Raleigh, Aug. 18.—Chairman Leroy Shuping, of Greensboro, assembled his state board of re covery here today, districted the state for the several members and on adjournment agreed that the next meeting would be held in Greensboro, better adapted to the individual members as a meeting place. Mr. Shuping was elected chair man and Major A. L. Fletcher, commissioner of labor, secretary. Many things discussed by the board were not to be put into the press. Mr. Shuping went into an explanation of the board’s work. He said the word briefly. ’The state recovery boards “have the power at will ‘to advise’ and ‘to report’ and ‘to act, when request ed by NRA,” he said by way of quotation. The state recovery councils “may at will ‘recom mend’ and ‘request’ but have no other power,” Mr. Shuping said by way of quoting from the Washington act. The state recov ery council is called “the field inspector of the state board as are district boards of the NRA." Mr. Shuping explained that the President’s re-employment agreement goes into effect by means of this machinery. That mechanism, he said by further discussion of the act, is now in operation to continue through the life »f the NRA or until pros perity is recovered. It is a nation- w-ide device which operates prin cipally through the state recov ery boards and they alone have power to act, directly or through their NRA local committees when so authorized by national head quarters. The recovery board goes on the trail of violators. Complaints against these recalcitrants will be filed first through local commit tees and if they are unable to compose the differences, the complaints will be handed over to fhe slate recovery board. Creating sentiment for the NR.A was agreed as the big work before the body. And setting un employed people to work is the colossal purpose of the govern ment itself, the members agreed. They think a greater emphasis upon work than upon the abbra- viated hours is Important. Mes- .srs. Separk and Lathan formu lated the motion that extended the work of the local committees.

Hoi Springs, Ark., Aug. 16.— A woman’s demands for money under threat of using informa tion confided to her by one of his victims to cause his prosecu- 110 n on a criminal charge brought Mark H. Shank, 41-year- old Akron, O., attorney on a secret trip to Arkansas with poi son which killed four persofis, he said in a confession today. Shank, cut and bruised by und erbrush as he fled through woods ahead of a bloodhound after giv ing poison in grape juice to Al vin Colley, his wife and three small children at a picnic lunch, was held in jail here tonight fac ing quadruple murdbr charges at Benton in an adjoining county. Breaking down after long hours of questioning, he asked only that officers recommend leniency to the court. To this, Prosecuting Attorney Millar Hal bert. replied he would ask for the death penalty. Denying connection with the theft of papers to be used as evi dence against a client of his from the prosecuting attorney’s office at Wooster, O., Shank as serted in the confession that the Akron woman he named had "de manded $400 from him under threat of Implicating him in the theft with which Colley was charged. Asked w^hether his plot con templated also her murder. Shank sad it did not. With Col ley out of the way. he said he had no further fear of her threats. a picnic lunch. They sought out a secluded spot in the woods some distance from the highway. There they spread the lunch. While Colley was gone with a farm youth to a nearby spring for water, Shank said he went on the opposite side of the car from where the others were and put the poison in five paper cups containing grape juice. If a sur viving child saw him, as the child related. Shank said he did hot know it. As the Colleys drank from the cups. Shank said he drank from a coffee cup. Soon one of the children was stricken with pain, began scream ing and they decided to leave hurriedly for Malvern to get medical aid. Shank said he did not seek to delay the departure and apitear- ed as anxious as they to get med ical aid. He never revealed to them that he had poisoned them, he said. Feared Revelations He said the woman, with whom he said Colley had been "running around.” made the statement that Colley told her Shank was implicated in the theft and fear of prosecution on this charge, he said, was the sole motive for the quardruple slaying. Shank revealed, as did letters found with Colley’s luggage, that he had been sending the Colley’s money and advising them to "use their heads.” In the confession. Shank said he was ill when the papers were taken from the Wooster Prose cutor's office during the forgery trial of Kenneth Braucher, to which they related Shank de clared he was Braucher’s lawyer but another represented him dur ing the trial because of his ill ness. He said he learned of the theft three or four days later. “Colley came to my office and informed me that a woman by the name of—was involving him in the robbery and would also implicate me unless she received $400,” Shank’s confession re lated. “Colley had been running around with the woman.” Colley left Ohio as detectives . Deserted His Victims Down the road some distance, the car driven by Colley began weaving. Observing that the poi son was affecting Colley, Shank said he leaped from the automo bile. He followed it a short dist ance, then fled into the woods. The car soon left the road and crashed into a fence with Colley dead at the wheel, one of the children also dead, and the mo ther and another child dying. The youngest child, Clyde, a little over three years old, appar ently escaped death because of an underdose of the poison. A group of Hot Springs offi cers, who chanced to be close be hind the car, saw Shank flee Into the woods, discovered the victims after the crash, and then chased Shank. A bloodhound was taken from Hot Springs and trailed him into a clump of bushes where he was captured. Shank is married but has no children. He said he had practic ed law in and near Akron for 15 years and had been a magistrate in subuijban Kenmore. He at tended Ohio Northern college, he said. He added he was in the army during the war and is now a captain in the Ohio officers’ reserve corps. The grand Jury, which will be asked to indict him, will meet at Benton two weeks from next Storm Death Trfl Grows Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 17.— The death toll from Wednesday morning’s tropical storm and floods reached 130 persons today as a survey of the destruction was com pleted. About 50,000 inhabitants were sufering from a water shoit- were seeking him on the charge of robbing the prosecutor’s of fice. Shank said he did not ad vise him to leave but kept in close communication with him afterwards. “I was* greatly worried over reports that reached me that I might be involved In the robbery of the prosecuting attorney’s of fice,” Shank said in explaining his decision to speed to .Hot Springs with the poison. With his decision to come and with the plot definitely formed in his mind, he declared he bought the poison in a drug store in Kenmore, an Akron enburb, telling ^the clerk he wanted it to kill rats. He said he had observ ed the poison’s reaction on rats. Asked -whether his plot con templated the deaths of the en tire Colley family, Shank replied he had not given the matter a thonght, thinking only of Colley. He arrived In Hot Springs Sunday afternoon, spent the night in the same apartm-ant bouse with the Colleys and Mon day they decided on a motor trip. They went to Malvern, then to Little Rock. Tuesday ^morning they started back by way of Mal vern. Determined upon carrying out Monday, Prosecutor Halbert said.
