RATES FIXED Brummitt Fails to Win Fight for a Higher Schedule By J. C. BASKERVILL The Times-News Bureau Sir Walter Hotel RALEIGH. Sept. 8.—Deciding it was better to adopt a salary ! schedule for teachers based on the amount of money available for them rather than a schedule that was higher than could actual ly be paid, the state board of ed ucation finally approved the salary schedule as drawn up by the state school commission several weeks ago. The only vote against its ap proval was cast by Attorney Gen eral Dennis G. Brummitt, who last week sought to get the board of education to approve a salarv schedule for teachers 10 per cent higher than the one that has now been adopted. The board at that time refused to act on the motion of the attorney general, deciding that it should wait until Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus and Lieuten ant Governor A. H. Graham could . be present, in spite of his vigor- j ! ous protest. This action by the state board of education bears out the predic tion made by this correspondent early this week to the effect that ! the board would refuse to adept * the motion made by Attorney General Brummitt and approve the salary schedule as already drawn up by a joint committee of the board of education and the school commission and approved by the school commission. This same story pointed out that even if the increase of 10 per cent ad vocated by the attorney general should be made, it would be mean ingless, since the teachers wouu not get any higher salaries for the reason that there is just so much money. This salary sched ule. as all those who have studied the question know, is purely a temporary schedule. In fact, it might more correctly be called nothing more than a plan for the distribution of salaries to teach ers, based on the amount of money available "for this purpose. “The school commission and (Continued on page four) COTTON CROP IS REPORTED 92,000 Acres More Than I Anticipated Was Remov ed in August WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.

FATALITIES IN SLEEP MALADY SHOW GROWTH Advance More Sharply ini Past Week Than Any Time of Epidemic DUBLIN, Ga., Sept. 8.—(UP). W. A. Fuqua. 48, was the first sleeping sickness fatality report ed in Geoi’gia today. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 8.—(UP).— Fatalities from sleeping sickness rose more sharply during the last week than any time since the epidemic began here July 30. In the last seven days 42 deaths have been reported and 10 fa talities were reported yesterday. This brought the total dead to 02. The spreading agent of the. disease remained unknown today, despite efforts of scores of fam ous scientists. A detailed study of almost every one of the more than GOO cases was being made by federal, state and city health authorities, augmented by many other men whose names are famous in the medical field. Despite every effort to run down and block the spreading agent of the disease, the rate of increase in victims continued un checked. The death rate among those stricken, which was below 10 per cent in the early stages of the epidemic now has risen to approximately one out of every seven. Study oi tne disease was tn vided into three phases yester day, with a group of noted ex perts in charge of each. One group directed by army medical officers sought to establish mos quitos or other insects as the car riers. Yellow fever mosquitoes were allowed to bite persons ill of sleeping sickness and then mon keys brought from Washington for the experiments. Many other insects will be tested as the pos sible carrier. ' Public health service investi gators, under the direction of Senior Surgeon J. P. Leake, were making a house-to-house canvass in the affected area in an effort to learn the spreading agent. The third group of epidemio logists continued investigations to check the early theory that the disease is spread by contact with a human carrier, probably through the nose and throat. The illness, the September Journal of the Missouri State Medical association said editor ially, “unquestionably is true en cephalitis, but a different type from any previously reported in this country. “The striking features of the disease,” says the Journal, “have been the suddenness and rapidity of onset, usually with headache, fever, nausea and vomiting. “A remarkable point is that notably few of those who have died of the disease are under oO vears of age and in most fatal, 1 cases a complication of other | diseases has existed. . ! Less than 100 of those stricken have been released as cured, but physicians observing the cases closely believe there will be no serious after-effects in most cases. Brings Suit for The ‘Explosion’ Of His Glass Eye -— I BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. g _(UP) _0. G. Mattheus, charging that the “explosion’’ of an artificial eye for which he averred, was more excruci pain and inconvenience, yester day brought suit for $10,000 damages against the Lynch Jew elry company. Mattheus said the glass eve burst with an audible sound last July 9, a year and a half after he purchased it. The pain, he averred, was most excruci ating than that which accom panied the loss of his eye by the explosion of an acetylene torch in 1922. Eye specialists were at a, loss to explain the “explosion” of the artificial optic. FLORIDA JUDGE DIES TAMPA, Fla.. Sept. 8.—(UP). Judge F. M.

Felmet of the state rev enue department, today called at tention of professional men to the fact that a 15 per cent pen alty will be in force on privilege taxes after next Monday. Mr. Felmet will be in his office on Monday and urges that these taxes be paid in order to avoid the penalty. Merchants who have not mail ed in their August sales tax re ports may bring them to the of fice on ihe second floor of the city hall and they will be sent to Raleigh. Mr. Felmet also called atten tion to rulings of the department on sales of ice from trucks and on sale of products of farms, for ests and mines by the producer from vehicles. Rulings were as follows: 1. —The sale of ice by manu facturer selling ice manufactured by such seller, from wagons, trucks or other vehicle? used by such manufacturer in ».».■* sales of and delivery services of ice, would not constitute the manu facturer selling in such way a merchant in the ordinary mean ing of the term and such sales, so made by the ice manufactur ers, would not be liable to the retail tax by. reason of the ex emption contained in section 404, sub-section 9. of the emergency revenue act of 1933. 2. _Sales of products of farms, forests and mines, when made by the producer from wagons, trucks or other vehicles, would not con stitute the producer making such sales a merchant in the ordinary meaning of that term and such sales when so made by the pro ducer of the products of farms, forests or mines would not be li able to retail sales tax by reason of the exemption provided by section 405 of the emergency revenue act of 1933.

Claire Windsor Ignorant Read Married Man Mrs. Read Prodded to Wrath by Lawyers in Balm Suit LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8. (UP) Marion Y. Read yesterday rested her $100,000 suit against Claire Windsor, the actress, over the al legedly alienated love of Alfred C, Read, Jr. Questions involving the names of various men were fired one af ter another at Mrs. Read by coun sel for Miss Windsor. Flustered and angry, Mrs. Read answered the first few with “cer-l tainly not!” Later she controlled herself and smiled at the queries. Mrs. Read did admit, however, that she and Read had discussed a divorce after the young broker had met Miss Windsor on a trans continental train and had become engrossed in a romance with her. “I knew A1 had been running around with Miss Windsor in New York but he told me^ there was nothing serious in it,” Mrs. Read said. “A month later, how ever. I found a letter from Miss Windsor to my husband in the wastebasket of Al’s room in a Hol lywood hotel, where we were stay I ing.” . She and Kead quarreled an uie way from Hollywood to Oakland after the letter was found, Mrs. Read said. Read went to his of fice and got a package of Miss Windsor’s letters and gave them to her. “We burned them, and A1 agreed to give up the actress and stop writing,” she continued. “But ; later T learned he was* still corre l sponding with her, and we sepa , rated.” Mrsh. Read first grew angry when opposing attorneys tried to I link her name with Harold Belas ! co, former business associate of I Read. I “Isn’t it a fact that during a San Francisco party in your hon or you invited him to share your room?” she was asked. “That’s a lie,” she cried. “Didn’t you receive letters sent from China by one Gene Alvin?” “Certainly not.” She voiced equally emphatic denial of questions relating to other men. Likewise she denied ever discussing with her husband the alienation suit. She added that she loved Read “very dearly” before Miss Windsor’s entrance to the scene. Miss Windsor’s attorneys at once filed the usual arguments for a non-suit, with prospects that Read will be the first defense wit ness when the hearing resumes. The actress in a lengthy appear {Continued on page 4.) CARNIVAL OF TRADE TO END ON SATURDAY Cash and Prize Awards Will Be Made at 8 P.
