Negroes of Brooklyn joined with po licemen Tuesday afternoon in search ing for the slayer. The fact that Cure ton dashed from the rear of his home at 423 East Stonewall street after shooting his wife, getting a lead of several blocks oi Constable Emory, who is said to have started in -pursuit Mien rte learned what had happened, is given as the reason for his escape.

CALLS BARD OF AVON VULGAR" Chaplin Film Innocent Be side .Some of Shake speare's Work. CREIGHTON SAYS RATE IS HELPFUL Charlotte Merchants De clared to be on Ecmal Footing With Virginia. Swire . Relief . 1 mtMlm By EARL C. REEVES, International News Service Staff Correspondent. London, June 22, Shakespeifd has nothing on Charlie Chaplin. Or. perhaps he has. He's more "vulgar.'-' - Norman Wilkinson says so. Nor man isn't a movie producer, promoter, scenario writer, or anything like it. Except that. In a fractional way of speaking, he's about to be an exhibitor. - Norman Wilkinson might even be rated with the high-brows. He de signed the scenery and costume for Granville Barker's Shakespearian pro ductions. Moreover he's one of the governors of the Shakespeare Memo rial hall at Sratford-on-Avon. Whence all the trouble starts. v The Memorial hail doesn't make it a way. It isn't endowed. So, for gross monetary reasons, it was decided, be- . .. , ..s..ia tVic Immortal tween annual Kr, bard, to turn his memorial Into a movie snow. . What a howl among the high-browa that started! 'Twas rank sacrilege, vu'gar commercialism, unthinkable, in credible, impossible, and any number of other things, all interrupted freely bv exclamation points. Lnnumbered letters to the editor were written and printed about it. Naturally, Charlie Chaplin was freely used in a more or less unflattering manner for purpose of argument. One gathered that the -Bard of .A von would turn in his grave, rise and haunt tne lives of the governors on and forever after that great first night when Char lie's eccentric trousers invaded the sac red precincts of Memorial Hall. One gathers also that Norman Wil kinson got rather fed-up with those at tackers who used Charlie as ammuni tion He tosses Charlie back again into the very teeth of his tormenters. For he cites his reasons for voting for the MOvie-on-Avon proposal thus "I cannot see anything vulgar in a photograph, even when it moves There are dozens of photographs in the Me morial Theatre already. "Having been a patron of Shake speare festivals for a consecutive, twenty-four years I have seen perform, ances of 'The Taming of the Shrew, 'The Merry Wives of Windsqr,' and other of Shakespeare plays that would make a Charlie Chaplin film seem in nocent and beautiful which it is. "The Memorial is a biggish building, and unless the government or the British public care to endow it the governors have to devise a .means to have.it scrubbed and dusted. "Lastly may I say, here Is a fine op portunity which those who have the trust of this theatre in their hands have given who is going to be the Shakespeare of the Movies? .. - "English films are developing. Now is the time for someone to come for ward and give a festival film." The rate victory Won by shippers f this Stato through the decision of th Interstate Commerce Commission, mak ing a change in the so-called economic basis upon which goods are distributed, gives North Carolina merchants ship ping advantages which fonly tner chants of Virginia cities have hereto fore enjoyed, according' to V. S. Creighton, traffic manager of the Char lotte Shippers and . Manufacturers As sociation. Advantages enjoyed by Virginia cities which made the distribution ot goods from cities of the Old Dominion imperative have been eliminate.l through the decision of the commis sion, Mr. Creighton said. The traffic expert doubted the possibility of mak ing any- accurate estimate as to the amount of money which may be sav.i North Carolina merchants. . The deci sion of the commission is expected to esult in the distribution of goods to he Carolinas from Carolina cities rath er than from Virginia cities; this fact, Mr. Creighton considers, is the slgnifi, cant result of the decision. EXPECTS TO GET COPY. Mr. Creighton was expecting Wed nesday a copy of the decision of the commission. He was unable to arrive at a definite opinion as to advantages given North Carolina merchants as a study of the decision would be neces sary. That North Carolina won a great victory is regarded as certain, bow ever, hesaid. Heretofore, shipments assigned to Rockingham, for instance, could be dis tributed from Richmond cheaper than Xrom Charlotte, although the route over which the goods would . travel would not be greater. The change of the system makes the distribution of goods from Charlotte as effective 'is from the Virginia capital. The freight rate fight never end, however, and now shippers must con sider the proposal of carriers to ,. in crease rates from, the west into Char lotte. The Tuesday decision of the commerce commission applies only fo shipments coming from eastern ship ping points. If the rate increases from the west proposed by carriers goes into effect Charlotte will suffer perhaps a serious rate increase, he said. WILL GO TO RALEIGH.

Harvard's un dergraduates think that Calvin Coolidge saved Boston; that King George is hen-pecked; that the supreme exp rience is to kiss a chorus girl, and that the American Revolution was rather a mistake.

Tryon St. . i Phone 3626 Miss Helen Starie Day, Teacher of Voice, Phone 2042-W. Mr. Creishton will attend a meeting in' Raleigh Friday when North Carolina shippers will discuss with members or the State Corporation Commission the proposal submitted by carriers relati i ; to rates from the west into the sta'e. A decision will be reached at this con ference as to what attitude shall be assumed in connection with the matter submitted by the -shippers. The carriers-will meet with represe.i- rtatives of shipping interests in Wa3n- ington June1 28 when the proposed in crease in rates will be considered. Should a satisfactory settlement of the proposal not be reached, Mr. CreiglP ton considered the chances likely that the carriers will undertake to publish rates and then the increase would be taken before the Interstate Commerce Commission. It was considered likely that fight will be waged against the proposed in crease unless the railroads can submit convincing evidence, showing the ne cessity for the increase. No estimate was made by . Mr. Creighton as to the increase this city will sustain if, the rates are upheld by -the commission, but he said it would be" considerable. DAY LABORER IS BOSS OF WORKS Did It By Making Himself Indispensable Via Hard . Work Route. San Francisco, June 22. Forty-two years ago James W. Harris was work ing as a day laborer on the tracks of the California Street Cable Company. Today he is its president, his eleva tion to that office from vice-president' having marked his arrival at the top rung or tne laaqer a tew days ago after mounting each one step by step from the first job he had with the company two score years ago. And here is the story of his success as he tells it himself: RADIO GIVES OUT WEATHER NEWS Report is Sent Out . from Arlington Station JBach Morning NoWi DigtrifeutiGn" Tre&ttier information is now being sent ou by radio, ac cording to information received by G. S. Landgren, of the-iocai weather bu reau, A summary of weather fore casts will be sent ,oui each morning at lb:30 o'clock from Arlington. Va., and can be picked up by amateur radio stations all over the country. This step marks one of the most im portant stages reached for some time in weather forecosts, declared Mr. Llnd gren.x Haflio telegraphy ha reached a stage of development where it must be recognized as a potential, medium for the dissemination- of weather fore casts, warnings , and information, es pecially to the many rural or other wise Isolated communities heretofore difficult ot impossible to serve adequate ly through available newspaperf tele graph, telephone and mail facilities. There are now in Charlotte and vi cinity, about 30 licensed and unlicensed amateurs who have wireless receiving sets. Weather reports may now be picked up every morning by these sta tions. The number of unlicensed amateurs in the United States who have wireless receiving sets is estimated to be in kSccsss of 20000, declared Mr. Lindgren. The operation of receiving sets requires no license, but radio transmission is re stricted and cannot be engaged in ex cept by license. There are now more than 10,000 licensed amateurs. The number of both 'classes is rapidly in creasing, about 1,000 licenses having been issued by the government In March alone. As licensed operators also have receiving sets, it is safe to esti mate that there are now over 30,000 persons in the country in a position to ofctain weather forecasts and warnings by radio. STATIONS IN COUNTRY A considerable portion of these radio stations are located in rural districts. Agricultural schools and colleges, more over, are making radio telegraphy, a part of their curriculums, and farm Journals are encouraging those who live on farms to install this useful apparatus. "It is not unreasonable .to expect," declared Mr. Lindgren, "that in the not distant future, a radio outfit will b3 a part of every farmer's equipment. This will go far toward placing him on an equality . with city interests regarding weather forecasts and warnings, cur rent happenings, market quotations, and other important information. "Aviation by day-to-day weather than any otheik, class of navigation, and for some time-' special flying weather fore casts for 13 zones, covering the entire countm have been issued. On June 1, 191, the weather bureau began to disseminate from the naval radio sta tion at Arlington a daily bulletin for aviation interests, but also designed to meet the needs of the farmer. The information consists of surface obser vations from about 40 regular weather bureau stations, a synopsis of general pressure conditions, wind and flying forecasts for six aviation zones east of the Mississippi river. If this bulle tin meets with the success that is ex pected, similar bulletins will be issued from other weather bureau centers." STATION FOR STATE Acording to reports,- the ultimate plan in mind will be to provide . for the distribution on fixed schedules of weather forecasts and warnings frm at least one radio station in each state. "Radio telephony is in an advanced stage of development, and eventually may prove more effective than wireless telegraphy.T continued Mr. Lindgren; "No more skill and experienced in pick ing up messages over the wireless tele phone than fn using the ordinary-telephone. Radio telephone receiving sets are now on the market and "the Bureau of Standards is engaged in perfecting inexpensive apparatus suitable for am ateur use that can be used interchange ably for both receiving by telegraph and telephone." Owners of radio sets who are inter ested in the radio forecasts can get the cods and other information at the local weather bureau. CHARGED WITH MURDERING SIX But Gentle Little Woman Sees No Reason To Worry.

Her cmile is Warm and she carries herself gracefully, Mr. Southard, those who have seen her agree, is the last person one would select as a possible whole sale murderess. Mrs. Southard is anxious to escape interviewers. Throughout the long trip across the Pacific and up from San Francisco to this little city in the sagebrush country Mrs. Southard has maintained a perfect calm. "I am not worried," she said in answer to a ques tion. "Why should I be? I have a clear conscience and documentary proof of the cause of death of my husbands and little Lorain Marie, my baby." Little Loraine Marie was the daugh ter of her - first marriage, her hus band havingr been Robert C. Dooley, a Missourian. Mrs. Southard has asserted that her husbands died from disease, which ahe admits might have been contracted from her as a carrier. The charges i asramet ner Allege murder by poison. PENSION MONEY IS AWAITING OWNERS CIVIL COURT MAY END BY FRIDAY About 100 Cases7 Are Re moved from Calendar by "Clean Up" Method. The term of superior court, civil session over which Judge 3. E.

As a result of the afternoon session about 160 eases were removed from the clan-up calendar by non'Suit methods. Other cases were disposed of in other ways, so that the entire calendar will will be rid of. The cdurt resumed its session at o'clock .Wednesday, but deterred the case which had been set for trial and adjourned tintll 2:S0 o'clock. At that hour several other small cases were to be taken lip for disuposal' The cas of the Cabin Creek Consoli dated Coal Company againtst C. V. Pal mer will come up Thursday.

About 25 per cent of the approxi mately $7,000 of pension money appor tioned to Mecklenburg county has not been called for at the clerk of the court's office, according to Deputy Clerk J. A. Russell, who has this mat ter in charge. The $7,000 represents the semi-annual distribution of pension money to former Confederate soldiers and widows of Confederate soldiers of the country. Mr Russell called attention to the fact that the county board of pensions will meet at the court house on the first Monday of July and that new ap plications for pensions should be sub mitted at that time. The amended law governing the dis tribution of pensions, Mr. Russell &aJd, allows more widows to re;ie pen sions than has been the case hereto fore. Only those who married Con federate soldiers prior to January 1868 have been eligible for pensions in this state heretofore. The amended law al lows all widows of Confederate 1 diers whose marriage occurred prior to January 1875 to receive a Mer.sion. This will allow a considerable num ber of additional pensions for Meckl-in burg county, Mr. Russell believes. 800TH ANNIVERSARY. Manchester, N. H., June 22. Harry T.

A criminal should be presumed insane until proven sane. This psychoanalytical contention, just made public by Dr. William N. Hicksen, head of the psychopathic la boratory of the municipal court, has lawyers, alienists and jurists. Dr. Hickeen has recommended that his contention be made a part of the criminal code, with as much height as the basic presumption, "a man is presumed innocent until proven guilty." Dr. Hicksen in his report holds that it is entirely wrong under the present procedure to place the burden of prov ing insanity upon the defense in such cases where sanity of the defendant is questioned. He contends that the burden of proving the defendant sane should rest on the prosecution. "There is a gradual realization of the complete inefficacy and break down of our present ideas and meth ods of handling crimes a complete realization that our present methods are futile, costly, demoralizing and inhuman both to the public and to de linquents," he said. "Almost all our murderers and most of our suicides give plenty of warning. Now that we know that a typical criminal is a mental defective ours is the ault if we do not segregate him " Dr. Hickson then declared that the criminal court code was. at fault in presuming criminals sane.
