Shoots Girl, Suicides, On Main Street Leßoy Kitchin, 28, Dies After Firing on Employer And Girl Employee Richmond, Va.. Nov. I.—(AP)—Miss Ruth Slauson, 19. was shot through the head and Leßoy Kitchin, 2&, died as the result of bullet wounds inflict ed shortly afternoon today at Main an* l Eleventh streets in the heart of Richmond's business district. Clarence PhoeDus, employer of both Miss Slauson and Kitchin, was walk ing with her at the time, and told re porters later that Kitchin approached them and fired four shots, the first in the direction of Phoebus, the sec ond. which wounded the girl, and the temaining anes into his own head. Miss Slauson. who was conscious while undergoing first aid treatment, con firmed this account, and said she had no idea why Kitchin shot her. Kitchin died shortly after being taken to a hospital. The noonday crowd which passed along the street adjacent to the Rich mond post office, where the shoot ing 'occurred, was thrown into wild confusion by the tragedy and milled around, blocking traffic during the brief period before the dying man and wounded girl had been removed.

RASH Kit VI LI,. Raleigh, Nov. 1. —TL* State Elemen tary Textbook Commission, which held a aecret meeting In Greensboro a week ago, has declined to make pub lic what action it is going to recom mend with regard to the adoption of new geography texts, evidently de ciding It is better not to make any report until after the general election on November 8. All efforts to even ! get an intimation of what the com mission did have failed until today, when it was learned from sources close to the commission that it will pro bably recommend the adoption of a new geography series when it makes ts report to Dr. A. T. Allen. State superintendent of public instruction, and the State Board of Education, after the election. It is also understood that while some as the members of the commission opposed any recommendation for a lew book adoption at this time, that hey were outvoted by the women members of the commission, all of vhom are school teachers. There Is little doubt here that the commission has purposely decided to postpone its action until after the slectio nto prevent this action being used in the campaign. Even the an nouncement that the meeting was to be held brought forth a vigorous pro test from‘Algernon L Butler, of Clin ton, the TteputUiqan candidate for Vtate superintendent of public instruc ion. who maintained that any move toward another textbook adoption low would only be another move to "take care" of the textbook publish Ing companies and help them filch at least 2300,000 more out of the pockets of parents the first year the new book adoption went into effect. A book adoption at this time is not a direct issue in the campaign, of course. The talk about it has already proved irritating and it is no secret 'hat the Democratic political leaders wish the matter had not been brought up at this stage in the campaign and would like to have it all "shushed" antil after the election.
