Mason, Wilmington Negro drug gist Wilmington, Jan. 18.—lAP) —Fran- cis Young Legare, Jr., scion of an old North Charleston, S. C., family, on trial here for his life for the murder of C. W. Mason, Negro druggist, dur ing an attempted hold-up on October 27, 1934, entered a plea of second de gree murder this morning ami the pica was accepted by the State. Legare yesterday heard a battery of State witnesses take the stand and quote him as having said he killed the Negro. These included persons reaching the scene soon after Mason's body had been pumped full of bullets, and police officers who questioned the defendant after the shooting. This morning the State resumed the same line of testimony it developed against the Charlestonian yesterday and the defense, after a brief confer ence, announced Legare would enter a pica of second degree murder if tlxc State would accept. Sentence was delayed while State and defense attorneys conferred with the court about the case, the chara. cter of the youth and other details bearing upon his case. Johnson Has Good Cause for Fighting Slot Machine Evil IJuil} dispatch lliirrnii, In the 81- Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Jan. 18. —When Senator Rivers D. Johnson, of Duplin county, gives his children money for movie tickets he means for them to go to the movies. He does not intend for them to drop the said movie fares in slot machines. A short time before the 1935 Gen eral Assembly convened, he gave his children money for movie tickets. On their way to the picture show the children stopped in a. store, reputedly owned by the mayor of Warsaw, Johnson’s home town, and tried their luck at playing a slot machine. It was awful. After dropping all their money in the machine they returned home for more money. They explained to the senator that they still wanted to seei the show. So Senator Johnson has taken steps to insure htat his children will see a movie when he starts them on their way. One of the first things he did, upon the convening of the present ses sion, was to introduce a bill to abolish slot machines. It is a stringent mea sure and would also prohibit their sale or manufacture. The ibill went to the committee on propositions and grievances. Senator Rivers Johnson thinks slot machines fall in both categories. Would Place Fax On Walkathons as Well as Marathons Daily OiNpalch llurciiii, In iMpal<*h Hiimiti, la the .Sir Walter Ifutel. Raleigh, Jan. 18.—At least one mem ber of the 1935 General Assembly has gone journalist. H e is Dr. Ralph Mc- Donald, cx-collcge professor and House member from Forsyth county, who is doing a daily column of leg’ islative gossip for a Winston-Salem paper. Furthermore!, it appears on page one. One newspaper man assigned to the legislature has announced his inten tion of lobbying for a law which would prohibit legislators from engaging in extra-curricular activities. He thinks that legislators, by virtue of their of fice, have an inside track on news men. The newsman protested the al legation that he is a journalist and said he was going to take up Dr. McDonald’s column with the code au. thority or somebody.

IS 1486—The marriage of 29- ycar-old Henry Tudor ended a war that began before he was born. He wed Elizabeth of York and in sured his possession of the English throne and termination of the War of the Roses. He became founder of the royal house of Tudor, the father of notorious Henry VIII, the grand father of great Elizabeth. Jan. 18, 1770 First skirmish of the American Revolution was fought, in New York. “Sons of Liberty” clashed with British soldiers after the latter had destroyed the "liberty pole” set up in "the Fields,” in the outskirts of the city (located at what is now Park Row and Broadway.) A committee of 51 merchants and property owners denounced the Sons of Liberty as irresponsible and unre presentative radicals, and doubtless added, “If you don’t like this coun try why don’t you go back where you came from?” Jan. 18, 1784 —Daniel Webster was born in Franklin, N. H., destined to become the greatest orator of his day. He couldn’t recite as a child be cause of poor memory; lie couldn’t make a speech at college because of fright!” Humiliated by the poor impression he made, he delibe rately set out to make himself elo quent. Jan. 18, 185-I—The Republic of So nora was proclaimed. “Gen.” William Walker, aged 30, Tennessee doctor, lawyer, and news paperman, landed with 45 followers at (La Paz, declared this Mexican pro j vincc a republic and himself as pres ident. When he. a California gold-seeker, asked thcM exican government for a concession for establishment of an American colony on Sonora and was refused, he sent out to take the whole territory by force. Thus began in Sonora the extraordinary career of the greatest of American soldiers of fortune, a crusader rivalling Richard the Lion-Hearted. Jan. 18, 1871 —The German Empire was formed. It has been erroneously as Germany ever since. (James W. Gerard, appointed U. S. ambassador to Germany, found that he had been made the envoy to a place that did not exist: there was no such political entity as Germany.) The empire was a confederation of kingdoms, grand duchies and princi palities. It remained for Hitler to tri-State gang.” Mais and Legenza shot their way out of a Richmond, Va„ prison Sep tember 29, 1934, killing one prison guard and seriously wounding two others. They were under sentence of death for the slaying of the custodian of a United States mail truck. They said that after their escape they robbed government armories in Baltimore and Norristown, Pa., to ob_ tain weapons. The two also had been sought for questioning in connection with the kidnaping of William Weiss, in Phil adelphia, last November. Ransom of SB,OOO was paid for his return, but Weiss is still missing. MAIS ANI) LEGENZA TO BE GIVEN OVER TO VIRGINIA Washington, Jan. 18. —(AP)— The Department of Justice plans to turn Robert Mais and Walter Legenza, tri- State gang leaders captured today in New York, over to the State of Vir ginia. for execution.

YOU’RE WRONG IF YOU BELIEVE— That Alphonso Bertillon invented the system of identification by finger prints. He didn’t. J. B.

Plan Heavier Tax On Hotels (CoMtlnuert from Fage One.) the annual license payment was stricken out following i: motion by Representative Thomas O'Berry, of Wayn e county. The section of the revenue bill de-* signed to license tourist homes was left intact after Dr. J. T. Burrus. senator from High roint, had raised tlie fucstion as to whether or not. the section intended protecting small boarding houses. After Commissioner Maxwell explained that full protec tion was assured Dr. Burrus withdrew his objection. A proposal nay Representative John Norwood county, to exact a license fee from surveyors was voted down. He also suggested the taxing of insur. ance agents under the professional section of the revenue bill, but with drew the motion when it was pointed out that they were already taxed un der another section. The committee doubled the license tax imposed upon dealers in cash re gislers, typawriters, adding machines, refrigerating machines, washing ma chines and similar devices by raising the fee to ten dollars for each place of business. The 193?> law assessed only five dollars in such cases. Several sections, over which there was no divergence of opinion, wer© passed rapidly. These concerned amusements, barber shops, cases, coal dealers, building and loan associations and bicycle, dealers. Other sections were loft open for future consideration. At Representa tive Laurie McEachcrn’s request, the committee deferred action on license fees for horse and milled ealers. Slot machine licenses were likewise held open by common consent in anticipa tion of legislation affecting them. Several bills designed to abolish them have been introduced in the lcgisla turc. At the suggestion of Commis. sioner Maxwell, the section dealing with dealers in installment paper, notes, bonds, or other such paper con stituting evidenie of debt was left open. "While the revenue from this section amounted to $62,000 during the last fiscal year,” said Mr. Maxwell, “our receipts for this year indicate that such dealers have found away to avoid payment of the tax. I sug gest that you wait until we have more information before we approve a remedly.” The joint finance committee has thus far moved along at an almost unprecedented rapid rate. It has, of course, left open for consideration several sections of the revenue bill, but, in them ain, they arc provisions which ate not of vita! importance. \J\ " \ / * jiff You N, Committee Plans Drivers’ License (Continued from Page One.) ber of individual bills that have al ready been introduced, it was dccid. cd at tlie first meeting of these com mittees. It is expected, that Chairman Spence, of the Senate Roads Commit tee, and Chairman Ttaem, of the House Roads Committee, will an nounce the personnel of the sub-com mittee within the next day or two. The only bill reported favorably by the two committes was that introduc ed several days ago by Senator A. Hall Johnson, of Asheville, Buncombe county, to empower the State High way and Public Works Commission to acquire the right of way for the new park.to-park highway in tlie same manner it now acquires rights of way for Stateh ighways. They*; has been some doubt as to whether the highway commission could proceed under the present State law to ac quire the right of way for the park way in the same manner it has ob tained rights of way for State high ways, and this bill by Senator John son will clear up this doubt. It is ex pected that the bill will be passed at once, since it received a unimously favorable report from both commit tees. The State Highway Commission can then proceed at once to obtain the right of way needed for the park, way. The State must obtain this right of way and deed it to the govern ment before the government will start construction of the highway. Chairman C. M. Waynick, of the highway commission, appeared before the committees and briefly outlined the needs of the highway department for the next two years. He pointed out that while they were asking $lO,- 000,000 a year for new construction, that it was proposed to use most of this in reconstructing old roads rath er than for building new ones, also for widening and resurfacing existing roads. “To Love, Honor, and Okay” WANT ADS FOR SALE—ONE SECOND HAND cook stove, used only 60 days, our customer decided to trade it in on a range at a substantial reduction.
