This Work Is Expected to

Than Any Preceding One
This Season.
COMMITTEESHAVE
A HERCULEAN TASK
Lines Drawn Between Sup
porters of Gov. McLean and
** the Proponents of Bowie-
Heath Bond Issue.
Raleiglr Feb. 2 (By the Associated
Preen). —The heavy legislative grind of
the General Assembly is now well start-}
<“<l, and this week is expected to bring
forth more real work in the legislature'
than any preceding one of , this session.
The budget commission's report is ex
pected to nbsorb the attention of the ap
propriation oomrnitteos of both houses,
while the tentative revenue bill of the
state board of assessment will be before
the finance committee for revamping.
Among the important measures to come
on the floor will be < committee substi
tutes for the bus regulation bill.
The appropriation committee, many
members believe will have to do consid
erable slicing in setting down maintain
enance , appropriation figures, in drawing
up their bill on’which will depend the
funds to be supplied the various depart
ments and institutions during tlie next
biennial period. Many nre of thet opinion
that the budget commision recommenda
tion will be cut to approximately $12,-
000,000 a year. This, they say, is about
all that can be borne even with increases
in income taxes of from 33 1-3 to 50 per
cent.
The finance committees have a task
commensurate with the appropr’ntion
committees. Theirs is the work of deter
mining the taxes for the two years to
meet the expenditures provided in the ap
propriation bill.
These bills probably will not come up
for action for several weeks. The com
mittee* have a Herculean task that re
quires much time for consideration.
The bus regulation bill substitute is
now on the Senate calendar.-' ‘-It was an
nounced Saturday that it would not .be
brotgll! torth iot ' action until, Tuesday,
because a number of the rh ember* are not
expected to return after the week-end in
time for tonight's session.
The lines nre expected to be drawn
probably at tonight's session between the
proponents of tlie Bowie-Heath $35,000,-
000 bond issue for roads, and the sup
porters of Governor McLean’s plan that
the bond issue forroads be limited to
$20,000,000. Tbe Bowie-Heath measure
is already in committee while the Govern
or’s proposals are expected to take form
tonight with the introduction in the Sen
ate of a bill embodying his views.

where the surgeon’s knife cuts. As the
bullet went completely through Joey’-s
body, the surgeons merely reached in

showed the appendix was diseased and
within a few years Joey would have had

NIGHT LIFE CAUSES
GRAND JURY INQUIRY
First Grand Jury | n Twenty Years Call
ed to Investigate Jazz Craze in
Wyoming Town.
Laramie, Wyo., Feb. I.—This city, in
fact, all of Albany county, is agog with
excitement.
And it is all because District Judge
V. J. Tibball, at tbe request, of county
attorney, S. C. Downey, has ordered a
grand jury to convene. It. is the first
time in 20 years that a grand jury bad
been ordered in this county.
Modern youth, “petting parties,”
saxaphones, jazzmania, hTuhballs, cock
tails, the hip dance, and other things
that go along with wild night life in
even a tame country town nre some of
the reasons given for calling of the
grand jury.
For weeks wagging tongues have
buffeted about a wave of racy gessip
concerning night life in Laramie. Staid
women who in their youth knew as
much about a “shingle bob” ns Columbus
did of submarines have shaken their
collective heads in doubt as they “sat
in” at their afternoon knitting sessions.
Here and there, a preacher, a. bit more
daring than the rest, gently would skirt
the subject in a sermon on youth and
jaizmania. All agreed that something
must be done to separate the boys and
girls from automobiles, the public dance
and the semi-public cup that cheers.
“Petting parties” of the 'teen ages in
traditionally tame and sober Laramie
mußt cease. And so—

MISS ETHEL LEGINffICA J*
IS FOUND WITH FRIENDS
Officers. However, Decline to Reveal
Just Where She Has Been Located
New York, Feb. I.—Eth 1 Leginska,
English piauist, who vanished last Mon
day night has been found outside of
New York city in the care of friends,
the police announced today, but just
where she is has not been revealed. Her
disappearance is said to have been caus
ed. by a nervous breakdown due to over
work.
In announcing the finding of Miss
Leginska. Captain John Ayers, of the
bureau of missing persons here, issued
a statement saying:
“Ethel leginska wns located Sunday
at a place outside New York where she
staying with friends. Her disappear
ance appeared to have been the direct
result of a nervous orenkdown caused
by overwork.
“Leginskn remembers nothing from
the time she left here Sunday, with Miss
Lucile Oliver, until she wns located.
“On request of Miss Leginskn the lo
cation of her friends is withheld, so
that' she might not be bothered by repre
sentatives of the press.”
Miss Oliver is a close friend of the
pianist and it wns she who first report
ed the disappearance to the, 'police. Miss
Oliver said that she and Miss Leginskn
started from their apartment to Carne
gie hall where Miss Leginska was to
give a recital and that while Miss Oliv
er went to pet a taxicab Miss Leginskn
disappeared.’
At first ,the incident was regarded
somewhat dubiously and as a possib’e
publicity stunt. It was recalled that
Miss Leginskn had disappeared in mu«h
the same manner 15 years ago in Lon
don. But when her absence lengthened
into days the police search became more
energetic.
Miss Leginska generally is conceded
to be in the first rank of musicians. She
is one of the few women who success
fully has conducted orchestras.

THE CASES OF GASTON
MEANS ANI) T. B. FELDER
Each Is Granted a Stay of Ninety Days
to Prepare Writs of Error and Ap
peal.
New York World ,31st.
Gaston B. Means, for whom a dappled
career as "international investigating
genius," department of justice agent,
murder trial defendant and senatorial in
vestigation witness has gained national
notoriety, and Thomas B. Felder, wide
ly known New York lawyer and friend
or former Attorney General Daugherty,
were found guilty yesterday of conspir
acy to bribe Daugherty and other gov
ernment officials.
Means, for the second time in six
months, was taken to the Tombs under
sentenee of two years in Atlanta and a
SIO,OOO fine, the maximum in Federal
District Court for conviction of conspir
acy.
Felder Escapes With Fine.
Felder, because of his age and the
jury’s recommendation for clemency, re
ceived no prison sentence but was fined
SIO,OOO. Conviction came as a visible
shock to the rather feeble lawyer.
Pending the result of the appeals both
-
Means’ imiH-isonment followed his failure
to put up a new SIO,OOO bond.
Judge Lindley granted each a stay of
ninety days to prepare writs of error and
appeal, during which, it was said in legal
quarters, Felder will be ethically unable
to practice. If his conviction is upheld,
disbarment will follow automaticaly.
Means’ Bond Already $40,000.
Means already is under $40,000 bail,
of which $25,000 was required pending
settlement of his appeal from conviction
last June, with Elmer W. .Tarnecke, >f
conspiracy to-violate the prohibition law.
and $15,000 on a blanket indictment
which has not yet been tried.
His counsel, Abram I. Meuin, argued
yesterday this amount should not be in
creased, but tlie motion was overruled.
Since he was brought here from Con
cord, N. C., for tho trial which ended
yesterday, tlie former government investi
gator lias been held in tile custody of the
United States marshal without bail. His
sentence last summer was the same as
that imposed yesterday, and Judge Lind
ley, at the request of Hiram C. Todd. t
special assistant attorney general, who
prosecuted both charges, ordered they
should not run concurrently.
Jnrnecke, formerly Means’ aid and con
fident, who was sentenced to serve two
years in Atlanta and fined- $5,000 last
summer, and who pleaded guilty at the
start of the present trial, was not’ sen
tenced yesterday. The court announced
it would postpone sentence to June 30th,
pending the result of Jarneeke’s appeal
from iiis previous conviction. Means'
ex-buddy, was the principal witness
against him and Felder, and testified be
is now employed by the government at
sll a day.
Sealed Verdict Returned.
The verdict, which was announced at
10:30 o’clock yesterday morning, was
reached at 8:30 o'clock Thursday night
but was sealed by order of Judge Lind
ley.
Felder’s small figure shook as the
jury's finding was read by the clerk of
the court, but Means’ large, placid face
reflected no emotion.
Before sentence was pronounced in the
jury’s recommendation for clemency for
Fewer, pointing out that the lawyer's
possible disbarment would be considerable
punishment.
Court Pro no (dices Sentences.
Then, pronouncing sentence, the court
said:
“I have never bad a more difficult situ
ation than this. lam a member of a
profession I love and which I think its
members love to the highest degree of
those of any profession. It is a pro
fession which abhors the slightest devia
tq.n from the path.of honor and integrity
and which demands unusual qualities
despite statements to the contrary.
“When I see a member of that pro
fession brought before me for a sentence
I am moved, but it would serve no good
purpose to continue.
“As to the defendant. Means, there is
no question in my mind that he did vio
late the law. I sentence him to two
years’ imprisonment at Atlanta and a
fine of SIO,OOO, and the defendant Felder
to a fine of $10,000.”
Felder, who is sixty-three, has been
practicing for forty-two years, during
which he has appeared in notable crim

His strength slowly ebbing, Collins de
voted his conscious moments to directing
the workers who for more than forty
hours have been chipping tiny flakes from
tlie huge rock in a futile effort to release
Collins' foot, all that was between him
and safety.-
Handicapped by the lack of tools and
the narrow passage, the rescuers have
made-but-little headway, but have kept
unceasingly at their task. Water seep
ing in from tlie ee-oovered cliff added to
the discomfort of Collins, and the men
who had squirmed through the crevice to
take him food and to do what little else
they could.
