against Gerald C. Chapman, notorious
bandit, condemned to die for the mur
der of a Connecticut policeman, struck

inent Hanee laid the crime at the
door of (ieorge “Dutch” Anderson,
pal of Chapman, and Chas. “One
Arm" Wolfe, of Muncie.
It wns at the Hanee home that An
derson and Chapman lived after their
escape from the Atlanta penitentiary,
anil after Chapman attempted the rob
bery of the New Britain jewelry store,
which resulted in the slaying of a po
lice officer. Hnnce was one of the
chief witnesses against Chapman.

guard. Wolfe refuses to talk. Mrs.
Hanee died instantly, while Hanee
lived long enough to gasp out on accu
sation against Anderson and Wolfe.
A terrified farmer's wife, Mrs.
Chas Cromer, standing on her front
I Kirch, witnessed the tragedy. She re
lated :
. "Three machines were coming down
the road, one a small coupe carrying
an Ohio license, a large red automo
bile and the Hanee car. The red ma
chine passed the others almost in
front of my bouse. The coupe pulled
„ in front of th»—tinnoe. ear,aod
stopped. Mrs. Hanee wns the first to
to alight from the machine. She was
barefooted. Her husband stepped out
a second later. A few wards were ex
changed and the bandits fired. Mrs.
Hnnce fell dead with a bullet through
her head. Hanee and a man suppos
ed to be Anderson began wrestling in
the road. Several shots were fired at
close rnnge. Other shots were fired
after him and he fell mortally wound
ed as he leaped over a fence into a
corn field.
“The gunmen then turned their wea
pons on the red machine which had
stopped 200 yards up the Toad. An
other machine which passed also was
fired at before the two slayers jump

Sanatorium Patients Are
Crowding The Institution
It Will Be Necessary For Some Patients to Leave
Sanatorium to Make Roonf For Others Who Have
Been Admitted.
Sanatorium, N. C., Aug. 15.—OP)—
Sixteen pntients, all suffering from
tuberculosis and some of them bed
ridden, have been requested to
lenve the State Sanatorium here
for the treatment of the di
sease by September first if possible
and if not then, at the earliest possi
ble date afterward. Within the next
5 or 6 months, 18 to 20 other patients
in a similar condition will he served
with the notices to lenve. This poli
cy. adopted by the Board of Trustees
because of the lack of necessary build
ings, beds and maintenance funds, wns
ordered pnt into effect within two
months by a meeting of the Board held
here on July 7. Specifically, the Board
decided that all pntients ,iwho had
been at the institution 18 months or
longer must be required to lenve in
order to make room for other patients.
The 30 patients who will be affect
ed by the policy during the next five
months will go to various parts of the
State. Those who have families and
friends able to pay for their support
will go to private sanatoriums, those
with homes but without funds to af
ford private'sanatoriums will return
to their homes, those without funds or
homes will be returned to their home
counties where they will be placed in
the county homes if the counties have
no tubercular institutions in which to
treat them. Some of these patients
are bedridden, some of them are able
to be about for a limited time each
day; practically all of them have tu
berculosis in a stage of development
which presents little hope of a cure.
Death, with good treatment, may not
summon them for years; death, with
out good treatment, may visit them
within a short period. In practically
every case the disease has made such
progress that a total cure is regarded
as close to impossible. All of them
to live must have rest—by far the
greatest factors if not the greatest in
the treatment of the White Plague.
DEMOCRATS IN NEW
YORK HtTY BATTLE
Understood That Mayor
Hylan May Withdraw
From Primary and Enter
Race as Independent.
New York. Aug. 15— OP) —The at
tempt of Democratic leaders to con
fine the mayoralty split to the city
ticket by a so-called gentleman's agree
ment has apparently failed. The anti-
Hylan revolt has spread to all of the
five boroughs except Brooklyn, so far
as the county tickets are concerned.
Reports that Mayor Hylan would
withdraw from the race and enter the
November elections on an independent
ticket, or that be would remain in the
fight and run as an independent if de
feated in the primaries again gained
circulation.
John P. Coahalnn, the mayor’s cam
paign manager, declined to pledge that
Mr. Hylan would not run inde
pendently if defeated in the primaries.
Suspended on Charge of False Swear
ing.
Salisbury, Aug. 14.—Mayor C. M.
Henderlite has made another cut into
the ranks of the local police force
by suspending J. G. (Pat) Reeves,
an officer which the mayor says, tes
tified in a case that he had a search
warrant when, according to the may
oi' he did not have one. The officer
says lie was acting in good faith and
that the thought a warrant bearing
a previous date was all right for the
purposes for which he was using it.
At the time Reeves was accompany
-1 inf Reid Monroe, an officer who had
been suspended by the mayor and put
back by the -aldermen, and the mayor
had instructed that other officers
1 should not work with Monroe and
I that be would not sign vouchers for
Monroe’s giay. In this case Mon
s roe’s testimony differed froom Reeves’.
J Dr. R. Matt Patterson has returu

“The feeling of the Board," assert
ed I)r. P. P. McCain, superintendent
of the institution speaking for the
Board of Trustees, "is one of ex
treme regret that any such ruling be
came necessary but, in the face of
conditions, it was felt to be the best
course when the good of all was con
sidered.”
The institution is crowded to its
fullest capacity, stated Dr. McCain.
The institution has room for 300 tu
bercular patients and a waiting list
at the present time of 133, all of
whom have the disease in its earliest
stages and who might be restored to
usefulness if taken into the institu
tion at once. Under present condi
tions it is three months after a person
with the disease applies for admis
sion before he or she can be admitted
and three months within the institu
tion may be flie necessary time to
save a life while out of it the disease
may have developed to such a state
that the case becomes n most serious
one; sometimes impossible to cure.
When the 1!)25 legislature met, stat
ed Dr. McCain, the Sanatorium ask
ed for an appropriation for permanent
improvements of something over a
million dollars to care for about one
thousand cases. Told to trim this
request by the legislators in elinrge.
the amount was cut to $480,000 which
would have cared for the waiting list
as well as all patients now at the hos
pital. The legislature finally allowed
$137,000 which is only sufficient to
build a' children's building and a
nurse's home, two additions to the in
stitution which the Board considers
to be vitally necessary.
The Sanatorium, continued Dr. Mc-
Cain, has dining room, kitchen, and
all basis units except buildings for
beds to care for double its present
capacity. Had the appropriation re
quest of $480,000 been allowed the
capacity could have been doubled and

New York, Aug. 15.—(A s )—Mrs. J.
P. Morgan, wife of the international
banker, lay dead in her palatial home
at Glen Cove today, a victim of the
mysterious sleeping sickness.
For two months a corps of physi
cians backed by virtually unlimited
funds had sought to save her life, but
she never emerged entirely from a
state of coma.
The end came shortly after noon
yesterday, and the immediate cause
was a heart collapse induced by an at
tack of indigestion. The primary
cause, however, was lethargic en
cephalitis, a form of sleeping sickness,
distinct from that prevalent in Africa.
Only a physician and two nurses
w‘ere as the deathbed. Mr. Morgan
wns summoned, but arrived after Mrs.
Morgan’s death.

DAVID BLAIR MAY
LAND IN CABINET
Tar Heel Boosted for Appointmeak
to Succeed Secretary Weeks.
Washington, Aug. 14.—Here’s i
brand new entry in the “free fojj
all” contest. Reports as to this mas
and that man among the Republican!
as being in the race or being stfff
gested and recommended by friena
for the position of secretary of w«
when-Secretary John W, Weeks stem
down and out continue to be beard.
Among the very latest name to bt
mentioned in this connection is Davit
H. Blair, of Winston-Salem, eommis
sioner of internal revenue. This re
port as it went the rounds was thal
Mr. Blair had the backing of Seer*
tary of the Treasury Mellon, and thai
it looked as if he would become thi
secretary of war in succession to S*e
retar.v Weeks.
But there was little credence five!
it, for the reason that Commissionei
Blair being a Nortli Carolinian wll
, hardly be given a cabinet position, tt
, the South is held as a certainty Jim
to have a look in for a cabinet pl*H
so long as the Republican party is ii
power. Commissioner Blair is o
Quaker stock and the Quakers do noi
take kindly to the idea of war, oi
ComininpKsioner Blair's early trainhl|
would appear to have made a positioi
as secretary of war of the class os
"persona non grata” to him.,. ;*i]
In Republican circles the idea ex
pressed is that the man who has thi
best look in for the position of seriff
tary of war is Dwight F. Davis, actifo
secretary in the absence of Secret*!*;
1 Weeks.
