‘LETTER 3hiijst
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
NBA Service Writer
Washington, -Dec. 17.—The fact
that Vice President Daweß has to
depend on a Democrat—Senatot Un-y
derwqod—to lead hj« fight for oliahgee
fti the rules of the npper house of
Congress 'tells its o\yn story of the
administration's attitude toward the
preposition—and toward Dawns', also.
Yet it doesn’t follow, jast because
one yf them sponsors the resolution,
that the Democrats favor gag-rule tn
the Senate. It doesn’t evep follow
that TTnderwood does.
It simply apits. Democratici purpos
eif to have a Republican'vice presi
dent whodpifig ’er up for something
a Republican administration doesn't
i want, since naturally, this creates a
I disagreeable Republican sitnatidn.
1 But when It comes actually to chang
ing the jmles, that'll be different.
** * i
Dawes undoubtedly is due to be
unmercifully razzed if he sticks to his
present Senate policy.
The Democrats evidently have made
Up their minds that Ije'll be good raw
material to work on. Senator Pat
Harrison began it, even before Con
gress convened, with his reference to
him ns "the Mussolini of American
politics.” ... * y
And the Republicans, unless he
cuts out the "Hell’n Marla” stulfVight
speedily, are going to let the Demo
crats have their own sweet, will with
him, possibly even talcing a hand in
th,e sport semi-oocasionally.

The-gi6t t>f it is that the adminis
tration and the Republican orgaitiza

independently of their plans- and

EIGHT MONTHS’ TERM
Corner Raleigh Officer Allowed
Freedom Under Bond Until Jan
uary 2.
Raleigh, Dec. 17.—Jesse Wyatt
goes Saturday, January 2, to the
state’s prison to serve a minimum of
eight months for killing Attorney
Stephen 8. Holt.
Judge Garland A. Midyette , end
ing hid six month's stay in the
seventh district, imposed the sen
tence this afternoon following an
hour and half of argument in which
the defense, "through James H. Pou,
sought to save the former police. of
ficer from a prison judgment- The
prosecution was in no great mood
for mercy and Colonel Ed S. Abell,
of the private interests in tnis trial,
urged Judge Hidyette not to forget
the Holt family, widowed and or
phaned by a “murderer’s -bullet.”:.
Judge Midyette, however, did not
regard Jesse Wyatt a murderer. His
honor said that the hffense of the
prisoner was manslaughter and man
slaughter is the “lowest form fit
killing.” This homicide, the judge de
clared, is involuntary and that 'form
was the lowest in manslaughter.
"Tomorrow when I leave for my
home in Jackson, ’ am liable to
commit involuntary manslaughter if
I get on the wrong side of the road,”
he said. There was an inference that
Jesse Wyatt was on the wrong side
of the highwny. He was there with a
pistol. He handled it carelessly, but
not with criminal intent. TUb jury
did not believe him guilty of volun
tary homicide, Judge Midyette said,
for near midnight when it brought
in its verdict its last act was a
recommendation for mercy.

teachey in the East Spencer echorfl
had administered -ISO wYiippffngs in
her room in one day has aroused .the
ire of members of the school board
and they were in Salisbury today
securing legal advice as to what
could be done about it. They etathd
that at a meeting of the school board
held last night they found as a tact
that only one child was Whipped on
the day in question.
It is said tonight the correspond

retruct the statement . The corre
siHindent, however, contends that
leading citizens of East Spencer
gave him the information about" the
affair,’■claiming that one child was
Vhippre as many as nine times nnd
that this citizen spates that the story
an it appeared in the papers was cor

of the school board. The affair has
stired up quite a little flurry in East

Vincent Astor Says Allowance
as a Child Was 35 Cents a Week
New York World.
The youitfe men and women of what
is'known as New York society are
continuing to air their opinions in
the Ynugasines.
The latest recruit is Vincent Astor,
who inherited $67,000,000 from John
Jacog Astor. Unlike Miss-Ellin Mac
kay, daughter of Clarence H. Mackay.
and William T. Adee, who hpve writ
ten tri m the New Yorker, Mr. Astor’s
opinii ns ary in the form of an inter
view. They are published in roe cur
relit issue of Collar's Weekly. Miss
Mackay and Mr. Adee, who replied to
her opinions' about the stag line, write
tjmir own stuff.
Among the revelations by Mr. Astor
is that he did not have an automobile
while at Harvard and, on an -allow
ance of $2,000 a year, “had ffo exer
cise considerable economy to get a
motorcycle.” He says he was "reared
with far less extravagance than many
young men of Fae so-called' wealthy
class.' .
Rockefellers Recoiled.
“When I went to tKiardtng school,"
he said, “I wps given no more
pocket money than my schoolmates—
-35’ or 30 cents a week, to be exact.’*
With respect to this point, it may
be recalled that in The World last
February John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
disch se ( [ that his children had started
nt.eiaht years with an allowance of
30 cents a week and none of them
received more than $2 a week until
they were fifteen. All were trained
tit keep accounts.
air. Astor, in Collier’s, denies there
Is any longer such a thing as "high
SOci't.y."’ The notion, he said, was
“ridiculous."’ based on “Hollywood,
interpretations of the luxurious lazi
ness of the so-called Four 11 unbred.”
Measured hy Headline.
“True,” he is quoted ns saying,
“rich pepole sometime display their
wealth in a vulgar Way. but the so

American tastes and usual American

"They may have more money than
the average American, bnt they don’t
eat any more meals, wear any more
clothes and they can't sleep in any
more beds. If Co ere is any social gulf
between different groups of Ameri
cans, it' isn't so much measured by
money as by headlines."
Mr. Astor takes occasion to deny
that the leisured class romp from
“orgy to orgy.” Idlers are found in
the slums as well ad in the "ex
clusive suburbs." He cannot con
i ceive of "anything mote wearisome
' than to live to accumulate and spend
