ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVI BUTTLE OF WOHOS BETWEEN WHEELER | AND SENATOR REED I Spectacular Scene Before' the Senate Campaign Fund Committee in the! Hearing Ttoday. j BIG CROWD WAS PRESENT TO HEAR! Wheeler’s Public Charge l of Expenditures by Li quor Interests in Recent Pennsylvania Primary. Washington, June 17. —(A 5 )—Wayne H. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Sn'oon League, fnced Senator) Heed, of Missouri, in a spectacular battle of words today before the Sen ate campaign fund eoinmittee over Wheeler's public charges of expendi tures, by the “liquor interests" in Pennsylvania's $2.000,000 Republican primary. The long waited clash of wits be tween the dry leader and the fiery Missourian, a consistent foe of the Anti-Saloon League and its prohibi tion policies, brought an overflowing crowd to the big cominitte room and provided a breathless climax to the committee's colorful inquiry into the i Pennsylvania polities. Wheeler took with him to the wit- ! ness stand a bundle of papers ns if he were prepared for a long siege of ] questioning, running over many phas- j i es of the league's activities. I While the' eommmittee was engaged i in preliminary routine, Mr. W'.ieeler i pushed his way to the committee table i and addressed Cha : rmnn Reed: “My I name is Wayne 11. Wheeler,” he said. < “I’m glad to have the pleasure of i your acquaintance, sir," said Reed. "How long before 1 will be called?" Wheeler inquired. “Oh, in a little while.” , “The reason I ask is I have an en gagement for 1“I think you had better cancel it," tile chairman said, and Wheeler returned to his seat. Wheeler held his right hand high as ( he took the OHth administered by Reed as committee chainnnn. He took a , sent directly across the table- from , the Missourian. After bringing out that Wheeler was born in Ohio 56 years ago, Reed asked “What salary do you get?” “Six hundred sixty-six dollars a month." “How long have you drawn it?” j “Four or five years.” "What did you get before that?” ( “Seven thousand dollars." “What was your first salary with the league?' ’ "A hundred dollars a ( months and sometimes I did not get that." f “When did you start with the league?” “In June, 1894.” "At first I only mai)e speeches for ‘ the league while in obllege and got . only excuses then.” “The first four or five years of the j fight were very difficult," Wheeler said, "and funds were slow in coming in, and sometime the speakers re turned part of their salaries to make up the deficit.” He figured that in the early years he received about $33 a month, plus 1 expenses while on the road. { “What salary were you getting in ; 1897?” Reed asked. “I can’t recall definitely. I think it was $l5O or S2OO a month." Polite and soft spoken thus far, 1 Reed explained that he was trying to “get at” Wheeler's "history” in a general wny. But he pressed for a definite answer to his question and Wheeler said he would have to look up his records to get his salary from year to year. “1 did not know I was to be here this morning until I read it in the papers,” he said. “I did not know what I would be required to furnish.” Senator Reed chewed at his inevitable cigar and re plied softly “don't let's talk too much —let's answer questions." Wheeler then said his salary rose to $4,500 when he became state su perintendent in Ohio in 1900 or 1901, or "somewhere along there.” “Did you collect that?” “Most of it. I may have donated part of it along toward the end of the year.” The salary went to $5,000 some four or five years later. "The sub poena did not mention any of these things, so I did not refresh my recol lection,” Wheeler said. “Oh, 1 can give you plenty of time to refresh your recollection,” Reed said. “I just wanted in a general way.” • Wheeler said he was transferred to Washington in 1916 or 1917. "What was to be your position here?” "General counsel for the An ti-Saloon League. Later on I be came legislative superintendent.” “What was your salary as coun sel?" “I think it was $5,500 to $6,000.’” Wants Definite Facts and Figures.

Cal., formerly president 01 the American Phililigical Association. | He said : “The most lamentable sight in the world is the college graduate who shows himself not a whit better than the rucks. The chief fault of the pres ent age which the society of scholars should combat, is cheerful indiffer entism. amiable and lazy disregard of relative values. To s e life steudily and see it whole does not require much genium, but it does call for much care and work. Thinking is hard work. Hence, most men do ns little of it as possible. You will be up-to-date if you don't think. “Wrong-headedness is quite as fatal a thing as wrong-heartedness. [Bryan, being wrong-headed, did more j harm to the cause of religion than any other man of his time.

The initial demand seemed to be supplied at these figures, and prices later sagged under liquid ation with local and Southern selling I based on favorable view of weather conditions. October eased off to 16.30 by the end of the first hour, ac tive positions generally showing net losses of 1 to 5 points. The prospect for showers over the belt seined to be considered more de sirable than otherwise, although some traders were inclined to think warm dry weather to be preferable.

Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, June 17.—Suppose you should decide to teach your own child, could you secure a building, heat it in the winter, maintain it and pay a!) operating costs, and not pay out more than $4.32 a year? Yet that is what the state of Xort'li Carolina is doing right now. accord ing to the figures on expense distri bution contained in State School Facts, published by the department of education, just off the press today. But if you did not want to do the teaching yourself, could you employ a teacher who was an expert in all the various subjects, fbr $2165. to I teach this child of yours for the en-1 tire school year? Yet that is what I the State is doing. But although these figures may! sound ridiculously small, when you come to think about all the splendid work done by the schools and school teachers, take a look at wfiat the State spent for the education in 1914- 15. Ten years ago an average of $5.78 was spent on the education of each rural child, and only $12.62 was spent on the educating of each city child. In 1624-25 this amount had increased so that 21.81 was spent in educating each rural child—but only for a six months term—while in the special charter and city school—most of them running on a nine months basis—an average of $38,02 was being spent in the education of each child —not quite twice as much being spent on the city child as on the rural child. Thus a tendence appears to maintain a big gap between the edu cational cost of the rural and the city child. partly because it costa consider ably more to maintain a school for nine months with better trained teachers, than it does to maintain a six months school in the country. It is to remedy this wide gap between the advantages of the rural and city children that the State department of public instruction is urging consider ation of a nine months school term for both city and rural schools over the entire state. But. in analyzing the per capita cost of educating one child in North C'nrolina, the total cost has been di vided into three parts. These divisions are teaching and su pervision, which comprises 83.4 per cent, of the total expense; second, administration 2.5 per cent. —this ex pense; and third, operation and main tenance, amounting to 14.1 per cent., which includes the amount spent for fuel, janitors, school supplies, rent, insurance, etc. In other words, out of every dollar spent for schools in the State, 83.4 cents goes for teach ers and superintendents salaries, to supervistors and principals, that is those who do the actual instruction ; | 2.5 cents goes for clerical work in for the upkeep of the property. The per capita cost for each child, but city and rural schools, was $25.97 in 1924-25, taking the entire state as a whole. This represented an in crease of $1.91 over the previous year, of which $1.25 was for teaching and supervision and 66 cents for op eration and maintenance. There was no increase in administrative cost. The largest per capita expenditure in rural schools is an expenditure of $35.85 in New Hanover county. Dur ham and Currituck follow next with a per capita expenditure of $31.53 and $28.65, respectively. One rea son for the cost in New Hanover county is that all the schools have a nine months term. Currituck has a nine months term for all white chil dren, and Durham county has an ' eight months term in nearly all of the rural schools. 1 The lowest per capita cost per child is in Scotland county, where it amounts to $12.10. Greensboro has 1 the highest per capita cost among the city schools, at $49.51 per child. Rocky Mount has the lowest per capita cost out of thirty-four cities listed, at $25.54 per child. The "/ schools in the cities are all nine months schools, which accounts in part for the increased cost. 1 Wheat Farmers Pooling Crop; To Delay Selling. Wichita, Kas., June 17.— UP) — Thousands of fanners ’in Kansan. Oklahoma, Nebraska and" Colorado will market their 1926 wheat crop cooperatively this fall and yvinter.

FIVE PERSONS BI'RNED TO DEATH IN SLEEPER A Cross-Country Limited Pullman Catches Fire and Five Passengers Cremated. . Los Angeles. June 16.—Five per sons were burned to death and up wards of thirty others escaped unhurt early today when fire of undeter mined origin turned a cross-country tourist sleeper into an inferno of flame at Crystal Siding. Nevada. Mrs. J. G. King, of Drummond, Mont..* a bride of nine days, who was on a honeymoon trip with her hus band. a railroad clerk, was the only victim identified tonight. King es caped by leaping through a window. The unidentified bodies were those of two women, one man and a child. All have been removed to Las Vegas. Nev., where a coroner’s inquest will be held tomorrow. Passengers aboard the car said they were aroused by the flames which spread so quickly they could not reach the doors and had to jump through windows to safety. King said both he and Mrs. King tried to make for the door. Flames blocked this exit and King smashed his way through a window. He said he believed his wife was following him, but learned too late that she had been trapped. The destroyed tourist sleeper was part of the Continental limited which left Los Angeles last night for Salt Lake City. At the outbreak of the fire, the train crew cut out the car on the side track. Later it was taken to Caliente, Nev. When the wreckage was searched, five bodies were re covered. RENEW EFFORTS TO SAVE .HANSEL Many Asheville People Convinced That Negro is Not Guilty. Asheville, June 16.—Aroused to vigorous action because in the light of new- evidence they are convinced that the state is about to snuff out the life of an innocent man scores of Asheville citizens today were re doubling their efforts to persuade Governor McLean to spare the life of Alvin Manse), Asheville negro, who is in death row at State Prison awaiting execution July 9. A. Hall Johnston, Asheville lawyer, who de fended the negro, when he was con victed on last November on a charge of attacking a Buncombe county white woman last September, has in his possession seven or more affi davits from persons which he stated would establish an absolute alibi for the negro. The petitions in circulation today are asking that the death sentence be commuted. Au interested group of citizens met this morning in Mr. Johnston's office where the petitions w-ere drawn up and placed in circu lation. The Governor, it was learn ed. in a recent letter to an Asheville resident indicated that his attitude toward Manuel’s sentence would not be changed save through the efforts of a large proposition of Asheville people.
