OWNERS * 1 TiT PROVIDE JSB FOR VEHICLES Failure to Mrs* Requirement* Bs anlta in Many License Applica tions Held Up. Raleigh, July 13—(Failure Os auto mobile owners to secure titles for their vehicles before applying for licenses has created an unusual stir at the Raleigh automobile license bureau, said Commissioner of Reve nue Doughton late today. Under the law, declared the com missioner, a license for an automo bile cannot be issued the applicant unless fiis application is accompanied by a title. Numbers of persons who have either bought new oars or ex changed their old ones, subsequent to securing last year's license, asserted Sir. Doughton, failed to secure titles. They have applied for licenses with out their titles and have consequent ly been refused. Seventy-five per cent of the motor ists of the state have met all re quirements and have received their licenses says Mr. Doughton, but' there are still hundreds of letters on tile in the Raleigh office from ap plicants who failed to reply to in quires in reference to some dis crepancy in application. The force of the department is being seriously handicapped because of such failure of these "last minute applicants" to straighten out their applications. Gen. Beauregard's Old Home to Be Preserved.

Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, July 14.—The cotton hop per or "flea" has made its appearance In several other counties in the State following its discovery in Lincoln county more than a week ago, the entomology division of the State de partment of agriculture reports, the hopper having been found in Cleve land and Mecklenburg counties and probably in Gaston county, although the insect there differs somewhat from the hopper, and may be a different variety. It has not been possible as yet to make any estimate of the extent of the damage done by the hopper in any of these counties and it ia not thought to be extensive. The only material damage so far reported is in a field of'forty acres of cotton in Lincoln county, where the hopper waa first found, in which 80 per cent, of the bottom crop has |lsen destroyed by the hoppers suck ing the sap from the sterna of the '••“•MW*. - ,**<*',* ~, sqfc. Another insect pest that Is doing much damage to truck crops is the Mexican bean beetle. This pest was Draught into the United States from Mexica about ten years ago and first obtained a foothold in Alabama. From there it spread into other states and for the past two years had been in North Carolina, this year seri ously injuring the bean crops both in the eastern and western sections of the state, particularly ia the west ern part. Many letters have been received by the entomology division asking for information as to how to get rid of the peat. One, woman wrote that the beetle was “sucking the beans to death” and that there were as many as 100 of the yellow, fuzzy in sects on one plant. The beetle at tacks both bush and pole beans of the snap variety, but does not at tack soy beans. Dusting with so dium arsenate is recommended, al though If the beetles get too firmly entrenched in the beans, there is little that can be done, as they de stroy the foliage and suck out the sap. Thn Governor Feels Need of a Rest. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, July 14.—“1 believe you newspapermen are more anxious for me t,o take a vacation so that you can get a rest, rather than that I can get a rest,” Governor A.

Quest for Revenge Caused Triple Slaying. Chicago, July 14—OP)—The blind quest for revenge by an immigrant of a year ago who had lost a thumb in a machine lathe was revealed today as the indireet cause of the latest triple slaying in Cicero.

New York, July 14.—UP)—Thecot i ton market opened steady today at an i advance of 1 to 22 points in response ! to higher Liverpool cables and reports of further rain or showers in the South. TUia advance met a flOwi deal of realizing. however, -while there may have been some selling for a reaction on belief that the higher prices were bringing out fewer offer ings of old crop cotton in the south ern spot markets. Buying continued in sufficient vol ume to give tlie market a fairly steady undertone, but aftdr selling up to 17.45 at the start, October reacted to 17.23 while January eased off from 17.40 to 17.25, or about 9 to 12 points net lower. Prices were a few points up from these figures at the end of the first hour on buying which was probably encouraged by further complaints of insect damage, and ex pectations that the detailed weather. reports would show a good deal of precipitation over the belt.

' i i ’ I SENSATIONAL CHAPTER IN ALABAMA CRIME ANNALS ■ Woman Jailed in Charge of Slaying Her Husband Six Years Ago. r (By International News Service) E Gasden, Ala., July' 14.—One of the 7 most sensational chapters in Ala - bama crime annals came to an anti -1 climax here, and as a result Mrs. . Myrtle McClendon, 55. is in the Mar - shall county jail at Guntersville on a charge of slaying her husband, John ) Henry McClendon, six years ago. Four negroes—Cleo State. John ■< Murchison, Jim Hudson and Will . Crutcher —were convicted and given i life sentences in the Alabama peni . tentiary for the crime. Two of the negroes, Staten and , Murchison, are still serving their sen | tences in the prison, but Hudson and . Crutcher died several years ago. McClendon suddenly disappeared . from his home six years ago. One week inter his headless body was i found in n sink hole. A search dis closed the head in another portion . of the hole. The four negroes were soon under suspicion. They were indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced to life im prisonment for the McClendon mur der. Three months ago Otis McClendon, a nephew of the murdered man, was shot and killed by Cleve King, a cousin, after he had fired tifiSh King ns the latter lay in his bed at his Warrenton home, it is alleged. King, it was alleged, was shot in the leg. He jumped out of bed. ran into another room and seized a shot gun, and fired through the back door, according to one version of the kill ing. T.ie next day McClendon was found dead, sitting upright under a big tree near his home, his gun across his legs. As soon as it became known that he was dead, friends started reports that he had confessed to them that he was the slayer of John Henry McClendon, his uncle. These friends gave some facts about the killing which, officers thought, could not! have been known except through first hand information of the murder plot. Officers took the lead from Otis McClendon’s alleged confession nnd p.aeed Mrs, Myrtle McClendon, wife of the slain man, under arrest. Mrs. McClendon's own daughter, it is,said, gave officers the evidence whic'.i caused £er arrest. Just what j this evidence was, however, is not known. It is expected that other arrests-will be made in the ease, it was said. Meanwhile citizens of Marshall county are making efforts to obtain the release of the . two negroes now I in tlie penitentiary, serving life sen tences from the crime. Pet Hawk Rode For a Fall. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, July 14. —As the result of his craving for excitement and thrills S. Parrow Hawk, whose official quar ters nre in' the State Museum ’here, was seriously injured here today when, perched upon an oscillating electric' fan, his foot slipped and the blades did the rest. Immediate med ical attention was given by W. C. Davis, of (he museum staff, and the injured member encased in toothpick splints. But the excitement may prove too much. S. (’arrow Hawk! otherwise merely a young sparrow hawk that has beeii raised from a mere fledgling by foe museum staff, and which Ims become a ,'great pet, derived great delight from riding on the electric fan. Perched upon the brass guard just outside of the blades, as it oscillated to and fro, he would ride on it for hours at a time, loudly screaming his delight. But today the thrill must have had too big a kick, for his foot slipped, and when he pulled it out, it had been pretty badly mangled by the blades. But that is not the worst of it. Since young Sir. Hawk is a flesh eater and requires the use of both feet, or claws, in the process of tear ing up his food and eating it, it is feared that he may have" some diffi culty in deriving enough sustenance while his injured talon is in splints. However, the museum staff 'members are going to do • everything possible to see that he gets enough to eat and is restored to robust life again.
