MELLETT LAWYER ENTERS THE CASE r He and Joseph R, Roach, of Chicago, Conferred With Woman Before She Started the Suit. Cleveland, Oh'o. Aug. 25.— UP) I Mrs. Don It. Mellett, of Indianapolis. I lnd.. today filed suit in Federal court) here asking damages of $106,000 for) the death of her husband, killed at! Canton July 18th. The suit yarned I ns defendants Ben Itudner, Max.lion: Lewis Mazer, Canton; and Patrick Eugene McDermott, N'anty G!o„ Pa. The petition nayied Mazer and Rad nor ns conspirators against the life of Mellett and claims damages be cause the slaying has deprived her of her husband's support. The suit was prepared in Canton after a conference w*:th H. C. I*ontius, who w T as attorney for Mellett, and Joseph R. Roach. Chicago criminal lawyer, conducting the murder inquiry. The suit is frankly interpreted as an effort to take the Don R. Mellett murder investigation out of “politics” and into Federal court here. Immediately upon filing of the suit by Attorney Francis W. I'ontson. of Cleveland. U. 8. Deputy Marshals started for Massillon to serve a copy of tlie petition on Rudner, other mar shals went to the county jail to de liver a copy to Mazer, who is held there on a federal liquor charge, and who also is charged with first degree murder in the killing of Mellett. Tlie suit nlleges the defendants plan ned and conspired among themselves and with divers other persons whose names are to the plaintiff unknown, to cause nnd bring about the death of Bon R. Mellett. It charges further that as a re sult of the alleged conspiracy the “de- and other persons unlawful ly and of deliberate and premeditated 4'. malice fed Wit amt ttiurffer-yh* sttM !T tfeh K. Mellett.” Poulson upon filing the suit, declar ed that the investigation of the mur der is getting no place because of pol ities. “The thing we want to do.” he said, “is to get this matter into federal court here where we know politics will not enter into the ease.” “Joseph R. Roach, the chief inves tigator at Canton, and Judge X. C. Pontius will give their nid in the suit, and both have enough evidence to prove the charges contained in it,” Poulson said.

COST OF TEXT BOOKS DISCUSSED AT MEETING State Board of Education Meets to Consider Matter at Direction of the Governor. , Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel “Raleigh, Aug. 25.—The first official i couxitjerat ion given question of. the-cost of text bookifTn Xorih Caro lina ns compared with the cost of the same text books in Tennessee, where i it has beeh found the prices are from i one to seventeen cents lower than here, was at a meeting of the Stateli board of education held' late Tuesday i afternoon, at the call of Governor A. i W. McLean, who wired instructions i from Wisconsin for the board to meet and give preliminary consideration to i the question, so that nil might be per- l feetly familiar with it on his return, when the board is expected to take l definite action. Governor McLean i did not indicate when he was leaving < i for Raleigh, but it is believed that he i will'be back within a few days, any- i wuy by the end of the week. What action is contemplated by the 1 board has not yet been determined and will not be until Governor McLean 1 returns, although those who have been looking into the matter with regard to the controversy, are convinced that North Carolina, according to its con tract with the text book publishers, is entitled to the same prices as Ten nessee, inasmuch ns the North Caro- 1 lina contract specifies that no other state shall be given a lower rate on books, and that if a lower rate is giv en, it shall apply to North Carolina also. It is said that the book publishers maintain that the prices quoted in Tennessee are wholesale prices, while in North Carolina the prices quoted fire retail prices. They also main tain that in Tennessee they assist in ] the distribution of the books while in North Carolina they do not, inasmuch as they are sent on a consignment basis to the State depository, which i they say is the distributing agent. However, it is believed that the State has ample grounds upon which j to demand that the same rates be granted here as in Tennessee, and it is regarded as certain that the board of education will demand that the pub- Mahers make their prices here in form td those in Tennessee.

Lieutenant Bettis with two other planes left the Kesqui-Centenniu! grounds in Philadelphia on Monday for Selfridge Field in Michigan, to prepare for the air races in Philadel phia next month. The other fliers were Lieuts. John J. Williams and Luther S. Smith. They stopped at Middletown, Pa., near Harrisburg, and later took off for Cleveland. Near Lewistown the aviators ran into a thick fog Monday afternoon, ami that was the lust seen of Lieut. Bettis un til lie was found. The other army officers reached Selfridge Field safely. Pursuit planes were sent out yes terday from Selfrldge Field and from Philadelphia in search of the missing pilot. Today all available planes be tween Philadelphia and Bc’.lefonte were to continue the search, but none went aloft because of the thick fog and rain prevailing over the entire territory. Whether the aviator suffered any serious injury would not be deter mined immediately. Because of his condition he was not permitted to dis cuss his experiences. A report from Lewistowh said the army flier was found on the north side of Jack Mountain, five miles from that town. A plane was seen to fall by a farmer's wife and a search was made of the south side of the mountain yes terday without success. Luter two young fanners found the wrecked .plqqe on the north side on n tiitt.a|tu pf ground. Accompanied by two other planes, Lieut. Bettis was flying from the Ses qui-Centennial grounds, Philadelphia, to Selfridge Field, in Michigan, when he ran into a fog on Monday after noon approximately twenty miles south of Bellefoute and lost his way. In searching for n landmark-he crash ed against the side of a mountain and fell. This wps at 1:15 p. in. In falling, one wing of the plane caught in a tree, and the machine wrapped; itself around the trunk, breaking the force of the fall. Wheth er Lieut. Bettis was rendered uncon scious in striking the ground is not yet known, as he is in no condition to talk. What information was ob tained was given by him to the high way employees who took him to a hos pital. Bettis was found on the main high way running from Lewistown to ISjdle fonte. The section of the road where he lay when picked up is under re construction, and traffic is detoured three or four miles away. Condition Not Critical. Bellefonte, I’a., Aug. 25. — UP) — Lieut.

The flier's left leg is broken below the knee; his skull is fractured in two places, and he has severe lacera tions on his fare and head. The army .officer owes his life to his grit. Buried thick an the deep forest where no one could find him or his wrecked plane, Lieut. Bettis crawled for five and one-half hours through tangled underbrush until he came to a roadway where he later was fouud by two state highway em ployees.

TOMATO WINE PROVES BEVERAGE OF POWER Convicts Make the Wine. Drink Some and Then Leave Their Prison Camp. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Aug. 25.—Tomato wine, made by convicts in the Polk farm prison camp near Raleigh, evidently brought good luck to two convicted ■murderers, who made their escape from the farm following tlieir incar ceration for making the wine and getting “high” in the ensuing cele bration. Their whereabouts have not yet been discovered. This swells the number of convicts now enjoying “va cations” to five, four of tlgem convict ed murderers. s After having stolen a quantity of tomatoes from which they made some extremely potent tomato wine. George Jackson, negro, serving from 20 to 30 years from Swain county for murder, with a reputation for being a “bad nigger”, and Ikey McMillan, also col ored. serving from 20 to 30 years for murder from Guilford county, pro ceeded to stage a “party” at whirl they got rather highly “lit.” Their fuel was confiscated by Captain Jesse Hilliar, in charge of the farm, and Jackson and McMillan were incar cerated in two dark cells and supplied only with bread and water, the cus tomary punishment for those who break the prison rules. But there evidently were others in Hie tomato wine plot who sympathized with the two miscreants, including the prison blacksmith. So while the oth ers were at supper, the blacksmith shop was entered and a pair of heavy nippers secured, with which the locks were clipped from the two solitary pells. In a few minutes the cells were empty and Jackson and Mc- Millan had taken to the woods before their disappearance had been discov ered. Their escape had been kept quiet until this morning, in the hope that they would be recaptured, but it is now believed it may be sometime be fore they are found. This is the second escape in a little more than a week, as last week three negro con victs, all long termers, encaped from the prison camp at a quarry near Durham. None has been recaptured as yet. .“Y” Secretary at Davidson. Davidson, X. C., Aug. 24.—(A 5 ) J. H. Appleby, of Florence. Al 1., "has been chosen Y. M. C. A.

COTTON CROP OF STATE WILL BE LARGE ONE Report Shows That the Crop in This State Has Improved in the Past Two Weeks. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. Aug. 25.—With its rating increased from 70 to. 73 per cent, by the government crop report, the cot ton crop prospects in North Carolina arc of file best and the outlook is for an excellent crop that in most respects should equal that of last year, according to the State crop reporting bureau. It is interesting to note that North Carolina is the only state that had its crop condition increased by the United States crop reporting board, all the other states either re maining stationary or undergoing big cuts to such nil extent that the total crop estimate was reduced by 373.000 bales. So it may be I’.mt the North Carolina farmers who increased their acreage one per cent, this year, in stead of decreasing it. may not have acted unwisely after all. The local office of the crop reporting service has refused to make any estimate as to the totnl number of bales that will be produced in North Carolina this season, and still refuse to do so. How ever, they say that judging from pres ent conditions, the crop should b$ fully as large as last year's, wliitfi amounted to 1,100,000 bales. The condition at present, which is rated at 73 per cent., is still two per cent, short, of the eondition at the same date last year, however, which might indicate that the crop would not go over bales, if quite that much. So far as the North Carolina crop is concerned, the effects of the drought early this spring seem to be causing an unusual amount of shedding of squhres and small bolls. Fruiting has been good, however, and the plants seem only to be dropping the excess that they cannt sustain under the present dry conditions, according to W. H. Rhodes, Jr., assistant crop statistician of the United States and State crop reporting service. This “drop” may be more natural than realized, and it is believed that it has been checked somewhat by the rains over the cotton belt the last few days. Light rains a bit earlier might have! caused sonic of these squares and bolls to hold on and develop, but at the. time the dry weather was too great. Still more light rains are needed. But a note ot warning is sounded against too imu'u optimism concern ing the crop, for conditions may change at any time, especially since the crop is distinctly from 15 to 25 days late and fruiting slow. Only from three to five bolls may be count ed as safe to date, says Mr. Rhodes, to the point where they may be count ed oil to produce. The remaining squares and small bolls on tile plants are still subject to weather damage ' or other changes that may take place before they are fully grown. An additional cause for concern has been the discovery of tile cotton cater pillar in the state, whose presence has just been definitely established by Dr. IV. R. Leiby, entomologist for the State department of agriculture. While not yet reported in alarming numbers, there is h possibility that With the crop ns late as it is, the caterpillar might do extensive dam age, as it destroys the leaves of the cotton plants. The boll weevil has done little if any damage, and there is scarcely any danger that it might still do. so. The condition of the crop over the United States as a whole is 63.5 per cpnt, as compared with 73 per cent, in North Carolina, where the yield is estimated at 265 pounds of lint to an acre. The estimated number of . bales is 10,248,000. of 500 pounds gross weight, ns compared with 16,- 103,607 lales produced last year, or 555,679 bales less than last year.
