MEETING TO BE
HELD TONIGHT
Three Out of the Five)
Publishers Have Already
Agreed to Make Prices
Coriform.
Tribune Bureau
, Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Aug. 20.—Three of the five
text book publishers who have con
tracts in North Carolina will change
their contracts to make the retail
prices conform with those new in ef
fect in Tennessee, and which in some
cases are lower than in this state,
but the other two companies will
probably bold out for the existing con
tract, and the state may have to sue,
iMs believed today by those familiar
with the situation, though no member
of the State board of education would
comment on the situntioh. pending
the meeting of the board tonight at 8
o'clock with representatives of the va
rious publishers. The publishers have
a'ready been instructed by wire to
give their representatives full power
to act for them at the meeting to
night. and it is still hoped by some of
tlje members of the board that all will
agree to make the Tennessee contract
prices effective in North Carolina, and
every effort will be made to this end.
However, if any of the publishers de
cline to do this, the board is convinced
that it has an excellent case and will
not hesitate to bring suit to compel
the application of the Tennessee
price scale in this state.
Two definite developments have
come out of the text book situation
in the last few days:
first—The board of education is
convinced that according to its con
tract with t’ae publishers, school chil
dren in North Carolinu are entitled
to buy their text books at the same
prices which Tennessee children pay
for them, despite some other .minor
technical changes in the form of the
contract*, and; ..
'Bemid—Tmff every effort Is to be
made to give the school (fiildren the
benefit of the lower prices as soon as
possible, so that efforts are being made
to make the Tennessee price lists ef
fective immediately.
For this reason it is hoped that it
will not be necessary to go iuto court,
but that the publishers will agree vol
untarily to put the new prices into
effect in North Cnrolina immediately.
That is why final action on the part
of ;*iie publishers is almost demanded
nt the meeting tonight.
There are a number of factors in
the text book situation that have
served to make it one of considerable
Complication, according to A. T. Allen,
state superintendent of public instruc
tion, who was appealed to in an effort
to get the salient facts in the case.
The first considerated in the matter
is the difference in the form of the
contract with North Carolina and
Tennessee. The contracts for books
for North Carolina stipulate only the
selling price to the individual school
ehild—the final retail price. In Ten
nessee. the eontraet quotes two prices,
both the wholesale price, at the
books are sold by the publishers, to
the dealers, and also the retail price
at which the books are sold to the
school children. And these retail
prices vary from one cent to seven
teen cents less per book than the
prices at which the same books are
sold to the school children in Nortn
Carolina, although in the majority of
cases, the prices are the same under
both contracts.
The difference ip the method of dis
tribution in the two states also enters
into the matter. In North Carolina
the books are shipped by the publish
ers in consignments generally of car
load lots, to the State depository and
sub-depositories, and the dealers in
the smaller towns and cities order
the books they need from these de
positories. The resplt is that no
matter how many books are ordered,
or by how many different publishers,
they can be shipped in one package
from the depository, thug lessening
the 'handling and freight or express
charges. It also saves much time
for both the dealer and the Bchool
children, as rush orders may be filled
and returned by the depository within
a day or two, while if the order bad
to go to New York or Boston it would
requite much longer.
The State board of education re
gards tile depository as being of dis
tinct service in the better distribution
of the books and desires to keep this
system, according to Mr. Alien. The
publishers also approve of the deposi
tory because it enables them to ship
in carload lots.
But while the publishers admit that
the North Carolina system Os handl
ing the books is superior to the Ten
nessee method, where the books are
shipped direct from the publishers to
the individual merchants handling
them all over the atate, they are un
willing to make the prices in the Ten
nessee contract effective in the North
Carolina contract unless North Caro
lina will change over and adopt the
Tennessee contract in its entirety,
which would mean the abolition of
the depositories over the State—-and
that is what the North Carolina
board does not want to do.
And the reason the publishers 4k

THE COTTON MARKET
Opening Steady at Decline of 4 to
7 Points, With October at 17.88.
New York, Aug. 26.—G4>)—The at
tention of the cotton trade appeared
to be divided between the fear of pos
sible storm damage to the eastern belt
crop, and prospects of clearing and
more favorable weather in the south
west during today's enrly trading in
the market here. The opening was
steady at a decline of 4 to 7 points
under realising, southern and local
selling, promoted by relatively easy
early rabies from Liverpool, and the
forecast for fair weather in Texas
and Oklahoma. October contracts sold
off to 17.88 and January to 17.92, net
declines of about 6 to 10 points, but
the tropical stoVm threat along t'.ie
Louisiana coast brought in some buy
ing and the market soon rallied. By
the end of the first hour October was
selling at 18 cents, with the market
about 3 to 6 points net higher.
Cotton futures opened steady, Oct
17.93; Dec. 17.92; Jan. 17.97; March
1815; May 18.24,
Total consumption of ice cream in
the United States last year was 322,-
729,000 gallons, or more than two
gallons for every man, woman and
child in the country,
not want to make these changes in the
North Carolina contract is because
they have similar contracts in South
Carolina, Mississippi and Arkansas,
nnd the minute they consented to
change the terms of the contract in
North Carolina, these other three
states wiilch have contract identical
with those of North Carolina, would
immediately clamor to have their-con
tracts changed—and of course, they
would have to give them the same
terms. \
Thus it is that the publishers main
tain that the higher prices charged
in North Carolina are justified be
cause ill this state they are parties to
the distribution of the books to the
school children, and maintain that
in Tennessee this is not the case,
their responsibility ending, as far as
distribution is concerned, when an or
der has been filled and delivered to the
carrier.
But • careful reading of the Ten
nessee contract does not bear out this
contention, first, because both whole
sale and retail prices are quoted, and
because specific mention is made of
distribution and delivery of the books
to the individual school children, as
in the North Carolina contract.
So it is that the board of education
is most hopeful Ahat the majority ot
the publishers, if not all of them, will
voluntarily consent to make the prices
quoted in Tennessee contract the
prices effective in North Carolina as
well

Old Money That’s “No Good.”-
Tribnne Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Aug. 26—Although their <
better judgment tells them it is worth- i
less, people w'lio still have “old I
money”, sometimes Confederate and
sometimes of State issue, still hope
that it may be good and are continu- 1
ally sending it in to Raleigh, either to I
the State treasurer or to the auditor,
asking if it is “good.” i
Today Baxter Durham, State audi- i
tor, brought hi a handful of-old, faded i
nnd much soiled money, issued by the i
State of North Carolina in 1862, and i
asked State Treasurer Ben R. Lacy 1
if it was any good, but it was not. '
“They still hope, though, that by i
some hook or crook it will be ‘good’
someday, but there isft’t any chance,”
said Mr. Lacy.

New York, Aug. 26. —OP)—Rudolph
Valentino's body was barred from pub
| lie view today to avoid further disord-
I ers among tile thousands who have
flocked to the screen idol's bier, and
also to avert clashes between rival
! groups of Italian admirers.
! “Normal decorum and dignity now
prevail at the Frank E. Campbell
' funeral church,” says an advertise
i ment in today’s papers. Attendants
I had said the occasion was being trans
formed into a “three-ringed circus.”
j Plans for a public funeral Monday
have been abandoned, and the cere
monies will be attended by invited
guests only.
“From now on,” said S. George Ull
man, friend and business manager of
the star, “Valentino’s body will be
viewed only by friends and associates
finder my personal supervision. The
lack of reverence, disorder and riot
ing since the body was first shown
have forced me to this decision.”
A queque resembling a football
snake dance was formed for six blocks
along Broadway nnd side streets yes
terday under police supervision after
the near riots of the day before.
Cross-town traffic was blocked by a
line four or five abreast that crawled
along Broadway ami in and put of
side streets until it was reduced to a
sing'c file near the undertakers' es
tablishment.
One woman who stood in line five
hours made three rounds of the ac
tor’s bier, fainted each time, and was
ordered by police not to return again.
A weeping girl was found to have an
onion in her handkerchief . Girls plied
powder puffs and lip sticks as they
neared the casket. Women fainted
and became hysterical. Twenty mount
ed police, 112 patrolmen, 12 sergeants
and four lieutenants were required to
handle the surging mass.
Eight More Years of Life Possible by
Correct Diet.
Wiiliamston, Mass , Aug. 25.—8 y
drinking more milk and eating less

Sherman, professor of chemistry at
Columbia University, told the insti

The adequate diet determined by
recent research work in nutrition, he
said, prescribes more milk and less
meat to increase individual efficiency t
and vitality. The public health move- ’
ment promises to augment the life
span by eight years and this increase!
could be doubled, Professor Sherman

j PRISON WALLS CANNOT
CHANGE CQCPLE’S love
Marion King and Ernest Strait Still
Hope to Live Normal Lives.
I (lty International News Service)
j Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 26.—Love
I that has carried them ('.trough a ca
. jreer of crime, culminating in their
| marriage in the shadow of the peni
' i tentiary, still flourishes behind gray
■ prison wa'ls and now promises to be
instrumental in obtaining their re
lease from prison on parole.
I Pinning their hopes of happiness
. on the action of the parole board at
, the next meeting. Memphis’ bobbed
" haired bandit and her bandit husband,
now content themselves with seeing
| one another once a week at the State
prison at Nashville.
They are Marion King, Mississippi
' heiress, who held up and robbed u
down-town cafeteria for funds to re
lease Ernest Strait, her bandit lover,
I from jail on bond.
, Ernest and Marion were sehoolday
sweethearts. Their childhood days
were spent on adjoining plantations in
Mississippi. Marion’s foilfer
died when she was young and she was
taken to an orphan's home.
When she became of age. a lnrge
plantation had been left to her by the
will of Jim King, who had adopted
her as a baby. King was the sheriff
at Tupelo. Miss., for many years.
But when she returned to the
scenes of her childhood. Ernest had
gone. She sought him. He had
fallen from the “straight and narrow”
and was lending a life of crime in
Memphis.
Marion went to Memphis and found
him in jail on robbery charges. Think
ing only of him and t’ae S2OO needed
to buy a bond that would release him
from jail, she obtained a big pistol
and held up a cafeteria and obtained
the money.
That night Ernest was free.
But the police were hot on Ma
rion’s trail. She was arrested and
identified as the pretty bandit.
From her cell in city prison she
sought legal advice. Half of her
plantation was sold and tier release
on bond obtained.
A few days before Marion’s trial,
they were married. At one of the
hardest fought legal battles in this
section a jury sentenced Marion to
serve five years in the State peni
tentiary.
Witnesses identified her by her big
blue eyes and her pretty bobbed hair.
Ernest wanted to go where she
went. He pleaded guilty and also
was sentenced to the penitentiary.
Now they are both eligible for pa
role. ' Their applications 'have been
filed with the parole board.
Once a week they are allowed to
see one another—through a steel
screen.
For one hour each week they plan
their future.
Marion still owns half the planta
tion.
When they are free, they will settle
down on file little plantation and fol
low the “straight and narrow,” they
both say.

ty in Whose Home It;
j Was Deserted.
I
| LAUNDRY MARK
IS ONLY CLUE
Mark “J.IlIl” Found
I in Several Dresfees Left
With Baby Now at Con
cord Hospital.
A precious babe in swaddling
clothing is being cared for temporarily
at the (,’oneord Hospital while local
officials endeavor to trace its parents
and locate a home for it.
The baby, a boy about three weeks 1
or a month old, wns left at the home of
Dr. J. S. Lafferty some time during '
the night, its cries arousing the house
hold at 4 o'eloek this morning. I'p- 1
on being awakened Mrs. Lafferty lis
tened for n few minutes to the cries
of the youngster, being unable to real
ize that he was inside her home. 1
When the cries continued Mrs. Laf
ferty went into the living room ams
; there found the bnbe resting comfort- 1
ably on a davenport. To insure his
I safety the person who left lfm there
had propped pillows about him, leav- <
ing nearby a bottle of milk and n i
, bundle of clothing. 1
It is through the clothing that of- (
fleers hope to trace the parents. Sev- i
eral baby dresses, all showing signs <
of having been worn and laundered
several times, bear the laundry mark, |
"J. N. H.” and the clothing was wrap- ]
ped in the heavy craft paper almost ’
i universally used by laundries. 1
Mrs. Lafferty notified the police.of '
her find and officers on duty carried '■
, the babe to the Concord Hospital, 1
; where already he has won his way
■ into the hearts of the nurses. He has
been given a basket ill the baby's ward 1
i and this morning was quietly enjoy
i ing the benefits found nt his new home. ‘
■ The nurses at the hospital insist that
, his name is “Jackie.” and they use
that name in addressing him.
The management of the Concord
i Stenni Laundry stated this morning
i that none of their regular customers
has the mark “J. N. JI." Several
i years ago a man at Harrisburg had
the mark but he has been dead several
■ years, .it was stated, and all of the
> laundry lie sent in was apparel for
I men.
Officers here, it is understood: have
notified police officers in other cities
• of the case and have asked that in- :
1 quiries be made in their cities to us- ,
l certain if anyone there lias the mark ;
’ found on the babe’s clothing.
i So far as the officers can learn no ;
one saw the person or persons who |
1 left the baby at the Lafferty home, ii ,
may be that the youngster stayed in i
I the home some time before crying out. i
i so it is impossible for the officers to i
know the hour the home was 'entered. ,
1 Officers also are unable to know
whether the babe was left at the Laf
ferty home on purpose or whether the >
. person who deserted it entered the first j
1 door found open. j
Due to the fact that many boarders ,
. stay at the Lafferty home the front
■ door is never locked aud it was easy ,
, for entrance to be matte there. Police
are inclined to the opinion that the
person who left the haby knew the j
Lafferty home is a boarding house and ,
that the front door is always open. f
One opinion expressed by officers is (
tht the babe was left by some one who (
had stayed for a day or so at the ,
Lafferty home and knew the kindly (
disposition of Mrs. Lafferty. ]
In the bundle of clothes left, with v
the boy are various sorts and sizes of f
garments. At the hospital this morn- f
ing the youngster was wearing a light
weight flannel shirt, diaper and petti- s.
coat that boasted of pink ribbons t
across the top .and a bow oil one
shoulder. He had been dressed in i
clean clothing after reaching the hos- t
pital and it was stated thut he was t
wearing a dress as well as the other i
garments when found. i
All of the dresses had the mark “J. i
i N. H.,” but the other clothes were not l
. marked. There wt(s one apron-dress i
, in the package, several ]iettieoats and l
about two dozen diapers. Some of
the dresses are large enough for a
, two-year-old child and all show that ’
they have been worn and washed 1
many times. The clothing is not torn, 1
I and everything in the package un- ]
doubtedly had just been returned from '
a laundry somewhere. Nurses who 1
! examined the clothing expressed the
opinion thut only one of the gar-
I ments was hand-made.
The baby shows no outward sign 1
of mistreatment. He is plenty plump, I
his skin is fair and his eyes grey or ■
blue. When police officers went into 1
the ward to examine his clothing he ‘
uttered not a sound when he wns
picked up and carried to a window j
where the marks could be more easily
read. When lie was placed back in
his basket and covered with a blan- 1
ket he seemed entirely happy with the
world. He had been fed after reach
ing the hospital although the manner
•!n which he held his fist to his mouth 1
indicated that he might have been 1
hungry again.
Until officers have had time to make 1
their investigation- the haby will be
left at the hospital. If they fail in
their efforts to locate his parents it <
is probable that they will try to get
some couple here to adopt the boy. i
The case has aroused unOsual In

J. V. Vickers, of Monroe,
a Prisoner at Raleigh,
Uses Old Ruse to Make
His Getaway.
GUARD WAITED
FOR HIS RETURN
Vickers Was in Charlotte
For Examination in Ef
fort to Get More Govern
ment Money.
Charlotte. N. C„ Aug. 26.—. T. Y.
Vickers, of Monroe, now serving n
penitentiary sentence at the state
pr'soD at Raleigh for manslaughter,
escaped on a down town street here
this morning from a guard.
Vickers was brought here yester
day for an examination by the U. S.
Veterans Bureau in connection with
an effort to obtain additional compen
sation for disabilities said to have
been incurred during the World War.
The man was sent to prison after
conviction for the slaying aud rob
bing of Ellison Y. Rogers, of Mon
roe on the old Tuckaseege road last
October Bth.
Within 15 minutes after his escape
word had passed through the street
crowds causing a sensation as the
reputation of the man as a "killer"
had accompanied the reports of his
dash. B. 8. Jenkins, guard at the
state farm at Halifax, had Vickers in
custody when he effected his escape.
The getaway was made after the
guard and prisoner had gone to a
physician’s office, and flnd'ng that it
would be some time before they could
be admitted they decided to go for a
stroll. Stopping at a confectionery
store. Vickers asked permission to go
to the rear of the establishment for
“a minute.” which the guard granted.
When he did not return shortly a
search was instituted. Jenkins said
he granted Vickers permission to
leave his sight because he had’ acted
in such a “model way” at other times.
The two had been here since Tues
day. They spent two nights together
in hotels. Jenkins snid he had not
been permitted to handcuff his pris
oner.
TROPICAL STORM IB
LESS VIOLENT NOW
One Death Reported In New Orleans
as a Result of the Storm There.
New Orleans, La., Aug. 26. —0 P )—
One person was known to be dead and
several others injured as a result of
a tropical storm which swept New Or
leans last night.
The storm’s full force did not strike
New Orleans. Weather Bureau of
ficials said the maximum velocity of
the wind was 44 miles an hour, and
the force of the storm had diminished
rapidly after it passed inland from
the Gulf of Mexico. It was reported
central today between Shreveport and
Vicksburg.
The first dentil from the storm came
when a lineman was killed as he came
in contact with a live wire. Other
injuries reimrted early today were of
a minor nature.
Dieting May Become Method Used
For Preserving Teeth.
Philadelphia, Aug. 25.—Dieting,
instead of dentistry, may be a future
method of preserving the teeth, dele
gates to the seventh international
dental congress were told today. The
discovery that dental ills may be
remedied through scientific selection
of foods is only recent, according to
Dr. Bernhard Gottlieb, of the uni
versity of Vienna, who added that
the. full import of the relation of
food to teeth has not yet been realiz
ed. But within five or ten years, he
said, teeth decay may be prevented
by eating certain foods.
“We have found,” he said, "That
weight giving food which builds up
the body tissues does not feed the
teeth. We have been working along
the most advanced scientific lines in
an effort to isolate goods which will
