' FORGERY CHARGE ATTRACTS CROWD Three Hundred Listen To Court Proceedings Against Carr M.r :. , boro Pair. At:tnejweekly meeting of the Recorder's' : : Court yesterday morning,-nine cases were tried by Judge Hinshaw. . Much ex citement was aroused among townspeople about the forgery charge s against two citizens of Carrboro. , Three hundred peo ple attended the session. In the forgery case Sam Pow ell and W. Clark, both of Carr boro, were charged with sign ing and attempting to cash a check that was illegal. Both men are white and about twenty-five years old. According to the evidence, Powell had work ed as a mechanic on Jack Ward- law's car. Wardlaw had given him a check for $12.50 in re turn for his labor. Powell cash ed the check, spent the money, and then told his wife he had not . been paid. His wife con tinually asked him for a part of the money, but he always told her he had not yet received it. As he had not the money, Pow ell decided to deceive her and sign a check illegally for the amount. He thought that money he would make on an other job would give him the money. Powell entered the of fice of the South-Eastern Ex press Company and asked Mr W. M. Adams to make out a check for $12.50 and sign Jack Wardlaw's'name to it. Adams refused and 'Powell signed it in stead. The check was signed on Mon day, May 12. The following Thursday, after he had shown the check to his wife and said that it was necessary to keep it as Wardlaw did not yet have money in the bank, Powell went fishing and left the check in his pocket. Mrs? Powell took the check and sent her son to get it cashed. He returned unable to have it cashed. She then sent her brother, Mr. Tom Clark, with the check to the Carrboro bank. The bank not knowing Wardlaw, refused to cash it and sent him to the the -Bank of Chapel Hill. At the Chanel Hill bank Cashier Hogan saw that the check had been forged and had Clark : ar rested immediately. Sam Pow ell 'was arrested upon his return from fishing. At the trial, Mr. S. M. Gattis appeared for both Powell and Clark. Judge Hinshaw declared them innocent as there was not sufficient evidence thai, fraud was attempted. Powell was in jail from Thursday, May 15, un til yesterday. Clarke remained in. jaii onlyuntil Saturday as he : was able to raise the $200 bond.

C WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1930 South 'Bell : i 'Rings' 'With. v i one Unknown to most students, the old bell in South building has been peeling off its resented sound at the hands of a substi tute for the past five days. Fred Hargraves, gentleman janitor of South building for over 12 years, was taken sick with acuteappen dicitis last Thursday evening. He was operated on in the Lin coln hospital for the colored in Durham, where he still remains in a critical condition. Born a native of Chapel Hill, Fred has been in the employ of the University for over a score of years. He received his great promotion to official ringer of the bell when the regular sexton fell asleep and caused W end of consternation in the 12 o'clock classes. " This was ten years ago. From that time up to this last Thursday, with the exception of a few erratic departures to the Haiti section of Durham and other such exclusive centers of ocal color, Fred has climbed the stairs of Old South building at the appointed times and made the neighboring hills ring with the peals of a bell rung as no other can. Even to an amateur in belfry . . -' art, the distinction of Fred s technique is discernible. SomeT how the campus co-eds scurry ing along through the arboretum. to the tune of the 10 :15 bell miss the" persuasiveness formerly Voiced in the resonant . sound. Certainly the inhabitants of Old East and Old . West dormitories miss the gentleness with which Fred used to summon them to awaken at 7 a. m. And the stu dents on 12 o'clock classes desire the perfect punctuality with which the 1 o'clock bell used to LTing. A. I. E. E. Tomorrow The final meeting of the year : the American Institute of Electrical Engineers will be held Thursday night at 7:15. Pro fessor R. F. Stainback, of the school of engineering will speak on the "Cathode Oscillograph." The meeting Thursday night will be very important and all members are urged to attend. Alumnus Plans n t ivez . Of Bed Bugs Vith Spiders (By J. M. Little) The momentous discovery was made recently by Dr. N. Loran do of Athens, "a physician well informed and a thoroughly competent, professional gentle man." This discovery was a species of spider? "that eradicates the ordinary 'bed bug,' " a type of insects that .."spread conta gion ... and cause much dis comfort to the. human race . . . around our milling quarters, lumber camps, villages and many homes," and:: was revealed in a recent letter, to Dr. E.

At the regular meeting of the University student branch of the Taylor Society held Monday eve ning in Bingham hall, Donald Coney, assistant librarian of the University, spoke on "Libraries and Scientific Management." In his talk Mr. Coney spoke of the application of scientific management to library work and especially of functionaliza tion as applied to the work of the University library. Considering the library as a producing organization, the product consists of "units of in formation," which may be books, parts of books, magazines, stere optican slides or other forms of information. The service ren dered by the library is the gath ering of this material, catalog ing it, filing it, and bringing it from the stacks. Whether the library of the fu ture supplies books and maga zines as it does now or turns to supplying moving picture films and phonograph . records, its function will still be to supply the "units of information" pre viously mentioned. With the more or less standardized li brary, functionalization is the most prominent field in which scientific management can be effected, and it is in this branch of Hh'e' work fthat i;ne Univer sity library has been workings. Time and motion study is an other field which is open in li brary work, for much of the rou tine work, such as circulating and cataloging, is of such a na ture that time and motion study can be' used effectively. Mr. Coney, who has been en gaged in library work for ten years, was connected witn tne library of the University of Michigan for several years and while there organized the new library of business administra tion. From- Michigan he went to the University of Maryland where he was librarian until he became assistant librarian here. During the remainder of the quarter "the local branch of the Taylor Society will hold two or three meetings. Destruction hands and quarters they might become a real joy to life in many. places." Mr. Atkinson advances his opinion that "besides being interesting from the entomolog ical standpoint, this spider is of real value, and should be culti vated. They nronagate rather rapidly, so some one should sup ply the bugs. This ought not to be -difficult as they are usually plentiful in the negro settle ments and about the mill work ers' quarters; and a few nickels would; get ycu a bottle full occa sionally."., -Dr. Atkinson . .adds further, that, the - spider is..not noisonous and does not . attack hunraii Jbeings. - Dr.'jGoker:;ls-syet uhdecidgd 3 asD; 3xp what k to d wlth 1 'thcP prdarsf whldh arxpecte&; any tirhevrosincei ' thef 6 ar&JihSH -no proper-f acflitisef 6r-r carM for them. -In-line-with- suggestions from Dr. -Atkinson,- the insects will probably be turned over r to the entomologists at State Col lege.

Chapel Hillians who came to Franklin Street about seven o'clock Saturday evening, were surprised at the novel visitors who had come to town. Seated on the low stone fence in front of the Methodist church-were a young man and his wife, play ing on their" violins. Parked at the curb was a large Ford car, especially built, made so that a small family could live in it. The mother of the young man sat on the back porch of the pe culiarly built "house-ear" and a young child was at her side. On the sides of the car was painted "Ray Auville, Master Violinist, Proclaimed Champion Every where." And as the champion violinist and his wife played away wih songs ii-of. various tunes, :xpeople began ttofather until after a short while as many as three hundred had gathered. . The two violins squeaked their pleasure at being here in Chapel Hill, and their masters played them with a zeal unmatched by even the great Fritz Kreisler. To be sure, by the expert man ner in which Auville shook his long locks of black hair, we might venture to declare him the peer of all violinists, as lie so modestly judged, himself. The University students seem ed to enjoy the program and the two interesting characters. Re quest numbers came after many pieces had been played before. No matter what was asked them, the master violinist and his wife were, able to play it. When the hat was later passed, the crowd willingly gave to the support of the violinists who provided them with the evening's entertain--ment. It was learned later on, that this travelling group was an other' of those which have been heading north from- Florida, stopping on their way to visit and entertain the people of the towns through which they pass. Previously the campus had seen a -travelling snake circus, and ah astronomy exhibit. WELCOME IN IS TO REOPEN THURSDAY i Due to the physical condition that the building is in, it was announced yesterday Jby Hthe manager , that . the Welcome In Cafeteria , would not. be able to open its doors Thursday nibrnv iing, as4t was. first planned.

The reopening of the establish ment will offer jol)S to many self- help students. Over a hundred students have been employed there. D NUMBER 17.5 TT Unanimou s. y PROPOSE DOLLAR INCREASE IN FEES TO COVER COSTS Campus' Faculty and Student Leaders Refuse To Consider Return To Tri-Weekly Plan. FEES CHEAPEST ON RECORD Harvard Fees $21 Yearly; Oth ers $19, $16, $20; Vote To Be Taken Next Week. (ByE. C.Daniel, Jr.) Meeting last night for the first time since January of last year, the student activities committee unanimously endorsed the con tinuance of the Tar Heel as a daily. During the discussions of of this point, both faculty mem bers and , students joined in Draise of the rmhlicaiirm snpaVi ing highly of its value, the pres tige which it gives the Univer sity, and ? its value to student life. ' '; v;. : . , As a result of the meeting, the student body will be asked to vote an annual increase of one dollar in the publications fee in order to continue the issuance of the daily. In fact, a decision on this point was the principal objective of the conference. ' At the outset of the meeting, President Greene asked for a repr;f rom the Publications uilton ;v3oard 'as to ' the "amount of the deficit incurred in the pub lication of the daily ; this year. It was revealed by President Dunn that, although the other campus papers are practically self-supporting, the Tar Heel had "brought upon the board a net debt of $3300. ' In the beginning, some slight objection was offered to raising the fee on the grounds that financial conditions in the state were . prohibitive. As an alter native for this measure it was suggested by several faculty members that the Buccaneer be abolished and that the Yackety Yack and Magazine be simpli fied. .However, the student mem bers of the committee agreed and stated that the comic magazine would never be abolished by student vote, and so this idea was abandoned. E. Lear produced statistics to show ..that the- student publications-fee here is only about one third as much in the University as it is in schools of similar stan dards and with identical publi cations. Professor Lear's figures showed that the total fee at Har vard University amounts to $21. At other large schools the charges run from $16 to 20. In view of this fact, and since no increase has been made in the local . fee for seven years, de spite numerous improvements and additions in the quality and quantity of publicationsian ad dition to the regular charges was deemed justifiable by the meet ing. .... Since this increase in fee will nQt;;compUtely . cover the -extra cost of the: daily,, a, reallocation tr'f tlx& publi6ati6ns ' budget will 6e arranged:'' It is J hoped - by xnose interested in tne paper, es pecially the new business man ager, Pat Pattepon, that an in crease in - local and foreign ad verti sing may be secured to off set any additional need of funds.
