PRESIDENCY OF WAKE FOREST IS MUCH TALKED OF Dr. A. A. Murphree of Uni versity Florida Reported Choice, But Really No De cision Until June 1 DR. HIGHSMITH, TOO n> J. C. HAHKKHVU.I. Sir Walter Hotel,. Raleigh. May 19.-?Who will he the next pres ident of Wake Forest, following the retirement June 1 of Dr. Wll | Ham Louis Poteat, who for 22 | years has glided this noted school I along its course? This In a question that is being ; heard as the time for the re tirement of Dr. Poteat and the se 1 lection of a new president draws neari?r And while mint* of the members of the committee of the board of trustees charged with the task of selecting the new president will discuss the situation, more i than to say that scores of names | have been recommended to them, I there are many reports in clrcula i tion as to whom the most likely candidates for the place are. At present, it Is reported that much effort Is being put forth to get Dr. A. A. Murphree. president of the University of Florida, to consider the post, and it has been loarned on good authority that a statement from Dr. Murphree is expected within a day or two as to whether or not he will consider the offer of the presidency of Wake Forest. When aiked if this were true, OHbert' TT-flteplrentbtt. %cha!tn!r?h of the committee of the trustees charged with this task, declined to make any statement, although he showed more interest at the men tion of Dr. Murphree's name than at any of the others. It would be manifestly unfair to everyone, Mr. Stephenson said, to mention the names of any of thoBe being J considered for the post, and he definitely stuted that no one would be selected until the meet | Ing of the board of trustees on jJune 1. However, those who know Dr. ! Murphree, and are familiar with ? the work ho has been doing for I nearly ten years now at the Uni versity of Florida at Gainesville, are not inclined to think that he would consider giving up his post there as head of a growing state university to accept the presidency of a smaller denominational col lege, such as Wake Forest. Dr. Murphree ha? labored long and arduously to build the Uni versity of Florida up to it* pres | ent standard, with more than ,2 000 students, and one of the larg est and best known summer (Continued on page 2) DRY OFFICERHAS SERIOUS MISHAP Cash From Jagged Metal Nearly Ends Career of Agent J. J. Ixtndon News of an accident which came near terminating the career of Federal Dty Agent J. J. Lon don. at the head of raiding forces now at work In this section, reached here today. While dismantling a still near Berea Church, nome five miles from this city, yesterday Mr. Lon don accidentally gashed his left wrist with a bit of Jagged metal, severing the main artery. It bled profusely, until a member of the raiding party whose name was not disclosed hit upon the expedient of Improvising a tourniquet from an old grass sack, lying near the still, and a bit of stick. This atopped the flow of blood. The moonshine plant Is report ed unofficially to have been a hundred-gallon outfit, newly con structed. With It were seised five gallons of liquor, S.000 gallons of beer, 13 fermenters and consider able quantities of meal and coal. No arrests were made. Persons tn close tonch with dry law enforcement activities here etate that the selturee made by the raiders headed by Agent Lon don have materially reduced the1 formerly hesvy exportation df i moonshine liquor from this sec tion to points to the North In Hie last few months. More than 100 stills have been wrecked In the lest few months, representing sn In vestment estimsted st well above 9100.000 In equipment slone, to say nothing of ths many thou sand gallons of mssh poured out, and the sugar, meal and other sup plies confiscated.

Destruction of tike school promlaed to place a heav ier financial burden on the tax payers. Bath, Mich., May 19?(AP)? With 36 of its children who yes terday romped through its streets and five adults lying still in death, this little village of some 300 per sons was Juat beginning today to comprehend the full horror of the maniacal dynamiting yesterday of Its consolidated school. Forty four others were seriously injured. No one knows the number of minor injuries. Included In the dead is Andrew Kehoe, revenge maddened fanuar,. treasurer of the township nchool board, who mined the school with '9yna?nlte and' gunpowder and b1ew^^ hlmaeIf |,to eternity after wing of the school to pieces and hurl the bodies of Its little pupils through wlndowi and walls. Only a whim of fate or accident prevented destruction of the en tire village. Mrs. Kehoe was the first victim of his fury. It was es tablished today. Portions of her body were found in the ashes of one of the outbuildings on th? Kehoe farm. Her skull was crushed, leading to the belief in**. Kehoe killed her before casting her body Into the building to be burned. Investigation showed that Ke hoe. angered because of a school tax levied agalnat him and nurs ing his opposition to the erection of the building three years ago had carefully mined the basement, installing an elaborate system of electrical wiring connected with a time clock. His plans seemingly called for destruction of the entire structure with its more than 260 pupils and Instructors. One of the wires he so carefully Installed became ahort circuited and the electric impulse failed to complete Its course. It was this ralture that prevented the killing of more than 150 more pupils In another patt of the building. In all there were three explo slons. The first occurred early yesterday morning at Kehoe'n home, about a mile west of the village, destroying the house, barn and wagon sheds. All apparently were wired to the same time de vice. The second blast was that In the jschool building. It came at 9:43 ja. m.. only a few minutes after classes had been assembled. The time has been fixed definitely be cause all of the clocks In the wrecked wing stopped st that min ute. The third blaat came In Ke hoe's automobile In front of the ?chool about 30 second* later. Kehoe wa/ sitting In the car. ' Emory E. Huyck, superintendent! of schools, was talking with him, one foot on the running board. Olenn O. Smith, village postmas ter, and Nelson McKarren, an 1 aged man, were standing on the aldewalk a few feet away. Sudden-. ly a terrific blaat came from the machine. The bodies of Kehoe, and Huyck were blown to bits. Mc Farren was killed outright and Smith so badly Injured he died In a hospital shortly afterward. Kehoe's car was torn to pieces. The rear wheels and differential were hurled acroaa the road. Seize Ammunition On Mexican Border Tuna. Arlt., May 1?.? ^AP> ?
