Flying Atlantic.
New York, July 29. — Frequent
sightings of planes streaking across
the southern tip of Newfoundland In
an easterly direction heightened the
belief that four Europe bound air
men were out over the Atlantic last
night. The last sighting was late in
the day at Bay Roberts near Cape
Race, on the extreme eastern coast
of New Foundland. Earlier planes
were observed to the west near Tre
passey, Ratnea and Cape St. Mary’s.
In each instance the plane sighted
was flying too high and too fast for
definite identification. Two planes
were pointed over the Atlantic
One, with Russell Boardman and
John Polando, was bound for Istan
bul, Turkey, seeking a new distance
mark. Another carried Hugh Hern
don, Jr., and Clyde Panghorn toward
Moscow on the first leg of a globe
rtrdling voyage which they hope will
better the performance of Wiley
Post and Harold Gatty.

As it is now, according to infor

The split was first noticeable soon
after the last campaign. Veteran
Republicans expressed their dislike

in the county. Some of the shots
were taken at Chairman Cox who
had not lived here all of his life.

Y. L. McCardweli
Bank Charge Nol
Prossed Tuesday;
Chaff ex Against Mooresboro Bank
er Marked Off Court
Record.
Several charges against V. L.
McCardweli, cashier of a Moor
esboro bank which 'closed in
April, 1930, were nol pressed In
superior court here yesterday.
Residents of the Mooresboro sec
tion preferred the charges, center
ing about false entry In an alleged
shifting of funds, last year, but the
case had never been reached on the
court docket.
Request Nel Pros.
Since the indictment was made,
Solicitor L. S. Spurling stated to
day, he has been visited by the men
who first brought the charges and
has had letters from directors of
the defunct bank all setting forth
the view that McCardweli was not
guilty of any intentional wrongdo
ing. The men first bringing the
charges termed their action “a bit
premature,” the solicitor said.
The Mooresboro bank closed about
the time a number of banks were
going under In the surrounding sec
tion, but later investigation, it is
said, revealed that the bank had
been struggling to exist before the
crash period and that no act of Mc
Cardweli was thought responsible
for the closing.
Restitution.
Unofficially it is said tliat restitu
tion was made by McCardweli,
through relatives or friends, to make
good certain personal obligations he
had taken upon himself with the
hope, it is contended, of keeping the
bank going. No mention of restitu
tion, however, is made in the court
records where the charges were nol
prossed.
‘‘The restitution angle, if there
was any, did not come before me,”
the solicitor said today. ‘‘But the
bank directors assured me, as did
the liquidating agent, who had the
bank records audited, that there was
no evidence of wrong on the part of
McCardweli.”
General opinion is that in the ex
citement of the bank closing it was
prematurely believed that McCard
well might have been attempting to
make a personal gain instead of
working together to hold the bank
together as It was said to be re
vealed later.
Bank There Now.
A branch is now being operated at
Mooresboro by the Union Trust
Company of Shelby and is said to
be doing good business as are all sub
institution of the strong trust com
pany.

Phillips Case
Baffles Probe
Of High Court
No Indictment Given
Grand Jury
Solicitor Spurling “Not Satisfied
But Enough Evidence Not
Found.
It may never be definitely
known Just how Thomas J. Phll
lipo, prominent Lenoir automo
bile dealer and former North
Wllkesboro mayor, came to his
death Monday week ago near
Kings Mountain.
A second investigation Into
the death, this time headed by
Solicitor Spurgeon Spurling of
Superior court, failed to bring
out enough evidence to justify
court action or to materially
weaken the suicide theory.
Philips, it will be remembered
since it Is the major topic of con
versation hereabouts, was shot to
death early In the evening Monday
week ago while out riding with Mrs.
Charlotte Yount, well known New
ton widow who has been living for
some time with her father, a tex
tile mill owner, at Kings Mountain
Mrs, Yount, when she called for
help to bring the wounded married
man to the Shelby hospital where
he died a few hours later, stated
that Phillips had asked her to get
out of the oar and look for a flat
tire. While she was out a gun fired
and she rushed to the door to find
Phillips shot through the head. They
had been out drinking and siding
together during the afternoon and
he had seemed despondent she said.
Mrs, Yount's suicide version was
supported by the testimony of
Billy Neisler, aged six, before the
coroner’s Jury and in Solicitor Spur
ling’s investigation. Billy said he
saw the man waiving a gun about
his head while the car, in which
Phillips and Mrs. Yount were rid
ing, was parked in the road in front
of his home where the shooting
occufed.
There were certain angles about
the shooting which aroused suspicion
and a coroner’s jury, headed by
Coronor Roscoe Luts, refused to
term it a suicide, their veridict say
ing that Phillips came to his death
"by unknown hands.”
Sparling Probe.
When Solicitor Spurling came
here to prosecute the criminal doc
ket in Superior court this week he
began an investigation of the mat
ter. First of all, ho checked over
the report of the coroner's Jury and
the evidence submitted there. Then,
accompanied by Sheriff Irvin Allen!
Police Chief George Allen, of Kings
Mountain, and newspapermen, he
drove to Kings Mountain and per
sonally questioned several witnesses
and investigated the spot where the
shooting occurred.
The solicitor apparently was of
the opinion that much depended
upon the testimony of young Billy
Neisler and the distance the gun
was found from the car. He talked
for quite a time with the little boy.
walked with him about the yard and
had the little fellow point out Just"
where the automobile was standing
The little fellow was positive that
he saw a "man waving a gun over
his head” In the car. He did net
see any woman, however, he said.
A little negro, who was playing
with the Neisler boy, said he did see
a woman. Billy was in the driveway
entrance at the road when he saw
the gun waving. He thought the
man might shoot him, he said, and
he started running to the house,
quite a distance from the road. It
was while running up the driveway!
that he turned and saw the shooting

City Tax Rate Likely
To Be Cut Five Cents
Mayor McMurry Believe* New Rate Will Be
Around $1.20. To Fix Rate At Budget
Meeting Tuesday Night.
A tax cut of 5c on the $100 property valuation is in pros
pect for Shelby, according to Mayor S. A. McMurry. “We
have been figuring every possible way to make a ten cent
cut in the rate, but have found no way out without cramping
the city treasury too much,” said Mayor McMurry this morn
I
! The present rate Is $1.25 on the
$100 property valuation. Two years
ago the rate was *1.50 but was re
duced last year to $1.25. One of
the reasons a ten cent cut cannot
be made this year is that there is
a shrinkage of about *600.000 In the
assessed value of real and personal
property m the city. This is an
estimate, as the final total has not
been arrived at. Mr. Oscar M. But
tle who has been listing property
for the city has been engaged for
several weeks at the task of making
the tax abstracts, checking up the
returns and finding the totals! The
shrinkage in values is mostly in
personal property, as there was no
revaluation this year of real estate,
so that it stands on the books the
same as last year.
It Is expected that the total valu
ation of real and personal property
in Shelby will be around *9,000,000.
The exact value, however, will be
known the last of this week
Richards and Webbs, representing
the audit firm of Scott and Co.

People Flee Out Of Heat-Baked Imperial Valley
To Escape Prolonged Heat Wave That Killed 63
Los Angeles, July 29.—Resi
dents (led yesterday from the
heat-stricken Imperial Valley
and Ariaona points as the toll
from the southwest most pro
longed heat wave In years
mounted to 63 deaths.
Along the roads at the base
of majestic San Gorgonio Moun
tain, which lifts its snow capped
peak slightly more than two
miles above the weltering great
American desert, hundreds of
automobiles moved to the cooler
coastal areas and mountain re
sorts so their occupants might
find relief.
Forty of the heat deaths oc
curred in Imperial valley, which
is noted for the richness of Its
soil and for the greater part,
lies below sea level. The popula
tion had been reduced to those
who of necessity must remain
in the heat-ridden area.
The exodus continued despite
hope the heat wave was near
ing its end. During the night,
torrential rains visited the moun
tain areas of Southern Califor
nia. The weather, as If by irony,
left San Gorgonio mountain us
ually is barren at this time of
the year.
In addition to the 40 deaths
in Imperial valley, where a 25
day average has been 108 de
grees. other points reporting the
following deaths: Phoenix, Aril.,
fourteen; Needles, Calif., six;
Taft, Calif., two, and Las Vegas,
Nevada, one.
Needles reported a temperature
of 120 degrees Thursday, and it
had been but a few degrees less
than that In the days follow
ing. Taft, located in the San
Joaquin valley, yesterday report
ed a temperature of 118 de
grees.
l/os Angeles Swelters.
Los Angeles, with a reputation
for being a summer resort,
sweltered under a 92-degree
heat. The weather sent thou
sands to the beaches for ques
tionable relief. The water itself
showed a temperature of 74 de
grees.
A group of fishermen off Los
Angeles harbor captured a 1.800
pound sea bat, whose habitat is
usually in tropical waters.
The Rocky Mountain and
Plains states to the east con
tinued in the grip of a heat
wave. One death, the fourth of
the year, was rerorded in Utah.
Montana and Wyoming were
f promised cooler weather. Scat
tered thunderstorms appeared as
the only forms of relief else
where.
