Lethal Gas Deaths
Are To Take Place
Os Electrocutions
Raleigh, May 11. —(AP) —ln the re
latively near future North Carolina
will junk its present instrument of
death, the electric chair,
and substitute lethal gas as a mode of
capital punishment.
The change waso rdered by the
1935 legislature but just when it will
become effective is uncertain. The
new law provides that men now un
der death sentence or who may be
pclaed under such sentence before
July 1 this year shall fbe electrocut.
ed in the chair that has claimed 150
lives since its installation in 1910.
The first execution by gas will come
sometime after July 1.
There are now 25 men awaiting
execution on “death row” at the Cen
tral Prison here. Some of them may
receive new trials or be granted com
mutations but others are likely to ar
rive there before July 1.
A Republican epresentative, Dr.
Charles Augustus Peterson, of Mit>
chell county, is the author of the
lethal gas bill. At first even he had
little hope of its passage into law.
Then came the legislative inves
tigation of prison conditions and the
eyes of the State were directed at the
penal system. The Peterson bill was
brought out of committee and passed
both House and Senate with scarcely
a ripple of dissent.
Since men often remain on “death
row” for a year or more awaiting su
preme court action on appeals or exe
cutive clemency decisions, it is en
tirely possible that the State may on
the same day electrocute a man sen
tenced -before July 1, and take the
life of another sentenced after July
1 hy the administration of lethal gas.
Cyanide gas, the most deadly known
is used in the gas executions. The
prisoner is'strapped in a chair in the
center of the air-tight chamber and
cyanide eggs dropped in a. sulphuric
acid solution in a jaf suspended above
him.
The gas falls and one deep breath
of it is sufficient to cause death. The
gas is said by scientists to be ordor
less and its action so swift that the
prisoner suffers not at all and does
not realize when the gas takes es.
feet.
The method of execution is now
used in Nevada, where it originated,
and Arizona and Colorado, but North
Carolina will be the first state east of
the Mississippi river to install - the
system. The gas chamber is equipped
with a window through which officials
and witnesses observe the execution.
With gas, a triple execution would
require no longer time than a single
execution if all thep risoners were
placed in the cell at once.
Dr. Peterson and other sponsors of
his act said that gas executions eli
minate much of the gruesome sea-

DEMOCRATS FEAR
BUSINESS DECLINE
Unbiased Say, However, F.
D. R. Would Be Re-Elect
ed Next Year Anyhow.
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer
Washington, May 10.—When a Re
publican politician asserts that PresiL
dent Roosevelt’s popularity has de
clined mightily in recent months one’s
inclination is to discount his asser
tion considerably. Republicans natur
ally like to think that it has; want
to give the impression that they think
so, anyway. From their standpoint it
is sound psychology.
When, however, pro-administration
Democrats admit that the White
House tenant’s popularity has w ned
somewhat one’s inclination is to add
a dozen or 15 per cent onto the sum
total of their admissions.
In strict confidence they very gen
erally do admit it.
GOOD TIMES WILL AID F. D. R.
But let times pick up appreciably
and the President speedily will be
again as popular as ever —or more so.
Even Republicans agree that this
will be the case if business continues
to improve as it has been improving
in spots lately, and if the spots spread
and coalesce, and if enough folk feel
the* improvement.
In such an event it is the consensus
among politicians of both partisan,
complexions that “F. D.' will make
as clean a sweep in 1936 as he made
in 1932, that Aunty Democracy will
make a cleaner congressional sweep
than she made in 1934 and that “F.
D.’s” authority win be almost unlimit
ed for the ensuing four years—as
suming, of course, that times stay
good.
SUPPOSE TIMES REMAIN FLAT?
On the opposite hand?
Suppose that times remain flat.
There are signs of improvement just
now, but suppose they turn out dis
appointingly, as has occurred before
during the depression?
Republicans are grimly complacent
over this possibility.
Democrats worry over it.
Republicans say it would mean a
G. O. P. victory in 1936. ,
Democrats doubt it. It is their judg
ment (their honest judgment, in my
opinion and probably, I think, a cor
rect one) that “F. D.” will be re
elected anyway.
But by a badly shruken majority—
with seriously damaged prestige —per.
haps with an openly hostile Congress.
The present Congress is none too
amenable to him, despite its nominal
alignment with the administration.

ROMANCE VyHqV
REAR TTTTR FIRST!
After bidding goodby in a huff to
his childhood sweetheart, .Janice Ed
ding, who is sailing for the United
States where her father, Captain Ed
ding, has been assigned to Puget
Sound Kavy Yard, carefree Lieuten
ant Valentine Preston, attached to a
gunboat in China, sees an attractive
girl in « passing ricksha on the
streets of Shanghai. He recognises
her as the same girl who had de
layed his visit to Janicws liner m the
harbor by taking the last sampan in
sight from the pier. Following in
another ricksha, both alight at the
same hotel, j liey become engaged
in conversation, have a cocktail to
gether and Val learns she is from
South Carolina. Later he excuses
himself and goes to the bar alone.
Finding the girl still in the cocktail
lounge alone, Val joins Iter again
and discovers her name is Lia
Oarenne. She says she is lonely and
they agree to take dinner together
later. As he dresses Val is irked by
the thought that Kent Towniey, an
other naval lieutenant, whom he dis
likes, is sailing on the same liner
with Janice. Meeting Lia, dressed
for ihe evening, in the lobby, he is
impressed with her loveliness.
[HOW OO OK WITH THE STORY)
CHAPTER 10
LIA AND Val motored out to the
Little Club where, from the moment
they became part of the attractive
company who dined beneath the
black silhouettes of the frieze and
beside the polished dance floor, Val

evening, he ordered It. When the
orchestra played he thrilled to the
music’s joyous abandon; from strings
and alto saxophones came sensuous
airs of golden, orange-scented Spain,
the pulsing of mysterious India, the
gay loveliness of Viennese waltzes.
He was an extremely good dancer
and he liked drifting into improvised

As the evening progressed he stud
ied the girl with increasing interest.
She was a lovely thing with a mouth
like a ripe, red cherry, her teeth were
small and white, and when she smiled
her soft little nose pulled down at the
tip the tiniest bit so that her face
flattened and became oddly remin
iscent of the pretty I.evantine women
he had seen on the Mediterranean.
She made him think of porcelain
figurines and tinkly silver bells and
jasmin flowers; and yet her eyes,
dark and lustrous and tilted upward
ftt the outer edges, belied this esti
mate. When she laughed they
flashed with warm, chestnut lights;
but he had a feeling they might grow
sullen and sloe-black if she were
driven to ang*er.
Miss Garenne seemed delighted
With the music, her surroundings
and himself, so that, stimulated by
the admiration in her approving
glances, he sipped his champagne
sparingly and exerted himself be

been forever falling lightly in and
out of love again.
Now' he said to his guest, “Oh, the
navy Isn’t so bad. I’ve had a pretty
good time, I reckon.” He drank his
wine slowly, then put down his glass.
Regarding his lovely vis-a-vis it sud
denly occurred to him that although
they had been here for several hours
he—w'ho had resolved to plumb the
secrets of this little person’s past—
still knew only that she had recently
arrived here on her first visit to
China, and nothing else but the ob
vious about her. Indeed, he now
suspected he had been cleverly led
into talking about himself.
Gazing at her with speculative
eyes, he decided she must have
sensed his determination to probe a
bit wTien she asked abruptly, “Could
we —drive for a little whi(e, do you
think? There is a moon, you know.”
She fluttered small, honey-golden
hands, “I should love to ride in the
moonlight.”
“Why not, beautiful?” he mur
mured, his eyes dancing.
Nothing, he inwardly exulted as he
signed the chit (Chinese due-bill) and
tenderly wrapped Miss Garenne in her
crimson velvet cloak, would give him
greater pleasure than to go driving
in the moonlight with this little satin
smooth darling! His heart was beat
ing significantly faster. He told him
self, “She’s sw'eet. I believe I’m
crazy about this cute thing. Who
and what the devil is she? When is
she going to spill the beans?”
Coming out into the night from the
w’arm scented atmosphere of the Lit
tle Club, they stood with the music
throbbing behind them and gazed up
at the round silver disk of the moon.
After a moment they descended the
steps and Val, selecting an open car,
directed the driver to go through
Jessfield park to a point where there
was a vista of widespread plain and
distant, sleeping villages.
They rode in silence through the
quiet night. Arrived at Val’s chosen
spot, they sat smoking their cigarets,
speaking only a hushed word or two,
and gazing out over the moon
painted scene that stretched before
them. Presently the driver got down
from his seat and wandered away be
neath the trees. A stillness that grew
tense and unbearable fell ftpon the
two in the car.
Well versed in such psychological
moments. Val tqpk a final drag on
his cigaret then tossed it away. For
a space he stared dow'n appraisingly
at the little creature nestling in the
folds of her velvet wrap. “A moon!
A lovely lady! Darling’,” he mur
mured in his deepest, most beguiling
tone, “I am very much afraid I shall
have to do something about all this.”
Then quite gently but firmly he
gathered her up in his arms and
kissed her.
No tiresome coquetry? Good!
Ah-h, soft little kitten held close in
his arms, delightful and lovely
against his heart. He breathed deep

like golden honey
A sudden awareness, a sense of
something amiss roused him like an
icy sliver of penetrating light. Mo
tionless, his mind keenly alert now,
he felt the heavy throbbing of hip
heart. Come to, fellah! This girl.
She had yielded herself into the
curve embrace. Sure. But his ca
resses—she had tolerated them—
apathetically—like a damned wax
dummy! Why say, this kid might
as w r ell have been a million miles
away. Shaken by a humiliated frus
tration, he raged inwardly. She had
made a monkey of him. What if her
mouth were red and seft? It was
cold, inexperienced, savorless
With an abrupt motion he drew
away and tipped her chin upw;ard po
that the rays of revealing moonlight
shone on her face. He saw wide,
startled eyes. Etched brow.s raised
in questioning curves. An expres
sion of blank wonderment. The little
fool! Oh, but wouldn’t he enjoy giv
ing- her a damned good lesson!
“Look here, why did you ask me
to bring you here? For your amuse
ment?” he demanded. "All the eve
ning you have exerted yourself to
make me fall for you. Now, what’s
the answer?”
Her dismayed eyes stopped him.
“Have I done something to offend
you?” she asked anxiously. “Please

Realizing that she was genuinely
bewildered, he was ashamed of his
anger. “How old are you anyway ?”
he demanded.
“I’m—twenty-three.”
“No you’re not. Tell me the
truth.”
“Eight—eighteen ”
"Well, what the devil i s a babv like

exploded. *Why do you wear clothes

She admitted it. “I’ll explain if

UNIFORM GAME LAW
FOR STATE PASSED
Raleigh, May 11 (AP)— Setting up a
uniform game policy out of a patch
work of statutes, a "new deal” for
wildlife is promised under a new state
wide law enacted by the General As
sembly .
The measure, introduced by Senator
Carl L. Bailey of Washington, codified
the numerous local regulations, mak
ing unnecessary many of the wildlife
statutes that have been passd since
the game law was first enacted in 1927.
Game wardens, under the new bill,
will henceforth be known as “ game
protectors.” New appointees to these
positions must have a knowledge of
wildlife and of the statutes for pro
tecting game.
