WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. — Most
congressmen thought when the last
session adjourned, it had been the
most talkative in history, what with
the war, taxes, the draft and the boys
in the trenches to make speeches
about. With the last postponed num
ber of the Congressional Record con
taining canned “extension of speech
es," it has been found that the volume
is 300 pages shy of the previous high
mark.
Representative Joseph Walsh. Mas
sachusetts, is largely responsible.
Early in the session he began object
ing to what he termed “abuses of the
extension system.” Amateur poems,
essays on the war by precocious
Johnny, just twelve, years old. and Her
son of an important constituent., nbitu
aries in verse and others were taboo.
One objection will kill any proposal
to “extend." Walsh says a lot of the
boys get pretty "sore” at him.

DEATH CHAIR
(By United Press!
CONCORD, N. C„ Oct. 51. — The
second step toward the deatn chair or
freedom of Gaston Bullock Means,
began here yesterday. The Cabarrus
county grand jury will decide — pro
bably, before night — whether a for
mer trial “should” be ordered on evi
dence tending to show he murdered
rich Mrs. Maude King, his benefact
ress here August 29.
It was six days to a day after the
globe trotting Chicago woman’s mys
terious death, that her protege and
confidant. Means, faced indictment on
the deed. Fourteen of the eighteen
'jurors must affirm the indictment. In
that event, a date will at once bo set
. for formal trial in the superior court
here.
Demand of the state for either a
change of venue to an adjoining coun
, ty of the district, or for a venire of
jurymen from an adjacent county, was
considered in event of an indictment.
Local sentiment here, where the
Means family has resided for many
years, it is felt, cannot altogether be
relied upon.
