Thousands gathered: outside the jail. Landru appeared in i dark trousers with a white short, his head shaved and his beard trimmed. He walked five steps toward the guil- n lotine without faltering when the ex- p ecutioner's assistant caught him p around the waist, levelled him to the p table which immediately suspended a ^ heavily weighed triangular knife and v slid down and the affair was over in i n 20 seconds. The cavalry saluted as| g Landru met his death. He refused the! sacrament but did not confess. ' g Htnri Desire T.andrti. t.Vie "Rlne. i t_ beard of Gambais", was arrested on t( April 4, 1919, on 11 counts of murder o1 growing out of the disappearance of a boy and 10 women to whom he had 0j promised marriage. The charmer s( of 283 women of all ages from 20 to Sj 60, many of them foolish,and wealthy n, widows, was born in Paris in 1869. He was a mechanical engineer and had been yrell educated. p, Landru had previously engaged the attention of the police through his ]e swindling operations for which he was sentenced to prison for a term of four p( years. He was married and had two Gf grown children. He was a dark-vis- p] aged man with shining bald head and Uf long, black whiskers and during the OJ progress of his trial for murder, which UI began- Nov. 7, 1921, before the Versailled Assizes and ended the following.Nov. 30, he participated dramati- (j( cally in his own defense. The backbom of his defense was pj that there war in absolute lack of fa proof that the "missing" women were m dead. The legal accusations against gj hirtT were comprised in 60,000 pages of evidence which required three hours w to read in court. About 125 witnesses V8 appeared for the prosecution and de- je, fertfce. A large quantity of charred sa t bones and ashes, alleged to be the ref mains of Landru's victims, was brought to Versailles in five sealed w] ' cases aa well as many of the personal k;-.- ^longings found in the little villa r' Gambais where the modern Bluehis flauews to death. - Wi Landru's motive in committing the IU murders was the sordid one of robbing gj the women of their meager savings. The police proved that he rented the cottage at Gambais, a few milep from j.( Paris, advertised in variousmatri- ta monial papers and enticed his victims tj, to the villa where all trace of them ar was lost. c0 After his arrest, the house was ae ransacked and practically demolished rc by the police in an effort to find the ^ remains of the missing women. A few bones were unearthed as well as U some hair but not enough to form a corpus delicti. The Bluebeard, according to the police, killed his victime and incinerated the bodies in a cook stove. ^ Issue Between States Washington, Feb. 23.?The long E: standing dispute between North and South Carolina as to whiqji state pro-] duc^d Andrew Jackson was debated: in tne house today but there was no | c " decision. . j . A photostat copy of a letter by j gt Jackson saying he was bom in South 1 Carolina was presented by Represen-i tj, tative Stevenson of that state because 1 q there had been "engrafted into the permanent volume of The Congres-! sional Record,the myth that Jackson was born in North Carolina. j\ Representative Hammer of North ! Carolina, standing up for his own ^ -state, insisted the records accepted I p as authentic showed beyond question ! that North Carolina was entiled to' the honor. ! As the discussion became heated jo Representative Byrnes of Tennessee broke in. q "While there may be doubt as to where Jackson was born,'r he declared, "there is no doubt as to where he moved, once he reached his majority. He went to the Volunteer state of Tennesse, there to live and die." During the friendly wrangling 111 members wanted to know exactly 111 what it was th^t the governor of ?* North Carolina had said to the governor of South Carolina on a certain " historic occasion, antedating the Volstead law. Mr. Stevenson swept away all doubt on this point by declaring that he actually said: * n "It's a devil of a long time between cl annas. s< . ' ni 'Mr. and Mrs. S.

Residents of Sunny Point, north of Milwaukee have asked that national guardsunen be sent to dynamite an ice gorge in the Milwaukee river which has food ed farms and summer estates. Railroad men report that washouts, fallen trees, huge blocks of ice, snow drifts 20 feet deep and a jumbled mass of telegraph poles and tangled wires are the chief difficulties in the way of restored transportation. The storm started with heavy rains early this week. Freezing temperalure encrusted telephone wires with ice, in many places an inch thick.

I -The State. Drive for Funds to Save Homeless Orphans The following circular letter is sent J to all cities in South Carolina and is J self-explanatory: Charleston, S. C., Feb. 25, 1922. Never in the history o| suffering humanity has such a heart-iending cry reached our ears, as that of the unfortunate Jewish victims. The unspeakable horrors and pntold crimes perpetrated against them in Russia, Poland, Hungary and other European lands make one's hair stand on end. More than a million men, women and children have been donejjp death in plagues of Egypt were multiplied ten fold, they would not begin to measure the misfortunes that have overwhelmed them. ' * To save alive those who have not yet perished from hunger, exposure: and disease, and to take care of the hundreds of thousands of the helpless | and homeless orphans, it is necessary to raise a minimum of fourteen mil-' lion dollars ($14,000,000). The Jews of America are doing the utmost to j come to the rescue of their unfortu-1 r?ate co-religionists across the Atlantic. But the need is so great, that they find themselves compelled to appeal to those who are not of their faith. May we, therefore, ask you to! appeal from your pulpit to the charitable and generous of your congrognlion, to join us in this act of humanity, j and help us save men, women and children from perishing? Will you not ask them to come forward with their bounty and send us in their con-j tribution, before it be too late? Thanking you for your kindness am'' in the name of Him, who as a father' pitieth his children, we are, Very respectfully, (Signed) Rabbi J. S. Raisin, Char-: leston; Rabbi F. K.

The subcommittee reported to tho entire majority membership of the committee later in the day but a decision was deferred, adjournment being taken until next Tuesday so as to give committeemen not members of the subcommittee * time to study the whole matter. Some of those professing to have sounded sentiment among the majority members were of the opinion that unless there were unforseen developments between now and Tuesday the action of the subcommittee probably would be taliiied. Aside from the ballots on the sales tax and a bill without a revenue provision there were said to have been several other votes in the subcommittee. It was learned that a motion to report a bill carrying < .ly an insurant e provision was defeated, d to 2. Both proponents and opponents of a sales tax npjfeared to be surprised by the vote on that proposition. Both sides had been claiming a victory with each seemingly expecting a fairly close vote. Four members of the subcommittee were reported to have favored a further postponement of bonus legislation in the belief that in time the problem of linanee would solve it self. Postponement is opposed, how" ever, by a big majority of the committee and also by many ine\ bora of the house. Chairman Fordtuy r?: 4 Utit n lkill ii'AliM K ' v lU'lUit'U mat X uwiiuo uiu nuvi.u wu passed at this session and other com mitteenien expressed the same view. Some supporters of a sales tax expressed the view today that President *j Harding might again take a hand in Vy the bonus controversy. U became known that Represent*tives Frear and Dickinson of Iowa itnd Woodruff of Michigan called on Chairman Fordney yesterday and laid before him the whole situation placing emphasis on its political aspects. They were understood to have contended that a sales tax would cause general dissatisfaction throughout the country, would make the soldiers' bonus extremely unpopular with the people and might result in political upheavals in many normally solid Republican districts. Those favoring the passage of a bonus bill without any provision for raising the revenue said such legislation could he followed by another bill giving the secretary of the treas ...... fmn UI\ (liUIIUI U) IW USV JHV/VWUO M w??. the refunded foreign bonds in paying the bonus. Special machinery for paying the bonus will have to be set up in the war department, it was said, with a large staff of clerks necessan to examine the records of the service men. to determine the exact amount that each is to. receive. Some doubt was expressed today that the cash payments could he started on N \t (k toher 1. the dale fixed in tie bonu hi!! as amended.
