At the time of presentation of his opera he was thought to be on the road to recovery, but recently took & sudden turn for the worse from which he never rallied.

By the Associated Press. CONCORD, N. C., May 12.—The rid- dle of the ghastly slaying of two women and the apparent suicide of a large| landholder on whose plantaticn they | lived today confronted Cabarrus Coun- ty authorities. Last Saturday morning Robert L. Barrier, 45 years old, discovered the bodies of the women, Mrs, Crissis Starnes, 80 years old, and her daugh- ter Ada, 32 years old, cn the premises of a ant house they occupied o his farm. Both had been beaten on the head with a heavy, blunt instru- ment and the body of the younger woman hung by a 10pe from a Jjoist in a barn on the place. | Early yesterday, afior he had bor-| rowed & shctgun at the home of a| brother in the community, Barrier was found in a pyplic road nearby with the top of his head blown off. Au- thorities, after investigating, decided he had committed suicide. Early today they had disclosed noth- ing that would link the suicide with the slayings. Inquests into all three deaths were set for his afternzon. An investigation, started Saturday and given added impetus by the death of the plantation owner, was pressed | through last night in preparation for the inquests. The investigators indi- cated they were puzzled, but said they momentarily expected to uncover “startling evidence.” Carl Love, another of Barrier's ten- | ants, who with his landlord was at the | Starnes hcme late the day before the | bodies were found, was placed in the county jail and held incommunicado | as a material witness. LOWER RAIL RATES URGED BY FLETCHER Florida Democrat Holds Increase| Would Only Decrease Tonnage. Should freight rates be increased as ad- | vocated by 50 railroad executives a de- crease in_tonnage would be inevitable, Senator Fletcher, of Florida. ranking Democrat on the Senate Commerce Committee, declared yesterday. He called for lower rather than the | higher carrying charges and said one reason why trucks were moving so much freight today was because of “high rail rates.” “T cannot see how the railroads can expect to increase their revenues by in creasing rates,” he said. ‘“Some ten years ago an increase of 40 per cent | was allowed the railroads, and this| brought the rates up to the highest | point ever reached. They have been re- vised downward by the Interstate Com- merce Commission in 5,000 out of 6,000 cases brought. “Today the railroads complain of a loss of business and lay a good deal of that to competition by trucks and to | some extent airplanes. | “Undoubtedly they would increase their revenues by raising the rates provided they could carry the same amount of tonnage, but it is perfectly obvious that one reason why trucks are moving so much freight is because of the high rail rates. Consequently if these rates were increased there would be an inevi- table decrease in tonnage. A, India expects a bumper wheat crop | this season. Central— 7th and Mass.
