of the murder
Winston-Salem, X. C, Aug. 9.
I-ibby Holman's whereabouts remain
ed a deep secret tonight, more than
24 hours after the former Broad
way singer made a brief court ap
pearance to surrender and make
bond on a charge of slaying her
young tobacco millionaire husband,
Smith Reynolds.
Her father, Alfred Holman of Cin
cinnati, looking haggard as a result
of strain, would not say where Libby
had gone, and her local attorneys!
asserted they did not know.
After resting several hours in the
seclusion of her hotel room, the
singer, wearing a natty sports cos
tume. instead of the heavy mourn
ing in which she went to court, slip
ped out of the hotel at 2 a. m., en
tered an automobile and sped swiftly
into the darkness.
Since then there has been no word
cf where she is.
Will Confer Soon.
Benet Polikoff, one of her attor
neys, said he did not know where
the singer had gone, but expected
to confer with her within a week or
10 days. She will advise him where'
to come, he said, when she feels
strong enough to discuss with him
her defense against the state's al
legation that she and Albert Walker,
young chum of her husband, were
responjiblq for the latter's death
from a pistol wound, July C, after
a corn whisky party at the family
estate.
No definite defense plans have
been made but Libby wants an early
trial, her attorney said.
Her first concern, he said, is the
protection of her unborn child; her

"She wants a trial before the
baby is born if physicians decide it
will not endanger the infant," Poll
kcff said. "She wants vindication as
soon as possible."
"Depends on Doctor."
Testimony given at the inquest
into Reynolds death indicated the
anticipated heir to part of the dead
youth's estimated 15 million dolla
interest in the R. J. Reynolds tobacfco
estate, is not expected for seveYal
months.
Asked if it was likely his client
would be prepared for trial at the
October 3 term of court here, the
next regular term, the attorney an
swered :
"We hopo so. It all depends upon
what the doctor says."
Holman left by train for Cincin
nati this afternoon. He refused
again to say anything about where
Libby had gone, or her plans.

Minneapolis, Aug. 8. Barter
monev is to reDlace United States
currency as a medium of exchange for
some 50 thousand unemployed per
sons organized here under a vast
creative self-help plan.
Seeking to aid those unemployed
who have not yet asked for direct
relief and who are trying to avoid
charity if possible, Dr. George Meck
lenburg, pastor of the Wesleyan
Methodist Episcopal church here, has
launched an enterprise known as
the Organized Unemployed, to be op
erated and directe by the idle them
selves for their own benefit.
This is the first effort to reach
this particular class of unemploy
ed," said Dr. Mecklenburg today
While there are some 40 agencies
operating here, none has given any
attention to the middle class unem
ployed 'white collar worker' and
professional man to whom direct re
lief would be a most undesirable last
resort.
"Working to help jobless within
His own church. Dr. Mecklenburg
found farmers who wer "willing to
exchange produce for work, home
owners wno would exchange wear-
ng apparel and household good3 for
minor repairs and odd Jobs.
Search for Odd Jobs.
Enlarging on this, farmers in
nearby townships are being solicit
ed for jobs in exchange for produce
and home owners throughout the city
are being canvassed for odd jobs.
Whatever woikers earn in this man
or is to be stored in vacant build-
donated rent free for the pur
pose.
Workers, themselves, however, are
o be paid in barter money provided
by Organized Unemployed, and the
scrip used by them to purchase food
and apparel from the storehouses.
The enterprise also includes re
pair shops to prepare clothing and
goods for use, and workrooms to pre
serve perishable "fruits and vege
tables.
Organized Unemployed aims in ad
dition to serve as the voice of the
group and to raise and sustain their
morale.
"The Heartache of Fear."
"We have found," said Dr. Meck
lenburg, "that this group suffers not
only from actual want but also the
heartache of fear of being forced to
become objects of charity.
"They must bo given something
definite to do, something to think
about and plan for other than their
individual problems. To this end the
organization has been planned to in
clude one hundred separate commit
tees comprising 3,700 persons.
"It is planned, too, as a sort of
big brother movement to aid the
small home and property owners.
One of our major efforts will be in
the direction of working up senti
ment against foreclosure of mort
gages on the homes of those who
have been paying for them over a
long period of years and now face
the prospect of losing them."
During the winter months unem
ployed musicians in the group will
give weekly concerts in theaters
which donated rent free. Movies and
other forms of recreation also will
be provided. World-Herald.

The early morning hours are pre

try over the city as the men and
women employed in the various in
dustries are hurrying to their labors
in the various plants.
From six o'clock to eight there
are to be seen large groups hurry
ing from their homes to where they
are engaged in some of the factories
or shops that constitute the indus
trial life of the city.
The canning factory has a large
number of women as well as men
working there and these form a large
part of the earlier workers that hurry
from all sections of the city to the
factory where right now there is the
rush of the corn pack.
The Nebraska Basket Factory also
has a large number engaged there at
the present time and these add to
the parade of the workers.
The BREX shop force gathering
for the start of work at 8 a. m. form
the largest group of the workers of
the city and largely represent the
beads of families who derive their
chief support from this, car building
and repairing industry.
