J. Wilkinson, of Huntington. in the house Wednesday afternoon asking Governor Conley to amend his call for the special legislative session to include the abolition and combining of state bureaus, the consideration of incomes and indirect taxation for schools, and consideration of the repeal of the primary law.

A second resolution introduced by him asked for an investigation into the expenses of the fire marshal's department The two houses of legislature convened at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, prepared to receive fium Governor Conlev the bills which, during the delivery of his message on Tuesday afternoon, he said were being drawn up to embody the relief measures contemplated bv the state administration. There was much curiosity amonc Ihe legislators Wednesday morning concerning what the governor's bills might contain in regard to raising additional revenue, which he said should be done in order to take care of the $2.500,000 deficit and to provide $500.000 for unemployment. There was talk In legislative circles Wednesday that In order to take care of the deficit the state might find It possible to borrow funds from the Reconstruction Finance corporation, in the event the corporation's capital is Increased by the bill now pending before the national house of representatives. Could Burrow Funds Under the provisions of the bill which already has been passed, states may borrow funds just as loans are made to banks, railroads and other enterprises. The proposal to negotiate such a loan did not come from official sources, but was reported among legislators.

It was said that if the federal bill is passed efforts might be made to have thin state borrow. The question of whether the state could legally make such a debt also being discussed. It is understood that the state owes $1.300.000 to $2,000,000 to New York banks, borrowed by Governor Conley. Attorney Oeneral Howard B. Lee raid Wednesday that he had no knowledge that any one expected tha the state might borrow from the federal corporation.

He said, however that the governor has the power under the constitution to borrow money tor the state. Keep Own Plans In Background Because the governor made It known that he in having the bills prepared, the legislators on Tuesday took no steps of their own toward formulating plans lor passing reliel measures. Instead. It was decided among them that they would wait until they had had an opportunity to study the governor's bills before introducing any measures. For this reason the caucus of house Democrats which had been planned for Tuesday night was called off.

The caucus probably will be held Wednesday afternoon or Wednesday night and at the meeting the Democrats will study and discuss the governor's bills and decide what course they will take in regard to them. Governor Conley appeared before the Joint meeting of the hou.sc and senate in the house chamber at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The cham ner was crowded to the doors and the galleries were filled with spectators. Delegates remained in their permanent scats, while the senators occupied chairs which had been placed for them in a semi-circle in front of the rostrum. The occasion represented the first joint session of the legislature in the new capital.

Floor Is Cleared Governor Conley entered the house chamber through the wide oaken door to the left of the rostrum. As he entered the entire assembly rose to Us feet and applauded. He was greeted by Speaker Taylor who introduced him. Governor Conley began at once ti read his message. He consumed about 30 minutes nf time and then left the chamber through the rear door.

COUNTY'S FLOOD DAMAGE $200,000 Court Begins Session to Plan Repairs to Roudh and Bridges With damage lo their roads bridges and property placed officially at at least one quarter of a million dollars by hard rains and floods since the Fourth of July, the governments of the county and the city turned Wednesday to their problems of re construction. Their problems were especially dlf ficult coming at a time when both thi county court and the city governmen were casting about for ways and means of reducing their expenditures For the coming fiscal year. In addition, the county faced another big problem and expense In providing re lief for the hundreds of persons madi lomeless by the flood Monday on Paint and Armstrong creeks. The county's problem loomed as the more serious of the two, with the official estimate of County Engineer E.

Neil Blackwood on Wednesday tha damage to roads and bridges by higl water since the first of the month wil be not less than $200,000. The county court was in session Wednesday to receive his plans, which are partlallj already completed, for the reconstruc tion of bridges and the repair of roads, Paint creek, hardest hit of all sec tions, suffered the loss of bridges a Gallagher. Whittaker. Standard and Burnwcll. One at Gallagher was badly damaged, and others at other points along the creek suffered varying ae- grces of damage.

Rains Caused First Damage All along Cabin creek also there was heavy damage to bridges, the most severe loss being at Dry Branch where the bridge was carried out. A new box culvert, of steel and concrete, also was lost on Cabin creek. Roads In every section of the county were severely damaged first by the general rains which began on July 4 and again by the torrential downpour over the Paint creek section last Sunday night. Slides along the Paint creek road had blocked travel at a dozen different points, and an emergency county road crew of 150 men was at work Monday and Tuesday opening up the thoroughfare. Mr.

Blackwood said that the regular road crew had Inaugurated day and night shifts in the section Tuesday night. A steam shovel is aiding the work. The city's problem is the result of the Fourth of July flood on Elk river which carried out at least 25 fee' of the right bank of the Elk just north of the Virginia street bridge Since then, the river has gnawed continuously at the crumbling river bank and a house, a garage, part of a signboard and part of Columbia avenue have toppled into the river. The streel from Virginia street several hundred )ards north has been closed because of tlic danger nf further slides. Would Cost 450,000 City Engineer H.

L. Campbell, who has begun a survey of the damage to the river bank, said Wednesday that to repair the bank over the entire affected area from the Lovell street bridge south to the river's mouth would cost at least $50.000.

Of Ihe five, four Including Parsons' )ouiig wife, Li'olii, lire under prison sentences and the fiftli defendant is under five years' probation. The last two to face Intermediate Judge Henry Dlack on the chmges of conspiracy were Ernest Fnlden, already a state prison convict, nnd Ross Liptok. Hnth were airmailed lute Tuesday. Kutct ing pleas of guilty, Folclen received a two-year prison sentence, lo run concurrently with two-year sentence he now IN serving, and Liptok was placed under five yeurs probation.

The two-yeat sentence Folden already was serving was for his conviction of larceny In Faycttc county. Despite the fact that Parsons refused to ptnseeute his wife and sat at her Mile dmmt: her trial, aiding her at evciy turn In her defense, a Jury lequircd only 15 minutes to find her guilty of Ihe charge and she received the heaviest sentence--three years im- any of Ihe five. She i appeal the eonvietinn. and was at liberty under $3,000 I bond. Also convicted was Edgar C.

(Blacklc) Belcher, who was charged with conceiving the plot. He was sentenced to serve two years and six months. L. C. Swift, who was to carried out the attack on Parsons, pleaded guilty one week ago to the charge of conspiracy and was sentenced tn serve two years.

According to a confession of Mr.s. Parsons made lo state police several months ago. Belcher suggested the while he was serving a Jail term in Fayettr county and named Swift, then a fellow prisoner, as the man who would do the killing. Mrs. Parsons related in her confession several subsequent meetings with Belcher Hint Swift In which the plot was discussed and told of giving money to Swift to buy a gun.

One attempt to attack Parsons was made in his garage but he was not injured. He was not molested again.

The exact toll may never be known, according to Captain Harry Cooper of state police, who was one of the first to penetrate' to the head waters of Paint creek immediately after the raging torrent had swept through the narrow valley. This view was shared by other relief workers.

"Families who lost everything they had in the flood waters have moved awnv from the creek to other localities." he said. "Perhaps members of their families have been drowned but those have not been reported to anybody because there was no to report them to. We will begin our check as goon as possible at the headwaters, by talking to someone in authority at each one ol the camps." Red Cross officials planned to question each or.e of the hundreds of Paint creek refugees as they came Into the relief headquarters which have been opened in the bandoned store of the Paint Creek Colliery company at The relief workers at that point distributed food, clothing, cots and blankets to the sufferers. Relief Work Fracrenei Boyri B. Stutler, chairman of the Charleston Red Cross chapter, said the end of the emergency was to be foreseen early next week.

By that time inhabitants of the flooded valleys are expected to be back in their homes on a normal status of living. "Our work will probably be done then, when the emergency conditions end, and it will be the work of other welfare agencies to take up where we left off." he said. Through facilities provided by the Red Cross. In cooperation with other welfare societies, 2,500 inhabitants of the creek valleys were fed Tuesday. Two trucks loaded with food and clothing left the Charleston headquarters Wednesday morning with three days rations for the members of the hard-hit villages.

Food supplies sent out previously, believed to be enough to last for five days, were almost exhausted, Mr. Stutler reported, by the additional calls for aid the original estimate of 800 needy. Gifts of clothing and supplies flowed stc.idlly into the Charleston Red Cross headquarters. So great was the response to the calls for aid of the organization that unused rooms in the upper floors of the library building had to be put into service to hold them until they could be transported to the flooded communities. Mercantile establishments a wholesale gifts of shoes and and these were supplemented by the contributions of hundreds of individuals.

Many people gave their contributions in money. Many Dry Oat Clothlnr The waters which had receded almost to normal Wednesday enabled residents of the community to salvage much clothing and bedding from the creek banks, thejThad been washed. These were being dried and would be in use by Wednesday night, Mr. Stutler believed. He saw no necessity for the further provision of bedding supplies.

Three hundred cats and blankets have been provided by national guard units of Charleston. The relief work was being made easier as the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone company established communication between the towns. An emergency telephone line was completed to Gallagher and the company expected to have another in to Burn- wcll, further up the creek, before ilghtfall. All messages from the localities have had to be relayed to leadquarters at Hansford by runners, who were volunteers from the American Legion posts. Lieutenant A.
