FINANCE MACHINE
Suggests Reserve Board Lib

Farmers, But Rejects Re-
quests of South.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 141-While
the specific legislation requested by
cotton men of the South, especially
of the Mississippi valley, was not all
embodied in the action OF the senate
late Monday when resolution was
adopted continuing the war finance
board, it is believed by Senator Nc
Kellar that relief will come to far
mers and cotton growers from the
senate resolution which now goes to
The resolution revives the war fl
nance board and embodies an ex-
preston of the senate that the rates
of interest charged by the federal re-
serve board on credits to farmers be
liberalized and small rate,-be put
into effect. Senator Mcclellan made
a fight for his amendment to make
cotton factors paper eligible for re-
discount and had the backing of the
senator's from all cotton producing
states, but senators from the strong
er financial centers opposed it.
A number, of letters from Memphis
and West Tennessee business men
were read into the record by Senator
McKellar in advocacy of relief. One
was from the Tennessee Cottonseed
Crushers' association who asked con-
gress among other things that the
secretary of the treasury restore the
War Finance corporation immedi-
ately and restore to that corporation
the assets it possessed previous to
its disbarment; that the shipping
board reduce all ocean freight rates
to conform to conditions now exist
ing and extend every possible help to
American exports; that the federal
reserve board be urged to reduce its
discount rates and extend credits in
the present emergency; that the de-
partment of commerce be directed to

to assist in marketing the surplus

EXTRA GUARD At
JAIL TO PREVENT
BANDITS ESCAPE
Sheriff Takes Precautions,
Following Granting of
Change of Venue to Coving-
ton, Held Here Until Trial.

Extra guards were placed at the
county Jail Tuesday by Sheriff Perry
following the return there Monday of
Aida +. Shaw, Mrs. Shaw and +. B.
Kelly, granted a change Of venue for
their trial for the death of Jailer
George Reeves. Two men with riot
guns patrol the corridor OF the jail
during the daylight hours. Three
men, similarly armed, keep guard al
night.
The trio Is held without bail, so
Sheriff Perry stressed Tuesday, and
no chance will be taken on another
attempt at Jail breaking.
The three will be tried at Coving-
ton, in Upton county. This was de-
cided on Monday afternoon in First
criminal court after Judge j. Ed
Richards had granted the plea for
TO contest the motion.
The courts action came as some
thing of surprise to Attorney A. b.
Galloway, representing Shaw; Abe
Cohn, counsel for Kelly, and j. b.
Webb, adviser of Mrs. Shaw. The
three lawyers had other motions pre-
pared to present to the court in
event the first was denied These
latter motions were for continuance
and severence. However, when do
cision was reached to transfer the
cases to Covington announcement
was made that other motions would

The three prisoners will be held at

The latter action will be decided by
Judge Baptist. 1t is quite likely
that the three win not face court
until next year, as the Sixteenth dis

Who's to Blame for Drop in Grain.

Some of the returning statesmen
to Washington are laying the blame
of the cheaper prices of grain and
produce to the gambling operation on
exchanges like the Chicago Board of
Trade, and they are threatening to
enact laws that will prevent "gamt-
ling in produce. Another scheme
is to resurrect the WaI Finance plan,
and to attempt extensive financing of
the agricultural interests. 1t seems
very likely that Congress will devise
some kind of methods to help the
farmers. but what these methods will
be no statesman has as yet been able
TO say.

CRILLER FOUND GUILTY
OF MANSLAUGHTER
Verdict of Jury Returned After Deli
beratiOn of Three Hours. SEN
tence to Come Later.

The famous Griller murder case
came to an end in circuit court at
Bessemer Tuesday evening when
the jury returned a verdict OF
guilty of manslaughter after deli
berating about three hours. The
easr went to the jury late in the
afternoon and at 9 o'clock in the
evening the verdict was returned.
That Griller did not draw more
than a verdict of mauslaughter
came as surprise to many, and it
Is generally conceded that it was
due larg ely to the able defense put
up by his attorney, James A. o.
Nelll of Ironwood. Many persons
familiar with the case expected no
less than a verdict of murder in
the hrst or second degree. since,
to allappearances GriIler shot down
Mcl,aren in cold blood. Attendants
at the trial, however, say that in
spite OF the excellent fight put up
by Prosecutor Byron M. Brogan
there was not sufficient testimony
introduced to warrant a verdict of
murder. The principal witness for
