overproduction named by public
speakers as one cause of our pres
ent commercial distress. How
can they say that when half the
world is starving and crying for
the very produce that is now lying
around in stagnant heaps waiting
for the sickly organs of distribu-
ton to function? If the organs of
worldwide distribution were now
vigorous and functioning efficient
ly, we could easily fill the out
stretched hands of Russia and
China with bread and butter.
Were the roads leading from our
little community in such condition
as to seriously embarrass traffic
there would soon be a surplus of
commodities in our community,
but there would not be any such
thing as overproduction. There is
little danger of cver-production
when the transportation system is
vigorous and adequate.

Thomas Wales attempt to shield a
younger brother who accidentally dis
charged a pistol last night in their home
at 2S13 North Tancy street. resulted in
Thomas being held in $500 bail for the
Grand Jury today by Magistrate Price.
The arrest of Thomas. incidentally,
was the result of regular Sherlock
Holmes work by District Detectives
Golden and Leibrandt.
Thomas Wales owned the gun, which
he had Just bought for S5. His elder
and younger brothers and himself were
looking at it in the second story front
room of their home when 1t was dis
charged The bullet sailed out of the
window.
1t might have fallen harmlessly in
some ones back yard and nothing would
have happened. But instead 1t landed
IN the midst of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Dailey's family as they were at supper
in their home at 2S12 North Bailey
street. The bullet came in with ping
of broken glass and fattened against
the wall, passing within few inches Of
one of the children.
Mr.. DALEY telephoned the police, and
the district detectives went to investi-
gate.
Here Detective Golden got in his hne
work. With his partner he measured
the angle between the broken window
and the point wher" the bullet struck
the wall. They took a "<ight" along
the line which they drew from window
TO wall, and after somc figuring, con
cludcd the bullet must have come from
the Wales house in the next street.
What they learned when thov qucs-
toned the three boys led to the arrest
OF Thomas.
Mr.. and Mrs. DALEY wcr" Mt the
hearing today and pleaded with the
magistrate to let Thomas go, rs he was
working and a good boy. Tho magis-

fine when the elder brother stepped
forward and declared that Thomas was
not telling the truth.

JAM AT ELEVATORS IN HALL
Police Try TO Get Public to Use
Western Shafts

Two traffic patrolmen and Lieutenant
Caleb Brinton, of the Traffic Squad,
were stationed Mt the elevators in the
southeast corner Of City Hall this morn
ing to handle the elevator crowds.
This is the first time In the history
Of City Hall that it has been necessary
for police to be called to aid the regular
City Hall guards and the elevator
starter.
The congestion was due to the fact
that the new electric elevators are being
installed in the northeast corner and
the traffic naturally gravitates toward
the south instead of toward the two
western elevators. The crowd at the
southeast corner became SO large around
court time this morning that the line
extended into the rotunda, while the
elevators at the northwest and south
