BINGHAMTON, N. Y., Feb. 24.- "The boy knew what he was doing. It was greed that actuated him. He wanted the money that the old man had saved and human life meant nothing to him. A verdict of guilty will do more to establish law and order throughout the country thap anything else could do."
 That is the conviction of Charles Van Scoten, Assistant District At torney of Susquehanna County, Pa, on the other side of the New York State line, who will prosecute IA year-old Elmer Washburn, schoolboy, for the brutal staying of Cyrus Payne, Brushville recluse and Civil War veteran, on October 27 last
 The trial of the child the State brands a cold-blooded murderer was scheduled for the late January term of court but was placed over until the April term. Today, the boy ap- parently unable to grasp the serious ness of his plight, awaits the trial in the Montrose, Pa, jail
 The attorneys assigned by the court to defend the youth are con fident that he will be freed by the jury, in spite of the fact that he is alleged to have confessed.
 It was particularly heinous mur- der. The weak old man was his neighbor and friend. For years the lad had gone every day or two across the fields to the home of the Civil War veteran to share his meal and do any bits of work that might be needed and, in return, he would always receive a dime or a quarter.
 The dead mans body was dis covered by Charles Wilcox, owner of the farm on which Payne lived, on the Sunday after the crime was com mitted.
 On Wednesday, November |, Trooper Gratcofsky drove his car to the Brushville School and asked the teacher, Miss Irene Banker, if he might take Elmer for a ride. Miss Banker excused him. He was overioyed as he climbed into the car.
 After they had driven along the

I Maple Ridge road for awhile, Grat, cofsky questioned the boy about the gun barrel with which he is alleged to have beaten the old man to death.
 Shows Gun Barrel Gratcofsky took from under the seat of the car the blood-stalneo barrel and the stock, which had been found in the Washburn attic.
 "Here is the stock and barrel, Elmer" he said. "You might as well make a clean breast of it. We know all about it."
 The boy broke down and began to cry.
 "Yes, I did it." he sobbed. ."Tll tell you all about it. I did it be- cause wanted all that money. He showed it to me every day and kept thinking it wasn't any good just pinned up there in his shirt I wanted the money" In his statement to John Ferguson, District Attorney, the boy said:
 q had known Mr. Payne for a long time I used to call him grand pa. We were very good friends.
 'Iast summer he took a lot of money out of the bank There was s1,OOO bill and a lot of gold He used to show it to me and ask me if I ever expected to have as much money as that.
 Yielded Gun Barrel "Tast Friday I went to MT. Payne's. He was getting his breakfast, and so and so I baked hot cakes for him. While he was eating he hit him on the head with the gun barrel. The old man fell on the floor and I was scared, and hit him two or three times more. I then took the money. I locked the door and got out of the window and the window fell down and locked itself. I threw the gun barrel down the old well and then went up the hill and hid the bag and the envelope under a big some. I didn't want to kill the old man.
 "He put his hands up when I hit him and he was grooming when got out of the window. I didn't know he was dead for sure till they found the body on Sunday"

VALLEJO, Cal, Feb 24--With all preliminary steps completed and the way cleared for the granting of the franchise officials of the Rodeo- Val lejo Ferry Company are perfecting plans for the worlds largest suspen- sion bridge, which will remove for all time the water barrier to the quick and easy communication be- tween Central and Northern Cali fornia.
 The bridge will span Carquinez Straits, into which are discharged the waters of the Sacramento River.
 The largest ferryboat in the world now plies the Sacramento River at Benicia, transporting Southern Pa cific trains.
 The approval of the State Engineer to the plans of the company was granted recently.

 Under an appropriation obtained by Congressman Thompson last year, United States engineers are now surveying to find the best course for the waterway from Cincinnati to Toledo via Hamilton and Defiance. When this line is opened the barges will be diverted to this channel. The committee on appropriations, through a subcommittee, has allowed $150,000 for the completion of this survey.

JACKIE CO0CAN BAD INFLUENCE
 FOR CHILDREN!
Chicago Juvenile Worker Says Boy Star Has
 Bad Effect
PRESIDENCY NO INCENTIVE
Young America Led to Prefer Film Career to
 White House Chair

CHICAGO, Feb 24-When you sat and sinckered or struggled to keep back the tears that welled up into your eyes as you watched little Jackie Coogan, the boy film star, perform, did you ever think that there was any need of reforming him. Taking it for granted that you didn't. Listen to what one Chicago authority has to say about Jackie and his screen capers:
 Jackie, while an entertainer beyond question, is an "evil influence" upon Young America, says Miss F. Zeta Youmans, juvenile protective work CT, of Chicago. He should be taken 1 from the screen, believes this young woman.
 Discussing Jackie and his alleged "evil influence" upon the youth of America, Miss Youman's said.
 Jackie Coogan's salary, far ex- ceeding that of the President of the United States; his portrayals of an alley boy and his association with adult alley characters-these are set ting a false standard for our children.
 "The children love him-idolize him. They cast aside the old-time ambitions to become President. They are now going to become Jackie Coogans. And, inspired by the Coogan pictures, they are turning toward the life of screen Coogans"

Dynamite Dippings Vats
 In MCCurtain County

From McCurtain Gazette:
 News of the blowing of six of the dipping vats near Bethel, in the north portion of the county reached the Gazette this morning.
 From the best information to be had, the vats were dynamited during Satur- day night, that is five of them, and one during Monday night.
 Circumstances indicate that only one Or two parties did the dastardly work. While the authorities have no definite clue as to who did it, they say they are on warm trail.
 The vats were nearly completely de- molished, and will require almost as nuch labor and money to repair them as to build news ones.
 Of course the commissioners court will replace them as soon as possible, but there ought to be more money ex- pended getting these guys into the penitentiary than on new vats.
