FOUR ARE HELD
AFTER Z DIE
IN FIRE
Police Claim Confession to
Starting Fatal Blaze in
Editors Home.
By international News Service.


ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 22.-Follow-
ing an alleged confession by Dimple
Nix, negress, that her husband set
fire to the home of John Mcdowell.
Decatur newspaper publisher, caus-
ing the deaths of McDowell's two
daughters, Willie Mattee and Marian,
the Nix woman, her husband.
Johnny, his brother and her sister
were rushed to the Fulton county
Jail in Atlanta early today for safe
keeping.
The quartet narrowly missed
rough handling by a mob last
night. Shortly after they were re-
moved from the DeKaIb county
jail a crowd of 100 men appeared
at the door and demanded that all
four be turned over to them. The
leaders were informed they had
been sent to Atlanta.
The Nix woman said revenge was
the motive for the incendiarism, ac-
cording to DeKalb county authori-
ties. She was said to have impli-
Gated several other negroes, whose
names were not made known.
The negress had been discharged
from her position as cook at the
Mcdowell home a few days previous
to the fire. She said this incensed
her husband.
At the Jail Johnny Nix and his
brother denied knowledge of the
crime. Both declared they could
account for their whereabouts the
night the two young girls met their
death.
The two girls burned to death in
their beds Tuesday night. The
room which they occupied was a
blazing furnace when their parents
were awakened. The door Of the
room was found locked, indicating
to police that the blaze was set
by an incendiary who planned the
deaths of the girls.

BOARD
URGES FARM
CREDITS
Favors Additional Banking
Facilities to Effect Long
Term Loans.
BY w. II. ATKINS,
international News Service.

The Federal Reserve Board
comes out today with a strong
endorsement Of farm credit legis-
lation that will provide additional
bankinge facilities to finance the
farmers current long-term opera
tons, extending from six months
to three years. The board, Of
ficially surveying the farmers
credit needs, announced that en-
larged credit facilities for agri-
culturists are only one Of many
requisites for improving their
economic condition and security.
Congress il Blamed.
Expert study of the farm situa.
ton revealed to the board that the
farmer today occupies the least 1as
vOrable of all of the country's busi-
ness elements. And blame for the
situation is partly attributed to fail.
ure of Congress to widen the bank
ing powers, to give him greater
support Of the banks. Discussing
the farmers need financially, the
board said:
1T Is clear that during the past
year the farmer emerged from the
preston, and that the time is now
opportune for Strengthening his eco.
nomic condition in so far as this can
be accomplished by improving the
credit machinery at his command.
Needs Productive Loans.
It is in the field of productive or
intermediate credit that the farmer
is least well served. In building
up a herd of cattle, setting out an
orchad, purchasing work animals
and machinery, or making outlays
for long term improvements, the
farmer needs loans ranging from six
months to three years.
The machinery for this class or
loans has been inadequately devel-
oped. While farm loan banks are
authorized to make loans for such
purposes, the law fixed the minimum
maturity at five years, and requires
a first mortgage on the land as
security.
Credit requirements Of farmers
are closely related to movement, OF
agricultural prices. Price stability
is greatly to- be desired in the in
terests Of the farmer, among other
reasons because it would make 10
easier to determine and provide for
his financial requirements. The
farmers greatest handicap is lack
OF cooperation and resulting
scarcity of market Information and
bargaining strength.
or Cooperation Is Need.
Seven million farmers acting in
dividually cannot create market,
but are almost at the mercy OF
economic forces beyond their COM
troll. It is in cooperation, resulting
in better planned production and
more systematic marketing, based
on wider information that lies the
chief remedy for economic security
for the farmer"
The board said it is not opposed
to extension Of maximum maturity
of certain agricultural paper from
six to nine months. The beard also
favors a plan to permit banks with
smaller capital than is now re-
quired to join the Federal reserve
system, provided they build up
their capital deficiency in. three
years. With such an enactment by
Congress, the board said, the re.
serve system would be brought
closer to the farmer and his credit
needs.
