FORESEES IRELAND AS BIG
AVIATION PORT OF FUTURE
British Air Official Predicts Erin
Will Be Calling Place for
Aerial Liners.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
BALDONNEL, Ireland, January
8-Ireland as the future calling place
for ocean aerial liners is seen by
Maj. Gen. Sir Seton Brancker, d.
rector of civil aviation of the British
air ministry, after a visit to the Free
States air force headquarters.
He visualiZes a route from America
to Ireland and thence to London and
the continent. The transatlantic
routes. he thinks, might be traversed
by big airships carrying passengers
and goods, airplanes being used for
the shorter routes to connect with
the transcontinental service. Sir
Seton is enthusiastic about a sug-
gestion recently made regarding a
flight by Irish airmen to America.

FREED OF 2O-YEAR
MURDER CHARGE
Accusation Against Man Who
Surrendered Voluntarily
Waived by Judge.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo, January s.
Jim Sublett is a free man today after
20 weary years of wandering about
the country with a murder charge
hanging over his head.
Sublett killed Joe billiard. an old
friend, with a bullet intended for an
other during an argument in 1905.
He Immediately left the country, and
although a nationwide search was in
stituted, he was NEVER apprehended
The agony suffered by Sublett over the
killing of his friend and the terror OF
constant flight led him to surrender
several weeks ago. He was placed in
Jail at Galena, Mo.
The story told by the prisoner won
him many friends. Relatives, includ-
ing the wife and daughter of the
slain man, visited Sublett in his cell,
and all kindness was shown him.
Public sympathy grew rapidly during
his Incarceration, and at last Judge
Stewart and Prosecuting Attorney
Hicks, meeting with relatives and
other officers, agreed to waive the
charges and Sublett was released, once
more a free man. He returned to his
home, at Piney, Ark.

porters Of the principle OF the McNary
and Iaugen bills. one is for the

Treasury to meet the losses.
Denounce Tincher Bill.
The Tincher bill. they insis;. is uo
remedy at all.
The economic weakness Of the SO
called surplus crops bills fathered by
Senator McNary and Representative
Haugen. and by many OF the farm
organizations lies in the probability
that the very remedy set up 10 meet
the surplus evil will cause greater sur
pluses.
The supporters OF the Haugen bill
in the House have made every enort
to obtain the aid of the members
from the cottongrowing states OF the
South. Their latest proposal cutting
the revolving fund to $4,000. 900,
provides for the loan of $4,000, 900 10
the cotton farmers without imposing
the equalization fee for the next two
years. But the Haugen bin also pro
vides for putting into effect the theory
Of the protective tariff. The prices to

This is difficult for the Democrats 10
