SALVATION ARMY
 NEEDS S25 MORE
Contributions Coming More Slowly Than in Other Years

I'd rather walk and let someone who needs it more have the siA cents" With this statement a young woman dropped a nickel and penny into a Salvation Army kettle and voluntarily relinquishing her bus ride home, started off on foot with her arms full of bundles.
 This phase of the Christmas giv- ing, according to Adjutant Carl Fredrickson, is predominant this year. While the sentiment and spirit of the gift means a lot to Adjutant Fredrickson and his co-workers, as did the 50 cents sent in by poor widow from Bristol. there will be a lot of people disappointed on Christmas, unless contributions Of more substantial denominations are received.
 The Sallies have undertaken the job of supplying Christmas dinners to 525 people, distributed by means of 75 baskets, each basket contain ing a dinner for seven persons. Each basket will contain half peck of potatoes, two quarts of apples. three oranges, two pounds of sugar, one pound of coffee. one bunch of cell cry, a box of mixed cookies, bag of candy, a bag of nuts. a can of peas, can of corn. a can of fruit, half pound of butter, a quart of onions. five or six pound roast. two loaves of bread, a can of milk and copy of the Salvation Army war cry.
 Plan Christmas Party
 A Christmas party, with tree and a santa Claus. will be given to sev- eral hundred needy children We'd nesday. December 2s, at I. o. o. F. hall. Adjutant Fredrickson has been advised by the officials of the hall that they will donate it for that pur- pose. At the party there will be some professional entertainment. Each child will be given an orange, an apple, a bag of candy, box of animal crackers and one toy. Adju- tant Fredrickson has purchased al most 100 dolls for the party.
 But if we are going to get the money to pay for this. we must have larger contributions" said the Sal vation Army head today. we are getting plenty of small contributions but the usual number of large checks are not forthcoming. Yester- day I got a check for $25 and one for $10 but most of the money is in small denominations. Saturday we counted 1900 pennies and about $7o in dimes and nickels in the kettles. We need $1,o00 and to date we have only about $s75. Contrary to the custom of previous years, no bills are being dropped into the kettles. Other years it has been nothing un- usual for us to receive as many as 25 one dollar bills in the kettles in a single day"
 The adjutant has extended an in yitation to the general public to at tend the party December 26.

 Broods Over Loss of Wine
 According to the police, Aloisio has been complaining for the past month that barrel of wine, con- taining between 50 and 60 gallons was stolen and he named the alleged thief. The latter, however. denied the charge. In fact he called De- tective Sergeant Ellinger and told him about it before Aioisio lodged the complaint. While the police were investigating the matter, the suspect said he would give Aloislo 60 gallons of wine to quiet him, but this did not suffice and Aloisio is said to have told members of his family that he wanted publicity so that the world would know he had been robbed, and he decided to make the declaration in public. which he was doing when attention was attracted to his actions.

JOINT RAIL AND
AIR TRANSPORT
FORECAST SOON
N. A. A. Head Sees Fast
CroSS-COuntry Service
as Next Step.
BY CECIL OWEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The
next important stage in aviation
development will be use of airplanes
as auxiliaries to the fast railroad
lines of the country, in the belief of
Porter Adams, president of the
National Aeronautical Association.
Adams pictured a time, probably
in the near future, when passengers
will cross the continent in two and
one-half days by combined air
and rail transport system. For COM
fort, air travel would be restricted
to the daylight hours.
Planes would land in the heart of
a city by utilizing train sheds as
landing fields, Adams predicted. He
said he has noted great increase
in interest by railroad executives in
the possibilities of airplane trans
portation, and many important
roads are now considering such
projects.
Road Buys Plane
A report has come to him, Adams
said, that one of the country's larg-
est roads has recently bought fifty
planes as an auxiliary to its service
between two large cities and intends
to put them in operation soon.
Transatlantic stunt flights are a
thing Of the past" in Adams
opinion, and the next stage in
oceanic flying will be development
Of a regular transatlantic service,
he said.
For the present he added, dirigibles
are more practicable for long over
water flights, but as a transatlantic
airplane service may be expected
within few years.
Decides Against Sea Hops
The advisory board of the N. A. A.
recently decided against a proposal
that the association sponsor one or
two transatlantic flights.
Development of commercial aero
nautics was held to be a more prom

plane service across the North At
lantic.
Along with use of airplanes as an
auxiliary to railroads is the pro-
posal to bring Europe a day nearer
this country by ship-to-shore serv-
ice
Adams said he expected this serv-
ice to grow rapidly, once it starts.

WHY'S Overland Banquet.
"In my judgment. Indiana and its

market for automobiles, as any to

TARIFF JAM MAY
BREAK (, FARLEY
Pan-Amerioan Delegates
Fear Argentina Through.
B LOUIS JAY HEATH
United Press Stan Correspondent

HAVANA, Feb. 15.-Pan-Ameri-
can Union delegates today feared
that DR.. Honorio Pueyrredon, chief
Argentine delegate, had withdrawn
from the conference after his re-
fusal to sign a union constitution
unless it contained an anti-tariff
clause.
1t was admitted that such with
drawal would mar the entire confer
ence, already facing the necessity
of confessing inability to do the
work 1t set out to do.
An hour after the time set for
the meeting OF the American
Union committee, DR.. Pueyrredon
and his fellow Argentine delegate,
Laurentino Olascoaga, were absent
and Pueyrredon could not be
reached by telephone.
Delegates Immediately suggested
among themselves the possibility
that Pueyrredon had decided not to
participate.
Up to the time of meeting, no
solution that was regarded as hav-
ing chance Of success had been
suggested.
The situation was deadlocked,
with Pueyrredon holding out alone
on what he said was a matter Of
basic principle.
For. days, Charles E. Hughes,
chief United States delegate, and
others had tried vainly to move
Pueyrredon.

Slayer of Marion Parker Is
in Excellent Spirits at
Hearing.
TEST SANITY PLEA LAW
Attack on New Statute to
Be Made in Appeal to
High Court.
BY DAN CAMPBELL,
United PreSS stan Norraaro,,L~,I

COURTROOM, Los Angeles. Feb.
15.-Wiliam Edward Hickman and
his erstwhile pal, Welby Hunt, went
to trial here today for the murder
of @. Ivy ThomS, Rose Hill druggist,
in a hold-up.
The case was assigned to Superior
Court Judge Elliott Craig after Su-
perior Judge Carlos s. Hrady had
overruled a motion for a continu-
ance made by attorneys for Hick-
man.
A second motion similar to the
one made before Judge Hardy for
continuance was denied by Judge
Craig, forcing the defense to begin
trial Immediately.
Defense Attorney Jerome Was
filed an affidavit, signed by Hickman
in which the attorney declared that
he could not handle the case prop
erly because of the short time he
had to prepare for it.
Hunt and Hickman stood together
as Judge Hardy read the affidavit
and denied the motion.
Hunt stood with downcast eyes,
but the convicted slayer of Marion
Parker smiled and appeared to be
in excellent spirits.
Selection of jury was scheduled
to start at once.
Appeal Is Prepared
An attack upon the constitution
atty of CALIFORNIA; new and I'M
tested criminal statute which allows
a defendant to plead not guilty by
reason of insanity, appeared prob
able today.
Attorneys for Hickman prepared
to seek a State Supreme Court ap-
peal from sentence Of death i'm
posed upon the convicted slayer of
the Parker girl.
The appeal was to be based upon
the contention that Hickman was
denied his constitutional right of
trial in the Parker case. Defense
counsel contended Hickman was not
tried on the question Of his guilt or
innocence, but on the sole issue of
bis mental condition.
The new California statute al
lowed Hickman to enter a plea Of
mot guilty by reason of insanity"
and it isxqgainst this new law that
Walsh and Cantillon intend to make
their stand to save Hickman from
the gallows.
May Live for Year
The moves, proposed by defense
counsel, may delay execution, set
for April q, for at least a year, it
is pointed out.
Defeat in the State Supreme
Court will be followed by an appeal
to the United States Supreme Court,
Walsh and Cantillon have declared.
District Attorney Asa Keyes de-
clares the State intended through
the Thoms trial to "tie a double
moose about Hickman's neck"
1.-THE State will prosecute the
charges for the Thoms killing just
as if Hickman already were not
condemned to DEATH" Keyes said.
While his attorneys worked to
save his life, Hickman seemed
resigned to accept the verdict melted
out by Judge j. j. Trabucco.
The youthful slayer had appeared
before the court, outwardly COM
posed, but there was noticeable
tremble and a slight paling, when
Judge Trabucco solemnly pro-
nounced sentence.
The condemned youth was led to
an anteroom where he asked of
newspaper men and guards:
,"Say I took it like a man, will
you?"
