Gold Nuggets Used
AS Marbles by Boys
NearBandit'sH Home
By the Associated Press.

HOLLISTER, Mo, December
26.-Schoolboys near here have
been playing marbles with gold
nuggets. Authorities believe the
nuggets were found near the
home of Jake Fleagle, Western
bandit, who was shot to death at
Brandon, Mo-, several months
ago.
The boys refused to divulge the
location of their cache. Clyde
Chapman, a railroad station
agent here, said his son was one
of those who found the nuggets.
A test proved the nuggets were
gold.
At the time Fleagle was killed by
officers there was much specula-
ton here as to a cache In which
it was believed he had hidden loot
taken in a number of robberies.
Chapman said there was as
much as double handful of the
nuggets in possession of the boys.

TODAY Is 18th
ANNIVERSARY OF
Bloody Sunday

Not January %, but "bloody
Sunday" is What every class con-
scious worker calls this day. For
twenty-five years ago, on January
%, 1905, the first Russian Revolu-
ton was initiated over the dead
bodies of a thousand workers. A
vast movement agitated the Russian
masses; the yoke of czarism lay
heavy across their backs. Strikes
and demands for a constitution
swept across the empire
On January %, thousands of
workers in st. Petersburg, led by
the priest Gapon, marched from
every section of the city towards
the Winter Palace of the car in
order to transmit a petition for
democratic rights. The workers
carried banners of sacred images,
and Gapon had written to the car
begging him to appear before the
people, with the assurance of COM
plete safety.
Instead of the car, the masses
met the savage attack of the cars

" Danger IN
South America

WASHINGTON, Jan. While
the race-for-armaments conference
goes on amidst a bombast of paci
fist phrases, sharpening antagon-
isms in Latin America between Brit
ish and U. S. imperialism are de-
veloping to war stage in the dis
pute between Bolivia and Paraguay
over the Chaco territory.
The Paraguayan government at
Asuncion, which is backed by British
imperialism, instructed its repre-
sentative here to inform the State
department at once that Bolivia,
which has the support of Wall
Street, has ordered an attack upon
the Paraguayan frontier positions
on the central Chaco tomorrow.
Obviously, with the information
given Washington by Paraguay of
the expected attack, goes the infer
ence that Paraguay will mobilize
troops to repel such attack-or make
one. The futility of trying to figure
out which country is the "aggressor'
and which is merely defending"
was taken up in a recent conference

Facts Show Growing

Hoover announces that employ

calls the statement of the imperial
list chief in his message to Congress
that conditions were fundamentally
sound" while more than 100000
workers were being thrown on the
streets as a result of the sharpen

A statement issued from the
White House, in line with the lying

by Hoover, and his business coun-
Gil, since the beginning of the sew
ere crisis, says that "data kept by
the department of commerce from
the time of the stock market crash,
until December %, showed a con-
slant decline in employment" but
that since Christmas the trend has
been upward, "and although no
exact figures are available on the
employment situation, jobs were
said to be much more plentiful than
at any time since the market dis
turbance."
This is a lie out of the whole
cloth. 1t is an attempt to hide the
smashing fact announced by the De-
partment of Labor that in Deem

The police department has
finger-printed Katovis as he lies
in the hospital near death.


Steve Katovis, near death in the
Lincoln Hospital, his spine shattered
by a bullet fired by a Tammany
cop, last Thursday, has begged his
comrades to force the removal of a
policeman from his bedside, who
guards him day and night.
