slayer of a family of six persons

The citizens came to the Jail in
16 automobiles and two trucks.
They told Deputy Sheriff P. Hal
lam, who was on guard in the office
that they had come for the keys to
the Jail SO they could lynch Bannon.
The deputy sheriff refused to
hand over the keys.
We'll get him anyway" the group
shouted.
Hallam was unable to notify out
side officials to call for help because
the telephone line going out of
Schafer had been cut
The group then gathered logs
which were near the jail, broke
down the door and into Bannon's
cell. Bannon was in the first OF
the four cells of the Jail.
While the citizens were dragging
him from his cell, Bannon pleaded
Save my dad. He's not guilty" His
father, who was suspected of help
ing young Bannon in killing the
Haven family, was held in the Jail
along with convict named Mathes.

Kettleman Field
Plan May Fail

FRESNO, Cal, Jan. 30. U.P)-
Oil men here today estimated that
the unit plan of production for
Kettleman Hills North Dome as
proposed by Secretary of the Inter-
ior Ray Lyman Wilbur would fail
of 100 per cent agreement by at
least 1900 acres. The North Dome
includes an estimated $4,000 acres.
Wilbur has been reported as say
ing the plan would be workable only
if 100 per cent of the acreage was
signed.
The estimates made here were
based on a roundup of the firms
and individuals owning property in
the field and who have protested
the terms of the agreement as un-
fair to the small interests.
Outstanding among the "rebel'
group were named the Felix, Whep-
ley and Huffman interests. All own
producing wells and would be the
greatest sufferers in loss of actual
income under the unit plan of oper-
alton.

ROW ON Bonus
PAYMENT GOES
BEFORE HOUSE
Treasury Chiefs Appear
To Oppose Cashing OF
Certificates.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. U.P)-
The administrations attempt to
check the growing campaign for
cash payments to war veterans was
transferred to the house today. Sec
retary of Treasury Mellon, Under
Secretary Ogden Mills and Direc-
tor Frank T. Hines of the Veter-
ans Bureau, appeared before the
ways and means committee to rel
terate opposition to these propo-
sails expressed before Senate conf
mittee yesterday.
Mills opened the ad ,linistration
plea by reading to the COMMITTEES
the statement Secretary Mellon
made before the senate finance
committee and all the other letters
the Treasury secretary has written
since the agitation first began at
the outset of the session
Mellon opposes the proposal as
uneconomical, as endangerirg' gov
ernment finance, as of little use in
aiding the present business depres-
sion and says the veterans would be
more benefited by holding their
certificates as insurance.
The Treasury estimated the cost
Of full cash payment of the ma
tured value Of the adjusted service
certificates at $3.400 100000, while
Mills said it would cost the govern
ment between 81, zoo, 900 900 and $2,l
100000 to pay off the present
cash value of the certificates. Mel
Ion argued that because of many
government bonds now outstanding
and others soon to come due it
would not be wise to issue addi-
fional bonds at this time to cover
the cost of the bonus as has been
suggested. He doubted that they
would be easily absorbed now.
WASHINGTON, Jan. %. U.p> -
Republican leaders in congress were
inclined to believe today that World
war veterans will be voted further
compensation despite administra-
ton opposition.
There is vast pressure in behalf
of some plan to pay cash now for
adjusted compensation certificates,
and some observers believe it would
pass over the veto which President
Hoover would be expected to invoke.
Hearings on veterans legislation
were scheduled today by committees
of both the senate and house. Sec
cretary of Treasury Mellon, who
yesterday assailed the proposal be-
fore the senate finance committee.
may appear before the house ways
and means committee to oppose the
compensation.

|JOBLESS PROBLEM
| EASY FOR IRELAND
Free State Report Shows
Little Suffering From
Unemployment.
BY FRANCIS M. MANSFIELD.


BY Gable to The Star.
GENEVA. July 2l-Robert C. Fer
gusson, assistant secretary of the De-
partment of Industry and Commerce Of
! the Irish Free State, has sent report
here that his country has not suffered
from any great degree of unemploy-
ment: at least, not to anything like the
extent of other countries.
Farmers Not Suffering.
Continuing, in a report made to the
International Labor Conference, which
| held its fifteenth annual session in
Geneva this month, he states that
agricultural production does not show
any decrease in output and conse-
ouently no marked decrease in the en-
ployment of agricultural labor.
The principal exports from Ireland
are live stock and animal food products
also Ford tractors from Cork. Nine
| teen thirty export figures show no de-
crease as compared with recent years
| The fall in export prices has not been
greatly marked. No difficulty has been
experienced by the Irish farmer IN
selling all his cattle and cattle products
at prices which, in view of the prevail
ing agricultural depression, cannot be
regarded as unsatisfactory. Amy drop
there may have been in export prices
was virtually made up by n sharper drop
in the prices of imported fertilizers and
| food stuffS.
Aided by Government.
The easy situation of the Irish farmer
is due to the fact that Ireland is not a
country principally producing grain and
such other commodities as have suffered
| the sharpest fall in prices.
Government policies have aided
greatly in stabilizing the situation
Legislation has brought about rationale
zation of certain parts of the agricul-
tural industry. particularly in the mat
ter of standardizing qualities Schemes
| Of combined marketing are being worked
| out An agricultural credit corporation
established by the state supplies capt.
tai to farmers. Cooperative breweries
and cooperative societies for the pur-
! chase of farm supplies have been fea-
/ ture of Irish farm economy for many
years. A recent legislative measure has
relieved farmers of portion of the bur-
den of local taxation.
