BANNONS TO FACE
MURDER CHARGE

charges of murder. The father has
denied any knowledge of the
crime and his son exonerates him.
A week ago, when States At

to arraign the father and son.
Mrs. Bannon, the wife and mother
of the defendants, asked for a de-
lay while she attempted to obtain
an attorney for her husband. She
has carried On negotiations with a
Minot lawyer but he has not as
yet accepted the case.
The states attorney still be-
lieves that a full true story Of
the slayings has not been told by
Charles Bannon. He considers it
significant that the younger Ban
non has now related to him that
the killings were premeditated
80 | could get their cattle, but
the prosecutor believes the slayer
also had money robbery as a mo-
tive. Charles has told he took
a considerable amount of cash
from Ravens person after he had
been slain.
The states attorney has also
revealed that the younger Bannol
recently told him that he thrice
moved the body Of Mrs. Haven
and part of the remains of 3-year-
old Charles.
The slayer's declaration that
the crime was premeditated is
directly opposite to earlier state
ments made by him that he first
accidently shot Daniel and then
in self defense killed Mr.. and Mrs.
Haven and Leland, and then slew
Charles and an infant child when
overcome by fear.

FEDERAL BOARD
SUPPORT WHEAT

Advice from st. Paul says tina
after a thorough investigation, {
committee representing the bust
ness organizations and the state
organizations of the Farmers
Union in eleven northwestern and
other states is more solidly behind
the Federal Farm board and its
marketing program than ever, the
Farmers Union Terminal a~ssocia-
tion asserts in its weekly review.
"A committee of which C. A.
Ward, president of the Kansas
Farmers Union was chairman,
finds that the charges made by
John Simpson of Oklahoma City,
president of the National Farmers
Union, that Alexander Legge, the
chairman of the Federal Farm
Board, said that the Farm Board
had depressed wheat prices, is in
correct the review says. "Other
members of the investigating COM
mittee which made a trip to Wash
ington, We're A. N. Young. presi-
dent of the Wisconsin Farmers
Union; j.. r. Callahan, president
of the Illinois Farmers Union and
NJ. w. Thatcher. general manager
of the Farmers Union Terminal
association
This committee fully agrees
with Mr.. Legge's reply to Mr.. Sim
pson concerning prices which
reads: Isn't it rather absurd to
accuse the Federal Farm board OF
trying to depress the price of
wheat at a time when the domes-
tic markets r rs to 35 cents a
bushel above what wheat would
bring if exported today
This committee IS not speaking
for the National Farmers Union.
It's purpose is to serve the best in
terests of the Farmers Union bust
ness organizations of the North
west and the membership of the
eleven states" The problems that
the state farmers unions of these
eleven states face are possibly diff
ferent from those of the member
ship which Mr.. Simpson represents
These eleven states are 100 per
cent back of the Federal Farm
board program. II Mr.. Simpson
and his supporters oppose the
Farm board program, they have d
right to do so. When this com
mittee was organized November
%. 1880, it was stated that these
state Farmers Unions, including the
Northwest group, have banded to
continue their support of the Farm
Board regardless of the opposite
of the Simpson group. This
group has been, and plans to con
tinue, in full cooperation and sup
port of the Federal Farm Board
and its agencies. The formation Of
of this group need in no way sep
arate the National Farmers Union. {

Capitol hill set off explosions
there that promised to be heard
in the next election.
Senator Borah of Idaho, an ad-
vocate of prohibition, said repeal
or no repeal of the 18th amend
ment was the issue and demanded
that it be taken to the people.
Il should like to see those OBJ
posed to the 18th amendment pre-
sent their alternative and let the
people choose between them in an
orderly and proper fashion," he
said.
Senator Blaine, republican, Wis
consin, an opponent of the dry
law, introduced a resolution for a
substitute prohibition amendment
similar to that h e commission
outlined. His proposal would give
congress power to regulate liquor
traffic, but not to prohibit.
To Committees
After the first storm of words
subsidized congress turned back to
its burdensome legislative task.
The report was sen to the judici-
airy committees of the house and
senate with indications that it
remain there until next session
at least.
: Chairman Norris of the senate
judiciary committee said he ex-
pected no action by it at this SEES
sion, although he would name a
subcommittee to study the Blaine
proposal if the Wisconsin senator
desired.
Nine To Two
In the individual conclusions,
two commissioners asked outright !
repeal, four others favored modifi-
cation, two were for a further
trial with some form of r~eferen-
dunn meanwhile, and the remain
ing three advocated continued
trial with intensified enforcement.
Separately and collectively, the
members condemned many of the
conditions under the dry laws
while at the same time noting its
benefits. They declared better OBJ
servance and enforcement impera-
tive If prohibition is to survive.
With one exception, the whole
commission agreed that if the con-
stitution is to be revised. the best
way would be to strike out the
present absolute banning of liq
uor and to give congress the re-
Eponsibility OF finding q new solu.'
ton.

GLASSBORO, N. j., Feb. ~.
Remaining in his old home more
than 18 months after the place
had been sold at sheriff'S sale,
Jacob S. Eisenhower, 80, will go
to his grave without ever having
learned the identity of the bene-
factor who made his last days
happy.
When Eisenhower died his
wife, Christina, 78, was at his
bedside in their old 11-room
homestead.
Public interest was aroused in
the Eisenhowers in 1929, their
60th wedding anniversary. They
returned from a celebration and
found on their door notice of a
sheriff's sale Of the property in
mortgage foreclosure.
p AS they faced eviction that

VOLLBEHR WINS
BIBLE CASE

DR.. Otto H. F. vollbehr, noted
German, who recently sold to the
Library of Congress a collection
of incunabula, including the IA
nous Gutenberg Bible Of the fif-
teenth century, will not have to
pay Otto M. Stanfield, New York
broker a $150,000 commission in
connection with the transaction,
Justice Jesse c. Adkins, In Equity
Court, decided today.
The famous collection was de-
ivered to the Congressional Ii
brary last summer following
passage of the Collins bill and
MIR. Stanfield Immediately filed
an equity bill restraining DIR. VOll-
behr from receiving $175,OO0 (claim
plus court cOSts) Of the $1,5OO, 900
allowed by Congress for the col
lection, alleging that the German
collector had made a contract to
pay him 10 per cent commission
for the sale Of the collection in
America.
N1&ALnS Oh OeAGnS0
DR.. Vollbehr engaged Attorney
Paul M. Lesh to contest the. claim
Of Mr.. Stanfield.
The defense claimed that Mr..
Stanfield was to have nothing to
do with the Collins Bill, but was
to confine his efforts exclusively
to obtaining an outside party or
institution to purchase the collec-
tion which was valued, at over
3,000,00O
Mr.. Charles H. Strong, q New
York lawyer and secretary Of the
Bar Association Of New York was
introduced to DIR. VOllbehr by
the broker and agreed to use his
influence i'm obtaining q buyer
for the collection, according to
the records.
Although Mr.. Strong worked in
the House for the passage of the
bill, he did so with the express
understanding that it was not in
the course of any employment, but
solely as a lover Of books and a
desire to see the collection placed
in the Library Of Congress.
Not Concerned in Bill
He so testified during the hear
ing of the case and refuted any
claim of Mr.. Stanfield's that he
was instrumental in having the
bill passed.
In fact, the court found at the
time Representative Ross Collins
of Mississippi introduced his origi-
nal bill he had not heard of
either Mr.. Strong or Mr.. Stan
field, but was prompted by the
press notices of the famous col.
lection and its value to literary
research.
He had not met DR.. voIlbehr at
the time of the introduction of
the bill, it also appeared from the
evidence.

lives and damage in excess of
$3.50, 900 was inflicted on the Fiji
Islands this week by one Of the

tions.

D. c, DIRECTORY
LISTS DEAD

WaShington'S city directory,
which is supposed to contain
names of all persons living here,
also lists many of those who are
dead.
When asked to explain this con-
dition, the publishers Of the direc-
tory, r. L. Polk & Co., Gil G st.
N. w., admitted it was an over
sight on their part when the
names were compiled. They also
admitted they did not know Of
the matter until a Times reporter
asked about it.
It was explained that when
work Of compiling names of resi-
dents here was completed, list
Of those persons who had died in
the meantime was obtained for
the purpose Of excluding them
from the directory. In some man.
nre, it was explained, this list was
sent to the printer, with the result
that it was published.
An official Of the publishing
company said:
"The names Of persons who
have died were not supposed to
be In the directory. 1 did not
know that they were included.
It was doubtless an oversight.
We have never before carried
them in our directory, so far as
I can remember. No harm has
been done, Of course, but it is
something that should not have
happened"

death the State is attempting to
avenge by the trial of three al

session of the special 22-man
grand jury, which is probing
crime conditions here.
Mrs. Harry Love, daughter Of a
policeman and a former guest of
the LaSalIe Hotel, where the MUIR

traffic, preventing police chase of
the killers Immediately after the
crime. The Stalling of the car
was accidental, she claimed.
Lunched With Him

admission that she had lunched
with Angelo Livecchi, one of the
three men on trial for the Staying,
a short time after the murder Of
the fatal night of July %.

revealed the hidden motive" in
the murder of her husband, then
stepped from the witness court
Of Oyer and Terminer and
swooned into crumpled heap of
white and black.
Dusk descended about the city
hall courtroom as she sat in the
stand for nearly two hours, tell
ing in the plaintive voice of a
child the story of an abnormal
married life-a story that was
also a homely epic of the wash
board and the sink.
Hopes for Freedom
Telling a tale of inevitability
which she hopes will save her
from the fate which was ordained
for Harold E. Williams, her
brother-the electric chair.
But the effort was too much

ting to murder William F. Pro
phet in the bedroom Of their
home just before dawn last

Behind the jury box, as she
walked from her ordeal, where
none in the courtroom, filled with
women, could see her, she STUN
bIed and fell, her black, home
made dress rumpled grOtesquely
about the pallOr of her hands
and face.
Mrs. Prophet told of cruelty
by her husband and Of a married
life of misery, and after she had
denied with emphasis that she
had ever confessed to detectives
that she conspired to kill her

facilities would be soon granted

Byrd Had Code
It was expected the first broad
cast would be made soon after
the submarine, in which Wilkins
and his party plans to visit the
North Pole, cuts it's way through
the ice near the top of the world.
The Byrd expedition to the
South Pole communicated through
radio code. The Wilkins expedi-
ton will be the first to give q
verbal description for the radio
audience of the mysterious land
Of ice and snow around the
pole.
Radio engineers feel the ex.
pertinent will be of tremendous
importance because the human
voice will be transmitted for the
first time in history from the
Arctic.
Engineers expressed the belief
that the experiment would be
successful inasmuch as the Will
kins submarine will be fitted
with the most effective type Of
radio transmitting, as well as
receiving, apparatus.
The use of Short-waveS to carry
the broadcast over long distances
and their transformation at
American stations into frequen.
cieS such as may be picked up
by the ordinary radio receiver is
a system similar to that recently
employed in broadcasting the
message Of the Pope throughout
the world.
