However, Father Coughlin pays for his time on the air and the Co., lumbia Broadcasting System has announced that it cannot interfere. In the last month or so Father Coughlin has launched vigorous campaign against certain employers on the way in which they dismissed workers Several Detroit automo- bile manufacturers were even men toned by name. Despite the fact that he is criticized Father Cough lin's fan mail is about 5000 daily. When he announced a religious pamphlet for distribution last month he received 100000 requests.
 The weekly broadcasts from the Shrine of the Little Flower started five years ago with single Detroit station carrying them. Then as now. Father Coughlin bought his own time on the air. To-day there are the following stations carrying the WCAU, WsXAU, WAS, wMAL. WCAO, WKRC, WXYZ. WMAQ WCCO. WHIT. KNOX.
 In beginning his broadcast five years ago Father Coughlin sought merely to foster devotion to St The rese, the Little Flower. As the number of listeners increased he branched out into political and eco homie topics involving the element of controversy. One year ago he directed a strenuous attack on com munism. He swung from this into the unemployment situation and then aimed terrific broadside at certain capitalists.
 Father Coughlin's talks are heard between and 8 o'clock, eastern time, over the Columbia chain. WABC is the New York outlet. The program is known as the Golden Hour of the Little Flower

They go on 90 smoothly, and level out so well, that the amateur paint CT, by observing directions on the can, finds decorating with them a source of real pleasure and satisfaction. While they dry dust free under normal conditions-in about one hour, and are dry enough for recoating in about four hours, yet they set slowly enough to allow ample time to brush back through the enamel, to smooth out any imperfect places and to avoid laps. They stay "put"- do not run or sag.

PRELIMINARY STEPS.
IN BATTLE FOR new.
BANNON TRIAL TAKEN
Man in State Penitentiary De-
nies Completely in Murder
Of Haven Family

Preliminary legal steps In q pro-
posed appeal to the state supreme
court have been completed by coun-
sci for J-mes F. Bannon, serving a
life term in prison here as the result
of his conviction Of completely in the
murder of the six members Of the
A. E. Haven family on their farm
near Schafer.
Notice Of appeal has been served
on Attorney General James Morris,
and filing of the appeal in the SUI
preme court will take place as soon
as the transcript of the records of the
case are completed.
New Trial Motion Denied
A motion for a new trial was de-
MED in the district court at Crosby
where Bannon was convicted June 28.
Counsel for Bannon IS asking for q
new trial on the grounds that there was
insufficient evider:e to justify the
verdict, that the verdict IS unlawful,
and that the verdict rs clearly
against the evidence"
Morris said that he personally
would aid in opposing the appeal for
a new trial when the case is tried
in the supreme court. Thomas Cra-
ven, Williston, who, as special as
sistant attorney general, aided States
Attorney j. S. Taylor prosecute the
action at Crosby, also will be called
on to oppose the action, Morris said.
E. ]. McIllraith, Crosby, and w. A.
jacobson, Watford City, are Ban
mons counsel.
Bannon was brought to trial after
his son, Charles, was lynched by q
mob that stormed the Jail in which
the father and son were held at
Schafer. The father was not mo-
Tested.
Slain About Feb. 10
The state charged in their case
against James Bannon that the Ha-
yens we're slain on their farm about
Feb. 10, 1880. Bannon and his son
took over the farm at about that
time, telling neighbors the Havens
had gone to Oregon.
Late in 1880, Charles was suspect
ed and subsequently confessed his
guilt, but absolved his father. The
22-year r-old farm boy steadfastly
maintained that he alone was re-
sponsible for the deaths of Mr.. and
Mrs. Haven and their four children.
In the meantime, the elder Ban
non had left for Oregon. He later
was arrested and returned to North
Dakota on charges of murder. The
state claimed Bannon aided in the
crime, while defense contended that
the sons confession was sufficient to
indicate Bannon'S innocence.

Tennyson's tale of Enoch Arden,
the wanderer who returned to
find his wife married to another
man and who kept his secret un-
til death, has found its counter
part in life but with a different
finale.
James Hool, disappeared at
Miles City, in 1923, and later was
reported killed. He returned to
the home Of his wife here and
Paul Lantz, the second husband,
has withdrawn.
Mrs. Hool-Iantz decided that
Hool. injured in the World war
and in poor health, was more de-
serving of her affections.
The three agreed that Hool was
to buy Lantz' equity in the home
hers and to purchase the furni-
ture. Also, the trio agreed that
annulment of the second mar
riage is unnecessary.
