FUND REPORT
Campaign Ended, $233,000
Short of Goal.

Lacking 22.2 per cent of the goal
of $1,052,632 the 1882 welfare and
relief mobilization of the Indian
apoliS Community Fund closed Mon
day night with a dinner of cam
paign workers at the Claypool with
total of $819, 328.77 subscribed. Ad-
ditional funds reported amounted to
$13,316.35.
The workers were praised by
Arthur Baxter, chairman of the
mobilization, for the whole hearted
manner in which they strove to
raise the amount estimated neces-
sary to carry on the city's charity
battle.
Hugh NICK. Landon, chairman CT
the special gifts committee, re-
proved those whose consciences
should hurt them for their failure
to share in this emergency"
He asserted there was at least
$4,000 more that should have been
subscribed by persons his division.

We have failed, for no army ever
won by traversing 80 per cent of

But, in another sense, I think it
is only fair to proclaim this result

Il can not say what effect this
shortage will have. The problem
will be placed before your board of
directors for solution.

TWO BURNED IN
FLAMING SHACK
Woman May Die; Man Bad.
Iy Hurt in Fighting Blaze.

Severe burns were incurred today
by man and a woman in fire
which destroyed a shack they occu-
pied as home at city dumping
ground in the 1900 block West
Washington street, and the woman,
an invalid, may not recover.
The injured are Everett Ray, 81,
and Mrs. Grace Farlow, A.
Ray said he arose early today and
fueled a stove. He laid down again
and was awakened when smoke
choked him.
He sought to carry Mrs. Farlow
from the flaming shack, but was too
weak. He dragged her outside.
In dazed condition, Ray said he
believes he carried water in buckets
for an hour in efforts to extinguish
the fire.
Ray said he had lived in the
shack year and half and had
earned little money by selling
baskets and other small articles
which he made. Mrs. Farlow, he
said, had asked to share the place
with him, stating she was homeless.

minutes today, before evicting them
from their farm home.
The farmer, Max Cichon, and his
wife, who live in the town of Sugar

horn, armed themselves with a rifle
and shotgun, sent their two children
into the house, and held back the
dozens of attacking deputy sheriffs

Cichon's farm was sold at fore

fused to move.
Cichon finally agreed to submit
for fear that his children might be

BEER PUSHED

BILL DEFEAT
Brew Hearings to Begin

BY MARSHALL M'NEIL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The
fight to legalize and tax beer be-
came the chief prohibition budget
issue before congress today as the
result of the moral victory, but nu-
merical defeat, of repealists in the
house Monday.
The house ways and means COM
mittee Wednesday will begin its
beer hearings, thereby reopening the
whole national tax question.
A vote on modification of the Vol
stead act TO balance the federal
budget will not be taken in the
house for at least a week or ten
days, and maybe not until after the
Christmas holidays.
Repeal, it generally is believed.

the Garner repeal resolution and

Garner failed: but the vote was

OF objections by defense counsel.

by Sheaffer.

armored with metal one-half inch
thick in which there were some
holes. The room, he continued
contained a table and chairs and
On the wall was a felt-covered board
three or four feet long on which
figures were painted in gold. He
testified he did not know for what
use the board was intended.

seized and listed as gambling equip
ment were dice, roulette balls and
blank pads.
Liquor he reported seized included
three-fourths of a pint of colored
whisky and some liquor in two high
balls and pint bottle half filed
with whisky.
Asked if he knew the general rep
utation of the Showboat in regard
to liquor law violation, EiSenhut re-
piled:

After an nOur ana half OF argu-
mentS which started the trial,
Sheaffer overruled the motion to
suppress evidence.

| He urged additional salary
cuts for government workers,
and promised a thorough re-
organization of government
departments.
The message was vigorous in tone,
and mildly encouraging in its out
look on the economic situation. Sta
tistics indicating progress since July
were cited.
The President touched on foreign
war debts, and let it be known that
he would have subsequent COM
munication coevring this crisis in
detail as soon as present negotia-
tons are completed.
Three Definite Directions"
He outlined three definite direc-
tons for action to speed recovery.
They are:
l. Continuation of reduction OF
all government costs.
2. Complete reorganization at
once of the nations banking sys-
tenn.
3. Vigorous and whole-souled CO.
operation with other governments
in the economic field.
Touching briefly on the budget
for 1933-34, which he will outline in
a message Wednesday, the President
declared that the budget will show
proposed reduction in appropriations
below those enacted by the last
session of the congress by over
$3.50, 100000"
He made clear, however, that
these sums in reduction of APP
preparations will be partially off,
set by an increase of about $780,
100000 in uncomfortable items such
as increased debt services, etc."
making the estimated saving about
$3.50, 100000, according to his figures.
Extend Manufacturers Tax
The President said he would rec
ommend an extension of the manu-
facturers' excise taxes ito cover
practically all manufactures at a
uniform rate, except necessary food
and possibly some grades of cloth
ing"
In government economy, he point
ed out that his budget message
would recommend an additional II
per cent pay cut on all salaries
above $1,000 year. The result,
with the present so-called payless
furlough system, would be an av-
erage lab per cent reduction in
pay to those earning more than
81 ,O0O."
He also intends in the budget
message, he said, to recommend
measures to eliminate certain pay
ments in the veterans services"
and added many abuses have
grown up from Il-considered legis-
lstion. They should be eliminated"
ReOrganize Government
The President announced he in
tended to take advantage of his
newly acquired power for wide
spread reorganization of the federal
government, given in the last ses-
sion of congress.
He announced he would issue the
necessary executive orders within
a few days, grouping or consolidat-
ing more than fifty executive and
administrative agencies"
The President amplified his de-
mand for complete revision of the
banking laws by declaring that
the shocks to our economic system
undoubtedly have multiplied by the
weakness of 6 r financial system"
He pointed OF that in Great
Britain there has not been a single
bank failure" but that bank failures
in the United States rose in 1881
to 1917 per cent Of all the banks"
