OWEN D. YOUNG
BACKS AID PLAN
OF DEMOCRATS
Approves Wagner Bill for
S50O,OO0,OO0 Relief
Program.

BIZ Scripps- Hoscard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, June Demo
cratic members of congress, prepar-
ing to fight for enactment of relief
legislation. today had the backing
of Owen D. Young, one Of the fore
most financial figures OF their party,
in their insistence that public works
be included in the program.
Young. in Washington over the
weekend, told Democratic senators
that he approves Of the Wagner bill
offered in the senate as compro-
mise between various other relief
proposals.
It includes s5OOOOO,OOO for public
works.
Apparently, Young did not discuss
the Garner bill. containing more
than a billion dollars for public con-
struction.
The Wagner bill may be consid-
cred today by the senate banking
and currency committee, but wheth-
er it is approved or not, Senator
Robert F. Wagner (Dem., N. "
does not intend to call it up for
vote until after the economy bill is
disposed Of.
Committee Study Continues
The house ways and means COM
mittee is continuing its study of the
Garner bill. 1t intends to make
favorable report, and the bill may
be called up for passage in the
house Monday under suspension of
rules.
However, it generally is under
stood that the Wagner bill has the
better chance of enactment.
President Hoover's message to the
senate was interpreted as disap-
proving of the extensive Garner
program, rather than the more
modest Wagner plan.
Hoover said, Il have not been
able to favor the expansion of pub
lie works beyond the program al
ready proposed in the budget" and
little later declared that the bud
get for 1888 calls for public works
expenditures Of more than $780,
100000.
Dispute Hoover Figures
Since the Wagner bill simply pro-
poses to remove public works al
ready budgeted for from current sup
ply bills and issue bonds to pay for
the work, Hoover's statement can be
understood as leaving the door open
to approval of this bill.
Wagner and other members of the
special relief committee dispute the
Presidents figures for 1888 public
works already approved, contending
the supply bills do not include more
than $3.50, 100000 for this. 1t was
their intention, through the $780,
100000 proposal, to double the 1888
program.

transition from normal home life
that may end in the electric chair.
The youth. a typical American
boy in appearance, told his tale IN
a second hearing before Judge Ar
thur E. Fisher, who seven months
ago sentenced McWilliamS to the
electric chair on his plea of guilty
to charges Of Staying a man in a
holdup.
The fate of the youth was placed
a second time before the court after
a successful appeal to the Illinois
supreme court, led by Clarence
Darrow. who pleaded that execu-
ton of one so young would set an
unfortunate precedent.
"I started to work when was Is, !"
the youth said. Il worked twelve
hours a day, and gave my money to
nv mother to pay the bills. I was
interested in. athletics and used to
go fishing.
Then just a month before this
thing happened, I started to go
around with a wild crowd. We drank
alcohol, picked up girls, and had
drunken parties.
THAT got too tame. I started
holding up people. I took drinks
before I went out to keep up my
courage"
He said he drank half a pint of
alcohol and seven bottles Of beer
before holding up street car. 1t
was during this holdup that he
fatally shot william Sayles, motor
man.
McWillians admitted he commit
ted six robberies before that in
which the Staying occurred.
His parents also testified in an
effort to prevent imposition of the
death penalty a second time. They
said their son had been industrious
and contributed to their support.

nection with the nationwide tree
planting campaign, which is being
made in commemoration of the
200th anniversary of the birth of
George Washington. The national
bicentennial committee has urged
that every community in the United
States plant trees during this per-

provided several hundred of these
trees, known to the Spaniards as
shower of gold" for city planting.
1t is planned, when these trees
have grown larger, to have a palo
verde festival annually, in the
spring of the year when the trees
are laden with their beautiful yel-
low blossoms. Mrs. Jones still
has liberal supply of these cham
ber trees left and she states that
they will thrive if planted any time
this spring.

What do you mean by a carrot?

It was after his release, accord

$3.50. The store proprietor ques-
toned the woman regarding the
check, and was referred to the
Negro. His telephone number was
given.
Calling the number, the store
people were informed the check
was good, and cashed it. The
woman left with the change. Later
the store proprietor discovered the
check was forgery, and notified

So he and the Bob Cat went to a

Uncle Wiggily kept an extra sup

Bad Chaps took many of the long,

These carrots the Fox and the

most of which are nothing but slender
shrubs.
They present a great temptation to
unthlnking Juveniles and to other young
sters who are just plain malicious. Par
ents should take particular pains to
warn their youngsters against molesting
trees or shrubs whether on their own
property or on the property of others.
The youngsters should be made to under
stand that it is a serious offence to re-
move or damage trees or shrubs and in
cidents of this nature should be prompt
ly punished.
This suggestion does not apply alone
to youngsters. There are older youths
and even adults, who know better, but
who cannot refrain from inflicting dam
age on the property of others These
should be dealt with by the police.
Youngsters going to school, thanks to
the interest they have taken to improve
their own grounds, are not likely to be
offenders. These will come chiefly from
those of pre-school age and others who
have reached the smart age.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S CARROTS

One day, when the Fuzzy Fox
was sitting in his den, wishing he
could think of some way to catch
Uncle Wiggily, there came a knock
at the stone door.
Hal" barked the Fox. Perhaps
that is Uncle Wiggily coming now
to be nibbled. Ha! Hal and he
hurried to the door.
Don't be silly!" spoke Mrs. Fox.
DO you think Uncle Wiggily
would be so foolish as to some to
your den?"
NO, I guess he wouldn't" agreed
the Fox. This must be someone
else coming to see me-"
And so it was, for when the Fox
opened the door of his den he saw
the Bob Cat standing there, try
ing to wave his little short tail,
but not doing it very well.
