TAXPAYERS
ECONOMY

APOLIS, Feb. %
GN.SO.-Like the report of the
emergency commission, the report
of the lay relations committee to
the department of superintend-
ence convention of the National
Education Association today de-
nounced so-called taxpayers
alliances which are handicapping
the schools by their clamor for
economy.
Submitted to the convention by
Charles S. Meek, superintendent
of schools at Toledo, the report
charged:
'Tt appears there is now an
organized attempt by those
who control great wealth to
cripple the public school system
of America.
"This attack by its subtle
propaganda enliSts thousands of
harraSSed taxpayers in leagues
militantly organized and CONT
mitted to the task of betraying
the best interests of their own
children.
Tremendous pressure is being
exerted for the elimination of
the SO-calIed fads and frills'
which in reality constitute the
fundamentals of twentieth
century education.
"ThOSe who direct this cam
paign, far removed from the
front line of attack, desire to
force the schools back into the
type of institution which they
attended in their own school
days and which has produced
the misguided leadership respon-
sible, in part at least, for our
present tragic Flight"

Takes Stand in Own De. ense Today and Tells of
 Killing Abe Hanson
(Continueo 1rom Page one)
Wife Tells of Threats

"hC 1Ciio VI nm
 Mrs. DeGroot's testimony largely bore on Hanson's attitude toward her husband during the time he spent at Hanson's cabin. She told of repeated threats she said he had made against DeGroot and one instance of Hanson drawing a revolver as if to shoot him when she intervened and prevented vio- lence.
 According to her story her hus- band was brow-beaten and sub jected to humiliation and menace during his entire stay of two days at Hanson's place. On one oc- casion, she said, Hanson declared she and her husband knew "too much about my business (moon- shining and bootlegging) and am going to kill you both"
 Sticks To Story
 She held up well under cross eXdmlldGlOll anu uldliitoAifSN N story of frequent threats made by Hanson. Asked if she had gone to Chichagof under an assumed name, she denied it.
 But this morning she was re- called to the stand by her hus- bands counsel and admitted she had assumed the name of Jose phine Garner when she left Ju- neau in August, 1882, a short time after she and her husband came here. She said she did it to pro- tect her husbands name as she was desperate and intended, if she couldn't find legitimate employ ment at Chichagof, to go into the bootlegging game.
 Menaced by Hanson
 DeGroots own testimony about his stay at Hanson'S cabin was largely a repetition of that given by his wife. He. described his trip from Chichagof to the place across a snow-filled trail to Hirst

Chichagof and then along the beach at night when he was caught by a storm and tides, forced to camp out and his final arrival at the cabin sick, weak from expos ure and almost blinded.
 After two days of intimidation by Hanson, he said, he had given in and promised Hanson if he would take him to Chichagof on his boat, he would return to Ju- neau on the Wa Wa and leave his wife with Hanson. However, he claimed. he and Mrs. DeGroot had already arranged she was to leave Hanson at the first opportunity.
 Tells of Shooting
 He gave a graphic story of the shooting. McIver and Mrs. De- Groot were leaving the cabin of the Wa Wa and Hanson was fol- lowing them up the companionway when DeGroot said he went to the foot of the steps and called to his wife. saying. Josephine, I'd like to say goodbye to you"
 Hanson. he said, exclaimed: Get back. you son of a bitch. You are not going to live to get off this boat" Abe then showed Mrs. De- Groot away and said to her: Get out of the way. I am going to kill the son of bitch
 Reaches For Gun
 DeGroot asserted Hanson then reached under his coat as if to draw a gun. DeGroot then grabbed the rifle off the wall worked the bolt, took a step or two forward and shot once. He said he then stepped into the wheel house with the rifle where he was when Mo Iver rushed back to see what had happened
 He said he asked McIver to send for the Commissioner to take charge of things. He said Han son had been packing the revolver for two days and that he didn't know he had left it aboard the other boat.
 Cross Examination Starts
 Cross examination of DeGroot was begun just before court re- cessed for noon today. He admit ted in response to a question from Asst. U. s. Attorney G. w. Folta that he had been convicted of assault with a dangerous weapon in Nevada in 1915, but denied that a gun had been used on that oc- casion.
 He was asked if he had been convicted of a crime in Princeton, B. C., in 1923 when he operated a pool room there and said he had not He was asked if it was

mt a fact that Mrs. DeGroot at that time had not left him and gone to a nearby town and lived under an alias, which he also de- nied.
 Knew Wife's Whereabouts
 He declared he had opposed his wife going to Chichagof and had urged her in numerous letters to return here. He said he knew she had gone to Hanson's place to live, that she had written him of it within two weeks after her depart ure from Juneau. She had sent him money several times from there, he admitted
 DeGroot was still under a grill ing fire of questions when court recessed at noon, and the cross examination was expected to occu- py a large part of the afternoons proceedings.

Xmas Club Members
To Receive Benefits
$50 Million Dollars to Be Distributed By 5000 Banks
in Two Weeks Time

Three hundred and fifty million
dollars will be distributed to about
eight million members of the
Christmas club by approximately
six thousand banking institutions
and organisations within the next
two weeks, according to an esti-
mate given out yesterday by Her
bert r. Rawll, founder and presi-
dent of Christmas Club, q corpora
ton.
The average amount received by
each member amounts to $4S.75.
This figure represents a slight in
crease compared with q year ago.
Considered from aeother angle, IL
all the cash in circulation in the
country were evenly divided among
our total population of one hum
dred and twenty million people,
each person would have about
$40 in-the-pocket cash. While
every member of the Christmas
club, on the average, has accumu-
lated in nickels, dimes and dollars,
during this year, a sum OF $4S.7b.
An optimistic expression is found
in many reports from all sections
from the fact that the distribution
of $350,O0O,0OO in cash within the
next two weeks will add q terrific
impetus to holiday purchases.
While several individual banks
report an actual increase over last
year, a decline in membership and
a decline in the number of par
ticipating banks, due to the bank
ing holiday earlier in the year,
have occasioned a reduction in the
total membership and in the total
fund of 20 per cent from the figure
of 1882.
Considering, however, the severe
discipline and pressure that were
applied to almost every business
during the early months of 1888,
bankers view the accomplishment
of the Christmas club, for this year
as a remarkable tribute to the
steadfastness of purpose, courage
and faith of thrifty Americans.
1t is gratifying to the manage
ment of Christmas Club, a Corpor-
alton that this years distribution
anticipates a larger expenditure for
holiday purposes this December
than a year ago. This indicates
that millions of people have aban-
doned a fear of buying and are
looking to the future with great
err confidence.
The inception of the plan and
organization OF Christmas club, %
years ago, anticipated the need of
providing an easy method of sys-
tematica.Iy accommodating funds for
the specific purpose of Christmas
requirements. It's sponsors, how
ever, in the creation and promotion
of the plan, were mindful of the
opportunity it would bring to peo-
pie of moderate means for accum-
ulating small weekly deposits for
constructive uses as well as provid-
ing extra money for Christmas.
Based on a direct-by-mail in
quiry to considerable number of
individual members of the Christ
mas club, Mr. Rawll points out that
an increasing number Of people
are becoming tax conscious and
using the facilities Of the club
