Joseph Marley, former criminal
court judge, has been advocated
openly for Cameron's bench, in
conflict with what are said to be
his own personal mayoralty ambi-
tions. His supporters charge the
bench plum is being dangled in
an effort to shelve him.
Young, ambitious and capable,
City Clerk Henry o. Goett, who
got his political start as Stacks
secretary in the mayors Office, is
receiving strong backing for both
the mayoralty candidacy and the
municipal bench.
Regarded by many old party
leaders as too young for the city
hall, Goett is believed to be the
leading candidate for seasoning
on the bench. With Marley,
Goett's opposition is in Dewey E.

MIRA is a denial of the old notion
that war, famine and peStilence are
the natural controls over the stand
ards of living. 1t is denial of the
theory that panics, defation and
bankruptcy are our only remedies
for overproductivity in industry. 1t
is a statement of new creed that
the American people, through their
self-reliance and ingenuity, can con-
troll capacity and reconstruct the

Governor Paul v. McNutt thus
defined NRA to a large crowd fol-
lowing dinner meeting here
Wednesday night The event
brought TO a close this city's cele-
bration of NRA day. The after
noon program included flve-mile
parade, witnessed by more than
10000 persons.
Tells of Social Control
Clarence A. Jackson, director OF
the state gross income tax division,
whose home is in Newcastle, ten
dered the dinner to the Governor
and community leaders backing the
NRA program.
Pointing out that so-called rug
ged individualism" turned out to
be ragged individualism" and I'M
restrained competition the death
rather than life of trade, McNutt
expounded the program of social
control as provided under the re-
covery act.
Competition was assumed to be
an inherent part of democracy" he
declared. I'VE thought that a nom
competitive world was an undemo-
cratic world. 1t was impossible to
foresee the revolutionary impact
of productive forces upon the very
institutions which they were ex-
pected to maintain"

found a machine gun and two
automaticS at his bedside, ready
for instant use. Later, Burke was
convicted of the murder of st.
Joseph CMich0 policeman and
sentenced to life in prison.
BY this time Bailey had quit
Chicagos gangs, organized an
outlaw band of his own and
turned bank robber on a big scale.
In September, 1930-according to
witnesses who have since identi-
fed him-he was the ringleader
in the 100000 robbery of the
Lincoln National bank of Lincoln,
Neb., the largest on record. He
also was accused of a string OF
other bank robberies.
In July, 1882, Bailey was sur
prised by detectives while playing
golf on a Kansas City course and
arrested. A short time later he
was sentenced to ten to fifty years
in the Kansas penitentiary for
the $32, 900 robbery Of the Citizens
bank at Fl. Dodge, Kan. At that
time he was identified in court
as the leader of the 100000 Lin
coin bank robbery.
The day before Bailey was SEN
fenced to prison, one of his attor-
neys, j. Earl Smith of Tulsa, Okla,
was lured to lonely road by a
fake telephone call, beaten and
murdered. The crime has never
been cleared up.
On Memorial day, 1888, Bailey
led ten other desperate convicts
in a daring escape from the Kan
sas penitentiary, kidnapping the
warden and two guards and hold
ing sthem as hostages until they
were released in the Oklahoma
hills several days later.
With Bailey at liberty again,
things began to happen. There
was a string of bank robberies
throughout the southwest, then
the machine gun murder of four
officers at Kansas City when des-
peradoes attempted to effect the
release of a captured pal and,
finally, the daring kidnapping of
Urschel from his palatial Okla
homa City home.
Next-Harvey Bailey's two most
daring crimes the Kansas
City machine gun massacre and
the kidnapping of an Oklahoma oil
millionaire.

IT'S far cry from the pro5aic

Uncle Sam, warned by Bailey's
recent single-handed escape from
a death cell in the Dallas (Tex)

time. Not only is Bailey hand
cuffed and shackled in such
manner that he hardly can move,
but guards armed with machine
guns surround the Jail to prevent
any possibility of Baileys escape

HUNT is STAGED
FOR DOG KILLER
Probe of Pharmacies Made
in PoiSoner Search;
Five Pets Die.

Checkup of poison sales by phar-
macies in the southeast section of
the city was being made today by
dog lovers seeking to apprehend and
punish a poisoner responsible for
deaths of at least eight pet dogs.
Cooperation of police in hating
the wholesale slaughter of valuable
pets has been enlisted by residents
in the vicinity of the 1900 block,
East Minnesota street.
Latest reported victim of the
heartless poisoner was a fox terrier
owned by B. E. Martin, 1905 Linden
street. The animal was poisoned
during the owners absence from
home, efforts of neighbors to save it
proving futile.
Four dogs died from poisoning
Tuesday and several others prior
to that.

souri,, Bailey's father and mother
still till the small farm on which
he was born and where he grew
up as big, good-natured boy who
always did we'll in school and
made friends with everybody. He
left home at an early age to take
a f1reman's job on a railroad.
The World war came along and
Bailey joined the army and went
to the front. That's where he
learned to play the machine gun
and there he met some young re-
cruits from Chicago who were to
play big part in his life later on.
With them, he formed some fast
friendships.
HOME from the war Bailey
"a came, no longer a farmer boy
or young railroad fireman, but
a six-foot man weighing more
than 200 pounds and well sea-
soned for whatever the world had
to offer.
After time on the farm, Bailey
developed desire to see some of
his wartime buddies. So he
bought one-way ticket for Chi
cago and at this point his whole
career turned.
In Chicago, Bailey found his
former army acquaintance en-
gagged in underworld pursuits and
through them began his criminal
career. He became a liquor run
ner for syndicate" smuggling
whisky from Canada by auto, and
made money fast. His inherent
traits of leadership soon mani
tested themselves and he rose
rapidly to position of power
among Chicago's gangsters.
Though member of the I'M
derworld, Bailey liked to play the
part of a gentleman. His excel
lent English-which he seldom
drops for underworld slang-stood
\ him in good stead when he
donned his golf Knockers and ap-
peared at some of the most eXclu-
sive courses in the city. He liked
to live at good hotels and put on
all the outer appearances of
wealth and refinement.
BY 1929, Bailey was deep in the
secrets of Chicago's gang leaders
and in February of that year came
the st. Valentine day massacre in
which seven gangsters we're lined
up against garage wall and
moved down by machine gun.
A short time after this crime,
Bailey returned to his rural Mis-
souri, community with a man
whom he introduced as Mr..
White" The latter, Bailey said,
was a real estate man who was
seeking a quiet place in the coun-
try to recuperate from a nervous
breakdown"
Bailey went back to Chicago and
soon thereafter Mr.. White" was
identified as Fred Burke, notorious
killer and alleged operator Of the
machine gun in the st. Valentine
day massacre. Officers were tipped
off by an amateur sleuth who ran
a filling station and had recog-
nized Burke from a picture in
detective magazine.

BY RUTH FINNEY

WASHINGTON. Sept. 81. - The
governments $500 100000 public
works fund is not being spent, and,
as a consequence, success OF the
Roosevelt industrial recovery pro
gram is being delayed seriously.
Growing concern over this sit
uation was admitted today by ad-
ministratiOn officials.
States and cities have been so
slow in taking advantage Of the
public works act that many may
lose the opportunity TO participate
to any real extent in the fund for
job-giving work. Plans for spend
ing the rest of the government
money on all-federal projects in
order that it may be used as quickly
as possible now are getting the ad-
ministration's principal attention.
For. while federal departments
also have been slow in spending the
money already allotted to them. the
tempo there can be quickened
