FARM BATTLE
MAKES GAINS
Campaign To End Tax Sales
And Foreclosures Spreads
Throughout Nation

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 13. (U.p)
"A campaign by the nations farm
interests to halt tax sales and
mortgage foreclosures appeared to
be gaining momentum today.
So serious has the farmers
plight become that many state leg
islatures planned immediate con-
sideration of the matter with a
view to enacting relief legislation.
From practically all sections OF
the country have come reports OF
organization meetings at which
resolutions demanding relief were
adopted.
At some of the meetings plans
were announced to march on state
legislatures in an effort to draw
public attention to the demands.
The Famers' Holiday association
of Nebraska counties announced a
farm march" on the state capitol
February 1916 to seek enactment
of legislation for a moratorium on
debts and mortgage foreclosures.
Association leaders said $4,000
farmers would be in Lincoln those
two days.
In Iowa more than 1000 farmers
met at Lemars and approved a
march on the legislature.
Several acts of physical violence
already have occurred at tax sales,
and farm leaders feared more
should relief not be afforded.
At Lemars representative of the
New York Life Insurance company
virtually was threatened wit h
lynching and dragged down the
courthouse steps for bidding less
than the full deficiency on a farm
property at tax sale. .,.-~-
In Holdenville, Okla, two deputy
sheriffs were attacked and beaten
when they attempted 10 take live
stock from a farmer for payment
of delinquent taxes.
Farmers at Ellsworth, Kans. let a
foreclosure sale on farm proceed
only when the mortgage holder
agreed to bid the full amount OF
the indebtedness plus the legal
costs.
Sale of a farmers stock ana
equipment at Doylestown, Pa, to
satisfy ar $1,000 judgment brought
only S1.18. The stock and equip
ment was returned to the afrmer
after the sale.

VAN NUYS, Calf, Jan. 13. W.P)
Four men were held by federal au-
thorities today as asserted members
of an aerial rum smuggling gang.
Customs agents pounced upon
them last night at Metropolitan

40 cases of liquor from an airplane
into two large sedans, officers said.
The plane valued at $4,000, and
both machines were confiScated.
The liquor was valued at $4,000.
Acting on a tip from the under
world, Customs Agents C. B Dunn
and several aides lay in wait at
the airport several hours. Dunn
said shortly before midnight, the
two cars drove up, a few minutes
before the plane swooped to a
landing. The cargo was being
transferred when the agents placed
the quartet under arrest on charges
of violating the tariff and snug
Cling laws.
The suspects gave their names
as Dave Lane, 1858 Rosedale ave-
nue., Glendale, and Charles Bur-
roughs, Alfred Roberts and Dan

NEW CURRENCY
PLAN FORMED
Non-Partisan House Group
Sponsoring Three Billion
Dollar Initiation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. U.H -
A powerful non-partisan house
group today moved to force
through congress drastic cur
rency deflation plan which may
eventually mean the issuance oi
81, ,000, ,000, 900 in new currency.
The proposal was approved last
night in a secret caucus by &c
members of a so-called sub-com-
mittee of the initiation bloc. II
will be presented tonight to the
full group said to number more
than 100.
1t was considered possible that
the house initiation group might
join hands with senators who have
been conducting a filibuster tc
force consideration of the infla-
ton issue and direct relief pro-
poSals.
Meanwhile the house judiciary
committee considered in secret ses-
sion drastic bankrupt bill, view
ed in some quarters as a counter
proposal to initiation.
The committee decided to speed
consideration and will ask permis-
sion of the house to meet in vir-
tually continuous session.
The bankruptcy plan, sponsored
by President Hoover and respon.
sible Democratic leaders, would at
tempt to ease the burden of ma.
tional debts through scaling
down process.
The initiation proposal represent,
a coordination of many such cur.
rency plans which have been be.
fore the house and senate in the
form of bills and resolutions.
1t would provide for the issu.
ance of $1,00O,000,O00 in one PEI
cent bonds to the federal reserve
banks which in turn would ISSUE
currency to be turned over to the
treasury.

would be issued. A third expan
sion movement would take place
after $50 days, providing the com
modify price index had not beer
driven up by the initiation to 81
per cent of the 1929 level.
The new currency would be is

WIFE ACCUSES
GERALD CRAIG

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13. up =
Bitter recriminations fell from the
lips of Mrs. Ethel Craig today as
her husband, accused of plotting
her death, faced arraignment.
The husband, Gerald A. Craig,
former World war and gridiron
hero was charged with attempted
murder in complaint issued last
night by Wayne Jordan, deputy
district attorney. Jordan acted af-
ter the county grand jury passed
up the case.

hired himself as the executioner
for $780,
Narrating a recent quarrel with
her husband over another Wo-
man." Mrs. Craig accused him of
staging three recent robberies at
their home to promote his activi-
ties.
The accusations drew proteste- >
tions of innocence from ner hus-
band.
81 still love Ethel" the 39-year-
old garage foreman said. II did not
plan this horrible crime neither did
I rob her,"
Mrs. Craig said she separated
briefly from her husband several
weeks ago after quarrel. She said
she received an anonymous tele-
phone call, urging her to go to an
address where she would find him
keeping a rendezvous with a wo-
man. She said she refused but later
confronted her husband and they
quarreled The disagreement later
was patched up in an attorneys
office.
The 40-year-old woman, who is
joint beneficiary of a $4,000 in
heritance, recalled he kissed her
five times on the day police say
she was marked for death. Detec-
tives quoted her as placing great
stress on the kisses which they said
convinced her of the truth of the
plot charges.
Mrs. Craig said several bottles
of expensive perfume, clothing and
her purse, containing the certifi-
cate of ownership of their car, were
stolen recently.
MY husband admitted to me
that he had borrowed money on the
car, right after the purse was stol-
en-" she said. II know there is an
other woman, someone who has
played a leading role in his life re-
Gently. He spent money lavishly on
me and I feel he did the same with
