THREE EASPOSSE
BATTLES FARMER
Six Others Shot Before In
dianan, BarriCaded in
Home, Ends Life.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GARY. Ind, January IA COR
oners physician decided today that
Mike Lantare, 67-year-old farmer.
committed suicide in his barricaded
home after he had killed two men and
stood off scores of police and deputies
for hours.
Six others were wounded during the
battle.
The physician. Dr. J. r. Doty. said
a medical examination showed the
crazed farmer had held the muzzle of
.38-caliber pistol against the roof Of
his mouth and sent bullet through
his brain.
There were seven other wounds, ap-
parently fl I'm machine gun bullets
fired by the deputies, DR. Doty said,
but the pistol bullet was the one that
caused death. He said the other
wounds probably would have proved
fatal eventually
The other two victims. both shot by
Lantare in the battle which began. late
yesterday afternoon, were SherifsRoy
Holley, 43, of Lake County. and Louis
Buettner, 70, of nearby Ross, an unin-
corporated town.
The list of injured by fire from Lam
tare's shotgun as he turned it upon
every one who attempted to come near
the house in which he had barricaded
himself, were: Deputy Sheriff Edward
Rogers. Policeman Edward Haacak, De-
tective Ralph Bogardus. Detective Opie
Cross, Detective George Methentes and
Othel Caldwell, street car conductor
all Of Gary
Their injuries were minor gunshot
wounds, officials declared
The cause of the battle, which brought
police reserves from adjoining counties
and crowds of citizens grew out OF
what apparently was trivial argument
over ownership of a tree. But before
it was finished an armored truck had
been put into action and tear gas
bombs had been thrown by officers.
As Lantare's body was brought out
his two daughters, Nancy, 20. and
Laura ID, were standing nearby. They
had fled when their father started
shooting and had watched The battle
! from a neighborng farm house.

He is satisfied that the Democrats
have a plan for balancing the budget
by economy, tax on legalized beer and

position Of which Congress is still
quarreling.
In an address last night, Mr. Roose-
yelt touched on the unemployment
problem.
"One of the country's leading econo-
msts." he said, was telling me the
other day that there are at present
2,OC0,o00 unemployed in the country
that is, workers out of work. In 1929
when things were going ahead appar-
emily at full speed. there were well over
100000 out of work
H0n0red at Dinner.
If every factory wheel in the coun-
try were turning at full speed today we
should still have 5000,0 900 unemployed.
when prosperity comes back-and it
is coming back-what are we going to
do with that 100000? We have got
to restore the balance of population,
get them out of the big centers of
population. so that they will not be de-
pendent on home relief, or call it what
you will
The speech was given at a dinner in
Mr.. Roosevelt's honor, arranged by
Barron G. Collier, in recognition Of the
President-elect's services for 10 years
as president OF the Boy Scout Founda-
ton Of Greater New York. MIR. Roose-

Special Dispatch TO Ihe star.
LEONARDTOWN Md. January IL
Seeking some clue out Of the past which
might give them a new lead, detectives
probing the bomb murder of Miss Ida
Kirk late yesterday questioned the
elderly spinster's minister, Rev. Joseph
P Gibson, pastor of Christ Episcopal
Church at Chaptico.
Miss Kirk, who was 73 years old, had
been a member of the church since
infancy and an intimate friend of the
pastor and his wife since they came TO
the parish more than II years ago.
Investigators questioned Rev. Gibson
to learn If he knew any one bearing a
personal grudge against Miss Kirk,
killed January 7, when bomb wrecked
her automobile.
st. Marys County authorities are be-
lieved to haze taken fragments of Miss
Kirk's automobile to the chemical
laboratories of the United States Bureau
Of Mines at Pittsburgh The pieces were
brought to the Bureau of Mines in
Warrington in an attempt to identify
the type Of explosive in the bomb but
proper facilities were not available In
the Capital for making the tests.
Friends of Miss Kirk says she planned
to move from her farm. Sunnyside, in
ST Marys County. where she was born
and lived her entire life. to La Plata
because she was tired" of the response
bility of keeping up the 3o0-acre place.
She had rented the land to tenant
farmer and built a bungalow in La
Plata, evidently with the intention OF
moving in a few months. Miss Kirk,
police were told, had expressed the in
tention of cutting off the colored
servants living on the place after ex-
periencing increasing difficulty in main
tanning order among them.
Two colored men arrested on the Kirk
place shortly after the murder still
were in custody here today as witnesses.

would be all right with him"
"At his solicitation" Smith related, Il
met the Governor yesterday in New
York.
Roosevelt Frank in Stand.
"He said very frankly With reference
TO this bill that he hoped the committee
would sse fit to eliminate all the prod
ucts that have been put in except the
two major crops-cotton and wheat.
After a discussion, he said that 1t
was his idea-that his first idea was
to try it on one products. namely, wheat
4 called his attention TO the fact that
cotton-unlike wheat-is 60 per cent
exported, only 40 per cent being used in
this country, and that under the pres
ent principles of the bill it would not
have the same effect to the growers as it
would have on wheat, NEST OF which IS
consumed in this country.
He did insist that before this session
is over there should be farm relief
measure enacted" Smith said.
He said that he had insisted early
In the Summer that if the represent
atives Of the farmers got together
and he insisted they should get to-
gether-and worked cut a plan that
was what they wanted, he would go
along with them. and that this prlncl-
pie involved in this bill was the one
they had agreed upon"
Another Democratic member Of the
Agriculture Committee. Senator Kend-
rick Of wyoming said as the group
went into executive session:
Il think they will limit it to two
products, wheat and cotton.
I don't think they intended in the
House to have it apply TO more than
about three products
Executive Session Tomorrow.
The committee meeting on the bill
lasted only about half an hour. Chair
man McNary said all that was done was
to decide to hear in executive session at
10 am. tomorrow the views of Repre-
sentative Jones, Democrat, of Texas,
House sponsor of the bill; Frederick Lee,
attorney for farm organizations, and
Eric Englund, assistant chief of the
Federal Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nolnicS
McNary explained that members felt
the first step in their consideration
should be to find out exactly how the
measure would operate.
No definite decision was reached on
the question of limiting the commodi-
ties covered by the bill, although this
was discussed Also talked about con-
siderably, but not decided was whether
public hearings should be held.
Jones Declines Comment.
Chairman jones of the House Agri-
culture Committee declined any COM
ment on Smiths statement.
THE bill is now in the hands Of the
Senate" Jones said. Let the Senate
pass the bill it believes best and We will
work it out in conference"

Ticulture Committee expressed surprise
