MANY ATTEND
MASON'S RITES
Assistant Postmaster for
Long Period, Is Laid to
Rest Here

Funeral services for J. A. Ma
son, assistant postmaster Of the
Hendersonville office, were held
yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock
at the First Baptist church.
Mr.. Mason died at his home on
Sunday evening about 1890 as
the result of a sudden heart at
tack. He was in his 9th year at
the time of his death and had
been a resident of Hendersonville
for "a years, during which time
he had been connected with the
local post office. For a number
fof years he had been assistant
postmaster, and would have re-
tired from the service in a few
years.
His death was sudden and un-
expected. He apparently was in
his usual health just prior to his
death. He had attended evening
services at the Baptist church, Uf
which he was a member, and re-
turned to his home. He was
stricken with a sudden heart at
tack and died within a few min
utes.
The services yesterday after
noon were largely attended. They
were in charge of the Rev. B. A.
Jones, pastor of the Baptist
church, who was assisted by the
Rev. E. E. Bomar, of Tryon, a
former pastor of the church here,
and DR.. Rufus Ford.
Special music was rendered by
a quartet composed of A. F. Bar.
Der, Roy c. Bennett, Mrs. B. A.
Egerton and Mrs. J. F. Brooks.
This quartet sang "My Jesus As
Thou Art" and "No Night There"
The quartet was accompanied by
Miss Mary Brooks at the organ,
and for the professional Miss
Brooks used GLOW Firm a Foun-
dation,' and "Asleep in Jesus"
for a occasional.
Interment followed the services
at the church in Oakdale ceme-
terry.
Pallbearers were C. L. Grey, A.
Flicker, R. Il. Station, w. H. Gale,

Government Ready To Spend
Another Billion Dollars For
Construction, Improve Homes
Administration To
Be In Charge

WASHINGTON, June 20. (UP)
The organization which will adj
minister the billion dollar housing
program to revive the construction
industry is taking form in advance
of President Roosevelt's signature
of this latest emergency measure.
Harry L. Hopkins will be named
director of this program and the
United Press is informed he in
tends to delegate actual admins
tration to Corrington Gill, now
FERA director Of statistics re-
search.
WASHINGTON, June 20 (UP)
Hundreds of millions of federal
public works funds soon will be
shot out through the country in
a new offensive against unemploy-
ment.
With the government leading
the way, the administration hopes
private capital will invest perhaps
81 900, 100000 for housing mod
ernization and construction in the
campaign to create jobs and give
the building industry another
tonic.
Public Works Administrator
Harold l.. Ickes received definite
assurances from the White House
that VIVA would be given $780,
100000 of the huge funds voted
by congress just before it adj
journed. About S150,000,000 is
earmarked for federal works,
leaving s350,0o0,o0o for state
and local projects. Ickes said yes
terday he hoped to allocate all the
money in a month. PWA prob
ably also will receive $250,000,-
600 of RFC funds.
While Ickes, the administra-
tion's No. 1 spender, hands out
this money, organization will be
perfected for the housing CAM
paign in which the government
partially will guarantee private
loans.
The drive will be launched with
a promotion campaign similar to
that which NRA's Blue Eagle took
off last summer. Appointment of
Ward M. Canaday, president Of
the United States Advertising
Corp, Toledo, O., to direct the
promotion is reported imminent.
Relief Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins is deemed the presidents
likely choice to head the whole
campaign.
Ickes Immediately was bonn
barded with pleas for slices of the
new public works money. A dele
CATION headed by Senator Hiram
Johnson, Representative Harry
Englebright and California PWA
Engineer Edward Hyatt sought
S127,000,000 for great central
valley power and conservation
program in California. This will
not be granted.
Contract for first construction
work on the All-American canal
in the Imperial and Coachella val
legs of California is to be award
ed today. PWA has allotted ST.
100000 for this project. The first
contract will cover removal Of 30
miles of earth and work below the
Imperial canal.

FEDERAL INCOME EXCEEDING
BILLION MARK FOR YEAR
Britain Passing Law for Seizure Of German Credits;
German Reprisals Would Follow Similar
Step by United States

Before congress adjourned the
president ascertained from Attor-
ney General Homer S.. Cummings
that authority existed to seize
German credits in this country. 1t
was contained in the, exchange
act.
For the present the United
States has no intention of using
this power, but will hold it in re-
serve while representations are
made for modification of the Ger
man DEGREES.
State department officials said
it was impracticable to attempt
to seize German credits because
America exports more goods to
Germany than it buys there. That
means our credit in Germany is
much larger than hers in this
country.
German officials have indicated
reprisals would be taken immedi-
ately if the United States opens
retailatory measures. -

DEMOCRATS TO
STAGE ANNUAL
MEET JUNE Il
Expected to Give Ehring-
haus Blanket Okeh;
Shun Dry Issue
By ]. c. Baskerville
The Tfmes-Ne~s Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIRGH, June ZU. - Inc
state Democratic convention IS
expected to be little more than
the usual Democratic pep meeting
which it usually becomes in off
wears. when it meets here Thurs
day and is not expected to take
any definite stand on any of the
more controversial subjects in the
state, unless it is found exped-
lent to put a plank in the state
platform favoring the retention
of prohibition, according to most
observers here. If the Piedmont
and western counties where there
is always a close contest between
the Democrats and Republicans
want a prohibition plank in order
to hold their counties Democratic,
the chances are one will be In
serted in the platform. Other
wise, the chances are that pro-
hibition will be mentioned as
briefly as possible, according to
opinion here.
Hardly any one believes that
the resolutions present to the
convention will mention the sales
tax, the proposed new constitu.
ton, or advocate the repeal OF
the burlington act, the states
prohibition enforcement law, how
ever. since most observers agree
that the mentioning of any OF
these questions would be hkely
to ignite some political dynamite.
A good many even doubt II the
resolutions will attempt anything
like a detailed endorsement OF
the administration of Governor
J, C. B. Ehringhaus. although
thew will, of course. give 1t the
usual blanket endorsement. For
while the governor and his
friends might be able to muster
enough strength to secure detail
ed endorsement of his admins
tration so far, including the sales
tax, the department of revenue
reorganization, the new scnooi
law, the proposed new constltu-
ton and other things, most oo-
servers agree that it will be pet,
ter policy and better political
strategy not to mention any OF
these by name, since to do SO
would be certain to stir up some
thing of a hornets nest.
For while Governor Ehrlngnaus
has a strong following over the
state, he still has some very
strong opposition, it is agreed
here. The anti-sales takers are
| still hot on his trail and blaming
him with personal responsibility
for the sales tax, despite the tac'
that the tax was imposed by the
1898 general assembly rather
than by the governor. There are
others who have been and stll
are bitterly displeased with MI
appointment of DR.. NJ. c. s. No

 While it generally is agreed among senators and representatives that Alaska fared better in the past session in obtaining beneficial legislation than ever before, the delegates staff is preparing bills which will have a much more far reaching effect, not only in the Territory but in the Pacific north west if passed.
 Among the m aj or measures which Dimond will attempt to push through are appropriations for the construction of the proposed inter- national highway, construction of an army air base near Fairbanks, naval base in Southeastern Alas ka or in the Aleutians, and trans ferring of regulations for the fish ing industry over to the Territory,

 Sometime during the early hours Sunday morning, Lindoff, according to Phillips, said he was matched for boxing match with one Paul Ru- dolph. Phillips, who claims to be something of a boxer himself, told Lindoff he didn't have a chance against Phillips. and the argument started
 It finally grew so warm that Lin doff, Phillips claims, undertook to prove his prowess by attacking him. He succeeded so well, that Phillips asserts he had to use a pocketknife to save himself from serious injury. Lindoff was cut in three places. Two were superficial cuts. one on the left breast and the other on the right breast. A third wound pene- trated the region of the solar plex- us and is said to have entered the heart.
 Deputy Marshal Bryant, who had arrived in Hoonah Saturday after noon with another prisoner for trial before Commissioner Williams. was called to the scene and placed Phil lips under arrest. The Commissioner was notified and immediately i'm paneled a coroner's jury which re- turned a verdict that Lindoff died as the result of knife wounds in- flieted by Phillips. Judge Williams held a hearing later in the day and bound him over to the Federal grand jury without bail.
