STUDY APPEAL
IN SLAVERY
CONVICTION

JoNESBORO, Ark, Nov. 26
Q.N.S.)-Paul D. Peacher, AZ
year-old town marshal of Earle,
Ark, was free under $4,000 bond
today while his attorneys debated
whether to appeal his conviction
in Federal Court on charges of
violating an Anti7Slavery Act Of
1866.
Peacher, who was charged by
the Government with arresting
eight negroes and forcing them to
work on land he was clearing
under contract, was convicted on
seven counts late yesterday and
Federal Judge John E, Martineau
sentenced him to two years i'm
prisonment on each count, the
sentences to run concurrently,
and fined him $500.
Judge Martineau said he would
place the marshal on probation as
far as the prison sentences are
concerned if he will pay the fine.
Peacher heatedly denied there
was anything irregular in his
working the negroes, asserting ne
had a verbal contract with Crit
tenden County, through Sheriff
Howard Curlin, for use OF the
prisoners.
The prisoners, according to the
Government charges, were con-
victed of vagrancy and then
forced to work for Peacher. De
claring he had known the negroes
a number of years, Peacher as
serted:
"They are all habitual loafers
about the streets and frequented
gambling joints"
When asked by the Government
attorneys why he had not arrested
them for gambling instead OF
vagrancy, the marshal replied:
eve don't arrest anybody over
in our county for gambling"

Algebra Formula
Helps Trap Thieves

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov.
26 O.N.SO.-Landon Jones proved
a little algebra goes a long way in
helping to catch some thieves.
Police for weeks had failed to
apprehend a gang that has been
wrecking telegraph service by the
theft of miles of copper wire on
lonely country stretches near here
until Jones, a chief telegraph op-
orator, applied his knowledge OF
algebra.
The operator sent 100 volts Of
electricity into freshly broken
line and noted the amount kicked
back" Using the amount of out
going current and the incoming
current as factors, he worked out
a formula that enabled authori-
ties to locate the break near Ham
monton.
There, police said, they found
Anthony Guglielmo, 35, of Lands
vile, perched atop a telegraph
pole and arrested him on charge
Of being one of the thieves.

COLD INAUGURAL
P[ANSLAUNCHED
Capitol Steps Are Being
Measured for Wooden
0Vercoat.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated PreSs.
In preparation for what threatens to
be the chilliest presidential Inaugural
ton on record, the Capitols steps were
being measured today for a wooden
overcoat.
The coming inaugural will be the
first Midwinter ceremony. The Norris
lame duck" amendment, ratified in
1888, shifted the Inauguration date
from March to January 20.
Weather Bureau records showed an
average temperature for that date of
33 degrees-only one point above freez-
ing-for the last 49 years. On Janu-
ary 20, 1880. the mercury sank TO nine
degrees above zero.
Traditionally the President takes his
oath of Office on a wooden platform
erected at the east portico of the Capt.
toll, but congressional attaches predict
ed that January's inaugural might be
moved inside If the weather Is un-
usually severe.
For precedent they cited President
Taft's Inauguration, which was held in
the old Supreme Court chamber in the
Capitols north wing while a blizzard
ratified the windows.
The advanced age and frail health of
several Supreme Court justices we're
mentioned as an additional argument
for an indoors ceremony.
Capitol Architect David Lynn went
ahead, however, with plans to seat
10000 spectators on the buildings
three flights of east steps and the ad-
joining roadway.
Planks will be laid over the steps. he
said, because wooden seats are a little
warmer than stone"

MANY LEGISLATIVE PROBLEMS FACE NEW CONGRESS
NEW DEAL FACES
|. MONEY PROBLEMS
Budget Balancing and Taxes
Will Be Considered
by Officials.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A multitude Of important financial
questions, ranging from budget bal
ancing and taxes to monetary prob
lens, face the new Roosevelt admin
istration.
In the foreground Of the Govern
ment fiscal picture Is the 1878
the gap between income and outgo
Of recent years will be materially
narrowed or eliminated.
With a $s22. oil 900 deficit thus far
this fiscal year. the public debt now
stands at $50. .839 900. 900. President
Roosevelt has forecast a gross deficit
Of 2,096. .996, 900 for the current fiscal
period. with the public debt showing
net increase to $34,188.543,000 by
next June 30.
Looming large as a deficit-deter-
mining factor are the Governments
emergency expenditures, which. SO
far this fiscal year, are about $780,
100000 under those Of a year ago.
United States Revenues Increase.
On the other side of the ledger,
Government revenues are increasing,
and Secretary Morgenthau predicted
recently that income from the present
tax structure would make possible IAN
early balancing of the budget and
thereafter Q rapid reduction in the
public debt"
The tax question will arise in the
next Congress, however, even should
no new levies be proposed.
Numerous excise taxes, which
yielded $500, ,000, 900 during the last
fiscal year. are scheduled to expire
by July, 1887, and Congress will have
to decide whether to continue them
The list includes levies on gasoline,
radio sets, mechanical refrigerators,
firearms and automobiles and parts.
The Joint Congressional Committee
on Internal Revenue Legislation Is
expected to make recommendations
for eliminating inequities and un-
necessary administrative difiiculties
in the present tax structure. In ad-
dition, the 1885 undistributed profits
tax may be re-examined by Congress
with q view to possible revisions.
Gold Content Of Dollar.
In the monetary field the adminis-
tration must decide whether to seek
re-enactment of statutes giving the
President special powers to vary the
gold content Of the dollar and au-
thorizing maintenance Of the $4,000
900 stabilization fund.
Continuance Of the stabilization
fund is closely tied In with the none
tary agreement by the United States,
Great Britain and France. Under the
accord the three countries are
| pledged to use stabilization funds to
prevent sharp fluctuations in inter-
national exchange.
The silver purchase program has
claimed relatively slight attention re-
Gently, but . decision must be made
buying Of the white metal.
As to money rates, private financial
experts expect the administration to
continue the easy money" policy of
the last several years.
This may be anticipated, they as
sert, because the administration will
desire further business expansion and
because the Treasury has outstanding
q large volume of short-term securi-
ties which must be refunded from
time to time.
