[ ^ OFFICERS BIE
r- Detective and Sheriff Slain in
Gun Batttle With Frisco
Toughs Submitting Young
Women to Outrages.
San Francisco, Dec. 6 (Nnited
News).—San Francisco’s effort to
wipe out the so-called Howard street
gang that has been submitting girls
to horrible outrages, was climaxed
Sunday by the killing of a detective
and the sheriff of Sonoma county and
the fatal wounding of another de
tective. The battle with the San
Francisco toughs occurred in Santa
Rosa, north of here.
The dead:
Detective Sergeant Miles Jack
son, of the San Francisco Police
force.
James Petrey, sheriff of Sono-..
ma county.
The wounded:
Detective Sergeant Lester Dor
man, probably fatally wounded.
George Boyd, a member of the
gang.
Jackson and Dorman had gone to
Santa Rosa with two girls, Jean Stan
ley and Jessie Montgomery, who were
found recently in a shack in San
Francisco’s south side. A gang of
nine men, including several San
Francisco loafers, had held them
prisoners there.
The plan Sunday was to have the
girls identify three alleged members
of the gang who had been traced to
Santa Rosa.
Four of Gang are Held.
After Sunday afternoon’s killings
four of the gang were arrested.
Trailing the police machines were a
long string of Santa Rosa autos load
ed with angry citizens who declared
their intention of avenging the death
of Sheriff Petrey. The police en
tered a room back of the Tuscans ho
tel and faced the four men. These
men fired point blank'at the peace of
ficers and Petery, Jackson and Dor
man dropped at the first shots. The
firing continued for some moments
when police reinforcements overpow
ered the gunmen.
Thugs Can't Obtain Lawyers.
Public indignation has been stirred
as seldom before in San Francisco, by
the story told by the two girls. Five
arrests were made in the case prior
to Sunday and the state of public
feeling has been indicated by the
fact that every attorney approached
has refused to defend the prisoners.

Suicide Version Seriously Con
sidered and Another
- Theory is She Was Slain
and Robbed.
Ardmore, Okla., Dec. 6.—Has Clara
Smith Hamon, alleged murderer of
Jake L. Hamon, millionaire oil man
and politician, committed suicide?
“While I will have no hand in pros
ecuting Clara Smith, no penalty Is
too severe for her, should she be
caught," declared the widow.
“After I have grown old, she comes
along with her beauty and gives me
Insults by parading with Mr. Hamon.
If the world knew her as she is they
would not continue to flaunt her name
and picture before the public.
“I can bear the hardships of it all
if they will call her by her right
name instead of using the name of
Hamon.
“She gives her age as 27 when she
really is 32.
The death of Jake Hamon adds
another link to the chain of tregedy
that seems to have encircled the fam
ily for a generation. He is the third
man of the family to die by a bullet
in 30 years. His father was shot and
killed in the streets of Sedan, Kan.,
back in the 80’s. Fifteen years ago,
in almost the same spot, Hamon’s
brother, Alonzo, was shot and killed
in much the same manner.
D’ANNUNZIO COURTS I
DEATH, SAY FRIENDS,
Urges Devoted Legionaires to
Die With Him and Tells
Others to Leave City
Rome. Dee. 6 (United News).—A
new manifesto by Gabriel D'Annun
zio, so desperate in tone that his
friends here believe he is actually
courting a spectacular death, has
been sent out from Fiume, causing a
profound sensation in Rome.
Addressed to his followers, this
manifesto calls upon all his legion
naires who are w'illing to die with
him to declare their devotion—all ■
others to leave the city.
But even if all his followers de
sert, the poet declares, he will holt
out alone, to the death, against ths .
world.
"The fatherland is endangered,” hs !
cries, “it's cause is entrusted to us.” j
The Epoca, of Rome, claims infor- ]
mation that the natives of Fiume art
at odds with D’Annunzio, as they
want to accept the settlement of the
Rapallo treaty.
Should the D’Annunzio legion
naires refuse to get out of Arbe and
Veglia, the regency will eventually
call forth armed intervention by Ju
go-Slavia, a development which ths
leading Italians say must be prevent
ed for obvious reasons.
Romo, Dec, t (United News).—
The parliamentary delegation to con
fer with Gabriel D'Annunzio in an
effort to dissuade him from his pur
pose, has arrived in Fiume.

FINAL LAP OF
i
Likely to Be Notable For Ap
propriations Work—-Wilson
May Address Bodies Tues
day—Modify Dry Act?
BY LOWELL MELLETT,
United News Staff Correspondent.
•AVashington, Dec. 6.—Washington
becomes busy and Imporant Monday;
busy certainly—important, perhaps.
With congress starting on the third
and final lap of Us 66th session, the
town is sure to be busy. But its im
portance to the nation depends on
whether or not those leaders who de
sire to have the three months chiefly
devoted to the passage of the regular
appropriation bills have their way.
Bills and resolutions are ready in
great number to commit the govern
ment to policies bearing on almost
every phase of American life; the
question is whether any of them
have a chance for enactment or adop
tion.
Further in the direction of just
being busy, the capitol will have an
opportunity to welcome and acclaim
Warren G. Harding, president-elect.
A large part of Washington has want
ed a republican president for eight
years, so tho welcome will be warm
and the acclaim loud. It is expected
to reach its crescendo in the Senate
chamber when Senator Harding takes
his seat and responds to the demand
tor a speech.
Will Wilson Appear?
The even more dramatic episode of
President Wilson's appearance before
a joint session of the two houses will
not come until Tuesday, if at all.
Whether the president intends to
abide by the advice of close friends
and abandon his purpose to deliver
his message orally, is apparently not
to be so known until the House com
mittee makes the customary call at
the White House Monday afternoon
to advise him that the congress Is
convened and ready to hear any "mes
sage that he may have to deliver.
At that time he will indicate
whether the message is to be deliv
ered Tuesday in person or by meg*
genger.
The desire to confine the sessioa
to appropriation bills is bound to meet
with great resistance. Various Is
sues have been coming to a head,
through the conferences of Senate
and House members on their legisla
tive projects and it will be difficult to
prevent consideration of these Imme
diately.
Farm Problem Molt Acute.
The situation of the farmers, with
vast crops on hand and no market for
them, presents probably the most
acute problem facing the lawmakers.
With southern democrats and western
republicans drifting together to sup
port the demand for agricultural re
lief, It is likely that important action
may be taken, although the only pro
posal on which much hope is pinned
is that for the restoration of the war
finance board to aid in establishing
an export market for farm products.
Definite action looking toward re
organization of the government de
partments seems assured, though the
action is likely to be limited to the
appointment of a commission to take
up the work of re-planning the ex
ecutive branches. Appointment of
such a commission would forestall
passage of various bills now ready
for introduction whereby new depart
ments would be created or old der
partments abolished.
Offer Taxation Measures.
Taxation measures in plenty are
ready to be offered, but leaders in
both houses are a bit chary on this
general subject. All in all it probably
is the largest question they have to
handle, and they feel it is freighted
with T. N. T. There is a disposition
for this reason, to fend off various
individual tariff bills seeking to aid
specific industries and to get them
together under the head of one bill
which will present the administra
tion’s complete tariff policy. Actual
enactment of any tariff measure, for
that reason, seems another thing that
will be willed by this congress to the
one Harding is expected to call into
session just after his inauguration.
How About Prohibition?
So it is also with proposed legisla
tion for reorganization of the diplo
matic service, for aiding the mer
chant marine, for providing a na
tional budget, for a soldier bonus, for
softening prohibition and for hard
ening the same, and for most of those
problems debated during the presi
dential campaign.
The third session of the 66th con
gress Is likely to he notable for a lot
of hard cofnmittce work on the appro
priation bills and for continuous dis
cussion without action, on all the
other issues that are properly up to
congress for determination.
Out of the committee meetings and
the debates may result crystallization
of the republican party’s policies, so
enabling the next session to do the
real work desired.

'SAVE THE FARMER.
GIVE HIM CREDIT,
IMPROVE MKT'
BERNARD M. BARUCH
Extend Funds or Consumer
Will Suffer, Declares Econo
mist Outlining Report For
Kansas Board of Agriculture.
Now York, Dec. 6 (United News).—
Bernard M. Baruch, at the request ot
the Kansas state board of agriculture,
has prepared a report for that institu
tion, outlining remedies designed to
ameliorate the plight of farmers
throughout the country.
Baruch’s Suggestions Summed Up.
Briefly ills recommendations may
be summed up as follows:
1. —Creation of adequate, mod
ern storage facilities under pub
lic supervision
2. —(V ! ation of farm pro
duel; to grade and amount by
liccii .1 graders and weighers.
U Use of certificates, issued
by lie graders and weighers, as
th ■ basis of sales and purchases,
as well as the basis of financing,
4. —Reservation of a fair share
of the credits of banking and fi
nancial institutions during cer
tain period for crop movement.
5. —Collection and distribution
to farmers of all market informa
tion through trained experts by
the agricultural department,
this information to be of the kind
and character now in the posses
sion of buyers and consumers of
farmers' products.
6. —Creation of a now source ol
credit for the farmer, namely the
private investor, by establish
ment of financing corporations to
make loans on warehouse re
ceipts.
On Buying and Selling.
Baruch goes into the subject of co
operating in buying and selling on the
part of the farmers and his views are
of interest both because of his inter
national reputation as an economist
and because of the present pressing
problem facing the farmers of the
country, say financiers and well
known farmers.
“The farmer," says Mr. Baruch,
“now finds liimseif in the predica
ment of having a crop partially cut
off from its normal market, former
trade routes limited and unablo to
finance himself unless he is willing
to sell his products at very great sac
rifice, in many instnees well below
the cost of production. If necessary
credit Is not extended so that the
farmers may secure a reasonable re
turn for their efforts, they will suffer
very severely and restrict their ef
forts. And the consumer, who Is vi
tally concerned In the maintenance
of a normal flow of products, will
suffer In the end.
“Certain things must be done and
the theory of my recommendations to
the Kansas agriculture body Is that
In the marketing of Ills products, the
producer must be placed on an equal
footing of equal opportunity with the
bnuyer.”
Emphasizes Sufficient Warehouses.
The cornerstone of the whole sub
ject Mr. Baruch holds to be suffici
ent storage warehouses for cotton,
wool and tobacco, or elevators for
grain at primary points to carry the
peak load In the distribution of the
product. These storage facilities
should be “preferably under private
ownership” but in event private capi
tal Is lacking, "should be under state
ownership” and, tn all events, under
state or federal supervision.
The weighing and grading of pro
ducts. which Mr. Baruch terms “cer
tification," he says should be so
hedged about that underpayment
overcharging and unfair grading will
be avoided. The certification then
“will be the basis of the sale, or. In
case the producer does not wish to
sell, It should be and could be made
the basis on which be could borrow
money until he Is ready to sell.”
Plan to Enable Borrowing.
Because the farmer now Is at a dis
advantage because his products move
to market when there is .a great con
gestion both in the money market and
traffic conditions, Mr. Baruch would
have arrangements made whereby the
farmer could “borrow a reasonable
amount properly margined upon the
products of hts farm," thus enabling
him to sell his products when the
market will take them.
Mr. Baruch explain^ he does not
wish to question either the motives or
usefulness of the. factors now partici
pating in the marketing of crops,
“but unquestionably the farmer must
be placed In a position to deal on an
equal basis with those who buy and
market his crops."
For example, he explains that bank
ers. promoters, speculators and Job
bers “can always obtain cheaper
credit than the farmpr.” To change
this lie would eliminate the present
custom of forcing the farmer to bid
for his share of credit and have set
aside for his use by the financial In
stitutions a certain percentage of the
credit facilities for movement of
crops. ,
Loans on Warehouse Receipts.
In connection with the establish
ment of necessary warehouse facil
ities. Institutions or corporations
oouffl be established says Mr. Baruch,
“to make loans on the warehouse re
ceipts. They should lie large enough
and so officered that they would gain
the confidence of the investing pub
lic. Their capital stock should he
open to public subscription. They
could he made co-operative hut need
not necessarily he so.”

AMMUNITION
BOAT AFIRE;
SIX INJURED
New York, Dec. G (United News!.—
With a continuous rumble like the
report of a six-inch machine gun, the
ammunition barge, Massakan, tied up
at the dock at Fort Hamilton, wont
up in flames Sunday night, shaking
the earth for miles around and il
luminating the sky with fireworks
like those of an exploding ammuni
tion dump at the front. The barge
was moored only 100 yards from a
large naval magazine.
Six persons were reported to have
been injured.
Residents Flee for Lives.
The barge was Anally driven into
the beach where two (ire boats from
a very discreet distance squirted
streams into tho open hatches. Two
other barges which lay close by the
burning one were set adrift with their
cargoes of explosives and saved. Tin
burning barge was said to contain
six-inch shells.
The police lines about the fort
were extended to keep people several 1
blocks away. Residents of neighbor- j
ing streets fled for their lives, fear- j
Ing the fire would set off the maga
zine.
The pier was badly damaged.
Two members of the Massakan’s
civilian crew are missing. About 10
persons were hit by flying shrapnel,
five of them being occupants of an
automobile which was struck by a
descending shell.
Shell Plunges Through House.
One 10-inch shell plunged tie ugh
the roof and two floors or a work
man’s cottage, burying itself in lie
cellar floor. The family was in the
house, but none was injured.
Ool. Alfred A. Hunter, com

New York, Dec. 6 (Special).—
The reported withdrawal of Ar
gentina’s delegates from tho
League of Nations assembly
came after they had been ac
cused of having a secret under
standing with Germany, of hav
ing pledged themselves to look
after German interests and of
having agreed to help Germany
obtain membership in the league,
says a cable received in-New York
city on Sunday from Geneva.
Delegates from other nations, tne
cable continues, spotted this al
leged conspiracy of the Argentine
delegation, and forced tho breach.
Buenos Aires, Dec. 5 (United
Nows).—Argentine, as indicated by
comment by Its pt-t-ss, was both con
fused and Irritated at the Geneva dis
patches telling of withdrawal from the
League of Nations assembly by tho
Argentine delegates.
In the silence of the government
there was no indication as to how e
riotts or far-reaching was the rift
between the republic and the league.
La Prensa reported that Toledo Al
vear, Argentine minister to Franco,
had resigned. This was interpreted
in some quarters as possibly indicat
ing this diplomat found his position
untenable in view of his government’s
attitude.
Argentina Definitely Out?
Belief was expressed by tho Stan
dard that Argentina wns now defi
nitely out of tho league, while La Ra
ton declared tho delegates might
withdraw from the assembly but that
would not mean Argentine was with
drawing from the league.
La Epoea, the government organ,
r< fused to print any of the dispatches
from Geneva received Saturday and
made no editorial comment.
LEAGUE LOOKING
TOWARD UNITED STATES
Geneva, Dec. 0 (United News).—
When the League of Nations assem
bly reconvenes on Monday the lead
ers must then decide whether the
huger powe rs -Kngland, France, Italy
and Japan—are to retain control of
the lcnsruo, or whether the smaller
l . MonnUties are to exercise eijual
influence.
In taking action which will actually
result in breaking the present con
t el of the league, or possibly break
ing the league itsdf, must pass on
Argentine’s demand for adoption of
amendments, backed up by threat of
lmr (b legates to leave Geneva, and at
tV* same time pas . upon the proi ail
of Charles ,T. Doherty. Canadian dele
gate. to eliminate article 10 from the
covenant.
The first Argentine proposal, to
elect the council by the assembly,
would ntean placing control "f the
league in the hands of the smaller
nationalities, as they have a majority
i*» the assembly.
The proposal to admit all recognize <1
states into the league, would mean
the immediate admission of Germany.
And to this France has declared she
will never assent. Adoption of this
proposal probably would be followed
by the French delegation leaving tho
assembly.
There is no doubt that at this crit
ical time, there is considerable look
ing toward America.
Absence of America from thft
league session here is regarded by
many ns the really basic cause. for
the Argentinian defection.
