HOOVER FAILURE SAYS HOUSE
Springfield. Mo., Jan. 8. Jouett
Shouse, chairman of the democratic
national executive committee, in a
speech prepared for delivery here
Thursday night called Herbert Hoo
ver "a failure a3 President" and said
it was quite possible "we democrats
shall have to organize both houses
of congress" this year.
The democratic leader called upon
bis party to find a successful method
of dealing with commercial disturb
ances, Ke pointed to the federal re
serve act in the field of finance as an
example of what could be done.
"It is doubtful," Shouse said,
addressing a Missouri Jackson
day banquet, "if any administra
tion since the government was
inaugurated has compassed in
two years so little constructive
accomplishment as has this ad
ministration." Terming the present economic situ
ation "the Hoover panic." Shouse
said "the crash would not have been
so great, the disaster not so deadly
and the misery not so long continued
had Mr. Hoover not lulled the coun
try into a false sense of security and
encouraged people to ignore the dan
ger signals that are so apparent in
retrospect.
Referring to the democratic gains
in the last general election, Shouse
predicted "We will take over the gov
ernment two years from now and we
will retain it as long as we deserve
to."
SAYS MERGER PREVENTED

Louisville, Ky.. Jan. 8. James B.
Brown, former president of the Ban

said at the first hearing of his cred
Itora today he hart tentatively plan
ned a merger of the Bancokentucky
Company and the Trans-America
company of New York, a Giannini

of Kentucky responsible for the
meeting of the clearing bouse as
sociation that ended in closing the
bank" frustrated the transactions.

of three of
the leading aspirants from S. H.

The three given the federation's
approval are: Arthur J. Weaver, who
retired Thursday as governor of Ne

ington. 111., farmer and former rep
resentative in congress, and Ernest
Moore of Cedar Rapids. Ia.. banker
and farm owner.
While all three were approved, it
is understood that they were listed
by Mr. Thompson in the order nam
ed, indicating that ex-Govereor
Weaver was first choice: Mr. Funk
second choice and Mr. Moore third
choice.
Among active candidates who fail

YOUTHS SENT TO PRISON
Kansas City Two members of a
juvenile gang were in prison Thurs
day night, sentenced to serve their,
lives there, and authorities prepar
ed to act against others whom they
accused of affiliation with the Kan
sas City organization. Everett Hal
diman. seventeen years old slayer of
John Seibel. Tyro, Kans.. filling sta
tion attendant, began Thursday his
life sentence in Kansas state peni-
tentiary. Officials said he probably
would work in the twine plant or the
tailor shop rather than the prison
mines, because of his youth.
In Kansas City. Homer Baldwin,
identified by police as a member of
Haldiman's gang, was sentenced to
life at Missouri state penitentiary
I for first degree robbery. "You ap
jpear an extremely cold blooded young
man to me," commented Judge Clar
lence A. Burney, "and I am going to
sentence you to life in the state
penitentiary."
Fern McNabb, fourteen, of Kan
sas City. Kans., who was arrestn!
with Haldiman. Ray Willis Harley.
seventeen, and Aletha Rush, fifteen,
of Sioux City, Iowa, in Dallas last
month, were returned to Independ
ence. Kans., Thursday to face- ju
venile delinquency charges. She had
been brought to Kansas City to ap-
pear before a grand jury. Aletha i
Rush also was to face delinquency j
counts, the prosecutor's office said.
SEES BETTER TIMES AHEAD
New York Paul M. Warburg, in
ternational banker, predicted Thurs
day that "a few years hence the level
at which some of our securities -ell
today will look as incomprehensibly
low as the prices paid for the same
securities seemed unreasonably high
long before the crash occurred in Oc
tober, 1929." Mr. Warburg, one of
the organizers of the federal reserve
system, making his annual report anil
address to the directorates of the
Manhattan company, of which he is
chairman, and its banking affiliates,
discussed the causes and lessons of
the depression.
Wall street recalled that Mr. War
burgh had been one of the compar
atively small group of leading bank
ers which was frankly concerned
over the boom in security prices sev
eral months before the crah of the
autumn of 1929.
"Comparatively.' brief periods of
underproduction in a country con
taining over 120.000,000 tempera
mentally enthusiastic customers must
bring about a certain revival of busi
ness activity," he said Thursday. He
did not attempt to forecast the date
of the depression's end, however.
NEW YORK BANDITS SOUGHT
New York The only description
police had Thursday of the four men
who robbed Lita Cray Chaplin and
Georges Carpentier early Thursday
was Carpentier's: "They were drug
store cowboys."
"Drugstore cowboys" or not. the
four young gunmen escaped with
$14,000 worth of jewels Belonging
to the actress, divorced wife of Char
les Chaplin. C:irpenlier. one time
light heavyweight champion of the
world and now. like Mrs. Chaplin,
a person of the footlights, was more
fortunate. He had only $30 with
aim. Mrs. Chaplin also lost $15 in
cash.
The shock of the holdup, which
came as the climax of a brief kid
naping, left Mrs. Chaplin distraught
and hysterical. The robbery occurred
in Mrs. Chaplin's automobile, com
mandeered for the purpose by the
thugs.

3 Plaiis
on Stats Banks
Advocates Income Ttvx in His Ad
dress at Inaugural Visitors
Pack House Chamber
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 8. Advocacy
of a state income tax and offering
of the idea of state owned savings
bankn as one of three suggestions
in the bank problem were among
aighlights in the. inaugural messaft
this afternoon of Governor Charles
W- Bryan.
The message followed inaugural
ceremonies which found the vaulted
chamber of the house of r -preseiiLa-tives
far from large enough to accom
modate the hundreds who crowded
into the capitol. Many were turner
away disappointed, unable to wit
ness the program marking the change
from the hands of Governor Weaver
to those of Governor Bryan of affairs
of the state government.
Bryan suggested the establishment
and operation of state owned savings
banks as one suggestion, expressing
personal favor for re-enaennent of
the original guaranty fund law, and
outlining also a plan to require banks
to put up sufficient securities to pro
tect their depositors, similar to re
quirements now made of insurance
i-ompa.iiics.
The state banking pla.i he de
scribed would he similar to the pos
tal savings system of the federal
government. Under such a system,
he said, the state would become re
sponsible for the safety or deposi
tors' money. The state could then
make loans to banks providing suit
able security or invest depositors'
money in governmental bonds and
securities.
For Muny Gas Stations.
Outstanding among the governor's
other recommendations were t he re
peal of the code and intangible tax
laws, the enactment of n state In
come tax. preservation and streng
thening of the primary election laws,
elimination of the party circle, gov
ernmental development of water
power, jury service for women and a
general enactment permitting cities
and towns to establish munieip;;!
gasoline station with the co-operation
of the state.
Opposition to increasing the gas
oline tax and the proposal that all
road building supplies and materials
be purchased by the state and thence
supplied to the contractors, featured
his discussion of state highway prob
lems. Commenting generally on the fu
ture highway program he said:
"The question of good roads
continues to more and more im
press itself upon the minds of
our people. The extension of the
use of automobiles, busses a 'id
trucks, revolutionizing the
means of transportation, makes
-It necessary for Nebraska to
keep abreast of the commercial
needs by providing adequate
roads as rapidly as the tax
payers of the state feel they can
provide the financial means."
Cites Wisconsin Tan Law.
In recommending the enactment
of
in
an income tax. he said. "I am not
favor of a state income tax for
the purpose of finding new sourcor,
of revenue, but I do believe it is
equitable and fair to enact xi reason
able income tax law ror the purpc3c
of reducing the taxes on fnrm.i and
homes to the amount of the income
tax collected. He referred the legis
lators particularly to the Wiscon
sin law which is based to a consid
erable extent on the federal law.
Urging the legislature to petition
congress to build one or more reser
voirs for storage of flood water in
western Nebraska, he added that a
law should be enacted permitting the
development of water power by ir
rigation and governmental districts.
Hits Indeterminate Sentence.
Turning to "this apparent crime
wave," which, he held, was largely
aggravated by unemployment. Gov
ernor Bryan recommended increas
ing the penalties for major crimes.
He urged that indeterminate sen
tences be abolished and that, for
"crimes of violence." such as assault,
robbery by violence and putting In
fear highway holdups anl bank rob
bery with firearms, the minimum
sentence be fixed at 20 years in pris
on. He suggested raising the mini
mum for conviction under the "habi
tual criminal" law to 20 years In
prison, instead of 10. as at present.
STOVE TAKEN FROM HOUSE
Chicago For centuries people
have gone around taking things, but
Thursday police detected a new
wrinkle.
"Somebody." crid a hysterical
voice over the telephone, "has just
stolen my stove and it had a mighty
brisk fire in it, too."
Sure enough, police found the
stove missing from Mrs. David Ward
low's home.
By following a trail of hot coals,
they soon found Sam Lowe and Gene
Sanford toting the iron heater along
an alley. Since the fire was still
burning briskly, both Sam and Gene
were perspiring generously.
"Hey," greeted the pair of police
men, "what can this mean?"
"Nothing." said Sam. "Ward low

Mrs. Wardlow promised her hus
band would pay, so Sam and Gene
toted the stove back, reconnected it,
and the housewife continued her
cooking.
