TARIFF RECEIVES ATTACK
Washington The ultimate value
of President Hoover's moratorium
proposal was described by Senator
George as resting upon "the use we
shall make of it." Attacking the
Smoot-Hawley tariff, which he blam
ed for the world trade losses of the
United States, the Georgian, in a
statement issued thru the Democratic
national committee, said "President
Hoover properly recognizes that mili
tary and naval disarmament must
come by international agreement;
likewise economic disarmament."
"There la not the slightest disposi
tion to criticize or embarrass the ef
forts thus far made for the president
to stablize world conditions." he
said, "and a downward revision of
tariffs here and in Europe may well
be expected to hasten materially the
return to normal conditions."

t timed to Nebraska
Denver, Colo., July 11 The three
Max, Neb., bank bandits will be
turned over to Sheriff Paul Davis of
Dundy county tomorrow morning for
return to Benkleman, where they
will be tried. Captain of Detectives
Armstrong announced tonight.
All of the men confessed their part
in the holdup. D. E. Galletin, cash
ier of the Max State bank, and Forest
Clements and J. H. Hall, who were
in the bank at the time of the rob
bery, arrived at the police station
here this afternoon and identified the
bandits.
Police recovered about $1,500 from
the trio. They insisted that was all
they obtained in the robbery, but
officials of the bank at Max fixed the
amount at $2,300.
The men were O. T. Handley, 38,
said to have served a term in the
Iowa penitentiary on charges of em
bezzlement; George Savage, 4S, and
Enos W. McCollum. 33. All are Den
ver residents. McCollum is the fa
ther of three small children.
Their capture resulted from Cap
tain Armstrong's "hunch" that he
knew the owner of the automobile
which was described in reports of
the Max robbery. It had six yellow
wire wheels and Armstrong said it
belonged to Savage.
All Sign Confesisons.
Armstrong said that identification
of the witnesses was unnecessary as
all signed written confessions of the
crime.
Witnesses of another Nebraska
bank robbery, the Webster County
bank of Red Cloud, were expected
to arrive tomorrow morning to at
tempt to identify the men as the
perpetrators of that holdup. Arm
strong said as soon as the Red
Cloud witnesses viewed the suspects
they would be given to Sheriff Davis.
The men are O. T. Handley. 30;
George T. Savave, 48, and Enos W.
McCollum, 33.
Two women, Mrs. Goldie Handley,
26. wife of Handley, and Pearl Rob
inson. 45, said the be the sweetheart
of Savage, also are held for question
ing. They are expected to be releas
ed for further appearance at the trial
in Nebraska.
Taken At Hotel.
The men were caught early today
at the Regent hotel after detectives
had traced their disappearance
through a local driverless car com
pany and through their Denver resi
dences. Savage rented a oar July 1. The
driverless car company bad not
heard from Savage since and feared
the car was stolen. They reported
it to police. Meontime, Handley was
drawn into the plot when he was seen
a half hour after automobile was
rented driving it.
When the hotels at which the men
stopped in Denver were checked
Friday night, it was discovered they
owed large bills. That fact later was
assigned as the motive for the rob
bery. Detectives waited at the Regent
hotel Friday until shortly after mid
night when Handley came in carry
ing a suit case. He was arrested and
the others were rounded up a short
time later.
Officers found only about $1,500
in cash on them. This, the bandits
said, was all they had taken bandits
said, was all they had taken from
the Max bank. The bank ojcials,
however, declared the amount was
slightly more than $2.300. Lincoln

FILIPINOS MAKE A SHOWING
Manila Filipinos held a huge
demonstration here in an attempt to
further convince United States Sen
ators Pitman of Nevada and Hawes
of Missouri that the people of the
islands were united in their desire
for independence. Filipinos paraded
past the senators, who reviewed them
from a stand in front of the legisla
tive building. Many canned posters
asserting they were economically
prepared and asking for liberty or
death, and independence at any
price.
The demonstration was perhaps
the largest ever seen in the islands.
Newspapers estimated the crowd
along the line of march at between
100,000 and 200,000 and the march
ers at 50,000 to 75.006.
Both the American senators gave
brief speeches in which they said
the demonstration was mist convinc
ing proof of the desires of the island
inhabitants.

SABATH CALLS FOE NAMES
Chicago Congressman Sabath,
democrat, wrote ta President Haover
urging him to make public the names
of "certain persons" selling short in
all commodity markets," as mention
ed in the president's statement at Fri
day's press conference in Washing
ton and to designate them "public
enemies." In his statement. Presi
dent Hoover made it clear that his
attack was not upon legitimate hedg
ing operations, but only upon those
of "a limited number" of speculators
who. he said, sold grains and other
commodities short "to depress
prices."
"In Chicago we have designated
men guilty of lesser crimes than
theirs, as 'public enemies' and there
fore you should let it be known that
if they persist in their destructive ac
tivities that thei:: names will be giv
en to the public and designated prop
erly as pubic enemies," the congress
men wrote.
Governor Bryan now has two r, !.
sure-enough code secretaries in his
official family while two of the erst
while code departments agriculture
and labor are being admini.-tei .!
by a "deputy secretary" and a 'com
missioner" and the fifth, public-,
welfare, has no head at the present
time, being somewhat "shot to
pieces" in the governor's reorganiza
tion program.
State Engineer Roy Cochran,
otherwise secretary of public works,
is a holdover from the Weaver and
McMullen regimes and from the first
Bryan administration. While Gov
ernor Bryan did not formally reap
point him and submit his nam- to the
legislature for confirmation, the law
provides that a code secretary shall
hold his place until superseded by
executive order. Apparently. Coch
ran is a fixture in this administra
tion and retains his former status as
a code secretary. His salary remain
unchanged at $7,506 a year
The other full-fledged secretary is
E. H. Luikart. whom Bryan named to
that position last week. Before that
Luikart was functioning under the
title of "deputy secretary." He w.s
shoved up to the top rank, without
change of pay. to conform with t In
state law which provides that the
secretary of trade and commerce
shall be ex officio receiver of all fail
ed banks. Some doubt has been ex
pressed as to the authority of a
"deputy secretary" to take these in
stitutions over. The salary is $5.to
per annum.
Governor Bryan has consolidai'-d
the "deputy secretary's" Job wr, h
,that of "secretary." This v..- -to-I
so that Luikart might continue
j draw pay as "deputy" out of the fund
I appropriated for salaries and VI
iof employes of the department, aim
i the legislature failed to provide any
thing for the "secretary." Accord
ingly. Luikart will do his work ui -der
one title and get his salary un
der another.
