ELXER G. THACKERY. Police Fatally Wound Fugitive in Omaha Store Eelieve That Man Is C. E. Darling, Sought for Bank Robbery in Missouri. Omaha. A-man believed to be C. E. Darling, one of four men sought in the" robbery of a bank at Repub lic, Mo., March 7, was shot and fatal ly wounded in a clothing store here late Thursday by Police Sergeants frank Haley and Harvey Haney. The man collapsed after fleeing a block from the store and died a half hour later at a hospital. An Omaha driver's license bear ing the name of G. E. Darling was found in the dead man's clothes. Einar Berg, nephew of the store ov.jner, aid the stranger, accompan ied by another man, entered the store and tendered an express order in payment for a hat. Recalling warning.-; rnt out against cashing ex press orders stolen in the robbery at Republic. lirrg took the order to the credit department, where it was found to bear the rame number as that of the series stolen 'in the bank holdup. Han's Gun Overlooked. Returning downstairs, Berg passed the police officers who were trying on new uniforms. He told them of the express order and Haley and Haney went with him to question the strangers. Haney rearched the tall er of the two men and discovered rr.ore express orders but did not find tile man's gun. The straiiRcrs were ordered to the rear of the sto-e. As the; group reached there, the tall man drew his gun end fired upon the officers. He missed and turned and fled toward a side door. Just as he reached it Haley fired three times and Haney once. Tho man staggered, lurched thru the door and fled into the street with tho officers in pursuit. In the meantime the shorter man had fled. After a pursuit of a block .the of ficers captured the wounded man and took him to a hospital. He died without making any statement other than that his name was "Davis," Ohio Assembly Meets to "Find Way to Relief Special Session Expected to Raise 23.500.0CO by Governor Geo. White's Plan. Columbus, Ohio. With their task cut out for them by Gov. George White, members of the Ohio General Assembly went into special session to enact relief legislation. The Gov ernor issued the legislative call when it became apparent that many muni cipalities and other units could not continue their relief work on local funds. His plan, which is ready for joint session of Senate and House, he believes will raise 523,500,000. It include.", a one per cent increase in the cxci;e tax on public utilities ever a period of five years. This tax would raise about $11,000,000. Car riers and pipe lines would be ex eluded. Tho money would be alio cated to the counties for use. Other principal items in his plan: Issuance of relief bonds by coun ties, subject to state tax commission and state welfare department ap proval. Re-enactement of the law enabling schco? boards to furnish clothes, food. etc., to needy children. Authorization of taxing sub-divi sions to u.-.c their portions of gaso line tax and automobile license tax revenues for relief purposes. Formation of a state relief com mission of nine members to super vice relief expenditures. The Ohio Chamber of Commerce opposes the increase in the utilities excise tax and suggests instead that all delinquent taxes be collected. The O.no Farm Bureau opposes diversion of ths gasoline and auto mobile license tax moneys, and sug gests that permission be given to borrow on these funds for relief work. Other less organized opposi tion to various point3 in the Gov ernor's program also has been voiced from various sections of the State. A wide variety of relief measures are expected to be offered during the short session. A tax of $1 on after-dinner speeches is suggested in Ontario. The financial condition of the province must be desperate. Rarely, in ordi nary time3. is anything taxed at 200 per cent of its value. Journal Want-Ads get results! Observers See Improvement in Bank Situation Turn for Better Believed Due to Steps Taken by Congress Hoo ver Tells of Loans. - Washington. A definite improve ment in the nation's banking situ ation was seen by the federal re serve board and was attributed to action taken by congress to expand credit. Tho board ascribed an up ward trend to the law creating the Reconstruction Finance corporation, the organization of the corporation's work and the enactment of the Glass Steagall bill to increase the powers of the federal reserve system. It said the latter had increased the sys- tern's power to co-operate in busi- ness rocovery and had strengthened the credit structure of the coun try. "The improvement in conditions is indicated bj' a pronounced decline in the number of bank failures, by a strengthening of the bond mar ket and by a return flow of currency from the public to the banks," the board said. The board reviewed the Glass-Steagall bill, explaining that its provisions for increased powers of the federal reserve system were meant to be used in emergencies to aid banks which found themselves in difficulties. Speaking of the broadening of the eligibility provisions of the bill which permits banks in difficulties to get funds from federal reserve banks on sound assets not eligible heretofore, the board said: "Provisions in the new bill, how ever, do not deal with the question of eligibility under ordinary circum stances and do not contemplate any enlargement in the definitions of eligible paper. These sections are intended to piovide for unusual and temporary conditions where an in dividual member bank, for example, because of loss of deposits either thru gradual withdrawals or thru a run. finds itself under necessity of dis posing of Fome of its sound but in eligible assets or else closing its doors and going into the hands of a receiver, with the subsequent loss to its depositors and bad effect on the banking situation. Wednesday THE BEAUTIFUL NEW FORD WILL BE DISPLAYED r April 6th and 7th SEE IT AND GET FULL DETAILS AT OUR SHOWROOMS IPIaitteyootb PlatUmouth, Nebr. 4--Uflr tbe new law the federal reserve banks in such circumstances are in a position to make it possible for the bank to continue in oper ation if it has a sufficient amount of good assets to Justify the desired credit accommodation. The board also hailed the provi sions of the law broadening the se curities which may be used to guar antee circulation as an aid to the federal reserve system in that it would permit an increase in free gold. Many banka had used gold, above the legal 40 percent require ment to back their currency issues rather than use the then eliglbfe paper. It pointed out that the amount of currency had increased duo. to gold exports and hoarding and that tho new law in emergency would en able the system to call upon its en tire gold holdings above legal re quirements If needed. Hoover Tells of Loans. President Hoover at his regular Fllday pregg conference announe ed that a total of S234, 981,714 had been loaned by tho Reconstruction corporation. Of this amount 587 banks and trust companies received $126,895,073 or an average of $21C 1G2 per institution. The second largest amount went to the secretary of agriculture for agricultural loans. A total of 50 million dollars was turned over- to him promptly after the corporation was organized. Thirteen railroads have received S4C.975.557 or an av erage of 3,013.50 4 each Building and loan associations totaling eight een received $2,917,000 or an aver ager per association of $102,055. Thirteen insurance companies receiv ed $5,705,000 or an average of $443, 461. State Journal. WOMAN DIES OF FRIGHT Los Angeles.
