lcar Fatal Accident
This is the stcry of an accident
that was not an accident one that
vras forestalled by the heroic work of
C. II. Whitworth. Had it occurred, it
would have resulted in the destruc
tion of an automobile and the al-
m.cst certain death cf the occupant.
A stranger driving a large car was
going westward on Highway 24, com
ing down the hill through town at a
;pccd of around 4 3 miles an hour,
unaware of the approach of a fast
northward bound freight train on the
Missouri Pacific. Mr. Whitworth
sensed the impending danger and
rushed into the street in front of the
onrr.mir.g car, waving his cap and
shouting to the driver to stop. Just
as he had gotten within a short dis
tance cf the track, still traveling at a
lively rate of speed the locomotive cf
the freight train thot across the
highway. The man turned his wheel
to the right and ran paralel with the
swiftly moving train, bumping over

the ties, switches and tracks until he
was able to step the car. After the
train had passed he backed out of
his rather close quarters and return
ed to the highway to continue on his
way westward.
Had it not been for the prompt and
heroic action of Mr. Whitworth, an
other death would have undoubtedly
occurred at the crossing.
We have frequently commented on
lhe danger of traveling through town
at such high rate of speed, especially
when going down the long Main
itrect hill, with the hazard of the
main line train tracks to encounter
at the bottom. Still drivers persist in
doing it, and sooner or later there
will be other serious accidents at the
crossing.
irany Visit Plattsmouth
Many cf the workmen of Union
were in Fiattsmouth last Monday to

and the treasury is carefully balanc
ing revenues thus lost against those
gained in deciding what tax rates
shall hi recommended for enactment
at the coming session of congress. Of
ficials noted also, an increase in the
public debt to the highest point since
war time borrowing carried it to its
all time peak, closed their books on
the offer to exchange fourth liberty
loan bonds for the October issue of
Z'z and made ready for the custom
ary mid-December financing, involv
ing the refunding of more than 700
millions in maturing obligations.
At the fame time they held the
price of newly mined domestic gold
stationary after three increases in as
many business days, which carried
the quotation 25 cents upward for
the week to its highest level since
the gold operations began. A special
treasury committee headed by Assist
ant Secretary Hewes is at work on
the tax recommendations. Indications
have ben that it is concerned prin
cipally with income taxe3 with the
primary object of providing an in
disputably balanced budget for the
fiscal year which ends July 1, 1935.
A key piece in the puzzle of federal
tinancc-3 which the committee is at
tempting to fit together is the amount
of revenue from the special taxes
that will be lost scon, as compared
wiht the income to be derived from
legalized liquor.
The day's treasury statement show
ng how the government's books stood
at the end of November's last busi
ness day disclosed a jump of $4S3,
353,051 in the gross public debt for
the month, carrying it to a total of
$23,534,115,771. The peak of the
nation's indebtedness was reached
soon after the close of the war, when
it went to 528, 506, 701, C4S on Aug.
31, 1910. Ii fell to the post war low,
j$lG,lS5, 309,000, in 1930.
However, in reaching public debt
totals, treasury officials prefer to de
duct the government's cash on hand,
jut as a man who owes 5 dollars and
has 1 ins his pocket would figure that
his indebtedness was $4. To be de
ducted from the Nov. 29 indebtedness
total, the treasury had a balance of
S1,107,325,C02. On this basis the
following debt figures for these dates
are reached: March 31, 1917, $1,207,-
S27.SS6; Aug. 31. 1919, $25,47S,592;
Nov. 30, 1932, ?20,216,2S4,332; Oct.

SEASON CLOSED ON DTJCKS
Duck hunters' guns ceased firing
at Sundown Thursday and the flocks
of wild fowl winging south to winter
feeding grounds will be unmolested
the rest of the season.
Whether the season will be open
GO days again next fall. Game War
den O'Cocnell said Friday may de
pend on a government survey now
being made. After scanning it, and
correlating knowledge of Nebraska
conditions with those of the nation,
O'Connell will make recommendations
which the government considers in
establishing the seasons.
There were more geese on the
tablelands west of North Platte than
any time in years," O'Connell assert
ed. Farmers in one locality declared
ducks and geese a nuisance in the
grain fields.
In eastern counties, however, the
fowl were few and wary.
Drying ponds and marshes rather
than increased hunting, observers
say, are to blame largely for the de
clination of the ducks. Some confu
sion has been found among hunters
as to the closing day of the duck sea
son. The Nebraska game laws book
printed after the legislature set Dec.
31 as the last day but the federal au
thorities since lived Nov. 30 and the
national law take3 precedence.
VIOLENCE ATTENDS STEIKE
Philadelphia, DecJ 4. Violence
flared again in the strike of taxicab
drivers, with five cabs being wrecked
and their drivers badly beaten. Slilk
bottles and bricks were hurled thru
windows cf other cabs. Near Ritten
house square, police and a group of
men they described as strikers bat
tled for ten minutes before six were
arrested. Leaders of the Taxicab
Drivers' union, acting on advice of
Edward F. SlcGrady, assistant secre
tary of labor, sought prompt action
by the regional labor board so that
the case can go before the national
labcr board if n decision is reached
here.
TEAR UP A DEATH MACHINE
Denver, Dec. "2. A crew of con
victs swarmed into the death cham
ber at Colorado prison and disman
tled the antiquated "self starting"
hanging machine. Warden Best or
dered the machine demolished to
make room for a lethal gas chamber
authorized by the last legislature.
The machine consisted of a plat
form, a system of weights and ropes
and a noose. When the condemned
man stepped upon the platform his
weight released a trigger which in
turn pulled a plug from a tank filled
with water. When the water receded
to a certain point it pulled another
trigger which released a 500 pound
weight attached to one end of the
rope. Thus the condemned man was
jerked into the air.
Walter Jones was the last of forty
five persons hanged on the machine.
He was executed Friday night.

ments 'Fair Play' Editors
Detroit, Slich., Dec. 3. Asserting
that it is either "Roosevelt or ruin,
Rev. Charles E. Coughlin. pastor of
the Shrine of the Little Flower, in a
speech today renewed his defense of
the administration's monetary poll
cies and reiterated his attack on the
administration's foes.
He repeated the statement regard
ing the controverted Alfred E. Smith
J. P. Slorgan incident, referred to in
his speech of last Sunday, remarking
that he believed his statements were
"misquoted to him" and that "no one
has said that Sir. Smith obtained
lean" cn the occasion of his reputed
visit to the office of Sir. Slorgan.
Belford in Apologry
Almost simultaneously with Father
Coughlin's speech of today, Rt.. Rev.
SIgr. John L. Iielford, of Brooklyn
was stating publicly that he desired
"to broadcast a very humble and sin
cere apology to all whom I offended'
in his remarks regarding Father
Coughlin's monetary speech at a New
York mass meeting on last Slonday
night.
"It was uncharitable and I deeply
regret it. I am not explaining, ex
tenuating or excusing . . . No one
has ordered it or suggested it."
In his interview early last week
SIgr. Pelford had referred to Father
Coughlin as "in infernal nuisance'
and "a public enemy . . . who makes
it his business to cater to the
mob ..."
"Easkob, Smith Next"
Referring to SIgr. Belford's state
ment, Father Coughlin remarked that
"John Raskob will be next and Al
Smith after him." Both Sir. Raskob
and Sir. Smith have taken issue with
Father Coughlin's utterances.
Referring to the Smith statements
in his speech todas. Father Coughlin
said:
"If I disagree with Mr. Smith's
financial philosophy, let no man no
editor except a liar maintain that
do not admire the ex-governor s
Christian morality."
"Haven't Forgotten Fairplay"
He added that the "Tory newspap
ers decided to humble me for having
played even a small part in this con
test for economic emancipation."
"I immediately exempt from that
category not only the news journals
who are favorable to Sir. Roosevelt's
financial reforms reforms that are
intended to free us from the gold
standard but also those decent
American publications which, al
though they differ in policy from
what I have advocated, nevertheless
have net forgotten the principles of
fairness and of honesty.
"Their number is legion. They are
lo be congratulated."
TEA?. GAS SPLITS UP MOB
Nemacclin, Pa., Dec. 4. Tear gas
bombs, hurled by police of the Buck
eye Coal company dispersed a mob of
several hundred miners and their
wives, threatening to storm the home
of a non-union worker. Estimated
by Sline Police Chief Sellers at be
tween 300 and 600, the shouting
group besieged the house of John
Kllngensmith, a mine pumper.
Ten company deputies dashed up
with clubs and tear gas. They were
greeted with a barrage of stones and
retaliated with the stinging gas. Au
thorities said that twenty-eight were
treated after the clash, including
several of the deputies. The miners
have been demanding election of a
committee to negotiate a wage and
working agreement contract with the
company.
