of a prosperous Pennsylvania chocolate company. O'Connor obtained details of the story from Maude F. Anderson, cashier for the defunct firm. “I knew our firm had been shaky," Miss Anderson said, “and a few months ago I asked Mr. Allum what he planned to do about It. lie said a high official of the Hershey company was going to try and persuade Mr. Hershey to break up a $50,000,000 trust fund. “Mr. Allum said our firm would underwrite a bond issue on those assets and that they would be sold to the public, resulting in huge commissions for us." O'Connor said a complete check had proven the story false and that Hershey company officials had not even heard of the brokerage company. Miss Anderson and Harold Bailey, a bookkeeper, were ordered held in technical custody. Allum. Olaf Larsen, vice-president, and Henry Engel, secretary-treasurer, have been held in default of $200,000 bond each on charge of embezzlement since the firm collapsed Thursday. DR. TOWNSEND IS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE) ONE) tee. A week ago the U. S. supreme court declined to consider an appeal by Townsend. “The nature of the offense is one which concerns primarily the congress,” the White House statement said. “The authority, the dignity, and the rights of the house of representatives, have been fully sustained by the conviction. The speaker of the house of representatives, the majority leader of the house of representatives, and the chairman of the committee which originally recommended the prosecution and before which the acts complained of were committed. have recommended the extension of executive clemency.” The White House noted that among those who had recommended clemency were Rep. C. Jasper Bell, D., Mo., chairman of the house committee which Townsend defied. The aged pension advocate hau said he left the investigation because it had been transformed into a persecution.

PAROLEE SHIS DEPUTY SHERIFF Indiana Paroled Convict Commits Suicide After Slaying Roscoe. 111., April 18—(U.R) -The j Easter Sunday slaying of a special deputy sheriff in a farmhouse near here was revealed early today when an armed posse discovered the body of the killer, a pa rolled Indiana prison convict. Arthur Laws. 35, who had been sentenced to 10 years at Pendleton (Ind.) prison on a burglary I charge, killed himself with a shot- , gun after fatally wounding John J. Germano, 32. Rockford new spa- ; per delivery contractor, as he, attempted to serve a warrant on Laws. Germano died at a Rockford hos-; pital last night, two hours after he was shot below the heart in the ; { home of Elmer Barber on whose 1 farm Laws was employed. Barber had brought a disorderly conduct complaint against Laws who, he. said, terrorized his family. Investigators said they found on Laws body a farewell note asking “for givenees for my cowardly I act.” Mrs Barber said she was in her bed room with her three year old daughter, Carol Joan, when Germano was shot in the living room.' “Laws dashed into the bed room breathing heavily attfl got a shot-, gun. He stared at me for a minute and I thought he was going to murder both of us. He ordered me out and I went across the street to a neighbor’s home.” She said she was trying to get out of a window with her child when the shooting started and that a bullet whizzed so close to her head that "it moved my hair.’’ Germano. Barber and Deputy Sheriff Clarence Wollan had gone I to the Barber home to serve a I warrant on Laws. Wollan went to i the rear door and the other two went into the house by the front door. Barber said Germano was confronted by Laws who wielded a .38 j calibre revolver. Laws and GerI mano scuffled for possession of i the gun. he said, and Laws grabbed :it after it had fallen. He said Germano fired at Laws, but missed and that the ex-convict fired two shots, one going wild and the other striking the deputy below the heart. Laws’ body, his left side shattered by a shotgun blast, was found In the woods. The Barbers said they first met Laws last August when they owned ; a t'arjn in Manchester township. | They were introduced by a woman j cousin of Mrs. Barber. “He seemed pretty quiet at that ' time ' Mrs Barber said “He told I us he couldn't get: along with his; brother Joe at Beloit and wanted 1

FLOOD CONTROL FOND APPROVED House Committee Approves Bill Including Flood Control Fund Washington, April 18 — (U.R) The house appropriations committee today favorably reported a $22(1,634.725 appropriation bill for war department civil works, including $37,000,000 for flood control requested last week by President Roosevelt as part of his new recovery drive. Mr. Roosevelt recommended the heavy appropriation for flood control as one phase of his new $4,512,000,000 drive against recession and unemployment. The bill represented a $25,098,662 increase over the $194,536,063 appropriation for war department civil works in the 1938 fiscal year which ends July 1. Actually, however, the war department will have less funds for civil projects during the fiscal year beginning next July 1. Although the actual appropriation for the 1938 fiscal year was approximately $26,000,000 less than the new appropriation, the war department last year received allocations from the works progress administration totaling $52,500,000, which more than offset the difference. The new bill is $23,618,838 over the 1939 budget. It included $24,025,000 of reappropriations. A total of $94,300,000 was provided for rivers and harbors work, compared with $128,000,000 appropriated for 1938, and $70,300,000 recommended in the 1939 budget. For blood control work, the bill carried $113,000,000 compared with a total of $105,000,000 for 1938. General flood control was given $82,000,000 of the appropriation, and the balance of $31,000,000 was allocated for work on the Mississippi river and its tributaries. The committee divided the president's new $37,000,000 flood control recommendation into $32,000,- ] 000 for general work and $5,000,000 allocated directly for Mississippi river work. Congress has authorized some 300 flood control projects through- 1 out the country, exclusive of the 1 lower Mississippi river valley at. a total cost of not more than $344,000,000. The house flood control committee has been holding hearings on projects, and today began hearing members of the house and 1 senate in their arguments for priority of certain projects. Total approprations for the Panama canal were $10,250,125. a decrease of $323,635 from 1938. Additions of $15,800 for sanitation and $35,565 for civil government . were made, and maintenance and operation costs of the canal were | shaved $370,000. Remaining Assets Os Bank Sold Today Remaining assets of the Old Adams County Bank were sold, today pending approval of the Adams circuit court, to Louis N. Schuster, of Louisville, Kentucky, for $875.98. Mr. Schuster was the only bidder. A week ago he also purchased the remaining assets of the Peoples Loan & Trust company. The assets had a book value of $42,376.81. Assets totaling $5,900 I , were charged off due to the fact that they are now pending in a fedftal court in bankruptcy and a disI trfbution is now due to the bank. I to work on our farm so we hired him." Shortly after that, Barber said, ; Laws tried to dominate the household and frequently terrorized the ; Barbers. Police said Laws' parole from i Pendleton prison had expired in , February. An inquest into the case was set for W< dnesday.
