Hemmed In by Posse, Killer Ends His Life

Rushville Sheriff Slayer Chooses Suicide Rather Than Surrender. By United Press MT. ORAB, 0.. Nov. 21.—An escaped convict sought in the murder of a sheriff shot and killed himself here Sunday after a furious gun battle with a posse of police authorities. The dead man, identified as James Webster, 36, accused of killing Sheriff Ray Compton of Rushville, Ind., was found in the house where he had barricaded himself against the attack by the posse. Captain Lynn Black, head of the county police, and one of the score of police and deputies which formed the posse, was shot in the groin during the battle. He received his wound while hurling a gas bomb through a window. His condition is not critical. The gunman was trailed to the village Saturday night by deputies from Rushville. They called Ohio officers to their aid, and watched the house all night to prevent Webster's escape. Shortly before noon, when Webster still failed to appear, they ordered the tenants of the house, Vernie Armentrout', his wife and four children, to vacate. Armentrout was sent back into the house to urge Webster to surrender. The latter defied the officers and fired a warning shot through the door. The officers raked the house with sub-machine guns and rifles. The gunman kept up a sporadic fire with his pistol and a shotgun. The officers interspersed their fire with gas. Finally, there was a lull. Webster was found dead, a pistol in his hand, his wounds marked by powder burns. Branded Triple -Killer By United Press RUSHVILLE, Ind., Nov. 21.

Starving Half of Population Are Victims, Says Report of Labor Chiefs.

By United Press CINCINNATI, Nov. 21.—Charging that in the United States we are “slowly starving nearly onehalf of our population,” the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, in its annual report today' to the federation’s convention, sounded a warning that this country must “restore sanity and balance in economic life.” “We estimate,” said the report, “that, counting all workers and those dependent upon them, at least 60 000,000 persons now are living below minimum standards—nearly half our entire population. Forty millions of them have been dragged into poverty by depression; twenty million more are in industries where living conditions even in normal times are below standard. “Could there be a more serious indictments of our present economic order? Rich Richer; Poor Poorer We are denying one-third of our wage and small salaried workers the right to work; we slowly are starving nearly half of our population.” The council presents income figures to show how the past decade of rugged individualism has enriched the rich and impoverished the poor. Between 1922 and 1929 wages and salaries increased 45.5 per cent; dividends increased 143.1 per cent. Even in the depression's first year dividends increased 5 per cent, while wages dropped 15 per cent. The very rich took the bulk of the wealth. In 1929, 86.5 per cent of all dividends were paid to persons with investments of more than SIOO,OOO. While workers’ incomes between 1922 and 1929 increased 45.5 per cent, incomes more than SIOO,OOO increased 389 per cent. Destroy Buying Market In 1929, “when some 20,000,000 ol our citizens were living below minimum standards of health and efficiency, 14,800 persons received incomes of more than SIOO,OOO, and 513 received $1,000,000 each.” All this, the report says, destroyed the buying market for industry. Since those who earn less than $5,000 a year spend 83 per cent of their income, the concentration of wealth destroys the country’s best market. Retail sales have declined at a ratio almost identical with the decline in buying power of the masses. As to the depression the council finds that although workers’ wage and salary loss this year has been $25,000,000,000, relief from all sources will not total more than $500,000,000. Need Relief Machinery More than two-thirds of relief for the past two years has been furnished by the taxpayers. In these years relief has been 69 per cent public, 31 per cent private. In the future, the council says, the government must be more generous in its grants. “The lesson of the present depression shows that we must establish adequate relief machinery,” “the report states. “This includes a program to keep work-hours adjusted to work-time needed, measures to create additional work, unemployment insurance, adequate public relief, including a force of trained persons to administer it. “We have made much progress in our relief machinery since 1929, but this year we have a more difficult and serious situation.”

DRASTIC CHANGE IN U. S. TAXING METHODFOUGHT New Economies, Levy on Beer May Pull Nation ‘Out of Red.’ BY MARSHALL McNEIL Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Governmental economies totaling $500,000.000 or more, and the legalization and taxation of beer may permit congress in the short session to avoid another drastic revision of the revenue system. This is the hope of many in congress and out, and apparently one held also by the administration, which is assembling new data on savings, as the result of the special cabinet meeting Saturday on the budget. Results of this new drive for economy will be known the week after next when President Herbert 1 Hoover presents his budget mes sage to congress. But in a White House statement, i Saturday, Mr. Hoover indicated sav- ! ings of $700,000,000 were being sought. This would be reduced, of i was pointed out, by $150,000,000, the | amount of public debt fixed charges, i On this basis, the message will call! for federal expenditures next fiscal year of somewhat more than $3,000,000,000. The treasury i s running behind * more than $715,000,000. The new! excise taxes have failed to yield as' expected, and, while the returns j from the new and high income taxes j will not come in until March, the! trend of business this year indi-1 cates they, too, will fall below estimates. Counting in the fact that appropriations this year were $322,000,000 greater than expected, that foreign debt payments are lost for at least another year, and sinking fund requirements must be met, a treasury deficit of between $3,500,000,000 and $2,000,000,000 is in prospect. If the bulget could be cut by half a billion, three or four hundred million raised by a tax on legal beer, and some of the outstanding treasury issues refinanced at lower rates of interest, the government reasonably might get through another twelve months. Meanwhile, there is growing agitation for a national tax conference to readjust local, state and federal levies into a co-ordinated system. The chamber probably will support a sales tax, but unless a drastic change in attitude develops in congress, this levy will not be successful, there. The American Federation of Labor has just reiterated its opposition to it, as has Senator William Borah (Rep., Idaho), who favors, he said, almost any sort of tax, or a big bond issue. Suicide Attempt Fails Attempting suicide Sunday night by slashing his wrist, Francis Brown, 85, of 820 Daly street, told police he was despondent over ill health. After treatment at city hospital Brown was returned to his home.
