Banks. 62-year-old dispossessed newspaper publisher, and one-time millionaire, was convicted Sunday of second degree murder for the slaying of George Prescott, Medford 'Ore.) constable. The penalty in Oregon Is life imprisonment. The sentence is mandatory. Banks’ wife, jointly accused with him, was acquitted. The diminutive prisoner’s attorneys gave notice of appeal. Shot Constable in Heart Prescott, who had sp-nt* his life as a Montana and Oregon peace officer, was shot in the heart as he attempted to serve a burglary warrant on Banks at the editor’s palatial Medford home. The warrant accused Banks of helping steal election ballots. “I was defending my castle.” the editor declared when he was arrest ed. Banks claimed direct descent from the famed Pilgrim couple, John and Priscilla Alden. He was known in Ohio, New York, Oregon and California as a spectacular operator in the fresh-fruit markets, and as the owner of huge acreage in oranges and pears. He lived luxuriously, was rated a millionaire. Newspaper Three years ago Banks became publisher of the Medford Daily News. He made it a crusading paper, and became involved in local political disputes that grew into near-warfare. Business reverses came as the poli'Tal feud became more bitter. The climax was when Prescott Was shot to death on Banks’ doorstep. Former owners had repossessed the newspaper on a mortgage foreclosure the day before the constable wps killed. While Banks was awaiting trial, his properties were thrown into involuntary bankruptcy. His home was told on a foreclosure.

The collapse of Germany and Russia made it impossible for them to pay their share of the war costs, as the allied leaders had calculated. The allied countries began to see their currency depreciate, too, even the French, who had been cagey about keeping a large gold supply.

Contract Bridge

BY W\ E. M'KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League WITH only three or four cards of a suit out, why is it that some players will not take time to picture the different possible distributions of those few cards? For example, in the following hand, if the declarer is careless and leads the queen of spades from dummy, his contract is defeated. South and West passed. North opened "with one club. East overcalled with one heart and South bid one spade. I want to call your attention to the fact .that this bid of one spade is a one over one force, even in an intervening bid —as long as the one over one can still be made, it is a temporary force. West passed, and North jumped to four spades—a little optimistic, especially since this jump to four spades is a mild slam try. East passed, and South, who now felt his king of hearts to be a winner, bid six spades. West opened the ten of hearts —the top of his partner's suit—which East won with the ace. East returned the queen of hearts, South winning with the king. A small diamond was won in dummy with the king. nun IF West holds the king and another spade, there is no way for the declarer to make his contract. But take the distribution as we have it in his hand. The declarer must not lead the queen from dummy because East will play the king which will force

South's ace, and then the ten in the West hand will make. The proper play is a small spade—now, of course, the singleton king will drop, and it is then easy. But suppose that the king and two small spades were in the East hand and the singleton ten in the West. You could play a small spade from dummy, East would play low, declarer would finesse the jack, and the ten would drop from the West

hand. You now have another finesse through East to pick up the kng. Because you hold the queen in one hand, it does not always mean that you should lead the queen in order to take a finesse. Stop and try to picture the outstanding distribution before making a play of this kind, and you will be surprised at the number of tricks you will pick up. (CoDvrieht, 1933. by NEA Service. Inc.) OCEAN MAIL CONTRACT AWARDS UNDER FIRE Extravagance and Favoritism . Are Charged in Senate Inquiry. B[i I' it(d Press WASHINGTON, May 22. Charges of extravagance, favoritism and disregard of American merchant marine interests in the award of steamship mail contracts soon will be investigated publicly by a senatorial committee headed by Senator Hugh L. Black (Dem., Ala.). Special investigators have been working on the case ever since the senate authorized the inquiry, and they are said to have turned up some interesting evidence as to the way such contracts were handled during the Hoover and Coolidge administrations. INTEREST RATE IS CUT Loans Through Federal Land Bank to Be Made Cheaper. Reduction of interest rates on Federal Land Bank of Louisville, through national farm loan associations. was announced today by Ernest Rice, president.

Books on Finance Hold Library Readers’ Interest

Currency and Related Subjects Rank High, Says Dickerson. A wave of popular interest in the ramifications of high finance has struck the Indianapolis public libraries since the inflation. Books and pamphlets on the history of currency and kindred subjects have become the literary fare of a large group of men—many of them unemployed—who visit the reading rooms daily. “The average layman recently has taken an amazing interest in sociology, economics, religion and philosophy,” said Luther Dickerson, librarian. "Hundreds of men come to us every day to study the most complicated textbooks we have on the subjects.” Customers in the libraries have increased 5G per cent as compared to last year. “People literally are wearing out the books,” Dickerson declared. “In one month 41,000 books were placed in the bindery department to be repaired. The total book borrowers are about 140,000. or 38 per .cent of the city’s population.”

In the matter of fiction, Dickerson revealed some of the strange quirks that sometimes accompany the success of a boox. When P. S. Stribling’s novel, “The Store,” won the Pulitzer prize recently the demand for the book became so great that many extra copies had to be ordered, although the same book had been in practically no demand previous to the prize awards. The same author's book, “The Forge,” also has been in demand since Stribling won the prize. Galsworthy’s “Flowering Wilderness” and Sinclair Lewis’ “Ann Vickers” are touch and go with the Stribling book. In the field of nonfiction, Claude Bowers’ “Life of Beveridge” is in the greatest demand, with Adam's "March of Democracy,” Pitkin’s “Life Begins at Forty,” and Halliburton’s “Flying Carpet” about

TORTURE, ROB MOTHER OF 3 Boarders, Helpless. Look On as Bandits Burn, Beat Woman. By l nit* and Pn HAMMOND. Ind . May 22.—Three bandits forced their way into the home of Mrs. Martha Smaluk, 40. here Sunday and tortured her into revealing the hiding place of money and jewelry valued at S3OO. Three boarders who attempted to grapple with the bandits were bound and gagged. They looked on helplessly while the woman was abused. One of Mrs. Smaluk's three children, Paul. 4. also witnessed the torture. The bandits stripped off the woman’s clothes, stuffed rags in her mouth, then burned her feet and breasts with lighted cigars. Her fingers were cut below the nails. Mrs. Smaluk finally submitted to the invaders’ wishes when they threatened to cut her throat with a razor blade, and kidnap her children.
