5/Arthur Brisbane KIDNAPERS WARNED JACKSONVILLE CHEERFUL SAYS BORAH TO SMITH ONE SNOW-WHITE PIG A mob is * mob, anywhere, North, South, East or Wort. The six thousand mon that gathered around a Ciai fornia howling for the lives of two vile criminals, defying clouds of tear gas, breaking through prison doors and hanging their battered victims to trees, are the same as any other mob. Thousands of them, the day after did not recognise in themselves the man that had shared the mob’s work. Every man in the mob, on reflection, will regret the treatment of Sheriff Emig, who did his duty. Defending the prisoners, he was knocked senseless and sent to a hospital. *o Emig the capture of the kidnapers is due. He arrested one of them, Thurmond, while he telephoned a threatening message<to the par- < onto of the kidnaped man/X The rage of a mob broke loose after the body of the victim was found —murdered, according to their confessions. All California, the mob iUelf, will regret the viol, tion of law, to which no. pro vocation ahoJd give good citisepa. But there is good in evil. From this lynching those engaged in the kidnaping industry, or contemplating it, will loam that kidnaping is unpopular, leads to death for the criminals and becomes, for them, more dangerous every day. The two victims of the lynching, if they know anything, now knowthat crime, kidnaping especially, does' not p.y. Jacksonville is to Florida what San Francisco is to Calitornia- a railroad busineas and fln ncial center, and an important shipping center, soon to become more important, thanks to Pres . Roosevelt. He will spend public money, usefully, puldng through, byway of Jacksonville, a ship canal from the Atlantic oce.,n to the Gulf, shortening the route from New York to all Gulf ports, and to the west coast through the Panama Canal. Jacksonville, energetic and cheerful, good times or bad, is more cheer ful th-n usual because fresh government money was coming to town. The government staits spending $1,500,000 a week on public works in Florida, and Jacksonville's pay roll will be >160,000 a week. In useful public work. Those may be, as fotmer Governor Smith says, 'baloney dollars,* but they will bo welcome, useful dollars. Senator Borah rejects Governor Smith's criticism of what Mr. Smith calls President Roose veil's/'baloney dollars.** The Idaho senator says the President's gold buying is sound. He lives in the West among farmers where money is scarce. Alfred E. Smith lives in New York where they have about all the money there is. Senator Borah says “the gold dollar is the most dishonest dollar evsr created, except absolutely irredeemable paper money.” A practical answer to criticism of President Roosevelt comes from the Department of Commerce, showing that the outside world is using dur cheaper dollars to buy goods, thus giving employment to American workmen: .Our exports in October were at their highest since 1931, Northern Florida presents an interesting mixture of trees; palms struggling against colder weather, innumerable trees with long gray moss hanging down, some adventurous oaks from the North, their leaves turning bright red-much to the surprise of real Florida trees, probably —and beside the track half way between Jacksonville and the pleasant little town of Glen St. Mary you see perfect happiness. It to “hog-killing time.” Two fair sired shoats. whose troubles are over, lie on their side on a table, two cheer ful colored men enthusiastically scraping off the bristles. A full grown hog to hanging head down from the limb of a tree, to snow white from hind hoofs to snout, with a red line down the center. There to happiness in ths little orchard beside the black frame cabin as those pigs are prepared for their ultimate duty. AU members of the pig-owning family are present—women. old and young, children, big and little, with reserved places inside the orchard inclosure. Neighbors, dozens of them, lean on and look over the fence. Their prophetic gaze sees, as in a crystal ball, hams, shoulders, sausage mean, pigs* foot, spare ribs need-cheese, blood pudding, through the winter montlw. You that languidly study the extensive biU of faro “trying to make up your mind" can never know the thrill that radiates from » snow-white pig hanging hoed down in a colored man’s erchard. The unexpected is hard to deal with Kenneth Meeker of Montana, whose hurtnat is catching rattlesnakes, shipped 100 big ones this summer td the Chicago exposition. Hto friends heartng him yell for help in a dirtant field, said: “Some rattler has got him at ImL" When they reached him they found a mouse had run up his lag.

BANK STOCK OWNERS MUST PAY 100 % Meeting of Depositors To Be Wednesday Evening, Dec. 13. Biiefly, developments of the annual stockholders meeting of the State Bank of Syracuse, Tuesday, were: 1. There will be an assessment of 100 per cent mr.de in the near future against each stockholder. 2. The bank will be reorganized. 3. Depositors will be asked to waive to trustees 75 per cent oft Mir deposits (as was explained in a previous issue of the Journal), and afer details are perfected 25 per cent of deposits will be released upon demand. This means that a new bank will oe Created in Syracuse. The department of financial institutions of the state of Indiana has suggested that these things be accomplished by Jan. 1, 1934, at which ~ime federal guarantee of deposits in oanks takes effect. Frank McConaughy, bank ex- ; miner of. the state banking department, who attended the stockhold- 1 ors meeting, Tuesday, said that if] .hese things were accomplished the I yracuse bank would be examined jy federal and stale examineis and hat he believed the examination .ould show the bank eligible for federal guarantee of deposits. He also said, according to bank of.icials, that the bank could then borrow from the federal government if necessary, 335,000, the bank giving -o the RFC debenture notes which would have practically the same standing as preferred stock. Mr. McConaughy said however, that he lid not believe that this would be lecessary, because the bank to in such good condition. He also suggested that the stockhave a meeting to reorganize after it had been determined who would be able to pay the 100 per cent stock assessment. The stockholders decided to have the meeting Thursday night (tonight). The bank examiner said that after the stockholders reorganize there should be a meeting of all the depositors of the Syracuse bank. The depositors meeting will be held Wednesday, Dec. 13, at 7p. m., in the High School. Mr. McConaughy will be at this meeting, and will ex- i plain the bank situation in detail. Must Pay. Developments of Tuesday, according to bank officials/ were not unexpected as they realized that it would be necessary for stockholders to pay their assessment, the only difference being, from the plan which had been suggested by them, that the stockholders must pay their stock assessment before the bank can reopen, and that 25 per cent of deposits must be released immediately when the bank reopens. In other respects the plan for rehabilitation which the bank officials had asked depositors to sign, will be followed. When questioned what will be done in case a stockholder cannot pay hto assessment, bank officials said that a stockholder will be forced to surrender hto stock to the bank and will no longer be a stockholder. The bank will have to find a buyer for the stock surrendered. The buyer of the bank stock will pay par value for the stock. Stockholders desiring to be stockholders in the new bank will pay an assessment of 100 cents on every dollar of stock they wish to retain. If buyers for the stock surrendered cannot be found, stockholders surrendering their stock will be sued and a judgment obtained. Bank officials also wish to make it clear that after the 335,000 has been raised by stockholders* assessment or by persons buying surrendered stock every stockholder in the newly organised bank will be liable for another anessment if events make it impossible for the bank to obtain business. The officials seem to think thia will not happen with the Federal guarantee of deposits. CONDEMNATION SUIT The state of Indiana is plaintiff in a condemnation suit against Guy Ott through Deputy Attorney General W. E. Burrell. The state has filed a motion for a now trial. The circuit court jury in Elkhart county recently decided in favor of the defondant for the sum of S9OO which the state was to pay for the corner tot owned by Mr. Ott, where roads • and 13 cross.

AUTO TURNS OVER BUT NO ONE HURT Stepben Freeman, J. P. Dolan and A. L. Miller in Accident on Way to Indianapolis. “I’m so glad I returned home all in one piece," said J. P. Dolan, aged 84, when questioned about hto trip to Indianapolis tost week'. He went there with Stephen Freeman and A. L. Miller, riding in the front seat of Mr. Freeman’s car, with Mr. Freeman. Mr. Freeman said, on the crushed gravel road between Mentone and Rochester, almost at Rochester, Freeman’s sedan failed to make the turn in the road and turned on its side into the field beside the road. Mr. Freeman said he asked Mr. Dolan, seated beside him: “Are you all right?" and Mr. Dolan asked Mr. Freeman, “Are you all right?" and A. L. Miller leaned from the back seat and asked “Are you all right?" When each had assured the others he was all right, Mr. Miller climbed out of the door on the top side of the c.'r; helped out Mr. Dolan and Mr. Freeman, and went to a nearby farm house where he obtained a chain and a team to pull the car back on its four wheels again. It was discovered only the fenders on the one side were damaged. An oil truck came along and supplied the car with oil lost from the crank case while the car lay on its side, and the trip to Indianapolis was continued. Everyone escaped injury except Mr. Dolan, who received a cut on hto leg.

When John Wingard fell and broke his hip? —Q LOCAL BOYS LOSE TO TWO TEAMS IN WEEK JUST PASSED Last week Syracuse continued its losing streak,_ dropping two games by narrow margins. Bremen defeated Syracuse in a game played here Wednesday evening last week, by a score of 28 to 25. North Webster won the game at No. Webster, Friday evening, managing to eke out a 19 to 17 victory in the last minute of play. While losing, the Syracuse team proved that when pUt into a hole it could fight with a fury which nearly swept the opponents off their feet. Inability to shoot free throws combined with a late start at scoring proved too much for the Syracuse boys to Overcome. Bremen Scared. Wednesday evening with numerous graduate players in attendance, the Syracuse team put on a sorry exhibition of basketball against Bremen during the first half. But in the second half, the home team fought, overcoming Bremen’s lead of 19 to 10 at the end of the half, to, tie the score at 21 in the third quarter. A double foul was called and the Bremen player shot hto free throw, making the score 22 to 21. Then Miller, Syracuse shot two field goals, making the score 22 to 25 in favor of Syracuse. Zimmer, of Bremen made two field goals and on one of these shots was absolutely unguarded. Lehman, wlio had been stopped during the second half, made the final basket for Bremen, and the score in their favor, 28 to 25. Syracse scored one free throw out of 11 tries. Scores made by Syracuse players were: Kline, 4; Hibschman, 8; Miller, 11; Jones, 2; Freeman was taken out on personals in the first half and was replaced by Osborn. Scores made by Bremen players were: Zimmer, 8; O’Connor, 5; Guard, 1; Lehman, 12; Smith, 2. Bremen made 8 free throws out of 13 tries. Loses to North Webster. In a game marked by a tight defense on both sides, Syracuse lost to North Webster, Friday night, 19 to 17. Again inability to pitch free throws helped to defeat Syracuse. At the end of the half North Webster was in the lead 12 to 9. In the third quarter fiejd goals by Osborn and Miller tied the score 13 to 13. Two free throws by North Webster put that tfam in the lead again at the end of the quarter, 15 to 13. At the start of the last quarter, Kline was taken out on personals; Freeman, under the basket made a field goal 15 all. A foul by Jones gave Warner of North Webster a chance which he made good for two free throws. Then Beazly, the man who seldom missed added two more free throw scores to the North Webster column on a foul called on Hibschman. Jones made the final 'basket of the game making the score 19 to 17. The Syracuse second team won both games, defeating Bremen 22 to 7; and winning from North Webster 18 to 14. o HAVE FISH SUPPER The men of the Hex Grange served a fish supper for the women members of the Grange, Tuesday evening.

LAW PASSED, STATES ARE WETAGAIN 21st Amendment is Ratified; Little Change Here At exactly 4:32 p. m. Tuesday, December 5, the Utah convention ratified the 21st amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and the 18th amendment became as dead as a “killed” bottle of bath tub gin. Liquor stores threw open widet their doors in many states, and people celebrated, but not in ' Indiana, and particularly not in Syracuse. In fact Syracuse kept talking about the bank situation and paid very little attention to the new era of liquor consuming. 6 No new’s or gossip about anyone drinking any leg; 1 liquor in this vicinity has been heard up to time of going to press. Bathtub gin, moonshine whisky and high balls were probably consumed along with some 3.2 beer, but this was done at the boollegging establishments in operation before the repeal of the 18th amendment, as has been the custom for years. The regulations of Governor McNutt’s liquor commission are not favorable for a very' profuse flow of wet goods. To obtain whisky legally, one must go to a drug store, the only place of business in Indiana where whisky can be sold legally, and sign an as- , fidavit or application furnished the druggist by the state excise director. Now that little bit of paper to acting as a deterrent to the consump[tion of whisky. Who likes to sign an application for whisky when he can i buy it more cheaply from a bootlegger? * In fact, it looks like the vote on the 21st amendment by Indiana made the bootleggers* business one which will show profit. ■ State tax on “legal” liquor to fixed at 25c a pint. Federal tax will probably be $3 a gallon. Highlights of Indiana’s regulations include: ,1. Retail sale of whisky and other i spirituous beverages to limited to established drug stores. ,2. Wholesale distribution to in the hands of established food I and drug wholesalers. 3. Sales will be only in the package and not for consumption on the premises.. . • , 4. Natural wines, not fortified by or blended with spirituous beverages, may be sold for consumption of the premises by retail drug stores, restaurants, confectionary stores and other establishments in about the same manner as .draught beer to sold. 5. Whisky and other spirituous beverages Will not be sold for delivery by drug stores, but the purchaser must go in person to make the purchase. 6. Purchasers must sign aij application on forms provided by the excise department. 7. A limit of four quarts for any one person in a calendar day to established for spirituous beverage purchases. 8. Hours for sales are from 7 a. m. to 11 p. m., and sales are prohibited on Sundays, holidays and election days. * 9. Prescriptions are required only when spirituous liquors are bought outside regular sales hours or when the liquors are bought by a person who 1 does not personally apply for the beverage. SPRING-LIKE THANKSGIVING Thanksgiving was on Nov. 30th this year, later than in recent years, 4nd the weather was warmer than usual. In the past few years roads have been snow covered, most times the snow plows have been put to work, and Thanksgiving showed the start of winter in this locality. But here it to Dec. 7, and mild weather continues. © DIED SUNDAY. Omar Scarberry, aged 23, died Sunday morning at 1 o’clock. He had been ill with tuberculosis for years.. Hto parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.
