PICKARD J1 .. .. 'HL I vvl I J. B. Payne. FEDERAL aid l not Deeded and Dot wanted by the American Amer-ican Red Crosu, according ac-cording to the statement state-ment made by John Barton I'ayne, chairman chair-man of that organ!-tatlon, organ!-tatlon, to the house aubcomniittee t n a t wai considering the Interior dVpnrtmenl appropriation bill, Mr. I'avne said the cen tral committee of the Red Crosa hnJ adopted two resolutlona, as follows: Tbat It la the sense of the central rommittee that the Red Cross Is In a position adequately to complete the task It has undertaken In the drought stricken areas, and it hereby assumes the responsibility of completing said task without public appropriations." "Tbat it is the sense of the central committee that the Red Cross csnnot accept the administration of the funds for general relief purposes, as provided pro-vided for tinder the terms of the bill which has passed the senate and is now riding j0 the house." Senators who upheld the senate's attempt to give the Red Cross a $25,-ROO.000 $25,-ROO.000 relief appropriation rallied to the defense of that plan and, led by Robinson of Arkansas, denounced the Red Cross, President Hoover and the administration generally. They gave notice that they would filibuster against the general appropriation bill unless what they consider to be adequate ade-quate relief for the drought areas Is granted. INCREASING pressure In behalf of the plan to make Immediate cash payment of bonus certificates to Vorl4 war veterans was met by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon with a statement to the senate finance committee that uch payment was neither needed nor economically sound, and he more than lutimated that legislation to that effect would be vetoed by the President. Itoth he and Undersecretary Mills told the committee that the proposed bond Issue of $3,400,0110,000 for the1 retirement retire-ment of the 20-yenr bonus certificates would not only disturb government finances, but would prolong the business busi-ness depression. Naxt day they repeated re-peated their arguments before the house- ways and means committee.

The board's revolving fund is to be credited with the coat of the grain at prevailing prices. rjIJIN' that as 11 Attorney Central Cen-tral Mitchell. attorney general of the United States be has the right to pass on the professional profes-sional and ethical fit-ncRs fit-ncRs of candidates for places on the federal bench. William D. Mitchell has openly and vigorously attacked, at-tacked, the qualifications qualifica-tions of Ernest A. Michel of Minnesota, recommended for Ju dicial appointment by Thomas Schnll. blind senator from that state. Schall hag retaliated by questioning the good taste of Mitchell's action and declaring declar-ing tbat unless Michel Is nominated the post will remain vacant. The attorney general In this statement state-ment asserts that Michel Is not qualified quali-fied for a Judgeship and Infers that Schall's recommendation was in payment pay-ment of a political debt. "President Hoover," he adds, "has raised a standard stand-ard of Judicial appointment In which political 'usefulness' does not enter. He has refused repeatedly to be bent by such motives. I am sure that the people of Minnesota approve of his attitude. When It comes to Judicial office they want men about whose qualifications there Is not room for difference of opinion, not men appointed ap-pointed to pay political debts." Senator Schnll ccepted the issue and replied: t "'I am farced to the conclusion that the attorney general displays less than good taste to say the least when he makes reference to the payment of political debts. It Is an inferential insult to the people of our state to even Intimate that they would consider consid-er political expediency rather than sound qualifications and Integrity In their choice of a Judicial appointee." POSSIBILITY of another controversy with Canada loomed when it was announced that the two masted auxiliary auxil-iary schooner Josephine K of Nova Scotlan registry, had been captured by a coast guard cutter after a five mile chase In lower New York bay and her skipper, Capt. William P. Cluett of Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, killed by a shot from a one-pounder On the schooner and on a garbage scow which was in tow of a tug and also was captured the ofilclals found a large quantity of liquor. After a conference In the White House, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury lowman gave out the statement state-ment that the coast guard was performing per-forming Its statutory duty in preventing pre-venting smuggling; "It is regrettable the captain lost his life, but It was simply an Incident Inci-dent to the transaction," he continued. "I feel sure the coast guard did not fire with Intention of taking life, but to prevent the rum runner escaping. Apparently the Canadian was violating the laws of the United States, which It Is the dnty of the coast guard to enforce under mandates from the congress con-gress of the United States." Lowman said a coast guard cutter caught the ruin runner transferring a cargo of liquor to a scow and a small motorboat well within the 12-mile 12-mile limit and Just outside New York harbor. He said the cutter hoisted her pennant, whereupon the rum runner tried to escape. Several warning shots were fired before the shell struck the pilot house, killing the captain and bringing the Josephine K. to a stop.

Hagan An ll-Year-Old Hero "The boy stood on the burning deck"-as a matter ot fact the decu wasn't altre nul it 'was most decidedly a "hot place" In which eleven-year-old Jack Alnsley. son of Cupt Charles Ainsley of the coal barge, Lanstorrt. found himself that morning of July Z. 1918, ofl the co isi of Cape Cod. Mas. For the Lansfoid was one ol tour barges which was being towed around the cape hy the sea going tug. Perth Amboy. when suddenly th U-IM- ne of the six German submarines wiiicD succeeded in running the gantlet of destroyers, cruisers and subchasers pa trolling the Atlantic coast and which sunk thousands of tons ot American shipping In our waters) loomed uo through the fog and began shelling the tug and the barges. After setting tbe tug afire the raider raid-er turned his guns on the barges and the Lansford was showered with shrapnel which burst over the deck of the defenseless craft. Captain Ainsley wus wounded in hoih arms, but Instead ot being terrified by the attack, young Jack -an into the cabin of his father's craft, seized a smalt American flag and waved It deflaiitlv over the rail at tbe enemy Not eon tent w'tti this gesture, he started back to the cabin to get his .22 caliber rifle to return the fire r.f the submarine's guns! But he was prevented from carrying out his indiscreet plan hy his father who ordered the lifeboat launched and the crew to get In it. . Two other boats from the othei barges were also manned and the 30 persons on the barges, including three women, wives of officers and five children, chil-dren, started for the shore less than three miles away. Although they were fired upon by the raider, none' of the women or children was wounded, but only because of the poor aim of the submarine gunners. Within a short time they reached Nauset Harbor, a short distance from Orleans and as the Lansford's boat came through the breakers, the crowd which bad heard the firing and gathered on the shore, saw young Jack Ainsley sitting in the bow, still carrying t lie American flag. Uncle Dudley Sergeant Jacob Phipps quit the army just once In bis twenty-five years' enlistment. en-listment. "Got a job with Robinson circus." he recalled briefly. "First night out with the Uncle Tom show they wanted me to sleep with the bloodhounds and jackass. Your Uncle Dudley jumped the job and came back to the army . Once the troops kicked about food. "Your , Uncle Dudley." I'hipps told them, "lias traveled from the rock-bound rock-bound coast of Maine to the golden shores of California but never on such good chow as you're getting In this man's army. Don't forget it!" A cowardly blow with a bottle of rum laid hini low as his regiment kft for the lines. . Phipps climbed from a hospital window and rejoined the outfit out-fit as soon as he was conscious. But his pep was gone. He grew morose. "Phipps is old," said the officers doubtfully. "Wlmtil he do In the line. How'll he act under fire?" Their answer came a few days later when Phipps' company captured a town. He led two platoons without losing a man. And some one had seen him when Phipps climbed upon a fire-step fire-step at "H" hour and faced his troops. "If you want to see the Statue of Liberty again follow your Uncle Dudley," Dud-ley," Phipps barked happily. His goatee pointed aggressively toward the enemy trench. Phipps was himself again.
