“ (UP)—Funeral services were held
here today for William 8. Kelly
i West Texas pioneer and former
stage coach operator, who died yes-
terday at the age of 84.
Kelly was manager of stage lines
that operated in the 70’s with Ben
Flcklln as headquarters, later the
first county seat of Tom Green
county. He was one of the com-
missioners appointed by Gov. Rich-
ard Coke in 1874, to organize the
county. When a, flood destroyed
Ben Flcklln in 1882, he moved here
where be was a lumberman and far-

Bad marksmanship on the
part of the participants in a
pistol and shotgun battle last
night prevented any casual-
ties st a temporary camping
site near Overton.
Deputy sheriffs received a
call early in the night that
there was a lot of gunplay at
this site but when they ar-
rived the battle was over. An
investigation revealed that
one man had emptied an au-
tomatic pistol at the occupant
of an adjoining cabin and
that the fire 'was returned
when an automatic shotgun
was fired five times.
Immediately after the
shooting, the principals left
for parts unknown. They are
being sought.
, WASHINGTON, May 81. (UP);
President Hoover went personally
to the Senate today with a super-
lative grave warning to that body
against further tax bill delay.
In a rousing speech—the first be
has made before that body—he ad-
vocated a general manufacturers'
excise tax, exempting, however,
food and clothing.
This tax, which he pointed out he
and tbs Treasury had not sponsor-
ed should not be confused, he said
with the general sales tax, for thia
would be for a limited time ana
could not "be pyramided.”
A serious picture of the national
state of affairs was painted by Mr.
Hoover as he sounded hie counsel.
Foreign countries, swayed by fear
of a possibly unbalanced budget,
had started “an entirely unjustified
run upon the American dollar,” he
said as he spoke in measures of sol-
emnity to the attentive Senate.
“I have not and do not favor •
general sales tax,” Mr. Hoover said.
"It has not been proposed by the
Treasury. This is not, however, to
be confused with an extension os
the special manufacturers’ excise
taxes to a general manufacturers*
excise tax with exemptions of food
and clothing)
“This is an entirely different tax
from a so-called sales tax and can-
not be pyramided. Even this gen-
eral manufacturers’ excise tax has
in our
platform is going to be liberal,”
Snell said. “No matter what you
hear you can believe that—and it
will be satisfactory.”
“But 1 want it ciea/ that I did
not mention this to the president,”
Snell added .U he left the White
house. “I n»ver have mentioned
prohibition to Mr. Hoover, now or
at any other time.”

GARNER SHATTERS
CUSTOM TO APPEAR
DEFORE COMMITTEE
WASHINGTON, May 31 (UP)—*
Speaker Garner, in a fighting
mood, appeared today before the
House ways and means committee
in a personal plea for speedy action
on his $2,309,000,000 unemployment
relief program.
Garner shattered congressional
precedent of a generation to make
his appearance as a committee
witness on the controversial meas-
ure. His testimony marked the
first time within the history of
veteran house memebers a sepaker
has testified before a committee.
Speaking quietly and slowly,
Garner warned the committee “that
men and women are suffering from
lack of food, from destitution.”
"Cad any of you gentlemca,”, the
speaker challenged, "go back to
your districts and admit there is
no way to bring relief to the suf-
fering or that you did not attempt
to pass such legislation?"
The speaker, explaining the pur-
pose of the $100,000,000 fund pro-
vided in his bill for direct federal
aid to the destitute, said he was
not "wedded” to any particular
means of administering this fund,
but he was convinced of the abso-
lute necessity of the government
coming to the aid of private char-
ity. Under the Garner bill,
federal relief funds would be
Ed Davis, member of the notori-
ous Kimes bank robbing gang of
Oklahoma who was arrested here
last year by Deputy Sheriff Homer
Gary on a charge of murder, is
again at liberty, having escaped
from the penitentiary at McAlles-
ter, Oklahoma.
The information ot his escape
was contained in a letter from
County Attorney Jerome Sullivan
at Duncan, Oklahoma to k>cal au-
thorities. At the time Davis es-
caped, a bank robber named Smith
accompanied him.
Davis was found guilty of mur-
dering a Duncan, Oklahoma officer
and charged with seriously wound-
ing another law agent. He was
arrested at Troup by Deputy Gary
who testified at Davis' trial for
murder. He was given a life sen-
tence on the killing case while the
assault to murder indictment was
not tried.
He waa one of the lesser lights
of the Kimes gang which has about
been exterminated.

BERLIN, May 31 — (UP) —
Franz Von Papen, German mili-
tary attache at Washington just
before the United States entered
the war, was commissioned by
President Paul Von Hindenburg
tonight to form a government re-
placing that of Chancellor Hein-

gan, Deutsche Zeitung, having

tude towards F. I'ce.
Von Papen was instructed to
form a “cabinet of national con-
centration,” which would entail

Nurse’s Courage

Of Oil Operator
BIG SPRING, Texas, May 31—
(UP)—The courage o‘ an El
Paso nurse who remained stead-
fastly beside the bed of a desper-
ately sick man here handling the
control valves of an oxygen tent
had its reward today noon when
physicians reported 24-year-old
Robert Schermerhorn, the patient,
holding “his own’’ and gaining
some strength.
Schermerhorn, well known
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas
fields, tossed deliriously on
hospital cot yesterday, growing
hourly weaker. Physicans who
stood beside the cot kept an out-
look for an American Airways
plane which was bringing the oxy-
gen tent and the nurse.
Shortly before 6 o’clock it ar-,
rived. A fast automobile rolled
alongside the plane before its
wheels had come to a stop. The
Miss Grace Maloney, valedictori-
an of the graduating class of the
Senior High School, has made an
excellent record during her school
years. Her average for the past
four years it 4.6, with 5 being the
perfect mark.
This year Mias Maloney was
elected editor of the Henderson Hl-
Llfe and her ability and hard work
are largely reeposible for the suc-
cess of the high school paper. This
fall she will enter Texas Christian
University where she plans to
study journalism.
Four years ago she waa saluta-
torlan when she graduated from
grammar school and was awarded
the W. H. Powers Metal for hav-
ing the highest average for that
year.
Miss Maloney has carried
courses each year in high school
and is graduating with twenty
credits while only sixteen are re-
quired. She is the daughter of Mr.
