NEW BRITISH NOTE
MIT NOT BE BEK
LONDON. Nov. 29, —‘ Can’t we
get together and talk it over?”
seems to be the attitude of John
Bull toward Uncle Sam with res- j
pect to payment of the December 1
15 debt instalment.
Meanwhile, the new British note ;
to America is still unfinished and j
may not be ready to dispatch for ,
several days.
There is no change in the United j
States edict that the instalment l
must be met.
Ameiican ambassadors in France j
and Italy have wired Washington !
they are confident those countries;
will pay on time.
Rumors were current that in- j
surance had been arranged cov
ering two large gold shipments to
America on the liners Majestic and
Paris. The British cabinet denied
the report.
At Washington, Sir Ronald Lind
say, British ambassador, laid the:
ground work for payment of the !
$30,000,000 principal and $65,000,
000 interest, but sought to have the
latter postponed; he said he was
without instructions and was pro- i
ceeding on his own.
• HEARST EDITORIAL
• TAKES ENGLAND TASK
EVASION DEBT TO II. S.
LONDON, Nov. 29.—An editorial
by William Randolph Hearst com
menting on England’s apparent re
luctance or attempt to evade pay
ment of the December 15 World
War debt instalment to the United
States and England’s relation with
European nations and leadership in
such evasion, was viewed by Eng
lish newspapers as being so timely,
clear and to the point, that the
majority of the papers republished
the editorial verbatim.
Mr. Hearst said it was inconceiv
able that a great nation like Eng
land would resort to ignoring a just
debt; that the argument England
needs the m.oney does not hold wa
ter; that the United States has
more war debts than England, more
unemployment and more depres
sion.
He said it was difficult for Amer
ica to understand why England has
made such a mistake in associating
herself with either France or Italy
in renunciation of her debt.

DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 29, —In the
old days if a driver ran into a cow
and killed it the owner of the cow
would have sued for damages, but
today, the case is just the reverse.
James Killkarney was driving
home over the highway when a
cow meandereed into his path; the
cow was struck amidships and
killed outright; Killkarney’s auto
skidded into a ditch and turned
over, considerable damage being
done but the driver escaped injury.
The next day he brought suit
for damages against the former
who owned the car.

I LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29. —A real
bad man, G. Eagan, faced a judge
here yesterday for sentence for the
murder of W. K. Kirkpatrick.
His attorney had just entered a
plea in which he said his client was
of unsound mind when Eagan in
terrupted by rising and addressing
the court, said:
“Your Honor, I do not wish to be
returned to prison. I just got out of
Folsom and I deserved to have my
neck stretched. I killed Kirkpatrick
while in sound mind. We all, at
time, are of unsound minds. You,
yourself have been. Nor am I in
sane now. My two alleged complic
es are absolutely innocent and had
no part in my killing. While many
people do not believe in capital
punishment, it is the law, and un
der that law my life is forfeit. I de
mand that the death penalty be
passed in my case.”
There was no alternative for the
judge but to pass death sentence
which he did. During his entire
discourse Eagan spoke calmly and
without a trace of nervousness.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 29, —
The beer question continued to
dominate the national capital.
With both President Hoover and
President-elect F. D. Roosevelt op
posed to the return of the saloons,
certain restrictions must be decid
ed and written into the proposed
bill for repeal to be submitted at!
the lame duck session.
Many definitions have been plac
ed on saloons ,some states defining
the word as a place where neither I
food nor refreshments are served.
These interpretations are now be
ing scanned with the view of em
bodying correct text into the con
stitution.
Mrs. Kahn, Californa Represent
ative, who left yesterday for Wash
ington to form a wet bloc for the
$350,000,000 fruit industry, said
Congress must obey the mandate
of the people and include light
wines in beer legislation.
Chairman Summers called a
meeting for December 2 to consider
the beer bill and ratification by
states.
The war debt instalment sched
ule was again thoroughly scruti
niezed by President Hoover, Secre
tary of State Stimson and Treas
urer Ogden Mills. The latter said
they are waiting for the latest note
from England and that within the
next 48 hours they will know a lot
more.
In view of America’s pointed re
fusal to extend postponement of
war debt schedules, and while
debtor nations are disappointed,
optimism prevails in foreign capi
tals. And this optimism is puzzling
the administration.
The Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration reported to the House
committee that October loans in
creased $55,000,000 over the preced
ing month.
