Friday, March 6, IfSl WKKl/ (Hn^^THK (.OAFER8 a __________ (From Manufacturers Record) Oklahoma City recently tested "unemployment" by demanding that an hour or two of labor 'be given in return for meals. Such u ]>olicy brought forth a welcome hcgim, states the Daily Oklahoman, for it required but a few* days to solve the unemployment problem in so far as professional idlers were concerned. As soon as loafers 'learned thai they had to work for their food and were faced with the choice of working or starving they left for other places. As the Galveston News asserts, in citing Governor Sterling's experience With the spokesman for a delegation purporting to represent farmers and unemployed: "In more than one instance unemployment agitators have shown marked distaste for work when offered an opportunity to earn a living by working. And beyond question the country is infested with bums who are oj]|y too content to live on public generosity." Undoubtedly the panhandler has made the most V)f opportunity to appeal to the public sentiment. lTneinployment has -been great enough without adding t<> the number. <JThc Tulsa World comments that men, asking individuals ??u the street for the mi ans to -ecure food, when led to ea ing plaie.- promptly disappear ?mo:1.. was wnat they wanted. It is n< unusual, when no money itendi : .. !<>i m < ]> : Vint- of thistripe to pas.- on muttering curse-1 and threats. Professional Ix'ggnr- and idlers. a<cording to poltce departments of large cities, form a cnifruderable proIKirtion of those at the soup kitchens and hake shops, socking food intended for the worthy. There are nor.mally 1,500,1)00 people in this country unemployed in good times. Most of them would not work if they had work. So it is desirable, in any analysis made of actual distress and in all measures taken to bring about relief, to separate the parasite from the industrious man who should be given work whenever it is possible. ? Treasury Opened For Veterans Loans Washington, Feb. 27.?.Congress today opened the treasury to increa-e loans to World war veterans over the objection of President Hoover. The veterans' loan relief bill l>ecame law when the Senate voted i?'? to 17 to disregard the presidential veto after acrimonious debate which brought demonstrations from the crowded galleries. Hy a similar decisive margin the House yesterday overrode the "no" of Mp. Hoover. The legislation allows the voter ans to borrow up t.n half the face* value of their compensation certi- J ficntes which were allowed by Con- I gross seven vears ago over President. I Coolidge. Veterans' Administrator Hines to* night began employing additional help to meet the demands from the .'1, tOO,000 certificate holders eligible to obtain the loans. The average loan available to the former service men" will be $o00. Interest of 4Va per cent is charged. While the president feared the treasury would bo called upon for $1,000, 000,000 by the legislation, others estimated the demand would not amount to much^ver half that amount. A littk' later President Hoover announced he had issued orders to the veterans bureau to give complete priority to veterans in need in administering the loans. One of the objections that he raised in his veto message was that it was applicable to all veterans alike and that some veteran- m need of aid ftould not benefit by :t. "Although 1 have been opposed to the bonus bill," the president -aid. "now that it has passed we propose to facilitate it- working in everv wa y." Seventeen bandits had a field day in four bank robberies on Wednesday. At Hastings, Nob., the robbers got $27.17.'! after they had bound and gagged 13 officers and employes of the bank as they appeared, and held them in the basement until the timelocks on the vault doors operated at 8:45 a. m.; at Dayton, O.. three men held up the officers ten minutes after the hank opened for business and got away with $ 18.0(g); >;it Burlington, b is., the bandit-, using machine guns, robbed a bank of more than $10,000, and at New Orleans bandits robbed the St. Roch branch bank and escaped with j?26,(XX), after a running battle with the police. I. ... . ? -X- ,. Veteransf Hospital Assured For State The Chronicle on Wednesday received a mee**ge from Senator K, I). Smith, at Waahlngton, which brought the welcome new* that South Carolina is soon to have a three-hundred bed veterans' hospital. The message from Senator Smith re^ds as follows: \ ? "Hospital bill has been signed by President carrying Senate amendment for twenty million dollars which assures, according to General Hines letter to me, ono million^ three jtundred thousand dollars for a three hundred bed hospital in '.South Carolina." / A second message from Senator Smith on Thursday morning advises that South Carolina will be the first to get this aid. It reads: "Following passage of hospital legislation and signing by President, 1 immediately called on General llines and he advises that the committee to Select a site in South Carolina will ln*gin inspection within a week .01 ten days and upon selecting site a survey will be made, bids advertised for and construction will get under way. General Hines says that the board having these matters in charge has decided that the South Carolina hospital will he the first one to begin construction in view of fact that South Carolina now has no hospital facilities for veterans."

Smith wa? granted a now trial immediately after the verdict wba returned lute tonight, Judge John 3. Wileon granting the motion for tlie defense and aaaertlng that the verdict was excessive. The jury reached agreement about 11:30 o'clock tonight after htwing l>eei? out since 3:30 oVlock this afternoon. ^ a Smith 'was tried for the fatal shooting of Gilstrap in the kitchen of Smith's cafe in Liberty last fall. Motion for the new trial was offered by Mendel L. Smith of counsel for the defense. It was resisted vigorously by the state in the limited time allowed for argument. Testimony was concluded this morning with the appearance of the defendant on the stund a^ concluding feature. Smith, claiming that he shot in self-defense after' Gilstrap had first cursed and abused him and then had come toward him with an open knife, told the story of the ,fatal occurrence in his restaurant. Gilstrap, whom he claimed he had befriended often and who was actually in dobt to him at the time of the shooting, came into the restaurant in the afternoon of the fatal day and he waited on him. He said that Gilstrap ordered pepper and when it burned him, became enraged as others in the cafe laughed at his discomfort'. A few minutes later, Smith said, Gilstrap came to the rear of the restaurant and 'behind the counter to the kitchen with the knife, at which time he felt called upon to defend himself. Kfforts were made by the state to show that Smith had bought rubbing alcohol to drink on the day of the shooting but the defendant asserted he had not drunk any of it, having bought it to rulb his sore aide. The defense sought to show that Gilstrap bore animosity toward Smith, had threatened him and was unruly when under the influence of an intoxicant. S[ Arguments lasted two hours with W. Clarence Mann opening for the state, Mendel Smith and I). W. Smoak speaking for the defense and Solicitor J. G. Leatherwood closing for the state. - " t Her Mother Dead Mrs. H. S.
