Dry Agents Who Killed
Farmers Face Trial
In Oklahoma
SHAWNEE, Okla., July 6.—(/P)—
Jeff B. Harris today awaited trial on
two charges of murder and two oth
er men faced single murder charges
in connection with the death of two
fanners in a gun fight during a
search for liquor, while members of
the Shawnee American Legion Post
appealed to President Hoover ‘to ex
tend its (the government’s) pro
tecting hand to thwart prosecution”
of the accused.
The three men under arrest —
Harris, Tom Little and Jack Wil
liams—were hot regularly employed
as federal agents, Prohibition Com
missioner Doran, in Washington,
and other high federal officials said,
but H. K. Hyde, assistant United
States district attorney at Okla
homa City, said the three men had
been deputized by W. W. Thomason,
federal prohibition enforcement
agent. Thomason also was sought
on a charge of murder. ^
The fanners were slain when the
three men accompanied Thomason
to the farm of James Harris, near
Tecumseh, to search for liquor.
Jeff Harris says he glanced up from
his search and saw James Harris
coming toward him with a shotgun.
The raider went for his gun. he said,
and both men fired about the same
time, some of the shot from the
farmer’s gun striking Jeff Hanis in
the neck and shoulder.
Oscar Lowery, brother-in-law of
James Harris, started to run when
the shooting started and Jeff Harris
says he fired, wounding the run
ning man. James Harris fled to a .
strip of undergrowth, along a small ;
creek, but the raider says the farm- :
er came out of the bushes with his
gun held ready and he, Jeff Harris,
shot the farmer in the abdomen. (
Europe Digs Out ^
Of Storm Series
In Which 28 Die
LONDON. July 6.—(£*}—Central
Europe dug itself out today from
debris of a series of storms which
swept down from southeastern Ger
many and killed 28 persons, injur
ing hundreds, in Czechoslovakia.
Austria, Jugoslavia, Germany and
Switzerland.
The storms, which at times
reached hurricane intensity and
exceeded 100 miles an hour velocity,
did widespread damage, destroying
growing crops in some districts,
tearing down telegraph and tele
phone wires, and interrupting rail
road traffic.
The disturbances began in Ger
many, as hail storms tore down
through Bohemia and Moravina,
and swung eastward, turned into
Austria where they raked the re
public’s length and breadth. Here
the disturbance divided, one section
sweeping south through Jugoslavia
and another continuing westward
into Switzerland.
The wind reached a velocity of
100 miles an hour in Austria, in
terrupted shipping on the lakes and
in the Danube, and maintained an
average of 75 miles an hour. It
was particularly violent near Nur
emberg, Germany, where on peas
ant was killed, thousands of win
dows smashed by hail, and many
homes partially destroyed.

made.
Roads were jammed for miles, and
the airport was crowded with spec
tators when the record was equalled
shortly before midnight. The crowd
increased as the Stinson-Detroiter
monoplane, City of Cleveland, rode
through the darkness, concealed in
the murky atmosphere high above
the airport.
The waiting crowd watched anx
iously as the next hour passed, and
joined in a terrific outburst as the
record was 6et at 12:10:52. Rockets
ind flares were released in salute to
the airmen, a display of fireworks
idded to the brilliance of lights at
the field.
Crusing Lights Seen
A little later the cruising lights
of the ship appeared as the pilots
dropped from the altitude of 3,000
feet which they had held early in
the night. Twinkling against the
darkness the lights swung about the
lirport, straightened out to the east
ind then climbed again.
Thinking that the flight was to
rontinue, the crowd tried to disperse

Less than ten minutes later the
wheels touched earth. Then the

around hundreds crowded the ship,
hanging to the wungs and tail as it
was taxied to the hangar of the
Stewart Aircraft Corporation, back
ers of the flight.
Mitchell and Newcomb rose smil

into the company’s offices inside the
hangar and many of those unable

it it with their hands as thev
sought souvenirs. It was not seri

INDIANAPOLIS
TIRE SHOWN
Balloon Tire That Shared
Winner’s Glory Is At
Denison’s Station
One of the Firestone gum-dipped
balloon tires that shared the glory
with the winners of the 500-mile In
dianapolis race on Decoration day
is on view at the Denison service
station. Thirteenth and Levee, lo
cal Firestone dealers, where it is
attracting much attention.
R. D. Wilson, manager of the sta
tion, in discussing the race and the
tremendous interest shown in the
sport, said:
“This race marks the tenth con
secutive time that the tire honors
have gone to Firestone, and the
fifth year that Firestone gum-dip
ped balloons have been chosen by
the winners. You will remember
that four years ago De Paolo made
a new world’s record at Indianapolis
when he won at an average soeed
of 101.13 miles per hour on Fire
stone gum-dipped balloons. Last
year the honors went to Louis Mey
er for an average speed of 99.482
miles per hour on Firestone tires.
“This demonstration of toughness
and durability at sustained high
speed, it seems to me. leaves noth
ing to be said. You see, the exclu
sive Firestone patented process of
gum-dipping, doubles the flexing
strength and life of the toughest
twisted cord by saturating and in
sulating every strand of every cord
with pure liquid rubber before the
cord is built into the tire carcass.
This prevents destructive friction
and heat within the tire—making
possible this sustained high speed
performance.”
