MACHINE GUN. 1
GAS FAIL TO
ROUTFARMER
ROSS. Ky„ Nov. 24.—<*>«— A
rightin' 72-year-old farmer who
barricaded his home and drove off
ai>- county officers though they bat
tled him with machine guns and
tear gas bombs for more than six
hours, finally was captured last
night by a ruse.
One officer was wounded and
another man was hurt before the
embattled farmer. Fred Henzimeier, :
was made a prisoner.
I.ure of Business
It was the lure of bus mess that
finally delivered the aged man
into the hands of the law. Trying
to prevent a killing, a neighbor,
John Leopold, approached the
house while the officers retired
from the scene.
Leopold inquired whether Henzi- j
ireirer would sell him some corn
Cautiously the old farmer un
fastened a shutter and peered out. ,
“I reckon I might if them police !
are gone,” he replied
“Oh. I saw them going dowm the
road.’* assured Leopold. "Were they
looking for you?"
“They been shootin’ at me all
day," said Henzimeier. “but I guess
they've given up hope."’
Then accompanying Leopold
Henzimeier walked to the com crib
behind his home where three of- i
ficers pounced upon him from the
darkness.
Preparr for Battle
Six hours earlier. Henzimeier. j
refusing to submit to arrest, bar*
ricaded himself in his big stone
house atop a hill near here ana !
prepared for a battle of indefinite
duration.
He sent a charge of buckshot at
William Straus, an officer who at- J
tempted to enter a rear door.
Straus retired promptly, painfully J
but not seriously wounded
Then Ed Bforeher. a neighbor,
approached the house to apiieal to
Henzimeier to surrender. A vqlley
of shot sent him scampering to
cover, and falling as he ran he
suffered a dislocated shoulder.
Bv that time the battle was
raging Machine gun bullets bv
the hundreds were rained upon and
into the house. Enough tear gas
bombs were hurled through the
windows to have put a small army
to weeping. Yet Henzimeier held
cut.
Resort to Ru>r
Plnallv “the law' which had
nought the farmer on a warrant
charging shooting at another neigh
bor with intent to kill, decided to
resort to the ruse which resulted
in thr capture.
When the officers later entered
the house they found a shot mm,
an automatic pistol plentv of am
munition. and so much tear gas
still remaining that it caused
them suffering, and they expressed
surprise it hadn't driven Henzimcir
out.
‘ Oh.” replied the raptured but !
atill proud old man. "it didnt
bother me at all.”

ITS A HALF HOLIDAY TODAY
for The Herald force.
Never is there a full holiday for
your newspaper folk.
You must have the news, and we
must give it to you. (
When Christmas comes around we ’
do take the whole day ofl. and don’t i
feel right natural at that.
With Christmas coming on Sun- (
day this year, it's hard to tell what
to do *
Anyway, newspaper folk may |
grouch a little about this lack of ’
holidays, but they do it with a grin {
You'll find no class of people,
anywhere, who grouch more about I
their work and who enjoy that same t
work more, than do newspaper folk. '
It’s kind of like being in the arm; (
Show us a company in which all
the men are contented, and well {
show you a poor organization. a
A good soldier always kicks. "

HE ATE AN EGG 17 YEARS OLD

Almost eggs-actly seventeen years after her name and address had been written on an egg in a Mary
land general store. Mrs. Malcolm Walker of Belair. Md.. u> shown i upper right i reading a letter in which
Edgar Dobson of Baltimore informed her that he'd just eaten the egg. Below you see Mrs. Walker «left»

Bv NEA Service
FOREST HILL. Md— Tins is
the story of an egg.
And a pretty good egg it was,
too. For it was laid seventeen
years ago, and has just been eaten
—and not as a Chinese delicacy,
either.
This mti Just an ordmary Mary
land egg, beginning with a tri
umphant cackle irom a Maryland
hen and ending at a Maryland
breakfast table. Durmg th« inter
vening years, however, it rolled
around the country quite a bit,
stayed at some of the best cold
storage houses, figured indirectly
in a romance, and fmally started
an inquiry into the alleged viola
tion of cold storage laws.
Its adventures really began early
one morning in 1915 when Henry
Harlan Pyle, son of a Hartford
county farmer, drove into this town
and stopped at Eli Tucker's gen
eral store. He found the pretty
cashier, Bessie Walbeck. and Hazel
Roe busily packing eggs for ship
ment. The eggs were strictly fresh
and so was Henry. He took a couple,
of the pristine ovoids and wrote
the names and addresses of the
girls on them.
• • •
EGGS-CITING EVENTS
Every time Pyle came to town
thereafter, he inquired whether
the eggs had been heard from
Miss Walbeck always said no. but
that she was expect .ng a letter
front some good-looking city fellow
any day now. Henry began to
worry over the possibility of such
a scrambled romance, so he egged
Bessie on to marry him. She did.
Not long afterward. Bessie Roe,
whose name also was in circula
tion on an egg—the egg—became
Mrs. Malcolm Walker.
A lot of things happened after
that, and everybody forgot about
the pegs. The Lusitania sunk, and
the United States got uito a big
war. and people flew bark and
forth across the Atlantic, and
there were lour pres.dentul elec
tions, and Mr and Mrs. Henry
Pyle raised a family of five chil
. dren. And the Malcolm Walkers
moved to Be lair, Md.

A FRESH DEVELOPMENT
Only a few weeks ago, Edgar
R. Dobson's mother went shop
ping m Baltimore and bought some
, "strictly fresh" eggs. Dobson hap
pened to notice that one of the
shells contained a name and ad
dress, and after hr had eaten the
egg he wrote a letter. It said;
"Miss Hazel Roe,
Forest Hill. Md.
Dear Miss Roe:
The egg oil which your name
was written was bought w.th
others from <a store* here in
Baltimore.. .1 am ra;her curi
ous to know when you sent it
away, because we buy eggs here
as "strictly fresh" that some
times have been in cold storage
a long time.
Nevertheless, the egg was
eaten, and I am sending this
to let you know that it fin
ished its journey at my home.
Yours truly,
Edgar R Dobson,
1714 Ellamont St.
Baltimore, Md. ’
The ullage postmaster in Forest
Hill recalled tha’ ■ H Ml Roe
■ had married and moved to Belmr.
i So Mrs. Hazel Roe Walker finally
received the letter, and haster»d
forthwith to her old home town.
Out at the Pyle farm MtM found
13-year-old Henry Pyle. Jr., 'ced
ing the chickens, and four other
| youngsters scampering abut un
. der the maternal eye of ner old
friend and egg-packing *omoa:i
lon, Mrs. Bessie Walbeck Pyle.

A STRANGE WORLD
It did beat all, they agreed, the
w*-r things happen—even to an
egg And wouldn't it have been
aw-ful if Bessie and Hazel had
waited for those eggs to bring
them romance? And wasn't it fun
ny about this poor Mi- Dobson, in
Baltimore, wondering whether his
egg was strictly fresh?
But after they had finished ex
I claiming over the incident they
, figured they h<«l better tell the
j authorities about the egg. Because
' there have been some complaint*
about old eggs beuig "bootlegged”
.nto tlic market in violation of the
cold storage laws, which permit
warehousing of eggs tor twelve
months oi ly, with a grace period
oi an additional 120 days.
Health Department officer A. b
Sullivan say* he is powerless to
prevent the boot legging of eggs sc
long as they candle properly. He
exnlamed that all the warehouse
people have to do is withdraw them
from storage, ship them to Wash
ington* D C., where there is no
federal cold storage law. and bring
them back to the warehouse again
as be.ng "freshly released* from
the District of Columbia.
• • •
UNCLE SAM HANDICAPPED
The Federal Department of Agri
culture can't do anything. Indeed
it maintains that there is no way
of defining "fresh" as applied tc
an egg. Fbr an egg four days old
if kept under unfavorable circum
stances. will not "candle out" a*
satisfactorily as a storage <*gg that
is much, much older.
Of course, the Federal Traac
i Commission can prosecute, tindet
the Unfair Practices Act. anyone
selling eggs with a "strictly fresh
label when the eggs show deteri
oration.
But this particular egg—tills
venerable and well-preserved egg
that survived by many years thr
hen that laid it—did not show de
terioration. At least, Edgar Dob
son says so. and it was he who att
it for breakfast.

DEM LEADERS
WORKING ON
BEERMEASURE
WASHINGTON. Nov. 24—f/P)—A
clearly defined legislative program
calling for beer and economy to
help balance the budget, and for
relief to farmers, has been adopt
ed by democratic leaders for the
brief December session of congress.
Plans for quick action on beer
and farm relief were announced
after conferences with President
elect Roosevelt in which it became
known that he desires to avoid an
extra session after he takes office
March 4.
Pin Hopes on Beer
As represented by those who
conferred with him. Mr Roosevelt
holds as most important the bal
ancing of the budget. He hopes,
they said, that revenue from legal
ized beer and a reduction in gov
ernment expenditures will make
additional taxes unnecessary Bui
should the treasury deficit continue
to mount. Mr Roosevelt was said
to be ready to meet whatever new
tax situation arise.
He was represented also as es
pecially anxious for farm legisla
tion.
The democratic plan is to pm
through as much legislation in line
w.th the president-elect's ideas an:i
the )>arty> platform as passible tc
avoid a special session Extra ses
sions generally have been viewed
as unsatisfactory
| Meeting informally yesterday the
house ways and means committet
decided to open hearings Derembe*
7 on the revenue phase of the beez
bill. Rep. Rainey of Illinois, th'
democratic leader, and Chairmar
Collier of the committee, who hac
(onferred with the president-elect
brought the committer together.
Collier estimated !K*sib)e rev
enue from beer at S300.000.00n tc
S400 ooo.ooo annually, and said h*
j would favor the bill b} Ren oCon
! £or ,D-. N- Y 1 for a tax of *7 50 j
• barrel. He expressed doubt that
i ’hr beer tax would balance the
I budget, but that when ’ the sale ol
j brer has been legalized. I want t*
get as much revenue as possible.
*eek Farm Relief
Speaker Gamer, the vice presi
dent-elect. announced that the
democrats would seek early enact
1 n.ent of a farm relief bill and ex
pressed the hope that it would be
a non-partisan measure.
Plans to push such a measure
v err made following conferences
between Mr. Roosevelt. Garner
Rainey and Chairman Jones ol
the house agriculture committet
and other democratic legislators.
Ramey and Jones were desig
nated to arrange drafting of a bill
Rainey said he would ask farzr
leaders to confer with him prior tc
the opening of congress and iha
hearings would begin during the
first w-f-ek after it assembles
The basis of the measure will bf
the allotment plan. Rainev said
which would provide at least $250
000.000 a year for the farmers.

JAP-RUSS1AN
RIFT OCCURS
I -
TGKY'O. Nov. 24. t.4V-A rift oc
curred today in the heretofore
friendly co-operation between Rus
sia and Japan during the rebellion
in northwestern Manchuria.
This information came from Eiji
Amoh. Japanese- Charge D'Affairs in
Moscow■. who sent a Russian govern
ment communication to the foreign
office asking that tin* Japanese
military mission at Machevskaya
leave Siberia soon.
The mission has been at Machev
skaya to negotiate with the rebel
Chuiese general. Su Ping-Wen. who
captured and held nearly 300 Japa
nese a few weeks ago when he took
charge of a large slice of Manchuria
against the soviet border.
Through the good offices of Rus
sia. 120 Japanese women and chil
dren were released, and 42 more
were reported set free last week,
leaving about 100 still in the hands ,
oi Su's irregular Chinese troops
The Russian request was hand d
to Amoh by L. M. Karakhan. Tl&
commissar for foreign affairs, wh- se 1
statement said the hope of negotia
ting with Gen. Su was apparently
futile. The Soviet vice commisar
asked the Japanese to stop using
the airfield at Dauria. nearby,
where* supplies intended for the
captive Japanese had been landed.
The communication was received
unfavorably m Tokyo, especially M.
Karakhan's accompanying comment
that the soviet government was cer
tain from the beginning that Gen.
Su would refuse to treat with the J
Japanese «Gen. Su recently was re
ported as saving he would not me<*t
the Japanese, and they threatened
to wipe him out. even if it endan
gered the lives of the Japanese hos
tages )
Hie foreign office said this state- j
mcm by the Russian tended to re- ;
inforce the long-held suspicions here
that soviet influence was involved

state of Manchukuo.
