As the result of what the police charge was his plot to have his wife slain, Gerald A. Craig, 39, captain of the 1916 University of Southern California football team, was held in the city jail to-day on a police charge of attempted murder. Chief of Detectives Joseph F. Taylor accused Craig of planning to pay a killer $300 to beat Mrs. Ethel Craig, his 40-year-old wife, to death with a steel bar in their home in order he might gain control of a joint estate estimated at $90,000.

Chief Taylor charged he was approached a week ago by a former friend of Craig who revealed that Craig was seeking some one to kill iiis wife. The former friend, Chief Taylor charged, had approached by Craig with the proposition to kill Mrs. Craig, but had asked for time to consider the proposal, and in the meantime had notified, the police. Disguised Detective Detective Lieutenant Thomas B. Bryan, member of the police homicide squad, disguised and posing as "Buckeye" Bryan, an eastern gangster, said he approached Craig saying he had learned he had "a killing job." Bryan alleged Craig offered him $100 to kill his wife, but later agreed to give $300.

Craig, Bryan said, made all arrangements for the officer to enter the home and supplied the piece of steel with which he was to kill Mrs. Craig. Bryan was to obtain a ring from Mrs. Craig and deliver it to Craig as proof he had killed the woman, the officer stated. Steel Bar Found Mrs.

was informed of the alleged plot against her yesterday. She was taken to the police station where she gave the officer one of her rings.

To-day the hardy seventy-one live on the farms of Fertile Acres, farming, lumbering, growing flowers, happy in the belief that after the depression they will own their own farms and homes and be oat of debt. Otto G.

Hansel, landowner, saw their vision and led them toward its fulfillment At the same time he did what he considers a good stroke of business. He had acres of farm and timber land, and no so he gave tho seventy-one the option of payments in two years, built nouses, put up ik shinf le mill, and told the settten to go to It. Now they produce in the community almost everything they need, nod expect to become virtually independent in short time. Most of them are either growing produce or cutting lumber for their shingle mill. Cash derived from these enterprises, with barter and exchange of services by the specialists, forms the financial structure of the settlement.
