The man is Jackson Harnett, an Oklahoma Indian, 90 years old, and rich, because there is oil beneath the surface of land on which ha and hit ancestors once hunted the bison. You will respect Jackson Bar-nett when you learn that having in bank $1,100,000 cash, he requested and obtained permission from the government to give exactly half, to the Okmulgee boys school in Oklahoma. And because you respect him, you do not smile as the old man stands at the edge of the sidewalk, waving his arms at passing ears innocently, convinced that he, too, is regulating traffic and exercising power.

Radio Announcer Takes Dillinger Joke Seriously A current jo be about the capture of John Dillinger, with a Mae West takeoff, apparently was taken seriously by a Juarez radio annupneer last night. Breaking' into a musical program with a news flash, the announcer described, somewhat feverishly, the asserted slaying of the notorious outlaw in the same apartment house where the blond siren of the screen resides. Some EI Pasoans, unacquainted with the joke, called The El Paso Times in an attempt to verify the radio announcement. Dillinger last night was reported variously in the east, west, north and south.

Barrow and the woman were slab by officer in Louisiana this morning. The newspaper says a Texas prison official learned the father of the convict, who recently escaped while serving a 99-year sentence, was living In Louisiana and perfected an agreement whereby "consideration" would be given the escaped eonvkt if the father would cooperate In having the desperado conple "spot-led."
