ALBRIGHT (United Press Correspondent) Washington, Dec. while business is taking stock of its true itatus in collaboration with administration authorities at Washington, the Federal reserve board, with its usual quiet efficiency, has not been inactive in building up a credit basis for a continued movement of commerce in 1930. Board members have been primarily concerned with maintaining easy money conditions deemed so necessary to the revival of con structlon and rejuvenation of the bond market. They have been active as well in entrenching the position of member banks by discouraging indebtedness to the Federal Reserve system.

With Self-Confessed Train Robbery Bandit I Rv Associated Press) PAWNEE, Dec. 8.

In the custody of California officers, Tom Vernon, 43, former wild west show rider, left here today for Los Angeles to face charges of derailing and robbing a Southern Pacific passenger train near Saugus, Nov. 10. Vennon, according to officers, has confessed he staged the crime unaided, lining up the passengers and taking approximately $400 from them after wrecking the train. Thomas J. Higglns, deputy sheriff, and Buron Fitts, district attorney, both of Los Angeles, were in charge of the prisoner, receiving him from local authorities shortly after noon and starting immediately on their journey.

California requisition papers for Vernon were signed yesterday by Gov. W. J. Hol-loway. Vernon, who agreed to waive extradition to California, denied Implication in the Wyoming robbery on Nov.

24. Fitts, in pressing California's claim for Vernon, said the prisoner would be turned over to Wyoming authorities if not convicted of the California crime. The district attorney said the engineer of the train was in a critical condition from injuries received in the wreck and that if he died Vernon would be charged with murder. Fitts added that he hoped through Vernon to break up an organized band of train robbers of which he said Vernon was a member. Vernon, according to Higgins.has served prison terms for horse stealing and other crimes.

Sheriff Allen Jones, of this county, accompanied by Higglns and Sheriff G. H. Romsa, of Cheyenne, arrested Vernon here last Sunday night. Vernon was reported to have told the officers he had come here to seek employment from Major Gordon W. (Pawnee Bill) Lillie.

Tang Sung-Chi, Nationalist army chief In addition to the other equip ment carried on the machine, equip ment for 50 firefighters in the way of lanterns, shovels, is also carried. An army range stove and camping equipment for 50 men is provided. At one recent fire in the northern part of the state the suction pump on the truck was kept going continuously for more than seven hours. More Machines To Be Obtained The flrefighting equipment has been built on the chassis of a two- ton truck. More of the machines will be turned out as fast as fi nances allow, Mr.

Brown stated. At least four more of the ma chines will be equipped during the winter and stationed in various parts of the state. Two calls have been answered by the truck since its arrival in San Bernardino, one to Etiwanda, and the other to Alta Loma. Neither of the fires was serious and both were put under control with little difficulty. Previously when a fire truck for county use was needed, it has been necessary to send to Riverside where a similar state machine Is stationed.

The loss of time required to bring the machine from there might result In serious damage in case of a bad fire. The truck looks like an ordinary city fire truck with the exception of the added equipment in the nature of tools used in fighting brush fires. The truck may be seen at the rear of the courthouse.

Tonneson's Sixth and Streets Phone 4751 At, Not so long ago fighting a brush fire or other blaze in an isolated district was a matter of sending groups of men out armed with wet sacks, shovels, picks ana various other paraphernalia. While the same equipment Is used at the present time to a large extent, there has been one noiaDie addition in the past few months-motorized equipment, consisting of fire trucks capable of making quick runs to isolated spots in mountain or valley and of furnishing a steady stream of water if any supply is available. Such equipment has recently been added to that which protects the forest and brush lands in San Bernardino county in the form of a fire truck owned by the state department of forestry and stationed at San Bernardino, 'Back Pumps' Are Carried In Truck The truck, which was equipped In the state highway yards at Sacramento, was driven to San Bernardino by B.

Brown, who will be stationed here as official driver of the truck. In explaining the operation and equipment of the truck, Mr. Brown said that the truck carries a 250-gallon tank in addition to 10 50-gallon back tanks tanks which may be strapped to the back of a firefighter and carried to the fire line. A motor-driven pump connected with the 250-gallon tank supplies sufficient pressure to pump 80 gallons per minute. While the supply of water in the 250-gallon tank will not last long at this rate of consumption, the truck is equipped with a suction pump capable of supplying 150 gallons a minute.

If it is possible to station the truck near a water supply while on a fire call, a continuous supply of water in considerable volume may be furnished the fighters. The truck carries 2,200 reet or hose. There are 1,500 feet of inch and a half hose, 500 feet of one-inch hose and 200 feet of three- fourths Inch hose. Mr. Brown said that the pump on the large tank is caoable of throwing a stream of water through the inch and a half hose with sufficient force to cover any ordinary size building.

Motorized equipment to aid In fighting fires' removed from incorporated areas is a recent development, Mr. Brown said. The first truck built by the state department was completed July 27, Mr. Brown stated. Between Aug.

The man picked her out of a crowd of girls at the home of Sheriff Sam Johnson. The youth, previously identified as Franklin by three of the accused men and their relatives and friends, was brought here today to stand before a crowd of several thousand persons and answer questions after question put to him by Prosecuting Attorney Hugh Williamson, and three men who told the prosecutor they were satisfied the man was Franklin. Charles Ruminer, father of Tiller, was picked out of the crowd by the man, who saw him through a window in the office of Ben Williams, chief defense counsel. After the youth had been identified by three persons at Williamson's office, he was taken to the sheriff's home.

A group of girls had been gathered into a room in which Franklin was ushered. He walked straight to Tiller Ruminer. "Why, hello Tiller," he said. Tiller held out her hand, then dropped her head, not meeting Franklin's glance. "It may be Connie Franklin," she said, "but he has changed since I saw him last."

Senator Borah, of Idaho, a leader of the western Republican independents, looked favorably upon the program also, provided the Senate would agree to return to the tariff measure not later than Wednesday. Senator Smoot made no comment, merely announcing "we will go ahead tomorrow with the tariff bill and we will keep at it until we know when we are going to finish." Calling attention that the Income taxes are not due until next March 15, Senator Smoot said there should be ample time for disposition of the tax resolution. With some confusion apparent on the tax reduction-tariff procedure, it was considered possible tonight that President Hoover's wishes might prove decisive in settling the question. There is a possibility that Mr. Hoover may be asked to Indicate whether he wants the tax cut put through immediately or to have another attempt made to dispose of the tariff.

Some Senators still have a hope that it might be possible to dispose of the tariff before Christmas. If it becomes apparent that this cannot be done, it is believed that all then will be willing to take up the tax resolution and act upon it at once. On the tariff measure the Senate still Is involved in the wool sched ule. Efforts are in progress to Increase the rates on other wool duties to bring them in line with the previous decision of the Senate to increase the rate on scoured wool from 31 cents a pound to 37 cents. In a statement issued through the Democratic national committee, Senator Harrison declared that "the administration Senators are jeop ardizing the decrease in taxes by delaying the tariff legislation." "It is the effort now of the supporters of the Grundy-Eyanson tariff," he continued, "to make it appear that the coalition of Democrats and progressive Republicans are holding up the tax reduction by their insistence on going ahead with the tariff revision.

It is the other way about really. "The so-called coalition is united for the special purpose of accomplishing tariff relief. It does not follow that they will all take the same view of the tax bill now being framed. Some of them think the reduction is not as great as the condition of the treasury justifies, believing that the Republican administration is holding back the relief that could be afforded now in order to have the political advantage of presenting a further reduction on the eve of the coming congressional elections next year.
