By the Associated Press. WILLISTON, N. Dak., December 15. —A farmer and his son today stood formally charged with first-degree mur- der for the slaying of a family of six persons. The son, Charles Bannon, 22-year-old farmer, was in the county jail here, confessed killer of Mr. and Mrs. Albert E. Haven and their four children at the Haven farm, near Schafer, last February. The father, James F. Bannon, retired farmer, was held at Toledo, Oreg. awaiting arrival of North Dakota au- thorities to return him here. He was arrested Saturday at a tourist camp at Waldport, Oreg. While the son is alleged to have ad- mitted that he alone killed the Havens after a quarrel over chores at the farm, State’s Attorney J. S. Taylor of McKen- zle County said today he planned to question the father regarding certain events contained in Charles’ confession. Falling 130 feet inside a chimney stack in Birmingham, England, recently, Henry Cottingham was killed instantly.

CANADIAN CENSORS DEPLORE GANG FILMS Province Declared Increasingly Dependant Upon U. S. for Its Motion Pictures, By the Associated Press. )RONTO, December 15—“The number of films purporting to reveal or depict gangster and underworld life in_ Conn. Ave. & M St. CLEARANCE SALF BER 15, 1930 the ‘big city’ has given the board some concern,” states the annual report of the Ontario Board of Motion Pictures Censors submitted yesterday to Hon. E. A. Dunlop, provincial treasurer. The report says Canada is becoming increasingly dependent on United States motion pictures. Only 17 British made pictures were submitted to the board during the year, out of a total of 2,022 film subjects, “Promiscuous use of firearms,” the Teport said, “not only in gangster films, but in those portraying contemporary domestic life, tend to make such films unsuitable for this country, where the carrying of a weapon is an offense and where confidence in the law is such that the citizen is unarmed.” Foremost Amongst Specialty Shops Watchman Trussed, Store Robbed.
