He Was I GOVERNOR'S SON FOUND GUILTY ZANESVILLE, Ohio, April 9—Young Hal Donahey, son of the Ohio governor, today was found guilty of contributing to the delinquency of Lillian Vogel, 15. He was fined $100 and costs and placed in the custody of juvenile court until he becomes 21. Lillian, who Donahey admitted taking to Golumbus last Sunday night in his roadster, also was placed in the custody of the court until she attains her majority but was not fined. The charge against Lillian was incorrigibility. Judge Clarence Graham, before whom the cases were heard, reprimanded Lillian for her actions but said he could see no advantage in fining her. James Huffman, the Governor's Executive Secretary, who appeared in court with Hal, said he did not know whether Hal could pay the fine and that his father might want him to "lay it out in jail." The decision of guilty and the sentence followed a hearing in probate court at which Lillians boy and girl friends were the principal witnesses. They testified that Donahey took Lillian to Columbus, offering to "fix it with the butler so that she could stay at the executive mansion." Mrs. Donahey, Hal's mother, bit her lip nervously but showed no other signs of emotion. Hal looked dazed.

The debate drew from the premier one of the most outspoken admissions of financial difficulties ever heard from the head of a government.

"Ever since the war, we radicals have been demanding a capital levy. The interests of the country demanded it." Herriot declared. The Premier said that France expenses during the post war period had been greater than those of the world war itself, adding: "I want no more silence. I want to talk and tell everything." France's external debt deprived her of political liberty. Herriot declared, while the floating debt was 91,000,000,000 francs.
