But unlike 1928, Senator Borah 1s preparing to campaign in the agricul- tural belt of the northwest next fall in opposition to the Hoover farm re- lief and tariff revision programs. The Idaho senator said today he had been requested to make some speeches in the northwest states and added he was seriously considering acceptance. However, he must first take the rest which has been commanded by physicians. That rest will probably be for two months and will be taken in Idaho, if the doctors approve. Borah was one of the leaders of the band of western Republican Inde- pendents who fought for the export debenture principle of farm relief, which was by President Hoover. This same band also sought unsuccessfully to confine tariff re- vision to agricultural products alone. The Idahoan is prepared to defend these contentions of the Republican Independents. Several of the group are up for reelection this year and Borah himself is a candidate. He is ready to take the stump. He is ready to contend that the farm problem will not be settled until the program of the Independents is adopted. It is unlikely that Borah will get into action before mid-September or October. There is no itinerary for his speaking tour and none will be made until he completes the period of rest he has been directed to take. Considerable interest attaches the- prospective.

Meanwhile, President Hoover is pre- paring to cross this same agricultural territory this summer. However, the presidential trip is expected to be confined to sight seeing alone and so far Mr. Hoover has no plans for any speeches. Among the places which the sen- ator intends to visit is Ne- braska, where’ friends of Senator Norris, « candidate for renomi- nation, have urged him to speak. Borah indicated today that he hoped to go into Nebraska. Norris was on the opposite side of the campaign stump from Borah in 1928, supporting Alfred E. Smith’s candidacy for the presidency.

CURTISS HISTORY IS CLOSELY LINKED WITH AIR CONQUEST Dead Aviator Was Once Holder of Motorcycle Speed Record; Got Scientific Recognition New York, July 23.—(—Glenn H. Curtiss nurtured the young science of aviation in the middle years of its development when fainter hearts had grown discouraged. At the age of 16 he started a bicycle shop, as did those other pio- neers of American aviation—the Wright brothers—and from that went into bicycle racing. He sought some means to make them go faster but there were no engines that would meet the demand so Curtiss decided to make one. ‘With a tomato can for a carburetor, he built his first motor bicycle in 1901. He continued to experiment with light weight motors and evolved his famous V-type motor, a departure in design reflected in the radial air- Plane engines of today. In 1904 he set a speed record at Ormond Beach, Fia., of 10 miles in 8 minutes and 54 seconds, and in 1906, ; over the same course, traveled faster than man ever before had, a mile in 26 and 2-5 seconds or at the rate of approximately 140 miles an hour. That record stood for years. Put Motor in Balloon His fame spread and drew the at- tention of the late Major Thomas Scott Baldwin, builder and operator of balloons. In 1904 the two men met in Hammondsport and installed a Curtiss motor in Baldwin's balloon, the California Arrow. With this ma- chine they made a circular flight at Oakland, Calif., in August 1904, first to fly that way. From that time on the name of Curtiss has been as closely linked with ) airplane as horse with buggy, ship with sea. ~ Dr... Alexander. Graham Bell, in- ventor of , Commissioned Curtiss to build @ motor for a man- carrying kite. Mrs. Bell joined with him in financing what was called the aerial experiment association.

Mrs. Ries received a severe gash on the leg, and one of her children suf- fered cuts about the limbs. Mr. Ries and the other child escaped without serious injuries. ‘The injured were taken to a hos- pital at New Leipzig by a passing motorist. Wyman is belieced to have suffered a broken back and internal injuries. ‘Wyman came here October 10, 1877, when he was awarded a contract to butcher livestock at the army post at old Fort Abraham Lincoln, south of Mandan. He had resided here prac- tically since that time. One of the early day settlers in this section, Wyman engaged in a num- ber of en He drove a stage coach from Mandan to the Black Hills at one time.

Y., to undergo an operation for appendicitis. The operation was said to have been suc- cessful and he was reported recover- ing rapidly. Mrs. Curtiss came here with her husband and has been almost con- stantly at his bedside. She was hastily summoned when the aviator became unconscious this morning, but arrived after his death. Hospital authorities stated death was due to pulmonary embolus, caused by a blood clot on one of the brenn arteries leading out of the eart. MENOKEN RESIDENTS BATTLE WITH FIRE Practically All Residents of Bur- leigh County Town Turn Out to Fight Flamés (Tribune Special Service) Menoken, N. D., July 23.—Practical- ly all the residents of this small com- munity, 13 miles east of Bismarck, turned out last night to help fight a fire which razed an old frame store- house and caused damage estimated at $1,500. The storehouse was owned and operated by A. T. Welch in connec- tion with his general store. He said the loss was partly covered by insur- ance. Tools, lumber, and general sup- ioe in the building were a complete The fire broke out about 11 p. m., the cause being unknown. Mr. Welch believes either defective wiring or marauders were responsible. The vil- lagers battled with the flames to pre- vent spread until the building burned to the ground about 4 o'clock this morning. The Welch store, about 20 feet from the burning building, and a pri- vate automobile garage owned by Mr. Welch, were threatened but little fasbee was done to these two build- 1g3. Firefighters formed a bucket line from the city well to the blazing building but could do little, other than to prevent spread of the flames because the fire had gained too much headway before it was discovered. Mr. Welch this morning said he did not plan to rebuild the storehouse. Fire Drives 200 to Street in Duluth Duluth, July 23.—(#)—Two hundred persons were driven to the street at 2 o'clock this morning when fire broke out at the Spaulding hotel, with dam- age to the structure, one of the largest in the city, estimated at from $90,000 to $100,000. ipepearicee Rais dina bee aaa | Healthiest Girl’s | | Lips Taboo Liquor 4 oe ee New York, July 23.—()—The na- tion’s healthiest girl avoids alcohol, tobacco and rouge and eats meat but once a week.

Disregarding modern comforts and conveniences, except for pillows, blankets, and a mattress, the five tree-men each evening climb the trunk of their home and roll in for a night of deep slumber and commun- .| fon with nature. The boys are Herbert H. Hanson Jr., 14, 819 Fifth street; Gregory, who is celebrating his eleventh birthday today,.and Graydon, 7, sons of G. A. Dahlen, 831 Fifth street; Paul Wach- ter Jr., 12, 832 Fifth street; and Jack Smith, 11, son of J. B. Smith, 805 Fifth street. The tree-home, a sturdy box elder, is in the back yard of the Hanson home. The home is a wood platform, about six by 10 feet, braced securely in the ‘branches and covered by a large canvas canopy which protects the young men from the rigors of un- favorable weather. The boys built the home in one day and will spend their third night with the birds tonight. They hope to sleep in the tree as long as the weath- er permits, TEMBLOR WORST SINCE SHOCKS AT MESSINA IN 1205 Hundreds Known to Be Injured; Destruction of Property Also Is Great SHATTERS COMMUNICATIONS Accurate Count of Dead and In- jured Impossible; Rescue Work Is Started Naples, Italy, July 23—(#)—The terror of earthquake, so sharp and frightful that the number of the deaths from fright in Naples alone was estimated at 50, struck southern Italy today in three shocks that caused the most widespread devasta- tion since the great Messina quake of 1908. A Rome tabulatign placed the num- ber of dead at 251 more than twice that number injured. Because of shattered communica- tions and the difficulty of reaching victims imprisoned in the wreckage, an accurate count of the dead and injured was unavailable. The old university city of Bologna was visited by 22 shocks in the month of April, 1929. Though in these in- stances damage was slight and in- juries negligible. Reports said thousands of houses had either been demolished or wreck- ed to the point where they will have to be pulled down. These include some rich old palaces and also churches and provincial cathedrals. Relief workers returning from Melfi to Potenza reported that a large num- ber of houses had caved in there while the historic castle of Frederick the Second was virtually ruined. The railway station was badly damaged. At Rionero many children were in- jured in an orphan asylum when the roof gave way. One woman in this town was killed while acting as a shield for three children, all of whom were killed with her. Early reports showed the following casualties: The towns most seriously affected by the earthquake as reported author- itatively were as follows: | -Melti—160 dead. " Rionero—20 dead, 60 injured. Rapollo—20 dead, 30 injured 4 San Sossio Oaronia—i4 dead, 1 injured. fi Barile—11 dead, 40 injured. In addition to these casuaitics there were scattered deaths in various sur- rounding towns. San Rex Sossio Baronia was de- stroyed by the quake. The mayor of Villanova Del Battista and his entire family were killed. Other reports said casualties were recorded in Avellino and Potenza. The tremors shook buildings and the casualties resulted from the col- lapse of walls, church steeples and the like. , Some Hurt in Panic In all the cities the frightened resi- dents ran into the streets panic stricken, and some injuries resulted from the commotion. The shocks were felt as far away as Ancona on the Adriatic coast, and at Chieti, Teramo and Aquila in the Abruzzi region. The violence of the three fatal shocks — grade seven on the mercoli scale— was indicated by the calcula- tions of seismographers that, had it reached grade ten on the same scale the whole city of Naples would have been destroyed.
