C. Teague, a member of the federal farm board, told a meeting of farmers here today the greatest assistance to agri- -culture that can come from federal and state aid is the gradual develop- ment of a system of grower-owned and controlled marketing. This conclusion, he said, was one of a group of “fundamentals” which the board has laid down for its guid- ance after its 15 months of study agri- cultural problems. He pointed out that development of cooperstives cannot be accom- plished without interference with ex- isting agencies and hope the necessary t “may be brought about. with as much consid- eration for existing agencies and in- vestments as possible.” Teaque listed three other conclu- sions that are even more clear to the board:” That all of the problems of agriculture will never be solved by legislation.

Government troops are credited with two victories in upper Rio de Janeiro which remove a menace from the federal capital, while troops of President Washington Luis continue to march through Minas Geraes, on of the first three states organizing the revolution. Victories in the Sa0 Paulo-Parana sector are claimed in more than ana. This removes imm to the large city. of Sao Paulo, the first goal of the southern revolters.

The rebels predict that a Gecisive battle in’ the Sao Paulo-Par- ana region will be fought today or to- morrow.

GALLOWS CHEATED BY BANDIT CHIEF WHO DIES IN BED Notorious Bank Robber and Kill- er Succumbs to Injuries Re- ceived Yesterday ° Springfield, Mo., Oct. 15.—(?)— Jake Fleagle, notorious bank robber and killer, shot yesterday at Bran- son, Mo., when captured by a posse of officers, died in a hospital here to- day at 9:55 a. m. Fleagle was the leader of a bandit gang which obscured its trail by ruth- less murders. ‘His capture ended a nation-wide manhunt, begun when his band of desperadoes looted the First Nation- al bank of Lamar, Colo., May, 1928, in a rdbbery which has led to seven deaths. Fleagle was rushed to the Baptist hospital here and placed on the oper- ating table but efforts to save his life failed. He had asked that his moth- er, living on a ranch near Garden City, Kas., be rushed to his side. The wounded outlaw found suffi- cient strength to plead with H. D. the rebel troops in retreat, while two columns operating on the 200-mite Sao Paulo-Parana front forced fight- ing back into Parana, away from the Sao Paulo border. Insurgent quarters were silent re- garding the federal claims, making only such general statements as that the advance of the “gauchos,” or Rio Grande do Sul cowboys, continued. The rebel leaders ochegeyers a a. victory at Carlopolis, in the Jaca- rezinho sector, but this the federals disputed. Colonel Francisco Flores da Cunha, commanding at Santa Ana do Livra- mento, across the Uruguayan frontier from Rivera in Rio Grande do Sul, said the decisive phase of the battle along the Parfana-Sao Paulo frontier would come today or tomorrow. A federal force yesterday fought for possession of the bridgehead a: Sen- gues, in Parana, and won. The in- surgents left 15 dead, including their commanding officer, on the field. Other federal forces, on the left of the long rebe} front, claimed to have occupied Santo Antonio da Platina, Affonso renna, and other localities in northern Parana. ‘The federal advance is now sald to be with little opposition. Officials believe that revolutionary support will wane and the state return to the na- tional federation with but little more fighting.
