She jbecame ill while milking cows last |Sunday morning, according to infor- mation received by Paul W. Boehm, Adams county state’s attorney, and died before a Mott physician was able to reach the farm. Dissatisfied with the doctor's pro- nouncement that her death was caus- ed by heart disease, brothers of Eichenlaub requested the state’s at- torney and Acting Coroner G. A. Howard to call an inquest. The woman's stomach was sent to the University of North Dakota for a chemical analysis, to determine whether she might have died of poi- soning.

Charles L. Lindbergh when it landed on flood waters near Hinghwa, northern Kiangsu Province, Saturday and for a time it was feared the craft would be geriously damaged and even its occupants harmed. Coming in sampans, tubs and any- thing floatable, the throng surged} around the plane, snatching at pack- ages it contained. The desperately hungry natives wanted food and were bitterly disappointed when they learn- ed the plane brought only medical supplies. Col. Lindbergh, Dr. Heng Liu, di- rector of the national flood relief commission's department of hygiene and sanitation, and Dr’ J. N. Grant, American faculty member of the Peip- ing Union Medical college, who made the flight, took off almost immediate- ly to return to Nanking, deciding they could do nothing except save the plane from possible damage. Flooded For Month Hinghwa has been flooded for near- ly a month, its residents being forced to make their way around in various tercraft. Speaking of the incident Col. Lind- th said: 8. 8S.

At least until “the country is in better condition.” the president said, voluntary associations. business and the general citizenry should réalize a need “not to increase but to de- crease the expenditures of the federal government.” However, his call for a halt in what was termed the annual massing up answer as to the administration's course toward taxation. Congress Seeks Cure It fell almost in the midst of diverging proposals by members of congress for curing the nation’s fis- cal ailments. Some continued their’ advocacy of new federal borrowing to meet the deficit. mounting number called for addi- tional taxation, whether upon in- comes, high and low, general sales or luxuries. The administration's answer is due within a month or six weeks. As an example of what he meant by taking the pending pressure off the coming congress, President Hoov- er cited and praised the action of the American Legion in voting against demands for new bonus leg- islation. Hoover said the Legion had “set an example to other voluntary bodies in the country in its determination to make no requests of the next con- gress.” As a further instance, he told of 271 bills introduced in the last con- Had all of them been passed, he said, additional appropriations of $6,100,000,000 would have been called for during the current fiscal year and nearly $17,000,000,000 during the next 10 years. These demands, the president ex- plained, came mostly from voluntary associations, group interests, sec- tional interests and business. “We are all familiar,” he sald, “with the energies they show, both in direct pressures upon congress and their individual influence in the massing up of pressures. “This is a time when they should emulate the American ion in standing with what is the wish of the administration and the great majority of congressmen and sena- tors—that 1s, not to increase but to decrease the expenditures of the fed- eral government.” Briefly the situation being attack- ed by the president is this: Receipts for the current year are $241,000,000 less than at the same time last year. Expenditures are $170,000,000 greater. The deficit last year approached the billion-dollar mark.

From the welter of discussion trail- ing the American Legion's demand for a referendum on the liquor ques- tion arose Saturday a pledge by an anti-prohibitionist that a bill for re- peal of the Volstead Act would be introduced soon after congress con- venes.

He asserted an overwhelming majority of both houses of congress would oppose submission of prohibi- tion to the voters. Representative Britten saw in the, Legion’s vote the “death-knell” of Prohibition. He asserted if the serv-! ice organization and the American Federation of Labor would use “their, tremendous persuasive ” they’ could bring about repeal of the Vol- stead law during the impending con-; mal session. . ‘Two dry leaders trained their ite upon the Legion’s vote, while a 1 forecast the American people would) not he swayed from their prohibition, Dr. Dan A. Poling, national chair-| iman of the allied forces of prohibi-) {tion, described the veterans’ action as a “fundamental mistake.” He added that while regretting it, he did j not question the good faith of the Legion. His statement, made in Ore-| gon, coincided with an announce- iment of plans by the board of strat- jesy of the national conference of or- {ganizations supporting the eighteenth amendment for an intensive political campaign designed’ to reach every potential voter. Holds It ‘Confusing’ | Describing the Legion's resolution {as “confusing,” F. Scott McBride, su- perintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, said “as for a prohibition re- ferendum, for which the Legion seems to be groping, the Anti-) Saloon League will be ready at any time to meet the issue of repeal.” | Ernest H. Cherrington, general sec-| retary of the World League Against Alcoholism, said repeated statements by wet newspapers that President ; Hoover would continue to support prohibition for political reasons was a tacit confession “that the majority of the voters of this country are dry.” Meanwhile, an attack upon the Le- gion by Dr. Clarence True Wilson, general secretary of the Methodist Episcopal church’s temperance board, asserting “numbers of staggering drunks disgraced the uniform and yelled for beer” drew a counter-) charge from the League for Modifica- tion of the Volstead Act. “I would suggest that Dr. W&son ; put his own house in order and con- }fine his criticisms to those of his or- ganization who vote dry and drink wet,” said former Senator Hans- {chairman of the league.
