First reports of an effective block- ‘ade came from Sioux City, Ia., where receipts of hogs at the stock yards shrank to 3,500 Monday as compared with 6,500 a week ago and 8,500 for the same day last year. At LeMars, Ia., farmers were pick- eting roads in an effort to dissuade their neighobrs from hauling produce » to market and at Sioux City many farmers barricaded roads to halt trucks bearing produce to market. Sheriff John A. Davenport prepared to swear in 100 deputies to assist in keeping the roads open.

The finishing touches to the agreement were to be applied at a meeting between Premier Benne*i and Stanley Baldwin Monaay. Delegates estimated, however, that with all the agreements completed, the diversion of trade from the Unit- ed States was not likely to reach more than one-third of the $200,000,000 ad- ditional business Great Britain might expect from the dominions. Under the proposed agrements with Canada and the other dominions. Great Britain recognizes empire pref. erence as a definite part of her fiscal Policy.

Y¥., Aug. 15—(P)— Adopting a new method of campaign- ing, Governor Roosevelt and Speaker Garner, the Democratic national ticket nominees for president and vice president, will meet frequently during the campaign to estimate re- sults and discuss future efforts. After a conference between Roose- velt and Garner Sunday night and Monday, Roosevelt said the Texan would “undoubtedly make speeches in the east.” Roosevelt described the Democratic drive for votes as a “look, listen and learn campaign.” He said “the pri- mary objective of the campaign is to talk to the people and find out the needs of the sections, although I Probably wiil have to make one or two Speeches.” He added that his trip to St. Paul last March is an example of how he will conduct his excursions into Re- publican territory. “In St. Paul,” he said, “I had lunch- eon with Republicans and Democrats. I talked with editors, bankers, econ- omists and farmers. “I got a complete picture of the section so far as was possible in one day.” . Schedule Is E'astic Roosevelt explained that his own schedule for the next few weeks is elastic because of the Mayor Walker ouster hearing. He has, however, laid plans for 2 “big swing” to the Pacific coast in September and early October. These plans call for a route by way of Den- ver, Salt Lake City, Butte, Mont., jSpokane, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, through New Mexico and Arizona to Kansas, where Roosevelt will pause long enough to spear, probably at Wichita. Mapping of speaking itineraries {was one of the topics discussed at the jconference. governor's machine. “Hello, Governor Roosevelt, look fine,” said Garner. “Hello, Jack, how is my running partner?” Roosevelt responded. “I’m fine and you look like you've been training for a prize fight,” the speaker answered. { “Its all right. Everything is all right. Sit down and we'll talk.” And they did, far into the night. The traveling conference continued {to Krum Elbow, the governor's home at Hyde Park, and then to the execu- tive mansion here, where Garner was an overnight guest. | Talks With Farley The speaker arranged for a con- ference Monday with James A. Far- ley. the national chairman. There was no announcement con- cerning the outcome of the Roose- velt-Garner conference but it was understood the two men agreed they would push an active campaign, reaching as many states and larger communities as possible. Garner voiced his attitude by say- ing: “Governor Roosevelt, I came here to get orders from my boss. When you give them I'll carry them out.” Roosevelt opens his road next Saturday night at Columbus, O. Sept. 12 he will entrain for the middlewest, the Pacific northwest, and California, returning through New Mexico and Arizona. Garner and Roosevelt exchanged compliments for the sound films, the governor remarking, “This looks like @ pretty good team.” The speaker responded “Not a bad team at all, especially for the Amer- ican people.” Further Wage Cuts For Railmen Loom New York, Aug. 15.—()—Further wage cuts and drastic economies are to be considered by the country’s most important railway executives at @ meeting expected to be held in Chicago this week.

With the country quiet over the week-end, following the collapse of the bid of Adolf Hitler, Nazi leader, for the chancellorship Saturday, par- ty newspapers began putting out. feelers for a coalition of the Hitler- ites and the Centrists, with Genera. be Schleicher at its nead, as a neu- tral. The slate also included Dr. Franz Bracht, now virtual dictator of the State of Prussia and mayor of Essen, as premier of Prussia. The Nazis and Centrists would be represented in the cabinet, according to the press suggestions, on the basis of two to one. Meanwhile the cabine: went ahead with its plans for changing the con- stitution by providing for a senate to act as a check on the Reichstag and by reforming the election laws. Hitler left Berlin shortiy after his brief interview with the president Saturday and was remaining aloof from politics Monday. Millions of Germans, still none too certain of what the future might hold, took their ease at the beaches on a bright Sunday which was the first in many weeks when blood did not flow in political clashes somewhere in the |Reich. Van Papen Changes Mind There were indications Chancellor Von Papen had changed his mind about going before the Reichstag and ‘defying it to unseat him. Political commentators pointed out that to do ;80 would challenge the Nazis, Na- tionaliste, Socialists, Centrists, Ba- varians and Communists—a total of 583 votes, all but 21 of the total mem- bership. first with his principal advisers. The newspaper Der Montag said all the storm troopers throughout the country have been given an eight-day furlough. This was interpreted as an indication the Nazi leaders wished first to clarify the position in which the party stood as a result of Satur- day's conference. A government spokesman disclosed that when Hitler presented himself before President Von Hindenburg Saturday he told the president he de- manded a position similar to that at- tained by Mussolini after the Fascist march on Rome. Chancellor Von Papen, the spokes- man said, feels he did everything he could to give the Nazis an adequate share in the government, and that Saturday's failure to agree must be ascribed solely to them. The cabinet set at rest a rumor th: Reichstag might not be summoned, by announcing it will be caled within the time provided by the constitution, and not later than Aug. 30. Records Are Salvaged From Fire at Manila; Manila, Aug. 15.—(?)—More than 500,000 pesos in cash and many offi- cial records were salvaged Monday from the safes and cabinets of the bureau of public works and the bu- reau of land registration which were swept by fire Saturday night.

Aug. 15—(#)—The Geath list mounted to 25 Monday as farming communities near the gulf coast surveyed widespread damage from the tropical hurricane that struck in the vicinity of Houston and Galveston Saturday night. The known injured number around 150, but a more general check of isolated areas has not been made. Most of the fatalities were in vil- lages or on farms about 30 miles southwest of Galveston. where the greatest force of the storm a) t- ly centered as it whistled inland from the tumbling waters of the Gulf of Mexicc. Crops were ruined over a wide stretch of the coastal country, the heaviest loss being in cotton. Galveston, protected by its sea wall. and Houston escaped damage of major proportions, although windows were smashed. some buildings unroofed and bath houses and small frame structures demolished. The wind rose to 70 miles an hour here. Striking first at Galveston, the storm reached in from the coast some 200 miles, then veered south- west. No deaths were reported from Galveston, devastated by a hurricane in 1900, although the city was in darkness through Saturday night and isolated from the mainland due to loss of power and communication lines. While shipping interests reported comparatively light damage, G. C. El- lisor, Harris county agricultural agent, said the damage to the cotton crop alone would exceed $1,000,000. Rice and corn crops also were ruined. The death toll was expected to rise higher as communication was re- established with smaller communities. Red Cross aid was sought by Freee port and Eagle Lake. W. E. Welford, mayor of Eagle Lake, said*the fam- ilies of hundreds of tenant farmers in that section were destitute. Most of the destruction at Galves- ton and here consisted of unroofed buildings and broken plate-glass win- dows. The wind reached a velocity in excess of 70 miles an hour. The Galveston beach, parade ground for international beauty contests, was stripped of its bathhouses and con- cession stands. known as the “forest city” was virtually strip- ped of trees. Country roads were bogs and strewn with fallen trees. Oil der- ricks were scattered about the fields at Newgulf and Boling. Many farm cottages were destroyed.
