Money (By The Associated Press) Farmers striking for higher preduce Prices Tuesday continued trying to cut off Omaha from truck shipments and the movement was spreading like prairie fire to other sections despite) efforts of authorities to quell its more violent aspects. In Boone, Iowa, Truman Caldwell and A. L. Flickinger, farmers, were under. arrest, charged with malicious destruction of produce, in connection with the dumping of 230 gallons of cream from a truck. All cream stations and livestock markets in Onawa, Iowa, not far from Sioux City and Omaha, remained closed, but strikers were abandoning; picketing in favor of quiet conversion of individual farmers to the cause. Sheriffs in Logan, Council Bluffs, and Missouri Valley, Iowa, all in the extreme western part of Iowa, warned | strike leaders that picketing must be| attended by no violence and that; stopping a driver, telling him to re-; turn home, blockading a highway, and | molesting ‘any driver are offenses| punishable by penitentiary sentences. Halt Livestock Train A number of Nebraska farmers halt- ed a livestock train at Nacora, Neb.,/ en route to Sioux City. They opened one car and delayed the train three quarters of an hour. Deputy Sheriff P. Owen prevented} 50 farmers from pouring out B. H. Brandt’s load of cream near Council Bluffs. During the night the picket- ing farmers turned back 10 truck loads of livestock, but permitted two truck loads to pass, after drivers convinced them they had to have the money. About 400 farmers met in Missouri Valley to plan an extension of the Omaha blockade. At Sioux City, point of origin of the} non-selling strike two weeks ago, the barricades continued and an acute milk shortage was feared. | Picketings. meetings, parades, or/ action to close produce houses con-! tinued in such scattered points as Stanhope, Boone, Spencer, Cherokee, Sioux Center, Lemars, Remsen, Mar- cus, and Moville, Iowa.

Government May Act The zeal of picketing farmers in stopping trains carrying interstate commerce may be the cause of action by government authorities. With 300 Iowa farmers patrolling the main highways on the Iowa side of the Missouri river Rear Omaha in the hope of blockading that impor- tant market center, Assistant United States Attorney Ambrose C. Epperson of Omaha pointed out that hinder- ing, delaying or preventing of ship- ments could be classified as restraint got commerce—a violation of federal “law. At the same time authorities in Towa counties near Omaha warned against any violence and were as- sured there would be “peaceful pick- ting” only. Midgestern governors, with the ex- ception of Gov. F. B. Oison of Minne- sota, only Farmer-Labor state execu- tive in the country, were inclined to await developments- before taking action. Olson Munday expressed his whole- hearted support of the strike move-| been ment, even to the point of saying he favored martial law if necessary to prevent shipment of farm goods. .+Gov. George F. Shafer of North Da- kota declined to comment on this suggesion. Gov. Dan Turner of Iowa could not be reached for a statement gend Gov, Warren Green of South Da- kota doubted the possibility of aiding the cause by the means by ai Bryan Opposes Conf Conference Gov. Charles W. Byran of Nebraska replied particularly to the suggestion of Mayor W. O. Hayes of Sioux City that a conference of midwestern gov tion thus far was @ municipal and | pora’ county problem, Some opposition was seen develop- 4ng to the selling strike.

SKY QUEENS REST AFTER HANGING UP NEW FLIGHT MARK Women Land ‘Flying Boudoir’ After More Than Eight Days in Air New York, Aug. 23—(?)—The two} new queens of the-skies, Mrs. Frances Marsalis and Mrs. Louise Thaden, spent Tuesday catching up with some sleep and rest they sacrificed to set @ new endurance flight record for women. Their record making merry-gd- 1ound over Long Island ended at Val- ley Stream, Long Island, Tuesday at 5:06 p. m. (E. 8. T.), after they had} remained aloft in their Flying Bou-) doir for eight days, four hours and} five minutes. i That mark surpassed the old one! of 123 hours established last year at) Los Angeles by Bobby Trout and; Edna May Cooper by more than three | full days. The flying matrons might still be; zooming over the Curtiss airport at] Valley Stream, Long Island, were it not that Monday the continuous cir- cling around became “monotonous” and the fact that they were ordered; to land by Casey Jones, field man-; ager. Although the plane was equipped | with sleeping quarters the women said they were unable to derive any benefit from them due to the close clear. Upon emerging from the single-_ motored plane, Mrs. Marsalis asked} for and received a cigarette. Mrs.| Thaden said she was eager to go to! Baltimore to Join her husband and/ their two-yeaj-old son. She sat on the runs® 4 of an automobile and suddenly ielt faint. A physician was summoned. He said Mrs. Tha- den was fatigued and prescribed a good long sleep and the same for Mrs. Marsalis, too, who appeared in better health. . After they have rested thoroughly, they pian to fly to Cleveland to participate in the national air races. | City of Million Is Afflicted by Plague Sian, Shensi Province, China, Aug.! 23.—()—This trade crossroads of; Asia has become a cily of death in the throes of a cholera epidemic that is taking an average toll of 100 lives every day.

Attempts to settle the trouble by substitution of peaceful negotiations for firearms were undertaken at a parley Monday night at Zeigler, at- tended by county officers, officials of the United Mine Workers of Amer- ica and representatives of the. min- ets. The peace. parley was held after one miner had been killed by shot- gun fire and six others wounded in clashes Monday. Spread of the truce movement to other coal fields of the state elso was undertaken by leaders of the striking miners from their headquar- ters at Gillespie, in the central part of the state, when they announced they would send a committee to Gov- ernor Emmerson Tuesday with a re- quest he petition operators to close their mines temporarily. With the mines idle and pickets withdrawn the strike leaders hoped a peaceful solu- tion of the controversy could be reached. . Although county officers joineti in the peace parley to prevent further bloodshed in Franklin county, they still had at their call approximately 300 special deputies who were com- missioned to aid in keeping the mines open and to repel a threatened in- vasion of striking miners from cen-; tral Illinois, The invasion had been Scheduled to get under way Wednes- day morning.

HOOVER 70 LIMIT BUSINESS PARLEY tion’s Leaders to Credit and Employment Washington, Aug. 23.—(#)—Presi- dent Hoover intends to limit the dis- cussions by outstanding business men from all sections of the nation here next Friday to methods of easing credit and spreading employment.

The chief executive was described as viewing the coming conference, called by him, as one that should co- ordinate the activities of business and the government in easing credit strain. He was said to feel that credit. restriction has been lessening steadily since: June but that this movement could be up. The second object in Hoover's mind for the meeting was described as the development of plans by which the and industrial committees from each federal reserve district, which will take part, can spread em- working hours but’ alse’ by speeding urs also by 5 business activity.

RAILROAD MAGNATE | CALLED 10 TESTIFY FOR MAYOR WALKER Delaware aiid Hudson President to Tell About New York, Taxicab Control Albany, N. Y., Aug. 23.—()—Ma- yor James J. Walker, continuing his long-drawn-out tussle with foes who would tumble him into political obliv- fon, called Lenor F. Loree, railroad magnate, Tuesday to support his denial that as mayor he was inter- ested in limitation of taxicab com- petition for his own financial gain. Loree, president of the Delaware & Hudson railroad, was called to testify because he is a member of the New York city board of taxi control. After that the mayor. was expected to proceed with his attempt to show that the drive ‘to oust him from his $40,000 job was a Republican “plot” to embarrass Gov. Franklin D. Roose- velt and other Democratic leaders. He has called W. Kingsland Macy, Republican state chairman, and other leaders of the state G. O. P. as wit- nesses, John J. Curtin, Walker's chief) counsel, had Tuesday morning to polish up a brief he will submit Wed- nesday to Supreme Court Justice El- lis J. Staley.

The attempt is tak- ing place in the supreme court, the name of which sometimes misleads | since it is not the highest ranking branch of the state judiciary. LAY PLAN 70 SAVE DUCKS FROM DYING | IN BURLEIGH LAKE’ | ! !Approximately 50,000 Wildfowl : Threatened With Destruc- | tion, Sportsmen Say | Steps were taken’ Tuesday by the| |Burleigh county chapter of the Izaak} Walton League to rescue approxi-} mately 50,000 ducks threatened with destruction by the brackish water in Long Lake 35 miles southeast of Bis- marck. James Guthrie, president of the or-/ ganization, and E. E. LaFrance, sec- retary, said the birds became para-| lyzed after drinking the water in the; lake, which has fallen to a level of! one-half inch in most parts. | Guthrie indicated that a meeting would be called within the next two! days to organize relief crews to move! the birds to fresh water. Boy scouts and sportsmen of the county probably will be asked to volunteer for the rescue work. Walton League officials, in cooper- ation with the state game and fish commission, are working out plans to remove the ducks. Between 4,000 and 5,000 fowl already are belived to have died, conservation officials said. Although the water in the lake is only one half inch deep in most places, its channel ranges from eight to 10 inches in depth, Guthrie said./ The lake is approximately 25 miles long and extends from near Moffit toward Steele. Floyd B. Johnson of Watertown, 5. D., representative of the federal bio- logical survey commission, has been asked to come to Bismarck to give expert aid in the rescue work. It is planned to discharge bombs; intermittently on the lake to keep the ducks off the shallow waters. Under rescue work plans, the birds would be removed to Pursian Lake, eight miles from the east end of Long Lake, and to a reservoir near Sterling. Minnesota Veterans Ask Bonus Payment Bemidji, Minn., Aug. 23.—(?)—Im- Threat ys Political Pressure Will Not Force Pardon of Con- demned Nazis FIVE SENTENCED TO DIE Sa Hitler Asserts Their Freedom Has Become ‘A Question of Our Honor’ Berlin, Aug. 23.—(4)—Disturbing threats of reprisals against the gov- ernment for death sentences imposed on five Fascists convicted of political murder were answered Tuesday by an announcement the government “would not stand for political pressure but decide solely on the basis of justice whether or not to grant pardons.” This statement was issued after Adolf Hitler, leader of the Fascist Na- tional Socialists, had assured the five condemned men that “the freedom of each of you from this minute on is a question of our honor.” The Hitler followers were con- demned to death at Beuthen Monday after they had been convicted of kill- ing a Communist. In government circles it was said that no one did the five men or the Nazi movement worse service than Hitler himself, who scathingly denounced the Von Papen government and, it was said, identi- fied himself with men found guilty of murder. A government spokesman said that Hitler had made it extremely difficult for Chancellor Von Papen to show leniency, as any such move would be regarded as yielding to Nazi pressure. Situation Is Grave The gravity of the situation was attested in the pledge of the fascist strong man, Adolf Hitler—and that meant his powerful storm troops as well—to “battle against a govern- ment under which this (the death sentences) Is possible.” Thus all eyes were focused on Chancellor Franz von Papen and his government which promulgated the emergency decree of August 9 under which the five men were tried. All Germeny discussed the case of the quintet, three of whom were Nazi followers and two affiliates. They were condemned Monday in a mining city on the Polish border for killing a communist. The tribunal was a “speed court,” established to stamp out the violence taking hundreds of lives before the Hitler and, when the sentence came, a riot ensued. Beuthen was quiet Tuesday under the vigilance of steel-helmeted police and the rest of Germany was eager to see what the government would do in this new crisis, Reprisals Threatened Open threats of reprisals and worse were voiced by the Nazis as the forces of the political right marshalled all their pressure to force the govern- ment to alter the sentences. It was generally considered unlike- ly the five ever would be guillotined, the chancellor was confronted with the most difficult of questions, in that he must decide very soon to commute one or all the death sen- tences to life imprisonment or quash the verdict as demanded by the Nazis. The government is the final judge under the speed court emergency decree, which elinrinated the long de- lay of appeals. The nationalist press pointed to the loophole permitted by the com- mutation and cited the fact that the slaying occurred only two hours after the August 9 decree was promulgated. It is considered likely this would be the grounds for retrial or revision of the.sentences, Indicative of the way the Nazis were taking the court decision was Hitler's telegram to the condemned men, which read: (Continued on page two) —_____ ie | World Fair Hop Is Latest in Dancing Chicago, Aug. 23.—(#)—Chicago dancing masters say the very latest thing in their line is “The World Fair Hop” which they de- scribe as a sort of “glide back to prosperity.” The new dance, originated by Miss Agnes 8.

(Asso- ciated Press Photo) OBSERVERS BELIEVE JAPANESE ARMY HAS BEGUN NEW ADVANGE See Chinese Troops in Jehol Province as Menace to Railway Lines Washington, Aug. 23.—(#)—Japan is believed by observers to have start- ed the sweeping process in Jehol Province which foreign military ad- visers as well as Chinese military men have been predicting for some time. With Chinese regular troops in Jehol province, which lies immedi- ately west of Manchuria and contains the single railway line connecting Manchuria with Tientsin, Japanese troops cannot hold southern Man- churia with any security unless they occupy at least a part of eastern Jehol. So far the clashes between the Japanese forces and Chinese regulars on Jehol soil have been confined chiefly to a limited area. The Jap- anese war office says the troops en- tered Jehol for the purpose of effect- jing the rescue of Conshiro Ishimoto, a former Japanese army officer cap- tured by bandits several weeks ago. The Chinese believe the military ac- tivities are part of a plan to occupy Jehol and make it part of Pu-Yi's new domain, Manchoukuo. When the new government of Man- choukuo was proclaimed under Jap- anese auspices, Jehol was included in the territory but Jehol never has been regarded as a part of Manchuria by the Chinese. The province is an ill- defined territory about 600 miles long and 300 miles wide. At its southern end the province is less than 50 miles from Peiping, though the scene of the fighting is appoximately 200 miles from Peiping. China has long been planning to extend a railway from the Great Wall northward through Jehol for several hundred miles into Manchuria proper. ‘These railway plans have been the source of much of the friction with Japan which maintains China has al- ready violated treaties by paralleling railway lines of Japan in Manchuria. Five Are Injured in Cleveland Car Riot Cleveland, O., Aug. 23.—(?)—Nearly 30 persons rioted on a Cleveland street car Monday night, with result- ant injuries to five persons. Refusing to pay fares, the passen- gers knocked out several of the car windows, pulled the trolley off the wire and attacked the conductor, Thomas Anglin, 32. In the melee the conductor and a fellow employe, John Repaskey, who came to his ald, suffered cuts and bruises about their heads, and three of the passengers were struck heavily by the motorman’s control handle. The trouble began as the 30 at- tempted to leave the car without pay- ing their faces. ‘The passengers boarded the car, police said, after attending a Sacco- Vanzetti demonstration at the public square, Santa Claus Helpers Demand Higher Wages|~ New York, Aug. 23.—(#)—Thirty- five hundred of Santa Claus’ helpers in this city were called upon to stop their doll and toy making today. ‘The workers are members of the Doll Workers’ Industrial Union.
