D., Aug. 25.—Fiamcs believed to have started from spon- taneous combustion destroyed three grain elevators here Wednesday night and cau: damage estimated at more than $50,000. Approximately 10,000 bushels of grain were stored in the three struc- tures. Elevators destroyed were owned by the Farmers Elevator company, the Cullen Elevator company and the Colehrabor Grain company. Discovered by Byron Nelson at about 10:30 p. m., the conflagration defied the efforts of fire departments of three towns which battled with the flames for more than three hours. Believed to have started in the dust bin of the Farmers elevator, the fire made. rapid headway and spread to the Cullin elevator in about 20 min- utes. Fanned by a northwest win sparks ignited the roof of the Cole- harbor elevator about an hour later. The Colebarhor fire department fought the flames for 20 minutes be- fore the. Underwood fire department arrived with hose-and pumping equip- ment. The department from Garri- son arrived an hour later but the equipment at the disposal of all three was inadequate to cope with the flames. Fire fighters were handicapped by their inability to reach the upper parts of the burning buildings with water. The flames threatened the Soo de- pot, situated near the elevators, but the Underwood department succeeded in saving the structure by the use of chemicals. Volunteers from Coleharbor saved a number of box cars on the tracks near the elevators by shoving them ahead on the right of way a few minutes af- ter the fire was discovered. Efforts to extinguish the conflagra- tion were abandoned about three hours after the fire was reported when it became apparent that at- tempts to put it out were unavailing. Firemen were on duty all night to prevent the spread of the flames. Officials of all three elevators said losses were covered by insurance, STAGES RALLY IN DUEL WITH DEATH Mrs. M'Cormick Turns Back From Brink After Physi- cians Had Lost Hope Chicago, Aug. 25.—()—Another amazing rally brought Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick back from ‘the brink of death Thursday. At dawn her family had been called to the bedside, expecting an end mo- mentarily of the long illness that is certain to be fatal. Stimulants were administered and Mrs. McCormick's heart and pulse became stronger. Her children then retired to their apart- ments. Encouraged a little by her astonish- ing ability to rally, Mrs. McCormicx’'s physicians emphasized nevertheless that she cannot survive long. Her resistance to the disease has been described as “amazing” by phy- sicians. Once before, during her present illness, her death was said to be but a matter of hours but she ral- lied sufficiently to greet members of her family who had arrived while she ‘was unconscious. With her are her divorced husband, Harold F. McCormick, head of the In- ternational Harvester company, and her three children, Mrs. Muriel Mc- Cormick Hubbard, Mrs. Mathilde QOser, and Fowler McCormick. Mrs. Osey'rushed to her mother’s bedside from her home in Switzerland. John D. Rockefeller Jr., visited his sister last week but returned to New York when Mrs. McCormick’s condi- tion showed improvement. He said he planned to return if her condition became worse.

Aug. 25.—(?)—Balked in an attempt to show a Republicat: “plot” to “get” him, Mayor James J. Walker went on with his defense against removal charges Thursday. It seemed likely that before the long de- fense is finished the courts will have ruled on Walker's contention that |Governor Frank D.

He said he stopped on orders from the corpora- tion counsel's office. He expressed jthe opinion a fee-dividing partner- ship between doctors was ethical. John J.

Profit-taking sales found quick ab- sorption and trading was heavy} through the forenoon session of the board of trade. At noon wheat fu- tures stood 2 1-8 to 2 1-2 cents above the previous closing, with the broad- est advance in December contracts which touched 56 1-2 cents. An unofficial report placed the Canadian prairie province wheat yleld at a probable 459,000,000 bushels, higher than previously estimated, but the pit ignored any news of bearish tint and went right on buying. Most of the day’s gains were held at the finish, with wheat 1 5-8 to 2 cents a bushel higher than Wed- 3-8 cents higher than Wednesday, with other grains up too.

Later, however, it was an- nounced that the government had decided to extend clemency. This was taken to mean the death sentence had been commuted. A mixed civil and military tribunal of the supreme court reached the verdict after 12 hours of deliberation, while the nation waited and demon- strations for and against the “hero of Morocco” were restrained with dif- ficulty by government forces. . General Sanjurjo’s lifelong friend and companion arms, General Herranz received a prison sentence of thirty years which, in Spanish law iz equivalent to a life sentence. Lieu- to: twelve years.

J., Aug. 25.—()—Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam, the first woman to fly the Atlantic alone, streaked out of the west Thursday to become the first woman to make a non-stop transcontinental flight. The official time for her flight was 19 hours, 4 minutes and 6 seconds, or 1 hour, 28 minutes, and 57 seconds} more than the transcontinental rec- ord of 17 hours, 39 minutes and 59 seconds held by Captain Frank Hawks. Mrs. Putnam left Los An- geles Wednesday at 12:26:54 p. m., Pacific standard time. Although she failed Hawk's time, she established a trans- continental speed record for women and exceeded the 2,000-mile mark made last year by Miss Ruth Nichols in her Oakland, Calif.-Louisville, Ky., to better flight. Mrs. Putnam probably flew consid- erably farther in fact, but for the purposes of her record she is only credited with the air line distance, | ed. which is approximately 2,435 miles.

Fleeing pell-mell when the firing began, the invading strikers deserted approximately 300 of their automo- biles and trucks at the scene of the onslaught. In the hurry to escape, automobiles were driven into ditches or plunged into cornfields along the highway where the clash occurred, near the western boundary line of Franklin county. Shotguns and pistols were fired at the tires and bodies of the automo- biles and trucks that led the advance of the nine-mile caravan.

The “labor prosperity program” was summarized by the executives as follows: “Wage cutting must stop. Com- petition in wage cutting and price; cutting is simply competitive suicide. | Adequate wages, adequate prices and{ adequate employment must be restor-j “Our national resources and na-: tional credit should be mobilized and employed as they would be in a time of war, for the purpose of coordinat- ing and compelling the use of the in- dustrial facilities of the nation for the employment of all those capable of self-support. “Adequate compensation thus in- sured to the workers will provide the purchasing power necessary to sup- port the agricultural and industrial production of the nation. ‘We are opposed to any permanent, socialization of business or property.

(Assoctated Press Photo) HOW PROPHET WORKS I$ EXPLAINED HERE Millionaire Political Commenta- tor Gets His Dope From Common People How Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., ar- rives at the conclusion that Franklin D. Roosevelt is going to sweep the{ northwest in November was explain- ed by the millionaire writer and poli- tical commentator here Thursday. Vanderbilt interviewed at the Pat-| terson Hotel, says the way to find out; things is to ask and when one wants to know what the common people are thinking the obvious thing to do is to go out and ask them. That, he says, is just what he has} been doing these last few weeks. In addition, he has a companion, John Brodix, a worker for the national} Democratic headquarters, who has! been keeping tab of the answers. It works like this: Vanderbilt and Brodix roll into a town in their au-j tomobile and, without disclosing their | identity, inquire about the political) situation. | Vanderbilt estimates that Roosevelt will get 60 per cent of the votes but Brodix, who has a passion for keeping records, said the count is 92 to 8 in favor of the New Yorker. He solemnly avers he has kept count and that is what the figures show. Keeps Own Figures “You can take it or leave it, says Brodix with the grim finality of a man ‘#0 keeps his own figures. Vanderbilt has talked with me- chanics, farmers, garagemen, small business people and others and has arrived at his political prophecies un- aided, except by the words of the mmon people.” Even the hometown of Calvin Cool- idge was not immune to the prying questions of Vanderbilt and his com- panion.

A total of 138 picketers were under arrest. Near Council Bluffs, Iowa, all high- ways were opened for traffic, follow- ing 24 hours of tension during which a hundred sheriff's deputies used tear gas and revolvers to disperse strix- ere. The deputies also have been armed with sub-machine guns and two of them were wounded, one perhaps fa- tally, when one of the weapons ex- ploded Thursday afternoon as its use was being explained.

A_ few strikers remained, however, on highway 34, scene of Wednesday night's disorders in which four offi- cers were injured. Meanwhile Sheriff Lainson, sheriffs of a few nearby counties, and about 50 deputies were preparing to offer armed escort to truck drivers. Squadrons of deputies, mobilized Thursday morning and ordered by Lainson to clear highways of strikers, upon arriving at roads Number 75, 6 and 7, found picketers had left.

In an impromptu speech before nearly 100 picketers on highway number 30 at about midnight Wed- nesday night, Hawn said: “The people of the cities have said for 10 years that the farmers could not organize. But now we have finally found a leader who can make us organize, and can make us rally for our principles. | That man is Herbert Hoover.” 1 Hawn, who said he had farmed in Harrison county for nearly 60 | years, was wildly cheered by his hearers. | fines or 30 days in jaul. Hearings for the others were in progress. Some Farmers Rap Movement Meanwhile, at Boone, another pick- eting center during the last week, 50 farmers called upon Sheriff Moore and demanded he keep highways open to traffic. The farmers threatened to organize an anti-picketing crew to offset Farmers’ Holiday activities. The development was seen as at least a partial collapse of the picket- ing movement, by which National Farmers Holiday association members hoped to prevent marketing of farm goods and thereby raise produce prices. At Sioux City Sheriff John A. Dav- enport instructed his deputies to stop the picketing. Before 10 a. m. Thursday 77 strikers were in jail at Sioux City.
