Session to Consider Rail and Bus Code Washington, Nov. 19.—(?)—Legis- lation designed to improve the con- dition of the nation’s transportation facilities by placing railroad holding companies and motor trucks and busses under federal regulation is ready for action at the coming ses- sion of congress. It has been prepared by Chairman Rayburn of the house interstate com- merce committee to meet the revolu- tionary development in the past-dec- of highway and airway trans- portation, oil and gas pipe line sys- tems and electric transmission. ‘The Texas Democrat plans to press consideration, of two measures, one to place railroad holding companies under the jurisdiction of the -inter- state commerce commission and the other to repeal the recapture clause of the transportation act, thereby re- leasing federal claims against rail- roads of $362,000,000.

Y¥., Nov. 19.—()—Gov- ernor Roosevelt, when he moves out of the executive mansion next month and before he enters the white house March 4, will be “a man without a home.” Between Jan. 1 and the time he is inaugurated he will be boarding and rooming at many places. True, one of them will be his mother’s home at Hyde Park and others will be his town house in New York City and the Roosevelt cottage at Warm Springs, Ga., but at each he will have little time to do more than unpack his bags. After he retires from the executive mansion, Roosevelt will spend some of the time before his inaugural in New York state but most of it in the south. The president-elect, it is un- derstood by his close friends, is con- Heart Ailment Fatal to Solon Who Fathered Enforce- ment Legislation Seattle, Nov. 19.—(?)—His health broken by a strenuous and unsuccess- ful campaign for reelection, U.

The 69-year-old senator had enter- ed the sanitarium 10 days ago to re- cover from the fa- tigue of his poli- tical fight against § Homer T. Bone, Tacoma Democrat, hoping to leave ; templating a visit to Florida. One of his associates has invited him to go ‘on a houseboat cruise off the Florida Coast with fishing as an extra lure. The governor has made no definite plans beyond Jan. 1 and has accept- ed no engagements. Roosevelt's occupancy of the ramb- ling old executive mansion virtually ended Saturday when he left for a two-week vacation in the south. He zu not return until the week of Dec. 1, Nye Said Improving At Washington Home ‘Washington, Nov. 19.—(?)—Senator Nye of North Dakota, who was injur- ed in an automobile wreck last week, was reported improving at his home Friday upon his arrival from a St. Paul, Minn., hospital. Mrs. Nye said the senator would be removed to the naval hospital here, @s soon as his condition permits, for a thorough X-ray examination. “At no time since entering the hospital at St. Paul,” said Mrs. Nye, “has Senator Nye been able to move himself but it. is believed his back weakness is occasioned by the broken ribs and badly bruised and muscles. Close examination has fail- ed to reveal any spinal injuries and rest should have him on his feet in) @ week or 10 days.” Amy May Go After Another Air Mark within two weeks ~ for the national capital. But he had not been in robust health since he underwent a series of operations three years ago and the ardor of the campaign aggravated a heart affliction of long standing. He died at 2. a.m. with his son and daughter—Harry B. Jones, Seattle at- torney, and Mrs. Arthur Coffin of Yakima, Wash., at his bedside. Senator Jones’ detegt by Bone end- ed his record of 33 years of contin- uous service in congress. At the time of his death he was Republican whip and third ranking member of his par- ty in the senate. During the latter part of nis ca- reer, Jones achieved a reputation as a sponsor of prohibition enforcement legislation that gave him rank with former Representative Andrew J.

BY LAND OWNERS Poured Million Into North- west in Month Fargo, N. D., Nov. 19—That the regional Agricultural Credit corpora- tion has in its one month of opera- tions loaned a million dollars to northwest farmers and is preparing to pour out millions more of new credit for the rehabilitation of agri- boring states was the information presented to the land owners’ con- ference in Fargo Friday by John W. Barton, manager of the corporation for this district. Barton maintains headquarters in Minneapolis. Hundreds of applications for the new barnyard loans are pouring into the Minneapolis offices daily, he re- ported, and said most of these loans were not out of line with the col- lateral available, and the great bulk of them will be approved. In addition to the barnyard loans, two other types of credit are avail- able, feeder loans and loans on stored grain or other stored farm produce. North Dakota farmers are expected to make wide use of the grain stor- age laws, utilizing the North Dakota grain storage act. Application blanks for the grain storage loans were be- bid mailed out of Minneapolis Satur- lay. At the afternoon session the asso- ciation also heard C. F. Mudgett, manager of the Bank of North Da- kota, discuss at length the farm loan- ing operations of the bank; W. E. Byerly tell of the operations of the state land department of which he is manager, and a short talk by James S. Milloy, representative of a Minneapolis newspaper and formerly. secretary of the Greater North Da- kota association, now chairman of the board of that organization. Loaning agencies doing business in the northwest do not want more land and are foreclosing only as a last resort and when the farmer has prac- tically abandoned attempts to meet his obligation, O. M. Corwin of the Corwin company of Minneapolis and other representatives of the loaning Agencies told the conference Satur- lay. H. A. Snell of the National Life Insurance company, Corwin and oth- er speakers reported large land sales had been made this year and Snell said in all his experience in the loan- ing and land. business he had never known a time when farmers were in & more “buying-minded” attitude than at present.

C., Nov. 19.—(#)—Coh Raymond Robins, missing since Sept, 3, has been found alive but suffering from amnesia. ‘The far-flung search for the phil- anthropist, lecturer, peace advocate and friend of presidents ended late Friday in this village, high in the Appalachians. A bearded man in dirty overalls who has made his home here for several weeks un- der the name “Raymond Rog- ers” was identi- fied by his nee phew. Described as a sufferer of ame nesia, the prohi- bition leader was in seclusion Sate urday in the Mc Mahon hotel, combination hos- ing house. Residents of this town of 500 said Robins had been here since early September, tramping the mountains and looking for min= erals. Occasion- ally he took time off to make po- litical speeches urging the reelec- tion of his friend, Herbert Hoover. They knew him here only as “Ray- mond Rogers.” The philanthropist and dry crue sader disappeared Sept. 3 while en route from Maine to Washington to keep an appointment with President Hoover. His disappearance gave rise immediately to conflicting reports that he was a reprisal victim of rum- runners, that he had been kidnaped. by Russian imperialists and that he was suffering from amnesia. Robins did not recognize his nephew, John Dreier of New York, it was said. Mrs. Robins was expected in Ashes ville Saturday, a dispatch from Brooksville, Fla., the Robins’ home, said. Accompanied by her secretary, she left immediately upon being in- formed of her husband’s being found, Two federal prohibition agents were posted at the hotel to prevent intrusion. Dreier presumably ar- ranged for medical attention for his uncle when in Asheville, 60 miles from here, Friday night. He said Robins was in “sound physical con- dition.” Identification of the missing dry leader was credited by Dreier to fed- eral prohibition agents, who were here on other business. Frank Red- mond, the town’s barber, pointed out to them the resemblance of the man here to a picture of Colonel Robins in a newspaper. Consulted Washington ‘The agents communicated with J, Ed Kanipe, deputy prohibition ad- ministrator at Asheville, who in turn consulted Washington. Residents described Robins as friendly but not intimate with them, He spent most of the time in the sur= rounding mountains, “prospecting,” they said. Robins, who is 59, participated in the Klondike gold rush in the ‘90s and became wealthy. He also was interested in woodcraft and built a look-out in a tree on a mountain back of his small hotel here. He spent much time there writing, na- tives said.
