Other developments cited to sup- port the conclusion that more than ventle persuasion is in store: Appointment of 33 women “Lieutenant-Generals” in as many states to organize family buyers into groups purchasing under the blue eagle; Announcement by N. R. A. that motion picture stars, whose names | were not made public, will donate their services for a series of fea- turettes on recovery; Explanation by Hugh 8.

Hopkins, emergency relief admin- istrator, that hereafter his agency will buy supplies from N. R. A. stores; Submission to Secretary Wal- lace for approval of a sugar stab- ilization plan despite a threat of its rejection by western sugar beet growers. In the coal hearings, continuing Saturday, Johnson made clear that he would not permit the final code to inciude a stipulation that miners must negotiate through company unions. ‘The law, he said, guaranteees collec- tive bargaining, by labor, without such a restriction and cannot be modified. In the women’s drive, chiefs were said to have been tentatively chosen for the remaining 15 states. Each lieutenant general will organize her state, sub-groups subsequently mak- ing house-to-house canvasses to en- list women in the recovery movement. ‘The newspaper code which Johnson found unacceptable was to be consid- ered again by the committee repre- senting publishers. Friday, the ad- ministrator said simply that he had “certain constructive sugges- tions” and that he expected the dif- ferences would be “straightened out in a few days.” Sources close to him said that he disapproved g number of reservations in the newspaper code, among them the fact that it did not provide shorter hours for reporters and edi- tors. .

The administration estimated that 150,000 new jobs would be provided under the four temporary agreements, and that millions of dollars would be added to annual pay-olls and to mass purchasing power by the minimum wages. Approval of these brought to 64 the number of temporary wage and hour agreements which have been placed in effect.

A good horseman, young Challoner rode away: from the ranch of: his father, W. H. Challoner of Watford City, prominent Bad Lands rancher, presumably to round up horses on the range. When he did not return, the family was not alarmed but thought he was visiting at a neigh- boring ranch. His sister, Caroline, 14, found the youth alive but unconscious Thurs- day afternoon in a deep ravine about 17 miles south of Watford City. The horse apparently lost its step. Wal- ter was pinned beneath the dead horse. Unable to remove the horse from the boy, Caroline returned to the farm and her father, aided by a neighbor, pulled the animal away with a team of horses.

LUCILLE ROBINSON LEADS Chicago, Aug. 12.—(7)—Offsetting occasional ragged ‘play by flashes of brilliance, Lucille Robinson of Des Moines, Iowa, led Virginia Van Wie REPORTS LARGEST WHEAT CARRY OVER IN HISTORY OF U. &. Short Crop This Year, How-| ever, Reduces Available Supply Sharply MILLS HAVE LARGE STOCKS Government Revises Previous Carryover Figures Up by 20,000,000 Washington, Aug. 12.—()—Govern- ment estimates indicated Saturday that this year’s carryover of United States wheat is the largest in the na- tion’s history—385,881,000 bushels as of July 1. Despite this surplus, the total sup- ply of wheat which will be available for the coming year apparently will be about 225,000,000 bushels below last, year’s because of the smallest wheat crop since 1893. Last year’s carryover as of July 1, 1932, previously had been estimated at 362,658,000 bushels by the bureau of agricultural economics, but Satur- day it revised it upward by around 20,000,000 bushels. ‘The bureau found that commerctal stocks and stocks on farm were below those of a year earlier. Commercial stocks were about 45,000,000 bushels smaller on July 1 this year than last, but mills had accumulated larger stocks. As of Aug. 1, the crop reporting board indicated a prospective wheat crop this year of 499,671,000 bushels which, when added to the carryover, makes @ supply of 885,562,000 bushels for the coming year. This compares with a supply last year of approximately 1,110,000.000 and is about 280,000,000 bushels less than the supply available after the harvest of 1931. CANADIAN CARRYOVER SHOWS BIG INCREASE Ottawa, Aug. 12.—(7)—Canada had @ wheat carryover of 211,740,188 bush- els on July 31, the end of the crop year, the Dominion bureau of statis- tics reported Saturday. This was an increase of 79,895,382 bushels over the corresponding fig- ure for 1932. The bureau estimated the total amount of Canadian wheat in Can- ada and the United States at the end of the crop year was 219,428,398 bushels, compared with 137,733,061 bushels a year ago. The following is a list of carryover stocks of grain, with corresponding figures for 1932 in brackets: Wheat, 211,740,188 (131,844,806); oats, 42,044,- 158 (29,849,319); barley, 11,338,322 (7,195,655) ;_ rye, 5,814,727 (5,418,715) ; flaxseed, 1,179,575 (1,321,358), Class Freight Rates In Minnesota Reduced Minneapolis, Aug. 12.—(4)—Class freight rates in Minnesota on general merchandise were reduced 15 to 30 per cent Saturday to the lowest levels in eight years with approval of the In- terstate Commerce commission and Minnesota railroad and warehouse commission. This was done by the railroads to meet competition of trucks on intra- state hauls. The reductions were made by re- storing the intrastate rate in effect before the commerce commission ord- ered sweeping increases in the Fargo and Watertown cases. The advances, which took effect Sept. 11, 1925, were opposed strongly by wholesalers, manufacturers and other freight shippers of the Twin Cities on the ground that the Twin Cities were being discriminated against in favor of Chicago, St. Louis and other eastern jobbing centers and also of distributing points in western Minnesota and the Dakotas. Would Reduce Rates In Williston Area ‘Williston, N. D., Aug. 12.—()—Pe- titions for reduced electric rates are im circulation in Williston, and the campaign for reduction is reported to be in progress in many cities and towns in nothwestern North Dakota. The petitions are being circulated under a law passed by the last legis- lature providing that on petition of 25 per cent of the patrons of any public utility company, the board of railroad commissioners must enter in- to negotiations wtih the company and, if unsuccessful in getting a reduction of at least 15 per cent, must order a 25 per cent cut pending a revaluation of the company’s property for the purpose of determining what reduc- tion, if any, may be justified.

D., Aug. 12.—(?)—Harold | McDonald, subscription solicitor for the North Dakota Leader, administra- | tion newspaper published at Bis- marck, arrived here yesterday to con- tact employes of the North Dakota the car when the men fired at him Three Men Residents of Fashionable Kan- sas City Apartment Dis- trict Awakened SHERIFF EMPLOYS RIOT GUN Two Men in Car Firing at Run- ning Man When Police Officials Arrive - Kansas City, Aug. 12.—(#)—Three men, said by police to be connected with local night club operations, were shot and killed about 1:30 a. m. Sat- urday when Sheriff Thomas B. Bash discovered two of the trio exchanging shots with the third. The two assailants, who were in a motor car, were slain by Sheriff Bash, and the third, who was afoot, died from wounds they had inflicted be- fore the sheriff interrupted them. The shootings took place at Armour Boulevard and First Ave., in a fash- ionable apartment house district. Sheriff Bash identified the dead as follows: Ferris J. Anthon, the man who was afoot; Sam Hogg, and Gua Fasone, alias Sam Stine. Police records show Anthon was indicted Sept. 29, 1932, by a federal grand jury in Chicago as a member of an alcohol ring. A third man in the motor car oc- cupied by Hogg and Fasone was cap- tured when he attempted to flee and another was reported to have es- caped. The captured man gave his name as Charles Gargotta, 33, and denied he was in the killers’ car. Sheriff Bash, accompanied by Lawrence Hodges, a deputy sheriff, was driving home. He saw a man running and two men in the front seat of a big black sedan shooting at him. The runner returned the fire and fell in the street. Taking a riot gun from the motor car, the sheriff got out of the car Hodges, and said he cal and his deputy. The two men in the car slumped in the seat, fatally wounded. Gargotta was taken, the Sheriff said, when he ran across the street firing a revolver at the offi- cers. Mrs. Anthon, who had been stand- ing on the opposite side of the street, screamed and rushed to her husband. She told officers her husband was locking his motor car when someone started shooting at him. The sheriff called in agents of the department of justice to aid in fer- reting out the motive for the slay- ing of Anthon.

At least Robert Garrison, one of those wh long has sought the source of placer gold, believed Saturday he had found it in a shaft at Old Baldy mountain. Hundreds of persons, call- ed by Garrison's cry of “pay dirt,” are hurrying 1» the mine to see for them- selves the ore which Garrison says is producing gold at the rate of $15 to $100 to the square yard. It is 70 years since the first cry of an exultant miner sent. the gold seek- ers into Alder Gulch and it has been 10 years since the monster dredges of the Virginia City Mining company sucked in their last draught of earth and found it useless to go on.

TOUHY GANGSTERS ARE INDICTED FOR HAMM'S KIDNAPING Gus Schachel, ‘Father’ Mc- Fadden and Willie Sharkey Are Implicated St. Paul, Aug. 12.—(%)—Two true bills naming four “Terrible Touhy” gang mobsters of Chicago as the William Hamm, Jr., kidnapers were returned Saturday by a special fed- eral grand jury. Federal Judge Robert C. Bell fixed bail at $100,000 each at the request of L. L. Drill, U. 8.-district attorney. The four men named are Roger Touhy, chief of the Chicago gang, and three of his henchmen, Gus igbaabel, alias Gloomy Gus Schafer; ie “Father” “McFadden, arid Wil- lie Sharkey. All four are held in Milwaukee charged: with the $100,000 abduction of the millionaire St. Paul brewer, ‘ Charge Transportation The indictments charged transpor- tation in interstate commerce of a kidnaped person held for ransom and conspiracy to transport in interstate commerce a kidnaped person held for ransom, both charges coming under the so-called Lindbergh kidnaping law enacted by congress in 1932. Certified copies of the indictments will be sent immediately to the U. S. district attorney's office at Milwau- kee, with warrants issued here for the men. A removal hearing for the quartet is scheduled for Milwaukee Mondaye The four were picked up at Elk- horn, Wis., July 19 when their au- tomobile crashed into a telephone pole and a rookie policeman took them to the police headquarters. There during a dispute over how much damage should be paid for the telephone pole a fifth man who was in the car escaped. Inasmuch as his identity has not been ascertained, no indictment was drawn for him. J 15 Witnesses Heard The bills were voted after a day and a half of testimony from 15 wit- nesses. Hamm was one of the chief government witnesses, relating de- tails of his abduction to the jurors Friday. His appearance was a fulfillment of his promise to authorities that he would do everything possible to bring his captors to justice. Other witnesses were Sheriff George O’Brien and four fellow- Wis. and Charles Tierney, inspector of detec- tives for St. Paul. Identity of other witnesses was guarded closely by the government. Hamm, seized here June 15, was freed after nearly four days in cap- tivity. . Eee re Seen | Strange But True ‘ News Items of Day | (By The Associated Press) ’GOD HELPS THEM—’ Cincinnati—C. H.

AVER FEDERAL LAW LOCKING DOORS OF GRAIN WAREHOUSES North Dakota Farmers Wire Complaint to Frank Theis At Chicago CLAIM LANGER’S SUPPORT Warehouse Unable to Dispose Of Grain Until Receipt Is Cancelled Chicago, Aug. 12.—()—Complaints that enforcement of the new agricul- tural adjustment act is effectually locking the doors of the overflowing grain warehouses of the northwest wheat belt were made to Frank Theis of the agricultural administra- tion here Friday by representatives of northwestern wheat men. They objected to that section of the act which forbids any local warehouse to dispose of grain on which a ware- house receipt nas been issued until the receipt has been surrendered and cancelled. Under such a rule, they declared, grain would cram the ware- houses because managers could not clear them and, at the same time, satisfy the needs of the local farmers by buying futures. The act would require, they said, that the farmer either sell his grain for cash or take it back to his own farm for storage. Heretofore the farmers took ware- house receipts for their grain and the elevator manager disposed of it when he had the warehouse full. Theis, who declared he was desirous of acting as a conciliator until the ad- ministration acts in the matter, read a telegram he had received from a Group of North Dakota farmers, who said their warehouses were overflow- ing and that Governor Langer had pledged support to farmers who got into trouble for ignoring the ware- house requirement of the new act.

Benson, Minneapolis, execu- tive secretary of the Minnesota asso- ciation, was principal speaker. Treating Boy Bitten By Dog With Rabies Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 12.—()—A nine- year-old boy for whom a city-wide search had been launched after it be- came known he was bitten by a dog with rabies was receiving medical treatment Saturday. He is Duane Anderson, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. D, Anderson, Duane’s father Friday night read of the search being made for a boy who was bitten by the dog. The boy's iden- tity was not known and newspaper ad- vertisements were printed and a re- ward offered by the humane society in an effort to locate the lad and no- lify him of his danger. After reading the newspaper article, Anderson warned his children not to pick up any stray dogs. Duane then revealed he had picked up a dog last Saturday and was bitten by the ani- mal, This morning the lad was placed under the care of a physician for treatment and the city-wide search was called off. ercar uber penne Steer i Lindy Sights New | | Mountain, Fjord | New York, Aug. 12.—()—The sighting of a mountain higher than any other heretofore known in Greenland and unrecorded on maps has been reported by Col. Charles Lindbregh and his wife, who are charting a northern air route to Europe. Another topographical feature which the Lindberghs reported could not be found on charts was a. fjord, or possibly navigable waterway, which they followed in- ward more than a hundred miles. Officials of Pan-American Air- ways, Inc., who received the re- ports, said both discoveries may | force sharp revision of existing | maps of the region. | | The mountain, which the report said is higher than either Mount Evans or Mount Forel, both in Greenland. and the fiord. were found on the eastern coast of the island.

DAYLIGHT BANDITS STICK UP BANK AT GRACEVILLE, MINN. Force Dozen Customers to Lie On Floor as they Scoop Up $5,500 Graceville, Minn., Aug. 12—(2)—A dozen customers and employes were forced to lie on the floor Saturday as stx bandits raided the First National | Bank of approximately $5,500. One victim was kicked in the mouth when he turned his head. Clad in overalls and straw hats, four men with drawn pistols rushed in while seven customers were trans- acting business. One shouted “This is a holdup and we mean business. |Get down on the floor.” A fifth member of the gang jump- ed out of the bandit car parked at the jrear of the bank and tore off a screen window. A sixth was at the driver's wheel. After he tore off the screen win- dow, the gunman joined his accom- | Plices in guarding the victims as two |of the men ransacked the cash draw- ers and forced the vice president, J. | A. McRea, to open the safe in the | vault. When Ira Bluhm, assistant post- ; Master, turned his head as he lay on | the floor, one of the gunmen kicked him in the mouth, warning him to “keep your eyes where they belong.” R. J. McRea, bank president, de- |Scribed the gang as “a hard-boiled and tough bunch.” He said they all \had growths of beards from one to three days old, were between 30 and 35 years old, all about 5 feet 8 inches in height and all wearing overalls. Finding the safe in the vault lock- ed, one of the gunmen commanded: “Come on, one of you guys get up there and open that safe as quick as you can.” Vice President McRea got up from | the floor and went to the vault, where he opened the safe. The raiders took all the cash. Ready to depart, the men, one by one, jumped through the rear window and got into their car, a new gray (Nash) machine. The car headed east. Railroads Abandon Rails at Rapid Rate | Washington, Aug. 12.—()—A com- |pination of factors, of which officials find the primary one to be the rapid ;development of hard-surfaced high- ways, is causing the nation’s railroads to abandon trackage at a greater rate than ever before. Figures in Interstate Commerce Commission reports Saturday show 1,800 miles of track were abandoned jin the nine months ending Aug. 1, |which nearly doubles the 945 miles; |#bandoned in the entire year ending | Nov. 1, 1932. In that same nine-months, only 11 miles of new track were constructed and in the preceding year only 38 j miles. ; Railroad and government officials jagree that most of the abandonment | | | was due to truck and bus competition on paralllel highways and discontinu- ance of mining and lumber operations for which many small lines were built | years ago. | The reason for the sharp increase in | abandonment in the last nine months, ‘as seen by one high government rail- |road authority, is that the depression |?as spurred the railroads to investi- gate and quit all lines that have | ceased to perform useful purposes.

DE CESPEDES MADE PRESIDENT WHILE PALACE IS SACK’ Least Five Members of Dreaded Secret Police Are Slain by Mobs At WRECK NEWSPAPER PLANT Resignation of All Cabinet Members Secured; Jiminez Is Among Dead Havana, Aug. 12.—(#)—President Machado's regime collapsed Saturday and its downfall was celebrated by the sacking of the presidential palace and the killing of at least five members of the dread Machado secret police. Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, former ambassador to the U. S., was named Provisional president as exuberant and sometimes vicious mobs were wrecking the fixtures of the presiden- tial palace and coursing through the streets cheering and singing. All communication with interior Cuba was cut off and the capital was ignorant of what was going on there. Shouting opponents of Machado stormed the office of Heraldo de Cuba, a newspaper which had sup- ported him. The building was set on fire and the interior wrecked. Piano Furnishes Souvenirs Meanwhile another mob carted a Piano out of the presidential palace, and carried it to the office of the Diario de La Marina, an opposition newspaper. There the pano was broken into bits to provide souvenirs of this great day in Cuban history. General Machado was believed to be at his country estate outside of | Havana, heavily guarded but not in- | jured. | One of the mainstays of his regime, | Colonel Antonio Jimenez, who head- ed the Porra—the secret police—was shot dead by soldiers. His body was ‘Kicked about and trampled on. Two {of his companions were wounded gravely. Exactly how many members of the Porra had been slain could not be established, immediately, but the tote? \| Was at least five. A howling mob, carrying its y ers shoulder high, marched the streets to attack the Porra quarters. Taboo Military Man ‘The army, which made possible the collapse of the Machado regime after having been its mainstay for years, took the course of demanding thas the successor to the chief executive's post must not be a military man. On dependable authority it was learned the resignations of all mem- bers of the Machado cabinet had been presented. Everywhere the people seized on “manos arriba!”—“hands up”—as the theme of the revolution. Soldiers, addressing throngs from balconies, drew repeated roars of ap- Piause. The mere sight of uniforms, which last week inspired fear, was sufficient to start demonstrations. When the police thronged to the revolutionary side the city was left practically uncontrolled. But the People were so exuberant that chances of serious trouble were small. President De Cespedes was ape proved for the post of chief execu- tive not only by all of the political factions, but also by the army. At 12:30 p. m. the Cabana fortress gave the new head of the nation a salute of 21 guns. At the request of the president, General Alberto Herrera will remain as secretary of war. For two hours Saturday morning—until 12 o’clock— General Herrera was the legal presi- dent of the nation, as he had beer raised to the post of secretary of state temporarily that he might succeed Machado, whose removal became ef- fective before noon. All this was according to a pre-are ranged plan. Italian Air Armada Completes Long Hop Fiumicino, Italy, Aug. 12—(®)—Gen- eral Italo Balbo and his comrades of the Italian air armada completed the | Journey of more than 12,000 miles to | Chicago and return when they alight- ed here Saturday afternoon to the cheers of hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic spectators. Premier Mussolini accorded General Balbo and his fliers the highest evi- dence of personal esteem and fer- vently embraced and kissed the bearded general on both cheeks and embraced each officer. Balbo'’s colleagues in the govern- ment, the inventor, Guglielmo Mar- coni, and the king’s aviator cousin, the Duke of Aosta, gave him a similar welcome. U. 8. Ambassador Breckenridge Long gave the general a cordial hand- shake. Huge throngs blackened the banks of the Tiber throughout the after- noon, chanting Fascist hymns. They broke into thunderous applause as the squadron came from Lisbon, Portugal. AMEND EXPORT RULES Washington, Aug. 12—(#)—Gold @x- port prohibitions have been amended by the treasury department to permit the shipment of the metal in the form of unretorted amalgam, cyanide preci» Pitates, concentrates and unsmelted ore. The ruling, which has been for- warded to customs collectors, was based on an opinion handed down recently by Attorner General Cume | Veterans bureau, I mings.
