Read Jo Darien’s answer in the new serial, “Sun-Tan,” beginning Monday, July 22 in the Bismarck Tribune (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press) Chicago, July 19—John Dillinger, the desperado whose death at the hands of federal agents last July 22 ended the world’s most famous man hunt, was described Friday by “the woman in red” ss a criminal who de- lighted in reading newspaper accounts of his crimes. Mrs. Anna Sage, popularly supposed to have put Dillinger on the spot for the G-men, added details Friday to her story which che told Thursday for the first time when she was found in Chicago. Known as “the woman in red” be- cause of the dress she wore on the night she and Polly Hamilton, form- erly of Fargo, N. D., accompanied Dillinger when he walked out of the Biograph Theater on Chicago's north- west side and into the withering gun fire of department of justice agents, Mrs, Sage disclosed incidents in the life of the gangster she says she knew she said. “He would sit down and for hours he would avidly read the details of Dillinger’s crimes. “<Jimmy’ said he thought Dillinger must have been very clever. He said Dillinger was tco sharp for the cops. Now I know why ‘Jimmy’ thought so highly of Dillinger.” of justice agents. As proof that she was not aware of “Jimmy's” real identity, she said: “‘Jimmy’ and Polly used to take Stevie (her 23-year-old son) and his girl to night clubs and amusement parks almost every night. No mother will ever believe that I would have allowed my son to accompany ‘Jim- my’ if I knew he was John Dillinger. I get cold all over when I think of what might have happened to Stevie if police or federal agents had recog- nized ‘Jimmy’ as Dillinger while my son was with him.” OLSON MAY LEAVE POLITICAL SCENE Unverified Reports Hint That Minnesota’s Governor Will Vacation 8t.

SMALL TAXPAYER MAY ESCAPE BOOST Income Experts Considering 75 Per Cent Levy on $10,000,000 Washington, July 19—(?)—Strong CALLS ON ETHIOPIA FOR DEATH BATTLE Fanatical Barefoot Warriors Cheer Selassie’s Cry for Cooperation HOPES FOR PEACE VANISH Foreigners Assured No Harm Will Come to Them From Ethiopians military preparations for the general mobilization order which is believed imminent were reported throughout Ethiopia Friday, following Emperor Haile Selassie’s speech in which he warned his subjects that it was bet- ter to die free than to live conquered.

Mayoue, in charge of barberry eradication work for the government in this and neighboring states. Talking with Walter Maddock, vice President of the Farmers Union, (Mayoue said there is prospect of con- siderable damage but that, if the weather holds good, a large part of the crop may be able to beat the Plague to maturity. He said the in- festation is bad but not necessarily fatal. He said a 10-per-cent loss is sure to be sustained but that fur- ther losses will depend on the weather. He said fields which are only mildly infected may reach har- vest with only @ 10-per-cent loss. CHICKENS GET BREAK &. Paul, July 19—()—The chickens are getting a break from the black stem rust cutbreak in the northwest. Heads on blighted small grain shrivel when the fungus drains water from the stalks. 80 the stunted kernels unfit for mar- keting are being diverted to the Poultry pens. Discussing with Maddock a field of barley on the Maddock farm near Plaza, Mayoue estimated that the yield will be reduced 25 per cent from earlier promise. Maddock ex- Plained, however, that the barley was sown late after it became cer- tain that rye, planted last fall, would not produce a jp and that neigh- boring barley fields were in better condition, Ceres Wheat Hit One disturbing observation report- ed by Mayoue was that Ceres wheat, counted on to withstand rust rav- ages, is being affected by a differ- ent type of rust than that found on Marquis wheat and other grains. He explained that the character of the spores changes during the breeding season while they are on the host barberry bush and that, as @ result, different types of rust constantly are being developed. What Ceres wheat will do in the face of this new at- tack remains to be seen. Mayoue ,reported heavy rust infes- tations in fields 11 miles south of Tagus and three miles west of Gar- rison. Otherwise most of the in- festations are comparatively light. Elsewhere in the northwest, how- ever, fear of heavy damage mounted as the weather continued hot and muggy. All experts agreed that the crops in Minnesota, South Dakota and eastern North Dakota probably would be sharply reduced. In some Minnesota counties estimates of the loss ran as high as 75 per cent. Travelers from South Dakota report- ed seeing white fields of waist-high wheat, mostly Marquis, which would not be worth cutting. Karl Klages, South Dakota state college agrono- mist, said the damage to spring wheat might run 50 per cent. Montanan Optimistic ‘H. E. Morris, state college plant pathologist in Montana, was more optimistic, saying little evidence of damage had been observed there. Fields in Manitoba, Can. were said to be affected but in Saskatche- wan and Alberta there was little fear. The principal hope to escape heavy losses lies in continued dry weather without heavy dews.
