Oct. 5.—()—One. man was killed—struck by a truck— when a group of farmers attempted to stop five trucks hauling milk to Chicago Saturday. The man was Herman Slater, 41, a farmer living five miles south of Burlington, Sheriff C. F. Erickson said he was informed tl between 150 and 200 men massed a mile south of Kenosha early Saturday and tossed planks in- to the path of five trucks bound for Chicago. The first truck, swerved to the left, striking Slater. Another ran over him as he sat in the road. The trucks did not stop. Erickson pursued William Leahy, driver, and returned him to Kenosha, detaining him without charge pend- ing an investigation. MILK TRAINS REACH CHICAGO UNDER ARMED GUARD Chicago, Oct: 5—(?)—Crews of deputy United States marshals, armed with shotguns and side-arms, brought the milk trains of one railroad into Chicago Saturday past the picket lines of striking dairymen. But bands of roving strikers blocked the $1.75 now paid by Chicago deal- ers. Raiders poured kerosene into the milk cans on many Illinois and Wis- consin farms, and bored holes in the milk pails at one Boone county, Illi- nois, dairy farm. Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, presi- dent of the Chicago board of health, estimated the strike had cut off about 40 per cent of Chicago's usual supply. Pickets camped all night at a Bow- man dairy plant at Herbert, Ill, in Boone county, and deputies were dis- patched to keep order. Dislodged on some roads, the farmers moved to others in groups of 25 te 100. “Flying squadrons” of non-striking farmers, members of the Pure Milk association, escorted shipments from northern Illinois. United States Marshal William H. McDonnell posted 50 newly recruited deputies on the trains of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad on an or- der from Federal Judge John P. Barnes, issued at the line's request. Rioters had halted trains of the line by piling lumber on the track, seizing and dumping the milk cans.

Hartnett’s home run gave Chicago 8 second inning lead which the Tigers tled.in the third, The Tigers were outhitting the Cubs consistently. The Cubs, their pitching resources reduced but growling for revenge sent James (Tex) Carleton, tall right- hander, to the box. A former Cardi- nal, Carleton was knocked out of the box in less than three innings by the Tigers in last year’s series. Despite snother raw, wintry day, the bleacher crowd was bigger than the day before. Close to 48,000, it was estimated, were in the stands, wrapped in heavy coats and blankets, ime time, Greenberg Still Out The Tigers were stilt minus the services of Hank Greenberg, slugging | tizst, baseman, Manager Mickey Co- chrafie, Was. satisfied to stick to his revamped lineup, with Marvin Owen at first and “Flea” Clifton on third. Greenberg’s left arm, injured in the second game and badly: swollen Fri- day, was better. It was said he might be in shape to play Sunday, if needed. As @ result of Friday’s brawl be- tween Umpire George Moriarty and the Cubs, resulting in three of the home team,- including Manager Charley Grimm, being chased out of the park, extra police were on hand &s @ precaution.

But a final determination of industri- al progress during the month awaits the issuance of governmental and other statistics not yet available. Europe's troubles tended to restrain the ardor of stock market bulls, inter- rupting: the boom in security prices whieh followed: the annouricement: ot a “breathing spell” for industry, but other indices continued on the whole to rise. What effect, if any, the president’s pronouncement had on these indices is a question on which there are var ing views, and no attempt to deter- mine the effect is made in this article. ‘Though there were some exceptions, the end of the first month showed most barometers of industrial activ- ity at or near the peak for the year. One discouraging feature, however, was that though expenditures for di- rect relief dropped during the month there were no figures showing a marked decline in the number of un- employed. A sign considered healthy was an in- crease in bank clearings from $4,- 261,026,000 for the first week in Sep-/rants charging first degree robbery as tember to $6,401,824,000 for the last week of the month. Some of the months more encour- aging developments included: Announcement by U. 8. Steel of a $140,000,000 program for plant chages and improvements. Declaration during September of 64 extra dividends, as compared with 45 @ year ago; and increased dividends in 44 securities as against 22.

A report submitted by the council’s committee of 13 ab- solved Ethiopia, but failed to specify Italy as the aggressor. Ethiopia demanded that the League impose military pen- alties upon Italy as an aggressor. : The council decided to appoint a committee of six to inves- tigate. An extraordinary meeting of the assembly was called for next Wednesday. The Italian delegate argued the movements of Italian troops in Ethiopia constituted only necessary reaction to an “act of provocation” (Ethiopian mobilization). tee In London there was silence to a suggestion of Mussolini that fleets of Great Britain and Italy be recalled from precau- tionary movements. In Paris officials said the idea of military measures by members of the League of Nations at the behest of the League as a sanction against Italy had the’ missing youth, said Paul “dis-|_. liked” .school and “threatened” to leave home rather than become a pu- pil in the Stanley schools which op- ened the day Paul disappeared.

He is five feet in height, has blue eéyes, and his four front teeth are double. |Four Facing Robbery Charge in Mill City Shakopee, Minn., Oct. 4.—()—War- ‘an outgrowth of the shooting and wounding of Carl E.

TTALIAN ATTACK EXPECTED \ ETHIOPIAN TROOPS. ISENT HERE * lle day of 1933. It was a task which re- quired him to work long and gruelling hours but today the comptroller looks to be in excellent health and at peace with the world. Charles Simon, a lawyer in the treasury department and former as- sistant attorney general in North Da- kota, comments that he does not see how O'Connor stood up under the strain. At one time, he said, it was possible for the department to answer only the telegrams received. The let- ter mail piled up mountain high as O'Connor and his aides struggled to straighten out the most involved tangle in the nation’s financial his- tory. Now, however, that situation is pret- ty much in the past. Only a few of the banks which failed to re-open at the termination of the bank holiday still are in liquidation. They are be- ing closed up ‘at a maximum cost of six per cent of the total deposits in- volved. That, in itself, is a record, and one talking with O’Connor easily sees that he is proud of it. The record of the comptroller has received much praise and few knocks during the last two years but no boost was more sincerely appreciated than a letter from Charles G. Dawes, form- er vice president and once an occu- pant of the same office which O’Con- nor now holds. a APPRECTATES4PRAISE FROM ‘HELL AND MARIA’ In a letter to O'Connor, Dawes ex- pressed his admiration for the man- ner in which the work piled up by the bank holiday had been handled and the way in which the banking situation had been straightened out. Since the letter came from a man who would have real appreciation of the difficulties involved and one whe was a member of the opposing party, O'Connor felt that this was the final accolade. Every day there comes to O’Con- nor’s desk @ confidential statement, showing the position of the various closed banks still uder his control. It discloses that only a few of the thous- ands of banks which came under his charge still are in liquidation. The The fall of Aduwa, first objective of the Italian drive into| others have been strengthened and Ethiopia from the north, was both reported and denied. At Addis Ababa, capital of the black empire, it was said | closed. unofficially that Aduwa had been occupied by Italians without resistance. At Rome, an official communiqtte stated Aduwa was still in Ethiopian hands, and in a virtual state of siege. Simultaneous with the report that Aduwa had been occu- pied, Ethiopia asked the League of Nations council to invoke military, naval and air sanctions against Italy immediately. The war fronts were like this: The Aduwa Sector: The Italians, based at Asmara in Eritrea, were using a force of 100,- 000 men, with planes, tanks, cavalry and every modern device of war. Opposing them were 100,000 tribes- rren—some reports said they had mod- ern rifles ‘and machine guns—com- manded by Ras Seyoum. Coming to their aid Saturday from the south was a force of another 100,000 men. Although Ethiopian warriors at Aduwa, they were meeting plenty of resistance a few miles east, around Adigrat and some villages in that area. One report said the Ethiopians had/ retaken Adigrat, which fell to Ital- jans Friday. Reports said 700 Italians and 1,300 Ethiopians had been slain in the Danakil fighting. Mussa Ali Sector: The Danakil desert, running down the Eritrean border, connects with the Mussa Ali sector where most re- ports agreed there was fierce fighting. Information as to casualties around Mussa Ali vvas .ague. The Italian stroke at Mussa Ali ap- pears to be part of the general move- ment of troops from Eritrea into northern Ethiopia. It was along the southern front, wever, that ..aly appeared to be pushing the thrusts that most seri- usly menace the Djibouti railroad pa j E | I z ; ft BH the Italians found no; battle in the Danakil country; it fixed the Ethiopian casualties at 1,300. Estimate Casualties London newspapers estimated that from 5,000 to 7,000 troops, in all, had fallen in three days of fighting. Reports at Addis Ababa said Ethio- pians had reoccupied Adigrat, stormed by the Italians in their march on Aduwa. On the other hand an offi- cial statement at Rome said one Italian and one native Eritrean army corps reached advanced guards at Adigrat and Entiscio in the north and dispersed them. A second army corps overcame the enemy at Dara Tacle and advanced south. The Italian government in a note to Geneva denied it had bombed a hospital at Aduwa. Reuters estimated the casualties there at 63. At Djibouti, in French Somaliland, panic was reported among foreign residents of Ethiopia. The Ethiopian emperor consoli- dated his Red Cross organization to care for the wqunded. U. 8. to License Munitions Makers Washington, Oct. 5.—(?)—Taking a preserve re-opened or their affairs definitely The business has been reduced to @ routine operation and O’Connor now has time to receive his friends at his office in the treasury building. It is a significant thing that practically every North Dakotan who goes to Washington on business calls on him, even though he was technically a Cal- ifornian when he was appointed. It is he who opens the doors for most of them when they wish to see other high officials in the government. O'Connor likes to do it, for the days of his activity in his old home state are pleasant memories. He does not scorn the base‘ degrees by which he ascended to his present position. x * *® ALL THEY NEED IS PLACE TO INVEST MONEY Since no other man in America is in position to know as myich about the banking situation as O'Connor, his views are interesting. The bankers, he asserts, are happier now. All they need is a place to invest the money with which their vaults are bulging and the world would be their oyster once more. As business opens up they are finding this problem less and less pressing. Responsible people again
