Started Latest Trouble. Tr the Associated Dress HERRIN 111, September 1.—Chief of Police A. M. Walker, in a signed statement, today asserted that Sherift George Galligan and his “gunmen” pitated the clash aturday, in which six men were killed. Klansmen at Jail Herrin was peaceful early today and residents were preparing for the usual Labor day celebration. Meanwhile authorities were dubi- ous as to the de: »pments to be ex- pected. Sheriff Galligan of William- son County, at his home in Marion, asserted that no other trouble was anticipited, but many residents ex- pre d belief to the contrary. Aften persistently denying all day that any arrests had been made of men suspected of participation in the shooting Saturday, which resulted in the killing of six men, and the calling out of the militia, heriff Galligan admitted yesterday evening that 11 prisoners had been taken, and that , nine of them had been removed to the 4 Saline County jail at Harrisburg for safe keeping Klansmen at Jail. Hardly had the news of the re- moval of the prisoners become known when a _crowd of alleged Klansmen gathered about the jail in Harris- burg, which was under guard of spe- cial deputy officcrs. No trouble resulted, Adjt. Gen. Carlos Black of the Illi- nois National Guardsmen arrived here Yesterday to view the situation and to decide when to withdraw the troops. He announced he would like to recall the militia not later than ‘Thursday. Last ght there were ru- mors that the Klan contemplat- ing general meetings throughout the country, but the only evidence of a Klan meeting was found at Hurst, seven miles from here, where a huge flaming cross had been erected.

The men arrested vesterday are Theld in connection with the death of Treputy Sheriff “Bud” Allison and Chester Reid, who were killed in front of a local garage, where Sheriff Galli- gan attempted to confi te an auto- mobile on orders from e's Attor- ney Delos Duty. This incident preci- pitated the revolver fight in which the six men wepe killed The coroner’s inquest into the death of the six men has been set for ‘Wednes: v and it has been intimated by Adjt. Gen. Black that State troops will remain here until after the in- quest. The general said last night that he did not anticipate any further disturbances. ¢ POLICEMEN SUSPENDED.

THE DEPARTMENTAL BANK 1714 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. BONDS. Sixty-Third Article. In a preceding article on the in- vestment rating of forelgn govern- ment Londs it was stated that the principal thing to be considered was the credit of the government con- cerned. As a rule the only security the holder of such a bond has {s the pledged word of the borrowing gov- ernment. This is always true of old- established governments with a long record of financial solvency. There are, however, some foreign bonds which are speclifically secured by lien on certaln revenues either ~from customs or internal taxes of one kind or another. In some cases representa- tives of the bankers who make the loan in the first instance have direct supervision of the collection of these revenues. The recently issued Hungarian loan is an example. This loan is secured by a first charge on the revenues from the customs, the sugar tax and the tobacco monopoly and these revenues as collected are paid into a special account controlled by a commissioner general appointed by the League of Nations who represents the bondhold- ers. Whenever any such arrangement is made It is possible to compare the total receipts from the pledged reve- nues with the Interest requirements of the loan and in this way judge of the margin of safety in much the same fashion as a bondholder scans the earning statement of a corpora- tion in the securities of which he is interested. Provisions of this Kind add to the attractiveness of a foreign bond whenever there is any reason to regard the risk as unusually great. Certain Central and South American bonds have been marketed success- fully because payment was secured by some such pledge. More rarely a foreign bond issue is guaranteed by other governments. The most notable instance of this kind is the Austrian 7 per cent loan put out in 1923. This issue is not only secured by pledyes of certain customs and internal reve- nue receipts, but is guaranteed in specified proportions by the principal governments of Europe. Obviously such a guarantee adds greatly to the marketability of a foreign govern- ment obligation. There are also certain foreign bonds, not government issues, but loans of railroads, utility or indus- trial companies which have been sold in this country because of the guar- antee of their own government. They vary greatly in merit. Two bonds listed on the New York Stock Ex- change of very high investment rating belong in this classification. They are obligations of the Canadian Northern Railway, owned by the gov- ernment of Canada, which guarantees. the bonds by indorsement. Their credit depends, then, not upon the railway, but upon that of the Cana- dian government. Issues of this na- ture must be judged by the standing of the guarantor.

BALTIMORE, September 1.—Plans for a campaign to Increase the use of milk in Baltimore and Washington were discussed at the seventh annual convention of the Maryland State Dairymen's Assoclation, held here Saturday, and a fund of $35,000 or 40,000 to further the campaign was pledged. g A dairy council will be established to develop the dairy industry by In- creasing the consumption of milk as well as working out the economic problems of milk handling, whereby the farmer will get a more certain profit and the consumer fuller value for his money. According to the report of the sec- retary, 30,815,467 gallons of milk were marketed during the year, or an average of 57,028 gallons each day, giving the shippers a cash return for their product of $6,475,000 for the year. : The average basic price for 4 per cent milk received during the year 1922 was 26% cents per gallon, f. 0. b. city; average for 1923 was 28 11-12 per gallon, and for 1924, 315-6 cents per gallon, Dr. A. F. Woods, president of the University of Maryland, addressed the gathering and told the farmers that the association now has in readi- ness for immediate operation a 75,000 plant for handling milk, should any great surplus develop or any trouble be experienced in the present ar- rangement of prompt home distribu- tion through city dairies. This plant could be used o manufacture milk products and thus prevent or reduce waste. Pewholders Own Land. From the Chicago News. Because deeds made from 1872 to 1875 gave pewholders in Grace Epis- copal Church of Chicago absolute title to the land underneath the seats, search is being made for nearly 50 pewholders, 50 that the sale of the church property to the Coliseum Com- pany can be cleared up. Chief Justice Fuller of the United States Supreme Court, then a practic- ing lawyer In Chicago, drew up the form of the deeds whereby the owner of a $600 pew became the proprietor one one-hundred-and-ninetieth part of the church property. Title experts say the incident is without parallel. —_— Sources of Wealth. From the Kansas City Times. President Coolidge says that the “sole source of natlonal wealth is thrift and industry, and the sole sup- ply of the public treasury is the toil of the people.” That may sound like a novel and radical doctrine to some to whom thrift, industry and toil are noy at all inviting. These take the view that the real source of wealth is the, national treasury itself, and that everything necessary to bring about an_equitable distribution of that wealth is generous legislation by Congress to give each group what it demands for itself. To Do What He Could. From Everybody's Magazine. The deputy warden of the peniten- tiary was looking over the new arri- vals. Among them was a tall, forlorn- looking gentleman of color, who who seemed to take it very hard, sighing so deeply that the deputy asked: - “What's the matter, boy?” “Mah sentence, suh'" was the mournful reply. *Ah, can’t do all this heah time the jedge done gib me!” “How much are you doing?’ in- quired the deputy. “Life!” exclaimed the new arrival. “Well,” remarked the deputy, not unkindly, “just do what you can of From the Denver Clarion. Mother—Eunice, can you see in the dark? Bunice—No, why? “Well, I heard you tell Halley last night he hadn't shaved.” . State Capital of Amazonzas Is Recaptured by Federal Troops, Says Paper. By the Associated Pres. BUENOS AIRES, September 1.— Manaos, capital of the state of Amazon- zas, Brazll, where a revolt broke out more than a month ago, has been occu- pled by government forces, according to a dispatch from Rio Janeiro. giving the newspaper O Paiz as authority for the statement. It is asserted that the revolt has been suppressed. It began when the military garrison and small naval forces sta- tioned there mutinied and took posses- sion of the government house after a fight lasting an hour and a half against a police force numbering a hundred. Acting Governor Flees. Acting Gov. Turiano Meira took refuge on a British vessel. The revo- lutionary forces proclaimed Lieut. Ribeiro governor and issued a declara- tion of independence. They then seized the Brasillan Lloyd linc steamer Bahia and armed it with guns. Some of the smaller vessels started down the Amazon toward Belem (Para), capital of the State of Para, deposing the authorities at all the ports on the way and seizing the fortress of Obido: Word of the approach of the rebels caused a panic at Belem, where al- ready there had been much disorder and an attempt_to depose the state governor, Sousa Castro. Large numbers of the residents fled from the city. Rebels Are Defied. Gov. Castro refused to treat with thet rebels, and notified them that any attack would be resisted, where- upon the rebels steamed back to M ts which have been taken from the newspapers of northern Brazil say that one of the leaders of the revolt was an aviation lieutenant who had participated in the military revolt at Rio de Janelro in July, 1922, on ac- count of which he was transferred to Manaos. WOMAN'S CAUSE “HIT.” No Advance Made in Either France or Italy, Says Writer. Constance Drexel in Harper's Magazine In the Latin countries—in France and in Italy, for example—public sentiment is farther away today from the new conception of woman's role than at any period since before the war—this in spite of the im- s gained from woman's co- Deration In the war, ard the Erati- tude of the men for their help in winning the bloody struggle, which placed women in the Latin coun- tries in a strategical position to ask for and obtain almost anything. Besides having stood by the men, the women also had displayed re- markable and surprising ability, not only in business management and in executive positions, but in per- forming heavy physical labor. Men could no longer scoff at womar’s weakness nor charge her with i ferfority. The war gave woman her opportunity. Women, too, even in the Latin countries, seemed delighted with their new freedom. So, all in all. there came a tidal wave in favor of a wider conception of womar's role which, six months after the armistice. resulted in an overwhelmingly favor- able vote in the French Chanbre des Deputes (May, 1919) giving French womer. full suffrage rights. But the Senate has never carried the measure and finally turned it dowr. last autumn. Now the piti- fully small group of French suffra- gists have their work to do all over again, with little prospect of success. largely due to the indifference of the French woman herself. In Italy, though a step has been taken in Mussolini’s proposal grant- ing municipal suffrage to certain groups of women, the situation fs practically aralogous. BIBLE STILL “BEST SELLER.” Writer Says Fact That There Is a Demand Provides Best Reason. Basil King in Harper's Magazine. At the moment of writing I read in the newspapers that the presses which print the Bible cannot keep pace with the demand. How did this demand arise? What maintains it? Why do people buy and read this ancient book, when they can buy and read so much that is newer, fresher, and, on the surface at least, more directly suited to their twentieth century needs, Of one thing we can be certain, that unless these books supplied something which the heart of Europe and America craves for its sustenance, no such demand would continue. Nowhere else in history, to my knowledge, do we find a group of peoples. extremely diverse among themselves, appropriating a whble literature not their own. which they had no part in producing, and liv- ing on it as they never live on the most vital works of their own chil- dren. The phenomenon calls attention to itself, and is perhaps its own best explanation. Demand is always in proportion to the quality of the supply. That is all. There is no further mystery. It is with the Bible as with everything elss. Where there is that which meets a need, those who feel the need will turn to'it. No factitious senti- ment would keep the Drinting presses of the Bible working overtime. No pietistio or sectarian or ecclesiastical incitement could, year in and year out, support a sale which possibly equals that of all the rest of the books in the world put together. Life does not work that way. Nothing is continually and eagerly bought and paid for which is not worth its price to the purchasers. Deception or overestimation may rule for a time, but it is discovered in the long run. If in the long run the demand for any article is greater than it ever was, we may depend upon it that there is value in that article which 1s not to be found else- where. There, then, s the basic reas the Bible's authority; its value. Moy all the allowances you like for the unread Bibles on the shelves of homes, schools, and churches, and there stil] must remain & vast num- ber of people in the world studying these books and ‘finding in. thers truths essential to their welfare, It is they who primarily give to this volume its right to g is they who have primarily :f::.; m’: Bible 'its power ever since the days Wwhen the first of these spitirual classics was singled out as having a special quality. —_— This Candidate Never Seen.

OAKLAND, Md., September 1.— Four men were arrestéd by Sherift Johas Yutzy in connection with a series of robberles at Bittinger and Oakland during the past several weeks. They gave their names as Frank, J. H., and John Fiddler and George Burkholder, and their resi- dence as Somerset, Pa. The men were given a hearing be- fore Magistrate E. I. West, and held in sums ranging from $1,000 to $1,500 for their appearance at the Circuit Court. The men were apprehended on a blind road, when they were pursued and forced to turn back, in their automobile. It is thought that the arrests will solve the series of robberles at homes, n farms and at stores in Bittinger and in Oakland. Other arrests by Sheriff Yutzy were, Ernest Resh and James Burke of Bittinger, on charges of the theft of three automobile tires from Martin Stanton of Bittinger. Neal Shockey and three boys named Kitzmiller were arrested on charges of destroying and robbing mail boxes on rural mail route: FRANKS’ RESIDENCE SOLDTOMOVIE MAN Home Purchased From Loeb’s Father Reluctantly Parted With by Family. By the Associated Press CHICAGO, September 1.—Jacob Franks has sold his home—the house toward which his son, Bobby, was trudging after a day at school when he accepted an invitation to inspect a tennis racquet and was instead kidnaped and slain: the home that he, the elder Franks, had purchased from Albert Loeb, father of Richard, one of the youthful murderers, 5 years ago, a year before Bobby was born. The new master of the spacious residence, located in the heart of the South Side fashionable district, will be Joseph Trinz, part owner of a string of motion picture houses. The Franks family will move to a North Side hotel, Mr. Franks said today. It was necessary in transferring title to Mr. Trinz, to give a quit-claim deed to Mr. Loeb, who had once owned the property. Half a block up the street from the Franks home is the Loeb residence and a block further away is the resi- dence of Nathan F. Leopold, Sr.. whose son, Nathan, jr., with Richard Loeb, is awaiting the decision of Judge John R. Cavely as to the penalty he and Richard must pay for the murder of Bob Next door is the Samuel H Harris place. Samuel H. Harris, jr., it was developed at the recent hear- ing, had been marked at one time a probable victim by Loeb and Leo- pold Wife Reluctant to Sell. Constant association with unpleas- ant reminders of their son's life and the circumstances surrounding his death prompted Mr. and Mrs. Franks to sell their home, although Mrs Franks was reluctant to part with the house in which her children had been born and reared When Judge John R. Caverly of Criminal Court pronounces sentence Wednesday, September 10, Albert H. Loeb. father of Richard, and Nathan F. Leopold. sr, father of young Nathan, will be present. Mr. Loeb has announced his inten- tion of disregarding the advice of physicians to attend court on the fateful day. He is seriously ill with an affliction of the heart, and has been resting for several months at the family Summer estate _at Charlevoix, Mich. Mr. Leopold has attended all sessions of the hearing. SWEDISH TIMBER TRADE. | Export Sales Show Increase Over Those in 1923. The Swedish Economic Review re- ports that the liveliness which wa: observable in the timber industry as February advanced continued into the first weeks of March, but in April increasing weakness supervened About the middle of May it was reck- oned that sales from Sweden amount- ed to about 475,000 standards, as com- pared with 425,000 for the correspond- ing period of 1923. The position on the wood-pulp market Is peculiar, in that right from the turn of the year 1923-24 sales for 1924 deliveries have been extraordi- narily brisk, while prices have re- mained at a level which cannot be considered compatible with the po- sition which Swedish pulp enjoys in the world’s markets. At the beginning of May sales of sulphite, predominately strong sul- phite—the most important Swedish export quality—were reckoned to amount to some 500,000 tons, corre- sponding to 69 per cent of the total of the year's disposable production. As usual, Great Britain and the Unit- ed States of America have secured the greatest quantities, but sales have also been made to the Continent, though for the most part in smaller parcels. -—e- Protect Your Meney.
