RAP ON PRESIDENT FAGESIWAE 0P Resolution Criticizing Him , #and Booming Gov. Lowden { " Planned for State Meet. By the Associated: Press, + _DES MOINES, July 17.<A miove- ment to condemn the attitude of the national administration on farm re. lief .and indorse Frank O. Lowden of Iliinois as Repub: lican presidential candidate for 1928 is to be launched at the Reublican State convention here next' Wed- nesday. Willlam O. Payne, a mem- ber of the Des Moines delegation, announced that he would pre- sent a resolution criticizing ~ Presi- dent. Coolidge for fallure to support « the sort of farm relief legislation desired by the Midwest, and praising Mr. Lowden's work on behalf of the farmers and declaring him ac- ceptable to the farmers as a presi- dentlal aspirant. Political leaders concede that the Convention most likely will adopt a resolution dealing with the farm rellef Subject and possibly indorsing some specific relief program, but the con- vention is not generally expected to 80 so0 far as to hold the President re- sponsible for failure of farm.blills in the last Congress, or to consider the political aspects of the campaign, Meeting a day after the conference of the committee of 22, which hopes to agree Tuesday upon a new farm bill to be presented to Congress next ‘Winter, the convention probably. will have some definite plan, already adopted by farm groups, to incorpo- rate in the party's platform. Following closely upon the primary that nominated Col. Smith W. Brook- hart for the Senate in what has been widely interpreted as a protest against the faflure of farm legislation, the party convention may center largely ebout that subject, The keynoter, Dan Turner, has in- dicated that the farm situation would recelve considerable attention in his speech, and Col. Brookhart and Sen- ator A. B. Cummins probably will ad- dress the convention,. dealing with economic_conditions as well as polit- fcal matters. It will be the first Republican con- vention to recognize Col. Brookhart since he became a member of the *Senate, his previous absence being:| due to his differences with the party organization. b The platform will contain a definite statement, advance reports indicate, on agricultural policy and is expected strongly to support the stand of Sen- ator Cummins and Col. \Brookhart that the party has neglected to carry out its promises to the farmers made in 1924, Col. ~ Brookhart’s supporters have indicated that he will not attempt to sain control of the convention or the party organization, confining his ac- tivities to a continuation of the battle on issues, primarily those relating to the farm » su BWAY MOTORMEN . AGAIN INVITED BACK “We Don’t Need Them,” Says! Company, But Admits Cervice ‘Would Be Helped. By the Associated Press. New York, July 17.—The subway doesnit need its striking motormen back in order to keep trains rolling, company officials announced today, but the trains would roll a lot faster if they were back. Since the strike began almost two ‘weeks ago, the majority of the trains ¢ have been run on a half-speed basis to &Vold danger of collisions by the’ less experienced drivers. The com- pany announced today that express service had to a large extent been put back on a full-speed schedule, all these trains being operated by motormen who stayed on the job or by returned striker: lnrgex)' The local service, still operated by substitutes, remains on low speed. “We don’t need the strikers back,” company counsel said today, “but we would be glad to have them back in order to Increase the speed of our trains. It would be much better for the road, for themselves and for the public if they came back.” Last Tuesday almost 700 strikers were ' “permanently” crossed off the company rolls because they 'defied an ultimatum that they must return to work at a given hour or never re- turn. This order was revoked yes- terday, however, and the strikers were told they could come back. any time they wanted. 3 The - company announced today that service had steadily improved since it was cut to one-third of nor- mal when the strike began, with yes- terday the banner day of the strike period. Yesterday the interborough system, both subway and -elevated lines, carried almost 2,500,000 pas- sengers, a decrease of some 400,000 from the same day h.:he":; Oy! s ngers bwa. mmmflso,m more - than the “L."

Thi advice of Fire Chlef George S. Wa however, is to call the rescue squad. Such a call also will bring an ambulance, but the chances are ten to one, according to the fire chief, that the rescue squad will arrive long before the ambulance. It is a .mat- ter of common knowledge that in many accident cases, the element of srfi; is an tmportant factor in saving e. . The men who make up the rescue Squad have been thoroughly trained in first aid work by Commodore W. E. Longfellow, associate national ‘al- rector of life saving service of the Ni tional Red Crosé. Their knowledge of firemanic work is equally as com- prehensive, exceedingly few obstacles in the fire fighting . and life saving flelds that these men cannot overcome, and do it with the knowledge and efficlency of an expert. Five Record Established. The records of the squad. in its brief history bear rhute. but con- clusive evdence of the gbility of these men, and their intrepidity in face of difficult hazards. Their motto seems to' be: “If it is possible to save a human lite, we will do it."” As a co-ordinated unit of the regu- lar fire fighting service;, the rescue squad has been of inestimable value. Its humanitarian work in accldent cases has been retarded, however, either because of the lack ‘of knowl- edge on the part of the public that it exists, or the natural impulee to tele- phone for an ambulance when human suffering is involved. Just a tew days ago, the rescue squad responded to a call to resusci- tate a boy whose apparently lifeless body had been” dragged from a bath- ing ;pool. The body had been out of the ‘water. fully 45 minutes-before the squad was summoned. *Fire Chief Watson is confident that this boy's life _may have - been saved had the squad been called at the time of the drowning. Only once before the res- cue squad was summoned on a drown- ing case; like the other, the mesage was not sent until all other: attempts at resuscitation had failed. Again it was too late. & Response in Traffic Cases. The records show, “however, that in the accident cases involving traf- fic collisions as wel as injyries re- sukting from fires, the rescue squad has done effective first -aid work, which not only relieved the suffer- ing of the victims but undoubtedly aided in saving the lives of those who had beer seriously injured. Members of the :squad are required to. pass difficult examinations before being qualified to render first ald, Here is one of -the problems. that the squad apswered in a recent ex- amination, which- they passed with an average above 80 per cemt. . “Returning from a fire, a piéce of apparatus is in a collision with a taxicab, ‘containing a driver and two passengers. The cab is overturned and partly demolished. . The driver is ‘knocked inta the gutter with a broken leg (below the knee). One of the passengers, a woman, hasa spurt- ing wound over the right eye and cannot* use her left hand. The man passenger has a severe bleeding from the palm of his right hand from wind- shield glass. and complains of paime in his right knee. -In trying to avoid the collision the fire truck collided with a hydrant breaking it off and the taxi driver has been laying one and a half minutes in the path of the flood before being extricated. What would you do?” . x Meeting Chief Demands First. No matter who had to face this problem - there would be many ele- ments to consider and in first ald the thing to do is to treat those persons first whose condition is so serious that a few minutes delay might mean death. The solutions offered by sev- eral members of the rescue squad are interesting. The answer considered most meritorious follows: ““The driver O:Gthe :uh: ; would have straightened -out, send for doc- tors and ambulance and treat for shock and after I had stopped severe bleeding of other injured would put his leg in & splint ready for - mn;_:. passenger would_be “The woman the first to be attended to as her As a resuit there are’ wound - appears the most dangerous.

TRENTON, N. J.. July 17.—The at- titude of the State of New Jerses toward another investigation of tné four-year-old Hall-Mills murder mys- tery will be deter- mined in this city next week at a conference of Gov. Moore, Attorney General Katzen- bach and Pros- ecutor Toolan of Middlesex County. Gov. Moore to- day announced he would order a sweeping inquiry it the two law officers recom- mended it. The position of the at- torney general has not been dis- closed, but Pros- ecutor Toolan to- day reiterated statements of yesterday that he saw no reason for reopening the investi gation, It was learned today that State po- lice are making a secret investigation in Somenst County, where the bodies of the Rev. Edward S. Hall, rector of the Church of St. John the Divine, of New Brunswick, and one of his choir singers, Mrs. Eleanor Mills, ‘were found, riddled with bullets, on Sep- tember 14, 1922, The bodies lay a few hundred yards across the line divid- ing Somerset and Middlesex Counties. Both of the victims lived in New Brunswick, which is within the juris- diction of the latter county. Interest in the case was revived by the filing of a petition by Arthur S. Riehl of Roselle Park for an annul- ment of his marriage to Loulse Geist Riehl, who at the time of the murder was employed as a maid at the Hall home. In this petition Riehl alleged that his wife had knowledge of the movements of some of the principals in the case on the night of the mur- der. The petition also declared that Mrs. Riehl received $5,000 for “keep- ing quiet.” Prosecutor Toolan today announced that he had questioned Mrs. Riehl, who lives with her parents, at David- sons Mill, near New Brunswick, and that he could discover nothing to lead him to advise another investigation. He sald Prosecutor Bergen of Somer- set County saw Riehl’s petition be- fore he went on his vacation and that he was of the same opinion. / The End of the Trail.
