; :{‘SURP[US" STATES overnment Begins Move to Save Cattle in Drought Area—Plans Expand. BY WILLIAM HARD. In the drought rellef campaign today e States with “surpluses” of crops be- n to be organized by the Federal overniment for the prospective saving f cattle out of the Stat:s in the drought rea. At the request of the Federal vernment. the gove-nments of seversl surplus” States ere making surveys of th: feed nnd forage rescurces of their Btates and are prepari here neces- $ary, for the formation of local credit Socleties, which will finance the trans- fer of cattle out of the States which tannot feed them and into the States which can. Were reported today as having been un- dertaken on a considerable scale in Minnesota by Gov. Christianson and in North Dakota by Gov. Shafer. Thus the activities of Federal and Btate authorities in the direction of drought relief, instead of contracting. &re seen here to be steadily expanding, #nd the policy of Federal offiefals is observed to be changing from a cau- tlous minimizing of the effects of the drought to a frank acceptance of the Jarge burden which 1t will place upon the whole country. Calculations in Federal offices today place the cash Joss in corn fn the ght area at not less than $360.000.000. the hay loss at than $40.000,000 and the pas- at an indeterminate sum dif- | ficult to estimate, but amounting in all probability to several hundred million | dollars at the least. To such losses, it was pointed out, there must be added & large number of other losses impos- sible to estimate with any accuracy, such as the decline in the drought area of the daily amount of milk per cow. It is regarded as moderate to go on the calculation that the drought area has Feceived a one-billion-doliar blow. Financing Revised Upward.” ‘There was, accordingly, a drastic re- wision upward today of the amount of financing that may be necessary to bring the drcught area back to & nor- mal condition and to assure the proper care of its farm animals. In tue States of “surpluses” of crops and of pastures the local farmers who may wish to bring in cattle out of drought-siricken sreas for fattening will, in many cases, be unable to perform this service out of their ww financial means and the of loans to them for the purchase of the cattle—or sheep— m: be necessary on a considerable gcale. The Federal Farm Board can in this matter ‘make advances of money to local co-operatives which, in :m. can take the notes of their mem- TS, The financing of drought relief ac- tivities in the areas of “deficit” and in the areas of “surplus,” both put to- g'-hel’v was today seen likely to rise & sum not before anticipated. This financing, it is definitely now made known, will fall into three main cate- ries, There will be advances fo larmers by local bankers in accordance with the ordinary methods of business; | and these advances, which are expected to constitute an extremely cons ble rt of the whole effort, will be ed )y an expansion of the ordinary dis- count dealings of the Federal Reserve Bystem. There will additionally be ad- vances in amounts which are expected to keep on increasing through many months to come to the local credit as- sociations now being formed for the purpose of extending loans to farmers which will be discounted at the inter- mediate credit banks of the Federal Farm Loan Bank aystem, which in turn will refinance itself by selling “de- bentures” to the general investing pub- Hc. There wflly,&:fi]ly“be advances !o'; appropriate rel tation purposes - agricultural co-operatives by the Federal Farm Board through its proper subordinate agencics. Hundreds of Millions Aid, ‘There were responsible Federal offi- ¢ials today who stated that these three forms of financing, the burden of all of which must ultimately fall upon the general financial resources of the whole country, would come in one way or an- other at least to $100,000,000. This says nothing, it was emphatically stressed, about the outright relief which will be extended to destitute drought sufferers by the Red Cross, and which will not n to be required or devel- oped on a dnevitable poverty has made itself irre- sistibly felt and has produced the frank calls for complete assistance which are regarded as certain to come in the Fall pnd Winter. That the rest of the country is abundantly financially capable of res- cuing the drought region is thought by Federal authorities to be sufficiently proved by the ironic fact disclosed to- day that the money losses in corn and in hay by the drought reglon are now almost exactly equaled by the increase in cash value which the scarcity created by the drought has accomplished for the corn crop and hay crop of the re- glons of “surplus.” ROOSEVELT URGES | WIDE COURT PROBE Writes Appellate Division to Con- | duct Inquiry Into Magis- ! trate Tribunals.

Dowling, presiding justice of the Ap- pellate Division, first department, urg- ing that the Appellate Division inves- tigate on its own motion “the Magis- trates’ Courts under its jurisdiction and the justices thereof, so that the public may know the facts.” At the same time the governor made public a letter to Supreme Court Jus- tice Edward F.

DROUGHT FINANCE Hoover and B2-king Groups Meet Tuesday—Loan Ne_eds Put at $20,000,000. By the Associated Press. Seeking early definition of the finan- cial program involved in the drought relief organization, President Hoover will confer next Tuesday with the banking representatives on the State relief committees. A call for' this conference to be held at the White House went to the drought States late yesterday.

This is 2 per cent more than the interest charged by the intermediate credit banks, to which the loans would be turned over. Under present plans loans would be granted farmers on easy security with theindorsement of the credit agencles. In event the banking representatives of the State committees agree upon the proposal, the Federal Farm Loan Board, which supervises intermediate credit inks, will supervise the creation of the credit agencies. It was estimated that $20,000,000 would be required to meet losn de- mands. $800,000 for Seed Loans. Henry M. Robinson, Los Angeles banker, whose task as a member of the National Drought Rellef Committee wil] be to co-ordinate the State and Fed- eral financial relief measures, was ex- pected to attend next week’s meeting. Announcement was made by Secre- tary Hyde, chairman of the Natlonal Committee, that the $800,000 balance of a $6,000,000 fund created at the last session of Congress for flood relief and storm relief in more than a dozen States, will be used for seed loans to drought-stricken farmers.

Slemp, who was secretary to President Coolidge, described the situation in the Old Dominion State as serious, with the immediate problem of the prevention of wholesale selling of cattle and the sup- plying of feed to live stock areas. He predicted the Red Cross would have a big job on its hands in Virginia.

R. J. Barrett and J. Auffenberg of the fourth precinct and charged with illegal possession of liquor. This charge, being made as the result of a visit made by the officers to the above place, in my opinion was justifiable, as it was a place of busi- ness (therefore public) in which the officers had every right to enter and inspect in the manner in which same was done. "In the case of Lee White, eglored, of 609 Fairmont street, who was ar- rested by Lieut. John Fowler, Precinct Detective Jones and Pvt. R. F. McGarty of the tenth precinct, Lieut. Fowler stated that while making his rounds with the above named officers, they visited above premises; that when they arrived at the door it was open and they observed Lee White put some jars of liquor into a trap at the head of-the staircase. . “In this instance the officers should have realized that this was a private home and that after witnessing what they claimed to have seen, which itself constituted from which they could have secured a warrant and made a legal arrest, should have applied for the same before tak- ing the action they did. “These men are all experienced of- ficers, having had many cases before the courts, and should have realized that their action in the premises would result in a refusal by the United States district attorney to issue the necessary papers. They are warned that this was not an example of the kind of police service expected of them. “In the case of Leonard Roscoe Har- Oreg., and then on to Spokane for the first overnight stop. MAKE BOMBARDMENT TESTS. Experiments at Wright Field May Cause Changes in Plans and Tactics, BY JOSEPH 8. EDGERTON, Btaff Correspondent of The Star. DAYTON, Ohio, August 21.—Radical changes in bombardment planes and tactics may result from experiments now being conducted by the Army Air Corps at Wright Pield, it was learned as nine twin-engined bombers, represent- ing the three famous squadrons of the second bombardment group, Langley Fleld, Va., arrived here en route to the National Air Races at Chicago. ‘There is vital need for more special- ized types of bombardment aircraft if the interests of national defense are to be served properly, in the opinion of many of the officers in the bombard- meny squadrons. There must be light on daylight missions. Employment of the present-day Army bomber for this work would be swicidal under conditions of modern aerial warfare, unless over- powering air defense were provided for the big lumbering planes against hostile pursuit, it is argued. At Wright Field, which is the base for the Air Corps Material Division and the scene of virtually all of the Army fiight-testing work, there are in process of development light, fast bombers which, it is hoped, will meet the re- quirements for day bombardment oper- ations. If the tests are successful the Air Corps may begin fleld tests of a type of small bombardment plane rival- ing the single-seater pursuit planes in speed, which may be employed with some hope of success for lightning-fast thrusts against enemy strong points in the daytime, when the planes cannot hope for concealment, but must rely upon speed to avold the guns of enemy pursuit planes. 100-Mile Cruising Speed. Bombardment planes now used to equip the Alr Corps squadrons have a cruising speed of less than 100 miles per hour and are on a speed parity with only the slowest of the Nation's cargo and transport planes. They can- not hope to escape from hostile air- eraft by running away and must operate either under cover of darkness or under & cloud of friendly pursuit planes capa- ble of beating off an l::::muyx lh;‘!urne ‘which may be sent agal em if they are to accomplish ‘Juu- missions ef- clently. It is the contention of many combat ptlots that the United States today is in a position of inferiority among the nations in daylight bombard- ment. Great Britain, France and Italy, it is pointed out, have developed small, fast bombers of types for which this country has no equivalent. ‘The nine bombers assigned to display the latest advances in tactical methods at the Chicago races landed at Fairfield Alr Depot near Dayton yesterday after- noon after a flight of 5 hours and 35 minutes from Lnnrle)- Fleld with a re- fueling stop at Bolling Field, Washing- ton. Followed Radio Beacons. ‘The first and last legs of the flight, from Langley to Bolling and from Moundsville, W. Va., to Fairfleld, were made on radio on courses, which might be duplicated in all parts of the country by Department of Commerce civil airway beacon stations to guide military missions in case of emergency through thick fogs, storms or darkness. The bombers are organized as a skeleton bombardment group com- manded by Capt. Henry Pascale, with Capt. Frank Hackett and Lieut. M. W. Beaton as the leaders of the second and third squadrons. These nine planes represent the avallable force of the second bombardment groug. which is to be entirely reoutfitted next Winter when delivery to the group of 36 of the latest type twin-engined bombers is to begin. The present planes are to go to Kelly Field, Tex., upon delivery of the new equipment. Rain and overcast skies held the bombers at Fairfield this morning. They are expected to clear for Thicago this afternoon or tomorrow mo 5. RAILROAD MAN DIES TAMPICO, August 21 (#).—H. C. A.

FOWEY, Cornwall, England, August 21.—Commodore Henry Douglas King, Conservative member of Parliament, brilliant soldier and one time aide-de- camp to King George, was believed to have met death with probably half a dozen others aboard the 23-ton motor yacht Islander, wrecked here in the night. One woman, two children and a well known naval surgéon were believed aboard the vessel when it went to pleces after going on the rocks off the Corn- wall coast at Lantivet Bay. Definite knowledge of the make-up of the yacht- ing ty still was lacking this evening. That Commodore King changed hfs mind about inviting some fellow mem- bers of Parliament was believed. This apparently spared their lives, since all on board the Islander were lost, accord- ing to lifeguards who battied desperate- ly in darkness under the 265-foot cliff where the tragedy of the English Chan- nel was enacted in efforts to rescue some of those aboard. Couldn’t Get Aboard. When a lifeline finally was shot across the yacht there seemed nobody on the craft to catch it.

When those of the children were washed up diligent search began for others. Women Believed on Craft.

FVIDENCE SEIZED Lingle Murder Probe Carried to Apartment Where Broth- ers Are Missing. | By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, August 21.—The records of a second branci of the Zuta-Alello- Moran gang faction were seized last night by investigators attempting 1o solve the slaying of Jake Lingle, Tribune reporter. ; Acting on information they obtaincd in one of Jack Zuta's safe deposit boxes, State's attorney’s agents raided the luxurious apartment of Joe Alello, head of the Unione Siciliano, and his brother, Dominick. They found a mass of rec- ords, several weapons and about 100 keys. Facts Not Recalled. Whether the papers contained any mention of financial transactions with public officials such as was found in the records kept by the slain Zuta was not revealed by the States’ attorney’s office. The Alello records were bel studied carefully, it was announced, an effort was being made to trace addi- tional papers through the keys found in the brothers’ apartments. Neither of the Alellos was at home when the investigators arrived. Their wives, who protested loudly against the search, said the notorious brothers left the city soon after Lingle was killed, more than two months ago. Police have always considered the gang headed George porar: by le Tor the shooting of Lingle, with Zuta, the brains of the Moran gang, as the prob- ably plotter, ¢ Not a Book in Place. ‘The Alello t was described by Patrick Roche, chief investigator, as expensively furnished with Oriental rugs, hea drapes and modernistic furniture. “But there was not & book in the place,” Roche said. In addition to searching for clues in the Lingle mystery and for new evi- dences of an alliance between gangsters and public officials, Roche said the in- vestigators will look in the Alello rec- ords for traces of the latest movements of the Unione Bicillano. Joe Alello succeeded the leadership of this group after the assassinations Pasqualino Lolardo and Tony Lombardo. THREE DROWN IN TAXI. Vehicle Plunges Into Canal With Driver and Two Passengers.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 21.—George W, Wickersham, chairman of President Hoover's Commission on Law Observ- ance sand Enforcement, told members of the American Bar Asscciation yes- terday that the general attitude of mind of the averags American is not law abiding, but that the individual must accept and abide by the re- straints imposed by law. “Otherwise,” he said, “lawful gov- ernment breaks down and we have an- archy. The remedy of thoss who ob- Ject, is to appeal to the same author- ity as that which enacts, for reseission or modification. There can be no in- dividual right to elect what laws one will or will not obey.” In his address on the program of the commission which he heads, Mr. Wickersham said it was not unnatural that the attitude of the average citizen is not law abiding. “With 48 States, besides the Federal Congress, grinding out laws annually, or biennially; with statute laws already in existence Miling some 3,500 volumes of mere than 8 million and a half pages * * * any general acceptgnce of statute law as imposing a moral obligation upon the citizens could hardly be expected.” The Law Enforcement Commiasion, its chairman sald, is unanimously op- to the theory of the Jones law, which made all violations of the pro- hibition act, except for maintaining s nuisance and unlawful possession, pun- ishable with five years’ maximum im- prisonment and $10,000 fines. “We thought it unsound to make fel- other the public mind regare offenses blurring the dhuneuond‘:e‘ween uHa:ly f.:-l‘:'nu and minor breaches of statute The commission's suggestion that United States commissioners be allowed to hear petty offenses if the defendant does not demand a trial by j was greeted, Mr. Wickersham told bar dele- “loud howls * * * on the those who did not want effective enforcement of the prohibtion law.” <These protestations,” Chairman Wickersham said, “wholly ignored the fact that almost in every State of the Union petty offenses such as those de- scribed are tried before magistrates without a jury, as they are at common law.
