TWO ARE INDICTED IN GANG SLAYING Buckley, Slain Radio An- nouncer, Witnessed Killing 20 Days Before His Death. By the Assoclated Press. DETROIT, September 6.—The spe- cial grand jury yesterday returned secret indictments charging two men with first-degree murder in the killing of two Chicago gangsters in front of the La Salle Hotel 20 days pefore Jerry Buck- ley, radio political commenator, was assassinated in the hotel lobby. ‘The jury has spent several days ex- amining witnesses, several of whom were persons who were in the La Salle Hotel when Buckley was shot to death early in the morning of July 23 as he sat in the lobby. Police Commissioner Thomas C. Wilcox, who directed the earlier phases of the police investigation, and other officers testified. The fact that the indictments had been returned was announced by Circuit Judge Lester S. Moll, presiding at the investigation, The victims of the killing on which the indictments were based were Wil- liam Cannon and George Collins, de- scribed as narcotic runners. Buckley, from the window of the studio of Ra- dio Station WMBC in the hotel, wit- nessed the killing. WOMEN ARE HURT IN SPANISH RIOT| Dozens of Guards Patrol Streets of Town as Result of Sudden Strike. By the Associated Press. RENTERIA, Spain, September 6.— Virtual martial law was declared here yesterday and all business houses closed after rioting which broke out in the course of a general strike unexpectedly proclaimed at noon. More than a hundred civil guards were patrolling the streets. Many rifle shots were fired in the air to frighten the mob. Many were injured, including some women, but no deaths ‘The injured were mostly persons struck by stones which the mob hurled at police, or who were knocked down by the horses of mounted guards. The demonstrations started as the outcome of reports that a committee represent- ing striking iron workers in Sebastian had been locked up for attempting to visit the civil governor and discuss a strike for higher wages. Renteria is an iron manufacturing town near San Sebastian. BEATEN RECLUSE DIES WITH WEALTH SECRET SAN FRANCISCO, September 6 (). —Giovanni Marcelli, 70, San Bruno re- cluse, died yesterday from a beating suf- hands of robbers seeking the hiding place of his rumored hoard of gold. Police believed two men and a girl, seen to enter Marcelli’s cabin that day, beat and tortured the aged man when he refused to disclose where he had nidden his supposed fortune. Furniture in the cabin was upset, the carpet torn from the floor and even the paper was stripped from the walls. Officials questioned Marcelll about his purported weath, but the dying man refused to talk. RESORTS. VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. New—Modern—Opgn ANl Year otel Chalfonte OCEAN FRONT * VIRGINIA BEACH, VA.

One of the big problems in taking care of the home garden is to know what fertilizers to use. There are now so many different kinds and brands of fertilizer that it is real confusing to the average layman. The good old days when all the fertility came in loads of stable manure were, in truth, golden days for gardening. Now it is chemical fertilizer or expensive manures in sacks, and then one is not certain whether he is meeting the needs of the soll adequately. In the last two or three years some very highly concen- trated kinds of fertilizer have come upon the markets, accompanied by equally high recommendations by the manufacturers. These materials have proved very satisfactory in the hands of skilled gardeners, but have caused serious burning of plants and lawns when handled less intelligently. Gen- erally speaking, the older, less concen- trated types of fertilizer are safer to use and, therefore, better for the everyday gardener. A well proportioned fertilizer, containing about 4 per cent of nitrogen, 8 per cent of phosphoric acid and 4 per cent of potash, is very satisfactory for general purposes. There are several garden fertilizers under proprietary brands that contain just about these proportions of active mate- rials and all are quite satisfactory. The gardener can save money, however, by buying less highly advertised materials such as used by truck gardeners and procurable from most garden supply stores. Nitrate of soda is & good fertilizer to supplement the general application of mixed material and should be used along the rows or about single large plants as a top dressing after growth has begun. Nitrate of soda is a con- centrated material and can easily kill plants if used to.freely. It is better to use lightly and repeat a week or two later. Nitrate of soda contains its nitrogen in a form that the plant can take up at once if moisture is present, and the plant’s response in new growth may be often seen within a few days. One pound to 150 square feet of gar- den space is a liberal application; or a level spoonful dissolved in a pail of wa- ter makes a satisfactory liquid fertilizer to use at intervals about slow-growing plants. Speaking of fertilizers, the gardener usually thinks of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, yet there are at least a dozen, and probably many more, ele- ments necessary to plant life. All of these others are generally present nat- urally in adequate amounts in the soil Take, for example, boron, usually col sidered poisonous to plants. The physi- ologists of the Maryland Experiment Station found that tomatoes could not develop or fruit normally without a trace of boron being present. Yet the home gardener will never have to worry about this element, because enough will come inadvertently with other fertilizer or is already present in the soil. Nevertheless, boron is just as much a plant food as is nitrogen. ‘The fertilizer problem is a compli- cated affair since the passing of an easlly available manure supply. As pointed out a few weeks ago, cnemicals must be supplemented with decaying plant refuse in order to keep the soil productive. Rotted leaves, straw or turned under green crops, such as rye, oats and clovers, furnish this needed plant material known sometimes as organic matter, sometimes as humus. Give the garden soil humas and mixed commercial fertilizer and the productive power will be maintained indefinitely without stable manure. ‘The following release from the press service of the Department of Agricul- ture is timely, since many home owners will be making new lawns this Autumn: “Some of the worst grubs which at- tack the roots of lawn and golf grasses in the late Summer may be controlled by treating the soll with acid lead arsenate. The polson should be appiied broadcast just before seeding new lawns, or between April 1 and October 30 on existing lawns. “This treatment was perfected by the United States Department of Agricul- ture in its efforts to lessen the damage caused by grubs of the Japanese beetle and other imported pests. The method, however, is effective against some of our native grubs as well, and is recom- mended by the department for lawns and golf courses. “If possible, the treatment should be given when the grass is planted. Lead arsenate is broadcast over the soll at the rate of three and one-third pounds for each 100 square feet of space. Then the soil is disked throughly to insure mixing the poison evenly throughout the upper three or four inches. “Where the grass is already estab- lished the lead arsenate may be ap- plied as a top dressing at the rate of one-half pound to each 100 square feet. The poison should be mixed thoroughly with 15 times its weight of top soil and applied broadcast. It will be necessary to repeat this job every Fall for three years. NATIONAL FLOWER GUILD ROSE The following information has been received from the National Plant, Flower and Fruit Guild. The members of the Washington branch include Mrs. Borden Harriman, Mrs. George C. Thorpe, Mrs. W. H. Taft, Mrs. George Barnett and many others. “Otf all flowers, the rose best sym- bolizes high purpose and achievement. A rose, therefore, has been named ‘National Flower Guild’ To be sure, it ‘was the original intent of the American introducers of this new rose to name it for Mrs. John Wood Stewart, as a tribute to the founder of the guild for her philanthropic work with flowers among the destitute. Mrs. Stewart ac- cepted the rose, but requested that it be dedicated to ‘the child of her heart’ and be named ‘National Flower Guild’ as & gift to the organization by the founder. At last, after several years of rigid trial at West Grove, Pa,, this rose is now ready for dissemination. “Considering Mrs. Stewart's recogni- tion in France as one of the few wom- en ever to receive the decoration ‘Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur,’ it is significant that the National Flower Guild rose should have been originated by M. Charles Mallerin of Grenoble, France. This man, an electrical en- Ha .lIA BY J. W. WELLINGTON.

One may be sure that a new rose coming from him has been bred with a purpose. This is especially true of National Flower Guild Rose. “It is no exaggeration that this French origination is one of the best reds appearing in recent years, It has qualities which adapt it to the rose garden and for cutting as well. Chief among its virtues is its large size. Yet, beginning as a pointed bud with recurving petals until the cup-shaped bloom is full blown, the flower is al- ways magnificent and gracefull formed. Rose red is its color, botl above and on the petal reverses. There is a sheen to the petals that brightens the highlights and deepens the color in the heart of the bloom. Naturally, such excellent blooms could not result unless they came singly on the stems, which is generally the case. If the plants are pruned low in the Spring, each flowering stem will approximate that of the choicest greenhouse-grown blooms. “Of course, there is a pronounced fragrance—a quality every really fine rose should have. The plants are pro- lific and have radiance, vigor and hardiness, The stems grow upright, the new tips being reddish green and the wood brown. Black spot does not affect the large, lusty leaves. Finally, this rose is adaptable to a wide range of territory throughout, which it will carry the message of love from the founder of the National Plant, Flower and Fruit Guild.” GARDEN ITEMS ‘Water lilies have a wide appeal be- cause of their wonderful beauty and fragrance. A small pool with one or two nice lily plants in the water and bordered by aquatics ~such as the arrowheads, makes a very pleasing sight and is really within the reach of any enterprising home gardener. A few goldfish will take care of the mosquito problem very satisfactorily and at the same time add a touch of life to the picture. Cover crops should be going into the soil now but it is futile to sow seed in dry soil. It will certainly be a blessing to home gardeners when the weather finally returns to normal. ‘What if insect enemies have been re- duced by the drought; who would not be more satisfled to have the crops? One often thinks of a dull lawn mower as a nuisance, but the concep- tion that a dull mower may actually harm the grass is new. Dickinson in his book, “The Lawn,” points out that much injury may result to the grass plants from the bruising and pulling by dull mower knives. It is a point worth consideration by the home owner who prides himself on a fine lawn. Dr. F. L. Mulford's timely warning to local home owners to save their shade trees that show signs of distress from lack of water is worthy of full consideration. Trees along the street have a hard enough time under normal conditions and are not in a favorable position to withstand the added burden so unfortunately thrust upon them. As Dr. Mulford ints out, once the leaves all turn brown while still attached, the tree is dead beyond recovery. It has been passed the permanent wilting point and, un- like the grass, has no power of re- cuperation. One thorough, timely soaking would undoubtedly have saved many & tree and shrub that has succumbed. Evidence that the drought has been unprecedented is given in the suffering of native plants in the woods. Flower- ing dogwood, which has undoubtedly been in this locality for centuries, if not thousands of years, looks in many cases as if it had been burned. Excessive loss of water without any adequate supply in the soil for replacement evi- dently was the casual factor. Even that persistent species, the Japanese honeysuckle, which grows everywhere along roadsides and on fences has wilted badly under the onslaught, but this is not so surprising as the plant is not native to this region, but to the moist Japanese islands. The American Rose Annual for 1930, just published, tells us that John Cook, the breeder of the Radiance and My Maryland and other fine roses, died last year in Baltimore in his ninetieth year, No one needs a finer memorial than the Radiance rose, which with its bud sport, Red Radiance, forms the back- bone of many a rose garden in this vicinity. Local home gardeners were in the front line of winners at the Rockville Fair. The Woodridge Garden Club re- ceived a silver cup because of the high number of points won by various mem- bers, prominent among whom was L. M. Clarke, the president of the club, who took 10 firsts on gladiolus, incidentally netting him nearly $50 in cash prizes. Howard R.

Suburban Garden Club won many awards in the dahlia section, but was entered as a commercial grower, which fact unfortunately prevented his club from gaining credit for his fine work. According to Mr. Clarke, the Rockville floral display was the finest Summer ex- hibition that he had ever seen in this vicinity. Gardeners that had water available for their flowers have found this season almost ideal for producing high quality blooms. Late Autumn is a splendid time in this latitude for planting trees, shrubs, roses, peonies and other perenniai plants. The Winters are not cold enough to injure these plants and dur- ing Winter the roots below our generally shallow frost line grow somewhat and establish the plants for strong Spring growth. The home owner will find that Autumn plantings will reach that desired stage of full beauty much more quickly than Spring plantings. Take a season such as we have just en- dured, the Autumn set plants will show much better survival. Among fruit trees, the sweet cherry is a difficult species to establish at the best, because the tops shoot out rapidly before the roots have time to develop. Quite nat: urally, if Fall planted, the roots have a more favorable chance to develop pro- portionately. Concerning Autumn planting of roses, one rose grower recognizes the advis- abliity of Autumn planting to such an extent that he does not seek Spring trade, primarily because he desires sat- isfied customers. Although it is still too early to plant, it is a favorable time to send away for a few catalogues and get the order in shape for rapid action when the time does arrive, which is usually late October and early Novem- ber in this region. The Potomac Heights Garden Club resumed activities on Thursday evening at the first regular meeting of the Fall and Winter season, held at the home of Blel"l)’amln R. Reynolds, president of the club, After a brief business session, the | NEWSPAPERS HELD ADVANCING SAFETY National Conference Credits Press With Reduction in Auto Fatalities. Substantfal reduction in the automo- bile fatality rate in this country during recent months has been attributed to newspaper publicity in a statement is- sued this week by the National Confer- ence on Street and Highway Safety. ‘The need for uniform vehicle legisla- tion is being stressed in newspaper edi- torials, the conference points out, and attention is being given especially to the toll of lives at grade crossings and to the increasing benefits of safety educa- tion among school children. Citing reports of the division of vital statistics, Bureau of the Census, the conference, of which the Secretary of Commerce, Robert P, Lamont, is chair- man, states that “while no cause for the de_rease is assigned by the division of vital statistics, it is reasonable to be- lieve that the active efforts of the news- papers in the country in urging safety and seeking to combat the increasing number of deaths on the streets and roads” have contributed toward the progress in reducing automobile deaths. ‘The statement follows in full text: ‘The need for uniform vehicle legisla- tion in the different States, which was brought out by the third National Con- ference on Street and Highway Safety, with emphasis on the enactment of drivers’ license laws and the preven- tion of reckless and dangerous driving on the streets and roads, is stressed by the newspapers of the United States in recent editorials dealing with the auto- mobile traffic situation. Seventy-Eight Cities Show Decline. The report of the division of vital statistics of the Bureau of the Census for the four weeks ending August 9 shows that for the first time since last December the number of deaths from automebile sccidents in 78 of the larger ¢fties of the country fell beiow tie num- ber for the same four weeks in 1929, ‘The death rate for this year, it is in- dicated in the report, has not increased since the middle of June and has had a downward swing since the middle of July and falling below the number of deaths from the same cause in the same period last year. From February to June this year there was an almost TOUR played a material part in the automobile fatality line down ke Hundreds of editorials have appeared throughout the country during the Summer on the startling aspects of the accident and fatality record of 1929, with the increase for the first six months of this year, and discussing the proposals and recommendations of the third national conference. Grade-Crossing Problem Attacked. Attention has been given especially to the toll of lives at railroad grade cross- ings and to the increasing belLcfits of safety education among children in the schools. In urging the enactment of uniform State laws and municipal ordinances as a means of simplifying traffic regula- tions and reducing the hazard of acci-| dents through conflicting rules in dif-| ferent States and jurisdictions, the edi- torials direct attention to the need for the passage of laws by all States that have not done so providing for the| mandatory examination of automobile | drivers as to physical fitness and ability to handle motor vehicles and of :]nowledge of traffic laws and regula- jons. ‘The toll of accidents and fatalities for | the last year, as revealed in the report of the Committee on Traffic Accident Statistics of the Third National Confer- ence, has aroused editorial demands in every State and in Canada for a curb on reckless and careless driving and for control by law of the privilege of oper- ating motor vehicles on streets and highways. Uniform Code Backed. An unusual number of newspapers have urged the passage by the Legisla- tures of their States of the uniform ve- hicle code of the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety, consist- ing of four acts, as follows: 1. Uniform motor vehicle registration act. 2. Uni- form motor vehicle anti-theft act. 3. Uniform motor vehicle operators and | chauffeurs’ license act 4. Uniform | act regulating traffic on highways and the model municipal traffic ordinance for adoption by cities and towns. Road Built in One Day. By building 35 miles of road in one day, Mexicans living near Tremendo are believed to have broken the world highway construction record. The stretch was a section of a highway which will link the Mexican cities of | Guadalajara and Mexico City. When news of the intended project reached | TremszGo, messengers catidled the word throughout the district. In answer to their call, 2,000 ranchers and native Tarascan Indians dropped their own work and hastened to the site of the proposed road. Starting at dawn, they completed it by sundown. STEAMSHIPS continuous climb in the number of au- tomobile fatalities each month, with each succeeding higher than the pre- vious one. ‘While no cause for the decrease is as- signed by the division of vital statistics, it is reasonable to believe that the ac- tive efforts of the newspapers of the country in urging safety and seeking to combat the increasing number of deaths on the streets and roads have Summer, showing attractive portions of Potomac Heights gardens and lawns and some favorite blossoms. Fifty or more subjects were thrown on tiw screen and discussed informally by the members. Fred Thring, treasurer, co-operated with Mr. Reynolds in providing the projector for the photographs.
