MURRAY OVERRULED BY SUPREME COURT Oklahoma Judges Decide Highway Commission Fight in Favor of Lew H. Wentz. Bv the Assoclated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, September 24— The bitter legal fight between Lew H.

Quiet reigned throughout the Middle West in the strike against selling non- perishable produce, -uch as live stock and grain. Milo Reno, president of the Farmers' National Holiday Association, and John Chalmers, president of the Jowa unit of the organization, said at Des Moines that the campaign had not gone on long enough to determine accu- rately the results. Picketing was frowned on by strike leaders when they issued their call for the non-selling movement against grain and live stock, but the holiday associa- tions in three counties in the Monte- video, Minn., area decided to put pick- ets in the .

By the Associated Press. EVANSTON, Il 24— The diet of three little white mice in the Haven Elementary School has become the subject of controversy, with Mrs. Irene Castle McLaughlin joining with those who believe they should have bet- ter food. Specifically, Mrs. McLaughlin and the Evanston Anti-Cruelty Society are ob- jecting to an unbalanced diet the ro- dents are receiving under direction of Mrs. George Crossland, the school’s do- mestic science teacher, who is using the mice to teach her pupils the effect of roper food in heaith building. A fourth mouse is getting what's good for it, while its three companions are being deprived of vegetable matter to show the effects in retarded growth. The Anti-Cruelty Society passed a resolution condemning the experiment and demanding that it be prohibited by the district school board, while Mrs. McLaughlin, the former famous dancer, | declared it would make the children “callous to cruelty.” Such objections were characterized by Mrs. Crossland as “ridiculous.” “I want to show my pupils the effects of unscientific and unbalanced diets,” she said. “The demonstration certainly does not constitute cruelt: HOUSEBOAT SUICIDE THEORY STRONGER September Inquest in Death of Sylvia Rochkin Is Set for Monday.

Although the investigators had reached no definite conclusion, pend- ing a coroner’s inquest set for 11 o'clock Monday morning, they were inclined to the theory the young woman hanged herself from a ceiling rafter of the boat’s gallery. { A coroner’s jury was sworn in over | Miss Rochkin’s body in the District | Morgue this morning.

Beatrice was 20 years old at the time, it was said. Speidel’s statement was made during a three-hour grilling by Dalglish and Capt. Bernard W. Thompson, acting chief of detectives. In all essential par- ticulars the statement tallied with the story told by Speidel at the time of his arrest by seventh precinct police. Friendship Reviewed.

Harrison E. Spangler, Towa's Repub- lican national committeeman, told news- paper men today he did not expect a “hostile demonstration” from striking farmers when President Hocver goes to Des Moines October 4 for his first cam- paign speech. Milo Reno, president of the National Farmers' Holiday Association, has an- nounced plans for a parade of 20,000 farmers on President Hocver's arrival in the Towa city. “The men and women of this State ought to try to educate him,” the strike leader said, referring to the President. “We have a right to portray the real condition that exists in this country, | and we have the right to hold Hoover | responsible.” Conference With Hoover. Spangler, a White House guest, dis- the situation with newspaper men after a conference with President Hoover about the trip to Iowa. “I don't believe,” he said, “that the people of Iowa would want to put on any hostile demonstration. They have too much respect for the President of the United States to do such a thing.” President Hoover began yesterday the task of writing his Des Moines speech, the first of three campaign addresses he has agreed tc make outside of Wash- ington during the election campaign. Mr. Hoover today abandoned plans for spending the week end at his Rapi- dan camp and is giving most of his attention to writing the Des Moines speech, with the expectation that he will have it completed in time to have advance copies sent out several days before his departure. After conferring with the President, Spangler said it had not been de- | termined definitely where the speech | would be delivered in Des Moines, but | it was thought either the Des Moines Coliseum or the nearby Shrine Temple would be chosen. Mr. Hoover is believed to have made it clear to Mr. Spangler that he pre- ferred an indoor hall for his speech. According to Mr. Spangler the Presi- dent’s special train to Des Moines will be met at the State line by Gov. Dan Turner and a party of State officials and prominent Republican leaders, who will escort him to the capital and to his headquarters.
