By the Associated Press. . DALTON, Ga., October 4—Men who comb a living off the mountainsides of North Georgia came down from the hills yesterday to swap horses and yarns, do a little whittling and barter again like folk did in the bustle and buggy era. It was the first swappers’ convention held here in many years and things went off swell. Business men said things hummed. Horse trading is as old as man's de- sires to swap anything from a Barlow knife to a farm. Word that there will be a swap at a certain place is spread among the farmers and they set that day aside to trade for what they want and trade off what they don't want. The women cook a big dinner; the bovs get scrubbed behind the ears and Blaled Liue girla gel their hak Ad| Hagons and CADREd, tied with ribbons. The whole bunch including the dogs are loaded into wagons (or automobiles) and the fam- ily drives to town. The women go to the stores to buy and the men gather to trade. Each animal is examined thoroughly and if a bargain is struck it's closed. Horse traders don't whine after they swap. A man might trade five or six times in one day before he gets the horse he wants and he mjght come to town with a plug and go home with a fine steed. Swaps also are made for farm equipment—a plough for some har- ness, a pitchfork for a hoe, or any- thing that a fellow wants to trade. It wasn't many years ago when the Irish horse traders worked all the South. -Many fortunes have been start- ed at a country swap. In those days swaps were held during court week and farmers came to town in covered Upon the results of that wooing will | ment calling for the elimination of Lieut. s WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION WASHINGTON, D.

Roosevelt's Candidate—Thacher on New Ticket. ! By the Associated Press ALBANY, N. Y, Octcber 4 —John H. | McCooey, Brooklyn Democratic leader, | today proposed two compromise tickets, !bolh headed by United States Senator Robert F. Wagner for Governor, in an effort to break a deadlock in the Demo- cratic State Convention between those favoring Lieut. Gov. Herbert H. Lehman and the group, including Tammany Hall, opposing him. McCooey first advanced a slate that | ignored Lehman but included former Gov. Alfred E. Smith for the United States Senate. Smith, who is supporting the lieuten- ant,governor and intends nominating him, refused to accept a place on that siate.

The platform adopted at the con- vention pointed with approval to the Democratic national ticket, said that the Democratic record included the adoption of an “intelligent system of unemployment relief under non-parti- san direction,” the adoption of a sys- tem of old-age security against want and the passage of laws aimed against the gangster and the racketeer and outlined various measures that it fa- vored. The party pledged itself to “every possible economy in State government.” For unemployment and relief pur- poses, the platform proposed: “We urge the adoption by the voters of the proposition to be submitted at the coming election authorizing the creation of a State debt of $30,000,000 as a contribution to the different lo- calities for provision for care of the unemployed. Plan for Relief. “We further advocate: The mobiliza- tion of every resource of the State to give complete assurance that no one shall go cold, unsheltered or hungry by reason of the emergency; the expansion of all necessary public construction, with special emphasis upon self-liquidating projects; the advance planning and tim- ing of public construction so as to pro- vide employment in periods of business recession; the expansion of our system of free employment offices, unemploy- ment insurance—on the contributory basis—and not by way of dole, and the shorter work week. On prohibition, it made one short sentence statement: “We demand the repeal of the eight- eenth amendment and insist upon amendment to the Volstead act at the earliest session of Congress to legalize light wines and beer.” The platform pledged the Democrats to use their best efforts to the restora- tion of agriculture as a profitable indus- try in the State.

Agents as Fugitive on National Bank Act Charge. Arthur L. Hitner, alias W. W. Wight- man, who became a fugitive from jus- tice after allegedly posing as a mys- terlous underworld character Wwho | “knew something” about the kidnap- ing of the Lindbergh baby, has been arrested in Virginia by special agents of the United States Bureau of Investi- gation, it was disclosed today at the Department of Justice. Hitner is wanted by the Government, not as a suspect in the Lindbergh case, but_as a fugitive from Federal custody in alo, where he is under indict- ment for violation of the national bank- ing act. Hitner is said to have duped Dean Dobson-Peacock, one of the trio of Nor- folk negotiators in the kidnaping case, when the clergyman visited New York to keep what he supposed to be an en- gagement with representatives of the baby abductors. It is recalled that Dean Dobson-Peacock made a flying trip north during .the height of the Norfolk devel ents and held a hotel conference with rough-looking men claiming to be members of the kidnap . _The dean is said to have iden- Hitner from a m’ raph a5 one { of the men with whom he talked on that occasion. At another time Hitner is reported to have come to Washington and con- ferred with Mrs. Rebecca Greathouse, assistant United States rney and cousin of Mrs. Lindbergh, and with John Marshall, former Assistant Attor- ney General and close friend of the Morrow family. ‘The conference was arranged after Hitner had written a number of let- ters in which he claimed to have knowledge of the whereabouts of the Lindbérgh baby. Hitner also is said to have_asserted he was_connected with the Purple Gang of Detroit, a crime ring which investigators once belleved to_be involved in the kidnaping. Hitner was arrested at Hot Springs, Va., by agents operating under direc- tion of J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the Bureau of Investigation. He was brought to Warrenton, Va., and now lodged in the Fauquier County Jail, pending re- moval to Buffalo. This is his second arrest since the kidnaping.

Washington coal consumers probably have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars through short-weight coal scales | George M. Roberts, superintendent of weights, measures and markets, sub- mitted to the District Commissioners | today. Mr. Roberts disclosed that 75 per cent of the large scales for weighing coal and other heavy merchandise, test- ed for the first time during the last year, were found incorrect. Repairs Quickly Made. It was never possible to test these scales before last year, he said, because his department had no truck for con- veying large weights needed to test the scales. e purchase of such a truck last year made the tests possible for the first time. Wherever defects were ascertained, the report said, “the own- ers of the scales readily co-operated by | having repairs made.” In the record of prosecutions in the report, there is no mention of prose- cuting any coal dealers. Apparently their corrections of their scales were Part of the report dealing with the investiga- tional work says: “In a considerable number of estab- lishments investigated slight irregulari- ties were found. In such cases correc- tion was effected through warning. ad- monition and advice. Minor violations are usually due to carelessness. or lack of information upon the part of persons committing them, and can be remedied without resort to prosecution. “Since the prime purpose of the weights and measures law is to correct rather than to punish, it has never been deemed desirable to institute prosecu- tions in cases involving only minor in- fractions which could otherwise be cor- rected.” 13,387 Visits Paid. During the year, “he report says, in- spectors made 13,387 official visits to business establishments to check weigh- ing and measuring instruments, of which 3.121 were “surprise” visits. The staggering total of 2,982914 separate devices was checked, and of this num. ber 2908 were adjusted before bei. approved and 249 defective scales and measures were condemned and de- stroyed. Prosecutions in Police Court for short weights and measures netted $906. Among the cases were short-measure gasoline, failure to weigh ice, short- weight bread, excessive liquid in oysters | (the law says there must be not more than 10 per cent), selling unlabeled bread. using false measures and using condemned measuring pump. The total revenue from the District's markets, which also came under Mr. Roberts’ jurisdiction, was $30,596.02. Mr. Roberts expects that this will be con- siderably increased this year by rev- enues from the new farmers’' market. which was in operation for only the two last months of the 1932 fiscal year.
