~ PEACE 50 YEARS Once Formidable Tribe to Cele- brate Eveat Rosebud, 8. D., Sept. 18. MP—The wildly adventurous and tragic ro- mance of a once powerful Indian people will be relived in pageantry when the Brule Sioux celebrate t e fiftieth anniversary of their settle- ment of this government agency. Five thousand Indian lodges wiil encircle the huge camping grounds September 18 to 21, The cere- monial sun dance, a gruescme ritual of self-torture last staged on the Rosebud 47 years ago, Wwill be revived for the occasion. The tribe's migration from east to west, centuries ago, will be re- produced in the pageant. Said in Jegend to antedate the coming of Columbus, the migration followed the conquest of the Sioux by east- ern enemies. Wearied, they turned to the setting sun, and made the long, uncharted trail on foot, stop- ping for years, sometimes centu- ries, at garden spots along the route, fighting, conquering hostile Mhosts, until finally they emerged at “Sparkling Water,” the river. Here for two they contended, savage, this time with the fierce Pawnees. centuries savage more The invaders, victorious at length, | extended {heir hostile operations to the four winds. They virtually ruled that tremendous expanse of wild country. It was they who checked the white man's early advances to the lwest; they who waged bitter, re- lentless warfare with the white eol- diers sent to protect the pioneers; and it was not until 1868 that the tirst peace was effected. Defactions in the tribe’s ranks oc- curred, and its numbers were great- | ly reduced, the two remaining bands being ruled by Red Cloud and Spot- | ted fail. In 1874, when the gold rush was on in earnest, the war- path again was pursued, though 'Spotted Tail kept his Brules peacc- ful, and eventually persuaded Red (Cloud also to smoke the pacific ‘pipe. . In 1878, the Sioux, depleted numbers and ne longer powerful, were escorted, under white protec- tion, to the present reservation at Rosebud, midway between the Black Hills and the Missouri river. Here the influence of civilization began. The changes it has wroughs on the red man and his life, the transi- ftion from tepee to frame house, from woodland path to paved side- walk, from bow and arrow of the huntsman to plow and hoe of the agrarian, will he marked at the kelebration as well as the historical aspects of migration and warfare.

GHICAGD POLICE RACE WITH EATH Try to Stop Kidnapers of Italian Youth Chicago, Sept. 18 () — Confident that they have in custody three of the six men who kidnaped ten year kld Billy Ranieri 12 days ago, po- lice last night were engaged in what they termed a race with death—an attempt to find the three other ab- ductors before they carried out Eheir threats to kill the boy and send his head to the frantic parents. Demanded $80,000 The abductors who at first de- fmanded §60.000 from A. Frank Ranier, Italian sewer contractor, for the return of his son, today sent What they called final demands. In these they asked for $15,000 and hreatened to decapitate the child bnd send the parents “a little pack- age” if their wishes were not ac- Quiesced in. Three separate searches for the lad and his abductors were being made. The Chicago police were konducting a hunt after arresting three men who they said comprised balf the kidnaping ring. The father of the missing boy who had asked the police to stay out of the search because he feared for his boy's life if they interfered but who apparently had asked police aid later, yesterday was reported as Bgain making individual efforts to with the abductors.

Those under arrest who the police said are mem- Lers of the band, are Salvatore Mas- trofanni and Renoldo S8chiedo, al- ready charged with the kidnaping. and Angelo Petitti, an alleged ex- tortioner. The police said they %new the names of the three other men they charge perpetrated the kidnaping, but did not reveal them BELIEVE 300 LOST IN GAUDELOUPE French Hear of Terrific Toll o Hurricane Paris, Sept. 18 (P—The fury of the West Indies on Thursday is es- |timated by the governor of Guad- eloupe, French West Indies, to have taken a toll of 300 lives there. In a report to the minister of colonies he said 235 bodies had already been re- covered. It was feared that when the full toll became known, however, it would amount beyond the 300 mark. The governor, when he sent his esti- mate, had just arrived at Pointe A Pitre, the chief town of Guadeloupe. He reported that 60 were dead in Pointe A Pitre which contains nearly one-fifth of the total population of 230,000 of the island and that the town had been devastated and the ! suburbs completely wiped out. When the wreckage is cleared aw=y, the deaths may be foéund to be greater than estimated by the governor on his first survey. Can’t Reach Villages Many villages also have not yet been reached by courier and all other communications have been si- lent. It was believed that these vil- | lages suffered greatly from the hur- | ricane with the rest of the island. A tidal wave struck Bourg, level- ing it. trapped there and perished. The island dependencies were also hard hit. On the island of Marie Ga- lante, which has a population of with a resulting toll in human lives. The island of Desirade reported sim- ilar damages and suffering among its 1,600 population, with two dead. Plantations Wrecked ings and factories were destroyed and unroofed. Rum distilleries were severly damaged as well as homes. Apparently Martinique did not suf- fer as heavily as Guadeloupe, the governor of Guadeloupe reported three men drowned when a tidal wave swamped a score of small hoats. A few houses were wrecked and crops and highways suffered. Great Britain's possession in the West Indies also were hit by the gale the Leeward Islands reporting a death toll of 44. Monsterrat reported 25 dead and fifty injured. Medical stores, food and clothing were being sent there from Antigua, which reported no loss of life. On gt. Kitts (8t. Christophers) six persons perished. At Basse Terre on that island the property damage was estimated at $300,000. | 13 Dead Thirteen dead were reported from Nevis. The seafront at Dominica was heavily damaged but there was no | loss of life. ! Ruth Elder’s Hushand Panama, Sept. 18 (®—Lyle Wo- mack, who is suing Ruth Elder for divorce, was bound for the antarctic today aboard the City of New York, one of the ships of Commander Richard E. Byrd's expedition to the fouth Pole. Womack signed as an ciler yesterday and sailed for Dune- din, New Zealand, aboard the vessel. Womack was understood to have criginally planned to enter the army fiying school in Texas, but apparent- ly encountered di ulties because he was married, which was thought to have barred enlistment. Womack is the second person from the Isthmus to join the Byrd expedition. Max Boehning, a Pana- ma railroad employe, signed as third ssistant engineer replacing William Jennings Cumming, who will return to New York hecause of ill health.

BABSON TALKS ON ‘LABOR SITUATION Says Employment -Is Chiel Economic Factor Now Sept. 18 its effect | Babson Park, Mass, (UP)—Employment and 'on business and gold exports with |its effect on the financial situation |are the two economic factors which dominate the outlook for 1929, Roger | W. Babson, economist, told the 15th annual national business conference here yesterday. Not unless &tock speculation cools down, Babson said, will there be an casy credit situation like that of last fall. But if the outfiow of gold continues at the present rate—over 1$500,000,000 in the past 12 months [—it will have an important influ- ence in deflating present “careening |stock prices,” he added. Going Downward fairly active business, the economist continued, “the direction of employ- {ment is slowly downward. The United States department of labor index is 3 per cent less than a year ago and payrolls are 2, per cent | lower, he pointed out. “But this downward tend in em- ployment is not due fundamentally to the condition of business,” he |said. “New inventions, labor-saving | devices and improved technical pro- cesses and other short-cut methods are putting workers out of jobs. Un- |employment has hit practically all (lines of industry. The present pinch | |comes in great measure from the [fact that new jobs are growing less and the number of seekers is in- ! | creasing. This. i the inevitable tem | porary penalty of efficiency. We arc | in what might be called a period of | ‘workless prosperity. ** | Use All Our Incomes | Babson deplored the fact that | right up to the hilt of our income: Many people, he said, pending their income via the in- stallment payment system, before it is earned. “This means,” he warned, “that any further lessening in employ: {ment, any curtailisg of the nation's | pay envelopes, will seriously jeon- ardize the business outlook. And 20,000, almost all houses collapsed [so I say, watch employment as an | | outstanding barometer of for 1929." | Despite the sharp drop in busi- ness activity during the fall, moder- ate expansion should develop in some lines, he believed. Crops are good, Babson said, although the re- cent dip in crop prices may pre- | vent the farmers’ purchasing power | from increasing above last year. | “The craze for speculation is still | fastened upon everyone and values | count for very little,” he said. “The |crop of amateur stock bhuyers is |many times what it was before the | war and constantly increasing. To {them a stock is ‘good’ as long as it |ean be made to rise regardless of the usual standards of value. It is Florida all over again and will in- |evitably bring the Florida after- |math. The pools also have succeed- led in advancing stocks to new lev- els and should they decide to un- load hefore election day the effect | will be significant.” High Bond Prices Babson said he looked for con- tinued high bond prices and low | yields. Money rates will remain general- {ly firm throughout the fall, he said | The foliowing states, |to the economist. should offer the | best sales opportunities for most |lines of gooas for .the next few business sas, New” Jersey, No. Dabota, Cali | When Pain Comes Two What wany tion very often excess In the stomach.
