SPRAY. IF DO NOT DIP.
Inspector Hand Prepared for No Vat Communities With Hand Apparatus.

Grady H. Hand, federal inspector, has received spray pump for use in districts where the vats have been blown up, or are not available. The spray pump is just as effective, but whereas 200 cattle can be dipped in an hour, only about ten can be sprayed in the same length of time. So Uncle Sam will get rid of the ticks, vat or no vat.

Inspectors Think
 NY. Mail Robbery
 Was Inside Job"

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-Diselosure of the fact that the loot in last nights mail truck holdup in Broad way included nearly S500.000 in bonds, coupled with Postmaster General Hays offer of a $5,000 re- ward for the robbers. dead or alive" today set detectives working on a theory that the rich haul was an inside job.'
 Of the stolen securities. $463.000 worth were the property of patrons of the Chase National bank, while s27 ,000 worth belong to the Park National bank. The inside job theory was based on the belief that news of the shipment had reached the band through channels so reliable that they not only knew which truck was to carry it, but could pick out the sacks containing the booty.
 Bank officials criticised the postal authorities for allowing so valuable a shipment to be transported at night through the city streets. The mail truck was in charge of only one man, the chauffeur.
 Besides stationing police and fed eral officers to cover all possible exits from the city, Postal Inspector John CoughIin set 40 clerks at work making a check-up of registered mail in the stolen bags.

 Baltimore Police
CRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wire1

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 25-A negro was killed in a battle with Baltimore police at Humphrey sta- tion, a suburb of this city, late to- night following a threatened race riot. The riot was precipitated by an assault upon a while girl by negro. At late hour a band of negroes were in a house, surrounded by police.
 Later police forced an entrance into the house and found that the slain negro's companions were two negresses. The dead negro was iden- tified as Robert Brown of Humphrey. The trouble was an outgrowth Of an alleged criminal assault on the five year-old daughter of Mir. and Mrs Thomas McClare. committed by a negro Monday. One negro is held, accused of the assault, and two others charged with threatening the girls mother.
 Feeling on the part of both white and negro residents has been running high since Monday but as the ac- cused had been removed to Annapo- lis, the authorities had not anticipated any serious clash.

PRESIDENT SEES NEEDS IF SOUTH
 ON DIXIE TRIP

ON BOARD PRESIDENT HARD ING'S SPECIAL TRAIN, Oct.2S- Going to Alabama to speak tomor- row at the Birmingham semi -centen- nial, President Harding today got his first picture of the south since he became chief executive
 Most of the day as his train travel ed from WashingI n, the President watched from his window and made many comments on the accomplish ments and needs of the Southern states. Ae several places southern products, including fruits and special ly cured tobaccos were presented to him.
 Some of the larger cities turned out crowds 70 greet the train. How ever, the tram slipped through most of the towns without attracting un- usual attention.
 At Charlottesville Va, students of the University or Virginia serenaded the President with yells and he pre- sented to them three of his guests, Secretary Weeks, Senator Fall and Senator Underwood of Alabama, the Democratic leader of the senate.
 MT. Underwood. in a brief speech, praised MT. Harding as "the greatest man in America D
 There were several thousand peo- pie waiting to cheer the President at Charlotte, N. .. In a short talk he expressed appreciation of the well come accorded him.
 q have never had the opportunity before" he said, ito ride across your state in daylight and have come to think more Of old North Carolina to- day than ever before. You are a fortunate people. It Is great achievement to have diversified pro- ductivity and we have noted how ap- parently well employed you are"
 The President also referred to the conference on limitation of arma- ments and asserted his hope that America would play "a big part" il the accomplishments of the confer ence. He declared this country would enter the conference in an unselfisE attitude, prepared to do everything it can toward an agreement.
 Another crowd assembled about the presidential cor at Danville. Va and the President and Mrs. Harding aIighted to shake hands. At Calver- ton he chatled for several minutes with overalled train employees.
 The train, which left Washington al 9 am, is to reach Birmingham al S:45 tomorrow morning. MT. Hard ing will spend the day there. He then will leave for Camp Benning Ga, where he is to make a two houl visit on Thursday and will proceed to Atlanta to deliver an address al 1 the Grady monument. He will re turn to Washington Friday.

RED CROSS WORK AS IMPORTANT IN
 PEACE AS IN WAR

Why should the Red Cross go on in peace times? That question is asked everywhere I go," said Miss Mary c. Cole, director of pubic health nursing for the Pacific division of the Reu Cross, who is in Phoenix for a few days.
 Anyone who knows the work of this department of the Red Cross VIII never ask that question: Miss Cole went on. "Our war has not ended with the signing of peace treaties The war against preventable diseases knows no dates or proclamauons. u goes on until we educate communi- ties to control disease. The war dls- closed the poor physical condition or so many of the nations young men that it has awakened us to the ne cessity for action"
 Miss Cole is travelling throughout the Western states in the interest of the coming membership campaign, to be held in Phoenix the week of No- vember Ills. She has lectured in Globe, Miami and Yuma and will leave Phoeniy today for other points in Arizona. She is exceedingly inter ested in her work and has devoted great many years to Red Cross ser vice. During the war she was in charge of the visiting nurses associa- tion in Santa Barbara. At present she is visiting all Red Cross public health centers, and is placing nurses in charge of various districts.
 According to Mis- Cole. there were at one time S9 of these Red Cross health centers in this state. Then came the business depression, and many of them could not be main tained Too, the local Red Cross is devoting so much of it's funds and energy to the disabled soldier problem in this community. that it has left to other agencies the maintenance Of that service.
 Your spirit of helpfulness is just as much needed now as it was dur ing the war, though in a different way" Miss Cole says. You were all splendid in this community during the war. You cannot fail in the coming campaign"

]. {. DELEGATES PLAN SOLUTION IF ARMS ISSUES
rRepubIIcan A. ?. Leased WIre1


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Concrete proposals to meet each problem pre- sented for solution in the agenda of the conference of limitation of arma- ments and the discussion of Far Eastern and Pacific questions will have been shaped by the American delegation for presentation when the conference meets. Defint assurance that progress made by the delegation warranted this prediction was ob tained today at the state depart ment.
 Including in the suggestions to be made by the American delegation will be plan for elimination of naval armament. The session of the four American delegates yesterday with Secretary Denby and naval officials followed by the dinner conference with President Harding appeared to- day to have assured full approval of the plan prepared.
 No hint has been given as to the nature of the American plan.
 Officials have not been willing to comment, even in view of the state ment received last night through Associated Press dispatches from the Japanese delegation, which said the basis of Japan's program would be d 10 u6lGIlSlN6 HAY large enough to cope with any maya force that any other nation could send into the Far East.
 Emphasis was laid today on the view that the arms conference was to be a clearing house for all pro- posals as to ways and means ol arriving at limitation or possible re- duction of military and naval forces Each of the five powers participat- ing is expected to enter the confer ence with it's views and suggestions as we'll worked out in advance as those of the Americans. It is iron this pooling of thought that officials hope to see flow a final agreement.
 There was still doubt today as tC whether it. would be possible that the first formal session could be held a. planned on Armistice day, Novembel II There exists a conflict in time with plans for Americas tribute tC her unknown dead on that day, whict has not been solved. If no way around the difficulty can be found the conference will meet first No vember 12. There appeared today to be a strong possibility that i would be put over to that day. al though official announcement Wa! withheld pending a final aetempt tt adjust the two programs.

Board Buried in Work


 Since the organization of the board a title more than eighteen months ago, mo than 1000 cases involving disputes between the car riers and emplo~es have been filled with the board. More than TOO cases have been disposed of The board has been deluged with minor disputes whio1 would not have been sent here had tle carriers and their employees co-operated in the estab- lishment of adjustment boards, as provided in the transportation act
 Three questions of paramount inn portance havt been before the board, the wage ire. ease of 1920, the wage reduction of 1927 and the adoption or new rules and working conditions The two wage controversies ,xera disposeu of. The board has been justly urged by the carriers to complete its consideration of the rules and hand down it's decision.
 It is the judgment of the board as a matter of procedure. it would be unwise, and as matter of policy. unjus., to discontinue consid- eration of rules and working condl- tions and enter into prolonged hearing of an application to reduce wages at this time
 Not Coerced by Strike
 ..It is not within the province of the board to shut the door in the face of either carriers or employees but it is within the discre- ton of the board to fix the order in which i- will take up and consider the numerous matters submitted to It.
 Tt will thus become apparent that the employees, who are protesting against a further wage cut, are cross ing bridges long before they can pos sibly get to them, and that the car riers can not hasten a wage reduc- tion by applying for it at this time.
 -.The board is not affected bS the threat of a strike II adopted several weeks ago a policy of making everything secondary to consideration of rules and working conditions. but even with the greatest diligence, it will require considerable time to complete the de- cision of rules.
 Tn view of the above consiGerst- tions. it has been the purpose of the hoard that the suomission of the car riers and employees and working con ditioas shall be completely disposed Of as to any particular class of em- rloves before a hearing is had on any ouestion of wages affecting said class of employees in any carrier GOV cred by decision No. 147 (165 Class A railroads)
 While information coming from the labor board members was that the hearing which begins tomorrow probably would last at least for seV- eral days. members of the Association of Railway Executives said that a number of railroad heads were mak- ing reservations on outgoing trains tomorrow night in the belief that they would not be needed here after that tir1c.
 The board voted seven to two in ia . vor of issuing the memoranda to the railroads. members said. A o. What ton of the labor group and Horace Baker of the rail group opposed It.

(strike) trouble lies in the fact that said carriers have notified certain executives of said organizations (con- dUctors. engineers. firemen, bain- men, switchmen and telegraphers) that Il is the purpose of the carriers to apply to the railroad labor board for further reduction in wages, ad- difional to that ordered July l, 1921.
 'The proper consideration of con- ditions surrounding matters now pending before the board should re move any immediate occasion for strife between the carriers and said organizations of employees growing out of a possible reduction of wages by the labor board.

sions of wage agreements that will destroy rules in effect for many years. Nothing has alarmed the men to a greater extent than this seem ing determination 10 abrogate rules, until announcement Is made that another wage reduction will be in sisted upon.
 Anxious For Settlement
 At the meeting of all of the gen eral chairmen in Chicago in July in structions were issued to the chief executives of the organizations to en- deavor to get some understanding with the proper representatives of the railroad corporations so that peace could again be restored. Not withstanding efforts extending oyer 60 days the only reply obtainable from the accredited representatives of the railroad corporations was that they would not agree to leave the rules of employment intact and would not agree to not demand fur ther wage reductions This situa- ton was set forth in the strike bal lot submitted to the membership.
 When the ballots were counted and it was learned that an over whelming majority of the railroad employees had voted in favor of a strike, the general committee. reluc- tant to resort to strike, passed a resolution instructing the chief executives to again get into commu- nication with the proper representa- tives of the railroads in the hope there might be some satisfactory ad- justment of all these matters in con- troversy. This was done and at a meeting of the presidents of the rail road corporations in Chicago on Oc- tober 14, a committee was appointed to meet the chief executives of the organizations at which meeting the chief executives used every effort to prsuade the railroads to adopt some conciliatory attitude. In reply the chief executives were told that the railroad presidents had that after noon passed a resolution tLat they would proceed immediately to secure another wage reduction. This was reported to the committee of general chairmen, when they set the date fol the strike, and asked for approval o1 | the chief executives which approva was given.
 l If press reports are to be taken a 1 their face the whole power of th' | administration is going to be uset | to defeat the strike of the employees Not one word comes through tn 1 press that any influence is beinl
 used on the railroad corporations 1 What is to be done between nov
 and October 30. no one knows. ThJ-
 seems to be no disposition on tn
 part of any one to bring about al
 equitable adjustment, and there
 where the matter stands.
