Negro Believed To Have Murdered Sinnreich At

(State Capital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 13.- Police and members of the sheriff's department continued their search late Wednesday for Herbert Julius, alias Jim Dorsey, negro, who is believed to have killed W. A. Sinnreich, distrib- utor for local bottling works, late Tuesday. A blunt instrument was used
 The charred remains of Sinnreich's body were found early Wednesday morning in the bushes about three blocks from the Mount Meigs road, about six miles from town. Sheriff Phelps said he believed the distributor was killed for the money he was carry ing. He said information showed he was returning to Montgomery from a trip to Tuskegee and usually collected about $125 on such trips. No trace of the money could be found.
 The theory advanced is that Dorsey killed his employer, carried him on the truck for several miles, and then att tempted to burn the body to evade detection. The negro deserted the truck and is said to have come into Mont gomery. All clues rendered the sher- iff'S department were closely followed today, but until late tonight no clue had led to the arrest of Julius.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 13.-- David V. B. Todd, manager of local gun store, received a serious gun shot wound in a peculiar accident today. He had removed the barrel from the gun and was cIamping it in vice for the purpose of making repairs. A shell, lodged in the barrel, exploded when the clamps were applied and the shot en- tered Mir.

He was carried to a local hospital where the report was made that he is in serious con dition though it is not probable that the wound will be fatal or that ampu- tation will be necessary.
 Suburbs Cut Gas-GasOline sold for 22 cents a gallon in Montgomery and 21 cents in the suburbs today. Dealers announced a decrease of one cent a gallon when word caine from head quarters of the Standard Oil company that the demand for gasoline is not as heavy at this season as estimates had predicted.
 The city is collecting a one-cent tax on all gasoline sold within the city limits. This accounts for the higher price in Montgomery. The state is collecting two cents gallon, also.

MIDDLE WEST WANTS TO SEE
 } CANDIDATES
Demand That Contenders For Presidency Cross
 The Mississippi
By RAYMOND CHAPTER. (By Leased Wire to Age-Hera1d.) (COpyriRft, 1024,J

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-There will be deep disappointment all through the middle west if Coolidge and La Toilette do not follow the example of John w. Wayis and make plans for extensive isits in the doubtful section during the campaign.
 Presidential candidates in the past always have touched that country and the voters have come to regard it as one of their rights that they shall see the men they are asked to vote for. Out there traveller from Washing ton is asked not about the tariff, the world court or the League of Nations, but about Coolidge, Davis and La Follette,-what they look like, how they act off-stage. These people revel in the little anecdotes which reveal human traits of the men.
 Demand For All Three.
 They heard Davis over the radio Monday night as distinctly as if they had been standing thirty feet from him in .Clarksburg. They will hear Coolidge as clearly Thursday night us if they were in Continental Memorial hall. But close as the radio and the movie have brought the candidates to the people, they only whet the appe- tite to set the real flesh and blood. So it is logical that there is strong demand that all three candidates cross the Mississippi before November.
 Furthermore, the doubtful situation in the pivotal middle western states makes local politicians there extremely anxious to bring their candidates be- fore the voters this year. Both Cool idse and La Toilette will find it diff ficult to resist the cries of distress which will go up after Davis makes his big western swing.
 Democrats believe they have a candi- date whose personality will sell itself to the country on sight; and, daring tine republicans to send the President out in the west.
 Much is being said and written just now about the Coolidge personality. It is so naffling that it will always be a tantalizing subject for amateur stu dents of human nature. The personal strength of Coolidge all through the middle vet is amazing when it is considered that le is a conservative holdiag views contr.' to those prevail ing m the normally progressive terri tory, and when it is considered that a year ago Le had sunk into humiliat- ing oblivion as vic president. Now he is generally rege'd ded through the west as strong. silent figure, who says little sut thinks much, who deals in actions not words. There is amaZ- ing confidence m lin that he is safe. Everyone says they feel instinctively that he would never do anything rash or ill-considered. His excellent radio voice has strengthened this impression with the middle western public.

MIAMI, Fla, Aug. 13.-A general exodus of practically every working ne gro in the town of Larkin, ten miles south of Miami, was halted Tuesday night when a sheriffs deputation from this city entered there and disarmed a posse of white men which had been threatening the negroes following an unfruitful. hunt for negro who had sent an insulting note to a white girl.

I bought tickets and were ready to take the first train out of town. All but 25 who came to Miami returned to their homes on assurance that they would not be molested and after a pa- trol had been established for their pro tection.
 Complaints were made by the ne- groes that younger members of the posse were intimidating them and loot ing their homes. They said they had been told that if the fugitive negro was not found soon another one would be killed. Some of the pistols taken from the posse were said to be prop erty of the Miami national guard com pany.

SUDAN OUTBREAK
 WORRIES BRITISH
London Papers Make Display Of Trouble
fRx Associatedatp.ress.l ]

LONDON, Aug. 13.-The London newspapers this morning make a big display of the disturbances in the Sudan, which they attribute to conspiracy by interested persons in Egypt trying to oust the British from the Sudan and es- tablish Egyptian rule over it. Agitation to this end has been. in progress for some months, the main organizers being, it is said, the White Flag society of Cairo.
 It is recalled that the Egyptian pre- mier, Zagloul Pasha, told the chamber in June that Egypt would insist on com plete evacuation of the Sudan by Great Britain and afterward the British min isters announced in parliament that the British on no account would renounee their responsibility to the Sudan and the Sudanese.
 The editorial writers, while not be- lieving that the present trouble will necessarily have serious consequences, foresee a possible regrettable delay in settling the Egyptian problem and even a cancellation of the pending negotia- tiOhs with Zagloul Pasha. Editorial opinion strongly supports the govern ment in its Sudanese policy.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Presi. dent Coolidge, confined himself today largely to government business and the agricultural situation as republican leaders assembled here to launching their national tomorrow with the deliver ance by the President of his speech formally accepting the nomination of the Cleveland convention.
 Several of the party chieftains. ar. irving here today, called at the White House and left their respects with the Presidents Secretary, 0. Rascom Slemp. Most of these, including David W. Mulvane, of Kansas; Representa- tive Winslow, of Massachusetts, and Representative Taylor, of Tennessee, brought encouraging reports on the out look for the party in the campaign.
 MT. Coolidge centered attention on the agricultural situation at q confer cnce of more than. m hour with Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing director of the war finance corporation, and c. T. JaffrEy, president of the recently created Agricultural Credit Corpora tion, both of whom have been in the western states recently. Again at noon Mir. Jaffrey was a guest of the Presi- dent at luncheon. Both men told of a greatly improved condition in agri- culture and declared farmers were def initely on the road to permanent sta bilization. No word was forthcoming from the President concerning the con. ference.
 President Coolidge will meet mem. bers of his notification committee foI the first time tomorrow at a luncheon at the White House. The official no tification ceremonies will be held to- morrow night in Memorial Continental hall, starting at 8 o'clock eastern standard time.

 Contrary to popular belief, Rapp said they take to sheer cliffs only when danger threatens. At other times they stay on the gentler slopes of the higher mountains. Plans are being made to bring an expert hunter to Ne vada next summer to exterminate the cougar, the greatest enemy of the wild mountain sheep.

 Will Remove Road Signs
WILL ELIMINATE POLICY OF ALL HIGHWAY ADVERTISING, AS
 TT TENDS TO MAR SCENERY

f SEATTLE, March 31-Word has just been received from MT. c. E. Ken nedy, Seattle District Sales Manager of the Standard Oil Co.,, that the Stan dard Oil Go. will immediately remove all highway disk signs on the great routes of travel on the Pacific Coast. Convinced that highway advertising de tracts from the natural beauty of the tourist routes of travel of the Pacific Coast, this company has decided that it will erect no more such signs and 1t will immediately remove all of it's signs of this nature now standing. Hereafter the company will confine the use of signs to commercial loca- tions.
 This company feels that the splen- did scenery so characteristic of nearly all of the highways of Washington, of California and Oregon, should be un- marred and on that account it is will ing to sacrifice the advertising value of the signs.
 The decision to change so abruptly it's long established method of adver- Using it's well-known products on the main arteries of travel by the use of disk signs will undoubtedly cost the company a fabulous sum of money. The amount can be fully appreciated when it is realized that there are over twelve hundred of the well-construct- ed disk signs in the five states reach ed by tn Standard Oil Co. of Califor- nia
