DISTRICT TAX POST
SOUGHT FOR OHIOAN
Congressional Delegation Wants
Collector Towers, Democratic
Appointee, Removed.

Amendment of genuine Re
nublican as collector of taxes of the
District of Columbia by removing the
incumbent, c. NJ. Towers. was de-
manded by group of Republican
members of Congress from Ohio, who
called at the White House today to
solicit the assistance OF PRESIDENT
Coolidge. They even brought their
candidate, Clarence Holt, with them.
Those in the group were Repre-
sentatives Murphy, Moore, Thompson
and Foster. They did not see Presi-
dent Coolidge, but they took the mat
ter UP with C. Bascom Slemp, his sec
retary. They declared 1t is about
time some of the "plums" in the Dis
trict building were being given TO
deserving Republicans, and inasm ucn 81
as Collector Towers, who, they. said.
was appointed by the Commissioners
at the personal request of Joseph Z.
Tumulty, secretary to President VIII
son, has held the position Tor NOR e
than ten years, it was about time LOT
the Republicans to take their turn.
Want City Heads Advised.
The group said they realized that
the appointment OF the collector came
under the District Commissioners, and
was not within the province of the
President, but there was every reason
why the Commissioners should be
given to understand by the White
House that the appointment of a Re-
publican to Office now and then would
not be displeasing to the President.
MIR. Holt, who is being suggested
for the collectorship, Is native OF
Steubenville, Ohio, although he has
lived in Washington some little time.
He was described as being a 100 per
cent Republican, eminently qualified
to fill this place.
collector Towers has been in the
District employ for many years. Be-
fore becoming collector, he was for a
number of years deputy collector.
The salary of collector is $4,000.

The first defeat for the fundame ntal

when the committee on judicial busi-
ness accepted a report that had been
presented by a minority section of
the Philadelphia presbytery, which
the fundamentalists majority had
urged be thrown out.
The first burst Of fireworks, II there
are to be any this year, was predicted
for today's session. The debate, IL II

around the pension plan for ministers

headed by Will Hays. president of

CAPITAL PLASTERERS
STRIKE FOR $14 DAY
$50 Men Reported Out by Union,
But Builders Say Few Men
Have Quit.
DEMANDS FLATLY REFUSED
Labor Department Conciliator At.
tacks Deadlock.

Meeting absolute refusal of their de-
mands for $14 day and five-day week,
union plasters went on strike in Wash
ington today.
Conflicting statements relative to the
situation were made by representatives
of workmen and of real estate operat-
ors and builders. Officials of the plas-
terers union, which numbered more
than $50 members, stated that the ma
jority Of their men were at work re-
cetving the new scale, but a survey of
local builders and operators failed to
establish any firm which was paying
the higher rates. Representatives of
the Builders-Operators Association
stated that they were placing nom
union men on Jobs today and that not
a single report of break in the ranks
of their members who decided at a
meeting yesterday to fight the strike
had come to them.
Concfliator Assigned.
Already the conciliation bureau of
the Department of Labor has assigned
John B. Colpoys as conciliator in the
difficulties. He will meet a dead
locked situation. Plasterers over a
month ago placed demands for the
s14 day and five-day week in lieu Of
the existing s12 day and forty four
hour week before builders and opera
tors, and were refused. Thursday
night at a special meeting the union
went on record for an immediate
strike unless this demand was grant
ed. Officials of the operators stated
today that word had come that sup
port of their stand against increases
General Contractors of America in
this city and by the local Master
Builders Association. The associated
contractors, 1t was said, decided
against the increase at a meeting
last night and the master builders
have not yet held meeting, although
indications that they would refuse a
raise were given.
Report Men mt Work.
According to advices received by some
of the leading builders a number of
union men have left the ranks of their
organization and taken jobs at the pre-
vailing scale. This report is denied.
however. by union men.
Possibilities for tying up building con-
struction in Washington hinge on the
question as to whether other building
trades will support the plasterers in
their strike or whether they will allow
non-uniOn plastererS to work on the
same jobs on which they do work also.
1t is expected that an effort to settle
the difficulties will be made during the
early part of next week by Mr.. Colpoys.

September changes in the crop
prospects I'm Montana, while in
some respects mixed, were quite
favorable, especially in the case
of the more important crops, ac-
cording 10 the October crop report
issued by j. q. Diamond, agricul-
turaI statistician for the Montana
cooperative crop reporting service.
A spring wheat crop somewhat In
excess OF the earlier estimates due
to generally favorable harvest con-
ditions, has brought the total
wheat crop up TO 81 1927 900 BUSH
els, the largest in the history of
Montana, the report states, while
increases are also noted in the
forecasts for barley and apples.
On the other hand the report shows
moderate declines In corn, potatoes
and oats with but nomainl changes
in the outlook for other crops. The
report in part is as follows:
The States Largest Wheat Crop
The average yield of spring wheat
for the state is placed at 1915 bush
els, as compared with 143 for the
1923 crop and 10.5 bushels for the
five-year average (1919-23). On the
basis of the June acreage estimate OF
2,737.O00 acres, 1924 production is
now estimated at 42,423,000 bush
els in 1928 and 30.909,000 bushels
in the 1928 average. Included IN
the estimate of spring wheat this
year is 1,419,000 bushels of Durum
wheat grown on an estimated acre
age of $4,000 acres. The October
estimate OF spring wheat produc.
tion is somewhat In excess of the
September forecast due to the gen.
orally favorable harvest conditions
In general the crop yielded best in

Wassweiler, q native of Germany,

parents when he was but 10 years

time in Milwaukee. He started pi-

1860 when he became wagon boss
In the United States army and was

at the bottom of a 50-foot hole
by the intelligence of his dog. Fred

hospital by bis brother, Arvid,
who had pulled him from the abb

brother was lying, nearly uncon-

The accident occurred at two

creek valley, went to round up the
animals which had become brighten
ed at something near the feeding
ground.
AS he stumbled over the ground

opening of a fifty-foot mine shaft
abandoned years ago. In the fall

found himself unable to speak above
a whisper, so rapidly had his face
and throat swollen.
Meanwhile his brother, Arvid
who was asleep in the tent, was aw.
akened by the dog, who ran to the
bunk and tried to pull the bed clothes
from the sleeping man. Thinking
the dog wanted to play, Arvid turned
over and tried to go back to sleep.
The dog then left the tent, Arvid
says, and going to the place where
the horses were grazing, began bark
