RIFFIANS BOMBED
BY FRENCH FLYERS
800 Killed and Wounded Dur
ing Raid on Market.

Paris.-In a bombing raid against an
open market along the Ouergha river,
where 1000 Riffians were buying and
selling provisions and animals, a
French air squadron with 5000 pounds
of bombs killed and wounded 800 Riff
fans.
France and Spain signed an agree
ment at Madrid to conduct combined
land blockade of the Moroccan rebel
zone. The agreement supplements the
sea blockade accord signed recently.
Louis Malvy, head of the French
delegation, announced that a third ac-
cord, providing for French and Span
ish political cooperation in Morocco,
and considered the most important of
the entire conference, would be signed.
Spanish forces, assisted by aerial
squadrons, have stormed the heights
of Benz Ambran, dislodging the tribes
men from this strategic point of van
tage. Following their success the
Spaniards returned to their base after
establishing the new positions on the
heights.
On attaining the heights the Span
iards found four rebel dead, but they
believe many more were killed and
fell into the deep ravines.

Another Chicago Rum Gang
Leader Is Shot to Death

Chicago.-Death by violence-bullets
was the fate of another of the Gen
ma brothers, contraband alcohol mag
mates, the third to be killed in two
months.
This time 1t was Tony Genna. A
few weeks ago it was Mike Genna.
Angelo Genna's life of violence ter
minated suddenly on May 20.
Tony's death left only three of the
brothers alive, Sam, Peter, and Jim.
Sam was fearful of his own life and
asked and obtained a police escort.
Jim is supposed to be in Europe. Peter
is in hiding.
As motives for the crime, the po-
lice had their choice of two theories
1. That the makers, dealers and dis
tributors of alcohol had rebeIled
against the rule of the Gennas, and,
in deciding to do business for them
selves, had decided that the Gennas
should die.
2. That the shooting was another
act of reprisal for the murder Of
Dean O'Banion eight months ago,
which was done by Italians.
Two months ago the Genna broth
ers were the undisputed bosses of both
the supply and demand of alcohol

SEES LARGE CORN
YIELD FOR 1925
Washington Predicts $685.
100000 Bu.-Fruit
Hard Hit.

Observation-Disclosures of an enor-
nous corn crop, probably the third
largest ever grown, slight improve
ment in prospects for wheat, predic-
ton Of the smallest potato produc-
lion since 1919, and unfavorable fruit
forecasts were set forth in the July
report issued by the Department Of
Agriculture
With higher condition than the
ten-year average and an acreage 1.5
per cent larger than last years, corn
production was forecast at 1906, 000,-
BOO bushels, or 65O,0OO.O00 bushels
more than last year.
Among the causes listed for the
large increase were the high price of
corn and tendency to increase feed
crops for live stock.
Wheat prospects increased 19,0O0,-
900 bushels during June, a forecast
Of 6SO,OO0,000 bushels now being made
for this season. Winter wheat lost
100000 bushels during the month, but
spring wheat prospects increased 22,-
100000 bushels.
Production OF wheat in eleven coun-
tries of the northern hemisphere, in
Guiding the United States, which pro-
duce normally SO per cent of the north
ern hemisphere crop and 81 per cent
of the world crop outside Russia and
China, was estimated, on the basis Of
latest advices to the department at
l,56S,000,O0O bushels, or 124.0QO,00O
bushels less than last year.
Indicated production of potatoes
was 350,000,00O bushels, which would
be 105,0O0,00o less than the large crop
of last year.
The season has been unfavorable for
fruit production throughout most of
the country, except on the Pacific
coast.
The total apple crop was forecast
at 157,000,000 bushels or 22,O00.000
less than last year.
Production Of barley, rice, sweet
potatoes, tobacco and peanuts prom
ised to be larger than last year, but
smaller crops of oats, rye, flaxseed
and hay were indicated.

LANDED BEFORE COLUMBUS
Every Reason to Believe That Lief
Ericsson Was Real "Discoverer"
of America.

Who may have been the first dis
coverer of America no one knows, but
Left Ericsson visited it over 400 years
ahead of Columbus A recent writer
on this matter has said: 1.-THE evil
dence that Lief Ericsson came TO the
North American coast in the year
1000 and that he returned to Europe
making his discovery known to the
world, is clearly authentic" Ericsson
is defended against the charge of be-
Ing a "barbarous Morse adventurer,"
though he might have been all that,
and also the discOverer of America. 1t
is maintained that he represented the
highest type of the Scandinavian CIV
ilization of that time which had risen
above the decadent Roman culture of
southern Europe. The Sagas say that
Ericsson was large, powerful man of
most imposing bearing, "a man Of
sagacity and just in all things" Be
fore his discovery of America he had
been converted to the Christian faith,
and had been commissioned by King
Olaf to proclaim the faith to the people
of Greenland, which the Scandinavians
had settled a considerable period be-
fore that time. 1t is quite reasonable
to believe that the Norsemen who had
settled in Greenland had made voy-
ages to America in advance of Erics-
