PJTTSBJRGHS BLUE LAW

James M. Clarke the director of public safety in Pittsburgh, either wants to stir up sentiment in favor of repeating the blue laws of 1794, or else he wishes to let the public know how powerful q director of public safety can get.
 It would appear from the things to be "'verbotten" in Pittsburgh that Sunday automobile riding will not be included, although it will be illegal 10 sell or buy gasoline ou the Sabbath.
 If the people don't like the blue laws they can have them repealed, says the director. But that is easier said than done. Connecticut also has bcvy of very blue laws which nobody likes and which are never repealed.

POINTS LEARNED

The coming flight Of the dirigi- ble Los Angeles to Detroit will be entirely for military purposes, it is announced purpose that Is en- tirely justified, no doubt, in order 10 keep the officers and crew tuned up.
 But there will be no acceptance of invitations from interior cities to extend the flight in order to exhi- bit the ship.
 And the date of the flight will be left entirely to the commander, Lieut.. Charles F.. Rosendahl.
 This much the navy department has learned since the disastrous flight of the Shenandoah a year ago.

VARIOUS MINE DISTRICTS
 WILL VOTE ON MEASURE
British Miners Not Acting Hastily
 On Calling Out Of safety

London, Oct. s P-The miners delegate conference today decided 10 refer the South Wales resolution which called the safety workers out of the mines, to the various districts for ratification. Withdrawal of the 'safeties" in support of the striking miners would lead to the flooding of many of the coal pits and other ser ious damage, as these men operate the pumps and otherwise care for the pits during the miners absence. There was something of q sensation in the conference this morning when George A. Spencer. laborite and Not tinghamshire mine leader, who ne- gotiated the pit settlements and ar ranged for the men to return to work in that area was summoned to explain his position.
 He gave lengthy explanation but was suspended. Several other Not

 The system Of state tax upon gasoline Is equitable from one standpoint. but not so from an- other. The feature regarding which complaint Is justified concerns the fact that the state receives all the fees, so that innumerable gasoline vehicles, which are used mostly upon city or town streets, yield nothing to those cities or towns from the tax. An equitable change would be for the state to apportion part Of the gasoline tax money to the various cities and town pro rata, which would help them ma terially in paying for the urkeep of their streets.
 The next Legislature, 1t Is said, will make change In the auto tax system, and might well include a change In the gasoline tax meth cd by which cities and towns would get a portion of the fees for street maintenance within their borders. The large number Of cars which utilize city streets most Of the time would justify such change in the law.

JEFFERSON CASE
 STILL DUBIOUS
Defense Claims Support of Kid
 mapping Story

Los Angeles, Oct. S.-lPl- More desert lore remained today for those recording the details of the Aimee Semple McPherson Kidnapping story of the preliminary hearing of the Angelus Temple pastor and her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy. on charges of conspiracy.
 Interest in the evangelist's story of having escaped from a kidnaper's hut has been increased by reports that a ranch house resembling the shack described by her as the one in which she was held captive during a part of the 36 days she was mys- teriously missing, has been located near Wellton, Arizona.
 Two persons fitting into Mrs. Me Pherson's story as Rose" and Steve, her alleged abductors, are said to have been found on the Wellton ranch. The discoveries were reported in press dispatches last night from Yuma, Arizona, and credited to Jack Chriss. an investi- gator for District Attorney Aska Reyes.
 The Arizona report is secuted by Reyes, who says that Chriss had been sent to Gila Bend. solely on an investigation of a telegram filed there by a woman, who, according 10 the operator, resembled Mrs. Me- Pherson. The message was sent June IS, eight days before the evangelist reappcared at Douglas. Reyes sug- gested that the investigator probably was Kidding some one.'
 Alonzo E. Murchison, Douglas police officer, and desert trailer, who occupied the witness box throughout yesterdays hearing, was subjected to q merciless grilling yes tcrday by W. D. Gilbert, defense at torney. He was required 10 draw a map of the country over which he secured. and was able to indicate the many shacks and novels he came across in his search.
 Murchison testified that he had not visited a shack at San Juan Springs, located about 20 miles from Agua Priet, Mexico. Gilherts questioning left influence that this was the one from which the evangelist escaped. Murchison ex- plained the reason for his omission by saying that Mrs. McPherson, who accompanied him on several of his searches. had disclaimed any familiarity with the country lead ing to the San Juan Spring hut,
 As the eighth day of the hearing ended Keys detectives continued 10 search for Kenneth c. Ormiston' former radio operator at Angelus Temple, who the state charges ald- cd Mrs. McPherson in manufactur- ing evidence. The officers last night were reported to have secured more documentary evidence extended to prove that Ormiston and the evan geIist were registered in separate rooms at q hotel here the day she disappeared.

cotton fabrics Is high.

@SINNH ~"SA'SS 70 %"'c '''
 Cotton Is selling at around IS cents a pound, whereas 1t costs in the netghborhood Of IT to IS cents to produce 1t. Even at 13 cents the value of the American cotton crop this year will be more than one billion dollars. and represents quarter Of the nations agricultural wealth. Fully 4S,000,OoO acres this year have been planted to cotton. This vast acreage. therefore, Is producing a crop that will not pay for the cost Of production.
 If cotton goes to ten cents, as some observers claim 1t will, south ern banks will be hard pressed, as cotton Is largely grown on credit furnished by the banks. The uneI- ampled prosperity that has been feature of southern growth in re- cent years naturally will receive 8 serious check. Unfortunately, the prosperity of other sections of the country likewise will be seriously affected. The government plan to set aside ,3o,00o,ooo for the use of cooperative associations in the south ought 10 be a firm factor in tiding over hard pressed planters until better days arrive.
 Tn back of the cotton debackle stands the foresight of the British cotton industry. which for years has been bringing about the cult- vation Of large areas 10 cotton in Egypt. This has been done by building vast dams along the tribu- taries of the Nile, and the irriga- ton of millions Of acres Of land which formerly were given over largely to sand. It is In order to enhance this mighty cotton empire being developed in Egypt that the British government wishes water rights In Abyssinia. England has heretofore been America's greatest cotton customer. If she is going to produce d large part Of her own cotton the effect upon American cotton cannot be any different than what is now being experi- cnced. England has been in the same position regards our cotton as we are with respect to British rubber, with the difference that England get about to cultivate what she needs, while we are still i in doubt as to what 10 do.
 The charge that New England mills have been conspiring 10 de- press the southern cotton market received a strong denial by John s. Lawrence, head of the New Eng land Council. Such charges can only be the talk of dema gogs. AL though, down 10 a certain point, low cotton prices are an advantage 10 New England textile manufac- turers.

PLUMBING CODE WR.ANGLING

The gentlemen In and out or the citv hall who have been III at ease over the plumbing code, and who have denatured a new code until it's local sponsor has thrown up the sponge, have been sincere and ought to be credited with knowing what they were about. The con troversy Is one. however, in which a lavman is entirely at sea, this on account of It's technical features.
 Earle K. Bishop, who drew up the new code and has been iden- tified with the various changes sug- gested therein, says he has found this city to be too conservative for the new dispensation reflected in inc plumbing ideas he has sought to bring here. Perhaps he is correct in his analysis. Being conservative, however is not necessarily an evil; it Is only when a conservative is so scared of progress that he walks backwards that he is injuring him. self. The city, of course, is far from being quite that conservative; but from the looks of things it is not going to adopt new plumbing regulations, whether they come from Secretary Hoover's plumbing board or anywhere else, without watching it's step like nervous man climbing q mountain ledge.
 This may be well, and it may not be: frankly, we do not know. We have read the arguments pro and con in this plumbing situation and 1t seems that much of an opinionated nature holds sway on both sides. But the local gentlemen who oppose the more radical changes have the upper hand, the trump cards; they are for the most part personally well known and have reasonable influence, Hence from the start 1t was unlikely that any changes that met with their overwhelming disapproval would get very far if they could prevent it. And they may be entirely right in their diagnosis, too, although MT. Bishop is sure they are not.
 To the average citizen the con- troversy hos been one 10 elicit wonder that the plumbing business could produce so many points for controversy. He has been interested to learn whether his interests would be vitally affected and learned with some indignation that the plumbing fees were to bc ar, ranged on flat basis. This Was q mistake, no doubt, and was speed fly rec,iffcd when complaints were received We now arc to have a sliding scale. so that q small job will pay a small fee and the larger jobs in accordance with their size. IL must be said 10 the credit of the opponents Of the plumbing code that they were instrumental in bringing this matter forccfully to ihe attention Of the public. and one Of the methods was 10 assess the fees on bills. When the plumbing customers saw these fees loom the repercu-sion was just what could have bern expected.
 It is entirely likely that the city, whether it can be termed conserva- tive or whether it merits inclusion in those wiling 10 try new plans will be ahte 10 worry along II everything that the city engages in took as long 10 settle as the plumb ing coda, and cngcndcrcd as much acrimony, v'ry little business would g.t done. It is time the mat l'r were sriloI Those identified vth the code may be tired Of vrunEIing about it. which is mai ural; but they are no more weary than inc public generally.
