Natural Result Of Excessive
Speculation, Treasury
Secretary Says

Washington, March !. (P)- The
break in the stock market is not re-
garded with alarm by Secretary Mel
lon, who believes it is the natural
result Of excessive speculation.
The secretary's views. outlined to-
day at the treasury, are that the re-
action will have wholesome effect
and that fundamental business condi-
tions and prosperity will not be dis
turbed. He regards the slump as an
inevitable evening up process. feel
ing that where prices run to ex-
tremes, setbacks are in order.
Slumps and booms follow each
other, the secretary holds, until a
normal position is found. In all per-

pOrary setbacks are natural. The
present fluctuations in the stock mar
kets, he believes, might be regarded
as more extreme because of the larger
volume of speculation. hut he does

transporting modern machinery to
Dhasa, the "holy' city" in the "Land
OF the Lamas," is reported to have
been massacred.
At an altitude of $4,000 feet in a

have been overwhelmed by rcprcscn-
tatives of the new Tibctan govern
ment and murdered. Some 800 tons
OF electrical equipment, which was to
have been used in lighting the "for-
bldden city" was thrown over a prcc-
ipice. The report. printed by the
Daily Mail. says the machinery, which
was manufactured in England, would
have been the first Of its kind admit
ted into Lhasa. the capital of the
Dalai Lama, the supreme head of the
Lamaist hierarchy. He is surrounded
by his famous fighting monks" who
arc fanatically resentful Of western
innovations as threatening their
power. Lhasa is virtually closed
city to Christians.

ne notorious Jealousy OF foreign
intrusion into the ''forbidden city"

in place should be entrusted to Tib-
etans. Accordingly. young Tibctan
named Ringang. a relative o. the
Dalai Lama. VINO was educated in Eng
land as an engineer, was given the
task.
As the story goes, Ringang. with
the machinery on the backs Of mules
and camels. started Oh the Journey
and reached a point 400 miles from
Calimpong. Bengal. Nothing was
heard Of him and his party after
wards except from agents sent from
Calcutta and Bombay. who reported
that disaster had befallon the expedi-
tipn high up in the Himalayan pass.

SAWS BAR AT
COUNTY JAIL
Preparations For Jail Dcliy.
cry Abruptly Halted by
Sheriff HedStrOm

Preparations for an atte mptcd iail
break at the Burleieh county jail
were halted abruptly this forenoon
when Sheriff Albin Hcdstrom and
Deputy Sheriff Ted Hedstrom made
stealthy approach to the second
floor of the Jail and caught Day D.
Zalla OF Dickinson almost in the act
of saving in two one Of the half-inch
bars across an outside window.
Zaila has been in the county Jail
here since February 10. when he was
arrested on charge Of grand lar
ceny after he was apprehendcd here
with three horses, wagon and a
load Of flax in his possession, all Of
which is alleged to have been stolen.
His bonds were fixed at $1,000. which
he was unable to furnish.
Caught in the Act
Sheriff Hedstrom last night heard
noise in the upper cell room as If
someone was tampering with tho
bars, but upon investigating found
nothing out of the way. During the
middle Of the forenoon today. Mrs.
Hedstrom informed her husband that
she had again heard the peculiar
noise. The sheriff and his deputy
entered the upper cell room through
two secret entrances and as they did
so Zaila ran down the. corridor away
from the window. At the same time
he threw some object onto the top
of the tier Of cells. This was found
to be safety razor blade, with
notehes hacked into the edges to
form saw. Iaila still had pieces Of
cloth wrapped about his fingers,
which he had used apparently to keep
the blade from injuring his hands.
Inspection of the window bars re
vealed the fact that one had been al
most sawed in two. Before it would
have been possible for Il man to get
out in that way. however, it would
have been necessary to saw at least
two more bars. Near this particular
window. on the outside Of the wall,
a lightning rod cable runs from the
roof to the ground, which would have
made it easy for a prisoner to get
down to the ground after once get
ting through the bars.
Zaila Denies Attempt
There are at present only 10 pris-
Oncrs in the county Jail. seven IN
the mems ward and three in the wo-
mems section. The men arc allowed
the freedom of their Jail corridor
during the daytime and because Of
this Zaila had the opportunity to work
on one Of the outside bars None Of
the other prisoners would admit any
Of Zaila's operations. and
he himself denied the whole affair,
even in the face Of the evidence
against him.
Although several attempts have
been made by prisoners to break out
Of the Burlcigh county Jail, none has
ever been successful, so far as Sher-
if Hcdstrom can recall.

House Agriculture Committee
Opens Hearings on a Score
Of Bills Designed to Aid
Agriculture - Thomas c..
eastman of Owatonna
First Witness

Washington. March A. LP) Mid
dlewestcrn farmers brought their
case before the house agriculture
committee today when hearings were
opened on a score Of bills designed
to aid agriculture.
Producers of l states were rep
resented by Il committee of 90 ap-
pointed 1T the farm relief conference
in Des Moincs.
The first witness, Thomas G. Cash
man Of Owatonna. Mimi, represent
ing the American council Of agricul-
ture, declared farmers had struggled
for nearly six years to protect their
occupation and business from TAB
solutc ruin"
The cause Of the difficulty, he
said, lies in the exchange value Of
important farm commodities, which
is so low as to result in sharply re-
duced values Of agricultural prop
crty.
"In general" Mr.. eastman said,
Organization and legislation have
operated to uphold prices for the
goods and services Of non-farm in
dustrics and occupations, while the
full force Of dcflatiOn worked un-
hindercd on agriculture because of
the lack of effective protection and
organization.
Industry Given Protection
Farmers bluntly say that one of
the chief causes of the price dis
parity has been effective protection
for industry and labor, while the
farmers can get only the world price
for agricultural products. of which
they must export the surplus
Effective legislation, Mr.. Cash
man said, must enable farmers to
control the marketing of their SUR
plus crops. He outlined n plan SIM
liar to that contained in the Dickin-
son hill as one which should be put
into effect.
Governor Hammill Of Iowa, the
next witness, indorsed the same gen.
cral scheme of relief. but he declar-
ed agriculture is not asking any pa
ternalsm."
