Stock Market Reacts But
Slightly to News of the
Judges Death.
HEART DISEASE
Doctors Diagnose Cause of
Death as Chronic Myo-
carditis.

NEW YORK, Aug. Is, R-Elbert
H. Gary, chairman of the board Of
directors of the United States Steel
corporation-an as such the virtual
head of the American steel industry
and figure of the greatest import
ance in the American economic world
died in his Fifth Avenue home at
$40 o'clock this morning. He was
approaching his eighty-firSt birth
day
He had been in i'll health for six
weeks, but the seriousness of his
condition had reached the publics
ears only in vague rumorS and so his
death caught the country by sur
prise.
Yet the stock market, Of which
United States steel is one of the most
influential leaders and has been for
many years, reacted to the news
very slightly.
The announcement of his death was
not made public until few minutes
before II o'clock.
The market had opened with
steel at ,131 IL. Somehow the word
had circulated through the street
that Mr.. Gary had died during the
night. There was no confirmation.
The price of steel edged downward
l 3-8 points Then this priee an
nouncement was made by the steel
corporation:
Gilbert H. Gary died at $40 a. m.
From Chronic Myocarditis."
(Chronic Myocarditis is an in
flanmation Of the muscular part of
the wall of the hearth
The market slurnped briefly but
steel, long a leader on the board soon
rose slightly above it's opening price.
At the last quarterly meeting of
the steel corporation directorate
July 25, Mr.. Gary was absent. It was
announced then that he had suffer-
ed "a slight attack of nervous in
digestion"
When Mr.. Gary died two doctors
and a nurse who have been on con-
stant attendance were with him. Mrs.
Gary, who has been the only person
other than attendants who had been
permitted to visit him since the re-
lapse, was not in the room at the
time.

was confirmed, the four story brick

SACCO'S HUNGER
STRIKE HALTED
BY PHYSICIAN
Rather Than Submit to
Force Feeding, Prisoner
Agrees to Eat

BOSTON, Aug. Is QP)-Nicola Sacco's
second hunger strike ended today. Four
years ago after he had tasted for 81
days in the Dedham Jail he was forci-
bly fed and thereafter ate what was
set before him. Today q threat of
immediate forcible feeding made him
capitulate after he had refused break
fast on the 30th day of his strike in
the state prison, and he drank quart
of beef tea.
Sacco, who with Bartolomeo Van1ettl
last week was given a respite until
midnight of August % for execution
for murder, had insisted on refraining
from food as protest against the
manner in which his case had been
investigated by Governor Fuller. Van
zetti joined in the fast for few days
at time but definitely abandoned 1t
after receiving word of the respite.
It was after Sacco's wife and one OF
his attorneys, Michael A. Musmanno,
visiting the prisoner in the prison bar
Der shop had vainly pleaded with
him to abandon his hunger strike that
DR.. Joseph I. Mclaughlin, prison ply
sician, took hand.
ST told Sacco,' DR.. Mclaughlin said
in describing the scene, that the time
for forcible feeding had arrived. I
said to him, do you realize that am
stronger than you are?' He said, all
right, doctor, if you say so, there is
nothing else for me to do but eat +"
To this attorney Musmanno added:
cdr. Mclaughlin, upon reaching
Sacco, announced that he had brought
the instruments for the forcible feed
ing and took hold of Sacco by the
nose After further talk, in which we
all urged Sacco to accept nourish-
ment, he finally agreed to break his
hunger strike"
81 hope this will not interfere with
the success of the ease," Sacco said,
or words to that effect, and started to
sip the beef tea. It was too hot, how
ever, and he had to wait until it cool
ed While waiting he turned to his
wife and said: We'll, Rose, hope this
will satisfy you now To this Mrs
Sacco replied, you know I have been
asking you to eat right along"

sell, completed today the brief which

DESSAU, Germany, Aug. Is No-
Beaten, but still grimly determined
to conquer the Atlantic, the four
sturdy German airmen who hopped
eff from DeSsau late yesterday after
noon in an attempt to- achieve first
honors for a westward air passage,
tonight were back at their starting
point after defying storm and light
ming in an effort to reach their goal
The pilots. Herman Koehle and
Friederich Loose, after nerve
and fog which carried them beyond
wrecking % hour battle with storm
the west coast OF Ireland, dropped
in on Dessau in their monoplane,
Bremen almost unobserved at a time
when hope was still high that they
were speeding across the Atlantic
to the American coast.
At almost the same hour, their
flying comrades Cornelius Edzard ana
Johann Risticz of the monoplane
Europa, which only recently shat
tered the endurance flight record,
arrived at DeSsau from Bremen where
they had been forced to land late
last night after losing fight OF
nearly five hours with North Sea
storms and fogs.
The Bremen landed at Dessau at
4:30 o'clock this afternoon, the de-
scent being made successfully and
without damage to the plane despite
her heavy load of gasoline and the
plane was returned to the JunkerS
airdrome intact Her sister plane,
the Europa, which was forced to

ing damaged when the tail OF the
machine went into a ditch.
The Europa today was being dis
mantied at the Bremen airdrome,
experts expressing the opinion it
would take several weeks before she
could be put into condition. 1t was
a strange mingling of satisfaction.
ard disappointment that permeated
the scene at DesSau, which less thar
| % hours before had been animated
| by the flutter of thousands of hand
kerchiefS as spectators waved fare
well to the aspirants for the trans
Atlantic flight honors.
"It was a stormy fog-ridden night, y
Koehl told a correspondent for the
Associated Press. "The winds Just
about toyed with us, lifting our plane
then pushing it down until at times
we barely skirted the tree tops. Twice
the Bremen got out OF control, al.
though the motor functioned per-
fectly Because of the divergence OF
cur route and the fact that our battle
with the winds forced us to use uE
our fuel at an excessive rate, We
resolved to return after having ne
gotiated the west coast of Ireland
! We headed south by southeaSterly
Skirting London, crossing the channe
from Dover to Calais, and then pro-
ceeded by way Of Antwerp and Wese
to Dessau."
Koehl said he and his companion
Loose, avoided big cities on the re,
turn flight, fact which accounted
for the complete lack of news con.
cerning the Bremen's whereabouts
from the time she was sighted ovel
Ireland this morning. Even Professor
Junkers did not suspect their return

of Chicago, chairman Of the house
appropriations committee, and of the
subcommittee, said he favored an
American merchant fleet as large as
that of any other nation in order

Calling Cows at Fair
To Find a Champion

Calling cows will vie with the
horse races as an attraction at the
Redwood County Fair, to be held on
September 26 to 80. This novel con-
test of Turing bovines "homeward"
with the aid of the human voice will
be brand new feature of the Fair
this year, and is aimed to find the
best cow calling in this section of
the state. The champion caller will
be rewarded by the gift of hand
some, old-fashioned cow bell, which
will be donated to the winner of the
contest by the Blue Valley Creamery
Institute.
Every man, woman or child who
has ever called cow and got her to
come or thinks that he can call a cow
successfully, is eligible to take part
in the contest. Already a number
of farmers have indicated that they
will take part in the contest, and a
