LOWDEN COLORS
OF INTEREST TO
WESTERN GROUP
Nye Says Illinois Man Not
Yet Acceptable to
PrOgressiyesp

WASHINGTON Oct. 18, R-Frank
o. Lowden must show his colors in
the Republican presidential race be-
fore the newly organized group of
western Republican senators passes
on his candidacy, it was asserted to-
night by Senator Nye, of North Da-
kota, one of its members, in a speech
before the Washington Chamber of
Commerce.
Although leaving the door open
for acceptance of LoWden as the
candidate of the Westerners, Senator
Nye reiterated that he favored Sen
ator Norris of Nebraska, the tenta-
tive choice Of the. insurgent organ
ization, for the republican nonina-
ton.
Senator Nye expressed regret that
the movement of Senator Norris or
Senator Borah had been construed
ass in opposition to Lowden or an
attempt to embarraSs his candidacy
which, he said, already has shown
strength But he declared that the
interests of the west and of agri-
culture involve more than the mere
enactment into law of the McNary-
Haugen farm bill' which has been
favored by Mr.. Lowden.
There are such problems as those
involving freight rates, discrimination
in freight rates, inland waterway
improvements, permanent improve
ments growing out of any flood con-
troll program, conduct of the federal
reserve banking system. The admins
tration of the federal farm land
bank all of these problems bearing
directly upon the measure of pros
perity which may accrue to the ag-
ricultural states. Then, too, there
are great national problems in which
the west is vastly interested.
upon these problems the whole
west knows well the position of one
like Senator Norris, but it does not
yet fully know the position of Cover

NIANAGUA, Mic. Oct. 18 R1-
1 American marines and Nicaraguan
constabulary in search Of the missing
marine corps aviators, Second Lieut..
E. A. Thomas and Sergeant Frank E.
Dowdell, have been in battle with
bandit contingents, killing or wound
ing 81 of them.
/ -Four members of the constabulary
were killed, but there were no casual
ties among the marines.
| A contingent of 600 conStabulary
is being formed to be dispatched
against General Sandino, whose act
ivities are increasing in Nueva
ISegovia 1t was near Quilali in this
department that the machine in
which Thomas and Dowdell were
flying some weeks ago crashed -Srd
was burned. The two men were
seen to run from the Wreckage, but
attempts to rescue them were frus-
trated by large numbers OF bandits.
Lieut.. George ]. ]. O'Shea, y. s.
marine corps, commanding q con-
stabulary detachment at Jicaro, with
Lieut.. j. B. O'Neil, U. S. navy, sends
report of q forced march to Quilali
in search of Lieut.. Thomas and
Sergeant Dowdell with joint forces
of 40 marines and constabulary, on
account of the long distance from
Jicaro the report has been delayed.
1t tells of terrific fighting between
the bandits and marines, when the
rescuing patrol of 40 was suddenly
attacked by bandits numbering 300
from three sides.
Heavy execution was inflicted on
the bandits by several of the marines
in individual engagements and Lieut.
O'Shea's life was saved by Private
Kenneth Struck by his killing of
bandit at close quarters.
The report just received tells of
the expedition which went imme-
diately in search of the missing
American aviators after they had
presumably been carried off by the
bandits.
'"The PATROL early in the morning
of September 9, advancing cautiously
in the vicinity of the crashed plane

northwest of Quilali was suddenly
attacked from three sides by bandit
force of 300, we'll armed and with

"The patrol fought courageously
against the superior numbers but
was forced to withdraw and fight its
way to the rear. Lieut.. ONeil and
Private Henry Mckenzie at the rear
effectively used hand grenades and
automatic rifles, killing seven, among
them bandit leader, Mayorgu
"Lieut, O'Shea, leading the advance

brush, killed several bandits heavily

!AYIATORSSTAKE
Lives TO Save
STRICKEN Child
Infantile Paralysis Serum
Rushed from Los Angeles
to Phoenix.

PHOENIX, Oct. 18 Up - Plunging
into the darkness against a head wind
two aviators Sstaked their lives tonight
against that OF sick child and fought
their way 10 a forced desert landing,
north of this city, stIli carrying a
sample Of serum for inoculation against
infantile paralysis,
They were Lieut. W. K Burgess in
command at Glover field, Los Angeles,
and F. w. Brown, civil service me-
chanician. With gasoline for only five
more minutes of flight, they landed
at 7:30 p. m. one mile north of a canal
and two miles from the center of the
city. In the gathering gloom they had
missed the Phoenix landing field COM
pletely and were fortunate to set the
ship down without either damage to
their plane or injury to themselves.
''The first we knew of all this said
Lieutenant Burgess upon his arrival
into the city in police car, "was
when Glover field was asked by the
Los Angeles held department at 1870
o'clock this morning if we could make
a rush flight to phoenix with serum
OF course we answered yes"
Reports that request for serum to
fight off purported spread of in
fantile paralysis in Phoenix or nearby
towns had been prevalent here since
mid-afternoon. The reports were en-
phatically denied by city, county and
state health authorities, and until it
was known that the airplane piloted
by Burgess was seeking a landing
place after dark no definite source Of
the order was learned.
DR.. Harry Carson, Phoenix physi-
clan, notified city police authorities
that he was expecting a sample OF
serum and that he feared the plane
flying above the city was that bearing
the serum.
'.We have had only few cases OF
infantile paralysis since the beginning
of the year, and nothing resembling
an epidemic, either nor in the past"
DR.. F. T. Fahlen, state health officer,
said tonight. The official report of
the state board of health made Mon

the cases were reported from Maricopa

phasizing Claims.

Twelve Douglas organizations, indiv-
iduals and corporations have sent tele-
grams to w. Irving Glover, second
assistant postmaster general, urging
the establishment of new air mail
route between Dallas and Los An
geles, by way of this iity.

ference at which delegates from Los
Angeles, Dallas, FL Paso, Phoenix and
Tucson will appear in washington to
argue for the proposed route. The
Douglas messages were sent Monday
night and yesterday in order that they
might be in Glover's hands when the
conference opens.
The messages were sent by the new
ly-formed local chapter of the Nation
al Aeronautical association, the Doug
las Chamber of Commerce and Mines,

The kilograms point out the indus
trial and mineral wealth of the Doug
las district, citing population and other
figures to support its claim for place
on the proposed air route.
, The DallaS-LoS Angeles route would
connect on the east with the Dallas
Chicago route and on the west with
the coast route, both of which hook
up with the only existing trans-con-
tinental air mail routes. AS visualized
by local supporters the new route would

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (R)-A series
OF reports Just made to President Cool
idge by cabinet officers ON the busi-
ness conditions of the country have
convinced him that the outlook for
the future indicates continuance of
the same state of affairs.
A survey. of the economic resources
Of the nation was included in the data
which confirmed the presidents opin-
ion.
Secretary Mellon, on behalf of the
treasury, was able to assure the preSi-
dent that the monetary, situation was
entirely sound. and that adequate
credit was available in every field for
the maintenance of enterprise,
From the agricultural department
a whole series of indications, it was
said, built UP conclusion that the
buying power of the agricultural pro-
ducer generally, this season had been
materially increased in comparison
with conditions of recent years. Cat
tie prices were making high records,
the president was told, the wheat out
put and price alike were better; and
corn producers, with somewhat
lesser price than last year, were real
izing a larger crop.
In the south short cotton crop had
been somewhat compensated for by
higher prices, the president was IN
formed.
In the industrial field, the president
was advised by Secretary Hoover that
American exports were reaching new
high levels, and that they were most
substantial though the dollar volume

fact. the decreased price of rubber.
Secretary Davis of the labor depart

was added that the settlement OF the
coal difficulty in part during recent
weeks had terminated the most an
noying of, the present day labor con-
troversies.
AS to employment in general, the
labor secretary was said to have m
dicated better outlook throughout
the country this fall. The president
was told that there were special rea-
sons for an expectation for increased
automobile output during the next
year.
While some industries, as is always
the case, have failed to share the cur
rent prosperity realized by the country
in general, the president was repre-
sented as feeling that from ma
tional view there was no unfavorable
outlook about business in the future.

PARIS, Oct. 1S lP-Facing the
red and black rObed judges and

Assizes, Samuel Schwartzbard,
blonde Russian matchmaker, to-
day exultantly told his story of
how he determinedly tracked
down General Simon Petlura and
cold bIOOdedly slew him to avenge
the deaths of thousands of Jews
slain in pOgrOms he believed were
instigated by his victim.
Shocked by the story the 81
year old matchmaker told with
cleaning eyes and hysterical
grimaces, the 400 courtroom spec

waiting for the moment when
he might kill the man he con-

Many who watched him tell
