CROP OUTLOOK
NOT PROMISING
REPORT STATES
ny United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, July IL The
agriculture department announced
today crop prospects, as a whole,
are far from promising this year.
The present outlook is for the
shortest corn crop in 20 years; for
a very short fruit crop; for a ma
terial reduction in tobacco produc-
ton; for about average production
of potatoes. wheat, sugar beets, flax
seed and feed grains other than
corn.
Large crops of beans, peanuts
and sweet potatoes and a record hay
production were predicted.
The department said crop pros
poets are fairly good in the western
states, but very unpromising in the
eastern part of the corn belt.
The area planted this season is
reduced around 100000. acres less
than, or two percent below, the ave-
rage planted at this time last year.
Most of the reduction has occurred
in the Mississippi flood section. The
largest changes were 6,O0O,O0O acres
decrease in cotton, 100000 in corn
and 100000 increase in wheat.

RIDING AGAIN
FOR PRESIDENT
Historic Means Used To
Bring Invitation From
Wyoming.
BY PAUL K. MALLOT
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent


RAPID CITY, S. D., July IL
The pony express rode again today
for President Coolidge.
Reviving days of the past when
pony riders carried mail from Oma-
ha to the Pacific Coast, Butch Bell
started out from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
this morning on his horse "Frank
Emerson, to bring to the Presi-
dent an invitation to 90 to the
Frontier Days Celebration or visit
Wyoming at any convenient time.
Twenty seven riders were lined
up along the 300 mile trail to carry
the invitation to the President.
They are due to arrive at the sum.
mer White House at 1880 p. IN. to-
morrow.
Governor Frank Emerson of
Wyoming delivered the message to
the first rider asking the President
to come to any part of the state, in
Guiding what Emerson called the
"Dude' ranch country at Yellow
stone Park.
The route of the new pony ex-
press lies through tortuous noun
tain passes and vii lrequire travel
ing throughout the night. The sec
ond relay man in the pony chain is
Francis f. Warren, grandson of the
senator from Wyoming. Horses in
the chain bear names of famous
characters, including Emerson, War
rem, Teddy Roosevelt, Senators Nor
ris and Howell, local congressman
and senators.
Will Decline Invitation
The last horse will be "Calvin
Coolidge - and Dakota Clyde
Jones, winner of the wild horse race
at Bellefourche roundup, will ride
it the final three miles from the
FORESTRY Service Station to Game
Lodge.
Jones is keeper of horses at the
summer White House.
A special party of Wyoming citi'
zens headed by Emerson is expected
to come up in automobiles ahead of
the pony riders to welcome them at
the lodge. The party will lunch
with President and Mrs. Coolidge.
Warren was unable to attend the
celebration because of illness of
Mrs. Warren in Washington.
Mr.. Coolidge has indicated he will
decline the invitation and has au-
thorized the statement that he will
90 no further from the summer
White House than points from
which he can return the same day.

That three women instead of two

considered by police today when
Mrs. Mary Demartino Of Brooklyn
reported her daughter, Evelyn, 1S,

Mrs. Alfred Bennett, 4s, one of the

Police said after examining the

that it apparently was that of a
woman about 80 years old. 1t that

Besides Mrs. Bennett, the other

Apparently there was no doubt
that at least two, and possibly
three women had been killed in the
cellar. Their bodies were then
hacked, sawed and cut to pieces
and attempts made to hide the
crimes by spreading the dismember-
ed bodies: a few pieces at g time,
over New York.
A knife, saw and axe were found
in the cellar along with bloodstain-
