FARM BUREAU
GIVES WARNING
McNary-H Bill viii Be
Passed, Says Settle.

Congress passed the McNary-
Haugen bill once and as sure as /
am standing here, Congress will
pass it again, because it's right
and sooner or later a President will
be found who can see through ma
tional, not sectional or partisan
eyes, and he will sign it," William
H. Settle. Indiana Farm Bureau
Federation president, told Fedora
ton members this morning at the
opening of the three-day conven-
ton at the Claypool.
Settle scored the belief that the
farmers lot is improved because of
high prices of certain commodities.
Improvements in markets that
must depend upon shifting distress
over into some other crop, or upon
flood, frost or boil weevil or rust to
bring it about, is no correction at
ALL" he declared.
-, United States Senator Kenneth
McKellar of Tennessee upheld the
McNary- Tiaugen bill at the after
noon session.
c. H. Burnell, president Of the
Manitoba Cooperative Wheat Pro-
ducers of Canada, will speak this
afternoon on cooperative plans of
marketing.

dinner will be held tonight at the
Claypool.

representative and Ball Teachers
College president, will speak at the

ACTION TUESDAY
IN JURY PROBE
Delay to Study Procedure
in Conspiracy Case.

Bu United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Action
Tuesday in the Fau-Sinclair jury
tampering case was promised today
by Neil BurkinShaw, assistant to
United States Attorney Peyton
Gordon, who has directed the
grand jury investigation of the last
three weeks.
Expected action today failed to
develop because the Government
was not quite ready to proceed. 1t
was indicated some unexpected
course may be taken other than
grand jury indictments, and the de-
lay was believed caused by deliber-
alton over procedure.
An affirmative answer was given
today by one of the Government
counsel to the question whether the
district attorney could initiate con-
tempt proceedings for alleged jury
tampering in another court than
that of Justice Siddons WHO tried
the Fall-Sinclair conspiracy case.
Siddons' failure to execute con-
tempt proceedings had evoked
criticisms from Government lawyers
but whether change of course will
be taken was not revealed.

SAFE CRACKERS
TAKE $3.50
Furniture Store Vault Blown
Loot Is $500.

Within twenty-four hours after
Chief Claude M. Worley secretly
returned police to eight-hour shifts,
yeggs swung into action here, blow
ing open one safe, battering two
others and escaping with $3.50 in
loot.
Worley put police on twelve-hour
shifts two weeks ago, to stop the
banditry wave.
The burglars, using nitroglycerin
to blow open the safe, got $2,700
from the Kirk Company furniture
store, % E. Washington ST., after
midnight Saturday.
Sunday night they battered open
the safe in the drug store of o. r.
Rasico, 1920 E. Michigan ST., got
$3.50, leaving behind stamps and
money orders and battered, but
failed to open, the safe in James
Ballenger's poolroom. They took
$14 from the poolroom cash regis
ter.
At the Kirk store the thieves
gained entrance through an un~
locked second floor window from
the roof of a one-story building in
the rear. One of the yeggs un-
locked the window Saturday or hid
in the store to let the others in,
Chief Worley believes.

In the second one, Hughes not
only refuses to seek safer terrain,
but invites the lightning to strike
him from each of the thirteen
original points of the compass.
The book is called George Wash
ington, the Rebel and the Patriot"
and will be published by William
Morrow g. Co. Wednesday.
HUGHES this time chronicles
l. l. the years from 1852 to 1777.
His attitude. is that Washington,
far from being a youth of whom
great things were expected, was
rather ordinary, but later de-
veloped qualities of true greatness.
A background against which this
greatness stands out in bold relief
is the intrigue and apathy of his
fellow ancestors of the D. A. r.
and the Sons of the American
Revolution. A good many fondly
held beliefs about the early pa
triots go by the board in the
process.
EOR instance, Hughes declares:
IL ETHAN Allen captured Ft.
Ticonderoga with rum, not bull
let's" Besides having eighty three
men to the British's forty-eight,
Allen thoughtfully had arranged
to have twenty of the forty-eight
drunk in case of hostilities.
In addition to this, Allen did
not thunder to the Britisher,
shivering there in his undershirt,
breeches and bare feet, to srtF-
render "in the name Of the Great
Jehovah and the Continental
Congress"
Hughes says that while Allen
might have had authority from
Jehovah, he certainly had none
from the Continental Congress,
which had convened only that
same day in distant Philadelphia
and adjourned after requesting
Mr.. Duche to have prayer ready
for the morrow's session.
Hughes proceeds to the Staying
of other myths" with great gusto.

DENVER, Nov. 21.-The long

into open battle today.

Adams said martial Law probably
would be declared before night.
Two hundred fifty State troopers,
ready for weeks for immediate
action, will leave for the strike zone
before noon, Col. Paul Newlan, adju-
tant general, said.
Deputy Warns Crowd
The Columbine mine has been a
conteSting ground since the I. w. w.
strike was called six weeks ago. 1t
has been the only property which
has operated virtually throughout
the strike.
When the 500 miners approached
the property this morning, Deputy
Sheriff I. j. Benyon mounted a
motor truck and asked them not to
go into the enclosure.
There is no use causing a con-
fiict," he cautioned. "You men must
not violate the State law by enter
ing this property"
The miners paused.
Don't pay any attention to Ben
yon," striker shouted. Hes stool

Tear Bombs Hurled
The strikers stamped nervously.
Come onl" one shouted.
tFhe crowd pushed inside. AS 1t
neared the second gate, State po-
lice let loose tear bombs.
Cursing and yelling, the miners
fell back. When the gas had
cleared away they charged again.
stop where you are" the leader
of the State police ordered. But
the miners moved forward. The
clash came after the officers had
fired into the air, in hope of stop
ping the advance.
Swinging clubs and waving knives,
the attackers, swept on the officers,
who then fired into the advancing
ranks.
Two miners dropped to the
ground with the first volley.
Fight Lasts 3 Minutes
Louis Scherf, head of the State
police, who directed the activities
of his men in the fight, said the
actual fighting at the Columbine
mine lasted only three minutes.
Two machine guns trained on
the strikers were not brought into
action.
Some of the wounded men we're
given first aid in the mind. Ambu-
lances from Boulder and Longmont
took others to hospitals at those
cities.
The fights today were the first
serious outbreaks of violence since
the strike began. Most of the
I. w. w. organizers and leaders are
in Colorado jails facing charges of
violating the States anti-picket-
ing law.

stigated the dynamiting here dur

He overruled their motion to set

4 motion that they be released on

charging that Harry Boggs, former
local union president and street
car company "spy," produced and
was responsible for the use of dyna-

Boggs, they contended,, was re-

Ernest H. Pflumm, assistant SUI

a week as an undercover man to
prevent strike violence. He was
furnished no money for dynamite
and never ordered to incite to vio-

OnlJeQ states SENATOR Arthur
r.. Robinson was another wit
ness today.
The increased sentence was asked
by Gilliom on the ground that Shu-
maker tried to get Robinson, United
State Senator James E. Watson and
other Republican leaders to use "in-
f1uence" upon Supreme Court judges
in his behalf.
Questioned by Gilliom, Walb re-
lated a conversation he had with
Shumaker in September, 1925, at the
Methodist Church in La Grange,
Ind. Shunaker had occupied the
pulpit and made an appeal.
Wanted GiIIiOm Turned
Following the sermon, Shumaker
came to Walb in the rear Of the
church, the witness related, and
after a few remarks turned to dis
cussion of the political situation.
"ShumaEer Said," Walb related,
that if Gilliom could be convinced
to see the situation respecting the
Shunaker case in the right way, it
would help the political situation
greatly.
"He said," Walb continued, that
he thought that Supreme Court
Judge Travis and Benjamin F
Willoughby would be agin' him,
because he had opposed their elec-
ton.
Walb admitted that the name of
Judge Myers was mentioned and
that Shumaker said he didn't
know how Myers felt.
Would Help G. o. P.
"Shumaker said he had changed
his views on the election and felt
that he would like to do what he
could to help elect the Republican
ticket" if Walb could bring an end
to Gilliom's attacks.
Gilliom questioned Senator Rob-
inson regarding conversation be-
tween Shumaker and Robinson at
the Senator's home in August, 1926.
Robinson said Shumaker had tele-
phoned him, asking for an inter-
view that evening.
At that time Robinson was can
didate for United States Senator.
Discussed His Case
did he discuss his case?" asked
Gilliom.
"Dr. Shumeker opened the discus
sion of his case," replied Robinson.
"He asked if 1 had any objection
and 1 said no. 1 told him he could
talk as freely as he wanted to-"
"'I am not interested in how my
case is decided-whether I am found
guilty or acquitted, but 1 want it
settled in hurry Robinson said
Shumaker told him.
Robinson said he explained to
Shumaker that he could not help
him, because he was Federal legis-
lative official and not State Of
fetal.
He also stated that Shumaker
had appealed to him to tell Sen
ator Watson about his case and
Robinson promised he would do so.
Tells of Watson Talk
"I'll get Watson on the phone and
you can talk to him yourself" Rob-
inson told Gilliom, referring to Shu-
makers visit to the Robinson home.
"I talked to Senator Watson only
minute" Robinson continued. Il
told him that Mr.. Shumaker was
there and that he would like to have
his case decided by the Supreme
Court. I said I was helpless in the
matter and that Mr.. Shumaker was
anxious to have you (Senator Wat
SOM know how he feels"
Questioned as to Watson's reply
to Robinson, Robinson said:
