ROUNDHOUSE EMPLOYEES
OF S. P. in MEX. STRIKE

NOGALES, Oct. 19 R)-What are
believed reliable but unofficial reports
to the Herald today said that labor
troubles at Ernpalme. Sonora, resulted
in a walkout of 80 per cent of
roundhouse employees of the Southern
Pacific of Mexico railway there.
Officials of the railway here said
local officials were not in a position
to give out any details, but that the
labor disturbance had been serious.
The Herald report said the trouble
began last Friday as a result of an
alteration between labor leader and
the foreman of the roundhouSe shops,
A majority Of the workmen quit their
posts the same day
Thomas Balderrama has been
named Intermediary while a Mr
Houston represented the railway in
efforts to terminate the strike. The
trouble is believed localized in Rm-
paine.
H. B. Tttcomb, president of the
railway, is reported at Guadalajara,
Jalisco, new headquarters of the
company.

country and England. he said,
the beam system had strength
cned messages 100 times. TO OBJ
tain the same strength Of In
coming signals without directionaI
transmission the sending power
would have had to have been
increased 10000 times, which,
MarcOni added. would have been
unfeaSible. Since the success OF
radio telephony and photography
are dependent upon the strengtl
of the incoming signals, Marconi
declared he considered his exper-
iments with beam transmission
as basic for the improvement OF
the art.
Asked whether wireless would
ever completely replace the cable,
Marconi said the latter had only
the advantage of secrecy, but tnnt
with the beam system secrecy is
practically absolute in radio since
words are transmitted at as high
a rate as 500 per minute, re-
quiring complicated and expensive
sets. In addition, such messages
are subject to reception only by
stations in the direct path of The
beam.

FALL IMPOSED.

WASHINGTON Oct 10, H)-With

COUNSEL began unfolding today the
story of the leasing of the Teapot
Dome naval reserve on which they
will ask a jury in the District of
Columbia supreme court to find
Albert B. Fall and Harry F. Sin
clair guilty of conspiracy to de-
fraud the government
Before presentation of direct evi-
dence began, Martin w. Littleton
concluded his preliminary statement
for the defense in which he promised
that there would be no evidence to
show that Sinclair ever had any
connection with any Of the $200,5OO in
liberty bonds which reached Fall
or his relatives-a transaction which
forms high point in the government
case. s,li4,.g.
Soon after Littleton had cUnclud-
ed his at times dramatic address to
the two women and ten men jurors,
the government put on the stand one
of its most important witnesses, Ed
ward @. Finney, first assistant sec
retary of the interior under Fall and
still holding that jobb. Previously
1t had placed in evidence the leases
and contracts affecting Teapot Dome.
From Finney, Owen j. Roberts, for
the government, elected the direct
statement that Fall took out of the
hands of his associates in the inter-
ior department the handling of the
Teapot Dome reserve and personal
ly conducted the negotiations with
Sinclair for its lease.
Moreover, Finney said, Fall had
imposed silence upon his associates
concerning the lease, which lay lock-
ed in his desk for days while Sena-
tors and others vainly sought in
formation as to whether lease had
been executed or whether there was
intention to execute one.
Relying frequently upon docu-
mentary evidence, which Finney
identified. the government showed
that in leasing Teapot Dome to
Sinclair, without public notice and
competitive bidding Fall departed
from practice obtaining both as
to wells leased in the naval oil
reserves in California and the pub
lie lands in the Salt Greek Field
of wyoming, adjacent to Teapot
Dome.
Sinclair's lease called for royal
ties on extracted oil ranging from
IL IL percent to so per cent, where
as the evidence was that the royal
ties fixed by the government on the
Salt Creek field lands was from
25 per cent to 33 1-3 percent plus
a cash bonus for the leases them
selves.
One bit of evidence presented by
the government was what Associate

Bread Eating Takes
Big Drop in London

bread basket doesn't require as many
loaves as formerly. In London alone
approximately 100000 fewer. loaves
are being baked daily compared with

There are various explanations.
One theory is that girls and women
desiring to retain, their trim figures
are eating less of the staff of life
and nib5lirg at crackers instead
Officials of the National ASsocia-
tiorl Of Millers attribute the drop
partly to a campaign favoring whole
wheat bread which has been carried
on for several years by the New
Health society. Bakers Scsy that peo-
pie cannot eat as much brown bread

ing approximately 100000 loaves

A total of 3148 farmers preferred
the dialogue style in presenting their
programs, as against 1897 who want
ed the straight lecture form. Among
suggestions for improving service
we're:
Have trained announcer do the
broadcasting in place OF lecturers;
make talks short and to the point;
schedule talks often enough for folks
to get the habit OF listening; inject
enough atmosphere into educational
programs to prevent their becoming
dull, and prepare talks in simple
and everyday terms.
Evaporation at persistent, direct
advertising over the radio was ex-
pressed by some farmers, who appeal
ed for "some means of promptly dis
tinguishing between bona fide edu-
cational material and mere sales
talks"
A total of 1904 farmers were in
terested most in cropss and soils; 1921
in poultry raising; 1885 in fruits, veg
etables and flowers; 1928 in livestock;
1881 in farm economics, and 928 in
dairying.

$1O,OO0,0O0 TAXES
GIVEN TO COUNTIES
Interior Department Approves
Payments on Former Railroad
Lands in Western States.

The Interior Department has ap-
proved payment of about $1O,000,0O0
in back taxes to % counties in oregon
and Washington for land formerly
held by the Oregon and California
Railroad, taken over by the Govern
ment in 1915.
One of the largest payments, an
award of S1,471 $40, has been approved
for Douglas County, Greg, by Con
troIer General McCarl. Payments to
several other counties run into hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars, but the
exact amounts and names of the coun-
ties sharing in the payments have not
been made public.
Under a measure passed by the last
Congress. the Interior Department was
authorized TO determine the amount
of the taxes from 1915 to 1926 and to
pay them Title to the land on which
the Oregon and California Railroad
operated in 1915 was recovered by the
Government. but the Government had
questioned the right of the Western
counties to tax the land.
A Supreme Court opinion upheld
this right. however, with the result
that the back tax payments are being
made.
