Communist President In
Turkestan Risks Life to
Calm Moslem Fanaticism

SAMARKAND, Turkestan, U.
S. s. R., Aug. 10. Further severe
earthquake shocks rocked Turkes-
tan today, and a great many of
the alarmed natives expressed the
belief that the tremors represented
the wrath of Allah because the
Soviet government had allowed the
Mohammedan women to unveil
their faces.
The recurring quakes have in
creased fanaticism among the
Mohammedans and the Communist
president of Turkestan is trying
strenuously to alleviate their fears.
He risked his life addressing TO-
900 pilgrims who had gone to the
shrine of a Mohammedan saint to
pray. He explained the scientific
causes of the tremors.
Additional casualties have been
reported. Two were killed in the
Ural province of Sarapul and a
hundred homes were wrecked by
quakes in Uzabek.

u. S. Foreign Commerce
Nine and Half Billion

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - Fig
ures in the commerce department in
dicated today that sales abroad may
reach 100000, establishing an
all-time record for normal years.
Only during the war and the post
war construction period have Ameri-
can foreign sales been higher than
in 1927.
Exported goods represent about 10
per cent of the total production, dis
closing the country's remarkable do
nestle consumption capacity.
Owing to the heavy decline in rub
Der and other raw material prices
from last year, imports are expected
to be considerably lower. Present
figures indicate that the United
States will purchase abroad goods
valued at about $4,000, 100000 this
year.

While not directly denying the
statements Of Congressman Albert
Johnson that foreign born workers
who participated in Sacco-Vanzetti
demonstrations would be deported,
Arthur E. Cook, assistant to the sec
rotary of labor has sent communi-
cation to the American Civil Liberties

to participate in the demonstrations.
Cook also denied that the department
has issued any statements whatsoever
on the Sacco-Vanzetti case.
His communication was in reply to
a protest by the union against the

move against aliens who evidence
sympathy with the condemned men.

SENATORS STATE
COOLIDGE FACES
Severe CONFLICT
Imperialism and Graft
Will Be Discussed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, (FP).-
President Coolidge has not escaped a
hard fight on his policies in the COM
ing congress by his equivocal declar-
alton that he does not choose to be
a candidate for reelection, according
to Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin.
Progressives instead will regard him
as a seeker of the third term and
will carry the war into his camp.
Bad Record.
"Last March when Congress adj
journed," declares LaFollette, at was
generally conceded that Mr. Coolidge
as an active candidate, faced a hard
fight. He had to carry the burden
of his record for the past four years,
some of the important issues being:
Keeping Daugherty as attorney
general.
Indifference to the oil scandals.
Support of the Mellon tax program
relieving the rich of their fair share
of the burden of government and the
cost of war.
Packing the federal trade, inter
state commerce and tariff commits
sions with servants of special inter
ests.
Attempt to destroy the federal in
heritance tax.
Effort to turn Muscle Shoals over
to the power monopoly.
! Indifference to the debauchery Of
elections in Illinois and Pennsylvania,
Imperialistic policy in Nicaragua
and Mexico, with loss of friendship
and trade in Central and South Amer
lea.
Veto of farm relief legislation.
"In the coming session he Will have
to face the issue of organizing the
senate, which involves the cases of
Smith and Ware, with Mellon and
Reed, of Pennsylvania, supporting
the latter.
OcOtal His Fault.
"The bombing of Ocotal is the logi-
cal outcome of his high-handed i'm
periahstic policy in Nicaragua, but
it is bloody climax from which he
cannot escape direct responsibility,
His refusal to call an extra session
of congress which would have put all
the power of the government lack OF
adequate relief of the 100000 people
made homeless by the Mississippi
flood and to start immediate work
for prevention and control of the
great river is q dereliction Of duty
which can only be measured by its
awful consequences"

Japanese Unions Gain
Strength in Machine,
Mine, Dye Industries

TOKYO, Aug. 18.--At the end of
1926 there were 400 trade unions in
Japan with a total membership of
284,739. These figures represent an
increase of $4,000 members as com
pared with the situation at the end
of June in the same year.
The gas industry comprises the
largest number of trade unions, viz,
95. The highest trade union member
ship is that of the transport under
takings, viz, nearly 10000. Among
the most important industries from
the point of view of the number OF
unions and of the number of mem
bers affiliated are the machinery and
tools, dyeing, chemicals and mining
industries.

Twenty-fOur CIericals
Killed in Mexico; Had
Been Ravaging Country

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 18. -
Twenty-four rebels were killed in
battle with detachment of fed
eral troops near San Francisco,
state Of Jalisco, according to Of
ficial dispatches to the war de-
partment today. These are frag-
ments of the army set in motion
several months ago by the Catholic
Church.
Shouting 'Iong Live Christ, the
King" these bands raided the
countryside killing a number of
citizens, burning, looting and tor
turing peaceful residents, before
they were finally broken up. One
company, led by priests, locked
over a hundred unarmed passen-
gers into the Guadalajara express
train this spring, and burned them
to death by setting the train on
fire.

SEARCH ISLANDS
and SEA FOR TWO
LOST AIRPLANES
Costly Experiment of
Use Only to War Makers

p HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 49,
The remote possibility that one or
both of the missing planes in the
Dole race-the Golden Eagle and the
Miss Doran-may have landed far
up on the slopes Of the higher noun
tains of the islands of Maui and
Hawai- today buoyed up the hopes Of
the hundreds of searcheIs and thous-
e.ads of anxious residents of Hawaii.
should such a landing have been
made by either or both of the planes
distance and difficulty in walking
would prevent the occupants Of the
aircraft from reaching the coast line
for some days, it was pointed out.
Half of Craft Fail.
Naval craft, privately owned ships,
and both private and army aircraft
have been securing the ocean, trying
to locate the two planes, four men
and one girl apparently lost at sea.
This flight is considered to have
shown that considerable Improvement
mus be done before attacks on Japan
via the Hawaiian islands are possible.
Out of original entries of fifteen
planes, only four actually were able
to start. Of these only two made
their goal.
Some bitterness is expressed in
civilian quarters that the army and
navy should have been able to get
this vital and dangerous experiment
al flight undertaken by civilians, at
no cost to the department, nor risk
to its aviators.
