KNOX, IND, Aug. 3O.-Belief that
John Tucker, 70, hermit farmer,
found dead early Tuesday, with his
head beaten in. was the victim of
trampS he had often befriended was
expressed today by some residents
of this section of Stark County,
where he made his home.
1t is known that wayfarers were
often taken in by Tucker at his
shack home near Lena Park, and
there is theory that one who be-
lieved the old man had large sum
of money may have attacked him
with robbery as a motive.

LEAGUE COUNCIL
OPENS; ENJOYS
FACE STIFF JOB
38 Subjects on Agenda as
Diplomats Convene in
Geneva.
BY HENRY WOOD,
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

GENEVA, Aug. 0-Thirty-eight
subjects were on the agenda of the
League of Nations council as diplo-
mat from over the world met to-
'dtsy in the f1fty-frst session of that
body.
The PoliSh-Lithuanian question,
the dispute between Hungary and
Rumania and the matter of the
league building were among the di-
versif1ed questions to be brought up
today, while in the background was
the subject OF international peace
such as was attempted through the
Kellogg antl-war pact at Paris
which may come under discussion
when the league assembly meets
Monday.
Monroe Doctrine Up
Leaders of the council decided to
omit one delicate subject from the
agenda. That was Costa Ricas de-
y lnand for an Interpretation of the
Monroe Doctrine.
The delicacy of the question
caused the leaders to decide against
it being on the agenda, as that
would mean public discussion, and
to attempt to solve the matter pri-
vately. Thus the Costa Rican let
ter, asking the Interpretation, will
be distributed among the council
members in an effort to find sat-
jsfactory formula without obliging
the council formally to decide.
Latin American members of the
council were extremely active

vention until Russia has ratified the
commissions control proposal. This
was done on Poland'S demand.
Russia last week refused an invi-
tation to have a part in this meet
ing, pointing out that her delegates
at the disarmament conference had
demanded complete disarmament
and on a second proposal for part
disarmament, had been met with
silence.

BY PAUL r. MALLON,
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-Re-
publican field generals who have
been mapping out the presidential
campaign here with Herbert Hoov-
er started home today with orders
to prepare for the quietest sort of
a prediction battle-economizing
on words and expenses.
The supreme council has decreed
that the budget must be held ma
tionalIy to a 100000 limit; each
individual State is to be permit
ted to run its own campaign local
ly; and the nominee is to restrict
himself to three or four campaign
speeches.
Plans for sweeping tourss and
heavily financed organizations were
discarded.
States Campaign Units
Hoover and his strategists decided
every item of expense would have to
be pared, so expenses Of the ma
tional organization may be held
within the 100000 maximum in
stead of running to 100000 as
previously planned. Many State
organizations, however, will be per-
mitted to raise within their own
borders what funds they can.
This will carry the total expense
of the campaign well beyond the
budget of the national organization.
State organizations also will have
the right to spend their money as
they please and generally conduct
the Hoover Curtis campaign in their
individual States as they think best.
