Better Spuds Suggest
ed AS Opening Wild
err Market

CHICAGO, Nov. lI.-lnitial steps,
designed 70 improve general condi-
tons IN the potato industry, were
taken BY q small group OF serious
minded shippers and distributors nj a
special meeting held here at teh
Stevens Hotel.
Stated briefly. the plan Of action
y based largely on the principles az
teaching the grower how 10 produce
better potatoes. and In educating the
housewife how 70 buy potatoes.
Consumer advertising ives dis
cusscd, but no definite action was
taken. 1t was apparently agreed that
the quality Of potatoes must be stan
dardizcd before an elaborate cam
naign of advertising would prove
profitable. Most ar those present
seemed favorably inclined toward
the idea Of increasing consumption
through advertising. and IL N nos
sible that the discussion may lead 10
publicity which will eventually bcne-
fit the trade.
The adoption NJ state laws rcauir-
ing compulsory grading and insper-
tions was favored by the entire as
scmblage.
The tentative suggestions or &C.
ton. are as follows:
4. That the handlers Of potatoes in
All shipping districts make "A study
Of the situation in their territory
with a view of effecting an improve
ment where possible in the grading
Of potatoes.
:. That growers and shippers eon-
fine their shipments az potatoes to
those grading ". s. No. \ as deter
mined by federal or state inspections.
and that all potatoes should he free
from dirt or other elements that de-
tract from appearance and affect
market conditions.
;. That so far as possible federal
inspection M potatoes he secured at
shipping point or in the shipping dis
trict.
4. That the railroads and the ship
pers' regional advisory boards ~ re-
qUested to lend their cooperation b~
a%cquainting the W and shippers
IF potatoes with the record outlined
above and urge all 10 comply there
with.
3. That the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture also be request
"a II lend its influence IN this cam
paign or improvement as mentioned
above to cooperate in educating the
public aS q the food value w pota-
toes.

HOOVER LEADERS
PLAN TO ANSWER
: SMITHS ATTACKS
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspond ent

WASHINGTON, Sept. - Herb
crt Hoover intends to take no rccog
uition personally of the attacks
made upon his campaign platform
by Gov. Alfred f. Smith in his
western tour, the United Press was
informed officially today.
The answers which will be made
to Smith will he delivered by the
important Republican orators and
by Chairman Hubert Work Of III"
national committee. Hoover will
continue with the quiet plan of cam.
paign he already has marked out
for himself, no matter what the con
testing nominee says, according to
the announcement.
This course of action was decided
upon by the inner council after
smith = farm speech in Omaha,
which mentioned Hoover by name
and purported to quote from some of
Hoover 5 speeches.
Hoover has never mentioned
Smith 5 name during. the campaign
and has referred to the Democratic
pnrty only in general terms, never
directly levYing an attack upon
either the opposing candidate or the
party.

Continued from Page ~

There is IA growing fear that Mrs
Clark met with foul play during the
four days between the time she and
the NorthcOttS disappeared and the
time they were arrested Wednesday.
The Bobbics > would not admit to-
dav that they were worried over
her disappearance, merely saying
that she is wanted in Los Angeles as
material witness, but the public
here is not reluctant to express the
opinion that she may have been
murdered.

gathered at the depot here last
night to get a glimpse Of the social
ed "apr-boy' But they were dis
appointed because the police took
\orthcott from the tram 0utsid"
Vancouver and spirited him to the
Okalla jail which is about eight
miles from the downtown district.
Northcott was dressed in a brown
tweed suit brown coat, bro"n neck
tie with cream spots, and Il gray
lcap.
lie had drawn some disgust from
police aud ncwspapermen by his
constant use Of Il lipstick-it is Il
coIorlcss lipstick, however, and he
says he uses it because his lips be
came badly parchcd and swollen on
| HIS flight across the Cascade noun
tainS to the Okanogan Valley where
hc was arrested Wednesday by Il
/ constable Of the provincial police.
The newspaper accounts Of his
capture and Of the revolving scenes
on the "murdcr farm have claimed
his attention since his arrest, police
say, and he has read AL papers
avidly.
His manner is not entirely unlike
| that Of William Edward Hickman
| when he was arrested and placed in
the city Jail at PcndIrton, Ore, last
! winter, except that there is no sign
I of confession or break down in the
/ dcmcanor Of this strange Young
man. He Will answer questions free
! ~ he seems to like to talk-but
his every sentence is Il denial Of the
! lcinous charges which he will face
! if he is taken back TO Southern
California. He slept well last night
and the night before, his guards
said today.
Apparently the 500 bill which
Northcott rendered the ferry boat
purscr ut Okanogan LAX. was his
"ntir" capital as Colonel j. II. Me
| MuIlin, superintendent of the I:rlt
ieh Columbia provincial police said
Pc had only Il little more than $50

month or more before Riverside

INDICTMENTS TO
BE RETURNED IN
NORTHCOTT CASE

RIVERSIDE. Calf, Sept. 2l.--
, The Riverside county grand jury VIII
meet here today to return indict-
ments charging Gordon Stewart
/ N0rthc0tt and his mother Mrs. Louise
Northcott, with II series of axe
murders said to have been committed
on a chicken ranch near Corona.
Sanford Clark, -, whose story of
NorthcOtt 5 asserted degencracy
/ and murdrr0uS habits started the
murdrr farm investigation, will be
the leading witness at the session.
Northcott and his mother already
have been formally charged with
murder but if was pointed out that
Il grand jury indictment might fore.
stall serious cxtradition troubles.
Clark, arrested at the request of
= sister who told Officers he was
being abused, claimed he knew Of
! four murders instigatcd by North
colt and that he suspected at least
/ two more.
Clark said Walter Collins, 9, and
Louis and Nelson Winslow, 10 and
/ -, were hacked to death on the
! chicken ranch while the head of an
/ Unidentified Mexican or Filipino
/ was taken there for burial with the
/ others.
The youth said he, himself, was
j forced to kill one Of the Winslow
j boys with AN axe, that Northcott
/ murdered the other Winslow and
] the Mexican or Filipino. and that
Mrs Northcott chopped Walter Col
! Inns to death.
The Mexican or Filipino prcsum-
ably was murdered in Northcott =
/ fathers home in Los Angeles. Au-
i thoritics there have found blood
/ stains. blood -clottcd axes and other
/ indications that this crime was com
mittcd in the basement Of the resi-
/ Gence
/ In an effort to add to the physi-
! cal evidence discovered on the chick
! IN ranch, Young Clark was to be
taken there today. He told officers
] he would point out bloodstains re-
! shifting from the aNc-killings Of the
! Winslow brothers.
Convinced of Truth
/ Human bones. blood and tatt"r"d
clothing already discovered have
convinced authorities of the truth
+ of the story told by Clark.
Through the entire murder story
runs the strange thread Of Walter
Collins.
\ youth who was returned here
from Illinois as Walter Collins but
who was denied by the mother, Mrs.
Christine Collins, changed his idrn-
titv three times yesterday.

i her son, Young Clark said Collins

When Mrs. Collins at first refused

was placed in the pSychopathic ward
and forced to undergo sanity tests.

youth was identified as Arthur
