guilty to the murder of one William

Mrs. CaSsler went TO jail to await

The case was carried TO tile state

PROPOSES FARLEY
ON FLOOD, CONTROL
Representative Reid Sug-
uests Conference to En-
brace Waterways.

Flood control and waterway develop
ment would be discussed at national
conference under a plan sponsored yes
tsrday by Chairman Reid Of the House
fIood-control committee. The plan
would call for cooperation between the
Federal Government and the States.
In his statement Reid also sharply
criticized the manner in which the Mis-
sissippi fiood-control act is being car
ried out, and urged the adoption OF an
amendment which he said would neces-
state the abandonment OF the iuSe.
plug" levees or the acquisition by the
Government of the land and property
they would subject to floods.
The conference proposed by REID
would be for the purpose Of discussing
a development plan which would Sc
cure united action by the Federal Gov
eminent, the States and the local In
terests" in the work Of controlling
floods and developing waterways.
Reid Outlines His Views.
Reid made the proposal In discussing
the surveys being made OF tributaries OF
the Mississippi under the hood-control
act, and said. that II public sentiment
favored such a conference, he would
Join with others in calling II End taking
part in the deliberations.
Until those surveys are completed
and the flood control problems on the
tributaries and their effect upon the
main river are thoroughly considered
and fitted into comprehensive and

ton of the problem will not have been
reached"
Wants Action by Congress.

He suggested that Q bill be drafted
for adoption in each State TO create

4.Year Sentence.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September 23.-Charles
@. Rideal, sentenced to- four years In
the penitentiary at Atlanta on the
charge of using the mails to defraud
in connection with stock sales, died
yesterday in the Federal House Of
Detention. He was IS years old. An
ambulance surgeon said death was due
to natural causes.
Rideal and Richard p. Woolfall. IS,
both Englishmen, were convicted OF
mail fraud charges September 10, in
Federal Court the first convictions OBJ
tanned by United States Attorney
Charles H. Tuttle in his drive against
fake stock sales and financial bucket
shops Woolfall, for whom the jury
recommended mercy, was sentenced to
serve one year and day, and both
men then were sent to the Federal
House of Detention to await trans
portation to Atlanta.
At the trial both Rideal and Woolfall
insisted they believed all the repre-
sensations had been made with respect
to the securities they sold. Assistant
United States Attorney Thomas T.
Cooke introduced a letter written by
Rideal to friend in London in 1908,
in which Rideal wrote the only thing
Americans we're good for was to make
money out of them and when 1t comes
to that they are as silly set Of geese
as ever were plucked by the human

Honey may be had In three forms

Before the passage Of the pure food

was offered for sale. When uniformed

often jumped to the conclusion that the
presence OF cane sugar was the cause
OF the granulation. To sllay that sus-

to about l45 degrees Fahrenheit and

culinary art in public schools to the boy
pupils of the upper classes. The course
is optional for boys, but IL 1t proves sue

for this measure is the desire of the

The award Of mail contracts
for the routes on which these
vessels are to serve will speed
the placing Of orders for tlle1r
building. In addition, plans are
also being developed at the pres.

STOCKS .STIFFEN
AFTER EARLY
DECLINE
BY W. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Dec. 3O.-Indus-
Sial stocks stiffened today after
Starting the new week at a
klightly lower range Of prices. It
was assumed that tax selling for
1929 had been completed, or
nearly so, since this is the last
day in which stock sales to record
such losses can be made in the
regular way.
Investment buying and bargain
hunting were sufficient to absorb
the small volume of stocks thrown
on the market and the shorts
were also ready to cover up on
stocks sold for the decline in the
last week or two.
Nothing very startling in the
business and industrial world was
looked for over the next couple
Of months, but business and IN
dustrial heads who have reviewed
the situation are unanimous in
their views that fundamental con-
ditionS are sound, despite the
terrific Shake-up in the stock mar
ket.
The foundation has been laid
for q revival in basic industries
early in 1880 and Wall Street is
confident of constructive develop
ments in the security markets.
The first hour today saw raj
lies in a number of active stocks
which were under fire last week.
q. s. Steel at 1877 was up az
points for the day and 1012
points from the low of last week.
American Can was up 212 at
i171z, Montgomery Ward up Ia:
Fox Film A up 21a; Radio UP
about q point. Sears Roebuck,
after registering a new low at

stocks and the motors were dull
and inactive and the copper
steady.
