Scientist Describes
 Approach of Death

PARIS, Sept. 7.-Seldom has man met death as did pr. Pierre Andre Marie, scientist, of the Pasteur h. Istitute, this summer.
 He died of botulism poisoning, one of the rarest and most deadly of diseases. This infection some times comes from preserved food, After four years experimenting in search of an antidote, Dr. Marie lg got the bacilli in his eye while performing a laboratory experi- ment.
 Up to the hour before death when he lost consciousness, he de- scribed to attending physicians ev- cry symptom and reaction that he felt. giving them the most com plete record yet made. When par alysis closed his eyes, he begged them to raise the lids so that ht might look at the blue discoloratior of his fingernails-sign of the ap- proach of the crisis.

 The current market situation m the public utility industry has pe- come so complicated that most statisticians frankly confess thelr inability with the limited informa- ton available, to arrive at any defl- nite conclusion regarding the vaitie of various stocks involved. Holding companies own so many stocks of other companies, which III turn are owners of so many other companies, that trying to figure values is<almost an impossible task Fears are felt in some quarters that the recent broad trend to- ward mergers might arouse con gressional opposition and lead te another era of so-called trust bust ing.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Barring the enactment of restrictive legis- lation, Wall street sees in the re- cent grouping of public utility com panies a giant combine.
 It forsees one company eventually controlling all the leading power and light. producers from Bangor Me, to Pensacola, Fla, within l5O miles of the Atlantic seaboard.
 Many observers feel that this development is likely within the next five years. While it is still too early to forecast how thls grouping will be arranged, 1t IS considered likely that either the United corporation or the American Super power corporation will form the nucleus of this combine.

CANTON, China, Sept. 7.-There will be little relief for China s starving millions this fall if the crop statisticians are correct in their calculations.
 This will be especially true in the South China provinces or Kwangsi. and Kwangtung, where the principal crop, rice, is below nor nal. There are 49,0o000o people in the provinces and the normal rice crop is about 100000 short tons,
 Spring rainfall this year was 70 per cent less than the average in Kwangsi and Kwangtung, so the farmers have passed through one of the most serious droughts in 50 years. Large provincial cities de- pending on rain for their water supplies have faced serious short ages of the precious liquid and even the British Colony of Hong kong endured a two months drS spell that drained every reserve reservoir. Thousands went thirsty and water was shipped in from Shanghai and Manila by chartered steamer.

CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Ever so oft en gangland hatches hoodlum who is different and he pays for it. His head pops up above the level of his mob and the gendarmes have a merry time trying to poke it off.
 Such a lad was Wee Willie Doo- dy, who rose from an obscure beer hustler in the valley" to spread eagle on the front pages. He is now settling his accounts with the law.
 Baby Face" they call him. Not because his countenance is cherub- ic, or because he is tough baby but because of doll-like, infan- tile vacuity which is Willie's face and his misfortune. Most gangsters show something in their faces Doody's is a dead pan.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Presi- dent Hoover served public notice yesterday on the ship building cor porations interested in naval con- tracts that he would not tolerate interference by them in interna- tional negotiations for naval dis armament which he recently initi- ated.
 The announcement was made at the conclusion of a statement de- nouncing the methods which Wll- liam B.

 The corporations are now each building cruisers for the American navy. They are called upon by Hoover to state their side of the case in reply to allegations made by Shearer in suit he filed in the New York Supreme Court against the corporations for salary and expenses during, before and after the Geneva Conference.
 It is also disclosed that President Hoover has directed Attorney Gen. eral Mitchell to consider what ac- ton we can take" The President said that unless the companies could show an entirely different situation from that which is pur- ported in this suit, we are compelled to consider what measures can 'e proposed to free this country from such influence"

 FAIRBANKS, Sept. 7.-Sh0wing no trace of fear and mounting the scaffoId chanting the tribal death song, Constantine Beaver, Kusko- kwim Indian, was hanged this morning for the murder of Egnatty Necketta, at Whitefish Village, in December of last year.
 The trap was sprung at 4:i6 o'clock. The physician pronounced him dead nine minutes later.
 Until the last Beaver had hopes of stay of execution from Presi- dent Hoover, but he was told by priest an hour before the exc cution that no hope remained, and he resigned himself to his fate.
 Beaver bore up with forti.ssde and walked the short distance from the jail to the gallows unaided He broke into a chant as the black hood was adjusted and was still singing when the signals to spring the trap were given.
 It was the first execution here since 1921 when another native was hanged Cor murder.
 Nearly every legal means by which a stay might be obtained was exhausted.
 One stay was granted by Gov George A. Parks following Beavers conviction in order that an appeal flor executive clemency might be taken to President Hoover. The President refused to act and it be- came mandatory for the District Court to again pronounce the deatf sentence, as the jury which foune the Indian guilty made no recom' Imendation for leniency.
 The shooting of Necketta tool place during a drunken brawl, i was brought out by evidence in th' trial. It was said that Beaver under the influence of an alcoholi' drink which the natives made from "sourdough," shot Neckett; several times and that any of thu shots would have been fatal.

were worse. And now the Chi nese farmer is wondering where hlS winter provisions are coming from. To satisfy the city customer, mer- chants throughout South China contracted for September deliver ies of rice from Singapore, Siam and Indo-China. It is also anti cipated that there will be a sub stantial increase in American wheat flour imports, although money spent on luxuries and foreign made goods will be less than last year.
 Estimates of the first rice crop place the yield at between 20 and 40 per cent of normal. Coupled with the fact that there was a 7O per cent reduction in the yield of the second rice crop last fall, due also to drought, the shortage this year will have serious consequences l Rice farmers near rivers and ca nals resorted to irrigation and III their fields the crop is practically assured. Such fields, however, are few and far between and the cror they produce will be small com pared to the amount needed.
 The most lamentable fact about the situation is that the farmer will need two or three years to re- cover, granting that 1880 and l93l are good years. The majority arf too poor to carry reserve seed ane they farm year after year, trustins to luck that they will roduct enough grain to furnish food fol Ethe winter, seed for the next plant ing and, if extremely lucky, suf plus for sale.
