Wheat 'SWampS' Kansas

DODGE CITY, Kan, July g.
Kansas farmers had moved part of
the millions of bushels of wheat
they have on hand today when an
electrical storm swept this section
and caused a cessation of harvest
ing.
Railroads pressed thousands of
box cars into service to haul the
wheat to market, but were swamped
in the flood of grain. Elevators were
filled to capacity several days ago
and railroad yards, public squares
and even high school grounds we're
utilized for storage places.
At Sublette, county seat Of Has
keH county. six great piles of wheat
filled the lawn Of the consolidated
high school. Each pile was more
than a block long.

BIZ Times Special
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July 8. -
Police officials here read with inter-
est press dispatch from Miami,
Fla, telling of the escape of Henry
Davey from w. F. Fox, deputy
United States marshal. The officer
was en- route with Davey to Louis
vile, KY, where the prisoner was
to face trial in federaI court on
charges of counterfeiting money.
Fox left Davey in train coach
while he went to the steps to kiss
Mrs. Fox goodby, shortly before the
train was to leave the station. When
he returned, Davey was gone.
Escapes in Bad Money Case
DaVey, gunman and counterfeiter,
has home at Shelburn, twenty-one
miles south of here. He was sought
by police here three years ago at
the time the notorious Billy Evans
band Of counterfeiters was rounded
up, he being the only one escaping.
While the counterfeiters were be-
ing hunted, Davey bought load of
n1oonshine liquor in Kentucky, pay
ing for it with bogus $40 bills.
Several years ago, Davey was ar
rested at Mt. Carmel, Ill, charged
with a hardware store burglary. He
broke Jail, was later recaptured, and
served a term in the Illinois prison.
Surrendered After Robbery
The next chapter in his crime
career was the $4,000 holdup of the
Latta Greek mine payroll in Greene
county, Dusty Graham being his
accomplice. Davey was found at the
home of a relative in Shelburn and
after the house had been surrounded
by a posse he surrendered. He was
given a prison term.
Although hunted for three years
by officers here on the counterfeit
ing charge, Davey, they declare, has
not been seen once, although there
are reports from other sources he
had been here within the last three
weeks. Following his arrest in
Miami, police here sent authorities
in the Florida city a full history of
Davey's career in crime so far as
they know it.

RAINS CAUSE
HUGE STATE
CROP
Continued Wet Weather to
Be Disastrous to Wheat
Growers.
CORN is DAMAGED
Precipitation in City Since
July | Is 3.57
Inches.

Tremendous losses in wheat and
corn crops confront Indiana farmers
unless rains halt to permit harvest
ing and blowing, reports from all
parts of the state indicated today.
Anxiety was increased as the
weather bureau predicted probable
thundershoWers.
Already the damage has mounted
10 thousands Of dollars, according to
reports received by the Indiana
Farm Bureau Federation and county
agricultural agents.
Continued rains preventing farm
ers from getting into their fields
will be disastrous TO the 10000 wheat
growers in the state" said J. r.
Moore. farm bureau official.
Corn Suffers Damage
With favorable weather, harvest
ing would have been completed by
this time" said J. H. Arlington,
weather bureau chief for Indiana.
But actually. it is no ways near
completed"
Most wheat has been cut, reports
indicated, but many fields remain
uncut. with the wheat dead ripe
and threatening to shell out. Several
DAYS clear warm weather are needed
to dry out the fields and shocks.
In Marion county, most of the
wheat is cut. but continued rains
will cause it to sprout in the shock"
said Charles J. Murphy, assistant
county agricultural agent"
With fields inundated by frequent
downpours, corn has suffered the
greatest damage, it was said.
In Marion county alone, the loss
to corn in the White river bottoms
will be thousands of dollars, Murphy
said.
It was said many farmers have
turned their cornflelds into soy
beans because of the wet weather.
Unsettled for Tonight
The hay crop was reported I'M
usually good, but will suffer heavily
from further rains.
In indianapolis, rainfall since the
first of July has amounted to 3.57
inches, representing an excess above
normal of 2.90 inches. In the twen-
ty-four hours ending at this morn
ing the precipitation totaled 1.45
inches and pushed the excess pre-
cipitation thus far this year to 9.63
inches.
Unsettled with probable thunder
showers tonight and Tuesday, some
what cooler Tuesday" was the days
forecast for Indianapolis and vi
cinity. Local thundershowers also
we're predicted for the state.

SUICIDE NAMED
IN FRAUD SUIT
Edward J. Fogarty's Rela-
tive BeIittIes Case.
BY Times SpecinI

BD Times SDecidl
SOUTH BEND, Ind, July g.
Charges in a land fraud suit in
volving the late Edward J. Fogarty,
former Indiana prison warden, who
committed suicide here a month ago
are without basis, according to Ser
geant Edward Keller, of the local
police department, a relative of Fo-
garty.
The suit, filed by Mrs. Lydia Nor
man of Chicago in the Federal court
of southern Georgia, names as de-
PENDANTS Fogartys executors and his
associates in the Hoboken Land and
Development Company.
Mrs. Norman alleges she was de-
frauded of 100000. According to her
attorney, the plaintiff, IS, is penni-
less, although she was once worth
100000. 1t is alleged the suicide
was the result of threats by Mrs.
Norman to expose Fogarty in con-
nection with deal which she says
was to bring her 100000 for a tract
she owned in Georgia. A contract
was drawn up setting that figure,
but, according to the suit, it was
twice reduced, once to $4,000, and
then to $4,000, and only few
hundred dollars was ever paid.
"She will never get it," was KEEL
ler'S comment on the suit. Fogarty
killed himself at Keller's home. At
the time of his death he was warden
OF the Cook county Jail, Chicago.
1t was supposed political strife in
connection with his position and
overwork, had prompted him to end
his life.

General of 1894 Army
Fame Will Garry Big
Idea to Voters.
BY BRUCE CATION
NEA Sarvina Writer

MASSILLON, O., July 8.-Gen-
eral Jacob S. Coxey, who led for
lorn band of ragged job-seekers to
Washington thirty-f1ve years ago
and marched straight into trouble,
ridicule, and kind of folklore i'm
mortality, is about to go on the
march again.
A new CoXey's army is forming
forming for a 3,000-mile tour Of the
nation. 1t seeks the same distant
frontier that the Massillon general
sought thirty-f1ve years ago-better
times for the average man.
This group. however, will not
string it's ragged marchers along
dusty pixies, footsore and struggling.
It will travel in an automobile
caravan, with steam calliope to
tootle a quickstep ahead, big red
trucks, bearing, in large type, quo
tations from an Indianapolis Times
editorial, to carry the tent, and 5000
seats for Coxey's audiences-for this
is to be a speaking tour-a luxurious
foreign-built touring car as the gen.
erals chariot, and two big sleeping
car BUSES.
Direct to the Voters
Coxey is planning no descent on
the White House or Capitol, such
as he attempted with his famous
army of unemployed in 1894. He
is going direct to the people OF
twelve congressional districts, scat
tered from Maine to Utah, to spread
the gospel of his new plan to reduce
unemployment, promote prosperity,
secure good roads and wipe out the
public debt.
His reaching scheme is COM
paratively simple.
Briefly, it would enable cities,
counties or states-or the federal
government itself-to get all the
money needed without paying a
cent of interest charges.
And since, on many public jobs,
the interest charges come to more
than the cost of the jobs themselves,
Coxey figures that this would reduce
taxes, provide much more money for
necessary public works-thuS, in
turn, increasing employment and
stimulating industry.
His Plan in Brief
Here is what his plan provides:
A city, let US say, wishes to put
through an expensive street paving
program. Instead of issuing long
term bonds, it would deposit with
the United States treasury nonin-
terest- bearing twenty five year
bonds covering the amount of money
it needs.
The treasury, thereupon, would
issue bank notes for that amount,
and would deliver them at once to
the city, retaining l per cent to
cover the cost of printing, etc.
The city, in turn, would pay off
the principal to the treasury at
per cent a year. Thus, at the end
of twenty-five years, its bonds, held
by the treasury, would be Cancelled,
and the bank notes spent by the
city would be returned to the treas
ury, and retired from circulation.
The amount of bonds that any city
or other governmental unit might
issue would be limited to one-half
of the assessed valuation of its real
property.
The bill providing for all this was
introduced in the last congress at
Coxeys request, but was stif1ed IN
the house committee on banking and
currency.
Coxey now plans to visit the home
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-07-08

districts of each of the eleven con-
gressmen who voted to kill his bill,
and make speeches to their constit-
uents. In fact, he is going to visit
the home precincts Of one congress
man who actually voted for the bill,
for CoXey is not quite sure of this
Solon'S conversion.
A long, racy-looking foreign
touring car, driven by a colored
chauffeur, will carry General Coxey
on his tour. Then there will be a.
big sedan TO carry other members
Of his family.
Following these will be the two
sleeping-car buses, with berths
and kitchens. Then there will be
four great red trucks, with bright
yellow letters, setting forth the OBJ
ject Of the tour.
Bears Times Quotations
Coxey displayed these trucks
proudly. They bore slogans, quota
tons, copy of the bill introduced
in congress, and a quotation from an
editorial in The indianapolis Times
urging consideration of Coxey's
plan.
With General Coxey will travel
his wife and daughter, Miss Ruth
Coxey. Until recently Miss Coxey
was a member of the chorus in
Ziegfeld's "Showboat"
She plans to speak from the same
platform with her father. Her
chum, Miss Gwendolyn Lee Of Can
ton, o., another former ziegfeld
girl, will go with her.
