 AT PALACE TONIGHT

Louise Fazenda, for years the pre- miere comedienne of the screen, has suddenly found new niche for herself
 Her great success in a gripping mystery special, The Terror" and has given her the central role in another even more eerie thriller, "The House of Horror which is to head the bill at the Palace Theatre starting tonight.

GEORGIA FARMERS SPEND
 S29,O0O,0O0 ON FERTILIZER

ATHENS, Ga, July 9,-Georgia farmers spend 10 per cent of their income for commercial fertilizer, according to John L. Anderson, ex- tension economist in marketing at the Georgia state college of agri- culture.
 The cash value of Georgia crops for 1929 was s262 900 900, an in- crease of $29 100000 over 1928. The fertilizer bill was about $26,2o0,000.
 This is a rather large percentage of income for commercial fertilizer, says Anderson. He urges that it be made a supplement to soil im- provement by the use of legumes and livestock on farms.

DROUGHT ENTERING
 ITS FIFTH MONTH
All Records Broken as Dry Spell
 Reaches NorthWard

Washington. Sept. 5 (UP) - The, United States today is entering into it's fifth month of a drought which officials consider to exceed in se- verity previous droughts in this country.
 Scant rainfall was first noted in May. the weather bureau informed the United Press. Agriculture de- partment experts, however, explain ed that fairly normal growing con- ditions continued through June.
 In July the heat and increasingly deficient moisture began to reduce crop prospects. Acreage generally was greater than in previous drought periods and this margin probably will maintain crop returns above the low levels of 1901 which up to this year set the drought record for the United States.
 Springs Not Revived
 Vice Chairman Stone of tAe fed eral farm board said the drought had been relieved in some parts of the country by August rains. He pointed out. however. these rains generally had served merely to freshen pastures and had not re- vived dried creeks and. springs.
 Secretary of Agriculture Hyde investigated August rainfall and found it deficient in 26 states. most 1f Arkansas obtained only IS per cent of it's normal August rainfall. Re- ports of rainfall only 75 or 50 per cent of normal were numerous. l Extension of the dry area into northern Illinois. Wisconsin and Minnesota led Hyde to suggest a new drought period may be in pros pect for the northern tier of states.
 Wheat Escapes, Corn Suffers Wheat, which natures compara- lively early. escaped most drought l damage and the country is con- fronted with serious overproduction of that grain. Corn, staple product of most American farms, has suf- fered tremendously. Drought re- duced corn prospects from 2,so0 = | 100000 bushels on July i to 2,Z00,- i 100000 on August l. Agriculture department officials expect the Sep Member 10 crop report to show fur ther reductions.
 Reports here show that In the most severely stricken areas there is neither sufficient feed nor water for stock. So far 7o3 counties in 13 states have been certified by Hyde to' receive emergency freight rate

OF STATE
 AND CITY BATTLE
Nine Arrested After Free-ior-All
 in New Orleans

New Orleans, Sept. (UP)-A fierce battle between highway po licemen and New Orleans police broke out at political rally held by Governor Huey P. Long in the heart of the business district last night.
 Nine state policemen were arrest ed. Sergeant Lionel Escude was fined s25 or 30 days in jail. He appealed. The others were freed.
 The riot started when state police took charge of directing traffic past the meeting place. James E. Cripps, supervisor of city police, demanded that the state officers stop interfer- ing with the work of his men.
 An argument followed, and Ser geant Escude grappled with Cripps. A -for-all fight ensued, with night-sticks and blackjacks used freely by both sides. Reserves final ly broke up the fight after it had begun to assume major proportions, with citizens taking sides.

fixed task. When that is completed, nothing is in sight to take its place.
 The day when the general land office had for distribution hundreds of thousands of fertile acres is gone. They are farms, towns and cities now. The cream of the reclamation s service work has been done and the vast area west of the Ohio river is disposed of save for few patches of desert and rocks.
 Indians Now Competent A
 The Indian service is another ex- ample. Secretary Wilbur believes it should cease to exist in 25 years, with it's work complete. A study made in the northwest recently, to determine if it were feasible to cut down activities among the Indians now, yielded a report that about half of the So,0o0 wards of the govern ment might be given certificates of competency, and dropped The geological survey is still in operation but has lost it's only grow ing offshoot. the bureau of mines, to the commerce department. With the establishment of the new veterans administration, the bureau of pen sions, which had spent nine-tenths of the appropriations for the de- partment, passed from interior jur- isdiction. The patent office was transferred to the commerce depart ment while President Hoover was commerce secretary.
 There is only one other bureau the office of education-but it seems congealed between a policy of re- stricted activity and movement for creation of department of educa- ton.
 Some sentiment exists for trans ferring to the interior department the forestry service and the biolog- ical survey of the agricultural de- partment, because of their relation to the national parks and public lands, and also the public health service, now >the treasury depart ment.

BOOZE RUNNERS
OPERATING HUGE
FLEET OF SHIPS
Rum Row Battles Led to
Deaths and Trials;
Patrol Goes On.
BY MORRIS DEHAVEN TRACY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

United Press STAFF Correspondent
NEW LONDON, Conn, Jan. g.
Although rum row. as 1t was
known a few years ago, has been
broken UP, there is a feet of ap-
proximately $50 ships at work sup
plying liquor from foreign ports to
the northwestern Atlantic coast, &C
cording to coast guard officials here.
1t was against this fleet that the
New London coast guard directed a
drive during the holidays which
Melted four important ships cap
tured, and about $4,000 quarts OF
whisky, wines, brandies and cham
payne seized.
AS q, result of that thrust against
liquor smuggling three men were
killed in the seizure of the rum
runner Black Duck; tWenty-four
coast guardsmen now are being
court-martialed for being under the
influence Of liquor and fifteen for
differing liquor from the cargo OF
the Flor Del Mar, one of the seized
ships.
Ten Plead Guilty
Ten of the thirty nine men under
charges already have pleaded guilty
and the remaining cases will be dis
posed of as rapidly as the clerical
work of preparing the charges can
be accomplished.
1.-The coast guard does not take
the matter of the theft OF liquor
by its men as any light affair,
Lieutenant Chalker, commander OF
the coast guard base here, told the
United Press. "I am ashamed OF
it. But, in justice to our service, II
should be pointed out that no man
under charges is ranked as high as
q petty officer; the veteran OF the
lot only has about three years serv-
ice. and most of those who part1c1-
pated were mere boys, 10 and ~
who have been in the service only
two or three months"
The coast guard here worked out
plan of concentrating its attack
against the liquor smugglers over a
period of a week or ten days at the
holiday season when the smugglers
would be the most active.
Three Men Killed
It was in the course Of that cam
paign that the Black Duck was cap
tured after three men had been
killed and the Flor Del Mar was
taken off Montauk Point, burning
and abandoned. The liquor which
disappeared was from the Flor
Del Mar, but coast guard officers
point out that none of it was found
in the possession of men involved
in the capture Of the boat.
Proceedings in the general court
martial of the men against whom
charges were made continued today
with the court, headed by Com
mander M. L. Ryan, taking up each
case separately. The names of the
accused men are not being made
public.
While the court martial proceeds,
however, the patrol of nearby waters
for rum runners continues. Ships
move daily in and out of the base
to take up their patrol.
Most of the liquor, officers here
say, now comes from the French
island of st. Pierre Miquelon, lying
south of Newfoundland.
