KoehIer on Witness Stand
to Deny Charge of High
Campaign Spending.
QUIZZED ON LETTERS
Political Pilgrimages Were
Invited Is Charge
Hurled by State.
BY WILLIAM r, SMITH
United Press STAFF Correspondent

SHEBOYGAN, Wis, April 23.-
Wisconsin's Governor assembled to
the witness stand in his custer trial
here today permitting the prosecu-
ton to question him about charges
brought by the La Toilette progress
sive faction that he spent too much
money in his campaign for nomina-
ton.
Governor Walter j. Kohler
waived his constitutional rights,
claimed by his attorneys, and ap-
peared before a jury of his fellow
townsmen to answer the states
questions regarding his campaign.
Hatold M. Wilkie. states attorney,
questioned the Governor concern
ing preliminary plans for his cam
paign.
Wilkie, the Governor, and his
counsel engaged in heated con-
troversy over attempts of Wilkie to
secure an admission that the
Governor invited political pilgrim
ages" to the village of Kohler.
Id IEGSSGS
isn't it fact that you wrote out
letters inviting them to come"
Wilkie asked.
II don't believe So" Replied Koh-
Ter.
Wilkie attempted to show that
the purpose of the invitations was
to advance Kohler'S candidacy.
Upon questioning of the Gov
ernor's counsel, he disclosed that
his purpose was to show that cost
of the messages and the entertain
ment properly was political cam
paign expense not reported by the
Governor.
The trial began with Walter y.
Corrigan, special states, attorney
presenting the states case.
Governor Kohler has been
brought to trial on charges of
violating the states corrupt practices
law through excessive expenditures
in his campaign.
The accusations were pressed by
the La Toilette progressive faction,
LED Dy FQllup r. AdrOuetUe, WHO ID
expected to be the Governors
opponent in the Republican primary.
La Toilette has not appeared at
the trial as yet, nor have other pro-
gresSiye leaders.
Huge Expenses Claimed
Corrigan declared the prosecution
would prove the Governor spent far
in excess of the $4,000 limit imposed
by law for campaign expenditures.
The state asserted it would prove
that Governor Kohler's huge indus
trial plant in this county served { )
a political headquarters, furnishing
assistants paid by the company, In
GLIDING the Kohler band which ac-
companied the company's executive
on different speaking engagements
of his campaign.
These expenses borne by the COM
pany we're repaid later by political
groups or members of the Cover
nor's family, Corrigan said.

Hack Wilson, Man
kewYorkDropped,
lis Home Run King
Pudgy Cub outfieIder Swats No.
~ to Tie Babe Ruth for.
Present Season .

Chicago. Aug. 27.-(AP)-Hack
Wilson, the man the New York
Giants once forgot, is the new home
run king Of the National league.
The pudgy Cub outfielder ascend
ed to his throne during the seventh
inning of the Chicago-P Pittsburgh
game yesterday when he belted one
Of Larry French's southpaw slants
into the right field bleachers at
Wrigley field for his forty-fourth
circuit smash of the season, one
more than the all-time record es-
tablished a year ago by "Chuck"
Klein of the Phillies.
The blow not only helped the
Cubs defeat the Pirates, z to s, and
hike their lead over the Giants to
five and one-haf games in the Ma
tional league pennant struggle, but
tied Hack with Babe Ruth in the
fight for home run honors of the
major leagues for 1880.
Twenty-eight of Wilson's homers
this season have been made at Wrig-
ley field with 16 on foreign fields.
Wilson, a p%onderous fellow despite
his five and one-half foot height,
broke into the majors in 1923 when
he joined the Giants. Although he
batted fairly well. he was released
to the Toledo club Of the American
association. There he was q sensa-
ton with a .343sbatting average but
the Giants forgot him and the Cubs
grabbed him via the draft in 1926.
His first year with the Cubs found
him in front Of the growing home
run brigade with 81 four base blows.
The next year he hit 80 and in 1928
he batted out 81 to tie for first place
in the home run race. While Klein
established his National league rec
ord last year with 43, Wilson banged
out 80.

THRESH|NG RETURNS
show BIG YIELD IN
RED RIVER VALLEY
Conditions Spotted, Says Farm.
ers Union Survey; Western
Section Hardest Hit

T~hreshing returns from farms in
MINNESOTA and eastern North Dakota
nave been running considerably heav-
Ter tina early estimates with quality
o. grain excellent, the Farmers Union
Terminal Association says in its
weekly crop report today.
The harvest has been the earliest
IN the memory of many veteran grain
men," the survey says. LAS a result,
the receipts Of 1880 wheat at Min
nesota terminals have been the larg-
est Tor August Of any year that many
grain traders remember for wheat
grown in the same year.
"One ~unfavorable result of the
heavy August receipts of grain in the
Minnesota terminals is that it has
tended to depress prices but grain
traders generally think that the ef-
fects of the heavy arrivals have been
discounted by the action Of the
market.
Yields of wheat and some other
grains in eastern North Dakota also
nave been larger than was anticipate
ed, with unusually favorable results
IN the Red River Valley in both Min
nesota and North Dakota.
While crop conditions in Mime
sofa have been considered fairly
favorable, yields on all crops are run
ming ahead Of expectations, though
prospects for flax are rather Door
and for potatoes only fair. The early
hay crop was quite large and sweet
clover and alfalfa fields generally are
IN fair condition. While there was
considerable drouth damage to corn,
1t is largely in spots and the pros
pective yield for the state is large.
Alfalfa and sweet clover particularly
have proved their worth in providing
feed for livestock, as other pastures
are pretty well burned up.
Rains Help Pastures
Fairly liberal rains in North Da-
kota have improved pastures but
moisture is needed for pastures and
fall feed. Harvesting is generally
finished and threshing from shock
and stack is far advanced due to dry
weather, which at least is favorable
for garnering the grain. Corn has
gone backward and late planted o
will be good only for fodder pur-
poses. Potatoes and garden vege-
tables are poor. Wheat yields gener-
ally have been running from S to IS
bushels in the state, except for the
Red River Valley and some other
favored sections Of eastern North Da-
kota, where yields as high as Is to 80
bushels an acre are reported.
Around Sheyenne and Eddy coun-
ty, North Dakota, weather has been
unfavorable for corn and feed crops.
Flax is showing no improvement. Hay
crops are below average, barley and
oats below normal and conditions un-
satisfactory with pastures short and
drying up fast.
Crop conditions are spotted and
far below normal in western North
Dakota and most Of Montana, though
there are areas in both of these e
lions which will produce fair crops.
The feed situation is serious In this
area.
"A report from the State Depart
ment of Agriculture of South Dakota
says ORR has deteriorated greatly.
AS an example of the early harvest,
it was stated that go per cent Of the
wheat had been harvested by August
is, compared with Al per cent In 1929
and % per cent in 1928 at correspond
ing dates"
