DEPRESSION FELT
 AT C0NEY ISLAND
Resort Makes No Money Despite
 Gut in Prices

New York, Sept. 16 UP)-Co- ney Island, greatest amusement place of the continent is losing money.
 Concessionaires at the famous playground say> this season has been their worst. Last year was bad, due to too-frequent rains, but this year there is nc excuse except that people are not spending.
 Tt takes $500 to see all the sights, but the average visitor to Coney spends under 25 cents," la mented an attache of the biggest amusement center. Prices have been reduced, but people aren't spending. Tourists seem to be on a budget, and most of them leave no more than S1.00 with us."
 Two reasons were given. One Is that all Business is dull, and amusements are the first to suffer. The other is that the middle-class patrons who used to go to Coney Island now drive in their low priced cars to more distant and less crowded beaches.
 50 many of the poorer classes who now compose the majority of visitors to Coney Island wear their bathing suits under their clothes - avoiding the cost of bath house - and bring their own lunches" the entertainment man mourned.

Louisville, Ky, Sept. 16 CP)-Ad- Geisking but denial that he knew anything of the murder of Jake" Lingle, Chicago newspaper reporter, was made here today by a suspect picked up in a vagrancy charge.
 Chicago detectives and an Indiana state policeman identified the suspect as Geisking. Then George Williams, Chicago detective, brought up man who he said saw Lingle shot down in. Chicago and saw the slayer flee.
 That looks like the man except his hair is different" said this man. His name was withheld by Williams.
 Geisking denied killing Lingle and said he did not even know him, but according to police he admitted he had been a whiskey runner and a hijacker. He was ordered held with out bond on a fugitive and murder charge.
 Geisking was arrested here Friday and held on a vagrancy charge and yesterday his bond first made at s5,- 900 was reduced to s1,000. Then De- tective Sergeant Cecil Essel who had picked him up, noted a resemblance to published photographs of Geisk- ing. As precaution a murder charge was filed and the bond auto matically raised to s5,OO0.
 When arraigned in police court, Geiskine was held without bond on the murder and fugitive charges and his examining trial was set for We'd nesday.

 Agabekoff added that the soviet considered Britain it's greatest enemy but warned that Cheka ac- tivities would increase in the United States, where he said the soviet government maintained secret agents with headquarters in New York. He said the Cheka in New York was behind the scenes in the American communist party, and kept in close touch with the lead CTS and administration of the party there.
 With his conscience thus turned, he fled from soviet vengeance and took his English f1nancee with him. He insisted he was one of IS direct ing the Cheka throughout the world. Among his other exploits, Ne boasted of procuring and decoding all confidential messages that had passed between the British high commissioner in Egypt and London.
 Agabekoff is now trying to gain permission to return to France, where asylum is usually given to political eXiles, but the stern step taken by the Paris police give him little hope. Without warning he was asked to report to headquarters. There he was informed that he was leaving the country. To be sure he would not go astray, he was de- tained until detectives went to his hotel and packed his belongings. Then he was escorted across the frontier. He was given no chance to communicate with his fiancee.

Secretary Ralph H. Benson of the Chamber of Commerce was notified today by R. J. Bennett, assistant gen. eral manager of the Connecticut Co. that the company has commenced the operation of a bus to Hartford leaving this city at 7:10 a. m. MT. Bennett's letter was in reply to a complaint made by local persons em- ployed in Hartford, following the re- cent change in schedule. that by leaving at 6:45 a. m. instead of 7:10 as previously. they were compelled to waste that much time unnecessarily in Hartford.
 MT. Bennett also stated that the company had tried operating a bus to Hartford leaving here at 1:10 p. m. but found there was not sufficient demand for it. A bus now leaves regularly at 5:10 p. m. for Hartford starting yesterday.

MOUNTAIN CULTURE
 FOUND BY PIANIST
Simple Folk Have Made Contri-
 button, Powell Says

Marion, Va, Sept. 16 (UP) - The thousands of persons who have worried over the lack of cultural education among Southern noun taineers have failed, wholly to rec ognize the fact tDat those same mountain whites have provided distinct and valuable part of the nations folk song, John Powell, in ternational famed pianist, be be- 1 lieves.
 The so-called smart set has been wasting it's pity and energy" Powell, whose home is in Rich mond, told the United Press dur ing a visit here. The uncouth mountain man is more cultured than his water-logged sympathiz- CTS. Preservation of his folk songs corrupted as little as may be by outside influences, is one of this generations important duties"
 While here, Powell spent some time copying words and music of many tunes played for him by mountain musicians, He remarked superiority of mountain culture while expressing enthusiasm for the naive songs.
 "1'o understand exactly my meaning, it is necessary to revise the average mans conception of culture,'' Powell explained. ITO most people culture means a sort of veneer acquired by laborious coming of books, which hides a mans native crudities. Millions believe a cultured man is one who puts on airs and tries to think he's better than anyone else.
 Instead, culture. in its true

Despite their rude way of living, they had a ha- tive graciousness and kindliness that was intuitive and not the re- suit of formal education. l came to know theseI. people and agree with Mrs. Green they were in the finest, broadest sense, folk of high cultFe.
 Mountain music is the nearest approach to folk music America has. If it be objected that it is rot indigenous to America. have only to say that neither are any or the white races inhabiting this continent. We must preserve this music before it is too late"
 Powell believes the mountain people are better off if ignored by the attentions of uplifting" out siders.
 The other night" he said, T addressed a music club, the mem bers were people of good standing who had expressed the wish to help the poor whites Suddenly asked for a definition of the Dorian mode. Only one or two members could define that musical term whereupon l told them that I could go into the mountains and find plenty of people who also could not define the Dorian mode but could sing beautifully in it-which the club members could not. That, I said, was only more evidence that the 'hill-billy' is intrinsically more cultured than his pitying we'll wishers.'

sense, is a mingling of the racial ness of a people, handed down for thousands of years, permeating the consciousness of the individual, while at the same time it remains an entity whole. And the man who is thoroughly saturated in the traditions and characteristics of his people - who knows, through the medium of folk song and lore the sufferings, achievements, and aspirations of his racial strain -is far more cultured than the ordi- nary educated person with book rarnin'."
 This definition of culture, Powell said. was first given him by Mrs. John Richard Green, widow of a prominent English historian. She did so, the pianist said, by shock ing him with references to the eX- tremely high state of culture of the very poor people who lived in a certain section of Ireland.
 At first I could make no sense to her remarks" Powell said. T knew those Irish existed in one or two roomed houses with mud floors; the pigs and cattle resided in those rooms on terms of com plete equality with people; and that when potato crops failed everyone confronted absolute star vation. Under such circumstances their principal food was chickweed cooked after being mixed with blood drawn from the family COW.
 But, Mrs. Green pointed out, many of those Irish could recite the complete history of their county from It's earliest days, with

not familiar enough with the usual
run of affairs at this site, Supt.
Pinkley insists that this dwell
ing is where a pit-dwelling ought

which are about a foot deep, are
made of caliche, plastered against
the earth which filled the interior
of the compound after it was aban-
dOned. We have not fully excavated
the pit as yet. The decorated pot
terry found in it is black-on- white,
except for one small piece of red
cn-buff. The design on one of the
large pieces of black k-on-white, a

These two items made the day
interesting enough but when a 200
pound lady visitor stood on the
edge of one Of our trenches and
the edge caved i'll, there was more
excitement. She was not hurt and
the cave-in did no damage. This
trench carrier in the day caved in

We do not see Mr.. Badger or any
members of his family. We find
fresh earth thrown up by him, but
he keeps out of sight. | am sorry
because l have never seen one of
the creatures.
Pit Dwellings Differ
Speaking of pit-dwellings, l had
supposed that they were circular.
They are in the Moapa valley of
Nevada. Here at Casa Grande
Ruins they are rectangular, with
rounded corners.
We were asked today: How did
you know where to dig to find
these walls?"
Refuse heaps are easily identi-
fled because they form mounds
and badgers in the course of their
borrowings bring up potsherds. The
surface of the refuse heaps are
quite plentifully covered with piec-
es of broken pottery. Sometimes
other objects are brought up by
badgers. When they burrow into
graves they often bring up beads
and other ornaments. Some very
worth while finds have been due
to this activity Of the badger.
Change Conclusions
Often-times the compound or
house to which the refuse heap be-
longed is southwest of the heap. So
a few years ago when members of
the park service were scouting
around they observed the refuse
heap which we are trenching and
tested the soil to the southwest.
They found what they took to be
the northwest corner of the COZ
pound, we decided that they hai
really found the northwest corner
of a pit-dwelling which had been
superposed on the compound after
it's abandonment. If this is true, we
have two pit-dwellings, both super
posed, whereas we expected, or
rather hoped, to find pit-dWellings
under the compound. We are much
interested.

not be surprised to see sudden
changes in conclusions. The writer

Denver's Ten Weeks

(t. Paul Dispatch)
Denver started out the year 1880 by staging q hectic
ten weeks for marital relations. In that period SOL
divorces were recorded and 4l marriages.
Movies and novels still wholesale the trials and tribula-
lions of those who cannot live without the mates Of their
choice. But in Denver those who could not live with
them actually outnumbered those who could not live
without them in the crowd that sought legal relief from
the pains OF romance. Denver gave Judge Ben Lindsey
local color for his Revolt Of Modern Youth" But he
reported only preliminary skirmishes. Here as the
casualty list of the real struggle.
OF course, 1t was an unusual ten weeks, and Denvers
exhibition Of nonchalance was abnormal. It Is later in
the year that Cupid gets his husbandry under way, and
the crop report Is not complete until 1t has been nur-
tured by the young mans sprtngtime fancy and garnered
IN the matrimonial harvest moon OF warm June evenings.
One never knows nowadays what crop Is going to run
to a surplus.
Still Denver's ten weeks is an exaggeration rather than
a denial OF the countrys condition. In 1928 there was
one divorce for each six marriages. and recent scat
tering returns are altering the proportion in favor of
the former. More and more romance is having its cul-
rnination in divorce. Cupid appears to be meeting a con-
diton OF surplus by Investigation of crop.
