RATE
ISSUE LOOMS

SOUTHAMPTON. N. Y, Aug.
S QN.S0-The electric rate bat
tie that has ragged for months in
New York today promised to as
sumo national proportions, with
the possibility that it might be-
come a national campaign issue
in 1882.
The Democratic party may go
into the 1892 fight with SOme
such slogan as Help keep ex-
penses down." 1t was forecast by
political wiseacres, after specula-
tions on the portent of long secret
midnight discussions here between
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt,
former Governor Alfred e. Smith
and John j. RaSkob, Democratic
national chairman.
The Governor said that protec-
ton Of houSeholders against high
electric rates would be a domin-
ant political issue of the next
State campaign, and probably of
the next Presidential electrion.

Inventories Cut

The vacation shut down Of the
automobile industry has reduced
stocks of new and used cars in
dealers hands to a minimum.
This places the industry in a
stronger position and geared to
meet the requirements Of the
buying public.
In past periods Of business re-
cession large inventories have
been one Of the chief factors in
retarding the recovery.
What is true In the auto In.
dustry is true in most every line.
Stocks of merchandise have been
reduced to minimum. When the
normal buying demand returns.
the recovery of business will likely
be fast.

While there is nothing at this
time to indicate solutions in any
of the cases, the jurors will hear law
enforcement officers reports on in

Medlock Case Scheduled
Among the cases is that of Ellis

body was found in heavily-wooded

county after he had been missing
several weeks. There was a wound
in the back of the head, apparently
inflicted by a blunt instrument. 1t
is said Medlock had been dealing in
liquor.
Tragedy followed an investigation
OF the case several months ago,
when three brothers were suspected.
Only one, Robert Hendrickson, is
now living. One of the brothers
died of injuries received while
working in a quarry and the other
committed suicide at his home in
Chandlerville.

holdup men had inflicted the fatal
wound, but later developments

ChriSty was the victim of an enemy.
The list of unsolved Sayings also
includes the Campbell and Oliphant
cases. In the former a Dolan store
keeper was shot during a robbery.
The body of Oliphant was found in
his automobile in the southwestern

Moo Speech
Cow Is Speakers Table
Guest as Governor of
Wisconsin Talks.

p CHiCAGO, oct. IA COW, the
~ kind that moos, was guest of
honor at the speakers table in the
Hotel La Sale Wednesday, when
dairymen of the midwest gathered
to hear Governor Walter j.
Kohler Of Wisconsin speak on
milk production.
The COW, Pabst Creator Korn-
dyke Heather, is something Of an
expert on the subject, inaSmuch
as she has been winning prizes
during the last five years for her
owner, Fred Pabst, Milwaukee
cheese manufacturer. One year,
for instance, she gave $4,000
pounds of milk.
So Heather chewed her cud con-
tentedly while the Governor out
lined the dairy situation in the
midwest.
Atmosphere of a metropolitan
hotel confused her not one whit.
