GERMANY GIVEN
CONFIDENCE OF
WORLD POWERS
Assured by U. S., British
Statesmen of Ability
to Recover.
BY FREDERICK KUH
United Press STAFF Correspondent

BERLIN, July 28.-Germany's
leaders worked on plans to stabilize
the country's finances today, assured
by statesmen of the United States
and Great Britain that the powers
have strong confidence in her abil-
ity to recover.
A general feeling of optimism was
engendered by the visit Of Henry l..
Stimson, American secretary of
state, and Premier J. Ramsay Mac
Donald and Arthur Henderson, for
eign minister Of Great Britain.
Stimson left for London Mon
day, giving as parting message his
opinion that the German people
would find a way out of their diff
culties.
Macdonald Gets Ovation
His visit was followed by that of
Henderson and Macdonald. Mac
Donald, especially was given a tu-
multous reception on his arrival.
The two were guests at a dinner
given by chancellor Heinrich Brue-
ming, attended by German bankers,
industrialists, business men, politi-
clans and the members of the gov
ernment.
Macdonald, after telling the
gathering that the British visit was
in return for the visit of Bruening
and Foreign Minister Curtis to Lon
don, said:
Danish Suspicion"
''It also is intended to show the
world that Britain's confidence in
Germany is unabated. We are sin
cere admirers of the German people.
Even though all her difficulties are
not yet overcome, we are convinced
that if Germany continues her ef-
forts to save herself and does not
allow herself to be overcome by de-
spair, all other nations will help
her and will not see her perish"
Bruening. in welcoming the visit
ors, pleaded especially that interna-
tional suspicion be banished, so that
all could work together for the COM
mon welfare.

A THOUGH both principa al
L n speakers at the Second district
Democratic rally at Culver Tuesday
discussed national topics, the va
rious small group conferences were
devoted to local affairs.
Two subjects of particular in
terest were the fight for district
chairmanshir and the number of
candidates who will enter the lists
for the Democratic nomination for
congress.
Reports were current that instead
Of seeking the congressional honor,
State Representative DELPHI Nc
Kesson of Plymouth is aiming at
the district chieftainship. That
means that he will be forced to
tangle with Tom Mcconnell Of
Fowler, chairman of the old Tenth
district and prominent legionnaire.
McKesson brings to the fight the
prestige of the important post he
held as Democratic house floor lead
er in the last session, but that also
entails great deal of explaining on
his part as to the open charges
that his leadership was most dis
tinguished for the lack of just that
quality. Besides, DELPHI is said to
be rather unpopular personally be-
cause of native characteristics. Nc
Connell on the other hand had no
public record to explain and he is
the jovial, hail fellow well-met type
bound to make many supporters.
= II
Clay Metsker's anti-prohibition
address was hailed by many as a
| keynote for Charles Murphy's at
tempt again to win the Democratic
nomination for congress. Murphy
was the nominee last year, but was
defeated by a narrow margin by
Will r. Wood, veteran Republican
! congressman.
Through the gerrymander of the
district engineered by Henry Mar
shall, Lafayette publisher and close
friend of Wood, Lake county the
stronghold Of the vets, was made a
district by itself, while the entire
Second is intended to be rock-ribbed
Republicans.
Yet despite this, three others be-
sides Murphy are said to be in the
field for the Democratic congress
Sional nomination.
Those being mentioned include
Ira Tilton, Porter county chairman,
who is forced to call upon the state
committee for aid every time the
county is reorganized; Hugh Barn
hart, Rochester publisher and son of
Henry w. Barnhart, former Thir-
teenth district congressman, who
ranks high in the respect of the
party workers, and Dr. Guy r. Cof-
fin, Monticello physician, who is
more or less Of a new figure in state
politics.
Additions to the, field are expected
as campaign time draws nearer.
From appearances Of the gerry
mander, running for congress as a
Democrat in the Second district,
unless there is a phenomenal up
heaval, is about as forlorn a hope
as the chances of Indiana's football
team winning the Big Ten cham
pion next winter.

INDIAN SILENCE
BALKS SOLUTION
OF COED DEATH
Slayer Possibly Among the
SearCherS for CIeWS,
Authorities Admit.

By United Press
WHITE RIVER, Ariz., July 28--
The traditional silence OF the red
man appeared today to have baked
solution of the mysterious Staying
of Henrietta Schmerler, Columbia
university coed, who went to live
among the Indians to learn about
their habits and manners.
More than 1000 Apaches from
the Indian reservation on which
the crime took place we're in the
posses which searched the rugged
countryside for clews, but it was
freely admitted that the murderer
quite possibly was among the
searchers and that neither he nor
his companions would talk.
The weather, too, seemed to have
conspired to prevent investigators
from tracking down the slayer.
Death Scene in Doubt
A day before Miss Schmerler's
body was found in canyon a few
miles from her cabin on White
River, a thunderstorm practically
obliterated tracks at the scene, and
washed her body for some distance
down the gully.
I'VE can not say definitely if Miss
Schmerler was killed in the canyon,
because there are SC many different
ways her body could have reached
that spot" c. D. McCauley, Navajo
county attorney, declared.
He intimated Miss Schmerler
might have been beaten to death at
some isolated spot and her body
thrown into the canyon.
Although no suspects are being
held, suspicion hangs over practical
ly every Indian on the reservation,
it was said.
Indians Are Silent
The Apaches searched diligently
for clews, but if they found them
they remained silent and when
questioned answered only in grunts.
Miss Schmerler came here late
in June to study the life of the
Apaches and their language. De-
spite warnings to be careful, she
mixed unfortunately with them.
On July 18, she was to have at
tended an Indian dance at Ft.
Apache. She never was seen alive
after leaving her cabin that after
noon. Her body was found last Fri
day, covered with knife wounds and
badly bruised.

they we're requested to telegraph

BORIS PILNYAK ON
"a SON OF THE LAND

Boris Pilnyak, the we'll known
Soviet writer, who is now visiting
the United States, writes in his in
teresting short story about Tadji-
kistan:
a.. Where there is water are found
blooming GASES, gardens and plant
ations; where there is no water is
only emptiness and death. In an
cient times when conquerors came
to the land they did not attempt to
take the cities but merely destroyed
the irrigation bitches, leaving the
GASES and cities without water. The
imperial Russians were the last to
do this when they conquered Central
Asia. They turned their cannon on
the main canals"
"a Son of the Land" which deals
with this very phase Of life in the
East, is now showing at the Cameo

ORGANIZING THE
QUILT WORKERS
Strike Against Five of
Locked Out Shops

The Needle Trades Workers In
ustrial Union is organizing the quilt
workers in New York and vicinity
The Guilt bosses locked out the
workers from 5 shops, fearing union
control. The Quilt workers under
the leadership of the Industrial
Union answered with strike against
these firms, as well as intensified
drive for organizing the rest of the
shops.
The Guilt workers of New York
and vicinity, almost all of whom are
skilled hand workers. suffered ire
mendouS reductions in their wages.
These workers were at one time or
ganized under the United Hebrew
Trades, a yellow, Jewish Forward
racketeering clique These bureau
Gratis not only did do nothing for
these workers but prepared the
ground for drastic reductions in
their wages. The workers became
disguised with the United Hebrew
Trades bureaucrats and turned to
the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union for organization. The
Industrial Union at once started an
organization campaign and n a
short time made connections and
unionized the workers of the major
ity of the shops, and was preparing
to put forward demands for i'm
proved conditions.
Five Shops Locked Out.
Hearing of this. the bosses locked
out the workers from the five fol-
lowing shops: J. g. G. Quilt Co., A
w. 18th ST.; R. & T. Quilt Co., II
E. 22n ST.; N Sumner Grades &,
Son, % Jones ST.: Newark Quilt
Manufacturing Co., 1870 w. Market
ST.; The uiltex Co., ass Broadway.
Last night the locked out work
ers as well as the workers from the
other Quilt shops, met at the union
hall and decided to answer this
lockout with a strike for recognition
Of the union in all the shops. A
special price committee is now in
session working out set of de-
mands as a base for settling with
the bosses Instead of soaring the
