GLACIER PARK, Mont, Nov. 20.
-Blackfeet Indians will eat buffalo
meat this winter. The strong food"
on which their warlike ancestors fed
has been denied Indians as we'll as
white men ever since the near
determination of the bison at the
end of the wild West" days.
Now, however, the government
protected herds in Yellowstone Ma

numerous than their natural range
warrants, and surplus animals have
to be disposed of every year. This
year, the Blackfeet on the reserva-
ton near here are facing a. lean
winter because graSshoppers and
drought took too heavy a toll on
their lands last summer. So Super
intendent Aven Scoyen of Glacier
National Park, has arranged to have
100 old bison supplied to the In
dams, to be killed for meat.

CERMAK DENIES
ANY OPPOSITION
To ROOSEVELT
Chicago Mayor plays Safe
Behind Lewis Favorite
Son Candidacy.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press stan Correspondent

ANopNtlRnl. 1881. bY United PreSs)
CHICAGO, Nov. 20.--Mayor An
ton j. Cermak, king-pin of the
powerful Illinois Democratic organ
ization, denied today he is a party
to attempts of some party wheel
horses to keep Governor Franklin
d. Roosevelt from winning the
presidential nomination
Il have been no party to the
Stop Roosevelt movement, if such
exists. I am neither for nor against
Roosevelt or Ritchie. I am for our
own candidate, Senator Lewis"
It is said generally by politicians
that Cermak is hiding behind the
favorite son candidacy of Senator
James Hamilton Lewis until he
knows where he wants to take the
Illinois delegation at the Demo-
cratic national convention.
OF course. nobody would expect
a man like Tony Cermak to admit
that. For the present, Cermak is
for Lewis for President, and you
can draw your own conclusions.
There's one thing I am very
much interested in" he said. That
is that the party in its platform OPP
pose prohibition. The Democratic
party can not afford to pussyfoot.
I'm for letting states which want
to be dry go on being dry and for
letting states that want a change
to have it.
Il don't care how they work it
out but that is what we ought to
stand for. The party shouldn't
overthrow the many followers of
Governor Smith who feels as he
does about prohibition. Richie is
wet enough.
Smith asked Roosevelt to run on
his own ticket and that ought to
convince anybody that Roosevelt is
wet enough to satisfy Smith. I
don't know what Smith intends to
do, but I believe he will be found
supporting Roosevelt in the end"
Whereupon Cermak lifted half
glass of milk and drained it down.
Cermak is a new figure in the ma
tional political gallery. Everybody
in Illinois knows him and knows
his power. He has been running
for public office since 1902 and in
those thirty years he was beaten
Just once-for senator in 1928
though he ran ahead of Smith and
the rest of the ticket.

ROBINSON TO FIGHT
FOR TARIFF CUT
Senator Watson Given An

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. July 10
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Demo-
cratic leader. said in a statement today
an effort will be made when Congress
reconvenes to reduce tariff rates.
His statement was in answer to one
issued yesterday by Senator Watson Of
Indiana, Republican leader, challeng-
ing the Arkansas Democrat to assume
leadership in fight to make serious
revision" \ In the Hawley-Smoot tariff
law.
Il feel justified in replying that when
the Congress convenes an earnest eff
fort Will be made to reduce tariff rates,
which, in the sound Judgment of bust
ness men and economists. have tended
to restrict foreign markets for Amer
lean products and to inspire retaliatory
measures on the part of foreign coun-
tries" Senator Robinson said.
Resentment Is Recalled.
HAS the Senator from Indiana for
gotten the resentment which the
Smoot- Hawley train act of 1890
aroused in certain countries numbered
among the principal customers for
American-made goods?
Does not the Senator realize that
the true test of the value of the pres
ent tarlH Is not whether 1t has
slaughtered export or import trade.
but rather whether it has tended to
diminish the demand for American
made products and the purch asing
power Of the consumers of such prod
ucts This I believe to be true as to
both foreign and domestic consumers
and is exactly why present tariff rates,
MANY of which are subSta ntially pro-
hibitive, are important factors in caus-
ing existing depression"
Prediction of Prosperity.
Senator Robinson said Senator Wat
son lis the same Republican leader
who, on the floor of the Senate Just
before the Smoot-Hawley bill passed,
declared that it's enactment would cause
the return Of prosperity to the United
States within 80 days.
Surely the country will not place
its confidence in such leadership

Wounded Foe Saved by Battle Of

NEW YORK. July '10.-An attemp.
by a gangster foe to reach Anthony
Mignogna as he lay wounded in Trinity
Hospital, Brooklyn. today. was foiled,
police said, by Mignogna's henchmen
who were guarding the hospital.
Just before dawn nurses heard burst
of pistol fire outside the hospital gates,
and from the windows saw one man.
apparently pursued by four others, rush
up the steps and enter the building
where Mignogna is being treated for
wounds suffered last Tuesday when he
was fired upon.
AS the men. all OF whom carried
drawn pistols. sprang up the stairs to
the floor on which Mignogna known in
underworld and police circles as Tony
Mongno. lay helpless in bed. a nurse
Screa AIMED and the pursuing four turned
and fed. The other. however, ran up
and down the corridor, looking into
rooms in evident search of his quarry.
AS the police were being called two
of the four who had left re-entered the
hospital, grabbed the fifth man from
behind and carried him bodily to the
street. There, with the assistance of the
other two. they hurled their prisoner
into Mignogna's own automobile, which
had been standing at the curb since he
was driven to the hospital in it, AMI
drove away.
The police theory was that the man
first to enter the hospital had come to
finish the work Mignogna's enemies had
failed in when they opened fire on him
Tuesday from a passing car. The four
other men. police believed, were hsnch-
men of Mignogna stationed at the gates
to prevent just such an attack.
