After Years.
By United Press

By United Press
MUNCIE, Ind, July 11.-Burial
was arranged here today for the
skeleton found in Central high
school airShaft, with authorities
convinced that the bones were those
Of Perlie Hogg.
Identification of jack knife
found beside the skeleton and the
tattered shoes, made by Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Cooper, Perlie's aunt
and uncle, left no doubt in the
minds Of officials that the victim
was their nephew.
Plans were made to bury the
bones in plot donated by a ceme-
terry association. Funeral expenses
were to be paid by the county and
a small marker provided by mon
ument firm.
The deStitate Cooper family said
they would not have been able to
provide burial for the youth, who
left their home Dec. Is, 1922, and
disappeared.
Coroner Clarence Piepho said he
would return a verdict of suicide. He
believed that the. boy, an orphan,
ended his life because of miserable
surroundings and constant poverty.
When he first disappeared after
starting for school, the Coopers
made only preliminary search,
concluding that he had run away.
They said they had no money to
conduct long search for him.
The skeleton was found when
plumbers went into the shaft to
make repairs.

Years Term.

SLIGHT L0oPHoLE LEFT
By United Press

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Albert
B. Fall, former secretary of interior,
today was denied relief from the
sentence of one year in Jail and
100000 fine imposed upon him as a
result of his conviction of having
taken a bride from E. L. Doheny in
connection with the lease of the
Elk Hills naval oil reserve.
Justice Jennings Bailey denied
the suspension plea in District If
Columbia supreme court.
But in denying the motion, Bailey
left the way open for possible con-
finement of Fall in a Texas prison.
Frank J. Hogan, counsel for Fall,
moved for suspension on the basis
of medical reports which showed
Fall to be suffering from several or
ganic ailments.
Bailey said he would entertain al
motion next Monday to amend
Falls sentence, originally set for
a year in Jail, so that it would come
within the authority of the attor-
ney-general to shift the place of
confinement to some place, such as
Ell PaSo, where the climate is more
suitable for Falls failing health.
The sentence, as it stands, would
require confinement here.
To give the department of iustice
the necessary authority in the mat
ter, the sentence would have to be
changed from one year to one year
and one day. A technicality of the
District of Columbia criminal code
would require the sentence to be
served locally unless heightened to
more than a year.
Fall was not present to hear the
words which mean he must 60 to

CURTIS HAND
IS NOTED IN
HOOVER BLAST
Tirade at Short Sellers
Believed Inspired by
e-PreSident.
CAPITAL IS INTERESTED
Watch Closely Conference
at Rapldan of Two
Leaders.
BY PAUL II. MALLON
Uaited Press staff Correspondent

ORANGE, Va, July 11.-President
Herbert Hoover had a chance today
for a conference with Vice-Presiden5
Charles Curtis, understood to have
been a prime mover in Mr.. Hooyer's
pronouncement Friday against
short sellers" in the wheat mar
ket.
Whether Curtis again will cast his
lot with Hoover in the 1882 ticket
has become a question all Washing
ton is discussing. The Vice-President
indicated sometime ago he might
be able to announce his intention
after a trip to Kansas.
He returned last Monday, went
before the federal farm board to
complain against its wheat policies,
but had nothing to say about the
vice-presidency. Some of his friends
have indicated he might desire to
return to his Kansas senatorial seat.
Resentment Is Deep
Although he feels deep resent
ment over the failure of the farm
board to promise that all its wheat
would be held off the market this
year, the vice president said he
would not take that matter to the
president.
He is understood, however, to
have been one of the prime movers
in preparing the Remuneration
which Mr.. Hoover delivered hate
Friday against short sellers in the
wheat markets.
Mr.. Hoover appealed to the pa
triotism of those who were selling
short. and urged them to desist in
order to hasten economic recovery
of the country.
II refer to q limited number Of
Spectators" the president said. Il
am not expressing any views upon
economics of short selling in nor
NAL times.
Has Public Interest
but in these times this activity
has a public interest. 1t has but
one purpose and that is to depress
prices. 1t tends to destroy returning
public confidence. The intent is to
take a profit from the losses of
other people Even though the ef-
feet may be temporary, it deprives
many farmers of their rightful in
come"
The President said he would like
to make public the names of the
short sellers if he were not for
hidden by law TO DO So He added
that he was not criticising "hedg-
ing" which he described as "a sound
part of our marketing system" In
the hedging" process. futures are
sold to insure against loss on pres
ent purchases.

The world is seen here at the
turning point, with its whole future
at stake. The conversations be-
tween Mussolini, foreign minister
Grand and Stlmson left little doubt
on that subject.
Everything depends on the course
which the half dozen leading powers
follow during the next twelve
months. The failure of the above
program due to the attitude of any
of these powers easily might tip
the scales the wrong way.
U. S. Is Key
The United States more ano
more is regarded as holding the key
to the situation. Her aloofness
from European family quarrels and
her position as the worlds mightiest
power make leadership imperative
if success is to crown the effort to
limit ornaments, abolish the para
lying fear of war and restore pros
perity.
Indeed the United States is re-
garded as holding the balance OF
power and as able by itself to turn
the scales.
Americas withdrawal of her CO.
operation after the World war when
Europe had based her hopes on
such cooperation came near to
wrecking what little the war had
left To this action the Europeans
attribute the delay in reconstruc-
ton which they say is the principal
cause for the present world depres-
sion and political unrest.
Today therefore it is regarded as
vital that the newly kindled hopes
shall not be disappointed. Optimism
on this side of the ocean is mount
ing. AS in President Wilson'S time
great hopes are pinned on America
In the belief that the country will
not turn back now until something
definite has been accomplished.
Results Were Disastrous
The Presidents stand on arma-
mentS, his debt plan, his sending of
StimSon and Secretary Mellon to
Europe, coupled with his repeated
statement that no nation can pros
per alone, but all must pull to-
gether to achieve lasting prosperity
all taken together mean but one
thing over here, namely that Amer
lea at last definitely intends to re-
sumo the leadership which a decade
ago she threw away with such dis
astrouS results both to herself and
to the world.
That Mussolini and Gandi share
these views with other leading Eu-
ropean statesmen was made clear in
remarkable declarations made to
the writer and others here. 1t is
their conviction that the world to-
day is at the crossroads.
One way leads to peace and pros
perity through arms limitation and
economic establishments which this
would bring. The other way leads
to war and bolshevism, or other up
heavals due to world diSillusionment
and despair. The belief is fast
spreading that America at last has
determined to lead the way out.

Mill IS MADE
FORT TO STEM
STRIKE RIOTING
State Troopers Sit at
Machine Guns Atop
Town Plants.
ARMED WITH TEAR GAS
Rhode Island Governor
Keeps in Touch With
Situation.

By United Press
CENTRAL FALLS, r. l., July II.
Machine guns were mounted atop
mill buildings today and state
troopers were armed with tear gas
bombs and riot guns to prevent re-
currence of the vicious strike rioting
which has resulted in many injuries
in the past thirty-siX hours.
Two new outbreaks, involving
more than 1000 strikers and SYM
pathizers Friday night, increased
the tension, which was relieved only
partly by the announcement that
the plant of the General Fabrics
Corporation, scene of a protracted
strike, would be closed indefinitely.
Efforts to operate this mill with
a few non-strikers started the riots
Thursday and Friday.
Use Military Tactics
Two of the machine-guns set up
today were mounted on the roof of
the General Fabrics Corporations
plant and the other was placed atop
an idle mill across the street. State
troopers pointed out that the guns
were so located as to prevent an
advance Of strikers on any Of the
streets leading to the mill.
Appearance of the machine-guns,
it was believed, resulted from per-
sistent rumors that Boston Com
munistS planned to come here.
These runnors were given some cred
ence by authorities in view of other
reports that a motor truck loaded
with tear-gas bombs and small arms
and ammunition was en- route from
Boston to the local Communist
headquarters.
State troopers and police of sew
eral communities watched interstate
highways today for the ammunition
truck.
Orders were issued this morning
that no crowds would be permitted
to gather at any point near the
strike zone.
Militia Call Doubtful
Meanwhile arrangements were
made to keep Governor Norman S.
Case Of Rhode Island in constant
touch with the situation, while it
was considered doubtful that he
would find it necessary to call out
the militia, authorities did not seek
the seriousness Of conditions.
The strike at the General Fabrics
plant began May 8 last when be-
tween 700 and 800 operatives walked
out. Approximately 500 of them are
affiliated with the national textile
workers union, the Communist or
ganization which has directed the
demonstrations of the past two days.
The strike resulted from re-
arrangement of the wage scale and
working conditions, the principal
protest of strikers being that where
as they formerly operated only four
or five looms each, some were
obliged to operate as many as
fifteen looms under the new system.
The strike at the Royal Weaving
Company'S plant in Pawtucket also
has been in process for some time.

Council Nearly Is Bankrupt
From Relief Expenses;
Hope for Loans.
BY PAUL WEBER
United Press STAFF Correspondent

DETROIT, July 11.-More than
800 homeless hungry men carrying
their worldly goods in paper bags
or knotted handkerchiefS, roamed
the streets Of Detroit today, turned
out Of the city's free lodging houses
because the city is out of funds.
At the order of the city council
nearly bankrupt by relief ex-
penditures-the last of the free
lodges for unemployed single men
was closed Friday night. Out of its
shabby doors filed $50 joblesS men
who have the alternative for seeking
their living on the streets or be-
coming inmates of the county insane
asylum and poor farm.
Meanwhile, it was announced
that by virtue of the drastic cut in
relief experimentation $14,000,0 900
last year to a 100000 limit for
the fiscal year just begun-the city
probably will be able to Stave off
financial disaster through a $780,
100000 loan from banks and auto
mobile plants.
Auto Firms to Aid
The Chrysler Motor Corporation,
the Packard Motor Company and
the Fisher Finance Corporation and
possibly the Ford Motor Company,
will underwrite loans to be made by
local banks, City Controller C. Hall
Roosevelt said.
Unless this money is obtained, the
city will find itself before the end of
the summer, unable to meet short
term obligations totaling nearly
$60,000,000. This sum was borrowed
from the Ford company and other
agencies to pay current expenses,
the treasury having been drained by
tax delinquencies totaling $11 900, 900
this year, and a two-year dole cost
Of $18000,000.
A pathetic appeal by a delegation
of the homeless men failed to move
the council. The delegation asked
only that food be provided, and Of
fered that the men themselves
would clean the bedding, cook the
food, and maintain the lodging
house.
This is the worst mistake the
council could have made" said
Mayor Frank Murphy, whose veto
OF the closing order was overruled.
Listen to Communists
Evidence of the possible trend of
affairs was seen Friday night in the
actions of the jobleSS men as they
left the lodging house in silent.

uteS the crowd eddied about the
building. There was little talk and
the atmosphere was one of tired
resignation. Here and there a white

weakly on the curbstones.

been admitted this week.
