Making Our Own World" was his
topic.

we are most interested in," he said.
"Our thoughts tell US we cannot have
too much creation: yet scientists have
discovered 100000 species Of insects.
It would take 600 years to list them.
Because Of the huge task Of catalog-
ing what the world contains. we are
interested in what sort OF q world
science is shaping for itself"

RY BEN STERN.

Picturesque and tie-less, John A.
Jones, for years Republican boss Of
Grant county and considered one Of
the most astute party leaders in the
state, may be the wedge which viii
drive Senators Arthur r. Robinson
and James z. Watson still farther
apart.
Jones, sometimes known as the
"perambulating sphinx" because Of
his taciturnity, has been postmaster
Of Marion for two terms and his
present commission expires next
Jan. l. However, he wants to hold
on, not so much for the sake Of the
post, as the fact that q bitter fight
is being waged against him by the
Lindsay interests. publishers Of the
consolidated newspapers at Marion.
This deep-seated ennaity, which
may terminate in an entirely new
political alignment in Grant coun-
ty, had its inception in 1920, when
Jones read The Chronicle out Of
the Republican party.
From then on the war was re-
lentless and the paper succeeded in
defeating Jones county commission
ers for reelection.
y e
TOR years he had been the most
= prominent Republican figure in
the county. He was elected county
chairman in 1918, 1920 and 1922,
and also served as Eleventh district
chairman in 1902.
Many stories are being circulated
as to how Jones first was appointed
postmaster in 1923.
They tell me that in 1922 Jones
sought the postn1astership, but was
unable to qualify for the appoint
ment, so he had William D. Moss,
prominent Grant county c. Q. P.
politician, qualify and accept the
postmastership. Moss served from
March until December. Then he
resigned and Jones got the job after
resigning the county and district
chairmanships.
Opposing Jones for the postrnas-
tership Is Jacob Campbell, sheriff
during the Marion lynching episode
last August, who, because of this,
was not considered for head Of the
state refornatory.
g
7 EARNING, therefore, that there
IL would be no state position
available for him, Campbell, who is
county chairman, decided shat,
through virtue Of his Office, he
should be appointed postmaster.
This places him in the embarrass-
ing position Of fighting his former
political ally-but what does a little
thing like that matter to Jake?
For, as he has told his friends,
he would like to have the place
which rightfully belongs to me"
The Lindsay newspapers, although
not very warm toward Campbell,
consider that the tools do not mat
ter as long as the desired end
be accomplished and 50 are ex-
pected to support Campbell.
8 .
"A MEANWHILE, Jones in his o1ace
1V1in the postof1ce building, is
like some willy old spider busy weav-
ing a web.
This brings us back to Watson
and Robinson. Jones always has
been an avowed Watson man. Since
Albert Hall was defeated for re-
election to congress from the dis.
trict and Glenn Griswold OF Peru,
a Democrat, has the post, the pat
ronage for the Eleventh district goes
to the two senators.
Watson is expected to be for
Jones, and therefore, as the logics
professor once said, Robinson will be
"agin him.
Robinson may go for Campbell
or anyone else. because by opposing
Jones he expects to obtain the sup
port of the Lindsay papers, which
he will need greatly in the 1884
carnDaien.

STOCKS DEPRESSED

Leading Issues Sell Off ST to
$40, but Trading Volume
Is Light.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 29.-The stock
market was depressed 81 TO nearly $40
a share in the principal issues today
by the news of United States Steels
reduction of its annual dividend rate
to 81 from 81.
Trading was in comparatively light
volume, after little selling furry in
the first few minutes. but the market
continued to work slowly lower after
an opening drop.
United States Steel, which opened ut
1925, of $5.12, extended its loss to
81, but held more than So above the
years low, recorded early in June
Bethlehem Steel tumbled 81 q share
TO q new low since 1926, under 80.
Both United States Steel's dividend
acton and its quarterly earnings state
ment were somewhat more adverse than
Wall Street had been inclined to expect.
Bethlehem Steel directors, holding their
quarterly meeting tomorrow, are ex-
pected to make further downward ad-
justment of its current 81 annual divi-
dend rate.
Auburn Auto lost nearly $40. Most
losses in principal trading favorites,
however, were limited to 81 or 81.
Allied Chemical, American Telephone,
Atchison, American Can and Case lost
4 to 5. New York Central declined
about and there were losses Of to 3
in Union Pacific, National Biscuit,
Public Service Of New Jersey and
du Point.
Call money renewed at " per cent
The stock market had been prepared
for cut in the steel dividend, although
expectations generally were that the
rate would be revised to q IS, instead
of 81, annual basis. The lower figure
was taken as an indication that the
steel management, which includes some
of the country's most prominent bankers
and business men, believed the i'm
mediate prospects for the industry were
none too bright.
Nothing was learned from the direc-
tors as to their attitude toward wage
cuts, but it was assumed the corpora
tion'S policy of retrenchment. en-
phasized not only by the dividend slash,
but in the pay cuts applied to all
officers and salaried employees, did not
Immediately include a lower wage scale
for the mill workers. RumorS in Wall
Street, prior to the meeting, had it that
a dividend reduction would be the pre-
liminary move toward a wage cut.
In this connection 1t was pointed out
that the steel industry Is expecting q
seasonal upturn late in the Summer
probably in September, and that the
directors might have decided to await
developments before reaching definite
decision.

Lieut.. Letterman reported he went
to 100 First street southwest last night
and arranged with Frank Adams to
be in hiding nearby when Adams paid
Hospidor and Gore $40 for protection"
from arrest on liquor charges. Letter.
man added Hospidor and Gore drove
up in the formers private automobile.
The night inspector said Adams in
vited the men inside. but they refused
to leave their car, telling him they were
afraid they would be seen. The men
drove around the block. and when they
returned, Letterman disclosed, Adams
handed Gore two SIS bills.
Speith then jumped on the right
running board of HoSpidor's machine.
Hospidor started to drive away, paying
no attention to several warnings to
halt. Speith drew his revolver and
forced the driver to stop.
Money Thrown Away.
Meanwhile, Letterman said. Gore
had thrown away the money handed
him by Adams. Letterman said the
marked bills were found and held as
evidence.
Letterman said while he was search
ing for the missing bills Speith heard
Hospidor tell Gore, If they don't find
the marked money, they won't have
anything on us. will they?"
Letterman reported Hospidor ex-
planned his anxiousnesS to avoid stop
ping because he thought he would be
taken before the Trial Board for riding
in his personal machine, when supposed
to be on foot patrol duty.
Inspector o. T. Davis of the third
district forwarded Letterman;s report
to Maj. Pratt, explaining Letterman had
been assigned to the case as a result
of rumors that Hospidor and Gore had
been engaging in extortion activities.

Col. Lindbergh spent most of the
morning making certain that his ships
radio equipment was in perfect condi-

been replaced and final adjustments
made, the colonel and a radio engineer
circled over the airport to test the
instruments.

They communicated with the Pan
Juan, Porto Rico and Miami. Satisfied,
Col. Lindbergh landed. He and his wife
ate sandwich for lunch and then left
for North Haven.
Before proceeding, directly after the
take-off from the East River. the colonel
circled over the river to give Mrs. Lind
bergh an opportunity to see II the radio
instruments would operate as we'll for
her as they did for the engineer.
When she found that all the difficult
ties she had with the equipment during
their trip to Washington had been
eliminated, Col Lindbergn turned the
nose of his ship toward Maine and gave
it the gun"

A favorable tail wind indicated that

Some ones curiosity was responsible
for silencing the radio apparatus on

to Washington, it was revealed today.
Radio engineers, checking over the
instruments, discovered that three fuses
had been yanked out and dynamo
switch turned on while the Lindbergh
plane was resting in the East River

They deduced some one lettering
around the ship had decided to tune In
on its radio, and when he had turned
on the sending dynamo instead OF the
receiving switch he became alarmed at
the noise and proceeded to remove the
fuses.
