positive that the gun was not his
property, that he made no attempt
to hold-up the complaining witness
or had threatened to shoot him. The
defendant, employed by the city's re-

spell was contained in reports that
hundreds of persons were in hospi-
tails after being Frustrated.
Health authorities said the toll of
deaths and damage may be in
creased greatly before the heat wave
ends in the East. Most of the re-
ports contained in to-day's survey
were obtained from the midwest,
where cooling winds and thunder
storms have brought some relief.
More than $50 persons died after
being Frustrated from the heat dur
ing the past eight days, in which
temperatures of 95 degrees and
above were not unusual, the survey
showed. An almost equal number
of fatalities from drowning and dis
eases aggravated by the heat also
were reported.
The most staggering loss of life
was in Chicago, where 36S persons
died of causes directly or indirectly
attributable to the heat. OF that
number, SO died from the effects of
remaining too long or exerting
themselves too strenuously in the
scorching sunshine.
The heat wave was centered to-
day in the Ohio valley and over
vast section to the eastward. In
diana received the full force of the
hot spell yesterday and 81 deaths
were reported.
Lafayette, Ind, had a temperature
of 1913, the highest since August 5,
1918, and many recordings in the
middle COS or higher were made.
Agricultural experts said that the
heat wave ultimately may result in
additional millions Of dollars dam
age to crops. In many districts, 1t
was pointed out, the heat has dried
out fields and pastures and unless
rain is forthcoming soon drought
conditions will prevail.
1t was estimated that Nebraska
farmers will lose $3,50O,000 because
OF damage done to their crops. Sew
eral thousand farm families were
reported in need of Red Cross aid
in the Dakotas.
Although the heat wave generally
was considered broken in the mid
west, sWeltering temperatures were
reported from several states. Obin-
son, III, had los above yesterday
and Oklahoma City had 1902.
Practically the entire nation east
ward from the Rocky mountains
has sweltered in the heat wave since
it started more than a week ago.
Temperature records of more than
so years standing were broken and
in some cities weather observers
said it was the most severe hot spell
OH their records.
Here is a list of states and cities
from which We're reported the larg-
est numbers of deaths from the

DOdds After Swindlers-
Vice-President Curtis,
Kept the Law Away From

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

l
Washington, July 3.-(UP)-It

Nugent Dodds.
Dodds is a pleasant man, though
thoroughly seasoned in the ways
of high-powered financial slight
of hand tricksters. He recently
broke up the F. H. Smith Invest
ment company racket, a $50,000,0O0
concern here that obtained $4,000
customers largely by nationwide
advertising with pictures of it's i'm
posing building in the heart of

head of this concern is under is

NOTED to assistant attorney general
for his work on this case.
announced this week he had as
signed Dodds to direct the nation
wide activities against fake stock
and mortgage operators. At that
time he told the United Press that
this and other recent actions Of the
federal government against the cru
der racketeers and gangsters were
chiefly to show local communities
what could be done where there was
really a will to do it. But If this
activity is going to be merely a fed
eral example, indications are it will
be generous sample. Dodds ex-
poets to work in a dozen major
cities.
! How much do you estimate will
be involved in these cases?" he
| was asked.
| I'D be running into war-lebt fig
ures If tried to estimate it," Dodds
replied. Literally hundreds of mill
lions of dollars have been lost by
investors in so-called real estate
bonds, and the losses in these oper-
atoms have bene no small factor in
the present financial depression"
Dodds preferred not to reveal the
localities in which operations have
begun or will be undertaken lest
| the government HuHu SIlouiu NC
| tipped in advance.
| Washington seems to have been
a mecca for this sort of thing,
Dodds said.
In addition to the Washington
case mentioned, he is investigating
the financial operations back of the
Mayflower hotel here where Vice.
president Curtis occupies an eleven
room suite during sessions Of con-
| gress at a rate which has become

opponents there asserted that Curtis
pays $3.50 a day for the suite which
cost Harry f. Sinclair $3.50 day

to have travelled through the
greater part of Massachusetts, New
Hampshire and New York state. He
spent several days in Waterbury
about two weeks ago and then
made his way OF Hartford and
Springfield. TANNER gives so many
places of residence that the authori-

Among his admissions were that

a man about 40 years of age, OF
