NEGRO ACCUSED
AS SLAYER OF
CITY DETECTIVE
Richard Perkins to Return
for Trial in Murder of
Carl Hickman.

Awaiting arrival Of Indianapolis
police to return him to face murder
charges for the death of Detective
Sergeant Carl Hickman, Richard
Perkins, alias Cobb, was held today
in Chattanooga, Tenn.
Dispatches said he would return
to Indiana without extradition. Per-
kinS has been sought since Jan. 8,
when Sergeant Hickman was
wounded fatally in a duel with two
Negro bandits in the $500 block
North Pennsylvania strete.
A Negro policeman arrested Per-
kins in a motion picture theater
there for skipping bond on a liquor
charge. Photographs, sent to Chat
tanooga because local officers were
certain he would show up there,
were his nemesis.
Perkins, according to messages
from the Tennessee city, denied fir
ing a shot when Sergeant Hickman
and Detective William Miller
stopped him and Richard Board,
now held in Marion county Jail.
However. the bullet that killed the
policeman was identified as having
been fired from a revolver found
in Perkins room after the battle.
The pair of Negroes was stopped
by the policemen after they fol-
lowed a laundry truck, which Board
later admitted they planned to hold
up.
After the gun fight Perkins, al
though wounded, made his escape.
Board is under a robbery indictment.

miles Of farmlands in five midwest

Every hopper fighting device
known to man was brought into
play as farmers in Nebraska, Iowa,
Minnesota, North and South Dakota
fought to save from the invaders
what little was left Of their grains
and corn.
In many of the ~seventy-five
counties overrun, farmers marched
into the blackened fields with clubs,

Poison was spread by hand and
machine over many fields and in
South Dakota it Was sprayed across
the countryside from speeding air
planes. In several Nebraska counties
the pests were fought with bulk
ers," huge machines which scoop
up the insects by the bushels and
dump them at end Of each round
Of the fields. The piles of insects
then are soaked with oil and burned.
In other places, ingenious methods
were devised to e%lectrocute the
'hoppers.

an official in Nebraska. "It's in the
millions, that's all. And just how
many millions we probably won't
realize until winter comes and
human suffering begins"

SitmSon'S European Visit
Believed to Have Paved

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

BERLIN, July 29.-As Secretary
Stimson nears the end of his Of
fetal swing around Europe, I am in
a position to state that he is con-
fdent that the groundwork has
now been laid for a successful arms
conference in 1892.
A parsonage who has been closely
associated with the secretary and
other statesmen during negotiations
in Rome, Paris, London and Berlin
said it was the unanimous opinion
Of those participating that real
progress has been made in the di-
rection Of disarmament.
1t would be a big mistake, he de-
clared, if observers permit trees to
prevent them from seeing the for
est. In trying to weigh the i'm
mediate tangible results of the Lon
don conference there is danger of
overlooking intangibles which in

others with whom they came into
contact as sincere. earnest states
men, intensely DESTROYS Of reaching
a common understanding.
1t can be stated definitely that
Stimson regards his trip to Europe
as most fruitful. He has gained in
valuable insight into European
problems f~rst-hand, which will be
highly useful in the future, while
the exchange Of views between
Americans and Europeans and be-
tween Europeans themselves should
serve to clear the air of many mis-
conceptions and pave the way for
an agreement on arms.

Facundo Bacardi, head of the

The labels on several bottles

such glaring errors in spelling

They also overlooked the
fact that PHI" in Philadel-

and not in Havana, as the
bootleggers believe.

Arms limitation is perhaps the
most vital thing before the world
today because of its bearing on
world confidence. Obstacles in the
way Of achieving disarmament are
one-tenth material and nine-tenths
