Rural Fairs Still Thrive.

The imputation that the country fair
was a dying institution seems to be re-
futed by some statements which were
recently compiled by the secretary OF
a Midwest organization OF this charae-
ter. He makes the claim based on
actual figures obtained from reliable
sources that one-third OF the popu-
lation Of this country attended the rural
fair in 1928. In the Middle West these
annual events are still very popular
They come along each year at a time

PAW student newspaper at De
PAW university, was ousted from
his post at a meeting Of the publ
cations board of control Friday
afternoon, the result of an attack
on Katherine Alvord, dean of

Dean Aivord was charged in an
article printed in the De PAW with
"incompetency inability to exert
even the slightest positive influence
on women students and total lack
of capacity to understand and help
women placed under her authority.

Deming, a student from Fl. Worth,
Texas, and printed in column

board of trustees, and administra-
tive officials of the university.
1t is said the staff of the student
paper is divided about evenly in its
stand for and against the dean.

POLICE PROBING
INCENDIARY FIRE
Blaze at Woman'S Home Is
Laid to BOotIeggerS.

Incendiary fires, one laid to a
bootlegging feud, which caused dam
ages of 5000, were being probed to-
day by police and fire officials.
Mrs. Hattie Hess, 2155 Hovey

rags.
Damage to the structure was esti-
mated at more than $50.
Mrs. Hess told fire authorities she
believed the fire was started by
bootleggers, who had blamed her
for reporting their activities to the
police.

diary origin, f1remen said. Damage
to Kings residence was more than

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Orders
to hold down employment have
been issued to federal department
heads within the last few days.
The instructions originated at the
White House, it is understood, and

An order in one of the depart

President that no vacancies which
occur in the regular forces of the
executive departments be filled
henceforth, unless they are in key
positions which must be filed to
meet essential requirements.
AS a result bureaus in some in
stances already have been notified
that positions falling vacant in
Washington and in the field must
not be filled except in cases Of abb
solute necessity.

Admits He Gives Nothing to
Charity, When Quizzed
by Editor.

By Unfted Press
HARLAN, KY, Nov. 7-Theodore
Dresser, who told $5O-a-week
country editor here that he gave
nothing to charity from his own
large income, was to continue his
investigation of coal field suffering
and terrorism today at Pineville
church.
The novelist will attend mass
meeting called by the international
Labor Defense, with other members
of his committee for the defense OF
political prisoners.
Dreiser's friendly clash with the
country editor came Thursday when
Herndon Evans, editor of the Pine
vile Sun, said he believed he did
more for charity and along civic
lines on his income of between $50
and $75 week than Dresser did on
about $4,000 year.
Dresser had said the country edi-
tors salary seemed unduly high for
a district where miners work for
from $50 to $50 month.
Dresser Not Communist
Evans was called as witness by
the committee. He answered
Dreiser's questions, then accepted
the authors invitation to question
him.
Are you a Communist" Evans
asked.
NO." Dresser said, "but I sub
scribe to some of their principles. 1
believe in more equitable condi-
ton than that which now exists"
Evans asked the author how much
were his royalties from "An Amer
lean Tragedy"
about 5000, 000," Dresser told him.
How much of that have you
divided with the unfortunate? the
editor asked.
None" Dresser told him, "but I
support several dependent rela-
tiveS."

Prepare for New Smash

MUKDEN, Manchuria, Nov. T.
Chinese forces under General Ma
Chan-Shan, defeated in a three
day battle with Japanese in the
Nonni river valley, met reinforce
mentS along the route of their re-
treat today and prepared for a new
attack.
A renewal of the offensive bv
Hellungkiang troops revived rumors
that General Ma Chan-Shan was in
communication with Soviet repre-
SentativeS on military plans.
Despite protests by high Soviet
authorities that Russia does not in
tend to participate in the Man
churian conflict, observers pointed
c 1t that the Heilangkiang troop
movements conferred along the route
of the Chinese Eastern railway.
which runs to the Siberian border.
Wants Railway Mercy
1t was reported that Ma Chan
Shan had requested the railroad to
furnish trains for transportation of
his troops and munitions back to-
ward the battle area. The general
also laid plans to finance his ac-
tivities by requesting railway Of
flcialS to deliver the Chinese share
of the roads earnings, now in the
hands of the railway control bureau,
amounting to million dollars in
gold
Military intelligence agents re-
ported earlier that the Soviets were
prepared to protect the Chinese
Eastern. The road largely is oper-
ated by Russian personnel and
nominally is controlled by Soviet
general manager in Hardin, biggest
Russian center in Manchuria.
General Ma Chan-Shan withdrew
his army of 5000 from the Nonni
valley battle when Japanese REIN
forcementS arrived from Chang
chun and Taonan, although his men
outnumbered the Nipponese three
to one. More than two hundred
Chinese we're killed, while the
Japanese fixed their casualties at
thirty-six dead and 146, including
two aviators, wounded.
Planes ROut Chinese
The japanese bombing planes de-
moralized Ma Chan-Shan's cavalry
men and inflicted heavy losses in
the Chinese lines. Only 200 cavalry
troopers remained when the gen.
eral ordered a retreat northward
from the Chinese Eastern railway.
Many Russians clad in Chinese
uniforms were reported found
among the dead, indicating active.
volunteer participation by Russians.
AS result of the reports. military
precautions were redoubled by the
japanese. All Chinese travellers
were forced to undergo vigorous
search before permission was grant,
ed for continuance of their Journey.

Capitol Hill Stunned

WASHINGTON, Oct. THE
sudden death of Senator Thaddeus
H. Caraway. in Little Rock, Ark,
Friday night removes from con-
gress one of it's most colorful figures
and ablest Democrats. His passing
was mourned by his colleagues who
paid tribute to him as statesman
and conscientious public servant.
Quick witted and sharp of tongue,
Caraway seldom overlooked an OPP
portunity to engage in the rough
and-tumble conflict of debate during
his two terms as senator and four
terms in the house. He was one Of
the bitterest critics of the present
administration.
Caraway is remembered here best
for his sharp questioning OF lobby
lists during the senate lobby COM
mite investigation of 1880, and in
the fight for federal drought relief.
Democrat to Be Named
Even after Democratic leaders
had agreed to compromise with
the administration on relief Cara
way fought to have the government
make direct loans for food to the
people of Arkansas whose crops had
been destroyed by the blighting heat
of the previous summer.
1t is expected the Governor OF
Arkansas will appoint a Democrat
to succeed Caraway before congress
meets. His death and that Of
Dwight w. Morrow of New Jersey
leaves the lineup in the senate as
follows:
Republicans, At: Democrats, 46;
Farmer-Labor. 1; vacancies, 2.
Morrow's seat probably will be
filled by the Governor of New Jer-
sey before he goes out of Office
Jan. 1.
Caraway had perhaps the most
modest biography of any member
of the senate. Whereas many men,
bers Of that body devote hundreds
of words to their personal history,
the Arkansas senator identified him
self merely as ct. H. Caraway,
Jonesboro, Ark"
In Senate Since 1921
The senator served on the agrl-
culture. forestry, claims, judiciary,
and privileges and elections COM
mittee.
He had been member of the
senate since 1921 and previously had
served four terms in the house. His
present term in the senate would
have ended in 1888.
He was born in Stoddard county.
Mo. Oct. II. 1871. A graduate of
Dixon college. Tennessee. he was
admitted to the Arkansas bar in
1900 and began practice at Lake
City.
Caraway's political career began
with his election as prosecuting at
torney in the second judicial circuit
of Arkansas. He held this post for
two terms, after which he was
elected to congress.
