ness Bureau of Washington which,
in its bulletin to members, says
complaints have been received

The bureau also insists that
August sales" be restricted to
one month and that September

earlier than the Sunday preceding
September /. That Sunday falls

CONVENTION
Seaboard Leaders Determined
to Wrench ConCIave From
MonopoIizing Westerners

Republican organization leaders
in the East are determined to
place the Republican national con-
vention of 1882 on the Atlantic
seaboard.
Philadelphia and Atlantic City
already have bid for the conven-
ton, but the pl-- Of organization
leaders goes beyond the claims OF
any particular city.
The East, they hold, will be the
big battle ground of the 1882 cam
paign. And, say these leaders,
every means must be used by the
Republicans to capture the East.
West Always Scene
The Republican national COM
mitt1e, with its eyes glued on the
Midwest, has not allowed a ma
tiOnaI convention to come East
since President Mckinley was
nominated.
With dissatisfaction reported as
q result Of the depression, with
the East for the most part wet,
and with Senator George Moses
(R) Of New Hampshire, already
conc eding Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island to the Democrats
again, the plea Of the Eastern
organization men has become
something of a demand.
Several Mid-Western cities, in
cluding Chicago, Cleveland, De-
troit, st. Louis, and Kansas City,
have been suggested for the con-
vention, and San Francisco stands
ready to pay handsomely for
either political gathering.
Hoover May Decide
It is possible President Hoover
himself may have the final deci-
sion regarding the location Of the
convention.
Whether he would want it to
go into a "wringing wet" city in
the East or whether he would
compliment the farm belt of the
Middle West by sending it into
that area is to be determined.

Farm Board to Hear Added
Grain Data This Week as
Senator Is Due From West

Vice President Charles Curtis
and Senator Arthur Capper OF
Kansas are arranging to go be-
fore the Federal Farm Board
before the end of the week to
present a new plea for a more
definite statement of the boards
policy for the disposal of ap-
proximately 200, ,0O0, 900 bushels Of
wheat, purchased through Gov
ernment funds in a grain staoili-
zation" program.
The Vice President said today
he expected Senator Capper to
come to Washington within the
next day or two with latest re-
ports from the wheat belt.
e Prices DemOralized
The grain StabilizatiOn move"
has not been successful, the wheat
belt developments show, and
wheat, millions of bushels of
which lie on the ground in Kan
Sas because there is no more
storage space, has reached unprc-
cedented low price levels within
recent weeks.
I. According to Vice President
Curtis and others, the fact that
the Government holds 10000
surplus bushels, and has an
nounced it would sell at the rate
of 100000 bushels a month.
though mot at present prices"
has a depressing influence on the
market. A more positive an
nouncement will be sought from
the board.
Vacation Off
So critical does he consider the
wheat situation that Vice Pres
ident Curtis has cancelled vaca.
ton trip to Newport where he
was to have been extensively
entertained this week.
The Vice President, when asked
about his plans. today said:
81 expect Senator Capper to
arrive from Kansas within a
day or so and when he comes,
with the latest figures on the
situation, we will go into con-
ference with members of the
Farm Board again. That Is
the tentative plan now"

After the shooting Diggs calmly
walked into the lobby Of the
hotel, where several guests were
sitting. He walked up to House
Detective Harry J. Dougherty.
Diggs handed the detective his
gun and told him:
II have just shot Captain
Norman"
Police BallQ Attack / IL
After Diggs had been arrested.
police had difficulty in protecting
him from an attack by Enoch
Craig, colored chauffeur for Cap
tain Norman.
Craig had been standing near
the parked machine Of the cap
tain when the argument started.
He rushed to his aid, but could
not stop Diggs from shooting.
Craig and William o. Pierson,
of 3O14 @ st. N. w., were eyeWit-
neses of the shooting. PierSon, a
taxicab driver, took the wounded
attorney to the hospital.
Diggs, who is 81 years old, lives
at 1925 M st. N. w.
The argument between Diggs
and Captain Norman centered
around where Craig was to be al
lowed to park the Norman auto
mobile. Space is provided for
parking on the drives of the hotel,
but ,Diggs, it is said. frequently
ordered drivers to park at diff
ferent places on the plaza, instead
of permitting them to do as they
pleased.
The prisoner was turned over
to Detective M. K. Reading
and taken to the Fourteenth pre-
cinct.
Killer Retains Calm
Apparently little moved by the
tragedy, Diggs calmly told Police
man B. C. Beach Of the incident
leading up to the shooting.
DiggS said that on Monday
he had an argument with Cap
tain Norman about parking and
that the captain at that time
slapped him.
According to the story related
by DiggS, he went home and has
since carried a 80 calibre re-
volver, which he had purchased
about two years ago. He went
to work at the hotel today armed
with the weapon, he said, be-
cause, Il feared injury from Cap
tain Norman"
He said that when Captain Nor.
man emerged from the hotel this
morning the lawyer again threat
ened him if he interfered with his
chauffeur. According to DiggS'
story to the police, he told the
captain:
81 told him II he hit me again,
Il would be Just him and me.
"He started toward me and L
fired four times. then sur
rendered"
Engaged to Wed
Captain Norman was engaged
to be married to his secretary,
Miss BeryI Roberts, sister Of
OsgOOd Roberts, Of the MayflOwer
Hotel, and Sister-in.law Of Mabelle
Jennings, dramatic critic Of The
Washington Herald.
Captain Norman had been prac-
ticing law in Washington for the
past eight years, coming here
from Tennessee. He served in
the Army during the World War,
but did not go overseas.
The lawyer was about 40 years
of age and had shared law offices

When ParaChuteS Fail.

SANTIAGO. Chile, January 81
Death in one of the few remaining I'M
known sections of the earth has closed
the career of Capt. Gunther Plueschow,
German flying ace, whom life allotted
an adventurer'S role with four CONT
nents for stage.
Last wednesday Capt. Plueschow with
q companion set out in their Condor
amphibian plane the Condor de la
Plata, in continuation of their ex-
ploration CT Southern Patagonia and
the Andes. AS they few over Lake Rica
near Puerto Natales, in Argentine terri
tory, their plane collapsed and they took
to parachuteS.
The parachutes failed to open and the
men fell 1000 feet to the shore of the
lake, one Of the most impenetrable Sec
tons of Southern Argentina, near Lake
Argentina. Their plane, the property
of Capt. PlueSchow, crashed nearby.
The bodies have not yet been brought
out of the desolate region, which Capt.
Plueschow and his aide had been en-
gagged in mapping and photographing,
and several days may pass before they
can be carried to Puerto Gallegas, Ar
gentina, the nearest city, which is about
200 miles away. They probably will be
transported to Germany, where Plues-
CHOW was something VI an 1QOl.
Plueschow, Ion of a German admiral
and member of a prominent family,
took up flying in Germany in 1909. In
1911 he won the Prince Henry prize in
Germany's first air races and in 1918
he was sent to Tsingtao to aid in the
defense of that city against the jap
aneSe.
Upon the capitulation to the Jap
anese he was ordered by military au-
thoritieS there to take a plane and fly
out, saving the German colors from
capture. He few far into Southern
China. From there he made his way
to Japan, crossed the Pacific to San
Francisco, and in New York obtained a
Job as Stoker on a Scandinavian ship.
His excellent English saved him from
capture in Scandinavia and he slipped
safely into Germany and participated in
Germany's war air force activities. later
writing a book entitled der Flieger
Won Tsingtao."
He started flying school after the
war, but tired on the inactivity and
made trip in a small boat to Oceanica,
later rounding Cape Horn in boat and
exploring the Straits of Magellan from
. plane. He mapped much territory
never before seen by m&n. After a re-
turn to Germany he came back to Chile
and the Argentine ana last year began
the map-mak!ng expeditions over the
Southern Andes and Patagonia, which
finally ended in his Death.
