These Hoover figures, dealing only with Hoover years, show an increase in the cost of government of $l,213.- 700, 900.
 Anticipating the alIbi of Presi- dent Hoover. and his apologies, Speaker Garner states that these figures include amounts apprcpriat- ed for the federal farm board the Reconstruction Finance Corpora ton and federal land banks; but inasmuch as President Hoover has taken credit for every one of these federal agencies, he must count the cost. }3sf

Washington. Nov. a- President Hoover and the republican cam paiEn text book for 1889 seem to be as far apart concerning the in- creased expenditures under the Hoover administration as they were on the amount of available gold in the United States at the time that Mir Hoover had fixed for this country to be within two weeks of going off the gold standard.
 Referring to a statement by Gov ernor Roosevelt tha the routine ordinary cost O. government had increased by 1000, ,OO0. .000 between 1927 and 1881, Mir Hoover said In his Detroit speech that the increase had been only s635, ,0OO, 900.
 Speaker Garner, citing the re- publican campaign text book for 1882, says:

washington, Nov s-In his Des M1ineB speech Mr Hoover made two statements concerning the re- taliatory tariffs adopted by foreign countries against the Hawley- Shoot act which are completely refutsd by data compiled by the SC Louis Star and Times. Tn the Des Moines speech, Mr Hoover
 s.The opposition party has enc dcnvored to persuade you that in-, cfeased tariffs abroad are reprisE a1s against the United States. There are . half dozen suppress atons of truth In this statement.
 The first is. that many in- creases in tariffs abroad took place before, not after, our farm tariffs were increased"
 The Hawley-Smoot act was passed on June 13, 1880. The list of retaliatory tariffs presented by the St Louis Star and Times as taken from dispatches and cables to the New York Times in refuta- ton of both these statements is not a complete list, but is a complete disproof of the presidents state- ments, both as to the retaliatory nature of the tariffs and the time they were enacted.

MORRISSEY.ON
MYSTERY TRIP;
PROBE DORMANT
Chief Leaves No Orders on
Continuation of Quiz;
Destination Secret.

Chief Mike Morrisey's Office at
headquarters is vacant today.
And the chief either is spending
few days in the north part of the
country as part of his vacation" or
"just a few days off, but not his
regular vacation"
MorrisSey has been attempting to
take vacation for several weeks,
his aids say. But one thing after
another had blocked his plans. The
last was the hunger march of the
unemployed Tuesday at the state
house.
After that, though, Morrissey dis
appeared. Secretaries say they
know not where he is, while other
police officials say he is in Wis
conSin or Minnesota and will re-
turn Monday or Tuesday.
And while he is gone, the in
veStigation into the alleged fake
barbecue stand raid by a police
sergeant is dormant. Morrissey. it
is known, left no instructions for
continuance of the probe.
The last official action in the
case was when MorriSsey conferred
with federal officials early this
week.
Detectives assigned to the case
have filed with him, their report

highway No. 3, a heavily Travelled
road.
The manner in which Miss Prigge
and Miss Polikowski, inseparable
friends for years, came to their
deaths remained a mystery as deep
as why their bodies were found in
the river and only were partly clad.
Home-LOving Type
They were attractive girls, home
loving, but engaging in the typical
activities Of their rural community
They had the usual dates" but
were not known to favor any par
ticular young men. The two with
whom they went riding before their
deaths were believed to be strang-
ers.
Coroner A. G. Schleicher reported
that he found no Wounds or bruises
on the bodies Of the two girls, but
was convinced because water was
absent from the lungs that they
were not drowned.
Miss Polikowski had agreed Tues
day to get Miss .Prigge and go rid
ing with the two men. The men
picked her up at her lodging place
at Rochester and then called at
the Prigge farm home. Miss Prigge
joined them and they went cross
country to Millville, where the
Prigge girl was recognized. She
formerly lived in that town.
Body Partly Clad
Neither girl was seen alive after
that. At $50 p. m. Wednesday,
party Of bathers discovered Miss
Prigge's body clad only in bras
Siere and step-ins, floating in
Ryan's bay, a favorite swimming
spot. Coroner Schleicher learned
that Miss Prigge had been with her
chum and started a new search.
Searchers found Miss Polikowski's
body in the water about half mile
from the place where Miss Prigge's
body was found. Miss Prigge's
clothes were found in the brush
further upstream.
Neither of the girls had been
dead for more than twelve hours"
Bauers said. There were no bruises
or other wounds on them We have
sent their stomachs to Rochester for
an examination to learn whether
they had been poisoned.

MERCHANT COP LEAVES
TRAIL OF INJURED
Prey Leaps Through window; And
in Chase Hurts Foot.

Making his rounds Thursday
night, Jack Pierce, IT'S Tippecanoe
street, merchant policeman, left a
trail of injured persons in his wake,
but he was unscathed by the mis-
fortunes overtaking the others.
Troy Williams, 80, of 1856 North
Blackford street, jumped through a
large plate glass window and fell
over an iron fence at a vacant
house, 712 West New York street,
attempting to flee from Pierce, who
had found him in the house.
Williams was taken to the city
hospital for treatment of lacera-
tions, before being slated at police
headquarters for malicious tres
pass and vagrancy.
Roy Chatham, %, of 704 West
New York street, is nursing an in
jured right foot because he aided
Pierce in the chase of Williams.
Chatham, too, fell over a fence, and
was taken to the city hospital for
treatment and returned to his home.

BACKP PEACE
DEMAND"

The great powers demanded
peace in the Orient today.
In the face Of renewed ag-
gression by Japan in Shang-
hal, the United States and
Great Britain asked both
Japan and China to cease all
hostilities in the Shanghai
area, permit the establishment
of neutral zones, and submit
their differences to peaceable
adjustment.
The State Departments an
nouncement of this move was &C
companied by the statement that
it was understood Italy and
France were taking similar action.
Cabinet Studies Situation
Nothing was said concerning
the manner in which the com,
batants had received the pro-
poSalS.
simultaneously, after lengthy
Cabinet meeting at which the
situation again was the dominant
subject for discussion, it was
stated at the White House that
American policy is aimed solely at
the protection of American lives
and property in China.
Both Sides Asks Aid
Both Japan and China, it was
pointed out, had at various times
asked the good offices of the
United States and of Great Britain
to influence the other toward re-
Straint, and in such a situation
