MORE RECORDS
In DISCARD AT
OLYMPIC GAMES
Athletes Continue To De-
mOlish Old Marks In
Numerous Events.
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3.-Olym-
pic and world records were scat
tered all over the place today as
contestants in the international
tests began the fourth day of track
and field events.
Five performances in record
marks were added yesterday to the
daily allotment of the days before.
Unless there is sudden lull in
this activity the tenth modern re-
newal of the ancient sports will set
a new high total for record shat
tering.
tuesdays show contained record
or record-equalling performances
in the 200-meter dash, 80O-meter
run, 110-meter hurdles, women's
discus and womens 1GO-meter dash.
The 200-meter semi finals and
finals will crowd the thrills. This
competition, past It's first and sec
ond stages, today contained one of
the most truly international fields
of any of the events.
From the American viewpoint
there is the satisfaction of know
ing that the big three of the United
States came through the first tests
of the 200 in more than creditable
style. Eddie Tolan of Detroit and
Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette, both
Negroes, won their second trial
heats IN record figures, while
George Simpson of Ohio was Sec
ond to Luti of Argentina in an
other record-breaking finish. Luti,
OF course, is highly dangerous
man as is Jonath of Germany, who
equalled Luti's new record time of
21.4 in winning the fourth heat of
the second trials after Metcalfe
had set mark of 21.5, equalled by
Tolan shortly after.
Yesterdays big hero probably
was Tom Hampson of Great Britain.
new Olympic 800-meter champion.
British sports experts had warned
that Hampson would be dan
gerous foeman and it was really a
great race that Hampson won. He
had to fight from back in fourth
or fifth position in sprinting on the
last half lap to nose out Alex Will
son of Canada, and leaving Phil
Edwards, also of Canada, and the
early pace setter, forced to be con-
tent with third honors. Hampson
was caught in new record time
of 1913.
Beard Wins
1t was Percy Beard of Alabama
who finally held the 1OC-meter
hurdles record. He made the dis
tance in IA after Jack Keller OF
Ohio State had won his heat in
14.5 for a temporary hold on the
record.
Lillian Copeland of California
set new women's discus mark OF
1853 feet, 2 inches. This was
world and Olympic record. Stella
Walsh of Poland once again put
on an 11.9 performance in the
1O0-meter. She made this record
time twice in the first tests and
equalled it on Tuesday.
The Olympic track and field
games reached the dizzy stage to-
day. They were to begin with the
$4,000 meter walk. The heel and
toe boys will begin their battle at
2:30 and will conclude somewhere
around $50. Fifty thousand meters,
incidentally, is quite a lot more
than $4,000 yards, and there arc
l760 yards to a mile. The long
walk, fortunately or not, will be
held on another field than the one
contained in Olympic stadium.
The pole vault, discus, 11O-meter
hurdles, 1500-meter trials, womens
80-meter hurdles were also listed.

Bee mine today.
From the encircling lines Of en-
trenched union pickets, who out.
numbered the rs non-union miners
and guards in the mine fortress
about 10 to l, came a challenging
volley. Machine guns, rifles and
shotguns within the low brick fan
house, where the captive men were
fortified, roared an answering
volley.
Mine representatives abandoned
hope for an immediate truce. They
feared the strife, precipitated after
disgruntled striking union men
from many parts of the western
Indiana coal fields had picketed
the Dixie Bee for a week, would go
on to major battle.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, Aug. 3. U.P)-
Mayor Eddie McCloskey announced
today that the bonus army would
disband and leave Johnstown to-
morrow morning.
His announcement came after he
had conferred with Doak Carter,
in command of the 3. E. F. here;
R. B. Ellison, national contact Of
ficer, and Edward Atwell, chief
of staff.
The officers of the B. E. F. went
into conference to talk the be-
fuddled situation over.
McCloskey said Gov. Clifford
Pinchot would send trucks here to-
morrow and the camp would be
abandoned.
I'VE are going to the camp and
tell the army just what's what in
a gentlemanly way" McCloskey
said.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. U.H-
Commander Walter w. Waters
promised today to establish his
bonus expeditionary force in a
string of camps in every one of the
48 states.
Forced by Governor Albert C.
Ritchie to abandon his dream of
building permanent national
bonus colony in wooded Maryland
gulley, Waters directed his force of
1000 now waiting at Johnstown, Pa,
to disperse to their home states.
This seems to mean the end of
the bonus army as a concentrated
national unit. But new fire CLINT
ed today in Waters dark ringed
eyes.
He envisionS now not one bonus
army, but 48 state camps becoming
the centers of militant state organ
ization entering directly into the
political campaigns to carry on
their fight for payment of the vet
eran bonus.
In a formal statement, Waters
announced "a national organiza-
tion"-he would not say what one
was actively engaged in making
arrangements-for bonus camp sites
in every state. His statement said
after careful consideration, I
hereby advise the members of the
B. E. F.. to return to their respective
states because it Is fully realized
that our battle-ground is there"

With Bolivia and Paraguay mobi-
lizing for war, ray Of hope for
peace appeared suddenly today
when the League of Nations an
nounced that Paraguay had ex-
pressed willingness to arbitrate.
The league notified Bolivia and
asked what 1t would do.
The natoins oi the new world
also joined forces in a strenuous
effort to prevent war between the
two republics.
Other developments in the dis-
pute over the South American
jungle which has turned into a
veritable tinder box, included:
Women of Paraguay and Bo-
livia pleaded for a chance to bear
arms, as privates in the ranks, in
event of a war between the coun-
tries. They wanted to uphold the
tradition of their grandmoShers.
The Paraguayan government de-
clined a Spanish offer to attempt
conciliation.
Bolivia declined to arbitrate.
The League of Nations council
and neutral representatives at
Washington urged both nations TO
refrain from hostilities.
American neutrals were expected
to join today in message Of
"transcendant Importance" to the
two disputing nations.
Bolivia's demand for an outlet to
the sea via the Paraguay river Is
the source of the dispute which
has brought the two nations near
war previously during the so years
of claims and counter-claims OF

SILVER PROBLEM LAID BEFORE SENATE
 BY SEN, P|TTMAN

The silver problem was again called to the attention of the U. $. Senate by Senator Key Pittman, of Nevada, dur ing the early days of the pres ent session.
 A verbatim report of the address printed in the Con- gressional Record fills nearly 10 pages and unfortunately is too long to be reprinted here.
 Senator Pittman cited sta tistics showing a drop in Am erican foreign trade and said the cause of the decrease was the lowered exchange rate in countries with which the Unit ed States traded.
 Troubles in the United States are complicated, the senator said, by England's temporary abandonment of the gold standard.
 "We can't export in compe- tition with Great Britain" he said.
 He added that Great Britain was not as interested in a sil- yer conference as the United States because England has a 30 per cent advantage in all foreign markets.
 But it is the duty of this government to invite all coun- tries to a conference" he said, adding eff we expect to deal with the rest of the world we must either lower our stand ard as Great Britain did or raise the exchange value of the moneary of other countries"
 Pittman said an agreement 70 restore silver could be made effective without the coopera- tion of either France or Great Britain.

ire Destroys Began Cabin

The picturesque log cabin home of J. J. Began in the Forest townsite was destroyed by fire shortly after 8 a. m. Monday morning.
 MT. Began was not home at the time, having left the dwelling on a trip up the val ley shortly before the fire de- veloped. When the blaze was discovered by neighbors, the flames had gained such head way in the cabin that entry was impossible and none of the contents could be saved. < The fire apparently origin ated in an explosion in the heating stove, in which MT. Began had placed some dried out wood shortly before leav- ing. The lid of the stove was found in the ruins consider able distance from the stove, indicating that it had been thrown there by an explosion. The loss will approximate S2,- 900 and is partially covered by insurance.
 As the central subject of beautiful winter scene made by H. A. Ives, local landscape photographer, the cabin po- ssessed unusual celebrity. The picture, entitled "Neath Win ter's Mantle" has proved high ly popular with art lovers and has been widely circulated in Alaska and the States.
 MT. Began has taken up temporary residence in the cabin formerly occupied by George Devine.

SAYS J. 5. WILL BE FORGED OFF THE
 GOLD STANDARD

The Philadelphia Record, in a first-page editorial, urges that Congress should take the United States off the pres ent gold standard immediate ly."
 "This nation will be forced off eventually, when it will dc Us little good" the editorial declares.
 If Congress acts now it will save much human suffering and speed the return of the rest of the world as we'll as this country to normalcy.
 We need imitation to cure our own depression. But it is as important that we must forget gold to relieve the despair of the rest of the world which is in debt to us.

FIRE THREATENS
 DOWNTOWN DISTRICT

The entire downtown section of Hyder was threatened with destruction by a fire develop ing in the upper story of Nor thern Pool Hall and Silver Grill restaurant building short ly after noon Tuesday and but for timely discovery would undoubtedly have caused great damage in that closely settled area.
 The blaze was discovered by proprietor w. c. Blanton, who went to investigate the noise made by the heat break ing a window in the rear end of the upper floor. He was met on the stairway by a wave of smoke and flame, which, drove him back to the lower floor. As the chemical fire wagon is stationed immediate ly across the street, the appar- atus was speedily brought in to play by Gus. Erickson, "Long-Shorty" Carlson and Alex. Murry, who gradually fought their way up the stairs and quenched the flames in- side of the building. Mean while Hubert Thomas was en- gagged on the roof with a hand extinguisher keeping the flames from breaking through the rear wall, as they momen- tarily threatened to do.
 Later investigation disclosed that the fire resulted from the ignition of wood creasote, which Tn some manner had leaked from the smoke stack into the safety flue running from the lower floor. The ov- er-heated flue in turn ignited an adjacent wall. The fire had approximately been shoulder ing for a considerable time, as every wall of the room was badly scorched. Providentially the upper windows were clos ed, with a resultant absence of draught, or a costly conflagra- tion would undoubtedly have occurred.
 The damage will approXi-, mate several hundred dollars and is covered by insurance.

BOURNE SAYS SILVER
 SHOULD BE RESTORED

That the United States can, should, and within three years will, without necessitated as- sent or cooperation of any other nation, remonetize silver on the basis of 16 to 1 was the recent declaration of Jonathan Bourne, IT,, of Colorado, for mer United States senator.
 In making his sweeping de- claration Bourne challenged intelligent criticism of the fol- lowing statements:
 First, the remonetization of silver on the basis of 16 to 1 would immediately thereaf- ter double the volume of the worlds primary money with a resultant increased conserva- tive credit basis of twenty times the amount of primary money thus added to the worlds stock.
 Second, within one year after the remonetization of sil- yer the worlds price of wheat, cotton and sympathetically all agricultural products would be more than doubled in their monetary value.
 "Third, our present tendency to reduce wages in this country would be checked and within two or three years after the re- monetization of silver the tend ency of increased wages would generally develop throughout the United States.
 Fourth, our foreign mar ket would steadily increase by helping China, India, Russia, Mexico and the South, Ameri- can nations.
 Fifth, it would do more to revive trade throughout the world than any other single action that could be taken by the United States or the world in general.
 Sixth, the securities, espec- ially the common stocks of all corporations enjoying honest efficient arrangements and properly financed, if listed on some of the great stock eX- changes of the country, would almost contemporaneously show increased activity and market values and probably within a period of two or three years reach prices in excess o1 those attained in 1928 prior to the debacles of 1929 and 1880.
