By Hited Press
BERLIN, Sept. 13-The govern
ment Of Chancellor Franz Won
Papen, given an Overwhelming vote
Of misconfidence, nevertheless ap-
peared today to have a favorable
start in the next general election
after the chancellor had dissolved
the reichstag in one of the most
dramatic scenes in German parlia-
mentary history.
The government warned the op-
position that force would be used.
if necessary, to prevent deputies
from ~reaSsembling.
1t decided, however, that martial
law or other strict measures were
not necessary after the proposed
attempt to call reichstag meeting
today was abandoned.
The defiance by the reichstag,
where the opposition led by the
Nazis refused to accept dissolution
as legal, cooled notably when
Speaker Herman Goering decided
to cancel a session he had called
for today.
Instead, Goering said, several
German states "close to the Fascist
movement" would appeal to the SUI
preme court on the legality of dis
solution.

GRANGE is CONCERNED
WITH BANK PROBLEMS
Agricultural Situation Put Aside
for Annual Meeting.


By Scripps-H ot0drd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The
National Grange, whose executive
committee meets here Sept. % to
plan for the annual meeting six
weeks later, will concern itself more
with financial problems than with
strictly agricultural problems.
Albert S. Goss, chairman of the
executive committee, has had a
committee at work for months
drafting legislation containing pro-
posed reforms in the national bank
ing system.
A second item of major impor-
lance on the Grange program this
fall is monetary Stablization.
The Grange is adhering to its
nonpartisan policy on the presi-
dency. The organization long has
been ardently dry, and makes no
secret of it's discomfort with the
platforms of both parties this year
on the eighteenth amendment.
This years annual meeting, to be
held in Winston Salem, N. c., is
the first south of the Potomac river
since 1890.

Rats, but Catches
PoSSumS Instead.

On. GARRISON, 1922 Park
IN avenue, is thinking of for
getting his love for fishing, and
taking up possum trapping in
big way.
Garrison, an addict of the MIN
rod sport, found holes gnawed in
the side of his garage a couple Of
weeks ago So he set a trap.
Next morning, he found, not a
rat, but a small opoSSum. He reset
the trap. but his dreams of max

short-lived, for the following
morning he found that the trap
had been carried away.
A new trap failed to get any re-
suits until this morning, when he
found one posSum caught and
second in the garage, evidently
waiting his turn.
Garrison refuses to tell what his
bait is.

ANTI INJUNCTION LAW
UPHELD IN TEST CASE
Union Balks Restraining Order

q WASHINGTON. Sept 13.-The
NorriS-La Guardia anti-iniunction
law, passed in the last session of
congress, has come off successfully
in its first test in the courts.
The first case to make an issue of
the act is a minor one occurring in
the District of Columbia, and prob

operated.
e Early in August the Capital Fur
shop asked the district supreme
court to issue an injunction prevent
ing local chapter of the Inter-
national Fur Workers Union from
picketing its shop, carrying signs
. accusing it of being unfair to or
ganized labor.
The union, in answer, stressed a
claim that the injunction could not
be issued on account of the new
act. This claim was sustained by
Justice Daniel w. ODonoghue.

Founder of Ants Saloon League
Thinks Liquor May Come Back.
By United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Dr
Howard Hyde Russell, n, founder
of the Anti-Saloon League, believes
1t may be necessary to give wet
states one more fling at liquor be-
fore they were converted to prohi-
bition.
Prohibition came in the war
period and as result of the war"
Dr. Russell said, 1T came twenty
or twenty-five years sooner than we
expected.
This early arrival made it harder
to teach the truth in the ten or
twelve wet states where prohibition
had been forced on them in a sense.
They wouldn't learn.
1T may take the return of the
liquor traffic, liquor orgy, before
they are convinced that conditions
are best under prohibition. do not

CALLS THOMAS
STALKING HORSE
AIDING HOOVER
Socialist labor National
Organizer Says Nominee
Not Radical Enough.

Willingly or unwittingly, Norman
Thomas, Socialist presidential nom
inee, is a Stalking horse for the re-
election Of Hoover" it was charged
here today by J. P. Campbell De-
troit, national organizer for the So
cialist-Labor party.
Campbell, with Charles Ginsberg,
220l North Keystone avenue, filed
the state ticket Of his party Mon
day. Ginsberg is state secretary of
the party.
Candidates includ Verne L.
Reynolds. New York, for President;
John w. Aiken, Massachusetts,
Vice President; Charles Lynch, Fl.
Wayne, Governor; Henry Peterson,
South Bend, Lieutenant-G Governor,
and F.. f. Bailey, Indianapolis,
United States senator.
Campbell contends that only the
Socialist-Labor party is carrying on
in the true MARKHAM tradition, and
that both the Socialist and Com
munist parties are not radical
enough. in the sense Of seeking
nothing but complete social change.
Denies Thomas Is Socialist
Norman Thomas is not a Social
ist in the real sense of that term,
but a liberal social reformer, which
in the end means that no genuine
change can be brought about
through his advocacy" Campbell
commended.
For the first time in his career
he is getting publicity from the Re-
publican press, which aids in bring
ing out crowds TO hear him talk.
That merely means he is being used
to turn The disconnected vote away
from Roosevelt, so that Hoover can
be reelected"
Campbell condemned both the So
cialist and Communist parties for
seeking reform short of absolute
revolution"
d. The only lasting reform can be
TO put the entire means of produc-
ton and distribution into the hands
of the workers" he said. Anything
short of this is but the old labor
party folly which prevails in Eng
land
Communism Is ASsailed
- Our party need not bother about
trying 20 attract votes by mere So
called reform measures. The CAPT.
talist system is crumbling and only
by our method can industry and well
being be re-established.
He termed Communism in Ameri-
ca as largely an alien racket
financed from Russia. whereby
mobs go about in public places beg
ging for relief like paupers."
Continued doles result only in
unemployment shock, such as they
have in England, and which is
similar to shell shock" Campbell
contended. Under a genuine So
cialist commonwealth, operated as
it would be in America on demo-
cratic principles, such things will
be unnecessary"
Tonight and Wednesday night
Campbell will address open meet
ings at Tenth street and King ave-
nue..

the $5,0O0,O00 which went down
With the liner Egypt 10 years ago.
The $1,OOO,000 which was dumped
down on the Artiglios decks yes
terday represents four years of
logged labor against the powers of
the storms and sea.
1t is blood money, for to date Is
intrepid seamen and two stout
ships have been lost in the quest.
The tragedy of the past was mir
rored in the dramatic scenes on the
Artiglios deck yesterday. when the
ingots were brought up. There was
a moment of silence in honor of the
divers who were killed two years
ago in the explosion which destroy
ed the Artiglio l. Then Director
Quaglia of the salvage operations
and Chief Diver Raffaelli embraced
each other for joy.
Every man aboard was given
gold sovereign. The Italian flag
was hoisted amidst the cheers of
the seamen.
As soon as the rest of the $5,-
900, 900 is brought up from the
Egypt's strong room, the Artiglio
will sail for Plymouth, England.

COUNTIES OF THE U. S.

Some facts regarding the area,
population and other statistics con-
corning counties in the United
States may be of interest.
There are 3,072 counties In the
As States, of which Texas has the
greatest number, 254, and Della
ware the smallest number, 8.
San Demanding County, in Cal
ifornia, is the largest, with an area
of POTTS square miles. New York
County is the smallest, with an area
of only % square miles. Bristol
County, in Rhode Island, is the next
smallest. with "a square miles.
Citing another case of extremes,
Armstrong County. in South Dakota,
with an area of $40 square miles,
has no postoffice, while Allegheny
County, in Pennsylvania, with 725
square miles, has $50 postoffices.
And speaking of postoffices, Lead
vile, Colo, is the highest, being
1880 feet above sea level, while
Caliparia, Calf, ITS feet below
sea level. is the lowest.
North Carolina and Virginia have
exactly 100 counties each. States
having more than 100 counties
are Illinois, 1902; Kansas, 105; Mis-
souri,, ia; Kentucky. 1870; Geor-
gia, 161; Texas, 254.
One State, Louisiana, has no
counties. But this does not mean
that it has no political subdivisions
as other States have. In Louisiana
these subdivisions are called par
ishes, of which the State has "a.
