SEARCHER FOR
MISSING HIKERS
KILLED BY FALL
Men Sought Discovered
By Rescuers And Taken
To Homes.

PASADENA, Oct 25. U.P)-
One member of a searching party,
seeking two lost mixers, was killed
shortly before midnight last night
when he fell into deep, noun
famous canyon.
The mixers, p. r. Lundy, Los An
geles banker, and Lloyd Nelson.
Arcadia school teacher, were found
in the wilds of Monrovia canyon.
They had strayed more than a
mile apart and were rescued by
separate searching parties.
Charles White of Monrovia with
other members of the searching
band who later found Lundy, was
crawling along on the face of a
cliff when dislodged boulder
struck him in the head and cata-
pulled him into a deep chasm. His
companions believed he was kill
ed instantly Because of the un-
known depth of the precipice and
the high gales which made every
step extremely precarious, they
made no attempt to recover the
body Immediately.
Despite the tragedy, the search
ers pushed onward until they found
Lurfiy, marooned ON a narrow
ledge. Two members of the band
were lowered by ropes to help him
from his precarious retreat.
Nelson, the other hiker, was
found nearly a mile and a half
away by party led by Fire Chief
Harry Stephens of Monrovia. Scar
chers also had to be lowered by
ropes to effect his rescue. Neither
Nelson nor his companion had been
injured in the fire that had swept
the canyon, giving rise to fears
that both men had perished. The
two mixers were weak from hum
ger and exposure.
Searchers advised local author
tiles that the fury of the fire ap-
parently had spent itself. The
blaze, famed by high winds, had
retarded rescue efforts.
Three other fires we're reported
in the district, on in Castaic Can
yon, another at the head of San
Antonia canyon in the Mount
Baldy district, and a third at a
ranch near Newhall. Forest ran
gers, augmented by volunteers, bat
tied desperately to bring them un-
der control.

HOOVER PLANNING
MORE INCREASES
In TARIFF RATES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25-UP)-
President Hoover has called on the
tariff commission to investigate i'm
mediately the advisability of in
creases in certain tariff rates, as
means of preventing further un-
employment, which he said would
result if changes are not made.
The Presidents action follows
Democratic campaign attacks on
the Smoot- Hawley tariff, and re-
cent dispatch to the White House
of petition signed by several hun
dred economists, who declared the
high rates of the tariff had stifled
foreign trade.
In a letter to Chairman Robert
L. O'Brien the President asked that
the commission recomment to him
"at the earliest possible moment"
whether changes are necessary on
16 groups OF dutiable articles to
bring rates to the level before cur
rency depreciations occurred in var
ious exporting countries. While the
rates remain the same, deprecia-
ton of from five to SIS per cent
has occurred, the President said.
Expedition of the report was
asked "in order to afford all pos
sible relief to unemployment" the
President wrote in approximately
100 cities in 30 states, where the
articles are made, or processed.
Under the flexible provisions of
the tariff act, the President, on
recommendation of the commits
sion, is empowered to make rate
changes UP to so per cent, down.

GARNER ANSWERS
HOOVER DEFENSE
OF HIS RECORD

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-(UP)E
Speaker Garner struck back today
at President Hoover's defense of
government finances, charging
that the chief executive lacks hon
esty, has practiced deception, and
cannot explain away his record of
futility on measures to relieve the
depression.
The Democratic vice presi-
Dental candidate, taking figures in
the Republican campaign textbook,
said the Hoover administration had
increased the cost of government
$1,213, 100000 in last two years, ex-
elusive of pup:ic debt retirement
and interest.
Garner said total expenditures
chargeable against ordinary re-
ceipts, excluding public debt re-
tirement and interests, were $2,781, :
100000 in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1880, and $3,994, 4,700,0 900
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1892.
Referring to the Presidents dis
cussion of federal finances at De-
troit Saturday, Garner said Hoo
yer whips himself into a self
righteous fury because the Demo-
Gratis have promised a saving of a
billion dollars in governmental ex-
penses, and in the very breath
which he denies the possibility, he
says that he himself will save a
billion and a half if allowed to re-
main in office.
Hoover figures justify every
Democratic accusation" the speaker
declared. mo matter how the fig
ures of the past three years are
juggled, the record of futility and
deception cannot be changed"
Garner accused Mr.. Hoover and
Secretary OF Treasury Mills of "am-
neSia and asENasia' in recounting
events of the past three years.

SEVERE WINDS
CAUSE DAMAGE
in SOUTHLAND

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25. U.P)-
Dry northeast winds whipped
across Southern California today,
after having brought death to a
small boy and extensively damaged
property.
Felix Moreno, 10, of Guasti, was
blown directly into the path of
an automibile, and was fatally in
jured
Winds attained velocity of so
miles an hour in some parts of the
southland, although Los Angeles
itself escaped the blow because of
intervening hills.
Most of the damage to property
was done in the La Crescenta val
ley, where garages were over
turned and trees uprooted. -Four
brush fires were whipped to threat
ening proportions by the high
winds
A brush fire raging in the Con-
ejo valley, Ventura county, threat
ened the town of Potrero, accord
ing to Walter Clayberg, assistant
fire warden. The blaze was burn
ing along a mile and a half front
beyond control of more than 100
men who fought it throughout the
night.
The fire started near Triunfo,
and was advancing on the famous
cattle ranch of Thornhill Broome,
wealthy Chicago man.
The weather bureau said there
would be no let-up in the blow to-
day. High pressure areas over
Nevada and Idaho, and low pres
sure spots over Arizona and New
Mexico, caused the disturbance.

Worthless Check
Gambler Sought

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25. UP)-A.
L. Stapp ran $4,000 in allegedly
worthless checks into $4,000 in
good coin of the realm in a single
nights performance on the gamb-
ling ship Monte Carlo, according
to a complaint charging him with
forgery issued by the district at
torney's office.
According to owners of the
gambling boat Stapp asked that
checks he had rendered when he
started the game be included in
the payoff of his winnings. This
caused suspicion, and one of the
necessary two signatures on a
$4,000 check given to him, was
emitted.
Police sought Stapp today.

RADICALEM TO
BE TARGET FOR
HOOVER ATTACK
New York Speech Planned
To Criticize Roosevelt
Attitude.
BY HENRY F. MISSELWITZ
United Press Staff Correspondent

Chileu FreSS oLa1f correspondent
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. = Pres
ident Hoover is expected to make
his Madison Square Garden ad-
dress in New York next Monday
an appropriate one with plenty of
punch" in it, which may include a
two fisted warning against "radi-
caliSm."
Republican campaign strategy
from now on calls for stressing this
line of attack on the opposition,
especially in the conservative and
industrial east, it was apparent to-
day.
The Presidents first conferences
this week over his next speech
were with Senator Glenn (Rep.)
Illinois, and Representative Fish
(Rep) New York. Both left the
White House criticizing Gov. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt along the "radi-
caliSm" line.
The chief executive regards the
New York speech as one of the
high spots in his personal cam
paign for reelection. He slashed
out in increasing sharper tempo
at his opponent in his Detroit ad-
dress, but even more biting criti-
cism is planned.
Mr.. Hoover is working at length
on the speech, comforting with po-
iitical advisers and departmental
experts, and gathering data to put
a new punch" in it.
This feeling on the part of the
President regarding the import
ance of his New York utterance
caused some doubt yesterday that
he would go into the midwest
again this week. He was expected
to decide definitely soon on the
matter of this immediate third in
vasion of the doubtful area. Re-
ports persisted that he might go
to Indianapolis for a speech there
Friday, then to Chicago for Sat-
urday address, before swinging to
New York.
The rumored California journey
at the end of the campaign re-
manned purely conjectural.

ROLPH DECIDES
'STATEF0RESTER
TO HOLD OFFICE

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 25. U.P)-
Charges of "playing politics" made
against State Forester M. B. Pratt
have not been substantiated, Gov
e-nor Rolph declared today in an
nouncing he would retain Pratt in
his state job.
The goveror's decision not to re-
move the state forester followed a
hearing last night attended by
Pratt and S. Rex Black, chairman
of the state board of forestry, who
was said to have recommended the
custer.
Rolph indicated yesterday fol-
lowing his return from a tour of
northern California counties that
he would relieve Pratt of his fores-
try position because of charges
made to him that the state forester
had opposed Justice Hugh L. Pres
tons candidacy for the third dis
trict appellate court in the August
primary election.
81 have found that charges of
disloyalty against Pratt were un-
founded" said the governor. 1T
was probably case OF mistaken
identity and there is no need for
further action"
A flood of statewide protests
against Pratt's removal were re-
ceived at the governors office fol-
lowing reports that he was to go.
Among others protesting his re-
moval were Ernest c.. Dudley, EX-
eter, member of the forestry
board; the Southern California
Fruit Growers association; the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce,
the Society of American Foresters,
many recreational and watershed
interests, and Charles j. Dun
woody, director of the conserva-
ton department of the state cham
ber of commerce.
