Many Killed And Wound

Government Threatens To
Enforce Martial Law
To Keep Order.
BY PAUL KECSKEMETI

BERLIN, July 18. U.P)-Political
terrorism famed through Ger
many today and the government
took drastic steps to put down dis
order after a weekend in which
probably 20 or more dead and doz-
ems wounded were added to the
heavy casualties of the last few
weeks.
After an emergency cabinet meet
ing, outdoor demonstrations were
forbidden throughout the reich in
an order by Baron Wilhelm Won
Gayl, minister of the interior.
Proclamation of a state of siege
Or martial law was discussed. but
the cabinet was reluctant to take
such step AS an alternative, it
was proposed that the federal gov
ernment take over police functions
in Prussia. What would give the
reich control of the 10000 Prussian
police, largest armed force in Ger
many outside the regular army, and
would abolish states rights for a
territory comprising two-thirds of
Germany.
Prohibition of outdoor demon
strations merely was the first step
in the governments preventive
measures. 1t also was planned to
decree the death penalty on per-
sons caught with weapons in their
hands or stealing explosives. How
ever, they would be prosecuted in
the ordinary law courts, the cabinet
declining to enforce martial law.
The widespread disorders of the
weekend continued today, although
not in such violent form. At Naun-
nG -Rear Peipzig, eight Reichsban-
ner men were injured in a fight
with Nazis who demolished the
local workers gymnasium. Minor
disorders occurred in Munich, and
at Kempten anti-Fascists valnly
tried to halt a Nazi parade with
barricades. At Freising, Nazis
stormed beer cellar, headquarters
of the local Republican Reichs-
banner, and several were slightly
injured.
Communists, hiding on roof tops
and in windows, fired on several
thousand Fascists parading at Al
tona, suburb of Hamburg. The
Nazis and police returned the fire.
Soon the suburban streets were
turned into a battle-ground.
Police reserves were rushed to
Altoona. Armored cars went on pa
troll. Authorities succeeded in es-
tablishing order but there appeared

3 Die IN
HIGHWAY
CRASHES
Boy And Girl Victims Of
Saturday Night Wreck
On HOltville Road.
ANOTHER MAY DIE
Third Death Occurs This
Morning On Road Near
Westm0rland.

Death by automobile accidents
Saturday night and this morning
had claimed three victims among
Imperial Valley residents, while
physicians and hospital attendants
were fighting to save the life of
fourth person injured Saturday
night in the crash which killed a
youth and girl
An almost miraculous escape from
death marked another accident, on
the Mountain Springs grade, in
which a truck and trailer loaded
with hay burned to the ground,
causing an estimated loss of $4,000
and blocking traffic over the high
way for two hours.
The dead are:
Jacob j. Holmes, rs, Brawley,
killed this morning when struck by
gasoline tanker on the Los An
geles highway east of Westmorland.
Oliver Ekart, 20, Brawley, killed
Saturday night four and a half
miles east of El Centro.
Ruth Mayvene Huddleston, 18,
Brawley, killed in the same acci-
| dent which claimed the life of Eek
art.
Physicians at the Ell Centre hos
pital carried a seemingly hopeless
fight for the life of Albert Evans,
81, who was injured in the acci-
dent east of Ell Centre. A blood
TRANSMISSION was made shortly after
noon today, but little hope was held
for the young mans life.
Harold Pound, 81, the driver, and
Bessie Gilbert, 20, both of Braw-
ley, were the only ones who escaped
injury in the accident which
claimed two lives and yet may take
third victim. Both were riding
in the front seat, while the others
were in the rear seat of sedan.
Pound was plotting the car east,
after leaving Ell Centre. AT the
scene of the accident a Mexican
had left touring car, without
lights, parked on the pavement. A
truck driven by o. F. Kendall of
Ell Centro was travelling west. This
was at IL o'clock Saturday night.
Pound swerved his car sharply,
but did not miss the parked auto
mobile. Instead he crashed into
the left rear end of the touring
car, then swerved again, crashing
into the right rear side of the
truck. The truck travelled 200 feet
before stopping and Pounds car
went 80 feet after the crash. The
truck ana touring car were severe
ly damaged and Pounds car was
demolished.
Frank Smyer, Ell Centro traffic
officer, was summoned to the scene
when no other officer was avail
able. He could not locate the
Mexican who left his car parked
on the highway, and continued ef-

OF
ARMS PARLEY To
BE TAKEN SOON
Proposals Praised But No
Decision Taken On Sub
jects Discussed.
BY STEWART BROWN
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

GENEVA, July 18. U.H The
world disarmament conference, the
hope of peace lovers for world
peace, prepared to adjourn today
with praise for certain proposals,
but with no definite recommends
tionS the climax of months Of dis
cussion and disagreement.
The American. British and Italian
delegates did, however, agree 10
extend the armament truce sug-
gested by the latter beyond No.
vember l.
The preliminary agreement was
expected to prohibit aerial bomb
ing of civilians, and to abolish
poison and archaeological gas war;
fare and tanks over 20 tons.
The American and British dele
gates decided to ask the French to
accept modified American plans for
limitation of armed effectives and
other American proposals already
accepted by the British The at
titude of the French was expected
to determine the success or failure
of the draft disarmament resolu-
ton.
The skeleton of the agreement,
replacing the plan of Edouard
Benes who failed to mention sa-
lient points of the Hoover plan in
cluded:
l. A long preamble praising the
Hoover plan as an aid to consol-
idating peace.
2. Suggestions, but no decisions,
regarding where results might be
achieved in disarmament.
3. A statement pointing out that
the suggestions, which will include
the American plan for limitation
of effectives, are merely the first
stage of disarmament.
4. The method to be adopted by
the steering committee when re-
sumption of the conference is ar
ranged.
S. Extension of the armaments
truce.
The American delegation, having
no minimum figure on which the
draft resolution could be accepted,
believed it would be fortunate if
an agreement was obtained on part
of the electives plan.

MANY VETERANS
REPORTED To BE
LEAVING CAPITOL

WASHINGTON, July 10. U.P)-
Leaders of the bonus army exhort-
ed their men today to remain in
Washington and continue their
struggle for government help but
an increasing number of veterans
appeared to be anxious to quit the
fight and return to their homes.
The veterans administration
thronged with applicants for trans
portation advances on their ad-
justed service certificates. More
than 1000 veterans have been fur
nished transportation and several
hundred others were waiting in
line to make out the necessary
forms.
Roy Robertson, the crippled Cali
fornian, who dominated the excit-
ing scenes at the capitol last week,
was attempting to work out some
plan for forcing a special session
of congress or forming a perma-
nent organization of the bonus
army. Thus far he has been un-
able to gain any concentrated sup
port for his plans.
John Pace, leader of another fac
ton, attacked Robertson as new
dictator attempting to usurp the
place of Walter w. Waters, the
nominal commander of the entire
bonus expeditionary force. Pace
was considering leading his men in
another White House demonstra-
ton, similar to the one attempted
unsuccessfully Saturday night.
Three of the veterans arrested
Saturday near the White House
were placed on trial in police court.
Judge Given ordered the court
room cleared of veterans and pre-
vented the demonstration planned
by friends of the prisoners.

HOOVER PLANNING
QUICK ACTION ON
RELIEF MEASURES

WASHINGTON, July 18. UH-
President Hoover is acting quickly
to put in effect the giant relief
measures enacted in the closing
hours of the congressional session.
The President announced he
would sign Tuesday the $2,122 ,000,-
600 unemployment aid measure. He
hailed it as "a strong step toward
recovery" He said the provision
for reconstruction corporation loans
of 1,500,00O,000 for revenue pro-
ducing public construction would
ultimately provide work "for hun
oreds of thousands of people with
out drain on the taxpayer"
Mr.. Hoover also will sign the
home loan bank measure setting up
a system of discount banks.
The Presidents statement on the
unemployment relief program was
issued through the White House
while Mr.. Hoover rested at his
Rapidan camp. He motored there
Sunday morning and expected to
return late today or early Tuesday.
MIR. Hoover summed up the bene-
fits of the relief bill thus:
"First - Through provision of
$300,00O000 of temporary loans for
the Reconstruction Finance corpo-
ration to such states as are abso-
lutely unable to finance the relief
of distress, we have solid back
log of assurance that there need
be no hunger and cold in the
United States. These loans are to
be based upon absolute need and
evidence of financial exhaustion.
I do not expect any state to resort
to it except as a last resort.
Second Through the provision
for $1,50O,O00,00O of loans for the
Reconstruction Finance corpora
tion for reproductive construction
work of public character on terms
which will be repaid, we should
ultimately be able to find employ
ment for hundreds of thousands OF
people without drain on the tax
payer.
"Third-Through the broadening
of the powers of the corporation in
the character of the loans 1t can
make to assist agriculture, we
should materially improve the po-
sition of the farmers"

was thrown into the sweat box. y

Maillefert, weakened by his ex-
perience, was placed in the box,
a chain around his neck. An hour
later he was found dead, strangled
by the chain.
G.. w. Courson and Sol Higgin-
botham were indicaed after the

Two months ago Harold Bradley,

camp where such tortures, plus the

Grated prison guards.
Governor Carleton promised an
investigation of that shooting after
news of the Maillefert sweat box
death brought renewed demands
for an investigation.
Last Wednesday a Negro prisoner
in a Spaulding county, Georgia
prison camp died of "sunstroke, u
guards reported. Physicians who
performed an autopsy on Jim Las
sitter, the prisoner, said he died of
a fractured skull
P. H. Randall, superintendent of
the camp, has been charged with
murder as result of that death.
And if reports held by German
are correct, fourth man has fallen
victim to enforcement of discipline
within a few weeks.
German is making an intensive
investigation of the prison camps
in this state. He already has de-
manded removal of j. H. Baker,
guard captain, who succeeded Cour-
son. Baker, according to German,
was chiefly responsible for the pun
ishment methods used.

GOVERNMENT Aid
PROVIDED FOR in
new LEGISLATION
Relief Bill And Loans
For Homes Expected To
Stimulate Business.

WASHINGTON, July 18. W.P)-
Administration leaders are mobiliz-
ing today in the nationwide war
against depression, combination of
credit, unemployment relief and ex-
panded currency aggregating $4,-
922, 600, 900.
The impact of this vast combin-
alton against stagnant business is
expected to arouse commerce to new
life.
Congress put these weapons in
President Hoover's hands SaturSey
by enacting finally the home loan
bank and unemployment relief
bills. Mr.. Hoover will sign the re-
lief bill tomorrow.
Unemployment relief provides
So, ,122, 100000 divided among pro-
! jects for direct human relief and
construction of public works and
self-liquidating projects.
The home loan discount bank
system created by congress was said
by Senator Watson (Rep.) Indiana,
its sponsor, to be capable of credit
expansion to the extent of $780,
100000. This credit is designed to
make liquid investments in home
mortgages.
Attached to the bank bill as a
rider was the G!ass-Borah amend
ment authorizing currency expan-
sion aggregating $1,000 100000. j.
w. Pole, comptroller of the treas
ury, is preparing for Mr.. Hoover a
report on this project.
The purpose of currency expan-
sion is to increase commodity prices
which means to decrease the pur-
chasing power of the dollar. A
dollar which now buys three bushels
of wheat might after expansion of
the currency purchase only two.
Mr.. Hoover has not committed
himself formally to currency ex-
pansion but congressional leaders
were confident Saturday that he
would sign the bank bill with its
expansion rider Unless Pole re-
ports adversely on the project, the
new money should be available al
most Immediately.
The additional $1,000, 100000 of
new money would be in the form
of national bank notes. Federal
bonds not hitherto eligible as Sc
curity for issue of national bank
notes are made eligible by this leg
| iSlation.
Two Limitations
There are two limitations. First
no bond is eligible for note issue
if it's interest rate is greater than
39s per cent. Second, national
banks may not increase their ag-
gregate note issue beyond the total
of their capital stock.
The relief bill appropriated $780,
100000 for emergency relief loans
to states: $1,50O,0O0,000 for the Re-
construction Finance Corporation to
loan political subdivisions and i'm
provement districts for self-liquid-
ating public works; and 1922, ,000, 900
| for public construction.
The Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration was engaged today in ex-
pending its machinery to take care
of the huge additional volume of
applications for loans expected to
pour in upon it.
First to be dispersed, it was ex-
pected, would be the 5000, 900
for emergency relief loans. States
may become eligible for participa-
tion in these loans on application
properly supported. This money
will be used by the borrowers for
relief of suffering and it is expect
ed to tide over states and COM
munities whose relief funds are
now depleted, through the coming
winter.
