ZONE FARE SYSTEM
IS URGED BY KEECH
Peoples Counsel Tells Rhode
Island Avenue Citizens of
Need for Change.

Although his plan for zone street
car and bus fare is at present lying
dormant, Richmond B. Keech, people S
counsel, told the Rhode Island Avenue
Citizens Association last night he hopes
that this, or some similar scheme, will
be placed in effect soon.
In discussing his plan, Mr. Keech
said the serious situation faced by the
street car systems here due to loss of
revenue was not peculiar to Washing
ton. The zone fare system has proven
beneficial wherever tried, he said, and
has the backing of leading public utility
experts.
He advanced the theory that private
automobiles. rather than fiat rate taxi
cabs are responsible for the principal
inroads into the car companies revenue.
In response to queries, he assured mem
bers of the association that under his
plan the maximum fare to be charged
would be 10 cents.

HOOVER LAUNCHES
FLOOD LABOR QUIZ.
Appoints Special Commission
to Investigate Mississippi
Charges.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
At President Hoover's direction,
special commission today was formed
to Sift charges of the mistreatment OF
colored laborers by private contractors
doing the Governments flood control
work on the Lower Mississippi River.
Creation of the commission, consist
ing of one white and three colored men,
was announced at the White House
last night. It's inquiry will be directed
at charges similar to those already
under investigation by Army engineers.
The White House statement said:
Charges have been laid before the
President that some of the private con-
tractors doing work for the Govern
ment on flood control projects on the
Lower Mississippi River are paying un-
reasonably low wages to Negro employees,
overcharging the men at the contrac-
tors commiSSarieS, keeping their camps
in a very unsanitary condition and. IN
some cases. resorting to physical
violence in the treatment Of the men.
Grant on Commission.
"The President has requested Dr.
Robert r. Motion, head of TuSkegee
Institute; Judge James A: Cooo OF
WASHINGTON. D. c., and Mr.. eugene
Knickle Jones. executive secretary of
the Urban League of New York City,
representing the Negro race, and Lieut..
Col. U. S. Grant. representing the
United States Army, to make thorough
and impartial inquiry as promptly as
possible.
He has directed the members of the
commission to proceed at their earnest
convenience to the places where the
construction work is being carried on
bv these contractors and to report TO
him on the facts as determined by their
investigation Immediately upon It's con-
Clusion.'
For months past. charges have been
made at varying intervals that conol-
tions in some places amounting almost
to slavery existed on the privately
contracted Government projects along
the Mississippi River Army engineers,
investigating the charges, have reported
on several occasions that the lack OF
specific charges hampered their studies.
Earlv in the last session of Congress.
William Green. president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, requested the
House Labor Committee to make an
Investigation of conditions on these
projects. asserting that reports coming
to him indicated colored labor was
being mistreated.
Closed Hearing Held.
Later. closed hearing was held by
War Department officials upon similar
charges by the National Association Tor
the Advancement of Colored People.
Brig. Gen. George B. Pillsbury, assist
ant chief of Army Engineers, in sub
sequent statement said he had been un-
able to obtain "any specific evidence
of mistreatment of Negroes by con-
tractors other than the general state
ment that camps and food were un-
sanitary"
so the information submitted is of
practically no value to the department
in pursuit of the investigation it is
carrying on" Pillsbury added.
The White House statement made no
mention of the source of the charges
it said had been placed before the
President.

4 HORSES DIE
IN $4,000 BLAZE
Stable of Famous Saddle
Mounts Destroyed Near
Charlottesville.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, october
27.-Fire destroyed IA fine horses, some
Of them noted champions on the East
ern horse show circuit. here early to-
day when two large barns at Birdwood,
the estate CT Henry L. Fonda, burned
to the ground. The horses were valued
at more than $4,000.
Most valuable of the animals was the
great stallion Richmont, one-time win
ner of the five-gaited stakes at the
Louisville Horse Show, and royalty bred
by Bourbon King out of the show mare
Margaret Weisinger. Two OF Rich
mont's gets, the chestnut mares Amer
cana and Birdwood Treasure, also were
among those lost.
Fonda, a native of Pennsylvania, who
came to Virginia 10 years ago to set up
the best known saddle horse breeding
establishment in the State, also had in
his stable My Golden Glory, winner of
championships at Brockton and Syra-
cuse, and conqueror of such good ones
as Dark Rex and Lucky Lindy at the
Madison Square Garden exhibition of
1923.
Americana, I'd. a chestnut mare that
won championship at Devon and was
never beaten in the show ring; Twilight
Maiden, winner at the National Show
in 1928; Goletta, one of the few remain
ing Rex Peavine mares, and Orange
Blaze, by Blazes, were others in the
string destroyed. Fonda also lost the
mare Heatherbloom, by Bourbon King;
Orangeade, mare by Athelin, I'd. and
the gray Percheron stallion Carpo, by
Car Victor.

maintained by Henry L. Fonda was well
known in Washington, where he often
won ribbons at. the annual National
Capital horse show.
Fonda establishment represented one
of the few efforts to breed five-gaited
and high-class three-gaited saddle
horses in Virginia, where the thorough
bred type predominates in number and
interest.
On thouSand-acre farm Just outside
Charlottesville. Fonda kept the finest
thoroughbred saddlers he could import
and breed. At the head of his stud was
Richmont, a splendid chestnut endowed
with good disposition and great ability
in addition to the best blood lines.
AS a horse breeder. Fonda's theory
was that cross between a show stall
lion and show mare would get the best
horses for the ring. Consequently the
brood mares he collected represented
some notable show records. Among
them he had. at one time, an unusual
number related to Rex Peavine. which.
next to Bourbon King. is considered by
many the best sire in American saddle
horse history.
Fonda's horses were stabbed in two
barns Of stone and frame construction
One usually was reSerVeri for cOltS and
young horses in training. the other for
brood mares, the stallion and show
horses.

HYDE ASSAILS TARIFF
POLICY OF DEMOCRATS
Change in Government Would In
crease Economic Distress,
Secretary Asserts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Calf, October 27-Ar-
thur NJ. Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture,
said in a campaign address here last
night economic distress would be in
creased by turning the reigns OF gov
ernmenJ over to Democrats at this
time.
History proves that while We can
have depressions under protection, we
never had prosperity without pro-
tective tariff" the Secretary asserted.
Il am willing to grant that II all
tariff walls we:e stricken down and all
of us purchased what we desired in
the cheapest market on earth We might
save some money" he added But let
us not forget that in striking down
prices we also strike down wages. we
strike down jobs we strike down mar
kets and we strike down people.
Herbert Hoover has said that he
stands squarely for the protective tariff
principle. Gov Roosevelt has accepted
the Democratic platforms declaration
for a competitive tariff for revenue. The
one invites the farmer to hold and i'm
prove his market, the other invites him
to go into competition with Russia,
China and Egypt

MRS, ROOSEVELT
IN CAMPAIGN TALK
Defends Husbands and Al Smith S
Administrations as
Economical.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, october 27.-Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, taking the stump
upstate last night for Lieut.. Gov
Herbert H. Lehman, Democratic candi-
date for Governor of New York, de-
Tended the administrations of her
husband and of former Gov Alfred E.
Smith against charges of extravaganza.
She described as economy done in
a very strange way S21.000,000 cut
made last year by the Republican Legis-
lature in the State budget submitted
by her husband and added that in 1881
1.-The Governor vetoed S6,000,000 in extra
requests introduced by the economical
Republican Legislature"
While Col. William j. Donovan, the
Republican candidate for Governor,
grieves over Democratic extravaganza, y
she said. "he forgets to mention the
fact that the economical Republican
LEGISLATURE at the last session put in
requests for $126,774, 900 for extras over
and above the Governors budget for
running the State"
Mrs. Roosevelt also said that eve
may have to face this next Winter a
situation far more serious than before,
with people far more desperate than
they have been up to now," and added
IF you and I were hungry I doubt
whether we'd be so patient as these
people have been so far"
Speaking from notes she prepared on
the train en- route here from New York
City today, Mrs Roosevelt addressed a
Democratic women's dinner for nearly
an hour She did not mention the
presidential candidacy of her husband
nor did she refer to him by name
Speaking of economy in government
Mrs. Roosevelt said:
ut is quite true to say that all gov
ernments are extravagant. Neither the
Democrats nor the Republicans can
quite truthfully say they have been as
economical as possible"

is not for me and he is certainly not
for Roosevelt. Four years ago he went
up and down the western section tying
me up to booze and the saloon. Now
his own party has declared for resub-
mission and he hasn't anything to say,
SO he's out there hoeing his Idaho
potatoes"
At this point Charles S. Hand of the
Democratic National Committee staff
whispered to Smith some reference to
reports IN some newspapers that at
the Democratic State convention Smith
had greeted Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
velt. the Democratic presidential NOM
inee. as ''old potato"
reporters.
His Idaho potatoes" he said. Not
his old potatoes"
Representatives OF Smith said today
that the former Governors address in
Buffalo, N. Y. on Saturday night will
be broadcast over an independent hook
up of six New York State radio sta
tions.
At Democratic national headquarters
it was said a speech by John w. Davis.
Democratic standard bearer in 1924, IN
Ithaca on the same night will be
handled over the Columbia Broadcast
ing system.
Arrangements Changed.
An official of the Columbia Broad
casting Co. said late yesterday his chain
originally had planned to make broad
cast for the Democratic National Com
mittee from Buffalo that night, but
that arrangements had been changed to
permit the picking up of the Davis ad-
dress instead.
In denying the Democratic National
Committee ever had planned to spon-
sor the Smith broadcast. an official of
the Radio Division said plans were
made more than a week ago to handle
the Davis speech and that no change
had been made.
1t was understood the Democratic
State Committee will sponsor the Smith
broadcast.
The Davis address will last from s:15
pm. until 10.
James A. Farley. chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, said
in statement today:
There is absolutely no foundation for
the rumor that any stations were in
structed to cancel any reservations that
had been made by the Democratic Ma
tional Committee for any Of Gov
Smiths broadcasts."
He said arrangements for broadcast
ing the Buffalo speech were made by
the Independent Citizens Committee
for the election of Herbert H. Lehman
and William Bray, candidates for Gov
ernor and Lieutenant Governor, re-
spectively, and at no time was it plan
ned to have a national hook-up.
Smiths Buffalo address, Farley said
will deal with State issues.
