Start Increment for
Slightly ROddsides.

A conference on roadside development
and Identification has been called by
c.. NJ Babcock, at the Offices of the
Minnesota Highway department, for
March II. The State Department of
Conservation, Minnesota Federation of
Women's Clubs, Minnesota Editorial
Association, American Legion, Isaac
Walton League, League of Municipal
tess, Minnesota Nurserymen's Associ-
alton, Minnesota Telephone Association,
the Outdoor Advertising Association,
power companies and oil companies
have been asked to send representatives.
Elements affecting roadside develop
ment, Mr.. Babcock says, may be
grouped as follows:
Those affecting the upkeep cost and
users such as structures, trees, and
parked vehicles, which may obscure the
view of the road or warning signs.
Thos eaffecting the upkeep cost and
operation of the highway, such as
structures or vegetation in position
where they may cause snow drifts or
obstruct drainage.
Those affecting the appearance OF
the highway, such as unsightly struc-
lures, mutilated trees, raw earthwork
and heterogeneous signs.
Possible remedies suggested for dis
cussion are more orderly arrangement
of structures, planting of trees and
shrubbery in positions where they will
not cause difficulty, proper placing OF
utility lines, and control of advertising
This may require partial contro
through a coming law, or interesting
property owners in proper planting
schemes and improvement of other con-
ditions near the right-of-way. Most Of
the troublesome elements are off the
right-of-way and beyond the control o,
the Highway department.

to give the alarm while the family
succeeded in carrying out the larger
part of the furniture. bedding and

brought to the city after the firemen
arrived and were lodged at the Forest
Hotel through the kindness of Mrs
Kelly.

KNIGHTS REPORTS
MORE BREAKS In
SEWER SYSTEM

Two new breaks in the Ell Centre
outfall sewer, one of which might
have caused considerable damage
If not discovered in time, were
found last night, adding to two
other breaks which already were
givi1sy the city engineers crew
considerable trouble.
Both new breaks were on the
Date road, about a mile and half
north of Imperial. Cave-ins caused
the road to be blocked to traffic.
Due to the nature of che cave-ins,
it was only by great luck that
some automobile, travelling over
the road, did not break through
the upper crust and tumble into
the sewer.
The breaks were discovered last
night, and crews rushed to the
scene Immediately. The men worked
until 2 o'clock this morning repair
ing the damage to some extent and
insuring against more serious DAM
age.
A great amount of storm water
drained down the outfall from I'M
perial kept the line under pressure
and undoubtedly contributed to
the breaks. Phil Knights, city en-
gineer, was watching the line anx-
iously today.
Due to the nature of the breaks
they are not discovered, in many
instances, before a great amount
of damage is done. Bricks falling
out of the pipes, because of the
decayed nature of the line, cause
cavity above the sewer, but not
extending to the surface. In at
least one case this cavity has ex-
tended to within a foot of the sur
face of the ground before being
discovered.
Often, when the ground becomes
weakened, as by water, the upper
crust caves in.

DENY WOMAN IN
BERN CASE HAD
PLANNED SUICIDE

SACRAMENTO, Oct. IL. UP
Dorothy Millette, red-naired mys-
terry woman in the life of Paul
Bern, suicide Hollywood movie di-
rector, had no intention of COM
uniting suicide when she left San
Francisco on a river steamer for
Sacramento, 1t was declared by Of
ficials here today.
The belief was expressed by
Chester F. Cannon, attorney for
Herman A. Koch, public admins
traitor, who is trying to save a por-
ton of Bern's estate for relatives
of Miss Millette.
Cannon received Miss Millette's
effects from San Francisco, and
disclosed she had taken a pair of
shoes to a repair store, had them
reheeled, and ordered them sent
collect to her hotel room on the
same day she bought round trip
ticket to Sacramento.
THAT was not the act of per-
son who intended to commit sui
eide" said Cannon.
"It is apparent she intended to
return to San Francisco, but the
awful loneliness, the realization
her source of income was cut off,
and the almost hypotic effect OF
the black water conspired to
change her mind

PLANS TO HELP
FARMERS SALES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-U.P)-
The Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration has decided to rush aid for
the distressed farmer by helping
him to get rid of his surplus pro-
ducts abroad.
The United Press learned that a
special division of the corporation
is being organized to arrange for
financing such foreign sales as
authorized in the unemployment
relief act.
Preliminary surveys by the cor
poration indicate that there are
available outlets for such surplus
products as cotton, grain, fruits
and pork, in some European coun-
tries, as well as in the far east.
Under terms of the relief act
the corporation is authorized to
promote the sale of agriculture

DIES MONIES, Iowa. Oct. II.
UP) Farmers of Iowa today
looked down the long corn rows
which will yield them the greatest
crop in the states history, and
wondered what can be done to
turn the bounteous harvest OF
more than a half billion bushels
into money to pay off farm mort
cages.
December corn was quoted on
the Chicago market at 261a cents
bushel. There appeared little
likelihood any protest would re-
main after two cents a bushel was
paid for husking the crop. Many
local elevators are bidding only 10
to Is cents a bushel for new corn.
Faced with this great crop-the
first time Iowa's corn has out
stripped the 5e0,000,00o bushel fig
ure-farmers contemplated several
methods by which they can add to
their return.
The greatest single consumption
will be in cattle feeding. Federal
and farm organization authorities
predicted 30 per cent will be fed
to hogs. The other 0,ooO

Famous Boxing
Trainer Dies

NEW YORK, Oct. IL. U.P)-Jim-
my DeForest, who began his ca
reer at the age of five as a"girl"
in a trapese act, and who became
a national sporting figure as train
er of boxers, died alone in his 81
room house in Long Beach, N. j.,
according to information received
by friends here today.
DeForest was nearly 10 years
old.
DeForest was only lad when he
turned to boxing. He was fairly
successful with his fists. Ills fights
were with bare knuckleS or light
gloves and took place in obscure
dives in New York's bowery. Boxers
won no fancy purses in those days.
Their pay consisted OF the money
thrown into the ring.
DeForest trained many a boxer
including Joe Cans, George Dixon,
Joe Walcott, Kid Mccoy, Tommy
Ryan, Pal Moore and Luis Angel
Firpo.

Defy Officials

MANILA, Oct. 12-U.P)-Warlike
Moro tribesmen, entrenched be-

Tayungan, continued to defy native
constabulary today and appeared
ready for an impending battle.
Members of the constabulary
who have hesitated to attack the
stronghold because of the large
number of women and children liv-
ing with the tribesmen, practiced
throwing hand grenades today
They were understood to be plan
ming an attack tomorrow unless the
Moros surrender.

tan Hiram of Sulu, former Univer-
sity of Illinois student, has at
tempted to persuade the tribesmen
to surrender peacefully, but her eff
forts have been unavailing, accord

TRANSPORTATION
TROUBLES AIRED
BY STATE BOARD

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12.-(UP)-
wildcat" operators, uncertificated
and unlicensed carriers, are respon-
sible for the present chaotic con-
ditions in CALIFORNIA; transporta-
ton industries, the state railroad
commission charged in report On
file today.
Conclusions drawn from trans
portation investigation conducted
during the past several months
brought a series of five r-reach-
ing recommendation for Stabiliza-
ton of the industry.
while the shipper carrier
and genuine contractor carrier are
in part responsible for the situa-
ton, the main cu7prit is the wild
cat operator who holds out his
service to the public, but denies it
in using alleged contracts and 9TH
er pretexts for a Defense" the re-
| port said.
Major recommendations for solv-
ing the problem included:
All transportation companies, on
land or water, whether operated as
common carriers or contractor
haulers, should be required to OBJ
tain certificates of public conven-
fence and necessity from the rail-
road commission. The only excep-
ton is for contractor haulers who
confine their operations to within
a radius of 80 miles beyond the
corporate limits of any city or viii
lage or shipping point, and not be-
tween cities.
Before issuing certificates of pub
lie convenience and necessity
there should be showing made OF
the necessity of the operation, the
financial responsibility of the APP
plicant, and that the rates charg-
ed in the case of contract hauler
are not less than reasonable rates
for the service rendered.
Means for the enforcement oil
the law should be provided within
the railroad commission, with is
costs betrayed by a charge upor
the industry rather than a tas
upon the public.
Better coordination of activitie,
of state railroad commission, the
certificating body; state board Of
equalization, the taxing body; dh
vision of motor vehicles, in charge
of registration; California highway
patrol, charged with tariff law en-
forcement, and the division of mar.
! ketS, dealing with regulation o.
peddler trucks handling agricul,
tural products.
The present law should bt
amended to permit: the seizure
confiscation and sale of equipment
found to be in illegal use, ano
making the revocation of license
plates compulsory in cases where
certificates of public convenience
and necessity have been revoked.
