Yesterday may be the same men
who took $150,000 during San

calling him by name. When he ad-
mitted them they produced guns,
bound him with tape and wire,
gagged him, and locked him in
bathroom.
Then they walked from the hotel
with the iewelry. Their methods
were identical with those used by
two men who robbed Bernard Lam

SLAIN PRINCE
REPUTED SON OF
AUSTRIAN RULER

PARIS, Aug. II. U.1)-The color
full, adventuresome past of Edgar
de Bourbon, reputed son of the late
Emperor Franz Joseph, intrigued
Investigators today as they ques-
toned his timid, Spanish woman
companion who said she killed him
yesterday with a razor.
Senorita Ondelerai Brau Solor
bespectacled beauty specialist OF
nearly 40 years, who admitted she
slashed the prince" in her hotel
apartment after he threatened her
with the razor, apparently could
furnish no definite information.
He held the reputation of an in
ternational adventurer. Some said
he was a son of the late Franz
Joseph, and that his mother was
Alice De Bourbon.
The prince" past go years of age
and somewhat eccentric, had posec
many years member of the Aus.
trian branch of the French roya
family. He was once in New Yorl
where, as Prince Charles Alber
Edgar Serge Caesar de Bourbon
he was widely popular at society
affairs.
He obtained a high position With
the United States navy and, by
report, was married to Claire dc

ter of a former minister to China
She died 10 years ago. Their son
Rodolph de Bourbon, 30, now sells
automobiles in Cleveland, o.
Police cabled the son today after
having found a letter on the body
of his father, addressed and sealed
The letter had not been mailed, de-
tectives said, because the man did
not have money to buy stamps.
The newspaper LIE Matin said po-
lice are investigating the possibil-
ity that the prince" was involved
in the monarchist revolt earlier this
week in Spain, and that he likewise
was sought in the coup d'etat
against the late Spanish dictator,
Primo Rivera.
The prince" according to legend
led the Malissori uprising against
the Turks and was elected a tribal
chieftain in recognition of his SER
vices. He was arrested as a spy by
the British during 1916, but was ac-
quilted.

PROTEST FILED
AGAINST RUSSIA
BY MANCHUKU0

CHANGCHUN, Manchuria, Aug.
IT. U.P)-The foreign commissioner
of Manchukuo government at Har-
bin today filed protest with the
Soviet consul general demanding
that the Russian government cease
what it called "invasions of Man
churia."
The protest asked that Soviet
trenches and barbed wire entangle-
ments at Manchuli be "demol-
ished," and that Soviet forces
withdraw to a safe distance to
avoid the danger of fighting.
At Mukden it was understood
among japanese leaders that
Russia has advised the Chinese gov
ernment at Peiping to continue de-
Tending the province of Jehol
against threatened Japanese mill
tary operations, by "use of guerilla
bands in Manchuria." This pur-
portedly was to prevent the spread
of the Manchukuo governments in
fluence into outer Mongolia.
Meanwhile public attention was
attracted. to Harbin where the
ravages of cholera, typhus, scarle-
tina, diphtheria and smallpox are
growing hourly more severe. Air
planes are being used to rush food
and medicine to the city. The epi-
demic started among refugees from
the recent floods.

American newspaper publishers
today expressed their sympathy and
agreement with the Lindbergh
family's appeal for privacy and
less publicity for their family, but
denied that publicity was in a
large measure responsible for the
death of the first born"
Their denials were in connection
with the appeal addressed to news
papers by Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh last night in which he said
1T is impossible for us to subject
the life of our second son to the
publicity which we feel was in a
large measure responsible for the
death of our first"
"The appeal comes from hearts
that have been crushed by a merci-
less experience the like of which
has not been suffered by individuals
within the memory of living man."
James G. Stahlman, publisher of
the. Nashville Banner, Nashville,
Tenn, and president of the South
ern Newspaper Publishers associa-
ton, said.
"I cannot agree that publicity
was in q large measure responsible
for the death of the first born nor
do I believe the father and mother
can hope to escape the SUNLIGHT of
publicity which shines on all who
have become world figures.

have been pestered by certain sec

FRACTIONAL SPLIT
BREAKS OUT IN
LIBERTY PARTY

ST. LOUIS, Aug. IT. W.H-The
jobless Liberty party, here to nomi--
nate candidates for President and
president of the United States,
split wide open right at the ny
phen today.
Father James Cox, Pittsburgh
Catholic priest, called about 300 OF
his "blue shirt" followers into ses-
sion to nominate candidates for
the jobless party :,
w. H. (Coin) Harvey, 81-year-old
free silver advocate, withdrew two
miles down the shore to Creve
Coeur lake with 100 of his Liberty
party delegates to hold a separate
convention.
The dispute between the two
party leaders arose when Harvey
intimated Father Cox should with
draw his candidacy for the presl-
Dental nomination of the combined
parties because of his religious al
filiations.
Father Cox never steps aside
and particularly will not step aside
if the religious question is raised,
the priest replied and led his fol-
lowers away from the conference
of leaders of the two parties.
I'm disgusted," Harvey retorted.
First Father Cox fails to keep MS
word to bring 100000 delegates
here and now he wants to spoil our
chances of victory by injecting the
religious issue"
A nominating committee was re-
uorted to have agreed upon Father
Cox for president and DR.. Victor
Tisdal, Elk City, Okla, physician
for vice. president.

NEW POLICY FOR
LEASING ACREAGE

Imperial Irrigation district direc-
tors established a general policy re-
garding sale and lease of district
property by passage of two resolu-
tions at their regular meeting at
headquarters yesterday.

rate plus water tolls and gate
charges and plus seven per cent Of
the valuation. Prior to passage of

for less than SIS an acre.

delinquent assessment from the first
deed date up to and including the
current assessment, according to
the resolution.

forms a general policy to which di-
rectorS may adhere when handling
the sale and lease. of district prop
erty and the policy is expected to
save time and trouble for all
concerned.

Urges American
Envoy In Russia

WASHINGTON, Aug. IT, UP
Col Frederick Pope, consulting ell
gineer and industrial banker, who
has urged repeatedly that Ameri-
can business be represented in
Russia by an unofficial Observer -
was here today on an undisclosed
errand.
"I am more convinced than ever
that we should have at least an
unofficial observer there" he said
on his return to this country, "al-
though my recent trip has con-
firmed my strong opinion that now
is not the time to resume normal
diplomatic relations.
He said he believed millions
would be spent by Russia In this
country even with unofficial recog-
milton. He did not discuss the flo
tation of an internal bond issue
announced recently for sale to cit
izens of all countries In their own
currency.

PRESS IN GENERAL ACCORD ON
REQUEST MADE BY LINDBERGH

in the limelight, of course they
must expect to be treated as other
public characters in the news, but
until their children become promi-
nent by virtue of their own efforts
they should be accorded the same
rights as those enjoyed by other
normal, healthy children of more
obscure parentage.
Agreement General
"By all means leave the Lind
berghs with their loved one on
their mountain top in their new
found happiness and in that peace
to which even cruel and news
hungry world would not deny that
they are entitled"
Publishers generally agreed with
Stahlman's views.
w. Verne Mckinney, president of
the Oregon State Editorial associa-
ton, and publisher of the Hills
boro, Ore, Argus, said:
LESS attention should be given
to the affairs of the Lindbergh fam
lily. but his statement placing
blame on the newspapers is unfair.
Racketeering must be blamed rath-
er than the press"
Neil Murray, E. Monte, president
of the California Newspaper Pub
fishers association, said: mot only
do newspapers of California feel
they did not contribute in any way
to the death of the first son, but
they feel they were in a measure
instrumental in helping obtain a
federal law making death the pen
atty of kidnapping thus safeguarding
so far as possible the life of the
second son. While deeply sympa-
thetic for the Lindberghs, the pub
lie must know full well that pub
licity concerning the first baby had
nothing to do with it's tragic death
If publicity of any kind had any
thing to do with it, it was that per-
tanning to the flying feat which
brought Lindbergh from obscurity
to world prominence,

record for attendance that netted
the organizing committee more than
$1,000,000 profit.

sentation realized enough money to
repay the state $1,o00,OOO for the
bonds which were voted in 1928 to

FARMERS STRIKE
CONTINUING TO
CAUSE TROUBLE
Cla S h With Deputies
When Trucks Pass
Through Picket Line.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Aug. II. WP)
Police and special deputies early
today repulsed an attack of 450
striking Iowa farmers on the Sioux
City stockyards.
Armed with clubs and brickbats
the farmers stormed the yards af-
ter more than a score of livestock
trucks had eluded pickets on nine
paved highways leading to the city.
They were repulsed by 20 deputy
sheriffs and 25 city police as they
sought to take livestock from pens
and from trucks which had run
the blockade.
Farmers were helpless against the
latest attack. Deputies, after a
day of passive resistance accom-
panied many trucks through farm
ers lanes during the night. They
stood on the running boards and
swung clubs at strikers who at
tempted to block their progress.
Down muddy side roads and un-
used by-ways independent farmers
smuggled their stock to market,
after deadlock yesterday in which
only six trucks broke the strike
barriers.
Enraged by the show of armed
force which they could not fight
without similar weapons, the farm
ers assembled in a noisy mob and
| headed in automobiles for the stock
yards, bent on liberating stock
bought in defiance of their pickets,
but police, led by Sheriff John A..
Davenport, and 80 newly-com-
missioned deputies, repulsed the
attack by a show of arms. There
was no shooting.
After more than 20 minutes CT
bitter wrangling, the farmers re-
treated and once more resumed
their picketing.
Attempts to arbitrate the milk
war ended in failure. Farmers held
steadily to demands for an increase
of SLIT per hundred pounds in the
wholesale milk price. Distributors,
led by ]. r. Roberts, president Of
D. company with large dairies here
and at Omaha and Lincoln, Neb.,
refused to accede to the demands.
Roberts firm has been importing
by rail 1000 gallons of milk daily.
A three-hour conference between
the two factions dissolved in dead
lock last night.

(U.P) - The newborn son of Col.
and Mrs. Charles Augustus Lind
bergh slept in his crib here today,
closely guarded from the inquisi-
tive world by private detectives and
his fathers public request for
privacy.
Colonel Lindbergh, happy over
the safe arrival of an heir, was
taking every precaution to prevent
recurrence of the tragedy which
brought death to his first-born, and
bitter grief to the parents.
The famous flyer asked the press
"to permit our children to lead the
lives of normal Americans" He en-
gagged additional guards to patrol
the Morrow estate here.
Night and day, sentinels will be
on watch over the tiny heir to the
fortunes and tragedies of one of

lice dogs watch the grounds.

understood today that the baby's
weight at birth was 6 pounds and
II ounces.

gains her strength the family prob
ably will return to Hopewell, de-
spite the fact their first born was
kidnapped there March /. The iso-
lated home in the Sourland hills
will be guarded by an army OF

ENGLAND OFFERS
SETTLEMENT OF
INDIAN PROBLEM
Plans Representation On
Basis Of Racial POpu-
latiOn.

LONDON, Aug. II. U.p - Great
Britain moved today to unscramble
India's racial hodge podge that long
has prevented real self-government
for that people by suggesting that
representation In the legislature be
based on racial population.
The settlement proposed, Prime
Minister Ramsay Macdonald said,
probably will be criticized by every
Indian community.
Representation long had been
disputed by Hindus and Moslems,
who form large part of India's S
conglomeration of races and castles
in her population of 360,OOO000.
Hindu leaders, including the
Mahatma Gandhi, now in prison,
had failed to compromise. The
government here was forced to act.
1t was testy problem, for in the
10 provinces of India are races with
some 200 different languages, and
score of religions, and rival
groups usually are fighting tooth
and nail.
The main struggle has been be-
tween the 200,000,000 Hindus and
the 100000 Moslems. Likewise
the untouchables, those pariahs of
India's caste system who number
45,000,000, have constantly been a
source Of trouble.
One of The interesting points of
Britain's settlement past is guar
| antee that 81 seats in the proposed
new legislature be given to women
This clause was inserted in the
face of protests from Indian women
that they do not want such priv
ileged treatment.
The settlement would give the
Moslems an ample majority in the
northwest frontier province, and in
the Sind, and bare working ma
jority in Punjab. No faction would
have a majority in the great state
of Bengal.

GARNER VISITS
In CAPITAL ON
WAY TO TEXAS
Democratic Candidate To
Reply To HoOver's Ac-
ceptance Speech.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. II. =
Speaker John N. Garner, Demo-
cratic presidential candidate,
returned today for a brief stopover
before going to Texas to write his
first bach of campaign speeches.
Garner expects to gather consid-
cradle campaign material from his
files here with which to meet the
onslaught of President Hoovers ac-
ceptance speech, many points of
which we're directed at his policies
in the house of representatives.
The speaker plans to leave for the
west tonight.
President Hoover charged that
the Democratic leadership of the
house sponsored wild" and dam
gerous inflationary projects. He
accused the house Democrats of
attempting to raid the treasury Ior
billions of dollars.
Garner'S first campaign task will
be to meet these charges. Republi-
cans have undertaken to make his
leadership of the house a principle
target in the campaign. They are
citing Democratic house measures
in support of their contention that
the issue is radicalism and haphaz-
ard experiment as against conSer-
vative leadership.
Garner will be on the stump
much of the campaign. He has
just completed his first important
mission as candidate. He has
consulted with the head of his
ticket, Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
regarding all questions of party
policy.
Visits Smith
He also sought to bring dis
gruntled friends of Alfred E. Smith
into line by reaffirming his ad-
miration for the 1928 candidate.
There was some feeling in Smith
quarters that Garner had been un-
necessarily hasty in using his dele
gates to break the convention dead
lock against Roosevelt at the mo-
ment when Smith and his allies
believed they were on the point of
stopping the New York governor.
Gamers diplomatic mission to
New York even carried him to the
point of calling on Smith in the
Empire State building. Smiths
silence after this gesture of peace
caused some wonderment among
Democrats despite Gamers state
ment that he was hopeful of the
former governors support.
