 Washington, Aug 1e.-(UP)- Americas hungry horde of 200. 900 children comparable only to the so- called 'swild children" of Russia is Cumming back and forth across the nation In an endless junket to mo- where in an attempt to escape the depression.
 They seek only enough food to keep them alive as they pNsh out of the north and east in their flight to escape the sufferingNof the com- ing winter in the everlasting springtime of Southern California and Florida.
 Information on these wanderers strange products of the depres- sion--has, been assembled by the department of eslabor's children's bureau.
 officials feel there is little imme- diate danger of the children be- coming social menace, but the future Is dark with danger unless the Nomads can be returned swiftly to their homes and either placed in school or put to work. I

 Roosevelt ignored the remark, and asked Walker to go through all of the Sherwood accounts to see if he could identify any of the items as belonging to him.
 "Why should we be put to the burden. and expense?" Curtin asked.
 seabury meanwhile stepped up to the governors desk and offered in evidence the brokerage and bank accounts of Sherwood, which had been exposed before the open hearings of the Hofstadter com mittee in New York.
 Have you any records of the cash you gave Sherwood?" the gov ernor asked the mayor. T have not" Walker replied.

at the Biltmore Hotel by James A. Farley, national chairman, imme-
 diately after Mir Gamers return
 from Albany, where he conferred with Governor Franklin b. R0ose- welt, nominee for president. The luncheon was attended by a dozen party officials, mostly from the eastern states and score of the principal members of the national headquarters staff.
 At the luncheon, MT Garner, who
 made a nasty visit to the hotel bar Der shop immediately after he stepped off the train, was seated between Arthur F. Mullen. national committeeman from Nebraska, and Mrs Roosevelt, wife of the gover- nor.
 Taking advantage of a slip of the tongue by MT Farley who had in-
 troduced him as the next presi- dent", MT Garner observed that "at one time Barkis was wipninn'.|
 "I want you gentlemen from the east to know what a Rio Grande Texan looks like" MT Garner said. T want you to know that I have been in accord with the people in the eastern section of the United States for the past thirty years. I think I rather understand their ideas somewhat and l am firmly convinced that I can work with them in the matter of legislation. T have been accused in Texas
 of being more of a conservative
 than a progressive and have been alta cked by the progressives of my state. think I have some very
 progressive ideas. do not believe
 that power, money and property should be in the hands of few. For those of you who still have some property after these three years, realize that am not going to take 1t away. I have some my self, little. That is furthest from my mind"
 At this point. Joseph A. May nard, Massachusetts state chairman, put the first question.
 Questioned by Maynard "Mr Garner" MT Maynard said,
 "the sentiment in my state is very much for Alfred F.. Smith, prob- ably more In favor of him than in any other state. Were you for AL fred E. Smith and did you work
 for him in 1928? As in 1928. there
 is a whispering statement that you

 Still it was desired to get dyn- annie young Theodore on the stump. He cabled back that his work in the Philippines was not in shape to re left for a long trip home to campaign. Another up- gent appeal went back to him. His sister was brought in on the play.
 Brother Theodore always has been closer to Alice than any of the other Roosevelt children. She is credited with having helped smooth the way for senate apr proval of his appointment as gover- nor of Porto some years ago.

CHINESE MAKE
HEAVY EXPENSE
FOR GOVERNMENT

What Uncle Sam is spending and
will spend on the las Chinese
guests now held in the Imperial
county Jail would make a salts
factorily large bank account for
almost anyone, according to fig
ures coming from the end of the
agile pensil of Eddie Nett, jailer,
yesterday afternoon.
Each Chinese, Nett figured
costs about $400 from the time he
lands in Jail until the time he is
deported, which would make the
cost of the las now in custody just
$4,000, enough to buy an automo-
bile and lift the mortgage from
the old homestead.
Coming down to more immediate
figures and drawing upon his own
experience, Nett estimated each
Chinese, on an average, stays in
the county Jail Is days. For the
group now in custody, this makes
$2175 in coin of the realm the i'm
migration border patrol depart
ment pays to the county of I'M
perial for maintenance of the i'm
migration prisoners.
Taken to San Diego, it is highly
probable each Chinese will be SEN
fenced to six months in Jail be-
fore being deported to China.
Making a low estimate of $135 for
each Oriental during the six
months stay, it may be seen the
entire group, at the very least, will
cost the government $19,575 dur
ing the time they are serving their
sentences.
Other items, such as clothes and
other odds and ends, are not
counted in the general estimate,
which includes only food and
housing.
To follow out business methods.
the ambitious mathematical shark
might compute the percentage of
official salary which should be
charged against the Chinese, keep
ing in mind immigration officers,
bookkeepers, judges, court officials
and other officers.

famed Australian wonder horse, ="
was ascribed officially to collie in a
final report today by chemists,
veterinarians and federal officials
after a three weeks inquiry.
The report to d. j.. Davis or
San Francisco, Phar Laps owner,
said they were unable to determine
whether lead arsenate found in
vital organs caused the fatal at
tack of acute indigestion.
They added, however, that the
quantity of arsenate was very
SMALL" indicating a belief that
Phar Lap might have survived had
he been otherwise sound.
Traces of lead arsenate were
found on grass and leaves around
the horse stables at Menlo Park,
where he died. Department of ag-
riculture officials learned the
poison came from tree spray used
