Normally heavy Republican ma

This year. these states will have
a total of thirty-five electoral votes.
CALIFORNIA; twenty-five is count

states.

Democrats believe they have fight

President Hoover is without news

change is strong and reports pre-

the state.
There is some doubt as to whether
/ the Democratic senatorial candi-

strongly as Roosevelt, due to some
opposition within the Democratic
party.

Once upon time, 1892 Indian
apolis time, there was a frog at
School 86 named Oswald.
Now Oswald was the Schools
ornament for a bird BATH But
Oswald was lonely cuss, and it
always seemed as if he needed
some one to keep him company in
the schools front yard.
Children in the school as well
as Patsy Shsrick, lao Hampton
drive, said the one thing to keep
oswald from ennui in his bath of
loneliness besides birds was a
companion.

So that's the why of the above

His name is Oscar, and he was
given to the children by Miss

Cruiser Speeds Patient.

Steaming 4,24O miles across the At
lantic at top speed the British cruiser
York has arrived at Plymouth, Eng
land, where it sent a member of the
crew, suffering from cerebro-spinal
meningitis (spotted fever to a hos
pital. Part of the voyage was through
a fierce gale. The York (s.4O0 tons)
went to quarantine station five miles
from Port of Spain, Trinidad. at the
end OF January, when part of the At
lantlc feet was visiting Trinidad, ow-
ing to the outbreak of the disease.
Serum was rushed to the warship by
air, and it was thought by the author
itieS that 1t would be more expedient
that the patient should be taken home
In the York than landed In Trinidad
for treatment. On the way, as the
condition of the man caused anxiety,
the order was given for full speed.

NORBECK MEASURE
TO AID FARMER IS
KILLED IN SENATE
Blame For Final Action ShuttIed
Back and Forth From
Hoover to Garner

Washington, July 15.-(AP)-
Blame for the failure of congress to
pass a one-year emergency farm re-
lief bill sponsored by Senator Nor
beck (Rep. 5. d., was shuttled Fri
day between Speaker Garner and
the threat of a presidential veto.
The senate definitely killed the
measure for this session when it re-
considered it's previous action in
passing the bill.
This requiem was sung after
Speaker Garner told newspaper men
President Hoover looked with dis
favor on the Norbeck plan. The
speaker added:
Congress appears to be taking
the attitude that it is useless to
waste energy in passing a bill that
is going to be vetoed"
However, Edward A. O'Neal pres
ident Of the American Farm Bureau
Federation. and Earl o. Smith. pres
ident of the Illinois Agricultural
Association, in a later statement, laid
the blame on the speaker as we'll as
those who supported, in the senate,
the motion by Bingham (Rep. Conn. },
to reconsider.
The O'Neil-Smith statement said
Gamers position was Inconsistent"
with that of Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt who urged immediate en-
actment of emergency legislation to
raise price levels on staple agricul-
tural commodities"

Aged N. p. Engineer
Keeps Old Tradition

Livingston, Mont, July 15.-(AP)
John B. Sires, 70, who will be re-
tired from the Northern Pacific in
Is days, holds true to the engineers
code that trains must be brought in
on time.
Thursday he was breezing along
through a tunnel of Bozeman Hill.
A flue burst, poured water into the
fire box of his locomotive and the
steam blew the fire box door open,
scalding Sires and disabling the loco
motive.
In great pain, Sires coasted his
train IA miles into Livingston, where
a waiting helper locomotive picked
up the train and brought it on into
the depot.
The train was only few minutes
late. The aged engineer will recover
from his burns.

C0NFEREES TRYING
TO GET RELIEF BILL
READY FOR PASSAGE
House Insists on Publicity 70,
Loans by Reconstruction
Corporation

Washington, July l5.-R-Fea,
they might be forced to approve bill
that would not suit the president
spurred senate and house conferees
Friday toward agreement on $2,l22,-
000,0 relief program.
There had been no definite word
from Hoover that he would not accept
the principal point at issue-a house
proposal that all loans by the recon-
struction finance corporation be made
public, not only the amounts, but the
interest as WE'LL
Senate confereeS were reported to
have been informed the president did
not approve, holding the provision
would be harmful to borrowers. Some
leaders hoped that. even though the
president did object. he would not
press his dissatisfaction to the point
of veto.
The house had voted 172 to $50 to
direct its conferees to hold out for
the publicity. There were indications
that. after this ballot, the senate
would yield and accept the PROPOSE
ton.
Conferees were particularly concern
ed as their discussions proceeded be-
cause they knew passage of a bill the
president would not sign simply meant
congress would sit longer. Hoover,
through the house Republican leader,
Representative Smell of New York,
had warned that congress would be
kept in session until 1t enacted an
acceptable relief bill. Sizeable blocs
in both house and senate had the
same objective.
Other representatives of the two
legislative branches had gotten togeth-
err on most portions of the administra-
tons home loan bank bill but remain
ed In disagreement on the Glass rid
er which would permit currency ex-
pansion Of nearly a billion dollars.
The last of the necessary annual
appropriation bills was on the statute
books, signed Thursday by the presi-
dent. It carried $500, 0o0, 900 for the
war department.

20-Month.Old Leslie Delano Is
Found Dead in Catch
sig. Basin Near Home

Minneapolis. July 15.-(AP)-Les-
lie Delano, 20-month-old boy, was
slain, w. C. Thurston, Anoka coun-
ty coroner. announced Friday after
reading report on the findings of
a University of Minnesota pathol-
ogist who examined the baby's or
gans. -
"We can see no other alternative
than MURDER" said coroner Thurs
ton, speaking for himself and DR..
James Mccartney, pathologist. The
boys body was found at the bottom
of a catch basin near his suburban
Columbia Heights home Thursday.
He had been sought by neighbors,
police. and national guardsmen since
his disappearance from home last
Friday.
DR.. Mccartney said strangulation,
either by a person or by close con-
finement and lack of air, might have
caused death.
He had been dead mot longer than
"a hours and more probably IL
hours" DR.. Mccartney said.
THE cause Of death was probab-
ly suffocation. He was probably
dead or dying when his body entered
the cesspool," coroner Thurston said.
1--WE can see no other alternative
than murder"
Mike Auspos, deputy sheriff,
theorized the crime was committed
by someone in the block in which
the Delano home is located. Very
likely by someone who participated
in the hunt for Leslie"

Debt Alliance Is
Raped By Hoover
President Tells Borah U. S,
Does Not Assume Combin-
ed Action is Planned
PLEASED At SETTLEMENT
Makes It Absolutely Clear This
Nation is Not Committed
in Any Way

Washington, July 15.-[F-The ad-
ministration does not intend to let
the United States be pludeeoned into
a revision Of war debts by any con.
certed agreement Of European nations
If there Is one.
The attitude of American powers
that be toward rapid developments
following the Lausanne conference
and "gentlemen's agreement" was ex-
pressed by President Hoover in a let.
ter to Chairman Borah of the senate
foreign relations committee:
while I do not assume 1t to be the
purpose OF any of these agreements to
effect combined action of our debt
ors, If 1t shall be 50 interpreted then
I do not propose the American people
shall be pressed into any line Of &C.
ton or that our policies shall be IL,
any way influenced by such q combi-
nation either open or implied" the
letter said.
Hoover expressed qualification at
settlement 'of the strictly European
problem Of reparations'' but said he
wanted to make 1t absolutely clear
the United States Is not in any way
committed to such agreements"
Score British Statements
The state department was particu-
larly interested In official British
statements attempting to wipe out
any impressions that European ma
tons were combining to force war
debt revision upon the United States.
They expressed pleasure at the Brit
ish position the Anglo-Frencn accord
would not keep Great Britain from
discussing her debts individually with
the United States.
Some state department officials,
however. emphasized the line In the
Anglo French accord binding the two
governments to consult on ANY cues
tions :. similar in origin to that now
so happily settled at Lausanne which
may affect the European regime"
It was made clear once more that
the American position Is the same as
in June. 1881. when President Hoover
proclaimed the one-year moratorium.
He opposed debt cancellation but ex-
pressed opinion the American people
would not want to force any other
nation to pay more than 1t could.
U. S. Not Consulted
The Lausanne agreement provides
that reductions in German repara-
tions are not to be made unless the
United States revises its debt con-
tracts with European nations. On
this point, President Hoover wrote to
the Idaho senator:
II wish to make 1t absolutely clear
that the United States has not been
regarding any of the agree
ments reported by the press to have
been concluded recently at Lausanne.
and that Of course it Is not party to
nor in any way committed to any
such agreements"
The presidents letter, 1t was UNDER
stood. was directed more at the Lau-
same agreement than the Anglo
French accord.
Regardless of European action. con-
yress is in an almost immovable po-
sition toward cancellation or reduce
lion of war debts. Members of house
and senate point out frequently that
var debts and reparations already
nave been revised twice.
