Coleman's petition for release

However, the petition relates an

His mother asserts he was taken

A wife testified today in superior

her to force her to make beer for
him, but she considered that drink

having her husband spend his

The Democrats, since AL Smith
surprised them by rolling up 100000

up.
They have rallied behind Roose-
welt. They have no bosses vet,
only workers. And theirs is a dues
paying outfit even in the hard
times.
For the first time since 1910 they
have refused to fuse with the Re
publlcanS in the usual, nonpartisan
drive to break the Socialists control
of the city government here. They
hope to grab off few local, state

Andean Streams Are Searched for
Precious Metal.
By Times Special
SANTIAGO, Sept. 12.-At a time
when so many nations are trying
to devise means to strengthen their
financial position, the experiment
undertaken by the Chilean govern
ment can not fail to arouse interest.
An army of unemployed to the
number of 100000 is to be set to
work washing for gold in the scores
of streams that flow down the An
des between africa and Cape Horn.
BY this means the government
believes it win be able to replenish
its Golfers and restore a favorable
balance on the treasury ledgers.
That the Andean streams have
not completely lost that wealth-giv-
ing power that contributed to the
fabulous treasure of the Incas,
seems to be shown by the fact that
10000 men "panning'' on the water
courses in June produced 5000
ounces Of gold, and juStifies the ex-
pectation of the government that
100000 men working in August can
produce $4,000 ounces.

ALL-MIDWEST
FARMING STRIKE
is THREATENED
Indiana to Take Part in
Uprising, Declares Head
of Holiday Board.

By United Press
DIES MONIES, Ia, Sept. IA
general farm strike in eleven mid
western states effective Sept. 81 was
predicted today by Milo Reno, head
OF the National Farmers Holiday
Association.
Reno said the strike, if called
would be in protest against failure
Of the Governors conference on
farm problems to meet all demands
OF the holiday association.
He admitted the Governors con-
terence was long step in the
right direction"
The Governors of nine great
farming states meeting at Sioux
City Ia. proposed that American
agriculturists, aided by the federal
government, withhold farm pro-
duce from the markets of the world
until favorable prices can be OBJ
tanned.
Embargo Is Refused
The Governors also recommended
that such a project ultimately
should provide for control of pro-
duction Of food products in the agri-
cultural states but they fatty re-
fused the request of the Farmers
Holiday Association for state en-
torcement Of an embargo on farm
products until prices reach "equi-
table" levels.
Governors of South Dakota. Iowa
North Dakota, Minnesota attended
and representatives of Governors of
Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Wyom-
ing and Wisconsin took part.
Reno revealed that at a meeting
OF the executive committee of the
holiday association in Sioux CITY,
Saturday a resolution was adopted
calling upon the Governors for de-
cislve action, and indicating that
II the farmers demands were not
met general strike would be called.
Indiana Ready, Says Reno
The same resolution provided for
meeting at Sioux City Sept. 10.
The following states already are
organized and prepared to strike,
Reno said: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa.
Kansas and Oklahoma. He said Ne
braska would be organized this
week.
Reno viewed ANY appeal to the
President on behalf of American
agriculture as a waste of time"
He ridiculed the recommendation
that farmers be recognized as suit
able risks for loans from the Re
construction Finance Corporation.
If other groups of society will con-
cede us production costs for our
goods, we will need no more credit, "
he said.
Iowa Roads Picketed
Pickets reappeared in full
strength on all Iowa highways lead
ing into Sioux City. Picketing of
roads near there had not ceased
during the conference, but had been
prosecuted in desultory manner
until today.
J. F. Kriege, acting head of the
Nebraska Farmers Holiday Associa-
ton, announced all Nebraska high
ways would be picketed beginning
Sept. 20.
The blockade, would affect not
only Sioux City, but all market
centers in the state, he said.
1T will sperad like wildfire to every
town and city in the midwest" said
Kriege.
