DRAIN BACKERS
FIGHT GAG

Invoking the "antigag" rules
over the House to overcome an
adverse leadership, hackers of the
Glenn-Smith bill, creating a $780,
100000 revolving fund to aid
drainage and irrigation districts
launched a fight for passage in
the House today.
Denied the right for vote on
the measure by the Rule Com
mittee, sponsors of the measure
obtained the 145 signatures neces-
Sary for a vote by the House TO
discharge the committee.
The measure, proposed in the
Senate by Senator Glenn (RD of
Illinois and in the House by
Representative Smith (RD of
Idaho, authorizes the Secretary
of the Interior to lend money to
redeem bonds or other indebted
ness of levee, drainage. irrigation,
or similar rural improvement dis
tricts other than Federal reclama-
ton projects.
The 100000, 900 revolving fund
would be created by appropria-
tions of $20,OO0,OOO a year for
five years. The Secretary would
be prohibited from making loans
unless satisfied the Government
would be reimbursed at maturity.

A new drive for unemployment
relief was launched in the Senate
today by Senator Wagner CD
of New York, who sponsored q
bill designed to force Congress
into completing it's 1925 public
building program during the
coming year.
Completion of the program at
this time, said Wagner, would
give profitable employment to
hundreds of thousands of men,
spur industrial activity gener-
ally, increase freight returns Of
railroads, and tend to bring back
prosperity.
Wagner proposed to make
"test case" out Of New York's
allotment of the five-year old
program. His bill would autho-
rize an appropriation of $21,275,-
900 for erection of 106 public
buildings scattered throughout
New York State.

DETROIT .THUG
BREAKS JAIL

SOUTH BEND, Ind, March %
Q.N.S0.-Police throughout the
middle West were on the lookout
today for Basil Banghart, q,
member of the notorious Purple
gang of Detroit, who shot his way
to freedom from jail here yester-
day.
Released from solitary confine-
ment as part of the daily jail
routine, Banghart dashed through
a door lat had been left un-
locked by Stanley KlosinSki, turn
key, threw pepper in the eyes of
a trusty in the jail office, and
seized a sub-machine gun with
which he shot Klosinski in the
arm.
Klosinski surrendered his keys
and Banghart walked out the
front door and hailed a taxicab.
Police found no trace of his after
he left the cab in Mishawaka,
Ind.
Banghart was to have gone on
trial today for a holdup' commit
ted here two years ago. He was
arrested in Detroit two months
ago, and returned here.

8 DIE, 50 HURT
IN TW|STERS

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, March %
G.NS0.-Just beginning to re-
cuperate from a major storm dis
aster, wide sections of Alabama
and Georgia were laid waste to-
day as the aftermath of a new
series Of tornadoes, which killed
nine persons and injured $50
others.
Just as in the tornado catas-
trophe of last week when more
than $50 lives were lost, Alabama
again was the heaviest sufferer.
All of the nine deaths occurred
within the borders of this tor
nado-ravaged State.
BY the time the giant whirl-
winds reached Georgia, their
force had been somewhat
diminished. Only two Georgia
towns, Buchanan and Corinth,
were stricken.
Extensive property, crop and
livestock damage was reported
from all sections within the new
storm area. The tornado in
Walker county was accompanied
by a fall of hailstones as large
as baseballs which rained death
on cattle in the fields and
destroyed early crops.

SALES TAX FLOP
HITS DOLLAR

NEW YORK. March % G.N.SO .
Disappointment over failure Of
Congress to pass the sales tax
measure caused further selling of
dollars in the principal conti-
mental markets today.
The British pound, the franc,
guilder, and other European cur
rencies showed further rises
against the dollar, with the ster-
ling exchange in the van with a
2-cent gain.
The pound sterling opened to-
day in New York at $3.78A, up
cents over Saturdays close, and
then advanced to 1882 for a gain
of 63s cents.
Rise on the pound exchange
continued despite the efforts of
the Exchequer and the Bank of
England to stop it and therefore
London banking circles are look
ing forward to another cut in the
Bank of England rate this week.
The present rate is 312 per cent
and a 3 per cent rate is expected.

Show Tolerance

DUBLIN, March % T.N.SD.
Determined to abolish the oath
of allegiance to the British
crown regardless of conse-
quences, President Eamonn de
Valera today sought the advice
of legal and constitutional
authorities in drafting his reply
to the recent note of the British
government.
De Valera devoted the Easter
holiday to careful study of the
British communication, which
denied the Irish Free State
authorities the right to do away
with the oath and withhold the
land annuities.
It was understood that his ad-
vfSorS reassured the president of
the SoundneSS of his position, and
bolStered their contentious with
legal precedents. De Valera's
note will declare that the Irish
Free State is "unalterably COM
HlGGeQ TO aDOl1ClOn OF Cne OaCn

unswervingly."

learned from a reliable source to-
day that the surprising and un-
precedented absence of untoward
incidents during yesterdays Re
publican rebellion ceremonies
throughout the countrw was due
to the fact that Minister of JUS
tice George Hogan directed Gen
eral O'Duffy, of the Free State
army, not to molest the celebrants.
At Hegan's request, members of
the Free State army were kept in
the background. Reports from
various districts revealed that the
strength of the Irish Republican
army is far greater than previously
believed. More than $4,000 mem
bers marched in yesterdays pro-
cessionS, openly identifying them
selves with the Republican cause.

WHEAT SUPPLIES
OF WORLD SHOW
BIG REDUCTION

WASHINGTON, June 2. UP
The department of agriculture re-
ports continued reduction OF world
wheat supplies, pointing toward a
more healthy market situation.
While carefully refraining from
any predictions OF higher prices,
the department points out that
surplus producing countries in the
southern hemisphere have worked
their stocks of old wheat down to a
midday total of about 100000
bushels less than a year ago.
Although stocks in North amer
lea are approximately 100000
bushels greater than a year ago.
the report says, our probable crop
of hard rec Wincer wheat this year
has been estimated at less than
100000 bushels, which would be
less than half of last season. Hard
red winter wheat comprises our
chief wheat export. 1t is grown in
the plains country from South Da-
kota to Texas. Stocks OF native
wheat in Europe are reported to
be unusually low"
The cotton outlook seems less
favorable. On May l, when south
ern farmers were completing their
plans for the 1888 crop, there were
12,119,000 bales of unSpun cotton in
the United States alone, according
to an estimate just completed by
the department. This compares
with a supply of S,584,O00 bales a
year ago ana 6,222,000 bales on May
/, 1880.
The departments revised esti-
mate puts the 1882 world cotton
crop at 27,5OO,OO0 bales, the second
largest on record. Outside Of AM
erica there was crop reduction of
1,464,000 bales, but this was more
than offset by a 3,164,O00 bale in
crease in the United States. The
American increase, which was the
result of most unusual weather,
came despite a 10 per cent acreage
reduction.
The export movement of domes-
tic cotton during April was about
SO per cent above that of April,
1881, and was better than any other
April expectation since 1927, but on
the other hand, domestic consurnp-
ton for the month decreased 121,- :
900 bales, or about 25 per cent, be-
low the March figures and $4,000
bales, or % per cent, below the
consumption in April 1881.

Deputy Bruised;
Prisoner Jailed

George Evans, deputy sheriff, has
a large and bothersome welt on his
arm today, and Nicolas Nava, 81,
is in the county Jail on a charge
Of assault with a deadly weapon,
all because Evans tried to arrest

night on a charge of being drunk.
The officer saw Nava on the
streets of Westmorland, apparently
very much under the influence of
liquor, and attempted to arrest him.
NaYa. objecting to arrest, produced
a length Of gas pipe and struck at
Evans head. The officer threw up
his arm, catching the blow on tie
forearm. Nava was arrested, hand
cuffed, and taken to the county
jail.
Today Evans appeared at the dis
trict attorneys office to sign a
complaint against Naya, charging
him with assault with a deadly
