convention Of the IL.G.WU., Schie-
singer outlined plans for a new fake
strike which was to be called soon.
The notorious Mayor Moore Of Phil
adelphia was permitted to greet the
convention, which passed an anti
Soviet resolution and demanded the
release Of jailed counter-revolution-
aries.
Additional taxation of the mem.
bership and the abolition of the res.
ferendum were but two of the meas
sures put over by the SchlesingeF
gang at that convention.
Put Over Wage Cuts
Wage cuts in Montreal and Cleve-
land and the establishment Of piece
work in Chicago we're among the re-
cent acts of his administration.
The statement of the Industrial
Union points out that although
Schlesinger was one of the outstand-
ing fighters of the class struggle
policy of rank and file control and
supporter of the most corrupt ele-
ments in the union, his death will
not necessarily mean an end of the
machine which controls the organi-
cation.
Call For Struggle
The Industrial Union calls on the
cloakrnakers to organize their forces
to mobilize for a real strike for I'm
ion coalitions, to demand a rank and
file strike leadership so as to make
sure that in this coming strike the
workers will gain real improvements
in their conditions and make an end
to the miserable wage cuts, mass I'M
employment, misery and starvation
of the cloakmakers.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13. - The
greatest of Olympaid celebrations
drew to a close today with United
States in possession of the track
and field title, a problematical vic
tor in rowing and an almost GER
tain loser In swimming.
The United States had hoped to
sweep all three of those groups, the
ones it priced most highly, but 1t
faced a battle with Great Britain
for rowing honors and 1t seemed
to have no chance to defeat japan
in swimming.
Main interest centered on the
Olympic marine course where $4,000
people were expected to watch the
fight for eight-oar crew and other
championships.
United States went into the day
with Is points to its credit and it
was favored, through the rowers
of the University of California, to
take the eight-oar event.
Great Britain, represented by OK
ford, was chief competitor in this

CUBAN REFUGEES
REACH FLORIDA
in DIRE STRAITS
COnspiratOrs In Recent
Political Upheaval Go
To Sea In Small Boat.

MIAMI, Fla, Aug. 13. U.H-Elev-
en- Cuban political refugees were
taken to county Jail here today by
U. S. customs inspectors after the
fugitives halted their 50-foot sin
gle-masted auxiliary schooner off
an island to asked fishermen for
fresh water.
The Cubans said they had plenty
of food but had been without water
18 hours. Their craft was leaking
and they had been forced to bail
water since leaving Cuba Monday.
Spokesman for the group said
they escaped from Cuba after the
machine gun Staying of Miguel CAL
vo, chief of secret police and two
aides, and the mob killing of Gar
cia Sierra several weeks ago.
They had boarded the boat at
Caibarien after telling police they
were going fishing. Blown off their
course by rains and storms, they
landed on Salt Key in the Bahamas
before finally setting out for Miami
where they decided to appeal to
police.
They said friends here were
awaiting them.
The group was led by Pedro Di-
az, former first lieutenant in the
Cuban army, and DR.. Cirilo Verez
Mato. Others were Cesar Soils Ar
man, Err Esto Min, Ramon Menen-
dez, Narcis LoSado, Gregorio Regia,
Francisco Carey, Anadres Rey, Ra-
fael Mendez and Rafale Soler.
Members of the group told of a
recent mutiny aboard two Cuban
warsllips in line with a plot to kid
nap President Gerardo Machado.
The plot was frustrated by an of
ficer who remained loyal to Mach
ado. The loyal officer later was
killed but the plot failed and a
number of conspirators were exc
cuted, Diaz reported.

Woman Aerialist
Killed By Fall

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. 13
One woman aerialist died today
and another was seriously injured
when they we're hurtled 200 feet
to the ground as 5000 persons
watched their act.
Irene Berger, 81, of Minneapolis.
Mimi, died of internal injuries,
Mrs. RoXie LaRose, 81, of Des
Moines, Ia, was said to be near
death, both legs broken, one lung
punctured and her back injured.
Orville LaRose, her husband
also was sent hurting toward the
ground but seized some ropes which
broke his fall. He was not criti-
cally injured.
When Miss Berger started to slide
down rope she lost her hold. In
falling, she struck the guide rope
holding the trapeze equipment in
place. The trapeze toppled to the
ground, carrying the other two per-
formers with it.

CITY TAX
RATE CUT
7 0 S 1853
Reduction OF 10 Cents
Per $100 Valuation Or
dered By Council.
BUDGET SUBMITTED
All Departments To OPP
crate At Minimum Cost
For Coming Year.

Slashing to the quick with a cut
that will see city departments op-
Grating on a bare margin of safety,
the Ell Centre city council last night
voted to reduce the city tax rate
to $163 on each $100 valuation from
the SITS rate of last year.
Taken with the recent reduction
by the city assessor, who is also
city clerk, of 10 per cent in real
estate and improvement valuations,
this reduced tax rate will mean q
saving to Ell Centre taxpayers of
more than Is cents on each 500
valuation.
The city budget as submitted
LAST night, totaling 4.100.60, pro-
vides only for operating expenses
of various city departments. This
does not include revenue from the
chamber of commerce tax of 10
cents on 500 valuation, but does
include bond interest and redemp-
ton. Added revenue will be gained
from the chamber of commerce tax,
since that organization this year
will turn back to the park fund 80
cents of each 81 collected.
The budget provides that all city
departments be operated at the
lowest possible cost without i'm
pairing service. OF these depart
ments the city water department is
perhaps most, profitable, since IL
showed a surplus earning last year
of $34, ,27507
Budget and tax rate were adopted
last night following sessions of the
council as a board of equalization.
Monday will see the last equaliza-
ton meeting. John C. Neale, city
clerk, said that few property owners
have appeared before the board,
and that even fewer complaints
have been registered. Little change
has been made in tax valuations.
State Aid Asked
Meeting as a council last night,
the city trustees took up several
matters besides the tax rate.
A letter from Phil Knights, city
engineer, to Frank c. Jordan, sec
retary of state, asking state aid for
transient unemployed here was
read
No action was taken when Cap
tain King appeared on behalf of the
Salvation Army to submit list of
supplies needed during the coming
three months for the support OF
INDECENT families. King estimated
that 30 families will require $40 a
month for the three-month period.

MAY HARNESS sun
TO OBTAIN POWER
SAYS SCIENTIST

SAGINAW, Mich, Aug. 13. U.P)
How to use the power of the sun
for earthly needs, when the supply
of coal and other such necessities is
exhausted, is the quest of science
today, according to DR.. Charles E..
st. John, famed astronomer.
DR.. st. John said he is organiz-
ing scientists from all over the
world to coordinate their efforts
in observation of the sun and ter
restrial phenomena. He said there
was a connection between what
happens on the sun and events on
the earth, and that science must
find that connection.
The astronomer asserted that
radio effects, magnetic storms and
the aurora borealis were being
studied in an effort to find out
what happens on the earth and
sun at the same moment
The scientist referred to those
vast whirlpools on the suns sur
face, which, he said, may be as
much as $4,000 miles across. These
whirlpools may have some part in
the vast solar system, he said.
He pointed out that the sun is
now known as gaseous body,
though of tremendous density at
the center, while discussing the &C
cepted theory of matter.

PETROLEUM MEN
CLOSE HEARING
ON RATE RAISE

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Aug. 13
Oil representatives today conclud-
ed their testimony in opposition to
proposed higher freight rates on
petroleum products in western
states.
Three proposals were offered in
opposition to the railroads plea for
a 20 per cent freight increase, be-
fore the interstate commerce hear
ing, conducted by Claude r. Porter
and Irving L. Koch, commission
members: They were:
l. Adoption of the Montana scale,
somewhat lower than the existing
schedule. Under the Montana rate
refined petroleum schedules from
Bakersfield, Calf, to southern Ida
no, would be reduced IL cents per
100.
Q. Adoption of rates favored by
Commissioner Porter at original
hearings several years ago. This
schedule is closely akin to the Mon
tana scale with slight variations.
3. Establishment of a maximum
rate fixed on the basis of tariff
from eastern points to Cheyenne,
Wyo., plus 20 per cent.
Commissioners Porter and Koch
were scheduled to leave for ST.
Louis tonight.

W. E. 7. u. WILL
SEEK RETENTION
OF PROHIBITION

SEATTLE, Aug. 13. (UH-W With
the speech of their leader, Mrs.
Ella Alexander Boole, as rousing
keynote, delegates to the fifty
eighth national convention of the
Womans Christian Temperance
Union today opened their sessions,
determined to set up effective ma
chinery for the retention of pro-
hibition.
Mrs. Boole, speaking with all the
fervor that once motivated many
of the delegates in their fight
against saloons, last night defended
prohibition as having outlawed the
liquor traffic.
I'VE believe that prohibition is
still the best method of dealing
with liquor" she declared. "Viola-
tions of the law, and not the law
caused conditions which have
stirred complaint. These condi-
tions will not be changed by any
law that makes it easier to obtain
any kind of liquor" she asserted.
Politically, the delegates ap-
peared decided to concentrate their
efforts on the election Of dry con-
gressional candidates, and enforce
ment OF state dry laws.
Preliminary meetings of the
union were marked by return OF
the crusade spirit" which once
sent many of the now elderly
women delegates to pray in saloons
for the redemption Of those patron
izing the bars.
Apparently no mention was TO
be made of the presidential prefer
ence of the union. President
Hoover's acceptance speech, outlin-
ing his stand for state control of
liquor traffic, and Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt's candidacy on the
Democratic repeal plank were
equally unsatisfactory to the con-
vention.

Kansas Ready For

(U.H E. r. Beebe, formerly a resi-
dent of Kansas when that state had
its periodic visits of beetles, grass
hoppers and other insects, isn't at
all concerned about the army worm
menace in Medford and Roseburg
areas. Sprays, trenches and other
methods all proved ineffective In
the early stages of the battle
against the hordes OF army worms.
But Beebe has a formula which
he asserts will rid the country Of
the pests, post haste. One-half
pound of Paris green, mixed with
one-half gallon of corn syrup, di-
luted with half pail of water and
added to 20 pounds of bran forms
poison which, If eaten heartily, will

NEW YORK BOY
MAKES GOOD AS
TEXAS BANKER

SAN ANGELO, Tex, Aug. 13
W.P)-Now comes the city boy who
made good' in the county-a wan
and pale New York youth, who has
become the oldest bank president
in point of service, in west Texas
When the First National bank
here celebrated its fiftieth anniver-
sary this summer, it marked "a
years that George E. Webb had
served as its president.
In 1882, Webb moved from &c
Pine street, New York City, to the
banks of Dove creek, Tom Green
county, Texas. Ill-health forced
the young business man to leave
his native city, where he hao
worked eight years for a CONNER
cial establishment.
Webb took things easy for q
time. He obtained work in a store
where, in his leisure moments, he
learned the lore of the cowboy and
the love of the ranch. Finally he
began irrigation farming and sheep
raising himself.
Soon he had regained his health
but not to go back to New York
In 1886 he obtained his first post
in a bank. Within a year he be-
came cashier of the First Nationa
bank, and within 10 years its presi-
dent.
Webb, with his ready smile, his
kindly face and his dignified
Van Dyke, has become part ano
parcel of San Angelo, one of It's
foremost citizens, the New Yorker
who made good in the west"

Ready To Begin Powerful
Attack On Depression
In All Lines.

Acceptance Speech Draws
Flood OF COngratula-
ton From Well-Wishers
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. - The
powerful attack" against the de-
preston on all fronts which Pres
ident Hoover forecast in his ac-
ceptance speech is about to begin.
A call for a general conference of
nationwide business and industrial
committees is being prepared at the
White House. The date Is to be
announced shortly.
The purpose Is to unity the re-
construction program. Federal re-
sources and private initiative are
to be co-ordinated.
President Hoover has made 1t
plain that the exigencies of the
presidential campaign and the heat
ed argument over prohibition will
not sidetrack his one big objective
to stimulate business.
He has declared his personal
view that the 18th amendment
should be changed so that, with
the saloon forbidden, states shall
resume control Of the liquor prob
lem. Drys, who expected him to
go no further than to recommend
submission of the question, are
slow to comment
A record breaking flood of con-
gratulatory kilograms at the White
House has cheered Mr. Hoover. His
advisors sense in this avalanche of
approval what they believe is turn
in the tide, with more sympathe-
tic hearing assured for the Presi-
dent from now on.
In his acceptance speech presi-
dent Hoover announced he was or
ganizing private industrial and fin
ancial resources of the country to
cooperate effectively with the vast
governmental instrumentalities now
in motion 80 that through their
united and co-ordinated efforts we
may move from defense to power
ful attack upon the depression
along the whole national 'front.'"
Meyer Assisting Hoover
Governor Eugene Meyer of the
federal reserve board has been at
work on this.
This program was forecast two
weeks ago at the White House. It
contemplates:
/. Stimulation of engineering
| works through the Reconstruction
Finance Corporations $500 900 900
fund for self-liquidat;ng public
works.
2. Rebuilding of slum districts in
to modern housing groups.
3. Expansion of livestock loans.
4. Assistance, financial or other
wise, in developing advance pur-
chases of raw material such as cot
| ton.
5. General expansion of industrial
credits for production in lines
| where consumption is assured.
6. Expansion of railroad MAIN
tenance ard repair work.
7. Expansion of home building
under the new home loan bank
| system.
8. Spreading out of work through
voluntary reduction of hours.
8. Miscellaneous cooperation be-
tween government agencies and spe-
cial industries.

ECHO OF COAST
MILK WAR in NEW
ASSOCIATION

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 13. W.P)-
Echoes of the Los Angeles milk
war" reached the state capitol to-
day, when Secretary of State Frank
c. Jordan granted incorporation pa
pers to the Independent Milk Pro-
ducers association over the protest
of Earl Maharg, manager OF the
California Milk Producers associa-
ton.
Maharg declared that the new
organization, a cooperative, was de-
signed to block a sign-up of milk
producers in an effort to stop the
disastrous price war.
I'm a telegram to Jordan, he
said:
1.-The milk war is in full swing,
but stabilization plans sponsored by
the farm bureau and Giannini
foundation whereby 98 per cent of
the industry becomes united are
unquestionably successful except for
the actions of this organization, the
directorate of which contains two
heavy stock holders of the Golden
State, the manager of the Seaboard
Dairy Credit corporation, and q
COW dealer.
"I request that you contact the
California Farm Bureau law anc
utilities departments, the Giannin
foundation, and the state marke
director"
Jordan explained that he was
compelled to grant the corporation
papers because the application was
entirely legal and the papers were
presented in proper form.

Office Building
Cooled By Steam

DETROIT, Aug. 13. W.P)-A sys-
tenn for cooling business offices by
steam has been tried here and
proven successful, according to the
Detroit Edison company.
A building here is one of the
first in the United States to try the
system, officials of the company
said.
The method of cooling is to pass
steam under pressure through q
nozzle at high velocity, where it
acts as pump to remove the air
and vapor from a tank of water.
This produces vacuum and causes
rapid evaporation of some of the
water in the tank, cooling the re-
manning water to as degrees.
The cold water from the tank is
pumped through cooling coils and
the air is cooled as it is blown over
the water by a ventilating fan.
The apparatus is compact and
can be installed in space nine
feet long, two feet wide, and six
feet high.
