MYSTERY HIDES
|NSU[L MOVES

PARIS, Oct. s 1.N.SJ.-Mys-
terry surrounding the whereabouts
of Samuel insult deepened today
with the revelation that neither
French nor American authorities
were attempting to trace the
movements of the one-time Chi
cago utilities magnate, indicted
on charges of larceny and EN-
bezzlenent in connection with the
gigantic organization he once
ruled.
John MacVeagh, secretary at
the United States Embassy. said
he knew nothing of insults
Whereabouts,a nd that no request
to institute extradition proceed
ingS had been received.
With the passing hours, two
theories as to insults whereaboUt IS
gained favor. One was that he
had left the country, either to
return to the United States to
face court action. or to seek sane
tuary in some country where ex-
tradition proceedings would have
little chance of success. The
other was that he may be hiding
in his hotel room.

McALESTER, Okla, Oct. 6
G.N.SO-A tense situation pre-
vailed here today following arrest
and imprisonment of 100 striking
miners for alleged violation of a
District Court injunction forbid
ding picketing of open shop mines
and intimidation of nonunion
miners.
Reports we're that between 500
and 1000 strikers will be mobil-
lied to resume picketing at the
mines when the nonunion miners
leave the workings today.
Fears we're expressed that vio-
lence against nonunion workers
may result from the arrests.
Several open shop miners have
had their homes bombed in the
past few weeks.
There are approximately 1000
striking miners in the local area.
Authorities said the arrests would
continue until the picketing is
stopped.

KID GLOVES
NOW LAID
ASIDE
President Returns to D. C.
Satisfied With Tour;
May Go to Coast

Highly satisfied with his first
campaign trip into his native
State of Iowa, President Hoover
returned to the White House
today.
The trip was so successful that
Mr.. Hoover undoubtedly will de-
eide to make other sallies into the
Midwest during the remainder of
October.
Other points in the battle
ground territory of the midwest
that have been mentioned include
indianapolis, st. Louis or Kansas
City, Detroit and Minneapolis.
The President is expected to make
at least two more major sallies
out of Washington before election
day.
Coast Trip Considered
1t is even possible he may
finally decide to undertake last
minute, whirlwind tour that will
carry him to the West Coast.
Furthermore, Mr.. Hoover is now
disposed to a blood.and-Steel type
of campaign, rather than the
milk.and-water variety he had
waged up to the start of the DeS
MoineS trip.
His action in wading into Gov,
Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Speaker John N. Garner brought
him Salvoes of applause and
many congratulatory kilograms.
From now until November 8, he
intends to make of himself a
fighting President"
At Des MoineS the executive
denied the truth of statements
Governor Roosevelt has been max:
ing about farm relief and tariff
and challenged the whole of
Garner's leadership of the Demo
cratic majority in the House.
FalsehOOds, He Says
Yesterday, at Fort Wayne, Ind,
he branded as deliberate, intoler-
able falsehoods" the widespread
personal Misrepresentation which
have been promulgated in the
Middle West in the past few
weeks" about him.
Mr.. Hoover admitted to his
cheering audience that these were
harsh words" he was saying, but
he has told friends since that he
uttered them not for vote-getting
effect but because he felt there
was such a thing as sportsman
ship even in politics. His coat is
off and his sleeves are rolled up
from now on if personalities are
to be INDUCED in.
Like all Presidents, Mr.. Hoover
is surrounded by the useful quota
of "yes-men" who bring him in
glowing political reports from all
sections of the country.
Told He Must Fight
In the past 10 days. however,
his more outSpoken friends who
have been touring the country
have warned him he must go
down the home stretch in. high
gear if the Republican ticket is to
win in November.
These latter reports, plus the
cordial reception he received
throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, are be-
lieved to have finally persuaded a
decision to get out and campaign
in the old-faShioned manner.

Police Association Members
Threaten to Resign in
Protest at Action

Revolt among members of

ham D. Glassford, superin-
tendent of police, today threat
ened the morale Of the entire
force.
Officials of the Policemen's
Association. an organization made
up of approximately 1900 men,

besieged with demands from their
membership to call a special
meeting to protest against Glass
ford's attempt to denote Inspec.
tor Frank S. w. Burke and re-

Protests are also being directed
at Glassford's action in trans

crime prevention bureau to the
second inspection district and his
reported attempt to reduce Davis
to the rank of captain.
Would Ask Resignation

ton.
Officials of the organization
are attempting to halt the tide
of protest, but one of the higher
officials said he did not know at
what moment there might be a
general overthrow of leadership
in the organization, as its entire
membership increased its de"
mands for definite action by the
association.
The same official said men
were protesting against service in
a department which called upon
them to make untold sacrifices
to attain high rank that could
be set aside at the whim Of a
man with only slight experience
in police work.
Want Public Protest
The association is divided &C.
cording to the inspection districts
in which it's members serve on
duty and, according to officials.
entire districts are threatening to
resign from the association unless
public protest is made against the
superintendent of police.
A petition is said to be in the
process of circulation among the
members of the association de-
manding that a special meeting
be held for the adoption of a
resolution which would call upon
the District Commissioners to
force Glassford from office.
The bylaws of the association
permit the calling Of a special
meeting at the request of a suf-

Do Just These Two Simple Thin9s-Fat Melts Away

butter, sweets and desserts, bread. Eat any fruit for dessert.
 That's all you do. Fat seems to melt away. The coarse lines of overweight give way to the refined ones of slenderness. You lose as much as 0 pound day. You feel better than in years. For in this treatment you achieve two i'm. portant results. The lad Salts clear your system of toxins. sThe diet takes off fat with food that turns into energy instead of weight.
 If you're tired of being embar. rassed by fat, try this way. You'll be glad that you did. You can get lad Salts at any drug store.
 Mote particularly--Jad Salts is urged purely as a poison ba nishing agent-not as Q reducing. The change in food does the work.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-03-16

Recent, important discoveries make 1t easy for the average fat person to take off fat--a pound a day, four to seven pounds a week and regain energy with never 0 hungry momont.
 Here's what you do: Take a tea spoonful ordinary lad Salts in 0 glass of water a half-hour before breakfast every morning. This re- duces moisture weight instantly. Also cleanses the system of the waste matter and excess toxins that most fat people have, and banishes puffiness and bloat.
 Then do this about eating. FILL YOUR STOMACH--eat your ill., of lean meats, vegetables like spin ach, caulihower. cabbage, tomatoes, etc, and lots of salads. Eat a lot. Eat all you can hold. Don't go hungry a minute! Cut down on
