Letter From One OF Our

Mrs. Clara West received a letter
recently from her son Earl, who is
in Montevideo, Uruguay, S. A., tell
ing of an atmospheric condition.
The air is filled with a very fine
dust that covers everything expos
ed, resembling fine snow, but as
they are just entering their fall sea-
son the weather is too warm and
balmy for snow. 1t was a mass of
ashes from the volcano in Chilli, 600
miles away and continued incessant
for two days, and intermitently.
When new ashes are not arriving
the winds blow those already there
and keeps the air filled with them.
The ashes are so light, they seem to
float in the air indefinitely. Though
the ashes are non-poisonOus and
claimed to be harmless the people
complain of headaches and sour dis
positions. Nothing seems to clear
the air but a general rain.
In April at one time there were
eleven volcanoes in action; some
were considered dead, but became
active.

derer from some tropical sea was
sought today after it had perished
in a death duel with giant mar
lin swordfish.
The big fish, stabbed in a dozen
places by the thrusts of the sword
fish, was hauled to shore by a
sailor from the U. S. S. Cincin-

feet in length and weighing $50
pounds. its body was colored a

ROOSEVELT MUM ON COURSE
To De FOLLOWED TUESDAY

at least, perplex his own admins
tration.
He goes, however, armed with a
mass of information gathered by
various economists and tonight, at
his home in New York City, he
will complete his study of the Sit
uation, closeted with Professor
Raymond Moley of Columbia, his
economic adviser.
Beyond referring to the debt
plank in the Democratic platform
against cancellation to which he
subscribed, Mr.. Roosevelt has given
no indication of the stand he will
take when he meets with the
President.
Friends, however, are of the opin-
ion he will adhere strictly to the
last paragraph of his acceptance
message to the Hoover invitation.
that the debts problem presents a
responsibility belonging to the Re-
publican administration until
March 4.
The governors friends have reit-
Grated frequently that Mr.. Roose-
velt possesses no federal authority
and consequently, look for him to
act as an observer only, obtaining
a comprehensive outline of a sit
uation that may confront him as
president.
Whether he was for an extension
of the moratorium on debt pay
ments or revision were questions
that have gone unanswered.
Keeping to the seclusion of his
little study at "Krum Elbow" his
country home here, Mr.. Roosevelt
studied for hours during the week
end the information compiled for
him by Moley. The room was lit
cred with papers that were scat
tered over his desk and on the
floor when newspapermen were
ushered in.

Have Place If Won Papen's
Policies Followed.

dent Won Hindenburg gave Adolf
Hitler, Nazi leader, six hours today
in which to obtain a reichstag
majority which would support a
cabinet headed by a member of
Hitlers party, presumably Hitler
himself.
The president and the Nazi
leader conferred for the second
time during the current negotia-
tions to form new government.
Police reserves were called out to
clear way for Hitler's automobile
to pass over the 200 yard route
from the Kaiserhof hotel to the
presidential palace. Thousands of
Nazis jammed the streets, shout
ing Hail Hitler!" and singing the
Nazi battle song.
Won Hindenburg is seeking a
successor to Chancellor Franz Won
Papen, who resigned last week
because he lacked support for a
coalition regime. 1t was under
stood that if Hitler became chan
cellor, it would be on condition
that he follow Won Papen's policies
and leave ultimate selection of the
new cabinet to Won Hindenburg.
Politicians noted that a careful
ly worded official communique
made it plain that the president
had not yet commissioned Hitler
to form a cabinet, but had mere
ly requested an outline of Hitler's
chances of obtaining parlia-
mentary majority.
The communique said.
After Herr Hitler told the
president decisively that his party
would be able to cooperate only in
cabinet led by him personally,
President Won Hindenburg asked
Herr Hitler to inform him by 5
r. m. whether and under what
conditions such a cabinet with a
uniform program may expect a
majority in the reichstag Herr
Hitler promised the president a
written answer this afternoon"

CHICAGO BOY
ADMITS CRIME

CHICAGO, Nov. 81. U.P)-Ber.
tram Arnold, 16-year-old model
student whose teachers consider
ed him exceedingly bright, dill
gent and obedient, returned to
Chicago wearing handouts today
to face charges of numbering his
grandmother" and throwing her
body into an abandoned cistern.
Cook county authorities who
went to Mount Carroll, ILL.,, after
Arnold and left there today en-
route back to Riverside, a Chicago
suburb, said the youth confessed
killing MIS-. Ellen SAKE, so. his
fathers mother-in-law. He always
had called Mrs. SAKE grandma.
The motive for the Staying last
Friday night at the Arnold home
in Riverside remained somewhat
of a mystery. Officers who ques-
toned him said even the youth
appeared puzzled as to why he had
beaten Mrs. SAKE to death with a
hammer, then tied a rope around
her body and dragged it to the cis-
tern.
The only explanation he could
give, authorities said, was that he
argued with Mrs. SAKE about us
ing her automobile to attend
dance and killed her after she
slapped his face because he was
"impudent.'

ROBINS DENIES
. HIS IDENTITY
Friend OF Hoover Still Refuses
To Recognize Wife Or Recall
Incidents.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., Nov. 81. (U.P)
-Alienists examined COL Raymond
Robins in a sanitarium today to
discover what, if any, ailment the
noted prohibition leader and friend
of President Hoover has been suf-
fering from since he disappeared
in September.
Colonel Robins still maintained
according to officials at the Appla-
chain hospital, that his name is
Reynolds Rogers" the pseudonym
under which for six weeks he
roamed the North Carolina noun
tains, prospected for minerals
mingled with Cherokee Indians
and made friends with the ma
tiveS.
The colonel, who disappeared
when he was on his way to g
White House meeting with Pres.
ident Hoover, still insisted on re-
tanning his identity as Rogers
and refused to recognize his wife
and other relatives.
Physicians who have attended
him declined to make public
diagnosis of his case, although
they admit that amnesia, from
which he may be suffering, very
frequently has phases in which
only partial obliteration of the
memory faculties is noted. A par
tial amnesia would explain the
fact that Colonel Robins took part
in the politics of the little town oi
Whittier, N. c., where he wa:
found, and that he made numer.
Gus speeches for Mr.. Hoover ane
the Republican ticket.
It is one of the trick of fate thai
Colonel Robins, a stalwart defend
el of temperance, is being treated
at an institution which has hith-
erto specialized in alcoholic cases.
The physicians at appalachian
Hail., where he was received yes
terday, have refused all access tC
him and say he requires "com-
plete rest" and a chance to recover
from the strain caused by the ex-
citement of the past few days.
Enjoyed Peace
Robins has said to his attend
ants that this is the first time in
10 years he has enjoyed peace.
This statement alone leads his
friends to believe the task OF
bringing him back to the worlo
he knew will be difficult. In his
present state he is clinging to the
place he knows and the recent
recollections that are so pleasant
to him.
Mrs. Robins has spoken to him
twice since his discovery in Whit
tier through the alert mentality
of a 12-year-old boy, Carl BYRD
Fisher, who noted the resemblance
ot the stranger in town" to the
missing international figure. On
both occasions Mrs. Robins has
spoken to her husband of events
familiar to both of them, but she
has received a negative response.
Every effort is being made, both
by Robins physicians and his fam
lily, to keep the patient away from
excitement or from the ordeal of
newspaper interviews.

States Capitol
To Remain, Dry

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 81. U.R-
The famous old 'Well," picturesque
drinking room in the basement of
California's state capitol building,
will not be reopened, no matter if
congress legalizes light wines and
beer, capital authorities said today.
The well" was dried up by an
act of the legislature many years
before the Wright act was passed,
and despite the fact that lobbyists
with a bottle ION the hip" have
had to have recourse to cloak
rooms, no open drinking will be
permitted.
In the palmy days, the hungry
legislators might go down to the
well" for a hamburger sandwich
or maybe a few pretzels, according
to William Wicks, veteran custo-
dian at the capitol building. Those
days have apparently gone forever,
and the nearest restaurant or cigar
store is three blocks away. No
food, tobacco, or soft drinks of
any kind are sold in the capitol
