trucks.

SPECIAL SESSION URGED.
Farm Bureau Federation Sends Plea
To Governors.

~ 0SN~AASA@.
CHICAGO, September 9 CP)-The
American Farm Bureau Federation to-
day asked the Governors conference on
farm prices at Sioux City, Iowa, to con-
slider requesting the call of a special ses-
sion of Congress to raise prices of farm
products and to delay foreclosures Of
farm property.
The telegraphic appeal Of the fedora
tion's directors, signed by President Ed
ward A. O'Neal, went to Gov. Dan
Turner Of Iowa and Gov. Warren e.
Green of South Dakota at Sioux City,
where they were to confer on the prob
lens raised by the farmers holiday"
during which grain, live stock and prod
uce has been withheld from the market
In an atempt to force higher prices.
I'VE urge upon you Governors careful
consideration of the advisahility of re-
questing the aesIf of special session of
Congress to- deal Immediately with an
all-important question with the one
thought In mind Of raising farm price
levels to a profitable basis" the tele-
gram read, and pending such improve
ment to seek constructive legislation
having for its purpose the delay of fore
closures upon farm property until such
time as the farmers income can be re-
stored to basis that will enable him 70
make payment upon farm debts"
Reduction of the gold value of the dol
lar, O'Eeal said, was necessary to enable
debtors to meet their obligations in "a
measure Of dollars approximating the
value of the dollar the time the debts
were incurred"

THREATS ARE SENT
OTHER DRY CHIEFS
Canon Chase Among Leaders
Whose Lives Have Been
Endangered.

The disappearance of Col. Raymond
Robins, prominent dry leader, led to the
revelation here today that not only Ccl
Robins but Canon William Sheafe
Chase of New York and other nationally
known prohibition leaders have re-
ceived threats against their lives.
Canon Chase, in Washington in con-
necticn with meeting of the National
Prohibition Board of Strategy, said he
has received threats, both by mail and
over the telephone, over an extended
period and that to his knowledge other
prohibition leaders have been threat
ened similarly.
Relieved Work of Cranks.
Most Of the threats clearly are
the work of cranks and some of the
threats made over the telephone wcre
obviously made by intoxicated persons. 4"
Canon Chase said. Il have not felt it
necessary to take any of them seriously
and, SO far as I know, there never
has been any attempt made to follow
up any of the threats physically"
Canon Chase expressed a belief that
people who wrote threatening letters of
the character he and his associates have
received seldom follow them up, mere
ly resorting to the writing as a means of
blowing off steam"
Several of the letters he has received,
Canon Chase said, were written in the
same hand and mailed in Brooklyn
The writer threatened that Chase would
be done away with" unless he ceased
his activities in behalf of prohibition
The letters also said that Mrs. Ella
Boole, of the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union, would be killed unless
she ceased her work for prohihition
Canon Chase expressed the belief,
however, that there may have been
more substance behind the threats re-
Ceived by Col Robins. because of his
activities against bootleggers and liquor
smugglers in Florida.
Exposed to Dangerous Element.
Col. Robins was more active in law en-
forcement work than many of our other
prohibition leaders" Canon Chase said,
"and it is possible that they would go
to far greater lengths to get him out
of the way than would be the case
with others who have been threatened"
Rev. Edwin c. Dinwiddie secretary
of the National Temperance Bureau,
Who, like Canon Chase, is a close per-
sonal friend of Col. Robins, expressed
the belief that the missing man may
have suffered an attack of amnesia and
wandered away
Dinwiddie said that DR. Robins never
had mentioned to him the receipt of
threatening letters or of threats in any
form.

He did not appear on Tuesday or

I found out that he had checked out of

day afternoon and that they didn't
know where he was except that his for
warding address was the Dodge Hotel
in Washington.
IT feared that he might have been
taken sick or affected by the heat.
Since that time we have been able to

where he is"

Robins usually stops at the Dodge
Hotel when he comes to Washington.
His last visit there was on August &.
The hotel manager said it was not Gus
tomary for Robins to make reservations
in advance and for that reason did not
know If he was in Washington last
Tuesday when he had an appointment
at the White House.
Robins is we'll known in Washington
as an active participant in various So

than decade ago he was a member OF
the advanced group of sociologists who
labored for humanitarian concessions to
labor He took part in the campaign
for equal franchise He was interested
in child labor problems. He frequently
appeared before House and Senate COM

Republican Heads
 Against Relief
(Continued from Page 1.)

Representative Strong, republican, Kansas, jointly explained it, as not
 an emergency measure, but Drimar-
 fly notice to the world that the
 United States would remain on the
 gold standard.
 Tess, in the senate yesterday
 was the first speaker to oppose fed eral relief of any kind. Republi-
 cans hitherto have sat back while
 democrats squabbled over the type of relief to be offered, hoping this
 dissension would defeat whatever bill emerged.
 But finally Fess, chairman of his party's national committee and former president of Antioch col lege, undertook to speak for the administration. Prone ordinarily to lecture the senate in the ap-
 proved schoolmaster manner, he
 had planned on this occasion to prod no sore spots and hurt no feelings.
 Despite good intentions his train ing got the better of him and he
 drew from sociology textbook a description of the dole" as in adeouate, demoralizing and paup- erizing." He suggested that per- sons who became paupers would not willingly resume self-support.
 Then Borah leaped angrily to his feet.
 "I denounce that as a libel on American citizens," he thundered. l "A government which does not
 protect its people Is flying a flag which Is . dirty rag. I am con yinced there Is widespread and ter
 rible suffering"
 Fess objected and Borah shouted at him across the desks until the

Best Remedy for Cough Is Easily
 Mixed at Home

You'll never know how quickly a stubborn cough due to a cold can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, because it gives more prompt, positive relief than anything else. It's no trou- ble at all to mix and costs but trife. : Into a pint bottle, pour 212 ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated . sugar syrup or strained honey to make . full pint. This saves two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough . medicine, and gives you purer, better remedy. It never spells, and tastes good--children like it.
 You can actually feel it's penetrat- ing, soothing action on the unframed throat membranes. It is also absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. At the same time, it promptly loosens the germ laden phlegm. This three-fold action explains why 1t brings such quick re- lief even in those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics.
 Pinex is q highly concentrated com pound of Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in refined, palatable form. and known as one of the greatest medicinal agents for severe coughs and bronchial irritations. Do sot accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

(Continued from Page 1.)

At the general committee meet ing the date for the spring state convention will be set, caucus dates will be named and other business will be transacted aside from the election of officers. That a vacancy will be caused in the office of sec retary of the central committee was practically assured to-day. La bor Commissioner Joseph Tone Is understood to be ready to resign from the central committe. For his place the most prominent names being mentioned are those of Re- presentative Francis Hogan of Tor rington and Senator Joseph F. Cooney of Hartford.
 Mrs Welch who is vice-chairman of the state committee, is also ex- pected to resign but she has not yet made up her mind. It is said she would like to remain vice. chairman until the national con- vention in June when she will aspire for the post on the national committee now held by Mrs Lil- lian $. Abbott of Norwalk. Mrs Ward Duffy of West Hartford and Mrs Josepha Whitney of New Ha- ven are being mentioned for the post of vice chairman in the event that Mrs Welch does retire.
 Local democrats are undecided on what action they will take at the state central committee. Water bury has not been consulted in the picking of a new state chairman, secretary or vice president. There fore, Chairman Crary said to-day, the local members of the central committee will go to the session next month with open minds. The local members are Chairman Crary, Senator Joseph H. I.awlOr and Town Clerk Dora A. Egan. There is a vacancy in the Waterbury membership and Mrs Gertrude Guilfoile Corden is expected to be named a member of the committee from the 1Gth district.
 The main question to be discus- sed at the meeting of the central committee aside from officers is just what action the state will take on endorsing any or the president tial candidates. It is known that the "new guard" favors Roosevelt while the "old guard" is out for Smith.
 It is believed the central com mittee meeting will be held in Hartford. The committee will set the place and date for the state con vention scheduled for May at whic h delegates to the national conven- tion will be elected.

 What Pact Did

Rome, February II - (UP) - The Lateran pacts settled the Ro- man question, created the state of Vatican City, and freed the Pope as "the prisoner of the Vatican" and commemoration of the signing is celebrated throughout Italy as a public holiday.
 The Popes held sovereignty over the so-called papal states of mid- Italy for centuries Then the area of some 10000 square miles was incorporated in the kingdom of Italy and the sovereignty of the Pope was confined to the palaces of the Vatican and the Latern and the Villa of Castel Gondolfo in 1871.
 The treaty of conciliation,, the concordat, and the financial con- vention were signed at the Latern palace three years ago today by Premier Mussolini and Papal Sec retary of state Cardinal Gasparri.
 Today's holiday was created in 1880 to take the place of the festi- val of September 20 which record ed the entry of Italian troops into papal Rome and the downfall of the Vatican's temporal power.
 The Italian tricolor and the Papal flag were flown together to- day at many Italian homes.
 While Monsignor Pelizzo was conducting Mussolini into St Pet CTS, the prelate recalled that it was the premier's third visit to the cathedral, the first having been for the marriage of his daughter, Edda, and the second for the mar riage of Count Costanzo Giano's daughter. Mussolini replied in Latin:
 "Omne Trinum Est Perfectum." meaning, whatever makes three is perfect"
 Although neither the Pope nor Mussolini divulged the nature of their conversation. there was un- usual pleasure in Vatican circles over the length of the visit, as it is unusual for the pope to find a visitor interesting enough to talk with for more than an hour. The usual audience is limited to 20 minutes.
 It was felt, therefore, that they had talked of world problems es- pecially the economic situation and the disarmament movement.
