MERCHANTS OF GAINESVILLE
 ARE IN DREAD
Striking Miners Grow
 Ugly and Store Keepers Are Afraid Their Stores
 Will Be LOOted

Clarksville, Ark, July 26-(U. P.) Merchants appealed to Governor Harvey Parnell for protection to- day after a group of unemployed miners footed a bakery wagon and demanded the baker supply their families with bread. A company of Arkansas National guardsmen. mo- bilized yesterday after a mine pit boss was beaten because he refused to remove non-union miners and substitute .nion miners in the mines, stood by" to-day. The min- CTS clustered in groups in the streets. A few blocks away stood the guardsmen, ready for instant duty. Merchants said they feared their stores mig.it be footed.
 Union miners from Montana. Ark arrived to reinforce local union men in their demand that non- union me nbe discharged. They toured the fields near here warn- ing non-union miners to quit work.
 Bob Griffith, the pit boss, was beaten when he refused to allow the men. to go into a mine where non-union men were employed. Three miners were arrested.

Past State Commander M. A. O'Hara of the Veterans of Foreign Connecticut to raise $10,600 for the Wars, chairman of the drive in erection of a cottage at Eaton Rap ids, Mich, for widows and children of deceased World war veterans. has received approximately half that sum to date, it was officially learned this morning.
 Every state in the union is en- deavoring to erect 8 cottage oil this site, each to be named after that respective state. The state of Michigan appropriates $20,000 for the upkeep and maintenance of this area at Eaton Rapids and out of this sum new cottage is helped to be erected annually. The wi- dows and orphans of the deceased vets are given the cottage. They obey their own home life condi- tions, have their own poultry and truck farms and the younger chil- dren, regardless of religion or col or, are transported daily to their respective institutions of learning.
 The widows and orphans live in a community their own and are not obliged to follow prescribed uniform or strict regulations. Many Waterburians who have wis., tied this place are high in their acclaim of 1t and assert that it is the only national organization maintaining home for widows and orphans of deceased veterans.

ASSASSIN TRIAL IN FRANCE NOT
 YET FINISHED
Accused Man Is Creating All the Excitement at Present Time, as He Lectures the Court

Paris, July 26 -s (UP) - High drama marked the trial of Paul .Gorgouloff, assassin of President Doumer of France, as his lawyers made spirited attempt to prove insanity when the hearing resumed today. Speaking in a strained high pitched voice he shouted his denial of witnesses evidence show ing former connection with the Cheka, one-time of the Russian secret service.
 "The soul of Gorgouloff is not available to Communist gold" he shouted. T am the mouthpiece of one hundred and fifty million har- assed Russian peasants. have always fought Communism and Monarchy. being national dem- ocrat. That is why these monar- chist witnesses persecute me an lie about me-"
 Time and again the Russian seized opportunities to preach to the jury, and the trial assumed the air of Russian political de- bate when he reared up in the witness box and assailed testimony Lazareff, who insistead that they knew Gorgouloff as a one-time Communist. He had gone by name of Lazareff. they alleged. He con- ducted tortures at Rostow on Don in 1920, as a Cheka executioner they said. It Is expected that a verdict will be reached Wednes- day.

ment. She is convinced that he was insane when he committed his act, and she seems to have forgotetn the brutal treatement which she often experienced at his hands.
 When Gorguloff committed his crime he boisterously said he wanted to die at once and repeat edly declared that he was ready for the guillotine. He has changed greatly during his confinement. however.
 He is no longer the inexhaust- ible babbler, ranting about his martyrdom and praying incoher- ently for his dream of Russia and the repose of the soul of the dis tinguished man he killed without any logical motive. His cxalta- tion and his transports have given way to profound despond- ency.
 "oh, the fatal date" he wrote to his wife. who is in the south of France. My soul is sad al- most to the point of death. My darling; poor Annie. You have not forgotten, and l am grateful. I love you, but do you understand now?
 Destiny has been stronger then we. God gave me this po- litical idea. God gave me the mis- sion to save my Russian people. am like an apostle of this po- litical idea which is dearer to me than my life and therefore I had to struggle for this idea just to the death.''

Stock Market Held Those Gains Made
 In Trade Yesterday
Heavy Flood of Realizing Sales, But the Market Very
 Stubbornly Fought to Keep What It Had Won

petroleum shares, the majority of stocks held close to their previous closing leveles :.
 Ability of the market to hold all it's gains of the past five sessions despite heavy profit-taking excited favorable comment in speculative circles and encouraged buying operations in individual stocks throughout the list.
 Activity, except in the opening dealings, shrunk considerable from the 100000 share clip of the preceding session, indicating little important stock was overhanging the market awaiting the opportun- ity for each bluge in prices. Trad ing was orderly and the relatively slow action of he market was con- sidered favorable by bull traders who feared the consequences of a runaway market on the upside.
 A major deterrent to heavy spec ulative buying was the impending dividend meeting of the United States Steel Corporation scheduled for after the close of the market and the publication at that time of the corporations income account for the second quarter.
 Few large traders were willing to make commitments in the face of these uncertainties inasmuch as considerable of the recent enthusi- asm has ben~bu on hopes that the corporations directors will see fit to continue dividends on it's pre- ferred stock, now paid at the rate of $7 annually. The second quarter income account was expected to make poor reading for the share holders, estimates placing the loss in excess of the $19.000,000 deficit of the first quarter.
 The market was favore. with one constructive dividend action in the afternoon, Studebaker Corporation directors ordering the regular quar- terly dividend of $2 q share on the preferred stock, which lifted the isue more than points. Steel pre- ferred held fractionally under its previous close of 6S during most of the session. while the common held around its previous close of 26 IA

BY MINoTT SAUNDERS NEA Service Writer

Paris.-Paul Gorguloff, Russian assassin of President Doumer. has decided that he doesn't want to die yet while. He wants to en- dure as he expresses 1t, until af- ter the birth of his son, which he anticipates in September or Octo- Der.
 This is the mans only hope. He does not expect to escape the guillotine, although his lawyer, the famous Henri Geraud, plans to fight hard for his life in the course of the trial,
 The expected son has given Gorguloff new interest in life, and the prospect of becoming a father has softened him. He at first was anxious to die.
 Even if he is sentenced to death it is not likely that the ex- ecution will take place at once. It is the practice in France to al- low condemned man some weeks, even two or three months, before sentence is carried out.
 Tn the meantime an appeal for mercy may be made to the presi- dent of the republic. So the slayer stands a chance of getting news of his child before the end comes, which is all he asks now. He always speaks of the expected child as his son, confident that 1t will not be a girl.
 Gorguloff's Swiss wife, Anne Geng, who is 37, is standing by him and writes to him tcnderly, trying to give him encourage

tax debtors, who are presumably able to discharge their obligations promptly, to pay their taxes within two wears from the due dates of such taxes or first instalments thereof; and fixes upon collectors the definite obligation of seeing seeting that, with certain excep- tions. all taxes are collected within such two years. Except for the few cases of definite postponement of real estate taxes for not exceed ing fifteen years which taxes shall have been levied against those in unusual financial circumstances. the new legislation does away with the continuance of tax liens by cer- tificate and their recording in the land records of the town. It is worthy of note that the tax lien continuance is an anomaly and is practically unknown in the laws of the others states. It is. also, worthy of note that in confining the tax lien continuance to the un- fortunate the state has reverted to its original policy first enuciated in 1874 of permitting the continu- ance of tax liens only in the case of the needy. Prior to 1874 the policy of continuing tax liens by certificate was. unknown in Con- necticut as it still is in most. if not all. of the other states.
 "The provision in the 1881 leg islation requiring complete coilec- ton of taxes, with certain excep- tions, within a certain specined pc- riod Is not a new one in Connecti- cut. For nearly 250 years after the founding of Connecticut, her law contemplated the full collec- tion of each tax levy within one year after 1t became due. The 1881 leEislation in re-egtablishing the principle of this policy gives. with certain exceptions. two years after the due dates of taxes or first inc stalments thereof in which to com- plete collection. This period ox two years is. longer than that tn most other states. At the same
 time the interest rate for delin-.
 auent taxes in the new Connecticut law of ree-ounrter5 of one per centum for ench month and frac- ton thereof Is a lower rate of inc lerest than. in the law Of the great majority q the other stofes ID addition many statcs impose high penalty provisions which are un-

 In One Movement

New York, July 26-(UP)Z President Hoover >and Governor Franklin D. Rooeevelt joined with General John J. Pershing and other leaders to-day in endorsing the National Economy League as prominent citizens from 20 states met here to perfect a nationwide organization.
 The presidents letter was read at the meeting by Greenville Clark, chairman of the organization com mittee. It follows:
 My Dear Mir Clark:
 T am deeply interested to learn of the formation of the Nationa Economy League. There is great need for a nationwide and non. partisan organization designed to give persistent attention to keep | ing down governmental expendi. lures. The subject is too compli. cated to be dealt with by sporadic groups in temporary emergencies The pressures upon governments to spend more are ceaseless, and no intermittent protests will stem the. tide. Swarms of iobbies or ganize behind every form of ex' penditure and no organized grouI even defends members of the con- gress who withstand their pres sures.
 "Ceaseless vigilance alone car cope with them. Every branch oi government activity should be scru. tinized, and of state and city gov. ernments as well as federal. trust

 q am glad the National Econ omy League will work to create a clearer understa anding of all gov- ernment expenditures on the part of the average voter. Knowledge
 of and interest in federal and state budgets by the electorate is essen- tial, in order to sustain the execu- tive and legislative branches of gov ernment in reducing government

Dominions May Have Tariff Upon Wheat
 Before Session Ends
Canadian Wheat Men Will Fight That Tariff-United States Will Be ln- jured Some If It Passes

brought the first real disagree ment In the conference.
 The grain mems attitude has been known generally. They say that effective government regula- ton of the world grain market is impossible. the supply is too big, for one thing, and even if Britain used foreign wheat at all she could absorb only one-third the empire production.
 The United States is not affected to a serious degree. United States wheat exports to Britain were only 14.000,000 bushels, worth $8,500,- 900 in 1881. In 1890 the export was 23,0O0,O00 bushels.
 American grain men have re- alized and emphasized for years the necessity of limiting the Ameri- can wheat supply eventually to hardly more than domestic needs because of the world situation.
