How "Silencer" Works

The National Rifle association says that the Maxim silencer works on the same principle Us an auto muffler. The tube is screwed on the muzze of the gun. This tube consists of series of baiiles thai causes the gases to issue lowly instead of with a sudden rush. It is this rush of powder gas from the muzzle of the gun which creates q vacuum, causing the report when discharged.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Those
folks who learn about the govern
ment from books will have to read
another book.
Washington Swindle Sheet" by
William P. Helm, takes up the
science of government where the
school books leave off and tells
how a congressman actually works,
not how he describes that alleged
process to his constituents.
This Washington correspondent
tells how the government spends S18
day to furnish fancy bottled min
eral water to senators. 1t pays for
replating their nickeled bottle
openers. The government buys
them snuff, which nobody uses, and
sandboxes for the senators desks
just because there was no such
thing as blotting paper a hundred
years ago.
1t supports a private restaurant
in which 88 walters and helpers are
carried on the government pay
roll, almost one for each senator.

which senators only are admitted

A third outbreak followed, but
was subdued when the inmates

Finance Corporation is determined
not to become grab bag" from

merely for the asking.
Any state may receive up to
$45, 100000 from the relief fund. But
the corporation intends to withhold
funds until it is convinced the ap-
plicant is doing all in its power
to meet its owr needs.
I'VE have $30O0o0,000 to distrib-
ute," Chairman Pomerene explain
ed, land if we made this a grab
bag with every state and three ter
ritories getting its Is per cent when
it wanted, it would take more than

full duty.

NEVADA COUNTY
ASSESSOR WILL
COLLECT TAXES

LAS VEGAS, New, Aug. %. {U.Pt-
The tax controversy between the
federal government and the state
and county governments reached an
important stage today when F. c.
Devinney, county assessor, moved
to collect taxes on all personal
property within the so-called
Boulder City reservation from which
he was not already restrained by
federal court order
The court order in force was is
sued in connection with the suit OF
the Six Companies, Inc, builders OF
Hoover dam, to stop the state from
collecting a levy on Six Companies
property.
Devinney was backed in his
move by the state and county gov
ernments. He held that the court
order did not affect holdings OF
the Boulder City company, Ander-
son Brothers supply, the Southern
Sierras Power company and other
private concerns doing business In
the area.
Devinney said that the property
at which new levies we're directed
by the assessor was estimated At

FIVE OF HITLER'S
MEN CONDEMNED
TO LOSE LIVES
NaZis Make Threats Of
Vengeance If Sentence
Carried Out.
BY FREDERICK KUH
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Aug. 23.- struggle
against the government" to free
five Fascist storm troopers, SEN
fenced to be beheaded, was prom
ised today by Adolf Hitler, Ma
tional Socialist party leader.
A short time after he addressed
a personal petition to the govern
ment of Chancellor Franz Won
Papen, asking that the death SEN
tences be commuted, Hitler sent a
pithy message to the five con-
demned men. The action was
viewed as an open defiance of the
Won Papen regime, and of the gov
ernments right to set up arbitrary
courts to handle cases involving po-
litical terrorism.
Hitlers message read:
my Comrades: In view of the
monstrous and CORY sentence that
has been passed upon you, feel I
am linked to you in unbounded
loyalty. Your freedom is a ques-
tion of our honor and struggle
against the government under
which this has come to pass is our
duty"
Hitler's sudden action followed a
period of frenzied activity in which
Nazi storm troopers fairly screamed
their indignation at the penalty.
Mobs of Hitler followers fought
with steel-helmeted police in the
streets of Beuthen, where the five
were sentenced.
Hitler left no doubt that if his
five followers are executed all
chance of his resuming negotiations
with Van Papen will be ended.
At Beuthen today the atmos-
phere was noticeably less tense
Extra guards were placed at the
prison holding the five condemned
men.
1t was understood the death SEN
tences will not be carried out until
defense attorneys have reached a
decision or appeal for new trial

HIGH FINANCIAL
LEADERS GATHER
FOR CONFERENCE

NEW YORK, Aug. %. UP)-What
high financial circles term "the
most important private information
al finance conference" of the year
is being held in Bar Harbor, Me-,
this week between Gov. Montagu
Norman of the Bank of England
and number OF important finan-
ciers.
Every effort is being made to
guard the names of the conferees,
but it is regarded as significant
that Gov. George L. Harrison of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York is reported out of the city.
During the last half of the week
Norman is expected to arrive N
New York. Whether there will be
any publicity admitted conference
with Eugene Meyer, governor of
the federal reserve board, is not
now known.
The British program in reference
to it's December debt payment to
the United States is regarded as one
of the topics uppermost in the
minds of the head Of the great
British Governmental Bank and
the American international finan-
cierS.
Great Britain, particularly in its
dominions, is severely hit by the
fall of commodity prices and Brit
ish return to the gold standard cam
not be accomplished until a defin-
ite change for the better Is secured.

THREE KILLED in
AUTO ACCIDENT
ON RIDGE ROUTE

NEWHALL, Calf, Aug. 20. (U.P)'-
Three persons, a prominent Los
Angeles middle-aged couple and
their male companion, were killed
early today when their automobile
went over an embankment on the
Ridge route and plunged 300 feet
to a canyon bed.
The victims were tentatively
identified as Samuel Raibinowitch,
prominent contractor; his book
keeper, Ben Budnitsky, about 30,
and Mrs. Kate Budnitsky mother
of the latter, all of Los Angeles.
Raibinowitch and his party were
returning from his ranch 5 miles
south of Fresno, where they had
spent the weekend.
A garageman of Castaic, who was
trailing the automobile down the
circuitous grade, told deputy sher-
ifs the Raibinowitchs apparently
were travelling too rapidly to ne
gotiate the sharp turn.
The garageman ran down to the
wreckage, and finding two victims
still alive, hastened to summon an
ambulance. All three were dead,
however, when medical air arrived.
The Raibinowitches have son,
Joseph Raibinowitch, film writer
and novelist, living in Los Angeles.

Seek Action On
Union Station
For Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Aug. %. (U.P)-
In an effort to speed construction
of the $10,0O0,0OO union terminal
station here, the state railroad COM
mission today ordered the three
carriers concerned to appear Sept
ember 2 to show cause why the
commission should not immediate
ly apportion cost Of the project.
The commission will sit en- banc
on that date with the Southern
Pacific company, the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe Railway COM
pany and the Los Angeles and Salt
Lake Railroad company directed to
appear before it
The lines are ordered to show
cause why the commission should
not set aside its order of January
18, 1882, approving certain plans for
the new union station, which had
been filed jointly by the Southern
Pacific and l.. A. & S. L. road, now
controlled by the Union Pacific.
The commission further ordered
that the carriers should show cause
why it should not further consider
plans filed by the interested parties,
and why the commission should not
proceed with the taking of testi-
mony and apportion among the car
riers the cost of the project.
In an order issued July 8, 1927,
the three roads were directed to
proceed with construction of a un-
ion passenger station in the area
near the old plaza. 1t was pro-
vided that construction should be-
gin within 80 days after the effect
i've date of the order and should
be completed within three years of
that time.
Inasmuch as the three carriers
have failed to agree among them
selves on the division of cost with
in a reasonable period, the commits
sion declared it would determine
the apportionment unless the roads
could show sufficient cause.
The supreme court of the United
States has upheld the commits
sion's order for the union station.

CLOSE CALL FOR
DOOLITTLE WHEN
GEAR IS JAMMED
Noted Flyer Has Diff
cult Hour In Air Be-
fore Landing.

WICHITA, Kans., Aug. %. U.H
Maj. James H. Doolittle, famous
air ace, landed his plane safely at
the airport here at 12:45 p. m. to-
day after a thrilling hour in which
he faced possible death or injury.
With his retractable landing gear
jammed in the fuselage of his tiny
biplane, Doolittle circled above the
airport for many minutes, strug-
Cling to restore the wheels to nor
NAL position.
AT last, his gas nearly exhausted,
he succeeded in restoring the right
wheel to normal place, and in
bringing the other wheel down
about halfway from the fuselage.
Then he cut his motor to it's
slowest speed and attempted a
landing.
The plane rocked back and forth
as the uneven landing gear struck
the runway and seemed about to
overturn. Finally, losing speed, it
nosed into the earth, breaking the
propeller.
Unharmed except for minor
bruises, the famous pilot, holder
of the transcontinental flight rec
ord, stepped from his partially
wrecked ship and smiled at the
crowd which rushed toward him.
His first concern then was for
his ship, biplane. and he examined
it carefully. Then, assured that
only replacement of the propeller
and minor repairs would be nee
essary, he walked to a hangar.
