Aboard Roosevelt Special. En- route to Omaha and Sioux City,
 Sept 29 - GU, P.) - Franklin | R6osevelt's drive for the support of republican farmers and work men led bysinsurgents that Senator George H. Moses once called "Sons of Wild Jackasses" drew toward a
 climax at Sioux City to-day. The democratic presidential can didate, who has just completed a most unusual series of political conferences with leaders of another political party, planned to deliver
 a second major address tonight on the problems of the American farmer and the solutions offered by
 the democratic party.
 Roosevelt talked yesterday with Senator George w. Norris, a re- publican grown old in public serv-
 ice, generally a crNic of the ad. President Hoover, and bitter enemy of what has been called
 "the power trust" Norris had an- nounced he would campaign for Roosevelt as he did for Alfred B.
 Smith in 1928.
 The two men praised one an- other. Norris told a crowd of twice as many people as lived in McCook that what this country needs is another Roosevelt in the White
 Houes-and here he is."
 Roosevelt officially welcomed by Charles w. Bryan, governor of the state and brother of "the com
 moner' praised Norris as Ca bet ter republican than President Hoover" as @ fine, gentle knight of
 American progressive ideals, and
 as a warrior fin an unselfish fight
 for the little fellow who has been
 forgotten by his government"

 him into the northwest, stamping
 ground of Senator c. c. Dill and
 Burton K. Wheeler; through Cali

 into the southwest where Senator
 Bronson Cutting encouraged him;
 into Nebraska where democrats
 may win but Senator Norris goes on forever, and to Iowa where Smith Brookhart is the idol of thousands of discontented farm
 CTS:
 In each section of the country
 Roosevelt frankly appealed for re- publican support. And in his brief talk at McCook he repeated that | appeal.
 II have stressed the fact that my quarrel is not with the millions of splendid men and women who in
 the past have called themselves re- | publicans, but that my battle is | against certain forces now in con- trol of the leadership of the re- | publican party who have forgot
 ten the principles on which that | party was founded and have be-
 come representative of a selfish | few who put personal interest above national good" Roosevelt said. He indicated that the forces he | was fighting were the forces Norris
 had fought for years to demand with increasing respect and sym pathy the admiration of every pa- i triotic citizen in the east as well as
 the west"
 ITO those who would say that Senator Norris is no respector of parties, I would add something
 more important" he said. "'The forces of evil are far less
 respecters of parties, Selfish bus mess which seeks through a tariff selfish monopoly on a given pro- duct in order to obtain a vast pro-
 fit at the expense of the people is
 no respecter of parties.

BRITISH CHINESE MINISTER
 MAY GET FRENCH POST

London, (UP)-Rumors persist that Sir Miles Lampson, British minister to China, will be promoted to the embassy f Paris in success cession to Lord Tyrrell, but con- firmation is not obtainable from the foreign offks.
 Sir Miles now on leave in Bri- tain, is expected to return to his Ranking post at the end of the year. The reason given for his rather lengthy leave was that he had not been able to enjoy any home leave for five and half years. He has had an arduous time during the recent periods of warfare and famine and was es- pecially active in bringing about the Sino-Japanese truce in Shanghai.
 Lord Tyrrell is expected to re- tire about the end of the year. His replacement will be the sub ject of much speculation and much care will be exercised in finding his successor, Sir Miles Is known to be in line for an Am bassadorship.

 Where is Dr Charles Brancati? ? He came to America from Italy as a barber, worked his way through medical college in New York, turned to business and made a million dollars in some way that is not at all clear and then van ished as though the earth had swallowed him, leaving his present even a deeper mlstery than his past.
 It was on Nov 19, 1928, that Dr Brancati left the stately old Gou- verneur Morris mansion in New York's Bronx, for which he had refused an offer of $400,000 only a short time before. He said he was going downtown to his office. That was the last even seen of him.
 The authorities incline to the be- lief that Dr Brancati engineered his own disappearance flor per- sonal reasons" His brothers now say they are convinced that he was Kidnapped and murdered.
 Each theory seems to fit the known facts equally well. The subsequent linking of Dr Brancatis name with various sinister activi- ties mighA easily explain why he should choose to disappear; could just as well explain motive for a murder. Various rumors have linked his name with a huge coun- terfeiting ring, with the Arnold Rothstein murder (which occurred just 16 days before Brancati's dis appearance) and with the smugg- Nl n scale.
 Though the millionaire physi- elan vanisher on Nov 19, Dr Bran cati's brothers did not report his disappearance to the police un- til the following April.
 And in the meantime these strange things were happening:
 From Passaic, N. J., Albany, Boston, Ottawa and London came a series of letters, telegrams and cablegrams, all signed with pr Brancati's name and ostensibly written by him. The letters were typewritten, but the signature look ed very much like that of the miSsing physician.
 The first communication-at tele- gram-came from Passaic the day after his disappearance. Address ed to Ercole Brancati. one of the brothers, it read: FAM HUNTING WITH FRIENDS STOP IF ANY BODY CALLS FOR ME WILL BE BACK IN ABOUT WEEK STOP WILL WRITE LATER. .. CHARLES"
 Ten days later came a telegram from Albany, saying he was there on business. Then a letter post marked at Boston, which assured his brothers that he was "doing well' and would return soon. There were more of such letters and tele- grams, followed by cablegram from London which announced that Brancati had arrived there. Then came a letter from London, post marked Dec 26, which said he would be. there several weeks.
 That was the last that the brothers ever heard, so far as is known.
 Now the triangular question arises: Did Dr Brancati disappear voluntarily and write these letters and telegrams himself? Or was he kidnapped and forcer to write

 Los Angeles-The University of California. baby of the Pacific Coast conferences and roundly thumped by most opponents in past years, appears about to make it's greatest bid for fame in. the season now at hand.
 U. c. L. A., as the university is popularly known largely because University of California at Los Angeles is a very cumbersome mouthful to fit into college yells, is coached by William Spaulding, veteran coach, who came west from the University of Minnesota.
 Spaulding has developed many stars during seven years at U. C.. l.. A., but he never enjoyed enough material at one and the same time to carry through a season at full strength. Cripling of stars found the reserves unable to step into the breach.
 Full Quota.
 For the 1892 campaign Spauld- ing appears to have a full quota of outstanding performers and enough reserves to give him three deep" jprotection in most vital
 
 Greatest loss to the Bruins of Westwood. was the graduation of Len Wellendorf and Dick Null haupt, ends. Last year they were ranked as the greatest wing com bination in Pacific Coast play. An other star who finished was Norm Duncan, fullback and captain.
 Duncan's position will be filled by Joe Keeble, star ha1fback, or by Pants" Livesay, a sophomore, who was star fullback on the freshman team last year.
 Center to Run Team.
 Captain Homer Oliver, senior, considered by many as possible choice for au-conference honors, will run the team from center position.
 Oliver will be fianked by veter- ans at the guard and tackle posi- tions and the Bruin line will grow problematical only when the wings are reached. If Spaulding can produce two wingmen from his hat his team should play ball with any of the opponents scheduled.

Washington, Sept 29.-UP)- The long suffering farmer is being showered with solicitude to-day.
 Governor Roosevelt is in the farm belt to deliver a speech to- night at Sioux City, Iowa.
 President Hoover has set in mo- ton a series of administrative &C., tivities to ease the farmers strain as he prepares the address he is to deliver at Des Moines Tuesday, his first out of town appearance in the campaign.
 In Chicago, at Mir Hoover's sug- gestion, group of financiers and Reconstruction Finance corpora ton officials are meeting to-day seeking to break the tide of farm foreclosures by some broad re- fiancing arrangement which may be backed by the corporation. Heads of banking and industry committees from IA states were asked to confer.
 By the presidents direction, the government yesterday announced a moratorium of 75 per cent on feed and seed loans made to farmers by the department of agriculture. Col lection of 25 per cent of such loans is insisted upon. The remainder will depend on congress-and con- gress is expected either to wipe out the loan or to spread it out over a long term.

CENTRAL UNION ON SHORT END
OF 7-6 SCORE WITH YUMA TEAM

Eleven Yuma high school players
who dispensed with huddles, re-
verted now and then to silent sig
nails and interspersed their play
with numerous successful fakes last
night entered their bid for fame
on the shoulders of an old time
power drive which carried them
to a 7 to 6 victory over Ell Gen.
tro high school, the like of which
may not be seen on an Ell Centre
field again this year.
Yuma's swapping, driving char
ges from position without the now
proverbial huddle, had the Ell Cen
tro players in quandary, for they
were up against the system which
went out when all were still in
grammar school.
In spite of the Yuma charges
which kept the ball in Ell Centres
territory during most of the game,
the local team might have won eX-
cept for numerous fumbles which
time and again cost them precious
yardage. The matter of penalties
was more than evened up, for here
Yuma lost heavily.

sible for Ell Centros only touch

JUNIOR COLLEGE
LOSES OPENER TO
BRAWLEY ELEVEN

Central Arabs took a beating
last night to the tune of 60 in
the first encounter of the season
at Brawley, when the Brawley J.C.
proved to be slightly superior to
the local eleven.
Fast playing, long punts, and
several good passes were not quite
enough to bag a victory for the
Arabs.
Brawley opened the game by
kicking off to Ted Ehmke of Cen
trail. From the kickoff, the first
quarter was one determined drive
on Brawley's part for the 60 lead.
Good playing by Ritter and Fox
failed to give the Arabs score.
In the second quarter, Central
started off with every indication
of at least tying the score. j.
Ehmke and Tackett made good
tackles, and Hartigan, Baker, and
Price divided the ball-carrying
honors. Price made a long run
which was followed with another
long run by Baker just four min
utes before the end of the first
half. The roofing squad was hill
arious, for a touchdown was in
clear view, but the ball went to
Brawley and the half ended with
the ball in Brawley's possession on
Centrals Is yard line.
The third quarter was another
display of the Arabs stiff fight to
hold the Brawleyites to a one
touchdown score. Fox made some
good plays, and Price broke
through for several of his famous
runs. Price, who made his repu-
tation by his spectacular broken
field runs, is hampered by the new
rules that make the ball dead if
the carrier is ever down.
Good hard playing in the last
quarter saved the Arabs from
greater defeat.
Had the boys played the same
calibre of ball in the first two
quarters as they did in the last,
much different score would no
doubt have resulted.
Fox, Price. and Ehmke were the
names most frequently heard over
the public address system. Fox
punted remarkably well. Baker,
Ritter, and Hartigan also played
good ball.
This opening game showed the
grandstand that the Arabs have a
good team, and showed the team
its weak places to be polished be-
fore the next encounter.
