MONTGOMERY PREPARED.
County and State Police Are Ready for
-s Possible Eviction.


Montgomery County police, whose
carefully laid plans for handling the
hunger marchers were not needed when
the marchers chose route to the Capt.
tai through West Virginia and Virginia

slant vigil to be prepared for any pos
siole eviction Of the n1archers' into
Maryland.
Police Chief ALIVE A. Monkey and the
officers Of his department have ordered
a watch kept on the hunger army en-
camped here, and the entire depart
ment is prepared to swing into action

are routed from the Capital Maryland

of State troopers and rush the caravan
through to the Pennsylvania State line,
as they did the bonus army last July.
Tear Gas Is Issued.
The Maryland troopers who were de-
tailed to handle the hunger nlarchers
at Cumberland disbanded and returned
to their stations when the army crossed
into West Virginia yesterday, but
sufficient number could be modified
from Baltimore, Laurel and Waldorf to
assist the Montgomery County force if
the army is driven into that community,
it was said today.
Tear gas equipment has been issued
to the Montgomery officers for use If
any disorder occurs, while National
Guard companies at Kensington and
Silver Spring, volunteer firemen of
Rockville and Bethesda and the six
American Legion posts of the county
stand ready to assist the police If any

BANK AND HOME
OWNERS RELIEF
BILLS ADVANCE
Many Obstacles Lie Ahead
of President HooVer'S
Pet Projects.
BY LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Staf Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Bills to
aid depositors in closed banks and
owners of mortgaged homes today
are on the road to enactment, but
with many obstacles ahead. Major
opposition to fundamental purposes
of the bills has not developed yet,
but a multitude of technical objec-
tions has been raised against each.
Both are pet projects of President
Hoover.
The depositors' relief corporation
would have a revolving fund of
$3.50, 100000, of which $50,000,000
would come from the surplus ac-
cumulated by federal reserve banks
and $1OO,0o0,O0O from the treasury.
The corporation would be author
ized to borrow or issue bonds for
four times that revolving fund,
making an aggregate of $750,OOO, 900
with which to operate.
The treasury would be authorized
to subscribe a maximum $3.50, ,000,0 900
to the capital stock of the proposed
federal home loan bank system, al
though private subscribers would be
given first opportunity to subscribe
the full amounts. There would be
twelve banks in this system, none
of less than $5,OOo,OOO capital.
Undersecretary of Treasury Mills
believes the depositors' relief COR
poration would expedite payment of
about 30 per cent of deposits now
held in closed banks. The percent
age would vary with individual
banks.

DEATH PENALTY
URGED TO CURB
HAWAII CRIMES
Governor viii Recommend
Drastic Law Against
Attackers of Women.
BY DAN CAMPBELL
United Press STAFF Correspondent


q HONOLULU, T. H., Jan. 15.-The
death penalty for assaults on wom-
en- was planned as curb on ter
rorism here today as the grand jury
prepared to consider the case OF
four Americans held in the killing
of an Hawaiian accused of attack
ing the wife of a naval officer.
John Gilliland, city and county
attorney, said the jury might not
consider the case today as sched-
uled, but that he was prepared to
ask indictments charging first de-
gree murder.
The accused are Mrs. Grace Hub
bard Fortescue; her son-in-law,
Lieutenant Thomas H. Massie, whose
wife was attacked; E. J. Lord and
A. o. Jones, enlisted men stationed
at Pearl Harbor.
- Guard Against Violence
Governor Lawrence Judd revealed
that he will recommend to the spe-
cial session of the territorial legis-
lature here Monday that the crimi-
nal statutes be revised to provide
the death penalty for assaults on
women. The governor made public
his report to Secretary of Interior
Wilbur.
Penalties already are provided for
assault in Hawaii, but two identified
as assailants Of Mrs Massie had
been paroled after conviction on a
similar charge. They we're paroled
by Judd, one so he might enter a
p boxing tournament.
Naval authorities consulted civil
officials on measures to prevent any
possible trouble when the four
Americans are arraigned Saturday.
They have been kept aboard the
u. S. S. Alton at Pearl Harbor. The
three navy men waived their rights
under a "gentlemen's agreement"
existing here for a trial by court
martial.
Early Trial Expected
Attorney Gilliland will furnish the
grand jury a complete report of the
investigation headed by Chief of
Detectives John N. Mcintosh into
the kidnapping and Staying of Joe
Kahahawai, the murdered Ha-
waiian.
He was one of five men freed on
bail after a jury disagreed at their
trial on charges of attacking Mrs.
Massie. The jury deliberated
ninety seven hours. A second trial
was scheduled for this month.
The trial of the Americans de-
pended on whether the grand jury
returned indictments against them,
as Gilliland can not proceed unless
true bills are returned. It was eX-
pected the trial would begin within
three or four weeks if indictments
are returned.

Strike Of Farmers
 Is Growing Serious
 And Battle Coming
Thus Far the Farmers Have Succeeded in Their Block
 ade, But No Armed Guards Are Being Sent In

Sioux City, Ia, Aug 16-(UP)-- New violence broke out here today when 100 unemployed men deputiz- cd .a as blockade runpers tried to rush the city's morning milk sup ply through the barrier of farmer pickets.
 Farmers met the trucks with showers of stones and sticks. Wind shields were smashed. Headlights were shattered. Commands to milk trucks to return to farms were en- forced by strikers armed with long sticks to which gleaming knives were attachedI
 The guards were deputized by aheriff John A. Davenport. They were rushed out to dairy farms where huge trucks were waiting to carry the city's milk supply here.
 AS the trucks started to run past enraged picketers, 1t was found each of the nine truck roads lead ing to the city was guarded by striking farmers.
 Traffic was virtually at stand still for several hours as the pick cts halted even tourist cars to ask ff they were carrying any farm pro- duce. Trucks were turned back. Two men from Hull, Ia.. who ran q taOckade were forced to stop at Leeds for repairs for their ma chine. They were cut and bruised.
 Flat refusals were given Daven- port when he toured county roads aahing pickets to disband. Daven- port returned at once to his office, derutized 50 men. U. $. Employ meast Director T. L. Taggart enlist d another 50.

 The man was white, but dark and sinister. Over six feet and thin. He wore a long, black cloak flowing from his shoulders. A black shovel hat sat on bushy, iron grey hair. Small pointed ears clung close to the sides of his head. The faint suggestion of mous- tache pointed from his upper lip: From his chin, grew a small beard, 8 double strand, Chinese-like. His hands, resting on the window edge, were long, white and the fingers tapering. Bushy brows shaded the most intense eyes that had ever famed into those of woman!
 Madeline noted all these details in the few seconds she struggled from the spell that seemed to have come. over her. But she couldn't seem to move. She wondered what Neil was doing; why he hadn't spoken or done something. She tried to turn to him, but found she could not. She attempted to call out. but speech would not come. She could only stare, and stare at the two balls of fire that seemed to be boring into her body as though to search out her very soul.
 As for Neil--he was gazing, help less and mortified, out into the night; out, on past the sinister stranger; looking over his head to the hillside where five silent figures were shuffling down the moonlit path toward the carriage.
 There was something about the figures that held him as though in spell. Five grewsome objects that looked human, but plodded along like beasts :. like automa- tons with eyes like the eyes of dead men staring unseeing not only expression less, but seemingly incapable of expression

 At the same instant, the serpent like fingers of the mysterious stranger reached inside and took hold of the silken scarf that Made line had flung around her neck.
