EDWIN COULD PASSES AWAY,
 HEART ATTACK
Death Comes Suddenly to Capitalist at His Oyster
 Bay Home in N. Y.

OYSTER BAY, N. r., July 13.-- Edwin Gould, aged 67 years, son of the late Jay Gould, pioneer rail- road magnate, died suddenly at his country home here as the result of heart attack.
 Early in life Edwin Gould gave evidence of having inherited the financial genius which enabled his father, the late Jay Gould, to build up one of the largest American fortunes of his time. .tkt
 He was so eager to get started in business he asked his fathers permission to quit Columbia Uni versity a year before the gradua- ton of his class, that of 1888. The father refused to grant the request, but Edwin left anyway, and three days later appeared in Wall Street as stock broker-operator.
 Makes Money Fast
 At the end of six months his op- erations were said to have shown a profit of $1,0OO 900. This success brought him favorable recognition from his father and won for him a place in the elder Gould's office. Tn 1888 Edwin was made secretary of the St. Louis, Arkansas & Tex as Railway, one of the lines con- Continued on Page Two)

PIT I M AN HAS NEW PROPOSAL
 TO AID SILVER
American Senator Is Still Fighting for Rehabilita-
 ton of White Metal

LONDON, July i3.-United States Senator Key Pittman has renewed his campaign before the World Economic Conference for rehabili- tation of silver through an in- ternational agreement by intro ducing a substitute proposal for his original resolution.
 The new measure specifices no proportion of silver which may be used for central bank currency coverage thus differing from the original suggestion which called for optional use of one-fifth in cur rency to cover the white metal.
 The gold features are not af- fected by the substitute which has been submitted to a sub-commmit- tee on silver. This committee ad- journed, however, without taking any action on the important fea- lures of the new plan designed to prevent dumping of silver on the world markets in debasement of silver coinage.

 Mail Robbery Loot

RECOVERY MOVE IS CON S|DERED
 IN NEW ANGLE
Blanket Order May Be ls- sued to All Indus
 tries in U. 5. CODE HEARINGS TO
 BEGIN NEXT WEEK Roosevelt Is Also Negotiat- ing for New Trade
 Relations

WASHINGTON, July 13. = To hasten fertilization of employment and purchasing power, the Admin istration has under consideration direction to all industry to pay a minimum wage and restrict work ing hours until the Roosevelt recov- cry program takes fuller effect.
 There has been no decision about the blanket order, Administrator Johnson said, but proposals for a general wage and hour limit for industry are still at half-baked stage.
 Meanwhile the President has undertaken other means of helping American business, this time by opening negotiations with half a dozen South American governments for new trade relations.
 Seasonal Tariffs
 Seasonal tariffs are among the points up for discussion between the State Department and South American representatives and are now in progress.
 Whether the President will seek any general modification of tariffs through reciprocal agreements is yet problematical, possibly awaiting 8 general declaration first by the World Economic Conference.
 Hearings on Codes
 By the middle of next week there will start an amending suc- cession of hearings on codes, rais- ing wages and limiting hours of industries, both big and little.
 Administrator John on realizes that speed is necessary if the country's workers are to have the desired big increase in purchasing power before winter.
 For this reason the Administrator has decided to open the throttle on hearings of codes immediately If codes contain unacceptable terms these troubles will be speedily threshed out and something suit able will be reached.
 Lumber, shipbuilding and cleo trical manufacture codes are now in, and the steel code is expected The textile code has already been adopted and is set to work. Coal building contractors and many others are nearly ready with their codes.

DRYS TRY TO BAR
VOTE IN MISSOURI
Petitions Signed by Nearly
10000 Not Expected to
Block Election.
BY GEORGE X. WALLACE.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 15.-With
the date now fixed for August 10 when
Missouri will hold its wide vote
on repeal of the eighteenth amendment.
the drys have started concerted effort
to prevent the showdown.
The United Dry Council, representing
all organizations for upholding prohibi-
ton, have obtained close to 10000 sigma
lures to petitions in an effort to forestall
vote through a referendum of the
law enacted by the Legislature setting
up the machinery through which the
State may give expression. 1t IS the
contention of the drys that through the
filing of the petitions the act will be
automatically suspended. This is de-
spite a ruling by the States attorney
general that the act Is not subject to
referendum
The opinion Of many is that the
effort to prevent the wet and dry con-
test in Missouri will fail.
Recent days have reflected an i'm
proved outlook in business circles and in
the agricultural belt. While Missouri's
grain crops, corn and wheat, will be
materially under those of past years
recent rains have brought a much
brighter forecast.
The sudden rise in the price of po-
tatoes. a crop which fourishes in the
central section along the Missouri
River, promises million-doll harvest,
which will be of tremendous aid to
hundreds of farmers
Increased bank deposits in Kansas
City likewise have attracted attention.
