TRAPPED DEER FLED FROM ITS
 LEDGE TO-DAY
Didn't Cross Bridge, But Slid Down Step Incline to Chasm and Fled Into Forest

Watkins Glen. N. Y, Sept G. CUP)-The deer which small army of men have tried vainly to rescue from natural prison OH a rocky ledge, to-day essayed it's own escape and scampered off into tho safety of the forest.
 The deer then bounded nimbly up the opposite chasm wall. When the animal was first imprisoned on the ledge. the stream below was flowing at torrential pace. The deer and its mate jumped over q plls of boulders onto the ledge to escape dogs. The mate jumped into the stream and was killed. The, stream to-day was just a trickle.
 It took several hours to-day to maneuver the deer near the bridge. It responded calmly to urg- ing. but when the guards closed in to force 1t over tho bridge 1t chose its own means of escape. It's slide down the chasm wall was perfectly executed.
 : Once 1t gained the top of the op- posite chasm wall. 1t ran up the 12a stono steps of the tourist path and disappeared into the forest.

THE VALUE OF GOOD CLEAN WATER
Explained By Dr Neuswan- ger Before Kiwanis Club
 at Noon To-day
AT THE HOTEL ELTON

Dr Christopher Neuswanger de- livered most interesting and educational address this noon ht the weekly luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis club at the Hotel Elton on Prostate Glands and Kidneys"
 Persons troubled with kidneys should refrain entirely from alcohol for in so drinking 1t may be com pared to one throwing gasoline on a fire. He advised all to leave H. quor alone as 1t never does anyone any good and is most damaging to the kidneys.
 Over in India 95 per cent of the people are troubled with stones in their bladders as n result of drink ing filthy water. Good clean water Is essential for the body and we should drink at least quart Q day, added the speaker. Exercises should be taken regularly as 1t keeps the kidneys functioning and occasionally one should submit to m examination by q physician. He advised all In taking medicine to be sure they knew what they were taking. not be content with patent medicine.
 The Chinese. he added. have low blood pressure while the people of this country complain of tho opposite. Low blood pressure was the result of very little to eat.

and GO officers. The Indianapolis complement Is 500 enlisted men.
 Marines were concentrating at Quantico all day to form the |sevcnth regiment which would be- come an expcditionary force of 1,- 10S men if intervention in Cuba were ordered. East coast navy yards contrib uted the marine quota to build up the potential expeditionary contfn- gent.
 President Roosevelt issued ab. rupt orders for all these prcpara- tons. Hut he assured Guestioners that intervention was not contem- platcd--that 1t was the fast thing In his mind.
 Revelation of the scope of Unit ed States prepartion for possible eventualities came abruptly in the foyer of the executive offices. Swan son and Standley revealed the plans as they emerged from MT Roosevelt's office where the rap idly shifting problems developing |around Cuba were discussed. Swanson said the seventh ma rines were ready"
 He said the battleship Wyoming at Newport. R. l.. and tho New Mexico at Philadelphia navy yard. could speed immediately to New port News. Va, if necessary, to tranship the marines. Official reports indicated tho Cuban situation unchanged from yesterday but the possibility of vio. lencc Is believed to be greater in this instance than when former President Machado was overthrown last month.
 The Indianapolis is one of the speed ships of the navy. She is one of the so-called treaty ships. Swanson said he was not taking any particular orders to Havana. But the Indianapolis probably will proceed under forced draft to mako the run in AS hours.
 Secretary of State Hull. at his daily press conference. aaid the United States was remaining neu- tral toward all political clements in Cuba and was interested only In seeing the normal processes of government maintained there. He added that Ambassador sumner wclles still enjoyed the confidence and good will of all Cuban factions. Welles' reports. Hull said. were that there had been no violence in Havana, hut some disorders in Santiago and ceinfuegos. Also the commandant Of the Guantanamo Bay Naval station reported tension there.
 Asked about the state depart. ment'a explanation of it's Cuban policy to other Latin Ameriean governments at conferences today. Hui said this was purely . gesttlre of courtesy to keep them advised rather than for consultation about cuba.

The next morning 1t was found that the eagle had landed in q basket of bluebcrrles, and that the crushed berries had stained 1t blue.
 They named the warrior Blue Eagle. That became the family name, and Acec Blue Eagle, pres- cnt bearer of the name, is dOubly proud of It now.

Soviet Credit Is
Hanging on Stand
For Wheat Control
R. F. c. Attitude Outlined
by Unnamed High
u. S. Official
By ARTHUR F. DEGREVE
United Press Staff Correspondent
Copyright, 1888, United Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 (UP)
Extension of credits by the Re-
construction Finance Corporation
to Russia is likely to depend at
least in part upon participation
bv the Soviet government in the
world wheat control plans, a high
administrative official indicated
last night.
The forecast came as dispatches
from London reported Russia had
rejected a compromise plan sub
mitted by John V. A. MacMurray,
American delegate to the wheat
advisory commission. MacMurray
prepared to return at once to re-
port to officials here.
Related to a somewhat lesser
extent to the wheat problem is
the question of Russian recognl-
ton.
Officials last night expressed
disappointment at Russia's failure
to agree promptly to cooperate
in regulating wheat acreage. pro-
duction, exports and imports as
called for in the agreement which
is described here as a ''real treaty
of economic peace"
The difficulty centers largely on
export quotas. Russia wants to
export 100000 bushels this
year. Other wheat producing ma
lions want to limit Soviet export
to 100000 bushels.
The agreement, as drafted and
signed by the four great wheat
states-Argentina. Canada, Aus
tralia and the United States
carries provisions for a 50,OOO,-
600 bushel export overflow. This
is designed to cover any last min
ute modification and also to take
care of changes in the Russian
output.
Should Russia refuse to partici-
pate. and undertake instead to
export wheat in excess of 100000
900 bushels, officials said revision
of the entire agreement might be
necessary, with the possibility that
some of the present indicated
benefits might be lost.
The administration official, who
declined to be quoted by name,
said two courses of action were
open in this eventuality. They
are:
1. The United States through
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration may withhold credits to
Russia.
2. Importing nations, anxious
to cooperate in a real effort to
lif THE world from the economic
morass. may combine to refuse to
purchase Russian wheat beyond a
seq quota.

of "legalized" liquor.
Mr.. Justice referred to the fact
that it is claimed that the return
of the legalized liquor traffic will
wipe out blockading and bootleg
ging. There was more blockad-
ing in Henderson county before
prohibition than now, he assert
ed. Before prohibition, the
speaker said, every government
licensed distillery was surround
ed with half a dozen or more
blockade distilleries, located at
convenient points. These block
ade distilleries frequently be-
longed to or were financed by
the licensed distiller. They made
liquor and sold it to the licensed
distiller, who marketed the prod
uct without paying the govern
ment revenue. Much easy money
was made in that way by the IL
censed distilleps.
Referring to the fact that the
country appears to be going wet,
Mr.. Justice said that he would
consider it a great honor to be
a citizen of the only prohibition
state among the AZ, if North
Carolina votes dry and the 9TH
ers all vote wet. He urged his
fellow citizens of Blue Ridge
township to vote dry on NOvem-
Der 7th and maintain the North
Carolina prohibition law.

are both just LIQUOR, Mr.: Just
ice told his hearers and the Ell
fects of both kinds are rulnous
