March Of Events
By REV. ALBERT KUHN

Last week millions Of private con-
sumers asked for and received N. R. A.
emblems to be regarded as pledges on
their part that they would not knowingly
bay goods from stores or factories who
did not live up to the letter and the spirit
Of their n. r. A. agreements. This pledge
Is a very serious business. If the consum-
ers in an overwhelming majority will
live UP to it, the N. R. A. movement will
prove a huge success; if on the other hand
the public is bent upon buying at the
cheapest place even if it knows that the
store is ignoring its code, the entire move
ment win become a huge joke and will
bring our government into disgrace. 1t
viii meet with the same experience that
the prohibition movement met with. AL
ready the impression is abroad hat many
Of our Omaha firms are continuing to
underpay their men and women workers.
Working people thus affected, in every
part of the country, should lose nc time
to find out the location of the official
complaint department and to conscient-
iously inform this department of their
findings. They should remember that
their own prosperity and that of millions
VINO are now destitute depends upon
their conscientious cooperation with the
President The cheapest thing we car do
is TO kick about the measures that the
government has decided upon and Jul
selves turn no hand to make nationwide
cooperation a reality.
The n. r. A. movement has revived
a struggle for supremacy between the
Federation of Labor on one side which
would make membership of workmen in
their union compulsory, and those huge
corporations which do not wish to have
their relations with their workmen d.
rected by a national labor organization
and thus insist upon an open shop policy.
There are good arguments for and a.
gainSt each of these policies. The unions,
when they become strong, are often as
arbitrary. unreasonable, selfish and dis
~regardful of the needs of the general pub
lie S many open shop concerns are apt to
be. AS a matter Of fact, in every large
production plant there are three part
ners, each Of which deserves c~onsidera-
ton and must give consideration to the
other two, first the owner Of the concern,
who furnishes the capital, the workmen
who do the actual producing, and the
buyers, without whose patronage both
the other partLe rs would soon be ruined.
The ideal direction of a concern is there
fore one in which all the three partners
have a voice. Such a direction is the most
simply accomplished if some government
sponsored body acts as umpire between
labor and capital and represents at the
same time the consumer - exactly the
typeof body which Mr.. Roosevelt is plan
ming to establish under the National Re-
covery Act.
The struggle between ermany and
France is at present carried on Austria
as the political battle field. Outside Of the
city Of Vienna, which is strongly social
istic and hence anti-Hittlerite and OPP
posed to union with Germany the Aus
trian population is said to be overwhem-

a position, Chief Davis said.

NO COMMENT
BY NARG0LD

Facts and figures as well as a
first hand view of the local situ-
alton were given Nathan R. Mar
gold, solicitor of the interior de-
partment, during his visit to I'm
perial Valley yesterday.
Margold said he came to see
and to listen and would say Moth
ing unless he found it necessary to
ask questions
He was met upon his arrival il
FL Centro on the morning train by
representative group of valley
residents. During breakfast, the
local situation was outlined and
valuable data explained.
A trip over the system OF the
Imperial Irrigation district included
a journey about the valley. The
group visited Calipatria. Westmor-
land, Brawley, HoltVille and Cal
exico and stops were made at lm-
portant points along the route.
The silt situation was explained
and results pointed out when en-
countered. Officials said he indi-
Gated special interest in this phase.
rs a finale. the group inspected
the district works along the Colo
lado river. Tre headgates, diver
sion works and dams were visited
and, as Margold requested, the
route of the All-American canal
was shown him.
Margold crossed the river dry
shod" on account CT the present
water shortage. The effects OF
the shortage and how the ALL
American canal would benefit, were
emphasized
District directors SAID Margoid
apparently was keen minded and
grasped the situation quickly. He
made no statement as to his i'm
preSSionS or decision.
He will return to Washington as
soon as he visits other projects ana

SAYS Staying
PREMED!TATED
Prosecutor Charges Nurse Who
Shot Grace Had Long Planned
Her Act.

SANTA CRUZ, Calf, Sept. Il.
U.Ri-Miss Frieda Wilhelmina
Weltz, 43-year-old re h air d
nurse, was accused today of plan
ming the murder of Francis Joseph
Morgan Grace, retired shipping
magnate, 18 months ago and bid
ing her time until Saturday night
when she shot him to death.
Prosecutor J. F.. Murphy related
her strange story of the Staying of
Grace on the lawn of his summer
estate here, but said she would not
reveal her motive
Her nearest approach to an eX-
planation of why she fired a shot
into Graces abdomen, Murphy
said, was her remark that "a long
series of lies and insults by
Grace, led her to the act.
The district attorney said she ac-
cused Grace Of spreading scandal
about her. She denied there has
ever been romance between
them.
Miss Weltz, former War nurse,
was employed year and a halt
ago to care for Grace, who was
subject TO periodic spells of heart
trouble.
Murphy quoted the nurse as say
ing:
Eight months ago I went to his
hotel apartment in San Francisco
with the intention of killing him
But the gun was taken away from
me and 1 was elected.
I'm glad did it. I don't care
what they do with me so long as
they get it over quickly. I don't
even want an attorney"
| Murphy said she appeared un-
disturbed when he told her he
would charge her with murder af-
ter the inquest today.
"She told me there had been
some scandal about her and Grace,
but that it was without founda-
tion," said Murphy. She said she
had a good reason for killing him,
but refused to tell what it was
Murphy said she told him she
decided to kill Grace when she left
his employment and waited her op-
portunity with patience and cum
ming.
Grace, 81, was a nephew of the
late w R. Grace, founder of the
Grace Steamship company. He re-
tired from the same firm more than
decade AGO and has been semi
invalid since.

RIVER AIDED
SLIGHTLY BY
LIGHT RAINS

Reports OF light rains III the up
per basin of the Colorado river and
slight rise in the Grand Canyon
reading the last two days, brought
hope that the drough is broken and
that proration of water BY the I'M
pelial Irrigation district may net
extend over a long period.
Proration of available water be-
gan Saturday and is in effect on
both sides of the international line.
Fall rains are anticipated and
present unsettled conditions along
the course of the river indicate they
may not be delayed for long, dis
trict officials said today.
Even a slight rise in water or
the river would be a help i'll the
present shortage.
Encouraging weather reports from
Denver were received with interest
on the part of all valley residents
TIL present proration is the first
since 1881 and the completion of
Boulder dam storage will prevent a
recurrence of water shortage during
the summer months.
The amount or ratio of water per
500 valuation will be determined
prior 10 each Today proration pc
riod and will be based upon the
estimated amount of water available
during the period, district officials
said

BELIEVE FUTURE WILL BRING
FEDERAL CONTROL Of BANKS
Policy Outlined To Bankers Association Last
Week Seen AS Ultimatum Of Govern
ment's Desire To Expand Loans.
BY RICHARD L. GRIDLEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Vir-
tual federal control of the coun-
try's $45 OOO,OOO,0OO bank resour-
ces was believed today to be pos
sible outcome of the government S
new banking policies.
The degree to which the govern
ment extends its power over the
banking system was expected to de-
pend largely upon economic ques-
tions and steps taken by individual
banks to expand loans and busi-
ness. The administration disclaimed
any intention to operate banks.
The administrators new bank
ing policy as outlined to the Amer
lean Bankers association convention
at Chicago last week was consid-
cred in banking circles as a virtual
ultimatum to banks to expand loans
to business.
Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the
board of the reconstruction Fin
ance Corporation, told the bankers
they must provide credit to ac-
commodate agriculture, commerce
and industry based upon a grow
ing country, otherwise the govern
ment will have to do So
At the same time Jones revealed
that the government was willing to
expand its interest in the banking
business by obtaining stock inter-
est in every bank in the United
States. The postal savings system
with more than billion dollars in
deposits would be abandoned.
Control would be accomplished
through purchase by the govern
ment owned Reconstruction Fin
ance Corporation Of up to a billion
dollars worth of stock in going and
reorganizing banking inSCitaions.
This would give the government a
25 per cent ownership Of the $4,-
00,OOO,00O in bank capital which
then would be outstanding. Such
large ownership vested in one
hand would be an important power
in the control of the greater part
of the country's banking resources.
Some bankers expressed disSatis-
faction with the government muse
ling in the banking business
Nearly a billion dollars already has
been advanced by the federal gov
ernment to banks.

TRIO DEAD IN
PRISON BREAK
Twelve Desperate Convicts
Shoot Way To Freedom From
Louisiana Camp.

BATON ROUGE, La, Sept. IL.
U.Pi-A posse of prison guards ana
ckunty officers today surrounded
wooded section where 10 of II
convicts who shot their way to
freedom at the Angola state pri-
son yesterday were believed to have
taken refuge.
The convicts, all desperate long
term prisoners, killed two men and
wounded three others in their SEN
sational dash for freedom. One OF
the convicts was shot to death and
another was believed separated
from the group.
The convicts burst suddenly into
the office of Sugar Camp E., a re-
finery located in the center of the
prison, brandished three rifles and
several pistols. They demanded that
A. L. Bryan, trusty, give them
the keys to the gun rack
When Bryan hesitated, they slug
ged him with the guns and took
the keys. They armed themselves
with high powered rifles and forced
Bryan to supply them with am
munition.
AS the convicts emerged from the
office, j. w. Fletcher, a visitor at
the prison, shouted the alarm, and
was Immediately shot to death. The
prisoners then made an open dash
for the nearest prison gate.
Alfred Davis, convict-guard, was
ta ba OF tn1 tn
defend gate along the wire stock
ade surrounding the prison. j. O.
Warrington, master mechanic en-
ployed at the prison, was shot
through the hand.
Eunrds gathered from other
posts and concentrated their fire
on the small group of convicts.
More than $50 shots were ex-
changed before the men shot their
way to freedom. Ed Sharp, "lifer'
was wounded by one of the bullets
fired during the skirmish.
Find Convict's Body
Captain John Singleton, camp
supervisor, was shot down when he
refused the co-/iicts demands for

the convicts fell, but were picked
up and placed in an automobile
which their comrades command
eered from a prison visitor.
The body of William Stone, one
of the convicts, later was found
about four miles from the prison,
where it had been thrown out of
the automobile.
Warden Wade Long, attempting
to notify peace officers of sur
rounding counties, found the tele-
phone wires leading from the pri-
son had been cut. He enlisted 80
guards and armed number OF
TRUSTEES to engage in the search for
the escaped men.
Blcodhounds were put on the
trail and led the posse to heavily
wooded section along the Mifsis-
sippi river. Guards surrounded the

Today On Repeal OF Prohi-
bition Amendment.
DRY MORE THAN 80 YEARS
Maryland And Colorado Vote
Tomorrow With Both Expect
ed To Favor Vets.

PORTLAND Me, Sept II. tU.P
Maine, dry since 1851, voted to-
day on ratification of the 21st tre-
pea9i amendmen0 Impartial OBJ
servers predicted 1t would be the
26th consecutive state to repudiate
national prohibition. ,'
! Today's election opened the final
phase of the drive to repeal the
18th amendment this year. If Maine
! falls into line, repealists will need
only 10 more states. Colorado, Min
nesota and Maryland vote tomor-
row. Idaho and New Mexico vote a
week from tomorrow; Virginia, Oct.
3; Florida, Oct. 10; Ohio, Penn
sylvania, North and South Caro-
lima and Utah, Nov. 7. The vets
could lose two states and still be
victorious.
Fair, autumn weather prevailed,
and this was considered by the drys
as favorable to their cause.
Repeal cannot become an actual
ity, until Dec. or g. Ohio holds its
formal ratification convention Dec.
4, Pennsylvania, Dec. 5, and North
and South Carolina, Dec. 6.
Predictions of the wet victory in
Maine ranged as high as 2l2 to /,
the most conservative being 3 to 2.
Next to Kansas, Maine had been
established as the driest of the
states. In 1851 Neal Dow, Quaker
prohibitionist, framed and engineer
ed the passage of the states pro-
hibitory law. The first formidable
rebellion was last year when Cover
nor Louis J. Brann, Democrat, and
three Democratic congressman
were elected on wringing wet plat
forms. In recent months, the state
permitted the sale of 80 beer.
Drys insisted they anticipated vic
tory today, but none would give
estimates. A few admitted the re-
suits would be close.
A light vote, which will favor the
vets, was anticipated.
The mechanics of the election
give the drys an advantage. The
candidates to the state convention
are not designated on the ballot as
wet or dry, nor are they arbitrar-
lily pledged to either side. The 80
delegates are not being selected at
large, but by counties.
BALTIMORE, Sept II. tU.Pj -
, Size of the wet majority was gen.
orally regarded as the only ques-
ton in doubt as Maryland, one of
the pioneer states in the repeal
movement, prepared to vote on the

Ward T. Van Orman and Frank
Trotter reported to the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber company today

cial forest.
The message was relayed to the
Goodyear office here by the Sud-
bury office of the Hydro-Electric
Construction company, which has a
branch office near Timagami.
The balloon which Van Orman
and Trotter took off a week ago
Saturday night was damaged in the

derstorm at Tiagami, Provincial
forest. Balloon damaged by trees.
Finally reached Hydro Electric con-
struction company today, Septem-

iracceSSibility of the country in
which the balloon came to earth.
QUEBEC, Sept. II. UP; - Two
Polish balloonists who threw away
their food supplies over a desolatc
forest region arrived today with
what they believe is a new record
of l,05O miles in the Gordon Ben
nett cup races.
They were safe after having been
lost for five days in the forest,
where they endured hunger and
hardships before reaching the town
of Riviere A Pierre. They said they
were ready to compete in the 1884
races if the Polish government Or
dered it.
The balloonists, Capt. Hynek and
Lieut. Burzynski came here with
Poland's acting consul general, who
went to Riviere A Pierre to meet
them.
The balloonists carried a small
bag and coats, all that was left for
them to travel with for five days
in dense forests.
I'VE landed because we thought
we would drift out to the Atlantic
ocean, seeing that we were going III
an Easterly direction, Lieut.. Bry-
znski informed the United Press.
I'VE jettisoned our provisions to
gain a few extra yards, and to gain
a record for Poland, and all we had
left when we landed was a dozen
oranges and 40 raiSinS.
These iron rations' constituted
our only food until Saturday, when
we had our first real meal in over
a week"
What about the balloon?" came
next.
I'VE have an airplane that l
think is going out to try and To-
cate it today" broke in Acting
Consul Pijaniuski.
Capt. Hynek, leader of the eXpe-
dition, revealed that the balloon
isis had gained maximum height
of 19,500 feet.
