BANKER TRIES
TO END LIFE
]. W. Hartman Stopped
Twice From Leaping
Off Ferryboat

JERSEY CITY. N. j., July is.
(UP).-Jos. w. Hartman. New
York banker who disappeared
from a Manhattan nursing home
for the second time in two months,
attempted to leap from a ferry
boat crossing the Hudson river
twice yesterday.
Hartman, according to Capt.
John w. Johnston Of the Commu-
nipaw Terminal railroad police,
crossed the river three times. In
each attempt to leap from the
boats he was restrained by deck
hands.
He was last seen leaving the
ferry terminal at 23rd street,
Manhattan. in taxicab at about
1926 p. m, according to Captain
Johnston.
Ferry employees, when shown
pictures of the missing bunker,
said they were positive he was
the man.
In May, Hartman, who was
head of the Hartman National
Bank and Trust Co., walked out
of the nursing home. He was
found "a hours later in a Long
Island hotel, where he tried to
stab himself to death with table
knife rather than be returned to
the sanitarium.
Hartman cleverly led police on
a false trail yesterday by loudly
ordering a taxicab driver near
the nursing home to take him tG
the Fort Lee ferry. The order
was overheard by another cheut-
feur, who relayed it to Col. Will
liam L. Donovan, the bankers at
torney.
Two hours later when the cab
driver return to his sand. he eX-
planned that Hartman had chang
ed his destination after the trip
had started. nm
Hartman is under S25, 1000
bond in the federal court but ne
effected his escape as easily as on
Nav 10Th. While Colonel Dono-
van, Mrs. Hartman, Boykln
Wright, Harriman's son-in-law,
and two assistants of Col. Dono-
van were in conference in the
Hartman apartment at the hos
pital he walked out of servant
entrance, hailed the cab and was
away without having been OBJ
served.
Walter Dunbar, the cab driver,
said that after reaching 69th
street and Park avenue, Hartman
instructed him to drive to the
Liberty Street ferry rather than
the Fort Lee terminal. Dunbar

ITALIANS FACE
BICADYENTURE
Return Flight, Starting
Wednesday To Be More
Hazardous
By SAM KNOTT
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 18.-(UP).-
General Italo Balbo and his 95
Italian fliers slept, played and
worked at intervals yesterday,
seeking to keep up with the social
whirl, to get some much needed
rest and to prepare their giant,
silver ships for the return trip to
Italy.
While his men worked in shifts
on the planes bobbing on the gen.
tie Lake Michigan waves, Balbo
studied routes to follow and in
dicated that on the return trip
the armada probably would take
a more adventuresome course
than that which they followed to
this country. Balbo was uncertain
about the exact return route or
the exact time of departure.
Tentative plans call for the
fleet to leave Chicago's lake front
Wednesday morning and follow
the lakes-canal route to New York
for a visit that may last as long
as nine days and include side
trip to Washington to see Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
If these plans are made perma-
nent, the fleet will fly from New
York back to Italy by a more
southern route than that which
they followed in bringing the
greeting of Mussolini to a Gen.
fury of Progress.
This proposed route would be
by Newfoundland and the Azores,
thence to the base at Orbetello,
Italy, which the armada left June
30.
Tired by a continuous round of
social events Saturday night and
Sunday, the fliers slept late Mon
day. Balbo then gave part of them
leave for the morning. Others of
the crew went to the seaplanes in
the harbor, refueled and tested
them for the return flight.

The fliers. Captain Stephen
Darius and Stanley Girenas, both
Lithuanian immigrants to the
United States, were flying back
to the cheering crowds and wav-
ing flags which awaited them in
their homeland.
They made a slow flight across
the Atlantic, along the same
route taken by Wiley Post on his
world flight, and continuing al
most 100 miles further than
Posts first stop. But some time
around Sunday midnight, or per-
baps a few hours later, their
big craft which had carried them
safely through transatlantic
storms plunged down against the
heavily-wooded hillside where the
flight ended in death near Soldin.

READY TO
PAY MILLIONS
TO PLANTERS
Cotton Growers First to
Get Pay for Gut

WHEAT FARMERS OF
WEST NEXT In LINE
By JOHN A. REICHMANN
United Press Staff Correspondent

By JOHN A. REICHMANN
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 1S. (UP).
The farm relief administration
FASTENED action today toward
pouring approximately 100000
900 into the laps of cototn grow
ers as one more step in its gil
gantic program to restore pros
perity to agriculture along q
wide front.
The money is to be distributed
among planters in 16 southern
states who agreed to reduce sub
stantially their cotton acreage
this year.
While attempts were made to
push full accomplishment of the
cotton program, developments in
all parts of the country worked
themselves into a completed pic,
ture of activity.
Throughout the sunbaked fields
of the west, volunteer workers
were urging the wheat farmers
to contract with the government
to reduce their 1884 and 1895
crops in return for federal cash.
In Des Moines, Ia, representa-.
tives of the corn and hog grow.
ers from their respective states
sought to solve one of the most
complicated problems facing the
agriculture adjustment admins
tration. They will attempt tc
formulate a program to limit
production of corn and hogs.
The Des Moines meeting was
being closely followed by the ma,
tons packers, who repeatedly are
withholding their proposed order
ly marketing agreement until the
corn and hog producers have
agreed on their program.
The packers interest was in
volved since they would have 10
pay whatever processing tax is
imposed on hogs.
Meanwhile the adoption of q
milk marketing agreement be-
tween producers and distributors
in the Chicago area was expected
momentarily. The agreement was
said to be in the hands of law
yers who are studying it careful
ly as the Chicago situation is one
of the most important in the milk
program.
It's adoption will mean the first
test of the drastic licensing pro-
visions of the industrial and ag-
ricultural recovery bills. Stimuli
taneously with the adoption of the
milk agreement all operators sub
scribing to the pact in that area
will become licensed. Those not
having participated automatically
will not be allowed to do bust
ness.
Even so small an item in the
program as the grower of cigar
leaf tobacco is not being neg
lected in the recovery drive.
Growers in the New England,
New York, Indiana, Ohio, Wis
consin and Minnesota areas are
being offered $3,5O0,000 in cash
in return for their agreement to
cut production so per cent.
In attempting to hasten its
cotton program the administra-
ton is moved by desire to per-
init the cotton farmerds to SOW
feed crops in the cotton land they
