Different Story Told

JERUSALEM, Nov. lS The aoueduct constructed by Pontius Pilate shortly before Christ was crucified, is in use again to relieve a water shortage in the Old City of Jerusalem.
 Engineers say it is as effective today as 1t was 1900 years ago when the Roman procurator built it to cope with just such a drought as exists today.
 The Moslem Supreme Council put the aqueduct into action and 1t supplies 2,000 gallons daily to reser- yoirs of the Mosque of Omar.

The issues in the Vermont Senatorial contest seem to be fair ly well defineA The Democrats and their candidate stand square ly back of President Roosevelt and his Administration and have declared so with enthusiasm.
 Gibson. the Republican eandi- date. has aligned himself with the growing opposition within his par ty to some of the present Admin istration policies.
 This being true. an out-and-out test looms in the state. Since the question will be decided early ir the year, before other Congre' sional contests are begun in earn est, political eyes will look to the Green mountains for sign.

DEMOCRATS CUT COP. LEAD

Although Vermont remained in the Republican column in 1892, there were 54,75l votes for Frank lin D. Roosevelt, some 23,000 less than those given Herbert Hoover In 1928 the state polled almost 46 .0O0 more votes for the Repub- lican Presidential candidate than it did for the Democratic. It will be remembered that Pres ident Roosevelt included Vermont on his itinerary during the cam paign.
 When the Democrats met ir convention recently to nominate their candidate for the Senate one native Vermonter made th' following observation:
 Both in numbers as in en' l thusiasm, yesterdays mass meet ing of Democrats was something of a record breaker.
 Following sparsely attended meetings which in the past coult have been held in telephon booth, according to the jokers the assembled democracy filled ev cry seat in its accustomed hal and a large number were oblige' to stand"

At this point the prosecution
made its point and Judge Fosdick
retired to his chambers to read
all testimony in this connection.
There was evidence of scratches
on the body of Costello in DR..
George Burgess Magrath's testi-
mony, the judge said, and as the
trial was being conducted on the
evidence presented, he had no
alternative but to allow the
absorption testimony.
Pathologist Called
DR.. Gettler admitted that, in
his opinion, the efficiency of
oxalic acid as cleaner was not
increased by the addition OF
cyanide.
Ryan concluded his cross-eXam-
ination this afternoon, and the de-
fense called DR.. Francis P. NC
Carthy, of Boston, pathologist and

It took DR.. Mccarthy nine min
utes to recount his training and

the finding of a revolver and
cartridges in his room at the

The nameless fright which had

chasing the gun without a per-

The United States should inter

Under Machado these guar
antics are useless and utterly in

NEW YORK, Aug. 9 G.N.s).-
One child was dead and six of
his playmates missing today, VIC
tins of an incoming tide and
shifting sands which swept 40
Brooklyn orphans into the sea.
The children were among a
group Of 81 who had gone to the
Rockaway section from the Pride
Of Judah Home for days out
ing at the beach. A sudden freak
wave broke over a sandbar where
the children were playing and
they were swept into a terrific
undertow.
seaplanes roared up and down
the Atlantic shore line today
searching for traces Of the SiH
missing orphans. The fact that
none Of the bodies of the missing
had been sighted increased hope
they may have been rescued in
the confusion that climaxed the
tragedy and later wandered away
Helen Hess, an eye witness to
the tragedy, said:
~ saw big wave pitch the
children into the water. / heard
them screaming and saw them
hanging on to one another. Two
women bathers leaped into the
water. They made two trips
each, bringing out two children

morrow is j. Edgar Hoover, long
in the Government service, who
will occupy the key position in

his special assistants, Joseph
Keenan, and Assistant Secretary
of State Moley, are working out
the policy designed to eradicate
racketeers, kidnapers, and extor-

ting these miscreants behind the
bars falls to Hoover and his force
of trained investigators.

The overseers will prepare
legislation to add power to the
Governments arm and determine
how far reaching the drive will
extend. Hoover must work out,
not only the details as to ap-
prehension of the criminals, but
must prepare cases backed by
evidence that will bring convic-
tions in the courts.

NRA PROPOSES
ALTERNATIVE
CODEFORO OIL
Producers, Refiners, Dealers
Find Two Methods Ready
For Ending Differences
BY International News Service

The NRA today took the oil
industry's code in it's own hands
by proposing one of its own for
the industry.
AS result, thousands of oil
producers, refiners, and dealers
over the country will have two
methods before them of accept
ing an agreement.
They can choose the former
unmodified code agreement which
has been pending. or they can
sign up under the Administra-
tion's code, which contains de-
viations in hours and wages
from the original.
The unmodified agreement
provides a maximum 35-hour
week and minimum wages of 40
cents an hour throughout the
industry except for retailing OPP
erations.
For 40 and 36-Hour Weeks
The modified agreement fixes
a 40-hour week for marketing
operations and a 36-hour week
in all other branches Of the in.
duStry. It allows minimum wages
of 40 cents an hour for filling
station employees and from 40
cents to So cents an hour in va
rious geographical districts.
These notifications, it was
stated, have been unanimously
approved by the industry, and
their substitution for the hours
and wages previously proposed is
merely to permit interested com.
panies to obtain the code in
sigma of the Blue Eagle pend
ing adjustment of other prob
lens.
Marketing Provisions
In the marketing branch, all
employees including clerical but
excluding executives and their
immediate staffs shall work not
more than 40 hours a week.
Minimum rates for marketing
branches except those in filling
or service stations, garages, and
other public agencies, follow:
Middle Atlantic, New England,
East North Central and Pacific
divisions, At cents an hour; West
North Central, ~ cents; Noun
tain division, As; South Atlantic,
East and South Central divisions,
40 cents.
Minimum Wage Scale
For employees in filling stations
and other classes not included
in above scales, minimum wages
Of SIS a week in cities of 100000
and over; down to $14 in cities
and towns of 250,0OO down to
$500 are set. A 20 per cent in
crease for employees in towns
under $500 is ordered provided
it does not exceed $12 a week.
Minimum wages for drilling,
refining, pipe line and produc-
tion workers by geographic di.
visions are: So cents an hour in
the Middle Atlantic, New Eng
land, East North Central, and
Pacific divisions: 80 cents in the
Mountain division; 48 cents in
the South and West North Gen.
tral divisions and As cents in
the East South Central and

REPEAL MEANS
NEW JOBS

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9.-Per.
manent jobs for half a million
men and women and a yearly flow
OF $976,0O0,00O into the Federal
Governments Golfers are among
the economic advantages to be
won by the repeal Of the Eight.
eenth Amendment, according to a
study made for the Women's
Organization for National Prohibi.
ton Reform and made public to-
day.
To the States and local govern.
ments, the survey finds, will come
an additional revenue Of at least
$295, ,OO0,O 900; a new market for
more than 100000 bushels of
barley and corn will be created; a
new capital investment of more
than $43O, 900, 900 will be called for
and this latter will provide an ad,
ditioual 10000 temporary jobs.
The economic benefits of repeal
scan be fairly computed and
soundly estimated in the light of
recent Developments" it is set
forth. Moreover, the gains are
not dependent upon an increas'
ed consumption Of Intoxicating
liquors, or on more money being
spent by the people of the United
States for alcoholic beverages
The statement says:
"On the contrary, the items
listed are computed on much
lower consumption of hard
liquor than prevails at present
and diversion of taste to
cheap, temperance promoting
beverages of low alcoholic con-
tent, such as light wines and
beer"
The conclusion is reached that
1t is the bootleggers who will suffer
and the money that is to accrue to
the Government will be diverted
from the financing of crime.
