Birmingham, Ala, May 5.-(R-
Twenty persons were killed and more
than 200 injured by a tornado that
swept three west-central Alabama
communities shortly before dawn Fri

Helena, q mining village of 100 pop
ulation, bore the brunt Of the storm
with 13 dead and nearly 100 injured
Other communities struck were De-
mopolis two killed, Centerville two
killed, Brent three dead and Adams

New Variation of
Snipe Hunt Barred

DR.. H. T. Perry is asking his
friends how long man must live
in North Dakota in order not to
fall for the old "snipe hunt
The good doctor Is a member
Of the city commission and a re-
putable practitioner and he
vouches for this story.
H. p. Goddard, B. E. Jones, S.
F. Hollingsworth and Lieut.. w.
K. Dudley, mighty hunters all he
says, are members of q crow
hunting team in the current ef-
fort to reduce the number of
these vermin in Burleigh county.
Perry heads another team and
was trifle Jealous when Jones
informed him that a spot had
been discovered where the crows
flocked In large numbers to roost.
Perry wanted to get In on the
secret but was told he could come
along only on condition that he
add his count Of crows killed to
that of the rival team.
Whereupon, Perry says, he in
formed the hunters that the way
to hunt crows was at night with
a flashlight, spotting them In the
trees with the light and shooting
them while asleep.
Perry insists that his hunting
rivals fell for the story, crawled
through the woods at night, got
lost and had other exciting ad-
ventures, but bagged nary a crow.
The "snipe hunting" racket con-
sists Of stationing the victim in
the woods with bag and flash
light while the others 60 off, pre-
sumably to drive the snipes to-
ward the light. These fictitious
birds, attracted by the light, pop
into the bag and are captured.
The hunter usually has a long
vigil and q walk home for his
pains but there is no record of
any snipes having been captured
in this manner.
Perry denies that the whole
story is an attempt to stir up in
terest In the crow hunt.
Its true, every word Of It," he
insists.

FUGITIVE FARMERS
SEEN IN MANITOBA
Alleged Slayer Of Eight BeIiev-
ed to Have Crossed Bor-
der At WalhaIla

Center City, Mimi, May 5.-(R)-A
Manitoba farmer identified a picture
of Albin johnson, missing Harris
farmer, as that Of man who had
breakfast at his home Thursday,
County Attorney s. B. Wennerberg
was told by an investigator.
johnson has not been seen since
before the bodies of his wife and
seven children were found in the
ruins Of the family home near Har-
ris, Mimi, April II. Wennerberg be-
lieves the eight were slain before the
fire.
Wennerberg said the information
came from q private investigator
working for him in a telephone call
from a place he declined to name.
The investigator said the man cross
ed the international boundary near
Walhalla, N. D., Wednesday night
and had breakfast at farm south
of Winkler, Man, Thursday.
Wennerberg declined to give the
farmers name. He was told the man
wore attire similar to that johnson
had when last seen in the Harris
community.
Wennerberg was told that the
farmer, shown photograph OF john
son, said, That's the man, all right"
After having breakfast, Wenner-
berg was advised, the man begged
ride from another farmer and ac-
companied him toward Winkler.
I'VE believe we are on the right
TRAIL" Mr.. Wennerberg said. John
son once worked in Canada for a
year and, If he is stiu alive, that
country, I think, is where he would
head for"
Unrelenting in their efforts to
solve the mystery Of the eight deaths.
County Attorney Wennerberg and
Sheriff James A. Smith of Chisago
county ordered the dragging OF the
st. Croix river by expert river men
on the theory that johnson may have
committed suicide.
The river had been dragged for q
distance of six miles once previously
but the second search was started,
Wennerberg explained, merely "for q
double check" The woods and
swampland in this area were being
searched In the belief Johnson's body
might be revealed
A provincial police Gordon was
thrown over southern Manitoba in an
intensive manhunt.

ing these objectives has been pre-
vented by small minority Of units in
many industries. I can assure you
that you will have the cooperation OF
your government in bringing these
minorities to understand that their
unfair practices are contrary to sound
public policy"
There still is work to be done in Or
ganizing legislation to accomplish
this program. It involves a relaxation
of the antitrust laws. Also, appar-
emily, it involves substitution for the
30-hour work week bill of Secretary
Perkins plan for government con-
troll over wages and hours of work.
Notes Business Upturn
Discussing the national situation,
Roosevelt told the chamber there has
been "a slight but definite upturn in
most industries with simultaneous
rise in most commodity prices"
Past experience indicates" he add.
ed, that when the price level begins
to rise after a long period of declin-
ing commodity prices, wages which
have been previously curtailed lag be.
hind the rise in price levels.
Il ask you, who represent in al
probability the majority of the en-
ployers of the nation, to refrain from
further reduction in wages of your
employees and ask you also to in
crease your wage scales in confor-
nifty with and simultaneous with the
rise Of the level of commodity prices
insofar as this lies within voIIr n0wcr
1T is simple fact that the aver.
age of the wage scale of the nation
has gone down during the last four
years more rapidly than the cost O,

day on mortgage foreclosures for those

special mortgage relief provision OF
the administration farm bill.
To obtain the loans, on four per
cent interest rate, the banks will be
required to agree to reduce their In
terest rates to farmers to five per
cent within 60 days after the bills

Thursday when senate and house con-
ferees quickly reached an agreement
on the mortgage relief portion OF the
farm bill.
In addition the banks must agree to
suspend foreclosure proceedings for
two years on loans In default except
