SUCCUMBS

NEW YORK, Oct. 4 G.NSD,
Hilda Ferguson, beautiful Follies
girl who shared the apartment
with Dot King in which Miss
King was killed some years ago,
died just before midnight.
The blonde beauty was listed as
a heart case" although there
seemed to be an air of secrecy
concerning her death. She was
brought to New York Hospital ill,
but just how long before her death
could not be aScertained.
The former Ziegfeld girl was
born Hildegarde Gibbons, in Bal
timore, where her body probably
will be taken today. Besides ap-
pearing as a material witness in
the stabbing of Tough Willie"
McCabe, Broadway gambler, she
was a figure in the Arnold Roth

Student Paper Of Havana Puts
Riot Blame on WeIIeS;
GUN Search Goes On

HAVANA, Oct. 4 G.N.S0 .-Ru-
mors of a bomb plot against the
American Embassy today led Gu
ban authorities to double the SOL
dier guard there.
The rumors followed a printed
attack against United States Am
bassador Sumner Welles in the
student newspaper Alma Mater,
charging him with responsibility
for the fighting at the National
Hotel Monday, in which approx
mately 100 lives were lost.
Students in Raids
Meanwhile, despite heavy rains
in Havana accompanying the
Matanzas hurricane, students
pushed their campaign to disarm
civilians.
A raid by soldiers on the home
of former President Mario G.
Menocal, who was reported in
flight, gave rise to rumors that
more than 20 opposition leaders
had been arrested.
No prisoners could be found in
police stations, however.
Col. Carlos Mendieta, another
rival of President Grau San
Martin, also was reported hiding
Meanwhile, Havana rapidly re-
turned to outward normality.
Loss About 100000
Will Taylor. manager of the
National Hotel, directed workers
removing debris from the hotel
grounds preparatory to reopening
the building Saturday.
New estimates placed the dam
age to the building at about
100000.
Taylor said he proposed to
leave the shell marks untouched
as souvenirs.
The body of George Lotspeich
American, who was killed during
the fighting, is being sent to
London, Ohio, his home town.

U. S. Marines Sail
On "Practice Cruise"

With the possibility that they
might be rushed to Havana to
serve as an embassy guard to
protect American lives and prop
erty, more than 500 Marines
boarded the battleship Wyoming
at Hampton Roads this morning
To the tune of "A Hot Time in
the Old Town Tonight"-the same
tune played as American troops
left for Cuba in '98-the detach-
ment, the second battalion of the
Seventh Marine Regiment, left
Quantico last night by special
boat for Norfolk.
Ready For Action
Bronzed by weeks of maneuver-
ing in the late summer sun, the
Marines appeared fit and ready
for action as they swing on board
the boat under full field equip
ment.
Just before the battalion en-
barked, Brigadier General Harry
Lee, commandant of the Quantico
station, addressed them as they
stood in formation.
Following this there burst from
a thousand throats that stirring
Marine Corps hymn, From the
Halls of Montezuma" and then
the battalion moved to the docks.
practice Cruise"
AS they lined the rails of the
boat the envious members of the
First Battalion, which is left be-
hind. called out:
"See you in Cuba"
Mystery surrounds the ultimate
destination of the battalion,
Marine Corps headquarters here
protesting to know nothing
except that it is a practice
cruise"
From the time they boarded
the wyoming, it was explained,
the Marines are under Navy
orders.
Destination Unknown
Some time today the ship
leaves under sealed orders, but
bound in the direction of Cuba.
Some officers are of the
opinion that she will go directly
to Havana and land the battalion
at once.
Another belief is that she will
go to Dry Tortugas, once famous
pirate rendezvous now American
territory, and remain there. This
island is less than four hours
steaming distance from Havana.

YOUTH A NEW SOCIAL EVIL
Aida Bowler Finds
Breakdown In
Sterilization

The lure of the road must be
offset for the horde of idle boys
and girls in this country who, like
10 in Dickens "Bleak House." are
always moving on" according to
Miss Aida C. Bowler, director Of
the delinquency unit of the Chill
dren's Bureau.
Miss Bowler found that during
the past year the number of these
wandering young people has been
increasing steadily. They present.
she says, one of the major prob
lens of the economic crisis.
A Deeper Problem
She declares:
From a national viewpoint
the problem of the transient
boy and girl is of deep social
significance. Economically it
will bear fruit for many years
by reason of the instability that
is becoming a characteristic, of
thousands of young people de-
prived of stabilizing influences
normal to the adOIeScent."
Merely feeding the boys and
girls will not, Miss Bowler thinks,
be sufficient. The problem lies
deeper than that and must not
be overlooked in the recovery
program.
She says:
Even if relief was entirely
adequate insofar as their mater.
ial needs are concerned there
would still be the problem Of

his home life, in his school,
in work or church associations
and in the various contacts
with which he fills his life.
keeping up his morale and
protecting his mental health is
of vital importance. The lure
of the road must be offset for
the jObIeSS adOlescent. He must
be relieved of the hideOus bur-
den of having nothing to do,
from the crushing sense of not
being wanted, of being a prob
lem and not a human being"
Extraordinary efforts will be re-
quired, Miss Bowler warns, during
the coming year of agencies de-
voting themselves not to feeding
the starving but providing enter
tainment, advice and friendlineSs
for the families.
Casualties Increase
Figures submitted by various
agencies throughout the country
have augmented the brief study
of the situation made by the Chill
dren's Bureau in the spring of
1882.
All agree that the number of
wandering young people is rapidly
increasing.
AS the majority of them travel,
not by hitch hiking, but by steal
ing rides on freightS, the casualty
list has been appalling. The moral
risk, Miss Bowler says, is even
greater.

of German-made goods is under
way in Washington today, follow
ing a mass meeting of TOO women
members of various Jewish or
ganizations last night at the
Jewish Community Center.

was the only effective weapon to
combat Hitler persecution and
that already the worldwide Jew
ish boycott was beginning to force
the Nazi government to curtail
its anti-Semitic campaign.
Mrs. John M. Safer, chairman of
the consumers unit of the Wash

sided. Mrs. Harry Brenton, for
mer president of the Council of
Jewish Women; Morris BiSgyer,

900; Mine War Disturbing

NEW YORK, Oct. 4 G.N.S0.
President Roosevelt today moved
to complete his banking program
to release about $4,000,0 10000
tied up in closed banks, drafted
formal charts for a permanent
NRA setup, and prepared speech
which he will deliver here tonight
before the National Catholic
Charities.
At the same time the EXecu-
tive kept a close watch on every
development in Cuba. He was
constantly in touch with the
State Department in Washington
and, although he announced this
nations policy of nonintervention
remained unchanged, he checked
carefully every move made there.
COnfers With Woodin
The new banking program and
organization of the permanent
NRA unit moved forward under
the impetus of a day of whirl-
wind activity.
Arriving here from Chicago
after a speech before the Ameri-
can Legion convention, Mr.. Roose-
velt called before him Secretary
of the Treasury Woodin, Gov.
ernor of the New York Federal Re-
serve Bank George L. Harrison,
and Recovery Administrator
Hugh S. johnson.
Resulting from these confer
ences came advices that the bank
ing plan was to get under way
with all possible Seed and that
with Johnson the President plan
ned to build up a permanent or
ganization for administration Of
NRA codes as fast as possible.
Mr.. Roosevelt was expected to
ing these matters to the atten-
ton of his audience tonight. The
President was especially concerned
over labor trouhlcj which have
developed in Western Pennsyl-
vania's socalied captive" or steel
company-owned mines, within the
past "a hours.
Mine War Stands Out
He may explain tonight just
what he hopes to accomplish
through administration Of the
codes drafted under the NRA.
The Pennsylvania trouble sup
piled the most vivid example Of
tie difficulties to be expected in
administration of codes. A re-
newal of the recent strike in that
sector was threatened over the
agreement which steel company
mine owners recently signed at
the instance of the President and
Johnson.
johnson said ne thought the
steel companies were wrong. They
refused, he said, to grant opera
tion of the check-off system and
selection of acknowledgment by
the workers under their agree
ment, which provided that the
captive mines would operate, to
all intents and purposes, under
the bituminouS coal code.
