Attack Upon Iowa Judge
Brings Martial Law

BradleyS neck. Inc MASKED
leader cried out:
"Swear that you never will
sign another foreclosure action
against an Iowa farm"
The judge replied:
Il cannot swear that"
The rope frightened about the
jurist's neck as one Of the
farmers stepped up with a knife,
ostensibly to cut down the body
when the threat was carried out
At this point the judge was
asked again how he was going
to rule on the mortgage relief
bill. The judge still refused to
promise. but did say he would
deal fairly with all men,"
The farmers drew the rope
taut, and the body Of the Judge
rose, for an instant, clear of the
ground. The hangmen loosened
their grip and Judge Bradley
collapsed.
Again he was asked to swear
against further foreclosures and
again he refused. The leader
commanded:
Then gray. Pray for the
farmers"
With the tin cup crowning his
white hair, the judge .knelt, still
blindfolded, and prayed. He said:
ooh. Lord, 1 pray thee, do
justice to all men,"
SHERIFFS ATTACKED
With that the five masked men
who had arranged the gibbet ran
to an automobile and sped off.
The mob melted away and the
judge truged toward town. Later
at his home Judge Bradley said
he did not care to discuss the
episode. Although his mouth and
neck were cut, the jurist said he
was not seriously hurt.
The days disorders began at
Primghar, Iowa, so miles north.
east of here, when 500 farmers
attacked deputy sheriffs during a
forced sale Of farm property.
They turned their attention to an
attorney for the foreclosure and
forced him to kiss an American
flag and promi.e that he would
not enter into any further fore
closure actions.

SENATE CHIEFS
EVOLVE NEW
PROPOSAL
Seek to Give President Right
to Accept White Metal at
So Cents an Ounce

A move to empower President
Roosevelt to accept a 80 per cent
reduction in payment of the June
IS foreign debt installmentS was
started in the Senate this after
noon by Administration leaders.
They proposed to insert an
amendment in the initiation bill
authorizing the President to &C
cept silver at up to SO cents an
ounce in payment Of the coming
installmentS.
The same liberal treatment
would be accorded the payments
defaulted by France and several
other debtor nations last Decem-
ber.
$1OO,OOO,OOO First Figure
The President originally asked
authority to accept 100000, 900
in silver at not more than so
cents an ounce.
The Presidents original plan
would permit him to allow q 28
per cent slash in the debt pay
ments. The new proposal would
provide a 38 per cent reduction.
This would be accomplished ny
the President accepting silver at
the So cent rate.
The debtor nations would have
to purchase but 17212 ounces at
the current commodity price of
36 cents an ounce, at total cost
of $62 to pay off each 500 of
debts. At the 50-cent rate, the
debtors would have to buy 200
ounces at current cost Of $72
to pay off each 500.
Favored BY Harrison
Senator Hayden (R0 of Ari-
Zona, author of the silver pay
ment amendment, said he was
comforting with other leaders be-
fore increase the maximum rate
from so to So cents. Senator
Harrison CD of Mississippi, an
Administration leader, favored
the higher rate.
Commenting on the plan to per-
nit payments in silver by the
European debtor nations, Senator
Hayden CD of Arizona, one Of the
sponsors of the silver debt pay
ment plan, said:
"NatiOn after nation, to gain
a temporary advantage for itself,
has in recent years debased or
demonetized its silver coinage.
The silver thus obtained has
been thrown upon the market,
driving the price of that metal
to the lowest point in ell re-
corded time.
Common sense would indl-
cate that a reversal of this pro-
cess, restoring silver to its pre-
war and pre-panic monetary
uses, will do more than any
other one thing to generally in
crease commodity prices and
thereby restore prosperity"

BONUS LEADERS

The campaign Of the B. f. r.
for cash payment of the two bil-
lion dollar soldiers bonus as a
part of the Governments infla-
ton program was opened Off
cially today when Is ex-Service
men began a personal canvas of
the Senate Office Building urg-
ing Senators to vote for the bonus

lief and initiation bill.

was in charge of the "shock
troops"
Invasion" Postponed
Leaders of the new bonus army
movement, Foulkrod said, have
agreed to postpone a call for an
invasion" of Washington for two
weeks. This promise, he said,
was made to Louis Howe, secre-
tary to the President, at the
White House yesterday. He
added:
eff the Senate does not ap-
prove cash payment, at least
for needy veterans, we will
then begin a canvass in, the
House for 145 signatures to
the petition of Representative
Lundeen CF.-L.) Of Minnesota
to force a vote in that body.
"UnleSS the Administration
takes some action within the
next two weeks we will issue
a call for several thousand
delegates to come to Washing
ton.
I'VE have been promised the
use of the Brinkley $4,000
watt radio station in Mexico
to broadcast the CALL"
Appeal to President
Meantime, congressional advo-
Gates of cash payment, fearful
of the result of another bonus
invasion of Washington, planned
to make a direct appeal to
President Roosevelt to sanction
cash Eayment of the bonus at
least for need1A veterans. This,
it is estimated would cost ST.
100000, 900.
While House Democratic lead
ers were worrying over the queS-
ton, Representative Lundeen an
nounced he would make a two
year campaign, if necessary, to
force vote on the issue.
Firing his opening gun by filing
a petition to discharge the Ways
and Means Committee from con-
Sideration of the Patman bonus
bill, Lundeen expl ined he will
continue until the House votes on
the proposal.
