PLAN PROBE

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Aug. IA. U.P,
A grand jury will be summoned to-
Gay to investigate the lynching of
two young Negroes charged with
numbering a white girl.
While the International Labor
Defense, whose attorneys we're
threatened with lynching and for
hidden from serving as the Negroes
counsel, charged local officials with
responsibility for the lynching,
Judge Henry B. Foster said he
would order a sincere and thor

ID, A. T. Harden, 16, and Elmore
Clark, %, all were charged with
numbering Vaudine Maddox Is, and

AFTER CRIME

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IA. UP
Frank Fabian, 81, physical Gull
ture instructor at San Francisco
gymnasium, attempted suicide by
butting his head against his cell
wall today a few hours after he
confessed to numbering his month
old illegitimate daughter.
Apparently crazed after night
of police questioning, Fabian hurled
himself against the steel wall short
ly after officers left him. Jailors,
summoned by other prisoners, hur-
ried back and overpowered him be-
fore he could make a second at
tempt.
He suffered serious head injuries
and was removed to emergency hos
pital.
The baby's body, the throat slash
ed, was found in a upper bag be-
meath Fabians house after the
conscience stricken athlete called
up his attorney, Edward Mckenzie,
and told of the killing. He said the
child's mother was a Swedish do
nestle whom he refused to name.
The baby was deformed at birth.
1t was born in an institution and
was taken from there a week ago
by Fabian. He said he determined
to kill it in remorse for what he had
done.
Fabian lived with his father, mo-
Their and sister.

BALANCING Of
BUDGET NEAR
National Governments Financ-
ial Condition Shows Improve
ment.
BY RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY
United Press Financial
Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA. = The
federal government is near its goal
of a balanced budget, except for
heavy emergency expenditures
which the administration believes
should be paid for over a period of
years rather than out of current
receipts.
The emergency expenditures, in
GLIDING the $4,000, 100000 public
works program and other extraor-
binary activities, are not carried in
the ordinary budget The public
works costs are to be amortized
over a period of years by special
taxes of 1925 100000 annually voted
by the last session of congress.
Steadily rising tax revenue from
legalization Of the sale Of beer and
increased business activity, together
with large reductions in running
expenses of the government have
virtually achieved balanced budget
for ordinary operations.
In the first ten days of August
the treasury collected in taxes an6
other income total of $40, 453 t9l4,
an dspent $78,783,515 for running
expenses.
Not included in the above figures
we're $62 .407,2 200 spent in the first
10 days of August for emergency
relief expenditures such as recon-
struction finance corporation, pub
lie works and emergency conserve
ton work.
Income Increases
From July 1, the start of the cur
rent fiscal year, to August 10, IT.
come of the government amounted
to S242, 667, 485. Ordinary expendi-
lures, including many millions OF a
homecoming nature, came TO
$274,4C1, 484. This $32,000,000 defi-
cit in ordinary operations is expect
ed to be made up when full effects
of the economy program are 1elt
and September quarter income tax
payments come in.
Emergency expenditures in this
period amounted to 137,575 ,942. In
the corresponding period OF last
year relief expenditures through the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
amounted to $l88,810,514.
The current figures are not en-
tirely comparable with those OF last
year because of bookkeeping
changes put into effect July by
The new administration to segre-
gate ordinary from emergency ex-
penditures. This change has drawn
considerable criticism from Repub-
ljcan leaders.
The total income of $242 ,667, 485
from July to August 10 was near
ly double the 1922, 7l4S74 coiiecteo
in the corresponding period OF last
wear when some of the current taxes
were not fully in effect. Total ex-
penditures, including emergency this
year were s412, 161 ,427, against 1884,
SIP, 1856 in the corresponding period
of last year.

Furniture and equipment salvaged
from the damaged hospital build
ing next door had been stored in
the nurses home and were burned

A high wind from the east scat
tered sparks and endangered sur
rounding dwellings, Reams said, as
we'll as handicapped firemen in
stemming the blaze in. the nurses
home. Men were stationed on roofs
nearby to eXtinguish sparks alight-

Adoption OF Budget
Meets With Delay

Meeting this morning to put what
they hoped would be the final
touches on the county budget which
has been under consideration for
some weeks past, the board OF sup
ervisors met with a difficulty which
may hold up this work for few
days.
Walter Carey, county auditor, APP
peared before the board and told
them that owing to the tax mora
torium which has been in effect
in the state, certain work in con-
nection with the tax records has
been delayed and it may not be
possible for him to have necessary
data upon which the tax rate for
the fiscal year is to be computed
ready for the supervisors until later
in the week. The board continued
its discussion of various budget
items.
The contract between the county
health department and the city OF
Ell Centre was approved by the
board and Marion Buckholz was
authorized to carry on the labora-
tory work in connection with the
health Office which he has been do
ing the past two weeks,

FACTIONS IN
CUBA UNITED
New President Forms Coalition
Cabinet To Restore Orderly
Government.
BY WILLIAM ii. LANDER
United Press Staff Correspondent

HAVANA, Aug. IA President
Carlos Manuel De Cespedes formed
a strong coalition cabinet today
and with all Cuba behind him, de-
termined to restore order at once,
ruthlessly, if necessary. He had the
cooperation of the United States to
bring the island republic a new po-
litical and economic deal.
Immediately after formation of
the cabinet, Lieut.. Col Erasmo Del
gado, new commander of Havana
province, posted by presidential
authority a proclamation warning
that soldiers would fire on anyone
footing, pillagng, or starting in
cendiary fires.
AS the final cabinet list was drawn
up, the United States destroyers
Taylor and Claxton steamed past
historic Moro castle and anchored
along the water front.
They came in token of the Am
erican governments support of De
Cespedes, and not as threat OF
intervention.
| With formation of the cabinet
and departure for Panama early to-
day of General Alberto Herrera
secretary of war in the Machado
government and potential threat
to De Cespedes, the situation was
regarded as materially improved.
The cabinet represents a wide
coalition of elements opposed to the
iMachado regime, including strong
Nationalist, ABC and Marianista
representation.
De Cespedes did not fill the post
of secretary of state, but will fill
the office himself as under the
constitution it was necessary fol
him to become secretary of state be-
fore he could be named provisional
president.
With his cabinet formed, the new
president faced two urgent tasks.
First was to quiet the populace
Saturday, when General Gerard(
Machado's dictatorship ended, the!
burned, looted and killed.
The killing continued Sunday, ant
at least 20 we're assassinated dur
ing the day.
De Cespedes' second task was tt
get shopkeepers to reopen their es
establishments and get the worker
Iout on a general strike to return
It was the workers who starte
what the army finished in sendin
Machado fleeing from the countr
in an airplane for the Bahamas.
