DROUGHT
Parched Crops and Dry Wells
Present Serious Situation;
Water Conserved

CHICAGO, May IL QN.S0
From the Rocky Mountain region
today came an uncertain promise
Of rain for the parched, drought
ridden urban and farming com
munities of midcontinent America.
Hopes for general rains, needed
to save the baking crops and fast
dwindling water supplies, were dis
couraging at best, however. Wea'
ther forecasters could promise no
better than light local showers in
the WeSternmost States.
Rain-bearing clouds above the
Rocky Mountains may bring pre-.
cipitation to the sun-baked plains
of the Dakotas, Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa and Minnesota. Scattered
showers-but only local in char.
acter-may fall over other sec
tions of the drought area, mete'
biologists said.
Heavy Rains Needed
At least an inch of rainfall is
needed to get the grain crops un-
der way, farmers assert, and there
was no immediate promise that
this would be fulfilled.
The prolonged drought, marked
by phenomenal dust storms that
have swept top soil and seeds
aloft in choking, binding clouds,
was becoming more acute hourly.
Observers said the Middle West
was confronted by a crop situa-
ton that may prove one of the
most disastrous in recent history.
The plight of many Northwestern
farmers has grown desperate, 1t
was stated.
While the dust clouds rolled on
eastward, to envelop the Atlantic
Seaboard in a "black Blizzard, y
serious damage was left here in
the wake of the phenomena.
Farms on the great plains were
left stripped of fertile top soil.
Drainage bitches were filled with
loose deposits. Seeds were torn
from the soil and whisked away.
Wells Going Dry
Estimates indicated that 70 per
cent of the wells in the vast
drought area are going dry. Water
supplies in urban communities
have dwindled to alarming proper
tionS. Even Chicagoans were
warned to use city water Sparingly
to avert a shortage.
Watering of live stock in the
Dakotas, Kansas, Nebraska, Min
nesota, Iowa and Illinois has pre-
sented a grave problem with the
drying up of streams, wells and
ponds.
From st. Paul, Mimi, came an
alarming report that crop damage
in the drought area has reached
more serious proportions than first
estimates indicated. Prof. Andrew
Boss, director of farm production
control in Minnesota, stated that
crops had dwindled more rapidly
in the past 10 days than in April.
the period covered by the last
Government crop estimates.

QN.SO. Irving Millen, on trial
for murder with his brother Muir
ton and Abe Faber, tried a Dill
linger, but it didn't work.
An attempt to shoot his way out
of Dedham jail last night was crus-
trated by the alertness Of two
State troopers, and today Irving
was. in solitary confinement, nurs-
ing bruises received in the battle
which subdued him.
Nightly Exercise
The three youths had re.
turned from the courthouse,
where they are being tried for
murder in connection with the
holdup Of the Needham Trust
Company in which two policemen
were killed by machine gun
bullets.
They had eaten their supper.
It has been customary to permit
them to exercise by walking up
and down the corridor Of "the
pit" The prisoners have been
instructed not to walk within six
feet Of the two troopers on guard
in the pit.
Irving, who is 81, was the first
to be taken from his cell for
a "stretch-me-out."
Lunges at Brown
At one end Of the pit was
Trooper Theodore Fitzgerald. At
the other end was Trooper John
Brown.
Brown was on duty near the
foot of the stairs leading from
the pit up to the rotunda-and
the path to freedom. AS Irving
walked up and down, he drew
closer each time he turned at
Browns post.
Then he lunged at Trooper
Brown and swung a quick right.
handed punch.
Brown ducked.
Hand on the Gun
Irving grabbed at the troopers
holster containing his 38 caliber
revolver. The spring flap on the
holster Spung open. Irving got
his hand on the butt of the gun.
Irving closed with Trooper
Brown and tried a jiu jitsu hold.
State troopers are also adept in

for a split second they strained.
Then Irving went flying over
the shoulder of the trooper. They
closed in again.
Back To His Cell
Brown and Irving rolled on the
floor. Trooper Fitzgerald, holding
his gun as a butt. tried to slug
Irving as his head came into view.
But Brown was now on top.
He slugged irving in the jaw
and banged his head on the
floor.
Fitzgerald closed in and the
two troopers flung Irving back
into his cell. There was another
short battle before they succeed
ed in locking the cell.
Murton shouted:
care you Okay, Brudgie?"
(Brudgie is Irving's family nick
name.)
Irving shouted back:

STUFFED" Ballot Box
in English ParIiam.

II an old yarn is to be believed,
the people of the world owe their
privileges regarding habeas writs to
an old trick of crooked politics.
When the act of 1879 was going
through the English parliament there
was strong opposition in the house
Of lords. The third reading, ac-
cording to one Bishop Burnett, was
carried by trick. Two members of
the house Of lords. Grey and Nor
ris, were appointed tellers to counts
the vote.
A very fat member was counted
as ten members by Lord Grey who,
so the narrator says, did it at first as
a joke. Then, seeing that Lord Nor
ris, who was in bad health, did not
notice what had happened, Grey.
who favored the bill, went on with
his mlsreckoning, which added
enough extra votes to carry the bill.
"There must have been," wrote a
famous English authority some years
ago, "some mistake, accidental or
willful, for the members were de-
clared to be 81 to 80 for the bill and
by the minute-book Of the lords it
appears that there were only 1o7
peers in the house."

selves very beneficial in the treatment
of rheumatic" aches and pains, ar
Thrills, sluggishness, certain stomach
disorders and other chronic ailments.
It has been estimated that Ameri-

MoSCOW.-The most important
