~N~A~NCNA
The accused candidate, running
for one of the major offices, had
printed and distributed $4,000 khan
states, it was learned, containing
the name of his most formidable
rival, and including three incum-
bent judges.
The slate read: Stop! Read
Americans. Are you going to be
ruled by CATHOLICS, JEWS OR
NEGROES? The following Demo-
cratic candidates for county and
city Offices have been carefully in
vestigated and found to be 100 per
cent American"
DOC"
Spencer in List
Included in the list we're such out
standing candidates as Herbert M
Spencer, for prosecuting attorney;
Judge Joseph r. Williams for SUI
perior room two; Judge William A.
Pickens, for superior room three;
Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker, I'M
opposed; Thomas A. Hendricks, for
state senator; Glenn B. Ralstbn, for
county clerk, and a score of others.
The spurious states, printed in
three colors, were distributed liber-
ally in the Negro sections of the city,
in punches near Catholic churches
and in the residential sections.
A neat strategem was employed to
learn who was back of the slate.
The signature, DOC" obviously was
designed to give the erroneous i'm
preston it had been signed by
Doc" Farrell, national khan organ
izer, stationed here.
Affidavit Obtained
A committee, including the cam
paign manager of one candidate
and deputy prosecutor, learned
that the states were printed by an
east side print shop.
Pretending to come from the
headquarters of the accused can
didate, they let the printer infer
that they wanted to order more
states. The result was that they
obtained an affidavit from the
printer that he sold the $1,000
states to the campaign advisor of
the accused candidate.
The investigating committee
which obtained the affidavit was
dispatched after a meeting of the
involved candidates, including the
judges, who were furious at the
attempt to label them with the
Khan stigma.
Ruse Is Failure
None of the named candidates
have Khan affiliations and are in
dignant at being linked to any ap-
peal to racial or religious prejudices.
The affidavit obtained from the
printer has been turned over to
H. Nathan Swain, Democratic
county chairman, and it is reported
the involved candidates will insist
on the offending candidate getting
the thumbs down" sign from now
on, even if no grounds for criminal
or civil action can be found.
Early returns today indicated the
coup failed, because practically all
of the candidates at whom it is
believed the slate was directed spe-
officially, are running ahead of the
ticket.
Democratic leaders fear, however,
that the unjustifiable use of the
khan label may injure the Demo-
cratic nominees in the fall election
against the Republicans.
The offending candidate, report
ed incensed because he was not
given the sole Endorsement of the
regular county organization, was
punished to some extent during the
primary.

MISCHLER EVADES
 POLICE PURSUERS
Fugitive Makes Success full Getaway State
 Search Started To-day

Apparently escaped from Water bury, the local prizefighter known as Edward Mischler, Johhny Logan and George Riley was being sought by police all over the state this afternoon for the holdup of Hollis Mitchell at Washington yesterday. Mischler is alleged to have stolen Mitchells valuables, as we'll as his car, in which he fled after stripping and binding the holdup victim.
 Mischler was seen here yesterday morning in the stolen car and was chased by a police motor patrol car, but escaped in an alleyway running from Union to South Main street. He abandoned the car while it was still moving and escaped bullet fired by Patrolman Delmar Dunn as he fled through an alley way.
 The holdup man had lived here for the past six weeks, but when police searched his room at 265 South Main street yesterday they found that all his clothing and belongings had been moved from the premises, supposedly the day before.
 Police today believed that Mis- chler despite the fact that he was injured as he leaped from the car, fled out on to South Main street, across to Meadow street. He is then thought to have left the city safely, probably by hitch hiking.
 A description of him was sent out over the police teletype sys- tenn today,

GOLD STANDARD
 TO BE ABANDONED
Prof. Warren of Cornell Tells German Audience
 It Is Coming

Bad Eilon, Germany, Aug S0.- (UP)-Prof George F. Warren of Cornell, President Roosevelt's ad- wiser on gold policy, to-day pre- dicted in an address delivered at the International Conference on Agricultural Science that all na- tions would soon abandon the gold standard. Gold values are due to undergo violent fluctuations in the coming years, he said. Warren is credited wit hhaving commanded the dollar maneuvers of the United States government during the early hours of the Roosevelt administra- ton, and to have advised Americas s abandonment of the gold standard with subsequent reduction in the gold content of the dollar.
 "Every country eventually will be forced to leave the pre-depres- sion gold standard because of the fluctuations in gold values that may be expected during the com ing years," Warren said. "Re- sumption of the gold standard" he added, "may be possible in the distant future, but it will be de- pendent upon the return of ap- proximate stability to the gold price.

Voice of Mill Owners

New York, Aug 30-UP)- Speaking for capital, Sloan said:
 Tn the face of this threatened general strike, the cotton textile code authority must stand firmly under code number one, negotiated through governmental agencies. including consumer and labor rep resentation. and approved by the president. The employees in this industry have benefited under the NRA more than the employees of any other industry.
 "We cannot amend the code un- der threat of industrial warfare. The institution of such warfare IS an attempted substitution of force for the orderly processes of the MIRA. This is the fundamental principle involved in the present crisis and we believe it is entitled to the support of the government and the public.
 There have been some wholly irresponsible statements as to the technical problem of the work load. or so-called 'stretch-ou Here again this problem is taken code as this question of so-called 'stretch-out' was given careful consideration at the time of it's formulation.

HOBBIES MENACE
 NATURAL ENERGIES
Mental. Hygiene Director Voices Warning As to
 Possible Dangers

While the development Of a hobby provides an outlet for ener- gies and instincts which have no other form of release and is there- fore an aid to good mental health, there turks within the hobby the danger of developing a very nar- row outlook by the withdrawal of effort from other deserving activi- ties and the exhaustion of ener- gies which could more wisely be directed into other lines of en- deavor, Dr c. E. Horton, director of the bureau of mental hygiene of the state department of health, demonstrated in the departments weekly broadcast today.
 The riding of a hobby, Dr Hor- but entertaining, may be danger ously destructive, or may be use- full and constructive, but 1t full fills the requirements if 1t demands and receives absorbing and con- stant interest. The person who is able to satisfy his instinctual de- mands in the course of his daily home and business life Is in no need of a hobby, but people an- swering to this description are few. John Barleycorn once furnished the required outlet, but his high fees and his subsequent punish ment of his frineds have turned many people from his hospitality.
 Among hobbies there is the mak- ing of collections of all kinds, stamps, coins, china plates, ivory elephants, and so on. There are al- so model airplane and boat build ing, painting, politics, Couture" music and sports. Among the hob by riders there are the Beau Brummels, the dietary faddists, the "parlor reds," the parlor "fascists, :" the jingoes, the amateur uplifters. physical culturists and the panacea workers. These are only few, but they serve to indicate the diversity of hobbies, not all of which are beneficial.
 While there is always the ele- ment of satisfaction due to release Of pent-up energy. the other ef- fects of a hobby may be very dif- ferent on the hobby rider or more especially on others. The "parlor red" may relieve his own feelings of inferiority, but he may inspire others to get into real trouble. The amateur adio-telegrapher has an expensive hobby which may de- prive his family of desirable &C., cessories or luxuries, and so on. On the other hand, a youngf farmers interest in astronomy resulted iE the discovery of the planet Pluto. A young surgeons interest in physi- ology resulted in the discovery of lnsulin. Another young man, un- able to afford college, had an ab- srobing interest in geology. He be- came the dean of one of the coun- tvs ousta ndinp cleges

A "New Deal" For-- The Forgotten Cat

"Don't forget to take along tabby-don't leave him behind to starvc and become one of fine worst menaces 10 COnnec. ficut's smaller wild life" This is a request issued by the State Board of Fisheries and Game today to cottagers preparing to leave summer resorts with the approach of Labor Day.
 A total of 1,440 homeless cats abandoned by their own CTS, were picked up or taken in box traps by game wardens subseQuent to the 1883 resort season, according to statistics on predatOr control work just compiled by the board. Re. ports from wardens show more tramp cats are taken near the resorts than in any other sections of the state.
 "Cats must eat," the board points out, land 1t Is only na- tural that after they have been deprived of their usual source of food they should revert to life in the wild. From refuse Repositories they move on to nearby fields and woodlands. Here their natural hunting in- stincts revive and soon song and insectivorous birds, young rabbits and squirrels are being NdcstrOyed.
