GENEVA, August GA total world
expenditure on ornaments in 1888 of
between $3.471 100000 gold and $4,-
399, 100000 gold was estimated in the
League of Nations ornaments year
book, issued today.
The volume warns that the CONVEX

New York does not enable tie true
trend of military expenditure to be
appreciated correctly, because the do

in only few.
The armamentS book estimated the
total war expenditure in 1881 at
$3,945, 100000 gold, then explains the
drop to the 1888 amount by the depre-
citation in the exchange values of ma

"The true curve of world and ma
tional expenditure" says the book, lies
in 1888 between $3,471 ,O0O, 900 and an
estimate of $4,399, ,00O, 900 which latter
figure is based on the pre-1932 par of
exchange in various countries.

VAN METER SLAIN
AFTER PAL TIP
DiSSenSiOn in Ranks of Mel
son Gang Over Two Bank
Jobs Leads to Death.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, August 28.-L gang of
10 men, headed by George Baby
Face" Nelson, was planning two big
bank holdups, simultaneously, in Min
neSotas iron range when diSsension
developed within the ranks and
Homer Van Meter was put on the
spot" by one of his own pals, it was
learned today from a reliable source.
For the past six weeks Van Meter,
who was slain last Thursday night by
st. Paul police, has been looking
over" banks in Northern Minnesota,
including Duluth, Hibbing, Virginia
and Eveleth. 1t was reported he was
designated by the gang as the "ad-
vance man"
Planned Simultaneous Strike.
The gang, the same report said,
planned to strike simultaneously on
two banks-about 40 or so miles apart
with the idea of getting large
sum of money and then fleeing to
their hideout, reported somewhere
The mob planned to escape to Can
ada If their booty were large enough.
Baby Face" Nelson, now known as
Americas public enemy No. l, had
been reported seen in Northern Min
nesota towns several times recently.
The chief of police of Virginia today
admitted that a citizen had reported
to him that he identified man giving
a Virginia bank the "once over" as
the notorious desperado.
Flare up" in Ranks.
The report listed members of the
gang, said to number 10 exclusive of
their woman companions; John Ham
ilton, Dilllnger lieutenant, who has
been reported dead; Alvin KarpiS,
sought for the Edward G, Bremen kid
naping; his brother, Fred DOC"
KarpiS, and a few new connections"
Then a "flare-up" came within the
ranks, the report continued. Some
members of the gang feared Van
Meter might be captured and this
might result in disclosure of the iden-
tity of the new members of the gang.
He knew too much. He had been trav-
cling around with too many women
and his companions thought this
would lead him into trouble.
There was discord within the gang,
the report continued, but it was fin
ally agreed that if Van Meter we're
put out of the way, their chances for
a getaway would be enhanced. The
'tip-off" to the St Paul police fol-
lowed and Van Meter was slain.
Now, it was reported, the heat"
has become so intense because of the
killing that the gang has temporarily
abandoned their plans but may go
through with them at a future time
The hideout, said to be on the Mime
sofa side near the international bor-
der, was reported to be "as safe a
place as any in the world"

PERMANENT P.W.A.
FAVORED BY |CKES
Secretary Says U. S. Should
Continue Loans for Fed

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Ickes told reporters today
he favored a permanent Federal sys-
TEN of public works to be created after
the present Public Works Administra-
ton dies, next June Is.
Ickes said he expected to make a
recommendation for a further public
works appropriation by the next Con-
gress, but that it was too far in ad-
vance to give any indication as to how
much would be requested and the
scope of work to be undertaken.
The Secretary said he did not know
of any recommendation he might
have made for continuance of p. w.
A. for two more years after June 16.
Donald r. Richberg of the executive
council advised President Roosevelt In
report on the recovery program
Sunday that Ickes had recommended
two more years existence for Public
Works.
Il don't remember making any such
recommendation" Ickes said.
Loans for U. S. Jobs.
'T think P. w. A ought to be a
permanent function of Government, "
he asserted. There ought to be Fed
eral public works, although there is
some question as to whether loans
ought to be continued for non-Federal
developments That would depend on
conditions as they develop.
The Federal Governments definite
program Of Federal public works ought
to be undertaken in cooperation with
States and communities in some in
stances. I do not think P. w. A.
should continue financing indefinitely
however, such projects as local paving,
city halls and so forth.
There ought to be an equitable
contribution from States and COM
munities."
Ickes suggested it might be we'll to
have modified form of the present
public works policy.
Big Reserve.
In addition to the main Federal
Ickes said there should be
a big reserve of public works projects
ready to be started Immediately in
times of depression.
THE regular program" the Secre-
tary said, would be one in which the
Federal Government would have a
particular interest from the point of
view of the Nation as a whole. The
reserve program would involve more
local interests"
Ickes said he thought Richberg's
report had confused a report he had
made to the executive council in
which he said many public works
projects for which allotments have
been made would be under construc-
ton two or three more years. This
has been obvious from the first, the

BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, August 28-In
the quiet seclusion of his "cubby-
hole" study on the first floor of his
ancestral home here, which is to serve
as the Summer White House" for the
next few weeks, President Roosevelt is
today giving his attention to the ad-
ministration's problems confronting
him, as well as accumulated routine
business requiring his immediate atten-
ton.
1t is what Mr.. Roosevelt referred to,
as he prepared to knuckle down to
work, as an ideal day for inside work.
During the morning there was driv-
ing rain, which was followed by over
cast skies, suggesting another down.

and the log fire in the big living room,
where the President sat for while
after breakfast reading the morning
papers, was very welcome.
While at Hyde Park the President
is going to follow the work scheme he
developed last Summer. which called
for intense labor for only half a day.
He proposes to try and devote the
greater part of the afternoons to what
few callers he expects to receive
during his stay and to ride over his
large estate and to other forms of
relaxation and rest.
Lehman Is, Visitor.
He is looking forward to spending
most of this afternoon with Gov.
Lehman of New York, who will be a
luncheon guest and who will remain
on for an hour or so afterward. In
announcing the engagement with the
New York executive, Col. Marvin H.
Mcintyre, who is in charge of the
temporary executive Office at Pough-
keepsie nearby, said that there is no
significance to this visit. He explained
that the President and Mr.. Lehman
are old friends, the latter serving
as Lieutenant Governor during Mr..
Roosevelt's last term as Governor OF
this State However, there is every
reason to know that during their chat,
they, too, will 60 very thoroughly into
the political situation in their State

lens.
The President had no comment to
make today regarding the latest de-
velopments in dispute among some of
his associates in working out a plan
for the reorganization of the N. r. A.
which dispute, according to reports
from Washington is understood to
have been won, technically at least, by
