WH = Pleading that the farmers
maintain the courage and faith
they have shown in the drought
catastrophe, President Roosevelt
today pledged the support of the
government toward meeting con-
ditions and improving them.
The chief executive talked to an
enthusiastic crowd of more than
10000 who cheered him repeated
ly when he arose to address them
after a three hour motor trip
through the surrounding country
side.
The President promised that he
would call a conference of the ex-

studying the drought conditions in
order to formulate a program for
North Dakota.

along" Mr.. Roosevelt said, (Which

STAGE
HOLD Up IN
LOCAL HOTEL

'This is holdup, stick 'em up, -
Louis Waddell, night manager of
the California hotel, was told at 4
clock this morning as three youths
burst into the lobby of the hotel.
Two of them covered Waddell with
revolvers while the third member
of the band got the keys to the
money drawer, opened it and took
$54 in cash as we'll as envelope be-
longing to a guest which contained
$31 in cash and some checks.
With warning against making
any outcry the three boys left the
hotel and made good their escape.
Relating his experience this morn
ing Waddell stated he was positive
the boys were not over 18 years OF
age and that the youngest Of the
trio, the one who opened the money
drawer, could not have been more
than IA years old.
Waddell was sitting in chair in
the lobby at the time of the hold
up, he stated. The three boys, one
of whom had his head completely
bandaged excepting for eyeholes,
rushed into the lobby from the
Fifth street entrance. Thinking an
accident had happened in the vi
cinity, Waddell got up from his
chair only to be met with revolvers
in the hands of two of the boys and
the statement that a holdup was
being staged.
He stated that the boys were AM

GREEN WILL
BATTLE FOR
:. SHORT WEEK
lnn- 4.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. T.
U.P) - Organized labor's leaders,
were believed planning a gigantic
drive for extended government &C
ton against unemployment today
as the American Federation of La
bor executive council meeting en-
tered its second day.
President William Green indicat-
ed the annual federation conven-
ton at San Francis October l
would throw it's fu)' force behind a
drive to establish compulsory
five day work week. Restoration
of the Civil Works Administration
in place of direct relief measures
which succeeded it, may be asked.
Green, estimating the unemploy-
ed still numbered 100000, de-
clared:
''Our four years of terrible un-
employment have demonstrated the
fact that If we are to provide work
for all, the five day week must be
established. ssNy-,
He asserted that while NRA had
made jobs for 100000 to 10000
persons, industry was too slow IN
absorbing the idle, and probably
would not be able to take up the
slack without a uniform shortening
of working time.

DEATH CLAIMS
BOSS VARE
Veteran Political Leader Was
Deprived OF Seat In Senate
In 1926.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. 7.
WP)-William S. Ware, who for
nearly a generation held political
control of Philadelphia, died to-
day at his Atlantic City home.
He was one of the last of the
old-time political bosses" who 80
years ago, controlled various key
cities of the nation. He was &C years
old.
His death, which occurred at IL 80
a. m. brought to an end the Re-
publican dynasty that dated back
more than SO years, to the vigorous
days of Matt Quay, Boise Penrose
and Jim McNichol.
Actually, the organization"
which Ware inherited had it's Or
ganization in the days of Thaddeus
Stevens, irreconcilable foe of Alb
raham Lincoln. 1t was built and
cemented together by Stevens, and
handed down practically intact, to
the various successors.
Ware was one of three brothers
George and Ed Ware, older than he
was, threw him into politics in
1898, when he became a city coun-
Gilman and shortly thereafter its
president.
His greatest political triumph
and defeat-came when he resign
ed from congress to run for the
senate. In a bitter campaign, he
! defeated George Wharton Pepper
and Clifford Pinchot, and ther
as easily beat William B. Wilson
4 his Democratic opponent.
The senate, undergoing purg
| ing at the time-this was in 1921
/ refused to permit Ware to take
his seat. charging he had bought
his election through excessive ex.
penditures. The decision so disap-
pointed the leader that his health
was seriously affected and for 6
time it was thought he would die
In 1923 he suffered stroke.
From that defeat, too, Ware lost
much political ground, and his
machine began to crumble beneath
him. Although he was elected ma
tional committeeman, his heart wa:
not in his work, and lesser leaders
pulled away from him.
The final blow came when his
own candidates were disastrously
whipped in the last municipal
election, under an avalanche o1
Democratic votes.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Aug. Z. U.H
An ocean of hot, stagnant air,
two miles deep and extending from
New Mexico to Iowa, today hung
like pail over the southwest.
Temperatures rose to the 100 de-
gree mark and the heat wave again
harassed the area suffering from
an unprecedented drought which
has claimed approximately 1000
lives and caused more than $1,000,-
100000 damage to crops and stock
this summer.
Meteorologists could promise no
immediate relief. The low pres
sure area-the ocean of dormant air
was persistent. AS long as it
stays, forecasters said, the heat will
continue.
Up to 10000 feet the prevailing
winds in this region are southwest
erly. Above the 10000 foot mark,
on the fringe of the stratosphere,
the winds blow all the time and
from the west. Today in the area
from New Mexico to Iowa, the only
breeze was of local origin.
In some areas rain fell, but it
was only a trace Yesterday the
maximum temperature at Phillips
burg, ,Kans., was ITS degrees. In
the afternoon, shower fell. 1t
evaporated quickly. The tempera-
ture dropped 10 degrees-to LOT.
A few thin clouds hung over
Kansas City, the focal point of the
new heat wave. The sun melted
them rapidly. The maximum read
ing heat here yesterday was 106 de-
grees. The mercury dipped to SO
degrees cary today and then start
ed its usual ascent after dawn.
A few showers fell in Nebraska
but did not break the drought. At

CHICAGO, Aug. 7. America
swung today from a desperate bat
tie with depression to meet flank
attack by a new and equally sim
lister enemy in the form of drought
and hot weather.
Punch drunk but with billions of
dollars Of federal money serving
as smelling salts in the country s
nostrils, it just was coming from
the throes of great business stag
nation when the new menace ap-
peared.
In the last II months approx
mately $5,000,000,000 have been
spent by the Roosevelt administra-
ton as the price of such business
recovery and relief as has been
furnished the country.
The President today was travel
ing by railroad across North Da-
kota, looking out over agricultur-
al areas spotted by great mounds
of fine dust where waving fields of
grain grew in other years. In his
ears echoed the dire estimates that
the drought has taken a toll OF
SIS, 100000
This was the way the American
situation stacked up today:
Five billion dollars apportioned
for widespread relief.
: An equal amount swept away by
one of the cruelest prankS that ma
ture has played on American agri-
culture in a generation.
The President was faced with
the problem of changing the course
of his elaborately planned program
of crop reduction in the face OF
dry weather that has made the
prospects for American crops this
season the poorest since the turn
of the century.
Situation Unprecedented
Instead of arranging with farm
ers to cut down their acreage the
administration turned most of its
emphasis on a plan to move farm
ers from the marginal lands to
more fertile areas where they can
make living.
The situation was unprecedented
in modern American history.
Affecting "a states-one half of
the nation-directly and the entire
land in its ramifications, the
drought seemed climbing to new
intensity today.
The weather map showed only
scattered drops of rain over the en-
tire middle west, southwest and
northwest. Temperatures mounted
rapidly toward the 100 mark again
