An apartment managers poor
memory for faces and a watchdog's
faculties for sensing danger were
major factors that enabled Dillinger
to slip through the hands of Federal
agents on two notable occasions.
Both times the operatives OF the
Division Of Investigation were caught
unprepared and both times the
cornered gangster succeeded In shoot
| ing his way to freedom-first at a
st. Paul apartment and again at the
Little Bohemia Inn, in Northern Wis
! consin.
Late last March couple with
several heavy grips appeared at the
Lincoln Court apartments in st. Paul
and asked to see vacant apartment
The man. unpretentious-looking and
, with a small moustache, introduced
himself and his companion as Mfr.
and Mrs. Carl T. Hellman," Mrs.
Hellman was young and attractive,
but rather fiashily dressed.
The pair rented a small apartment
on the second floor During the next
few days Mr.. and Mrs. Hellman were
visited by a number of peculiar
visitors-men and women-who came
and went at unseemly hours of the
night, and who often carried cum
bersome bags.
Rear Entrance Used.
Moreover, the Hellmans and their
callers invariably used the rear en-
| trance of the apartment house, which
faced an alley where the Hellmans
parked their car. Just after dusk
each evening all shades in the He'll
man apartment were lowered to
within three inches of the sill. They
always kept them lowered until about
1890 o'clock each morning
The goings-on whetted the curios-
ity of other tenants and of employees
Of the apartment house, but no one
entertained any real suspicion about
| the newcomers until one morning
when Mrs. Hellman refused to allow
q caretaker to enter the apartment
| to repair bathroom fixture. Mrs.
Hellman, obviously nervous, explained
that Mr.. Hellman was bathing, and
that, anyway, he would fix the faucet
himself
On March 80 an einploye Of the
apartment house sent word to Gov
eminent agents that something
suspicious" was going on in the
apartment of the Hellmans. The
strange actions of the new tenants
were recounted in detail.
That night half a dozen men from
the st. Paul Office of the Division of
Investigation placed the suspected
apartment under surveillance. They
slouched in doorways. peered through
/ windows within eyesight range of the
apartment, hid in other places OF
vantage. They saw the shades in the
Hellman apartment go down, but SO
| did the shades In a number of other
apartments. They saw nothing un-
usual that night.
| Identity Is Sought.
Photographs Of John Dillinger and
q number Of his colleagues in crime
were shown the manager of the apart
ment house, Mrs. Coffey, but she
could identify none of them as her
suspicious tenants. She was quite
certain Mr.. Hellman was not Dill
linger.
That seemed to dispose of the Dill
linger theory, but to make sure II
was decided to determine positively
the identity of the occupants.
On the morning after the all-night
vigil, Federal agent and a city police
officer went to the Hellman apart
| ment. The agent knocked on the

ing back TO the Republicans. On
the other hand, they do not want to

tories, nor do they like the senti-
ment for a third party. spreading IN
some of the States of the West.
The Republicans make no claim
they will be able to wrest control of
Congress from the Democrats in the
| November elections. Not one Of the
most optimistic would make such a
prediction. The most any of them
/ hope for is a gain Of rs Or 80 seats
in the House and to hold what they
| have now in the Senate, with perhaps
the gain of a few Democratic seats
| to offset the possible loss of some
now occupied by Republicans. And
great many Of the Republicans do
not look for even that amount of
/ success.
| But the Republicans. like the
/ Roosevelt Democrats, are looking for
ward 70 1886. They do believe that an
other two years may see the Demo-
cratic strength greatly on the wane.
They hold that this year is the peak
year Of governmental expenditures by
the Roosevelt Democrats. and they be-
lieve that when the Government
money begins to fail the voters are
| going to be less happy about the new
/ deal. especially when they begin to
| foot the bill. So they viii be content
if they can dig into the Democratic
ma jority in the House and take away
so or go seats and il they can hold
1 their own in the Senate.

Old Treaty Is Basis.

The Franco-German commercial
treaty of 1927 continues as q basis
for the new pact, but it Is divided
into two sections, one dealing with
trade settlement and shipping" and
the other with merchandise traffic. "
There are in addition number Of
unexplained special agreements. In
sSmuch as the new accord indicates
that France has not been as exacting
in her demands as was expected,
financial observers believe the French
officials may have been fearful that
too drastic interference with German
trade might endanger the position of
the mark.
The German press halls the new
treaty as avoiding severe interfer-
ence" with Frsnco-German trade.

GERMANY TO PAY
FRENCH ON BONDS
Make Concession, as to
England, to Support
Trade Position.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July 28.-Germany di-
gressed still farther today from her
previously asserted inability to make
transfers on the Dawes and Young
loans by announcing payment to
France of coupons on these loans
falling due October Is and Decem-
Der /, 1884.
This provision, which already has
been vouchsafed to England, is given
only indirect mention In the an
nouncement of new Franco-German
commercial agreement which was a
result Of lengthy negotiations here.
The new agreement. it was an
nounced. safeguards Germanys trade
surplus with France. 1t will supplant
treaty which was Cancelled by
France May 81 only to be extended
several times to facilitate loans nego-
tiations.
Saves Good Customers.
The third Reich thus is credited
with having preserved her economic
relations with one of her best Gus
toners. France buys annually about
$50 600, 900 more goods from Germany
than she sells to Germany.
This balance, favorable to Germany,
long has been a thorn in French
trade. Negotiations for a new treaty
were started, it was understood, with
the French determined to level out
the matter.
The Government of Chancellor
Hitler. on the other hand, even
though confronted with the prospects
of treatyless commerce with France
after August l, is believed to have
used the Dawes and Young loan pay
ments to good advantage.
The new agreement provides for
''two-sided general clearing agree
ment." the details of which have not
yet been announced. The payments
on the Dawes and Young loan cou-
pons are to be handled through this
clearing arrangement. This, it was
stated. is similar in principle to that
concluded a few days ago with Swift
erland.

Tropical Storm Hits;
Crop Damage Extensive

Crop damage in Holmes county took
on a new record last Saturday night as
the heavy wind and rainstorm visited
this section. Many of the lowlands
were overflowed and stayed under water
for hours, burying cotton and leaving
mud and trash in the fields. Corn, both
hill and bottom, was a mass of tangled
and twisted stalks as the east wind was
replaced with another devastating blow
from the opposite direction, stalks be-
ing twisted off and blown against the
ground. Little hope is held for much
of it that had been laid by in many in
stances. The damage will run into
thousands of dollars. The rainfall
registered 50 inches, according to Jesse
B. Walton.
Transmission lines were broken in
scores of places in Lexington as trees
crashed over the wires. Crews of work
men were busy until afternoon getting
the damage repaired The city was
without service for several hours as the
primary circuits were being placed back
in service. Telephone lines also suffer.
ed similar damage as broken trees and
limbs fell across them.
Highways and roads were inundated in
countless places over the county as large
holes in the highways and eaving of
the shoulders of the road resulted as
the torrents of water rushed over them
Many creeks went out of their banks,
especially Funnagusha creek between
Lexington and Tchula went on its usual
rampage causing damage from overflows
to crops along its meanderings.
The entire town was filled with de-
bris of leaves and limbs as the wind
| swept over the city The street depart
ment was busy for hours Sunday morn
ing clearing trees from the streets to
allow traffic to pass. In several places
J trees blocked sidewalks as well as
streets in the fall.
Altho property damage is light in
every instance, the farmers have suffer-
ed some Of the heavist damage in years

their cotton and corn crops. A hail

McKinnie Shows Big
Economy in Living

Keeping down living expenses in the
food line is well illustrated by j. B..
McKinnie, who keeps batch" at his
headquarters in the basement of the
Flower store building. Inspection of his
pantry finds canned goods of all de-
scriptions, the work being done by him
self. Surplus vegetables given him are
preserved by canning, his stock consist
ing of beans, peas, pickles, apple butter
vinegar, tomato juices, soup stock, in
fact almost anything that can be kept
for food uses. He also obtains a good
stock by canning on halves with others
which adds to his supply. As to buying
any groceries, ne said ne only bought
little sugar and lard, utilizing al
foodstuff that offered preservation
This economical illustration could be
followed with profit by everybody if
we availed ourselves of it.

Tom Williams, county agent, who paid
a beautiful tribute to the late Joe Lind
sey, who passed way at his home in the
southeastern part of the county near
Goodman several days days ago. Mr..
Williams pictured the deceased as
