AAA TAKES HUGE
IOWA POLL LEAD
IS Per Cent Back Program
on Basis of Early
Returns.
BIZ United Press


DIES MONIES, Ia, Oct. 5.-First
tabulationS of votes cast by $1,000
Iowa farmers in a referendum con-
sidered a conclusive test of farm
sentiment on AAA crop control
showed II per cent of the voters
desiring to retain the program in
1885.
Although all midwestern states
were conducting similar polls, it was
to Iowa that the administration
looked as the main source of infor-
nation on the desires of farmers.
With $73, 100000 in corn-hog bene-
fits promised, and $27,000,000 of that
sum already paid, Iowa has large
majority of participants in the 1884
reduction program.
The principal question was: DO
you favor corn-hog program for
1882" In votes tabulated in thirty
counties the answer was: Yes, 6,949
No. 2,518.
Only few hundred farmers voted,
according to chairman R. M. Evans
of the state reduction commission,
on a second question: do you ia
vor one-contract per farm pro-
gram on grain and livestock to take
effect in 1882" Mr.. Evans inter
preted the light vote as disapproval.
On the result of the poll hinges
the whole question of whether the
AAA crop reduction program will be
continued next year. Authorities
said they expected almost complete
tabulations by tomorrow.

MADRID, Oct. 5.-Total known
dead in the revolutionary general
strike tonight were more than
twenty-five, with many more wound
ed. The casualty list mounted rap
idly as reports came in from the
provinces, and it was feared the
total dead and injured might ex-
coed 100.
Heavy fighting broke out in Santa
Isabel street in front of the Santa
Isabel hospital. Extremists fired on
police and took refuge in the hos
pital when the fire was returned.
Police continued firing. One civilian
was killed.
Twenty -one storm guards in the
Mieres barracks then were sur
rounded and four of them were
killed when they resisted. The re-
naming seventeen were wounded.
In nearby Santullano, civil guards
fortified themselves in private
house to repell an attack and sew
eral we're killed.
The trouble spread across the
Mediterranean to Africa when
workers in Ceuta, Spanish Morocco,
declared a general strike effective at
midnight.
The important cities of Barcelona
and Seville we're in the grip of the
strike. Oddly, syndicalists did not

is one of the chief centers of syn

The two chief centers of trouble
sa far we're the province of Astu-
rias and the town of Eibar in the
province of Guizpuzcoa, where
heavy fighting was reported in
progress between rebels and govern
ment forces. One hundred storm
guards with machine guns and
trench mortars were sent there from
Bilbao.

Albornoz said he was resigning in

In an effort to build up really

This action, which means that
each department head will pay from

those in the know, earlier contribu-
tons ranging upward from $500.

At noon the jury filed out of its
room and went to lunch. The
twelve men returned at about l
p. m. and resumed the conference
upon which hinges Deans life.
Earlier in the day Special Judge
Clyde Jones had reread his instruc-
lions to the jury at its request, but
it was not learned what specific
problem was puzzling the talesmen
because no questions were asked.
The prisoner, apparently upper
turbed as usual, was in the court
room for a short time as the inStruc-
tions were heard again.
At 7, the twelve men, who for
more than nineteen days had lis
tened to evidence intended to con-
meet Dean with the Staying of the
policeman during a robbery of Peo-
Piles Motor Coach Company garage
in February, 1888, shuff1ed from
their jury room to a nearby res
taurant for breakfast.
1t was a few minutes after re-
that the jury summoned Roy Lowe,
bailiff, and requested that Special
Judge Clyde Jones be asked to read
again his instructions, in which yes
terday he explained the two counts
of the murder evidence.
AT yesterday hush settled over
the courtroom as a signal from the
jury room sent a bailiff scurrying
to the fourth floor of the court
house.
Every one believed a verdict had
been reached. Later it was learned
some of the jurors wanted cigarets
and cigars and several wanted to
learn the result of the second game
of the world series.
Judge Jones remained at the
courthouse until midnight, when he
left for his home. leaving instruc-
tons that sealed verdict be re-
turned if the jury reached an agree
ment during the night.
No intimation of the jury's opin-
ion leaked from the closely guarded
jury room.
If Dean is convicted under the
first count of the indictment, the
death penalty is mandatory. Con-
viction under the second count
death of life imprisonment--would
lie in the discretion of the trial
judge,
If Dean is found guilty under the
first count, he will be the first
defendant to be sentenced to the
electric chair in Marion county in
more than twenty years. according
to court attaches.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-10-05

The score was 3 to 2 after twelve
innings.
The game reached one high
point as entertainment when
Gerald Walker, pinch-hitter for
the Tigers, marred Bill Hallahan's
performance with a single which
drove in Pete Fox with the tying
run in the ninth. 1t rose to a
grand climax when Bill Walker,
who relieved Hallahan after that,
Succumbed to evil in the twelfth.
Bill Walker got one man out, then
walked Gehringer and Greenberg,
the next two hitters. At this
point Goose Goslin, so-called be-
cause he ambles through life be-
hind magnificent beak, broke
through with a single which
chased Gehringer home from
second with the winning run.
1t was a beautiful event for the
StatiSticians.

SENTENCED TO
z TO IA YEARS
Former Meyer-K iSer Official
Also DiSenfranChiSed
and Fined 81 900.
DEFENSE FILES APPEAL
Banker Applies for Bail
Pending Action by
Supreme Court.

Melville S. Cohn. former vice
president and director of the de-
funct Meyer-Kiser bank, today was
sentenced to serve two to fourteen
years in Indiana state prison, was
fined 81, 900 and was disenfranchised
for two years by Special Judge
Alexander G. Cavins.
Cohn was convicted by a jury
July 20 of embezzlement in con-
nection with the operations Of his
bank.
Immediately after Cohn was sem
fenced, his attorneys announced
that they would appeal to the SUI
preme court and would ask that ne
be freed on bond pending a hear
ing on that appeal.
Cohn, guarded by Ralph Hitch,
chief deputy sheriff, was taken to
the supreme court chambers in the
statehouse and the court set hear
ing on his application for bail for
this afternoon.
The prisoner then was returned
to the county courthouse, where he
remained in the custody of Deputy
Sheriff Louis K Murchie. 1t was
understood that the prosecution
would oppose COINS admission to
bail
Cohn stood with his hands
clenched tightly behind his back
and his lips drawn into thin line
when the sentence was read.
Three other former officers of the
bank, indicted by the county grand
jury on the same charge, are yet to
be tried. They are Julian j. Kiser,
Sol Meyer and Ferdinand Meyer.
The bank closed its doors May IL,
1881. Some time later, Circuit
Judge Earl r. Cox named Alvah j.
Rucker as special investigator into
its affairs. Mr.. Rucker made his re-
port to Judge Cox and the findings
were turned over to Prosecutor Her
bert E. Wilson for grand jury &C
ton.
Floyd Mattice, chief deputy prose-
cutor and now states attorney in
the Edward Foggy) Dean trial,
handled the case against Cohn,
which was based on payment of
dividend on stock of a realty COM
pany foStered by the bank.

tense that the d-fashioned

tie, like the old-fashioned virtues
of thrift and sobriety, is a great
bore. Those virtues have been Of
ficially repudiated by acts of con-

han was a dull proceeding, as
tiresome as a blameless life, ex-
cept in those moments when sin
got in its dirty work.
