EAGLE
SQUAbb[E Up
FOR DECISION
Clothing Manufacturer Unwill-
ing To Give Up Emblem With
out Struggle.
By LYLE c. WILSON

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. - The
blackjack of legal precedent ap-
peared likely today to figure in
NRA's most publicized dispute ov-
er authorized use of the blue eagle.
L. Grief and Bros, Baltimore
Md, clothing manufacturers, OBJ
tained federal district court re-
straining order forbidding the gov
ernment to take away its blue
eagle.
The NRA, charging n-compli-
ance with code provisions. set
abou to hold up the Grief firm s
supply of NRA labels.
General Hugh S. Johnson, re-
covery administrator, beloved from
his Aqua Caliente vacation retreat
that court had no power to en-
join NRA. A. G.. Mcknight, NRA
director of litigation, produced a
more convincing argument to-day
in the form of legal precedent.
The William F. Chiniquy Co., of
Chicago raised a similar issue last
spring. The company manufac-
lures millinery in Chicago but the
case was heard before Federal
Judge James G. Caffey of the
southern district of New York. He
had to decide whether the milli-
merry code authority could investi-
gate a company's operations to- de-
termine whether it was entitled to
use the NRA label. He decided for
the code authority.
Mcknight said he believed the
cases were parallel. NRA lawyers
are eager for showdown and vic
tory.
Only the Grief case and two
others in which NRA was a defend
ant have been decided against the
government. The others were the
Hart Coal Co., case in Kentucky
involving bituminous coal industry
wages and hours, and the Irma Hat
Co., cases in Chicago, involving the
retail code. Appeals are pending
before the circuit bench.

BERLIN, Aug. 3.-The German
people at a referendum on Aug
19 will be asked to confirm Adolf
Hitler in office as supreme ruler
of the nation-Fuehrer and Reich
chancellor-for life.
Preparations for the referendum
began today. The ballot will ask a
yes" Or mo" answer to the QueS-
tion: Whether the Aug. cabinet
law merging the offices of Presi-
dent and chancellor is approved
The ballot mentions Hitler as reich
fuehrer with no resistance what
soever on the period of his term.
The result of the referendum is
foregone conclusion The form
er Austrian housepainter thus will
achieve his life's ambition. He will
become the absolute ruler of 65,-
100000 people, capable of being
overthrown only by revolution.
Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister
of propaganda has been laying the
groundwork for the referendum
since the beginning of the week,
when it became apparent Presi-
dent Won Hindenburg's condition
was hopeless.
At a conference today, Goebbels
gave Nazi party officials prelim-
mary instructions for a propaganda
campaign which will be similar
to the high pressure campaign
which preceded the Nov. 12 ref
erendum on Germany's leaving
the League of Nations.
Technically, Goebbels is func-
tioning in this campaign as the
Nazi partys propaganda chief, dis
tinguished from his function as
Reich propaganda minister.
Germany faces an economic
crisis of major Importance. Hitler
is supreme. 1t is Hitler or chaos.
But in the gray fall and winter
months he and his Nazis must
guide the country through suffer-
ing and privation.

On his success depends his fut-
ure.
To aid him, Hitler named HAL

Mrs. Roosevelt

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 8. U.P)-
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was
tousled by a mob of mis-directed
persons who closed in about her
in the courtyard of the Hotel Port
land as she waited to be driven to
the harbor to greet the President
today.
Because the car In which she
was to be taken could not get
through a crowd, the first lady was
forced to stand in the court yard
for several minutes. The crowd
closed in and was forced by those
on the outside,
Some women seized at her coat
and hat and she was jousted about
quite roughly before she was res
cued by secret service men and po-
lice, and dispatched to the harbor
in another car.

WATER GROUP
WILL DISCUSS
TRUCK NEEDS
Additional Equipment Believed
Necessary To Assure Adequate
Relief For Valley.

At special meeting to be held

Sterrett, SERA director, B. M.
Graham, Evan T. Hewes and M. r..

further at a meeting of the county
emergency water relief committee

office of R. G. Wadsworth, chief
engineer for the SERA arrived in
the valley this morning by air
plane from San Francisco and will

valleys water situation. He is ex-
pected to attend the two meetings
scheduled for this afternoon and
evening.

SERA headquarters from the San
Francisco office last night states
that the application for drinking
water is approved as submitted to
August 81. The application for
stock water hauling is approved
for u trucks with drivers, IL lab
orers, three mechanics, and 81
pump operators. The total expen-
diture for his work is set at $21,-
All and is to run from August 2
to August 81.

neer who is at present connected
with the SERA is expected to con-
clude his Investigations here by
tomorrow and then return to San
Francisco in order to submit his
detailed report to officials there.

| Late in May, 1897, q man bv the name
OF Hoover who was herding sheep for
John Barringer, Yves killed By the In
diansnot 20 miles away. The body
was not found for many days. When
found, the ranchers became very much
enraged and excitement ran high. The
settlers were ordered by Sheriff John
Glib Custer county, to leave their
ranches for the sake Of safety. About
$50 men, women and children gathered
at a ranch half way between Lame Deer
and Rosebud. after travelling AL night
IN heavy wagons and on horseback. A
leader was chosen to direct any further
movements and called for volunteers
to take the women and children to q
place Of safety. While these we're very
brave men, they volunteered man 10
60 with the women folks. Seeing that
there would be no men left to help
fight the Indians, q camp was organ
lied there. Guards and sentineIs were
chosen and one man was detailed to go
to Miles City for supply Of rifles and
ammunition for the encampment Food
was supplied by donations from all.
This camp was maintained in q very
war-like manner for about ten days.
Meanwhile a neighbor came to the
ranch and inquired for Adr. Phnbrick,
who was away at the time He then
hastily wrote q message, sealed the
same requesting that it be delivered
to MIR. Philbrick. He had no sooner
left than I, woman-like, opened the
letter and found it contained Sheriff
Gibbs orders to leave Instantly pro-
ceeded to obey orders Summoning the
cook and her husband we gathered
clothing and such valuableS as seemed
most urgent to protect. and with my
three small children we started down

When we had driven about Is miles
suddenly coming around curve, we
met band Of Indians. Mortified, for
we thought we were surrounded BY
Indians, we hastily admonished the
children to lie down In the wagon box
and requested the driver to hurry past
them. AS we drew nearer, Chief Two
Moons. who was riding in the lead,
said whoa" Our team willingly obey

they had been hunting on the north
side Of the Yellowstone and asked
where we were going, saying white

going to do about the trouble. He said

OF ranch life then, as wei as now, made
colorfm by occasional visits from the
Indians, including Chief Two Moons
who led the Cheyennes In the Custer
battle. Early in June, 1890, while alone
on the ranch, Rar. Sharp, from Ton
que river called to inquire about some
horses and asked II were alone, and II
was afraid Of the Indians. Saying
that the people on Tongue river and
upper Rosebud were all leaving their
ranches. that 8 man by the name Of
Ferguson had been killed by the In
dians on the upper Rosebud. Sensing
my alarm, he then tried to explain
that, very likely, there was no cause for
fear, and rode away. This was about
5 o'clock D. M Terrified, I began TO
make plans to move the following day.
Somehow, for the night, hung quilts
up to cover the two small windows, so
that my lamplight could not be seen,
and prepared to await the coming OF
dawn. About midnight heard rap
on the door. I was speeches. Scarcely
breathing for what seemed many min
utesa voice called my name. He had
heard Of the possible uprising and had
ridden many miles TO reach home. The
following day, we moved TO a neighbor-
ing ranch where there were two men
and the three planned that they could
stand of9' quite bunch Of Indians.
That night we spent in rel0ading dish
pan fun OF shells that had been picked
up from time to time on the target
practice ground at Fort Reogh.
After the shells were an loaded and
the stories all told, towards morning we
prepared to sleep, when suddenly we
heard horsemen. Thinking the Indians
were upon us, the men rushed out with
rifles In hand while we ladies waited IN
hreathless terror. The disturbance prov
ed to be two Indian runners" carry
ing dispatches from Washington, D. @.
via Rosebud to Lame Deer agency. AL
ready troops from Fort Keogh had been
sent to the Agency 10 await further or

we all settled down to normal again.

dams killed Ferguson.

D boy about II years of age, who had
come from the east to visit relatives

tossed the murder but would not sur

out on the hills and meet the soldiers
n battle. This they did, about four or
i've days after the murder, shooting as
hey rode. The command was given for
