WOMAN COVERS UP.

Companion Captured a
Time of Flight Parries
Police Questions.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL. Mimi, April 5.-An
authenticated woman, parrying police
questions with cryptic answers, stood
today between Federal agents and
possible capture of the notorious
John Dillinger.
The officers continued silent on the
progress of their investigation, but
reports were circulated that the wom-
an is Bernice Norton, a friend Of
Evelyn Frechetti, who, in turn, is
friend of Dillinger. Agents referred
to the woman as Bessie and her
description fits closely that of the
| Norton woman.
The woman occupied an apartment
with Eugene Green. a Dillinger asso-
ciate. Green was severely wounded
and the woman was captured Tuesday
night when the pair called at the
hcme of a colored woman for luggage
Green had left there.
New Hideouts Found.
Arrest of the pair led to discovery
OF two more hideouts Of the new
Dillinger gang in the Twin Cities.
The resultant inquiry led, too, to the
questioning of Edward G. Bremen. St.
Paul banker, who paid 100000 for
freedom from kidnappers last jan
uary after being held captive % days
The possible connection between Dill
niger gaagsters and the Bremen kid
mapping was not explained.
Four machine guns. three automatic
rifles, one shotgun, a miniature ma
chine gun fashioned from .38 calibre
navy special Ga pistol, and a large
quantity of ammunition were found in
st. Paul Apartment and Mime
apolis hideout occupied by Green and
the woman.
When the woman was arrested she
carried $1,155. mostly in $50 and S1OO
bank notes. This led to questioning
concerning recent bank robberies at
Sioux Falls. S. D., and Mason City
Iowa.
Outlaw Is Identified.
Dillinger himself, it was definitely
established. was the man who un-
limbered the machine gun on two
Federal operatives and city detective
last week when Dillinger, Green and
woman escaped a police trap.
The woman now held is believed to
be the one who fed with Dillinger

avenue apartment building at that

viously, represented himself as a soap

including power to the Trade Com
mission to supervise membership of
the exchanges and treatment of pro-
ceeds from the sale Of seats as "a
trust fund for the public benefit in
stead of sinecure for the members +"
He also proposed power to regulate
commissions to brokers. and macflin-
cry to enable holders of securities to
communicate with each other.
In connection with this last recon-
mendation. he said the firm Of Lee,
Higginson and Co. Of Boston, and its
issuing houses were responsible for
the preparation of colossal swindles
on the security holders" of Kruger
and Toll and International Match Co.
Firm Regarded Negligent.
Untermyer explained to the COM
mittee that he considered the firm
had been negligent. He offered this
comment in the nature of a modifi-
cation Of the broader charge.
The issuing houses connected with
that firm, he said, were able to cor
raj the bulk of these bonds almost to
the exclusion of the committees or
ganized to protect the holders, be-
cause Of the inability of the protec-
tive committees to ascertain the
names and addresses of the security
holders whilst the inner circle had

The Kusko times., 1934-11-10

There is widespread misunder- standing of the emergency work be- ing carried on by the federal govern ment.
 As result of the local welfare services, such as, hospitals, nursing organizations. child and family-care institutions, are suffering seriously. They haven't the funds to do their work.
 People think that the federal gov ernment has assumed this burden, but that is not the case. The fed eral government, cooperating with the state governments, has under taken to see that nobody starves. and that nobody is without shelter or clothing, during this depression. But .2Ee s st'll left a tremendous task 4or the welfare agencies.
 Hospitals, orphanages, homes for the aged and similar institutions are
 i'll dependent upon gifts from those citizens able and willing to give. The national emergency already has taxed them beyond their resources. Since the depression began the privately supported nursing units, for example, have had to increase their services by 21 per cent, while sha free government nursing service has not been increased. Free ser vices in privately supported hospi- tals has been increased 46 per cent ss against 19 per cent in government hospitals.
 The government is doing a lot, more than it ever has done before, cut it is leaving lot for private citizens to do. Now, as never before, the welfare agencies need the sup port of every person able to help.

 MENTAL PROBLEMS

In days when unbalanced bud- gets threaten to urbalance minds, the proposed public course in mental hygiene at the University of Wash ington should prove highly popular. The suggestion of such a public course along this line has come from Dr. Grover A. Kempf of the United States public health service.
 He pointed out that one in every twenty-two persons is hospitalized at one time or another for nervous disorders.
 If such course could effectively answer some of the disturbing ques- tlons of the day, 1t would curb many threatened cases Of nervous mala- dies:
 Why do motorists wait until they are almost upon you before honk- ing?
 Why do dollars soar upward abroad and downward at home? . How can you accomplish the more abundant life" by destroying livestock and crops and by raising prices?
 How can taxes be reduced by greater spending?
 And where do we go from here?

NATURES REMEDY

Down the ages old wives, and primitive mediciae-nen seem to have advanced remedies for nearly every human affliction. The fast that some of the. treatments today command rational scientific explana- tion is evidence that earlier faith in herbs and poultiees, hot applications and concotions to drink, sometimes sprang from demonstrated efficacy In other instances, of course, the prescriptions represented so much mumbo- jumbo. The patient survived if he did survive, in spite of what was done to him.
 There appears to have been one natural remedy available from the earliest times which the empirics overlooked, or, if they discovered it, left in relative obscurity. This k the circumstances, only recently put forward as a fact, that human milk will induce rapid eoagulation of hu- man blood. ~
 A physician who describes the phenomenon in Vienna medical publication says he ran acros, it by chance, cannot account for it, but has used mothers milk successfully to stop bleeding after dental opera tions. Assuming the writer's good faith and accuracy, this is curious omission from the primitive pharm- acopoeia.

 Si-teen years ago This November 11th ended the wofy5 warfare be- tween men since the begiaung of history.
 The great conflict, vain of purpose and horrible in effect. cost tht lives of n,llions,men, women and children. Beside the loss of life and millions mai led, untold want and misery followed as direct result.
 Sixteen years is not long span il tl.e life of man, yet long enough to d.m the memory of. those 1914- 1918 horrors. We remember the parades and gay music as the boys marched away but unless directly effec,ed we do mot remember the thousands of them who never came back. We remember to place wreaths and build monuments but how many of us remember that their lives were given in vain.
 The daily papersx.carry headlines of war preparations, international jealousies, revolutions and what not political hub-bub. Nations accuse enc another of espioage, of war pre- paradness, etc, etc. All of which in- dlcates just how much the 'war to end wars" taught us.
 The economic cost 7of the war was tremendous and the world has not yet recovered from it. Still we con- tinue to enlarge our navies and in- crease our armies. Preparedness is supposed to be an insurance against war but on the other hand it be- tokens madness. when we think of the powers of the world as feyerishly preparing for war to prevent war.
 How much of the misery and want coud be relieved and how many Of the schools would need to remain. closed if even small part of the money now spent on armaments could be directed for more humane purposes.
 On this November II let us re- member our fallen heroes but let US also remember the lesson their vain death has taught.

 Just q few lines this evening be- fore hitting the hay, you would pro- bably be iiites4sted : to. know that there is quite good sized town here on Bear Creek also that many of the men working on and about the dredge have their families here and some of them stay all winter.
 The dredge is a deisel electric powered. The town is equipped with electro lights. I had thought the dredges up home we're big but any one of them would st nicely on the decks of the Bear Creek Boat.

TERRORIZED BY TIGERS

Man-eatlng tigers are becoming 50
bold In central India that they are
causing a reign OF terror among the
residents OF villages. The tigers are
reported to be stalking the country,
leaving death and terror In their
wake. Scores OF cattle have been
dragged into the jungle and eaten.
The villagers are helpless In dealing
with the menace because they are
forbidden to kin tigers. and many
fear TO sleep at night because OF the
possibility of sudden raids by the
beasts. One large tiger got a big
surprise. He sprang on a COW in
herd grazing at the foot OF the Panch
Deoli hills, but the other cattle
turned on the invader and attacked
him with their horns After a bitter
battle the badly wounded tiger made
