GANG PLOT

(ContInued from rage ~
Detroit yesterday afternoon, when
a well-dresSed man approached
and stood beside her. She went
on:
Gust as the light changed,
q big car stopped in front Of
us. A man swung out of the
front seat, pointed q gun at the
man standing beside me, and
ordered him to get into the car.
Then q woman stuck her head
out of the rear window and
said: Get that girl, she's seen
too much
"The man with the gun Or
dered me into the car"
Mrs. Talbot then related how
the woman blindfolded her with
a scarf while the gunman and
the man he had captured began
to talk. She said:
"The man with the gun &C
cused the man who had stood
beside me of getting cold feet
in that Stickup.' The other one
replied: Never mind the stick
up, we're going after Rowe.
I've got it all planned"
Once during her Imprisonment
in what appeared to be a com
fortably furnished house or apart
ment near Pontiac, she said, one
of the men, reading in a news
paper that the Tigers had wor
yesterdays game, exclaimed:
boy! Rowe won again. He's
a cinch for a lot of dough-"
The Schoolboy, himself, wher
informed of Mrs. Talbot'S story
was unconcerned. He grinned.
II don't think anybOdy's going
to try to kidnap me. I've never
received any threats either by
mail or phone. 1 don't think
I'm going to worry about it,"

PROGRESS|VES
TRAILING IN
WISCONSIN
Gov. Schmedeman, New Deal
Backer, Runs Far Ahead
In Primary Voting

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. 19
GN.SO.-With the new La Fol
lette Progressive party trailing,
the Democratic ticket, headed by
Gov. Alfred G. Schmedeman,
staunch supporter of the New
Deal, today was piling up the
heaviest vote in Wisconsin's four
party primary election.
In many sections Governor
Schmedeman polled more votes
in yesterdays primary than the
Republican and Progressive party
tickets combined.
In its first test Of the ballot
boxes the Progressive party,
headed by United States Senator
Robert M. La Toilette, trailed
both Republican and Democratic
parties in early returns.
Schmedeman Ahead
AS the tabulation progressed,
however, the Progressive party
was counting an increasing num-
Der of votes.
Governor Schmedeman polled
1000 votes. His Democratic op-
ponents, William B. Rubin and
Richard Lehman, got 11,151 and
1887, respectively.
Former Governor La Toilette
won 5000 votes for the. Progress
sive party nomination for gov
ernor. His opponent, Henry Mel
sci, won 1927 votes. Senator Rob-
ert La Toilette is unopposed.
Howard T. Greene, Waukesha
county dairyman, led former Gov.
Fred Zimmerman and James N.
Tittemore in the Republican con-
test for the governorship nomina-
ton. The vote in 947 precincts
gave Mr.. Greene 221 300 votes to
1904 for Mr.. Zimmerman and
1884 for Mr.. Tittemore.
A spirited battle was being
waged for the Democratic sena-
torial nomination to oppose Sena-
tor La Toilette and the unopposed
Republican candidate, John B.
Chapple, Ashland editor. In the
five-cornered race for the Demo
cratic nomination, former National
Committeeman John M. Callahan
led former Gov. Francis E. Nc
Govern, who deserted the G. o. P.
to support President Roosevelt and
the New Deal.
Race Is Close
Returns from 943 precincts gave
Mr.. Callahan 1918 votes; Mr..
MvGovern, 1852; Mrs. Gertrude
Bowler, of Sheboygan, 6,9O6: State
Senator William D. Carroll, 1913,
and Charles E, Hammersley, 9,876.
Governor Schmedeman, the first
Democratic governor to seek re-
election in Wisconsin since 1893,
was virtually assured of the nomi-
nation.
In the primary two years ago
Governor Schmedeman received
$4,000 votes and won the general
election with $4,000.

eating the exact point of the
fire-the writing room, foyer
and lounge"
This testimony directly con-
tradicted earlier statements Of
Acting Captain Warns, who had
testified lights were flashing all
over the board" Mr.. Hansen
said he had tested the alarm
system three times that night and
knew it was working properly.
Written Record
Another important witness to-
day was William w. Trip, of
Dorchester, Mass, cadet engineer
aboard the MORO Castle. Mr..
Trip, who was on the telegraph
board in the engine room the
morning of the tragedy, pro-
duced the only written record
of the order from the bridge dur
ing the frenzied 20 minutes after
discovery of the fire.
The record was his "bell sheet"
He read it, disclosing that Cap
tain Warns had sent down nine
different orders on speed and
directions of the ship in the
brief period.
Mr.. Trip said he first received
an intimation of the fire at 2:55
a. m. At that time he said he
received a telephone call in the
engine room asking if there was
fire there.
He said he answered no; then
there came a series of telegraph
bells which he noted on the bell
sheet" He said he was in charge
of the starboard telegraphs at
that time.
Reads BELL Sheet
James Smith, member of the
board of inquiry, held up a sheet
of paper and asked:

Then, read the orders you

Mr.. Trip then began to read,
after explaining he had been alb

to $40 to run an errand for
the third engineer. He said:
"At 3 a. m. came the order,
Stand by on both engines
Then the orders came as fol-
lows:

Mr.. Trip said he left the en-
CINE room at about 1885 a. m.
when the smoke rolled in thick
like fog" He told how he and
a small group of the "black gang"
huddled under a ventilator and
cursed the smoke.
Mr.. Smith asked:
"Was there any criticism of
the chief engineer for not COM
ing down to his menu"
"NO sir, nobody was criticized.
The conversation didn't take
that trend. We were all talking
about the smoke"
The cadet engineer said they
escaped through the Shaft-alley
when they could ain no
longer.

News Service)
The American Federation of
Labor. militantly leaping into the
fall campaign, has demanded that
candidates for Congress promise
to support specific legislation, in,
cluding the 30.hour week and six.
hour day.
The action aroused consterna
ton today among both Demo.
cratic and Republican candidates,
including many who have had la
boris Endorsement for years.
Four Points in Program
"A pledge of support is de-
manded as the price of labor's aid.
The legislative program includes:
/. Extension of NRA, with
famous section IA, the labor
section.
2. Unemployment insurance
and similar legislation.
3. Measure similar to Wagner
connery act outlawing company
unions.
4. New program of public
works as a relief measure.
The attitude of the federation
was stated in letter and ques.
tionnaire sent to all candidates
for Senate and House by William
Green, its president.
The plan, q senatorial candi-
date said, is an abrupt change
Of policy by the labor body. In
the past its has supported or op-
posed candidates on their records
in this campaign it demands
promises in advance.
Questions Put FlatIy
The labor program Saes even
further than the New Dear' pro-
gram, although it includes fea-
lures which President Roosevelt is
expected to recommend to Con-
gresS.
Unless candidates respond favor
ably, Mr.. Green's letter said, they
will be listed as unfavorable to
labor. A simple 'yes" or mo"
anSwer-wtthout Qualifications
demanded.
The specific questions put to
the more than 1000 candidates
follow:
Will you vote for the extern
sion of the National Recovery
Act and retain therein Section
IA, providing for the right to
organize and b bargain collec-
lively; the prohibition of child
labor and the elimination Of
unfair trade practices?
Will you support social justice
legislation providing for old age
pensions, unemployment insur-
ance, work security and health
protection?
viii you vote for a measure
providing that all codes under
the National Recovery Act
should contain q 3O-hOur week
and six-hOur day?
SUPPORT WAGNER BILL
Will you support legislation
similar to the Wagner-Lewis bill
introduced in the last session Of
Congress providing for unem-
plOyment insurance?
Will you support legislation
similar to the Wagner COnnery
labor disputes bill with amend
ments drafted and supported
by the American Federation Of
Labor?
will you support legislation
providing adequate apprOpria-
tlOns necessary for a public
works program as a partial rem
edy for unemployment and for
relief Of dependent unemployed
workers and their families?
