RESTORATION
BLOC SEES
DEFEAT
Vote Expected This Evening
After 31z Hours Debate
on Offices Bill

Led by Representative Everett
N. Dirksen (R) Of Illinois, Con-
Rressmeu favoring full restoration
Of the Federal pay cut took up
their fight again today as the
House began its second days de-
liberation on the Independent o.
AceS supply bill.
Despite belief Of Speaker Henry
+. Rainey that the bill will not
be voted on today, many Con-
gressmen expressed opinion 1t
would reach a final vote about s
o'clock. General debate will be
limited to three and one-haf
hours.
Admit Fight Is Lost
Republicans freely admitted
earlier in the day chances Of re-
storing more than 5 per cent OF
Federal salaries are exactly zero,
in view Of yesterdays test vote.
Still hopeful Of aiding Federal
employees, however, Dirksen in a
brief address branded the Labor
Departments survey Of living
costs as containing "a lot Of
hooey and balderdash."
National Lottery Proposed
He further declared:
"'Why tell Federal employees
to buy now when they haven't
the wherewithal to buy even
the necessities Of life?"
A sidelight Of the early after
moons debate was q spirited
proposal by Representative Ed
ward A. Kenney, CD Of New
Jersey, to adopt a national lot
terry to balance the budget and
provide for additional veterans
relief.
Meanwhile, Government en-
ployes defeated for the moment
in the House, laid plans to carry
their battle for pay cut reStora-
tion to the Senate, confident that
II they can bring the question d.
rectly to either body Of Congress
they will be successful.
The close vote on the rule which
bars further amendment 50 far
as the House is concerned, and
thereby prevents any separate vote
on the pay cut question, has en-.
0ouraged leaders of the Govern
ment workers. To lose by the
narrow margin of five votes, 1877
to 1872, was disappointing in way
but encouraging in another, since
1t showed, in spite of every. influ-
ence that could be brought to
bear against restoring pay, ire

Luther C. Steward, president Of

FORD THREAT
FORCED BANK
HOLIDAY
EdseI Tells of Fathers Wrath
at Mills Demand on Him
for More Millions
picture on Page 81
BY International News Service

Henry Ford's threat to wreck the
First National Bank of Detroit by
withdrawing 25,OO0,O0O resulted
in the Michigan banking holiday,
Ford'S son, Edsel, told the Senate
Banking Committee today.
The threat was a result of the
elder Ford becoming quite in
cenSed" at proposals made by Sec
retary of the Treasury Ogden
Mills, Undersecretary A. A. Ballan-
tyne and other Government Off
cials.
Sought r. F. C. Loan
Edsel Ford, who constantly re-
ferred to his father as "Mr. Henry
Ford" told of two important meet
ings with high officials of the
Hoover Administration while a
huge FL F.C. loan was being des-
peratelS sought in February, 1885,
for the Guardian Detroit banking
group, oS which he was a director
and intoA which he had put IL
million dollars in cash by the end
of 1892.
Ford said he first met Secre-
tary Mills in his office in the
Treasury building, together with
Ballantyne, Chairman Miller of
the RFC, and other officials. He
said they told him the RFC was
unwilling to loan the amount re-
quired to thaw out assets of the
Guardian Detroit Bank unless an
additional $4,000, 900 or $1,000, 900
was put up by somebody.
He said Mills then described
Detroit, Cleveland, Minneapolis,
and New Orleans as the chief
banking sore spots" at that
time in the country.
He said Mills suggested that
the Ford Company, which had
$7,500,000 on deposit at the
Union Guardian Trust Company
should subordinate that deposit
and agree to leave it in the
bank throughout any run which
might be made by other de.
poSitors
Would Satisfy RFC
This would have satisfied the
RIGS demand for $7,00O,00O ad-
ditional capital to guarantee a
loan. Ford said he told the
officials he could not give them
a definite answer, and they ar
ranged to get their definite
answer from "Mr. Henry Ford"
on Monday, February 13, in a
conference at the Ford factory
in Dearborn.
He said Ballantyne and Roy
D. Chaplin, then secretary of
Commerce, called on his father
and himself and urged very
energetically" that they subordi-
nate the total of about $30,000,-
900 on deposit in various Guar
dian Detroit units to the interests
OF other depositorS, or else put
up new capital and take over all
the assets of the Detroit Guardian
group.
Elder Ford Angered
The upshot of all the proposals
and counter proposals for Ford to
put in additional huge sums of
money, the son stated, which al
ready had cost the Fords nearly
Is million dollars, caused "Mr.
Henry Ford to become quite in
censed."
EdSel said his father then re-
tracted a tentative agreement to
subordinate to the interests of
other depositors the $7,50O,O 900 the
Ford company had on deposit with
the Union Deposit Trust Com
pany.

Three Die in Electric Chair
For Killing Policeman

Jackson, 81, the second of the trio
to die, said "goodby" to one Of
the guards and sat in the chair
with a Bible as the attendants
strapped him. He was in the act
of speaking when the current was
turned on and an eerie scream
resounded throughout the death
chamber.
Rosary beads dangled from his
neck and he held a crucifiX in
his right hand. He was accom-
panied to the chair by Father j.
Nuttall, who yesterday baptised
him, and this morning admins
tered his first holy communion.
Holmes Chants SpiritualS
Ralph Holmes, 27, the last to
die, entered the death chamber
at 1923. He chanted negro
spirituals as he walked to the
chair, and continued singing even
after the death mask was placed
over his head. He removed his
own shoes and then sat holding
a Bible in his hand. A current
of 1900 volts tore through his
body at 1925 and was released
at 1927, shortly after which he
was pronounced dead.
All telephone lines leading to
the Jail were held open by order
of Thomas M. Rives, the super
intendent. He explained this
move was to make sure any last
minute reprieve would be received.
Jackson was visited last night
by his wife and two children.
Two hours before he was sched-
uled to die he told a Times re-
porter that bad company" was
the cause of his downfall.

Upton Sinclair's Victory

The most unexpected development of the political
campaign of 1884, far, is the nomination of Upton
Sinclair veteran Socialist leader the Democratic
candidate for governor of California. He the
nomination three prominent regular Democrats,
of whom the partys nominee for governor
in 1890.
Upton Sinclair has been an indefatigable worker
for the of Socialism for 80 years. having
been the Socialist candidate for Congress in New
Jersey far back 1906. He also the Socialist
partys candidate for Congress from California in
1920 for the United States Senate in 1922 and for
governor in 1925.
He is the founder of the Intercollegiate Socialist
Society," which has been actively devoted to the spread
of socialism in American colleges and universities,
and wherever else might disseminate its doctrines
With the nomination announced Sinclair stated
that he through theorizing and was ready
for action. He has planned his campaign to end
poverty want in California truly laudible plat
form regardless Of whether it be carried out
successfully not
How President Roosevelt views the nomination
of Sinclair by the Democrats has not been disclosed
this is written, but the situation which it has
created is most interesting, and will furnish the sub
ject for much speculation during the remainder Of
the campaign.
Sinclair will be opposed in the November cleo
ton by the present Republican governor, Frank F.
Merriam who succeeded to the office upon the death
of Governor Rolph few months ago.

Suspenders, Long I'm Hiding. Come to Light
Medicine Man a Pest

Among certain Indian tribes the traditional med
icine man not only fails to do his patients any good
but makes it difficult for white physicians to treat
them satisfactorily according to the director of
public health nursing among Wisconsin tribes.
Reports from nurses on duty among the Indians
Of that state indicate that the tribal medicine
still hold superstitious power their people and
are jealous of the white mans methods. AS result
the white doctors and nurses not called in many
cases until after the medicine man has done his
worst Under such circumstances the white doctor
is at serious disadvantage and the patient often
dies through lack of proper early treatment.
When this happens the native medicine man
points to the white physicians failure proof Of
own superiority. And it is sometimes difficult if
not impossible to convince the redskins that their
medicine man is wrong. In fact, it is not best to
criticize him much as that would stir up racial feel
ing and make matters worse.
The policy Of the white doctors and nurses is to
try to gradually win the Indians over from super
stition to scientific measures and in this steady pro-
gress is being made But the native medicine man
is still pest to be reckoned with, and long cam
paign OF education will be required to destroy his
influence among the more backward members Of the
tribes

Potatoes, Tomatoes Grow On
Same Plant

Plants bearing both tomatoes and
potatoes may be seen growing at
University Farm st. Paul, this
summer. Grating tomato plant
tops into potato root stocks did the
trick. This unusual horticultural
feat was carried out in spare time
by Fred Rohner, field and green
house foreman of the division of
horticulture.
Mr.. Rohner did the grating last
April, using the whip or tongue
grating method to join sections of
tomato plants to the stalks of po-
tato plants just emerging from the
greenhouse pots. One of the plants
dug up recently was well filled
with tomatoes above ground and
had fair-sized potato attached to
the roots.
Rohner's experiment has no
practical value, it is explained. The
union is purely mechanical one
and there can be no merging of
species. The tomato will remain
simply tomato and the potato only
a mere spud. AS a horticultural
curiosity, however, the experiment
is a real success.

Agricultural Notes
Frosted Sudan Should Dry Before
Feeding

rrOSU0u Suuxtu SHOULD DTy D0IOEc
Feeding
Early frosts havepartly killed
many fields of Sudan grass and sor-
gum, prompting farmers to impure
what they should do about feeding
the frosted plants to livestock. A
statement by the division of veter-
mary medicine and agricultural
biochemistry at University Farm,
st. Paul, says:
Feeding trials at the University
Farm tend to disprove the popular
impression that when Sudan grass
or sorgum are frosted they are al
ways more dangerous. If the plants
are allowed to stand until partly dry
there would be little danger in feed
ing them.
'AThe antidotes for cyanide
poisoning were first used in Europe
on small animals. We believe we
are the first to use antidoes for
cyanide poisoning on farm ami
mails, having begun the study of
their effects in the fall of 1882.
We have found that either sodium
thiosulfate or sodium nitrate is eff
fective in cattle; however, neither
is of much value for sheep or
swine.
"The administration of these anti
dotes is difficult; it should be done
only by a qualified veterinarian.
We have instructed the veterinar-
ians Of Minnesota in the proper do
sage and techniques.
These antidotes are valuable, but
it is not claimed that they will be
effective in all cases of poisoning
from forage plants Some animals
may be too far gone from the eff
fects of cyanide and some may not
have been poisoned with hydrocy-
anic acid.
Sudan or Sorghum Silage Safe
eff any farmer fears to use his
Sudan grass or sorghum as a fresh
feed or hay, he can make it into
silage which is safe. Pure Sudan
or sorghum silage, is too sour to
be eaten freely at first by animals,
so it should be mixed with other
forage in the silo."
