WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE
conservative Democratic rebellion
against President Roosevelt is fad
ing, in the opinion of Postmaster
General James A. Farley, who
brought to the Capitol from his cross
country journey a prediction that
all 48 states would send Roosevelt
delegations to next years Democra-
tic national convention.
Farley included in his claim the
state of Georgia where Governor
Eugene Talmadge is telling the peo-
pie that the new deal' is Com
munistic.
How about louisiana" he was
asked.
Farley refused to comment on the
political significance of the assas-
sination of Sen. Huey P. Long. But
he stood fast in his claim that LOU
isiana, too. would cast its votes for
Roosevelt in the June convention.
II never thought there would be
a substantial third party move
ment." was Farley's counter to all
inquiries about conservative rumb-
lings.
But we are going to have in 1896
another sweep like 1882" the Demo-
cratic chairman insisted.
What do you honestly think?' a
skeptical reporter asked.
Il honestly think Roosevelt Will
carry Massachusetts,, Rhode Island
and Pennsylvania" Farley replied.
HE is stronger right now in Kan
sas than he was in 1882. 1 think he
could beat Governor Landon, Sena-
tor Borah or anyone else out there.

 U. s. Steel ran up more than a point. Bethlehem equaled its high while National and Otis made new highs. In the copper section Ana conda made a new high for the year and Kennecott equaled its high. Douglas approached its high for the year while Boeing made a new top in the aviation group.

 Phillips Petroleum on one- point gain made a. new high. Gains of a point oq more were made. by American Can, Allied Chemical Electric Auto-Lite, Montgomery Ward, Sears-Roebuck, and. Gillette

 Few utilities failed to show gains. Consolidated Gas was one and its loss was small. Columbia Gas, National Power < Light and North American gained point.

EXTRA SESSION
 TALK REVIVED
Hard Pressed Cities Join ClamOr to Call in
 Legislature

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 26-(UP) Lack of organization in the house was regarded today as the only stumbling block in summon ing a special session of the legisla- ture to pull the states SIS, 3,000,000 federal aid construction program and welfare relief plan out of the fire. Nearly dozen demands have been made upon the governor to call an extraordinary session. Un- less application is made to the PWA for assistance in its building program within five weks, the state has been warned no money will be forthcoming. Municipalities, hard pressed to meet relief burdens, have joined the clamol for a spe- cial session and enactment of a sales tax-municipal relief bill, thrice rejected at the last session.
 Hedging the large membership in the house to definite and lim- ited program was regarded as an impossibility. Senate organization could more easily be accomplished. The governor has made 1t clear he would not reconvene the session unless both houses were in accord on an emergency program. The executive committee of the social ist party approved q petition for summoning an extra session Sum- day at Waterbury, declaring many communities unable to further stand up under relief loads.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 26-(UP) - Police today arrested the arsonist who attempted to fire Denver's largest buildings at times when they were most crowded. Endan- gering hundreds of lives. He was a meek 17 year old youth who ex- plained that he "got big kick from setting fires.
 Gee, I didn't intend any harm, " said Warren Cramer. T was just having fun" Last Monday Warren arrived in Denver from his home in Oakland, Cal, where his father is physician. Thursday he said he felt a desire to see 0 fire. He set fire to the Catholic Cathedral. He was disappointed when firemen ex- tinguished 1t promptly and set fire to two more Catholic churches.
 "The next day." he told police, Il thought maybe I could start a real fire" He fired large depart ment store crowded with patrons.

 Not Very Fast Game
 The first set was productive of shoddy tennis, with only Van Ryn and Budge approximated their true games.
 The veterans got the first break when they broke Budge in the third game, but Allison double faulted to lose his delivery in the fourth. Van Ryn hit a hot streak in the fifth game to slice home to backhand placements to break Mako for a az lead.
 The youngsters fought brilliantly in the final game, with Budge beat ing off two set points with down. the-middle drives for placements Mako spoiled the fight, however with two successive easy outs.
 Allison and Van Ryn won the second set, 6-2.

All the blazes were extinguished with little damage, but the persis- tence of the fire bug panicked Den- yer. Citizens flooded police with tips. Bremen raced incessently to false alarms turned in by the ner- vouse citizenry. Police deployed everywhere, but the arsonist easily evaded them. Last night myster- ious feminine voice informed police by telephone that the arsonist was on his way to a beer parlor. Police nabbed Cramer who paled and be- gan trembling.
 You've set 24 fires in four days" police accused him.
 "No, no," he said. i've set 21."
 Police and Cramer checked lists. He denied responsibility for a fire in a Catholic school Saturday. and in an office building and flour mill yesterday. Those fires must have been started by one of my cheap imitators," he said. Cramer's technique was this. He entered a building carrying a magazine. First being sure he was unobserved, he tore out a few pages. threw them in corner where there was a draft, and ignited them with match. He had a bicycle outside for escape.
 "1 can't resist starting fires" he said. T don't know why do 1t. l have been doing it all my life.'. He told police he had been in jail in Los Angeles for Arson.
