LUMBER sH1PMaNs qNoREACE

A decided increase in March,
when compared with a year ago,
in the movement of forest product
along the lines of the Northern
Pacific Railway, which serves the
large milling plants of the North
west, indicates, according to
freight traffic officers of that rail
road, that retailers are preparing
for sizeable increase in building
repairs and construction. The
shipments consist of rough and
finished lumber, shingles and 9TH
er forest products, and are con-
signed to retailers not only in the
Northwest, but throughout the
country Local and federal gov
eminent activities, delayed repairs
and rebuilding are held to be re-
sponsible for this enlarged lumber
distribution.

CANCSTERS MAIS AND LECENZA TO
 DIE SATURDAY
They Are Praying for the Break They Never Gave
 to Any Victim

Richmond, Va. Feb 1-O.P)- Two gangster killers who never were known to give anyone "a break", prayed fervently to-day that providence. would give them just what they had denied others. They will be executed tomorrow in the electric chair for the mur- der of a mail truck driver in a hold-up. Former associates of Robert Mais and Walter Legenza. leaders of the now defunct tri- state gang of killers, kidnapers, and bandits, hardly would recog- nize them in state prison death cells to-day.
 Through the bars drifted muin- bled prayers and untrained and quavering voices singing "When the Trumpet of the Lord Shall Sound" They were assisted by two religious advisors. Mais spent most of his time on his knees. Le- genza couldn't kneel because both his legs were broken in December. He will be carried to the electric chair. The plaster casts were chip ped off yesterday for the cleo trodes. All hope for reprieves had departed. Governor George Peery refused to intervene.
 Mais and Legenza, in the death- house last fall awaiting execution for the murder of Ewell M. Hu- band, mail truck driver, shot their way to freedom. killing Police man w. A. Foot. Going to Phila- dclphia they revived the Tri-State gang, staged holdups and at least one Kidnapping in which the vic- tim, Big Bilr' Weiss was murder ed. They were captured in New York several weeks ago.

 Neu. a handsome man of 28, had invented a special dance which he christened the "Gallows' Strut" which, if he is permitted, he will perform for the states witnesses while on the trap. He also enliv- ened his days while awaiting exe- cution by composing songs com plete with music, and 'wise-crack- ing" with all who would listen to him.
 Hargsman Meyer, gnome like ancient, who reckons he's been breaking necks in Orleans Parish for more years than he can re- member, had everything in read mess. He grcased his rope and put it up yesterday. When he visited Neu in his cell the first time several days ago he sat for hours on a high stool, staring at the con demned man.

One Officer Was Killed But the Children Were All
 Unn1OleSed

Hong Kong, Feb 1.-(UP)-- Chinese pirates raided the steanl- ship Tungckoa, reported carrying 70 to 70 British and American school children, killed aship's of- ficer and abandoned her to-day fin Bias bay after warships were dispatched to the scene. The at- tack and the eventual discovery of the missing steamship was In region infested by pirates who frequently captured passenger steamers and often have held rich passengers or officials for ransom. The Tungchok, however, was found by searching vessels before any harm had come to the children, most of them British, who were returning from holiday visit to Shanghai. Two members of the crew were wounded. Both were Russian guards on the ship. The officer killed was the engineer.
 The Tungchow left Shanghai on January 29 at 10 a. m. The chill dren--believed to number nearer 40 than 70-had been on holiday trip and were in gay spirits when they left Shanghai. When the vessel failed to reach its destina- tion on schedule, anxiety was felt for the children and, after A hours in which the Tungchow could not be reached by radio, v fleet of 13 warships was sent out by British officials. In addition, British seaplanes searched up and down the coast. The vessel was finally found in Bias bay, q region not far north of Hongkong and which is notorious as q pirate nest. All of the children were safe.

COLORADO RIVER HARNESSED FOR
 THE FIRST TIME
Greatest Project to Be Conceived By Man Has
 Been Fully Exploited


 Boulder City, Nev, Feb 1. (UP) -The Colorado river felt the re- straining hand of man to-day for the first time since nature traced it's course through canyons and gorges across the continental divide. By the comparatively sim pie process of closing the flood gates of diversion tunnel No. 2, en- gineers started the waters backing up behind Boulder Dam. There was no ceremony. Nevertheless, 1t cli- maxed reconstruction operations on the $49,000,000 project which ranks as the greatest engineering feat yet conceived. The tunnel had been used to carry the waters of Colorado past the dam site.
 With It's stoppage, flood control became an actuality for California's $ latently fertile Imperial valley. The dam will restrain flood waters from heavy rains and snows and later dole them out as moisture for val ley farms and drink for Los An geles citizens. Thousand of acres of Arizona desert lands also will be reclaimed.
 Other river diversion tunnels yet have to be finished before the dam becomes an engineering entity but the work, in progress for nearly three years. is more than 95 per cent completed. t
 By next fall the lake formed by the dam will have attained q suf- ficient level to start the generation of electric power. The lake. like the dam, will be the largest man. made lake in the world. containing when full, 30,0O0,O00 acre feet or enough water to cover the entire state of Connecticut to depth of 10 feet. To-day's formality started the waters backing into Black Can- yon which will form only part of the lake bed.

GREEN OPPOSES
 THE AUTO CODE

Washington. Feb 1.--UP)-- President William Green of the American Federation of Labor to- day asserted that organized labor would not accept or "recognize'' the renewed automobile code.
 Green assailed the renewed code when he resumed testimony on the 30-hour week bill before a senate judiciary, subcommittee.
 The code was extended last night through June 16 with qualifications which the administration claimed would promote employment.
 We protest against this code" |" Green said. we will not accept it, recognize 1t or yield to it,
 Green said the code would not increase employment. He asserted that under 1t employees could be worked as long hours as the em- ployers desired. The revised code provides for. payment of time and one-haif for hours In excess of 4S per week.

 NEW DEAL PLANS

New York, Feb. - (UP) - Henry F. Fletcher, chairman of the republican national committee attacked the New Deals $4.SS0,- 100000 relief program and Presi- dent Roosevelt in a speech last night.
 He described the appropriation measure now before congress as probably the most astounding single piece of legislation in the annals Of American history" He charged that terms of the appro- priation ran contrary tQ the dee cision of the U. $. supreme court, which held a section of the na- tional industrial recovery act un- constitutional.

RUSSIA HAS NOT
 YET SQUARED UP

Washington, Feb. x (UP) - Administration officials awoke to- day to the realization that in dip lomatic relations with Soviet Russia they. figuratively, had a bear by the tail, with little In prospect except q good run around. Hopes for an early settlement or the long pending debts and claims issue with Russia were dashed by sudden collapse of negotiations last night. With this collapse the bubble of lucrative trade with Soviet Russia also burst. Both the American government and private industry had counted heavily on expansion of trade with the So- viets to hasten economic recovery. The stumbling block in the way of realization of. these expecta- tions, it was understood, was the insistence of the Soviet govern ment upon a large cash loan from the American government. The negotiations collapsed at five- minute conference between Secre- tary of State Cordeli Hull and the Soviet Ambassador, Alexander Troyan0ysky.
