TROOPS ASKED
|NALEXAND!R|A

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. Z.
Declaration of martial law in
Alexandria for the duration OF
the shirt factory strike was re-
quested of Gov. George c. Peery,
several days ago, it was learned
here today.
The Governor revealed that his
secretary had received a telephone
call from Alexandria last week
while he was out of town, but
said he did not know whether
it was the strikers or the opera
tors of the Century Manufactur.
ing Company who made the re-
quest.
Although the secretary informed
the caller where he could reach
the Governor, the executive has
not been officially approached on
calling out the militia. He said,
however, that the State law would
require him to consult with city
officials before issuing such an
order.

Girls Mother Cheers
Her, Waiting For
Rescue Party

YOSEMITE, Cal, Aug. z GIN.
S).-Twelve forest rangers, after
a hazardous all-night trip to the
top of Half Dome, were ready this
morning to attempt to rescue a
man and woman trapped on a
tiny ledge one-third of the way
from the top Of the 2,500foot
dome.
Ropes will be used to rescue the
pair, identified as Elizabeth Lori
mer, %, of Chicopee, Mass, and
Robert Pate, IS, of Inglewood,
Cal.
5O0-FOOt Fall Feared
The two hikers are in danger
of falling a sheer 500 feet if they
make q miSstep.
'sIt will be difficult to rescue
them, but if they are able to
help themselves, we will get
them out safely"
This was the opinion expressed
by rangers as they prepared to
make the dangerous descent by
ropes to the ledge.
Watching the rescue attempt
was the girls mother, who stood
vigil during the night, shouting
words of encouragement with a
megaphone.
Straight Up and Down
Half Dome, one of the wonders
of nature" is sheer mountain of
solid granite. One side of the cliff
is straight up and down.
A dangerous situation became
apparent with daylight when it
was discovered the man and
woman had become separated and
were about 100 yards apart.
The ledge they are on is narrow
and precarious. Their separation
will make rescue more difficult.
Afraid to Hurry Them
Rangers were attempting to get
Pate and Miss Lorimer back to-
gether again, but were afraid to
hurry them for fear either might
stumble and plunge down the side
of the cliff.
Another dangerous factor that
may make the rescue more difficult

Lobby Probers Stirred
As Former War Chief
Gives testimony
international News Service

IVA
Patrick j Hurley, Secretary Of
War under President Hoover, to-
day revealed in a tempestuous
argument with members of the
Senate Lobby Committee, that he
has received a total of at least
$4,000 from the Associated Gas
and Electric Company - $50, 900
for his work in connection with
the Senate'S banking inveStiga-
ton in 1888 and $25, 1000 this year.
The information was not di-
vulged until our Mr.. Hurley and
the committee plunged into a
furious exchange.
Charges "Unfairness"
Once Mr.. Hurley, who protested
against committee "unfairneSs, !"
stood up-and was Immediately
told by the committee chairman,
Senator Black (D.) Of Alabama, to
sit down.
The verbal scrapping started
almost as soon as Mr.. Hurley sat
down.
He sought to read into the rec
ord what he termed a fair and
true" recital of his relations with
the big utility interest. The $685.
900 Mr.. Hurley'S law firm here
got from the A. G. E. this year
came out of the $805,000 war
chest the concern threw into its
fight against the pending utility
bill.
Mr.. Blacks fist crashed on the
walnut desk as he said:
''Mr. Hurley, we are not going
to have that. Please answer the
question. We want no more of
this. Please sit down."
HURLEY APOLOGIES
Mr.. Hurley slowly took his seat,
asking the Committees pardon
for rising in his anger-but still
trembling. Mr.. Black pursued:
"NOw, how much was your
fee?"
"At that time, in 1888, my fee
was $5O,OOO."
Senator Schwellenbach (D0 of
Washington asked:
did you tell the committee
at that time that your fee was
$5O,OOO?"
"T represented the investors in
the Associated Gas and Electric
Company. I did not represent
Mr.. HI. C. HOpsOn, which seems
to be the impression that has
gotten around"
But did you tell the commit
tee then that your fee was $780,.

The election of Charles F. Risk,

HELD REASSUR|NG
DR.. Murchison Sees Pros.
perity in Import-Ex-
port Balance.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHARLESTON, S. c., September
l9-The recent trend toward a bal
ance in the Nations exports and i'm
ports was termed "reassuring' last
night by DR.. Claudius T. Murchison,
director of the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce.
I'VE are already a creditor Nation
to the extent of $4,000, ,000, ,000." the
Washington official said in an address
prepared for delivery to the Propeller
Club. "On this huge amount we natu-
rally expect payment of interest and
amortization Of principal. At the
same time we expect payment for cur
rent commodity exports.
Conditions Of Prosperity.
Leaving the matters of gold ac-
emulation and foreign loans for fu-
ture determination, it seems safe to
say that the nearer We approach q
settlement of our international bal
ances by proper balancing of exports
and imports, the greater will be our
prosperity and our economic stability"
In an interview with the Charleston
Evening Post, DR.. Murchison said he
saw mo reason why we should not
get back to the 1929 level in another
- months"
Predicting to the Posts reporter
that eventually we will surpass" the
1929 economic level, DR.. Murchison
added:
1T takes time for everything in a
tremendous economic system to func-
tion: but now conditions are rapidly
and definitely swinging up. We hope
they will not stop"
Exports Take Lead.
In his prepared address, DR.. Muir
Gibson said that imports into the
United States in the first seven
months of 1885 showed 81 per cent
increase over the same period of 1894,
and were s25, 100000 lass than our ex-
ports, although in the first seven
months of 1884 imports were $207,-
100000 less than exports.
He praised the administrations in
sistence upon the most-favored-na-
tion clause in the reciprocal trade
program. asserting that the bi-lateral
form of treaty 'is apparently coming
to the end Of its popularity" He con-
tended this Nations policy without
taking from other countries by dis
criminatory and restrictive devices a
trade which they already have, aims
to enlarge their trade. and in that
manner consolidate and establish the
advantages which we ourselves re-
alize."
