BABY DERBY MOTHER HINTS
MOVE TO TIE UP S75O,OOO

TORONTO. Ont, Oct. %
ON.S0.-Mrs. Grace Bagnato,
contender in the Millar stork
derby, threatened today to tie up
the $4,000 prize with injunc.
tions.
This action was planned after
Mrs. Bagnato's counsel discovered
that the birth of two of her chill
dren had not been registered as
required under the terms of the
will Of Charles Vance Millar,
Toronto lawyer. She claims to
have given birth to nine children
in the last decade, and expects
another before the end of the race
on October 81.
Tie for First Place
This would give her 10 "eli-
gibleS" and, she believes, a tie
for first place. Millar left the
residue of his estate to the Toronto
mother who gave birth to the
greatest number of children in the
10 years following his death. Mrs.
Bagnato'S counsel has discovered
that births in 1929 and 1881 had
not been registered.
II wouldn't take the S75O,OOO
il I were named the winner to-
morrow. That's too much money
for any family"
This is the emphatic declara-
ton of Mrs. Annie Smith, To-
ronto mother who today made
dramatic last-minute entry into
the Millar stork derby.
With nine children born and
registered in this city within the
last 10 years, Mrs. Smith is re-
garded as a real contender. Her
claim of nine eligibles cannot be
challenged. All the mothers claim
ing more than nine have been
challenged, either on the claim
that some Of their children under
ten years of age were born outside
of Toronto, or because the births
Of some have never been regis
tered.
Among Leaders
Therefore Mrs. Smith will prob
ably rank in the first flight in
six-way tie for the maternity
sweepstakes prize provided for in
the strange will left by Charles
Vance Millar. Six of the nine
Smith children are living.
The father, Alfred Smith, fire
man, said:
"There'S enough money for
the first 10 families. If we should
happen to win it all, we will di-
vide it up among the leading
contestants in any event. If we
should win and get $4,000 out
Of it, we would be more than
satisfied
It wasn't merely a shrinking
from publicity that kept the
Smiths and their six living chill

they show the least interest in

planned:

1t was only when this cores
pondent learned of their chances
and called at their home that
they notified the Charles Vance
Millar executors.
With a nonchalance that did
not appear at all assumed, Mrs.
Smith said:

Farm Outlook.
Illinois is another State which now
looks as though it will prevent a sec
ond Democratic landslide. Governor
Landon and Colonel Knox are men
toned most often here as the prob
able Republican nominee. Seldom do
we hear anything favorable about
Senator Borah as a Republican posi-
sibility. AS to the farm situation in
the Middle West: Plenty of moisture
both from the winter SHOWS and
spring rains in all but few drought
sections now indicates good crops this
year. Farmers are planting more acre
age than a year ago and it looks now
like lower prices for corn, oats, wheat
and other grains this year compared
with last.
Better crops, however, should put
farm income above last years total. I
have heard little hue and cry about
the AAA overthrow. Most people feel
that the farmers should be paid ac-
cording to their contracts. Everybody
seems to be up in the air about the
new farm program Wnlcn is mas
querading under the guise of soil con-
servation. Dairymen feel better than
they did three years back; but the
growing conditions now indicated pro-
badly mean no improvement in milk
and butter prices.

Rescusers Resume
Efforts to Save
Dog From CreUice
Dynaniting Halted and
ChiseI. Used After 2
Weeks Struggle.
By the Associated Press.


LANDISBURG, Pa, February L.
Rescue workers, confident they may
still succeed, renewed their efforts to-
day To free Roy Dewalt's hunting dog
from a rock crevice In the Tuscarora
Mountains where 1t has been more
than two weeks.
Their work was resumed yesterday
after temporary delay caused by fear
the workers themselves might be
trapped. Successive dynamite blasts
had weakened an overhanging ledge
that threatened to fall upon the men
Dewalts opinion it was still pos
sible to get his fox terrier out, however,
sent the workers back to the Job.
The dog was caught after chasing
q fox into the crevice in this remote
section of Perry County. The fox
managed to slip out the other side,
where Dewalt shot it, but the terrier
could not get through.
Dewalt has fed the animal every
other day by pushing food into the
crevice on a pole.
I'VE hope to get him out" he said
last night. Hes In fine shape"
The rescuers planned to continue
chiseling at the rear wall Of q cave
that separates them from the dog.

'O'HARA INCIDENT.

Senator Suggests Need of
Purging White House
Social List.

The incident Of Elmer b. O,Eara,
Democratic State chairman Of Mich
igan, who couldn't attend a White
House reception and dinner last night
because ne was on trial on charges Of
vote stealing. prompted Senator Hast
ings, chairman of the Republican Sen
atorial Campaign Committee, to de-
clare today that the case suggests the
need of an auxiliary to the White
House social department. charged
with eliminating all New Dealers who
have been convicted"
Once before, the Senator said, "the
President found 1t necessary to purge
the social list Of the swarms Of lobby
lists, although I notice some Of them
have gotten back on, If they were ever
taken off,"
The Senator thought 1t noteworthy
that Postmaster General Farley was
O'Hara's sponsor, and that. although
convicted several months ago on
charges of bribery, aside from his
present predicament, OHara still is
the Democratic State chairman, and
Horatio S. Abbott, who was dismissed
as collector of the port at Detroit by
Secretary Morgenthau many months
ago, still Is the national committee
man."
The informal explanation at the
White House was that several rnenths
ago 1t was directed that all State
chairmen be invited to the receptions
and that the list came from the
proper source" This source was Far

Prof, Page said the new theory, at
