LA CROSSE, Wis, Sept. 8
U.N.SO James H. Furber, 81, La
Crosse business man, had an even
chance for recovery today after
being shot by robber in a strange
attack.
Furber told police that he was
abducted by a thug who ap-
preached him as he stood beside
his car yesterday afternoon. The
thug, at pistol point, forced Fur,
Der to drive to a lonely spot Is
miles out of town.
At this point, Furber said, the
thug robbed him of 81 and or
dered Furber to get down on his
knees. The thug then said:
: sect down and start praying,
because I am going to shoot

WATER PLANT

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Sept. 9.
Declaring that a municipal plant
is the only solution to escape
excessive" rates being charged
by the Alexandria water Com
pany, Mayor e. c. Dawson last
night asked the city council to
meet in special session October
20 to take definite steps in the
matter.
Dawson appointed a committee
to obtain answers to three ques-
tions to be presented at the spe-
cial meeting:
First, whether the water COM
pany Is willing to sell its plant
to the city at q reasonable fig
ure; second, can 1t be secured
through condemnation, and third,
what would be the cost for q
detailed survey Of water posi-
bilities?
Chief among complaints against
the company is that its mains are
too small to provide adequate tire
protection. Fire Chief James M.
Duncan jr., City Manager E. C.
Dunn and fire insurance under
writer's have condemned the sys-
TEN.
A proposal made by the water
company which Mayor Dawson
said constituted q tribute" was
that the company would replace
small with 6-inch mains, take over
and maintain fire hydrants and
improve the system generally If
the city would obligate itself to
pay an annual rental Of nearly
10 per cent on the investment in

Thus far she's been identified

She may be Shirley King, of

When she was found Monday
night the girl told police she re-
called coming to New York from
Pennsylvania about two months
ago, and registered at tourist

Plains" over the weekend. In a
pocket was a slip of paper bear
ing the name Dorothy Miller.
Mrs. j. H. Cummings was the
first to identify her. She said
the girl boarded at her home for
a week under the name of Shirley
King. Mrs. Cummings lives in
Newark. Next Evansville police
reported they believed the girl
was Jean Lawrence.
Last night Donald s. Hays, a
former Evansville resident, now

Several years ago, the firm con.
Ceived the idea of renting bicycles
to students of Harvard University

popular fancy among the students
and spread.
Today, New England bicycle
manufacturers are working 24-hour

In 1884, more than 100000
'bikes" were sold. Last year, the
number was raised to TOO, 900. This

STENGLE BLOC
FACES NEW
ENEMY
BY ]. EARLE MOsER

Col. Charles I. Stengle's march
to the throne of the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes at the convention next
week will be far from an easy
tour, "last minute" reports reveal.
In addition to the opposition his
conservative hackers are facing
from John r. w. Smith, Of New
York, it was disclosed today that
a strong group of Western lodges
within the organization has spon-
sored DR.. Thomas E. Larkin for
the A. F. G.. E. presidency. He is
an economist for the Justice De-
partment at FL Reno. Okla.
And DR.. Larkin, according to
report, has every qualification to
make an excellent president if he
can garner sufficient votes when
the fighting begins at the Book
Cadillac Hotel next Monday i'll
Detroit.
The newest candidates support
ers, who number within their
ranks the recalcitrant veterans
Administration Lodge No. II,
point out that he has had wide
experience in the Government
service, is a World War veteran
and ais thoroughly acquainted
with the washington scene" hav-
ing been employed in the District
as a statistician for the Census
Bureau. He also was formerly an
economist for the National Med1-
alton Board.
His greatest strength, however,
lies in the fact that his recent
field work for Uncle Sam has
carried him out of the scope OF
the internal dissension and fac
tional strife that has agitated
the A. F.. G. E. Having no local
connections, his ascendancy to
the baton relinquished by E.
Claude Babcock would mean an
administration without influence
or partiality to either right or
left" within the union. This, his
hackers believe, will mean much
when the ballots fly.
Although Colonel Stengle's cam
paign managers claim, already,
more than half the votes of the
forthcoming convention, the strong
candidates thus far announced
promise a real fight. On the
forecast, Stengle will probably
win, but shift of the wind"
could cause quite an upset, an
upset in which push Of ex-
President Babcock's hand might
prove the controlling force.

Attendance figures and general information relevant to the "orien-- tation" courses being conducted at the Y. M. o. A. by seven members of tho WPA educational staff point to the fact that this new type oi summer school for grammar school graduates, now in It's third week of activity, is holding the interest Of all original applicants. PatricE Kelley, In charge of the summer project, stated this morning that there are now 475 local grammar school graduates registered, this to- tai including about 6 dozen addi. ditional students who have joined the group since the program started three weeks ago.
 Interest Keen
 The fact that the pupils are in. tensely interested in the five subjects taught was also brought out this morning in figures relating to ab- sentees, The average absentee list, for the three different groups Of approximately l60 children each. is only about fifteen per day. In view of the fact that this IS summer, and that children are prone to lose in- terest in matters that are related to school work during vacation time, this news IS rather startling.
