and as Joki went to the floor for the second time and started rough-housing him, shouting, stop fighting or I'll kill you!"
 Kepi Struggling
 They fought in the dark on the floor for what seemed hours to MT. Joki. Weakened by loss of blood he was keeping up his re- sistance only by a desperate ef- fort of the will, he says, when he finally managed to free himself and dash to the kitchen. There he seized a butcher knife and making no secret of the kind of weapon he had in his possession he started for his opponent.
 But the intruder had enough. AS Joki advanced with the butch CT knife in hand the intruder fled through the front door.
 Goes For Help
 As quickly as possible the bar Der made his way to the home of neighbors. From there a physi- clan was summoned. His examin ation disclosed that the intruder had used more than his fists in the fight. There were two cuts on Mir. Joki's head, one of them quite deep, which it is believed without question was made by a knife or some other weapon. The wounds were dressed at once. While they are painful and will require bandages for few days,

 A preliminary check indicated that if robbery was the purpose of the intruder his invasion had been in vain. Nothing seemed to be missing from the house.
 The marshaPs office entered the investigation the following morn ing. Chief Deputy Marshal John J. Buckley and Deputy Pat o. Connor talked with MT. Joki and looked over the house for clues.

ALASKA ESKIMO SAYS SHE
 DOES NOT LIKE U. S
(By The ASsoclated Press) DENVER-MrS. Maude Reiner

(By The Assoclated Press)
 DENVER-Mrs. Maude Reiner, g years old, of Nome, Alaska. expressed a great dislike here for jails and traffic in the United States.
 A native Alaskan, she is held as a witness against Henry Wag- ner, accused of violating the Mann Act by transporting her from Wallace, Idaho, to Tellu- ride, Colo.
 q tell you I do not like the United States of America," she told the newspapermen.
 "When this case is over I will go back to Nome," she added. For one reason they do not have traffic in Nome. Three years ago when first came to these United States at Seattle, l almost got myself killed a big number of times in traffic.
 "In Nome they treat automo- piles just like good horses.
 "When a man drives horse he does not run him all the time real fast right down the big street of the town. He does not make him step SO quick he shakes all over. He is gentle to his horse"

 Stepping through the doorway, he was instantly set upon by what appeared in the darkness to be a big, young man and who unquestionably was active and strong. The man lashed out and such was the force of the blow that MT. Joki was knocked to the floor.

E. c. MALLORY
SHOOTS HIMSELF
In HEADiTODAY
WOUND NOT CONSIDERED
VERY SERIOUS: BELIEVED
To HAVE BECOME DES-
PONDENT; IN HOSPITAL

E. C. MaEOry, well known ra-
dio repair expert in Key West,
this morning about 9 O'Clock, fir
ed a steel jacketed bullet from a
Colt 25 caiiber automatic into his
head while upstairs over his ra-
dio repair shop on SimOnton
street.
The bullet entered the region
of the right temple passed through
behind the forehead and lodged
on the left side near the left tenn
pc. The location OF the bullet Is
indicated by a bulge of the eft
side of the mead.
Mr.. Mallory was seated with his
son, Edmond, on the porch of the
building in which is his repair
shop and the cigar factory of Rex
Shaw. They were talking with
Mr.. Shaw. He got up and en-
tered the building.
Shortly afterwards there was
heard two shots coming from the
upper part of the building, went
upstairs and found the elder Nal
lory lying where he had fallen
and the automatic nearby.
The Lopez ambulance was sum-
mOned. The wounded man was
placed in it and rushed to the Ma
rine hospital where he was given
first aid by DR.. Carpinella in
charge of the outpatient ward.
The injury was not considered
dangerous, it was said.
Young Mr.. Mallory was asked
if he knew of any reason why his
father should attempt to take his
life, and replied that he had been
Respondent for long period and
the state of mind brought about
by this mood. of dependency was
probably the cause of the attempt
at self-destructiOn.
Before being removed to a To-
cal hospital, where he now is, Mr..
Mallory was asked by a friend
what were the two shots He re-
piled that he had first tried the
automatic to see if it was in work
ing order and then fired the 9th
er into his head.
At the hospital this afternoon,
2:15 O'Clock, the wounded man
was reported as suffering some in
the region of the throat. He told
an attendant he did not do as
good a job as he intended.
The information was given out
tomorrow to extract the bullet.

ECONOMIC HIGHLICHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual; Ma
tional and international Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

Most dread word in the Middle
Ages was "Plague! Today, in
some of our richest farming areas,
the word "Droughtv' IS equally
potent in inspiring fears.
There is no question but that
the last two great droughts-those
OF 1884 and 1936-have been
tremendously destructive. There
is atquestion as to whether they
were more destructive than PIE
viouS droughts. In other words,
nave modern methods of news
presentation tended to exagger-
ate drought conditions?
No conclus We answer can be
| given to that query, but there is
good grounds for believing that
recent droughts constitute a more
cerious problem than did those of
! the past. Since 1889, every sec
ton OF the nation has, at one
time or another, experienced wa
ter deficiency. In that year, the
| Northwestern section of the coun-
try was worst hit. In 1894, the
great Middle West was arid as a
desert. In 1910, drought came to
the Middle West, the Northwest,
the Southwest, and ranged as far
west as California, though the
Pacific Northwest was not touch
ed. In 1880, the Middle and
Northwest escaped drought for
the most part, while the Pacific
| Northwest, California, and part
Of the East looked futilely for
rain. In 1884, one of the great
est droughts in history encom-
passed the Northwest, Middle
West, and Southwest, did little
damage east of Michigan, and
struck California. This year, the
Atlantic Seaboard and the Pa
! cific Coast did not suffer the de-
privations of drought. But the
Middle West, Northwest and
Southwest did. And so did the
South.
Results of the 1896 drought
can be briefly detailed. North Da-
kota's Spring wheat crop-prin-
cipal source Of cash income for
farmers of that state-was more
than 90 per cent destroyed. South
Dakota found herself in a similar
position. In Montana and Wy
oming grain charred in the fields.
In the greatest corn-producing
states, Iowa and Nebraska, close
to so per cent of The crop was
ruined. Same thing was true of
Illinois. And in the South, the
cotton and tobacco crops were
cut tremendously from the Spring
estimates,
In some states, notably the Da-
.kesas, a plague almost as bai as
that of drought followed-grass-
hoppers. These insects ate what
little grain was left, then turned
to fence posts, trees, anything they
could find for sustenance. In the
same areas. thousands of starving
jack rabbits presented another
| problem. Temperatures in the
worst-hit areas were the highest
since weather bureau records were
started, half a century ago.
The Federal government took
immediate action and gave work

LONDON, July 2S.-Publie
performance of a record contain
ing personal congratulations by
Queen Victoria 20 the late EN-
peror Menelik of Abyssinia, on his
attaining independent sovereignty,
has repeatedly been banned BY
high official quarters because of
possible political repercusions.
Made more than 40 years ago.
the record, mildewed and covered
with fungus, was recently found
with a number o. other old cyliE-
ders by a member of the Edison
Bell firm, pioneers in the phOnO-
graph industry.
Its identity was at first doubted
but the official quarters which
now ban it proved Its authen-
ITCHY.
Two copies of the record were
made. One was taken by Baron
Rennell of Rodd to Abyssinia.
Queen Victoria ordered the other
destroyed, but a duplicate was
preserved in case the copy in
tended for Menelik went astray.
By re-recerding this duDlicate
record has been amplified and
clarified and was to have been
broadcast before the Official bar
was placed upon it.
Other voice-eylinders discover
ed were those Of General Booth,
