Russell was elected in 1882 to fill a
vacancy.
In the second, voters will nominate
one Of three candidates for the govern
orship to succeed Talmadge, among
them Charles D. Redwine, State Sen
ate president who bears the indorse-
ment of the red-suspendered chief ex-
| ecutive.
Others in the gubernatorial contest
are E. D. Rivers, Speaker of the State
| House of Representatives, who broke
with Talmadge over legislative matters
in 1885. and Blanton Fortson. Athens
Superior Court judge nominated by a
convention Of free Democrats" which
expressed a hope to rid Georgia of
political boSSism."
Redwine, 51-year -old legislative vet
eran, banker, merchant and farmer.
said he would carry on the Talmadge

fessed loyalty to President Roosevelt.

Memorial services for the World War
veterans and others who perished in
the Labor day hurricane Of 1885 will
be held tomorrow in little churches
along the Keys and here in Bayview
Park, where gulf and ocean meet.

Later. in discussing the Finger

las to the entire picture Of the
fingerprint service. We have to have
prompt action, and information must
be sent back within SO hours, be-
cause the person whose prints are
sent in is sometimes released If our
information does not reach the local
authorities within that time It is inn
perative in our work to have a "a

THE inadequate personnel which
we have makes a strong possibility
Of mistakes being made, which rep
resent a matter of life and death.
If We say a man has no criminal rec
ord and he has one. that man may
be released by the local authorities,
and if We report he has a criminal
record and have made an error we
are doing an injustice to an innocent
man.

under which that division is work.
ing will ultimately result in some
serious error Of that kind, It Is not
fair to the personnel of that division
to work the hours they have to work" I"
Division Rules Criticized.
Some of the lodge members have
criticized rules of the division requir-
ing the Venetian shades to be adjusted
at an approximately uniform level
down the long fingerprint rooms, and
suggesting" that male employees wear
ing suspenders keep their coats on.
F. B. I. officials have explained they
do not care how high or low the
shades are maintained so long as all
are kept about the same height.
Both rules were adopted to improve
the appearance of the fingerprint divi-
sion for visitors.
The lodges demonstrations against
the F. B. I. followed discharge or "ac-
ceptance of designations" of eight en-
ployes Of the technical unit of the
Fingerprint Division about a month
ago, "for inefficiency." All were men,
bers of the lodge. and they charged
this was the real reason for their
custer.
When the lodge, without securing
authority of the parent organization,
appeared at the Department of JUS
tice and distributed handbills of pro-
test, the American Federation Of
Government Employees Cancelled the
lodges charter. A. F. G.. E. leaders
accused the lodge leaders of radical"
tendencies.
The lodge went to court to seek
reinstatement in the federation, but
last week withdrew the suit. It Is
understood the fight will be carried to
the annual convention of the organi-
zation.

PROPELLER BREAK
BLAMED IN CRASH
Benny Howard Says Blade
Was Hurled From Place
by High Speed.
BY the Associated Press.

by INT Associated Press.
CROWNPOINT, N. Mex, September
5.-Crushed and broken, but clinging
tenaciously to life, Benny Howard told
friends today that broken propeller
caused his speedy Bendix trophy race
airplane, Mr.. Mulligan, to crash near
here yesterday.
Physicians were optimistic over the
condition of Howard and his wife Max
Inc, also injured in the wreck
One blade Of the metal propeller, he
said. was hurled from its socket by the
tremendous centrifugal force of its high
speed.
The resulting lurch shook the hur-
Ting craft from tail to nose. almost
throwing Howard and his wife. his
companion on the grueling transcon-
tinental speed test, from their seats.
Given Even Chance"
Before he could make any attempt
to bring the ship back into control. he
said. it crashed in an isolated section
Of the Navajo Indian country 40 miles
north of here.
Howard. the more seriously injured
had multiple compound fractures Of
both legs below the knee, brain con-
cussion and broken left arm, but his
internal injuries apparently were less
severe than physicians feared at first.
He was given IAN even chance" for
life by physicians at the Indian Serv-
Ice Hospital here.
"Howard's right foot was nearly
severed at the ankle" said DR.. Fred
Lo, Indian Service physician, but we
have hopes of saving It,"
He said Howard was taking liquid
nourishment and was conscious and
rational after a period of delirium last
night. Little anxiety was felt over
the condition of Mrs. Howard. Her
fractured legs were set today and she
was reported recovering from severe
bruises and shock.
One Propeller Blade Missing.
Although physicians discouraged
questioning of the couple about the
accident and would allow none but
close friends at the bedsides, the
wreckage of Howard's plane bore grim
witness to the accuracy of his brief
statement.
One blade of the propeller was miss
ing. The other blade still was at
tached to the engine. which had been
torn nearly of the crafts nose.
The wreckage came to rest right
side up, but both wings were shattered
and the fabric covering was ripped
from most of the fuselage.
So warped and shattered was the
plane that rescuers had to saw an
opening to remove Howard, after the
flying couple had lain three hours un-
attended because nearby Navajos
feared to risk the touch of death,

TREASURY CLOSES
ROW WITH G-MEN
BoatWright, Secret Service
Agent, Denoted by
Morgenthau.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Treasury yesterday wrote the
conclusion to the tiff between Its
Secret Service investigators and j.
Edgar Hoover's Justice Department
dgents.
Oficials said that Grady L. Boat
wright, veteran Secret Service oper-
ative and former head Of the st. Paul
ONCE, has been given field assign
ment. This was in line with Secre-
tary Morgenthau's orders demoting
him for investigating past acts of
Federal Bureau of Investigation
agents.
Earlier. Joseph E. Murphy, former
assistant chief of the Secret Service,
had been transferred to the newly
created superintendency Of the West
Coast area for the same reason. He
will assume his new duties after a
short leave of absence.
Treasury officials declined to say
where Boatwright is. indicating he
Is on some confidential assignment
They added, however, that he has
left st. Paul.
Differences between the Govern
nent's two agencies were disclosed
recently with a statement by Attor-
ney General Cummings that there
had been some "ill-advised" efforts
by Secret Service men to inquire into
activities of Hoover'S agents.
Morgenthau quickly ordered an in
vestigation, asserting he was deeply
shocked" to learn that certain men,
bers of the Secret Service had taken
1t upon themselves to investigate &C
tivities of the Federal Bureau OF
Investigation"
AS suitable disciplinary measures, VI
he ordered the demotion of Boat
wright and Murphy. Before going
