MICHIGAN ISLANDS RESORT
FOLK FLEE WALL OF FLAMES
Forest Fire Still Battled
Along 45-Mile Front;

HOUGHTON, Mich, Aug. 1S-
(UP).-Resort residents on fire
SCARED Isle Royale fled their
camps last night before a solid
wall of flame which levelled virgin
timber within a half mile of john
sons resort settlement at Chip
pewa Harbor.
Hastily summoned from other
ports on the island and mainland
where they have been standing by
for just such an emergency, coast
guard cutters and private vessels
concentrated at the danger point
to take the refugees aboard.
Of the many persons who made
the settlement their summer home,
only Holger Johnson, owner, and
year-round resident remained. He
refused to abandon the resort, al
though flames were licking at tim
Der on the outskirts of the camp.
With little likelihood of rain or
change in wind direction, greatest
hope of saving the property was
centered in hundreds of CCC
workers and volunteer freight
ers, struggling desperately to
throw up fire line barricades
against the advancing fires.

No New Taxes, Federal Experts Decide
Markets For Golden Leaf, States
Biggest Money Crop Are Opened
In The Border Tobacco Belt Today

FAIRMONT, N. c., Aug. 13.-
(UP)-The golden leaf of North
Cardinals 1886 tobacco crop
found it's way to the auction floors
today as sales opened in the first
of the states FIVE belts with grow
ers and buyers watching first
sales eagerly for an indication of
season price ranges throughout
the state.
Markets of the border belt -
Fairmont, Lumberton, Tar b +
City, Fair Bluff, Chadbourn,
Clarkton and Whiteville - open
ed their warehouse doors to
steady stream of growers from
surrounding farms with truckload
after truckload of the precious
leaf-biggest money crop of the
state.
Importance of early prices to
growers whose acres were flood
ed by rains during planting sea-
son and later parched by drouth
was emphasized by the fact that
border belt prices generally indi-
cate closely the average the weed
will bring in the larger, later
opening middle and bright leaf
belts.
The average price on the bor-
der belt last season was S20.54;
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1936-08-13

for the state it was S20.24.
An anticipated reduction Of APP
proximately 10 per cent in the
volume of the 1886 crop gave
hope for soaring prices, although
few growers or buyers ventured
to predict that record levels of
1884, when the states average
was $2S.44 a hundred pounds,
would be approached, particularly
in view of weather conditions
during July extremely favorable
to tobacco.
The familiar chant of the auc-
tioneer in the 80 warehouses in
the belt ushered in the festival
spirit throughout southeastern
North Carolina. Banks prepared
to handle overflow transactions,
and merchants piled their shelves
with new goods in anticipation of
the flood of cash from buyer to
grower.
Every large tobacco manufac-
turing concern in the state and
many from outside had buyers on
the warehouse floors, to walk
slowly with the auctioneers and
by a nod or sign, contract for the
baskets of leaf.

LOS ANGELES, CAL. Aug. 13.
(UP).-Judge Goodwin ]. knight
will impose severe conditions to-
day upon Mary Aston and Dr..
FRANKLIN Thorpe in granting them
joint control of their four-year-
old daughter. His intent will be
to "sew up" sensational litigation
between the film star and her d.
vorced husband so that it can
never be reopened. -
Judge Knight made this state
ment of his plans in revealing that
he would take charge of Miss AS
tors rhapsodical diary, in which
she confessed an extra-marital
love for George S. Kaufman, ia
nous playwright. The disposition
of the diary will be known only to
DIR. Thorpe, Miss Aston and the
court, but it was understood that
Judge Knight would impound it in
such a way that it can do no fur
Their damage to Miss Aston and be
of no further assistance to her
former husband.
Judge Knight told the United
Press that when court convenes at
10 a. m. e p. m. Eastern Daylight
time) he will instruct John An
derson, DR.. Thorpe's attorney, ia
hand him the diary forthwith. He
said he then would recess court
until 2 D. M, using the four to
read "every word in the diary"
At 2 p. m. he will reconvene
court, he said, and summon Miss
Astor, DR.. Thorpe, and their at
torneys before him to hear a read
ing of a written memorandum
governing the custody of Martyr
Thorpe.
"My primary interests are fol
the child" he said. "When the
agreement drawn up between the
lawyers is accepted, l expect il
will sew up the Astor-Thorpe case
so it will never be reopened."
Miss Aston and DR.. Thorpe
agreed finally on the future of
their child late yesterday after
two days of pickering and confer
ences between their attorneys that
conferred mostly around one point
the disposition of Miss Astor's
diary, in which, in addition to pro-
Tossing her love for Kaufman, she
expressed her admiration for Or.
Thorpe and confessed his right
ness in many of their disagree

Miss Astor did not wish the
diarv to remain in her former

wanted to keep it lest Miss Astor
