Man Dies After Brief
Reunion With Brother.

Fertile-Providence and a strange fate
interviewed last week to reunite two
brothers, who had not seen each other
in more than 43 years and allowed them
a short visit before death claimed one
of them. A. G. Christensen of Bella
Coda, British Columbia arrived last
week in Fertile at the home of his
brother, the late Martin Christensen to
pay him a long deferred visit. Al
though the illness was a serious one he
knew he did not realize that death was
imminent. The next morning, few
hours after the brothers had met again
and enjoyed a pleasant visit together,
Martin Christensen died.

Cockatoos of Parrot Family

Cockatoos are a branch of the
parrot family and particularly
characterized by the large crest Of
feathers on the back or top of the
head. This crest may be raised or
lowered at will but the best chances
OF seeing it spread or raised is when
the bird is excited or just as it lights
on the perch. The majority of cocka-
toos are pure white and the colored
trimmings are their most distin-
gushing feature, according to q
writer in the Los Angeles Times.

No Danger in Eating
Properly Cooked Ducks

With Minnesota'S annual duck hunt
ing season on in full blast, Harry E.
Speakes, director of the division of
Game and Fish, assured residents that
there IS no danger in eating wild ducks
when the food is well cooked.
University psychologists investigated
two or three localized outbreaks of bot
ulism in wild ducks. This is a type of
food poisoning. Occurring in Septem-
Der the condition is now practically nom
existant in the state.
Heat all of the meat for at least 20
minutes at the boiling point and any
danger will have been eliminated" Mr..
Speakes said.

Miss O'Connor came to ner on

told how harassed conscience

death with her fists and dumping
the body in mud puddle.
Miss O'Connor was held in Moy-

charge of homicide while police
and a psychiatrist dug into her

nature might have caused her to
commit the crime. Detective Cap

Wheeler Urges
Government

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a.
(UP) = Senator Burton K.
Wheeler, Democrat, Mon
tana, today called upon the
administration to "reassure
the people that it is not seeking
to destroy business. He advised
such reinsurance lest public fears
cause "a swing of the pendulum
to the reactionaries."
The Montana senator, strategist
of the successful battle against
President Roosevelts judiciary re-
organization bill, said that the
administration has slipped ma
terially in the country as a result
of the court fight and of the busi-
ness recession"
ut has slipped so much," he
asserted, that I am afraid that
the pendulum may swing back to
the reactionaries. That, in my
judgment, would be disastrous for
everyone"
Wheeler said the business re-
cession could not be blamed on any
one thing but said he believed that,
with congress in a more indepen-
dent mood than previously, the
administration could restore con-
fidence by general program in
tended to reassure the country.
Tine undistributed profits tax
has injured small business and
should be modified to that ex-
tent.
'Tne administration should as
sure the country that we are going
to stop waste and extravaganza
in government wherever possible
and, that. while we are going to
have legislation for necessary re-
forms, we are not going to dele
gate dictatorial powers to various
departments.
There is no question from now
on congress will not blindly follow
some Washington bureaucratic There
is no doubt that congress will re-
assert its own legislative functions.
Wheeler said 1t was "inconceiv-
able" that Mr.. Roosevelt would be
a candidate for a third term and
that, if he were, he could not be

TELLS MARTS
Stock Exchanges Must
Eliminate Abuses,
He Declares

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a.
CUP) Chairman William
O. Douglas of the securities
and exchange commission
today offered t he nations
stock markets the choice between
cooperative progressive action" to
eliminate alleged abuses or sub
lection to thorough-going federal
control
He spoke in the midst of the
worst market slump since 1929. A
self-styled conservative fellow from
the old school," is Douglas, who
raised over the markets the club
of the Securities Exchange act Of
1884 which permits the SEC, as a
last resort, to suspend any ex-
change for one year.
His blunt warning called on the
exchanges to reorganize for more
adequate self-regulation, policing
and detection within the letter and
the spirit of the 1884 exchange act.
Failing this, he warned, the only
remaining alternative was ''imme-
diate administration directly by the
commission" of all phases of ex-
change business within the author
ity of the 1884 Securities Exchange
act. He promised an early COM
mission decision on the next step.
Douglas presented this five point
critique of the stock market setup:
l. Management of the larger eX-
changes was in the hands Of pro-
fessional traders engrossed in their
own businesses.
2. 1t was questionable whether
recent trading activity provided an
income sufficient to justify the
huge" exchange membership.
3. Professional traders tended to
sell short" for speculative profit
at a time when public distress
adds factor of decentralization" to
declining market.
a. Exchange members trading for
themselves were responsible for
sharp price fluctuations.
5. There was evidence that dur
ing recent crucial market periods
some stock dealers failed to pass
on to the market the full support
which purchases by little investors
might have afforded.

Only one man was injured suffi-

The strike was called, union Off

COMPROMISE
.FORESEEN ON
LEGISLATION
Unrest in Congress
Aggravated by
Recession

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a.
(UP)-Congressional unrest
aggravated by business re-
cession poin t e d President
Roosevelt's legislative pro-
gram for the special session toward
compromise today
Mr.. Roosevelt acted to clarity
what he regards as misconceptions
obscuring regional planning objec-
tives.
Southern Democrats in the house
rules committee joined Republicans
to block the wage and hours bill
so completely that house leaders
said there was mo possibility OF
obtaining favorable committee ac-
ton at this session, if ever.
House and senate agricultural
committeeman ignored administra-
ticn desires that the crop control
bill be accompanied by revenue pro-
posals to compensate the treasury
for costs beyond existing farm re-
lief commitments.
A house Republican caucus yes
terday voted unanimously for re-
peal of the undistributed profits
tax at this session and proposed
that it be made retroactive for 1887
earnings. The house ways and
means tax subcommittee virtually
completed its study of the undis-
tributed profits tax by adopting a
tentative revision affecting the en-
tire corporate tax structure.
A tax compromise between the
opinion of Mr.. Roosevelt's leaders
that action should be delayed and
the opinion of a large number oi
rank-and-file members that action
should be immediate may be found
by making the proposed changes
retroactive.
It would be possible for congress
to make tax reform the first order
of business after convening in Janu-
ary and to amend the law in such
manner that changes would apply
to payments on 1887 income, the
first of which will be due March
is, 1885,
