IN WAR SCARE

NEW YORK, Sept. 8 QNS0.
Increased tension over the sword
rafting in the Far East and the
Mediterranean forced the New
York and London stock markets
into unsettled positions today, but
failed to affect the Paris Bourse.
The BourSe closed with the en-
tire board in a steady tone abet-
ted by inactive trading.
At noon today, the New York
market had turned downward
after temporarily recovering from
yesterdays disastrous session.
Fresh selling in steels and rails
turned the list downward.
Fluctuations in the steel list, q
"war baby" section. set the market
trend. U. S. Steel, the list leader,
opened at 9634, up a half point,
rose to 98A and then dropped to
a new low of SO. Cotton held close
to previous closings while bonds
were lower and governments mixed.
Copper, another war baby" re-
sisted the unsettled and downward
trend Of the London market today
with Rhokana at IL 1915 pds.
and Roam Antelope at 1882. In
ternational issues were particularly
cratic.
On the foreign boards, only cot
ton and copper were steady and in
demand. London and Amsterdam
reported buyers for the dollar while
the guilder was off 21a points and
the pound down % of cent. The
French franc, under foreign pres
sure, dropped 3/16 of a point.

EsCHEWs RALLIES

The Presidents western trip
and special session prospects IN.
tertwine to considerable degree.
If Mr.. Roosevelt finds popular
sentiment to be what he thinks 1t
is, chances seemed strong that
Congress would be back at work
in November.
In travelling to Seattle to visit
his daughter. Mrs. Anna Beet
tiger, and the grandchildren late
this month, the Executive will not
seek mass reaction by addressing
large rallies, it was said. Rather,
he viii feel the Nations pulse

ances and conferences with the
endless chain Of State, county and
local leaders who always board a
cross country Presidential train
for q few miles.
"TNTAKE' TRIP
It was expected Mr.. Roosevelt
would go West by the northern
route and return by a more south
erly one, thus getting him in per-
sonal touch with a large cross-sec-
ton Of the Nations voters. He
probably will visit the Fort Peck,
Bonneville and Grand Coulee prof.
ectS and spend a day in one of the
national parks on the way home.
Through the industrial Central
States, the President looks for re-
action to his wage-hour program.
The corn and wheat belts will give
him a cue to the demand for crop
control.
He refers to the swing as an Elm

hope it will result in an "outgo" of
expression to members Of Congress
from their constituencies to back
up the New Deal.

Break With Russia

ROME, Sept. S.-R eactinR
swiftly to a second curt note from
Russia renewing charges that Ital.
ian torpedoeS sent two Russian
steamers to the bottom of the Med.
iterranean, Italy today prepared
for a decisive break with Moscow.
The Italian government, it was
learned, soon will announce its
formal adherence to the pact
against BolShevism signed recently
by Japan and Germany.
WOULD STRENGTHEN PACT
Italy hitherto has merely ap.
proved the agreement without 40
tually joining it, as a third party'S
formal adherence would have the
effect of lining Japan. Germany
and Italy solidly against Russia.
The new Russian note was
handed to Foreign Minister Count
Galeazzo Ciano by the Soviet
charge d'affaires. The note,
which was brief almost to the
point of studied rudeneSS, declared
the Italian reply to the first Soviet
note accusing Italy of responsible.
ity for sinking the ships was I'M
satisfactory.
PREPARATION DEMANDED
The second communication reit.
Grated the Soviet demand for rep.
arations for loss of the ships and
punishment of the persons re.
sponsible for torpedoing them.
Meanwhile, Premier MusSolini
and his aides still were consider.

Former Omahan Wins
1887 Twin City Title

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. %
William r. Simms, formerly of
Omaha fought his way to a smash
ing victory in the annual Twin City
tennis tournament staged here re-
Gently. Those who witnessed the
final match, played on the beauti-
full clay courts at the Minneapolis
Parade Grounds, acclaimed it to be
the most thrilling and evenly
match seen hereabouts since the
Gray-Penn rivalry of a few years
back.
When, in an early round, "Bill"
Simms came from behind to eli
inmate the favored Albert Allen,
&c, 6-3, 6-2, the odds were in his
favor that he would be the new
chap. His ability TO draw the OPP
position out of position for a put
away shot gave him decisive vic
tory over tht veteran, M. Leo Bo-
hanon, So, as, 6-2.
In the final round, it seemed GER
tain that "Corny" Moberly, of st.
Paul would carry the cup back to
st. Paul. After trailing Az in the
first set, Simms came up to TAXI
the set Ga. So it was through the
entire five sets-Simms always be-
hind. With sets at two apiece and
Moberly out in front al in the
fifth and final set, Simms began the
comeback drive that Melted the
1887 singles crown. Simms poured
tennis balls at Moberly from all
angeles of the court so fast that
what was formerly a classy looking
tennis looked like a simon-pure
ham-meaning Moberly. A fierce
overhead drive and a cannon-ball
service kept Moberly from winning
another game. Simms took the
match Ga, 3-6, Cd, So, and
Cd.
