PLACE BOUNTY
ON BAB00NS
Wreak Havoc in South
Africa and $3.50 Per
Head Is Paid

JOHANNESBURG, South Afri-
ca. June IA. (UP).-The johann
nesburg division council is paying
bounty of $3.50 for each ba-
boon killed in an effort to stinu-
late the war on the marauding
animals which are causinv havoc
to the farms of South Africa.
Higher rewards are paid in dis.
tricts overrun by huge troops OF
balloons which raid orchards, steal
crops, mutilate sheep and cattle,
and carry off chickens. The gov
eminent considers it better to OF.
fer premiums for the slaughter OF
the animals than meet damage
claims of the farmers.
The havoc seems never to end.
From the Equator south to the
Cape, the baboon outlaws survive
in settled areas in countless thou
sands, Jackals and leopards take
their toll, but still the haboon
ranks as South Africa's Public
Enemy No. l. Guns, traps, poison
capsules, and baited cages are
used every day in the fight
against them.
One farmer, desperate after
heavy losses, caught large male
baboon, sheared it, painted 1t
white with red rings around the
eyes and turned it loose IN the
hope that the strange apparltlon
would scare the rest of the tribe
from his farm. No really effective
method, however, has yet been
found of dealing with them.
SKINS VIRTUALLY
WORTHLESS
The skins have no commercial
value and until some way is found
of making a profit out of balloons,
they probably never will be eXter-
minated. The skins have been
tanned and used as coppers in
boots, but though they wear well,
they never cease to squeak. The
flesh is so bitter that only the
poorest of the natives will eat it.
Balloons gouge out the eyes of
lambs, attack the young of all an
imals, and wipe out guinea fowl
and partridge. The ravages of the
balloons in the Transvaal corn
fields alone is estimated at more
than $l,50O,000 a year. Native
farmers suffer severely, for they
have no firearms, and are not al
lowed to possess them. In less
than half an hour large troop
of balloons will clear field of
corn.
Few of the balloons natural en-
emies are left. Leopards dispose
of a few, but battle between a
leopard and full-grown baboon
does not always end in victory for
the leopard.
Usually the baboon is too cum
ming to enter the home of man,
but with women, balloons show no
fear. The most spectacular inva-
sion Of recent years occurred at
the little town Of Maritzani, where
a troop of balloons about 200
90 acres, considered entirely too
few even with the anticipated
holdover from the coming crop.

An old male is always the leader,
The average life of baboon is
not known exactly, but it is be-
lieved to be about as years. The
animals sense of smell is poor,
but it's sight is excellent, and its
cunning higher than that of many
animals.
Natives in tropical Africa be-
lieve that the balloons were once
human beings who refused to
work an dwere turned out into
the wilderness, while Hottentots
declare that the balloons could
talk if they wished, but do not do
so for fear the white people would
make them work.

In addition, the conferees or
the $375,000,000 flood control
authorization bill reported the
measure back to their respective
chambers with recommendations
that the federal government pay
the entire cost of projects under
taken under the legislation. This
proposal was advanced by Senate
ajority Leader Alben w. Bark
ley, D., Ky, and is made retroac-
tive to 1928.
If approved, the government
would be compelled to refund
millions of dollars advanced by
states for flood control work in
conjunction with federal OUTLAWS.
In return, the secretary of war
would take title to all dams, res
ervoirs and canals and the gov
eminent would acquire all water
rights.
Yesterday the upper chamber
received the last of the deficiency
bills. 1t appropriates $279,414,87O
to meet unbudgeted items, includ-
ing $36,314,000 to initiate the ma
val expansion program and $780,
900 to start construction of a 3d.
100000 dirigible.
A score of minor measures was
passed by the senate Monday.
They included a joint resolution
for a congressional inquiry of
phosphate resources in America
a Joint resolution providing that
wheat acreage allotments under
the new farm act should not be
fewer than 100000 acres; a
bill designed to encourage travel
to and within the United States;
a bill authorizing the sale of sur
plus power developed under the
Uncompahgre river reclamation
project in Colorado.
Senator Rush Holt, D., w. Va,
continued his feud with the New
Deal, charging that the Works
Progress administration had spent
"much money to smear members
of congress who opposed the pro-
gram"
In the other house, Represen-
tative Bruce Barton, R., N. Y,
attacked the resolution to create
quasi congressional executive
committee to investigate monopo-
lies as an "anti-job bill" or the
bill "for increasing unemploy-
ment." The house rules committee
voted to give the resolution right
of-way on the floor. 1t also voted
a rule to expedite consideration
of a bill to strengthen the law
relating to the liability of the
railroads for injuries sustained by
employees. -,
A measure creating a federal
unemployment compensation sys-
TEN in the $26,000,000,000 rail
industry was passed by the house.
The president sent up what
probably will be his last message
to this congress. He recommended
consideration of the need of re-
wishing and codifying Americas ma
tionality laws.
The house passed and sent to
the White House a bill setting the
wheat acreage allotment for the
1899 crop at 55,O00,000> acres.
The measure was supported by
the agricultural department be-
cause of the tremendous estimat-
ed crop for this year. Under the
formula for D., determining acreage
under the new farm bill, the al
lotment would be about 44,000,-

pearances had not testified before the jury Most of his time at the court house today was spent in sitting in the hall of the third floor.
 AlcOrn's Auditor Arrives
 Warren M. Brown, personal audi tor of Special Prosecutor Hugh M, Alcorn also arrived on the scene this morning, and was last seen emerging from the elevator at the third floor landing. Brown has been conducting thorough audit of the books during the past month, as they were in the custody of the special prosecutor. whether he was here to continue his audit, or testify before the jury could not be learn ed.
 Henry L. Gebhardt, the photog- rapher who completed photoStatic copies of all election records used during the last municipal election, also spent short time on the grand jury floor this morning. When he entered the elevator for transporta- ton to the grand jury floor he was carrying a package, presumably photographs or negatives, marked in pencil for MT. Greer. He did not have the package when he stepped from the elevator twenty minutes later.

for a state visit to Premier Benito Mussolini carly in Mary.
 These reports may have been based largely on deduction. But the deduction was drawn in some quar- , ters that the famous Berlin Rome" axis of cooperation might be over strained by the Nazi program in Austria. Some fascists express doubt that the axis can stand the strain and they would not be surprised if the Hitler visit did not materialize. Fascists regard Schuschnigg's po- sition as grave. They believe, that in his surprising course in recent days, he has been prompted by an intolerable situation which could not continue.
 There has been revival here of reports that Italy had reinforced her garrisons near the Brellner Pass on the Austrian frontier-3O miles only from the German-Austrian frontier. These reports were denied, as they have been previously. Mill tary experts, accepting the denial, say however that the frontier forces on Italy's side have been at full force for some time.
 Situation Is Delicate
 The Austrian situation as seen here was delicate one. AS soon as it was known last night that Schusch- nigg had called for plebiscite, it was suggested that he would not have done so without consulting Mussolini Italians believe that the plebiscite will be great victory for Schuschnigg, hence 8 defeat for Nazis.
 Private political quarters even suggested that because Nazis planned bie "Anschluss day" (union day) March 27, the sugges- tion was made to Schuschnigg from this side of the Brenner Pass that he forestall them and hold a plebi- scite himself.
 These political quarters, without protesting inside knowledge, saw Premier Mussolini, as walking along diplomatic path that few others would venture to follow. They said that as an ally of both Schuschnigg and Hitler, but vitally interested in Austria's independence, MuSsolini could not publicly support Schusch- nigg's move without off ending Hitler. Germany Irritated Berlin, March 10- UP) The Austrian independence" plebiscite called for Sunday by Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg was plainly re- garded today as an antt-Nazi ma neuver by Nazi party and govern ment circles, which were consider ably irritated.
 Although German newspapers did not even publish the original an- nouncement of the plebiscite, the afternoon newspapers in Berlin car ried inspired comment which semi official quarters declared constituted Germany's answer" to Schusch- nigg's fait accompli.
 Tt needs hardly to be added to SchuSchnigg'S announcement that there can be no fair gauging of the popular will be the methods pro- posed by him." Der Angriff, organ of the labor front, said.
 Why as early as Sunday? Why this precipitateness?" the newspaper asked.
 Tagblatt said the details of the mode of balloting permit only one concluSion-that there can be no fair Nauging of the popular will" All other afternoon papers con- mented along the same lines and all alluded on expected reaction"

torney Josiah Peck, counsel for for mer Controller Leary, should have been named to prosecute the af- fair" appeared in Waterbury at the court house today. His business was of a civil nature, however, and he failed to venture even to the second floor of the building. He visited only the court of common pleas on the first floor.
 Detective Edward J. Hickey was on the jury room throughout the day. Detectives George L. Greer and John Sponzo made intermittent trips out of the building, but their missions could not be ascertained.
 Four Have Been Called
 Only four persons have been called by the jury to date; Control Ter Rowland, Auditor Purcell; Miss Carolyn Cozza, an official of the Off, flee Supply Co.,; and Frank Burns. All were before the jury yesterday
 Burns returned today, entering the courthouse shortly before 10 o'clock. All his records pertaining to operations of the Connecticut Supply Company, were brought tc the jury yesterday afternoon. He first appeared on the scene yester- day at o'clock, but soon left the building in company with Detectives Greer and Sponzo.
 When they returned their arms were laden with Burns books. Dur ing the early days of Controller RoWland's occupation of his office 1t was publicized that Burns re- ceived more than $12OO0 from the city for rental of equipment, dur ing two months of 1887.
 Same Old Secrecy
 The usual secrecy shrouded tho jury's activities yesterday and to- day. No one is allowed on tht third floor unless he has a specific and just reason for such a visit.
 At the close of yesterdays ses. sion, MT. Alcorn refused to com. ment on the decision handed doWr in Bridgeport, which holds that { Witnes need not testify if such tes ClluOny VIII serve to llCTlInlIldGe Ol degrade him. He also refused agair to answer questions with regart to the length of time the prob, may require.
 More Records Coming
 It was learned from a reliable source today that a further ship ment of records of the controller office, which were impounded earl, in February, will be returned here The larger portion are believed t. have been returned and are now a the disposal of the grand jury.
 Whether or not the jury intend to recall Miss Cozza to the stan, cannot be ascertained, but doubt less little was offered in the spac of time she appeared yesterday.
 Speculation was rife as to Wh the next witness called before tn jury might be. Heading the lis speculated on was Attorney Edwar, Levy of New Haven.

Right wing elements of the popular front then wanted to exclude the communists and embark on 8 re- trenchment campaign. The commun- ists, however, got the support of the socialists. AS the result, the socialists, who were represented in the cabinet -t the communists were not, though they were part of hte coalition - withdrew. Chautemps formed an all radical socialist cab inet, but with the support in parlia- ment of the socialists and commun- ists, and resumed office Jan. IS. -
 Last week the government ob- tained parliamentary approval for a gigantic rearmament program. entailing the provision of an auton- omous defense fund.
 This mean a national defense loan of some 15,O00000,000 francs $475,- 100000. Considerable doubt was entertained in money markets the loan would prove attractive with the communists still in the coalition and the franc weakened.
 Chautemps decided to dmeand ex- traordinary powers, which including slashing social service funds. Neith- CT communists nor socialists would agree, and Chautemps determined to resign.
