.DUEA BROTHERS
TURNABOUT IN
FINDING AUTOS

The Duea brothers operate on
the theory that turnabout is fair
play.
Two years ago when Willard
Duea's car was stolen by JOY rid
ers, his younger brother, Bud,
found the machine near Ramsey
park entrance.
Monday night Buds 1887 coupe
was stolen from near the school
house while he was at city band
practice.
Cruising about shortly after
midnight, Willard found the car
parked between the Robert Park
er and H. P. Sanders residences.
Lester Cox was with him in the
search.
Bud said the car had been driv-
en- about 80 miles by the thieves.
Tuesday night a 1899 sedan
owned by Leroy Flore was stolen
from in front of his home on
Washington street. The machine
was at the house at 8: 40 p. m. and
at $3.50 p. m. it was seen aband-
oileu OH highway IL near the raj
mer tourist cabins just southwest
of Morton.
Harold Berger who was return
ing home from meeting at Fair
fax, accompanied by DR.. C.. L.
Lynn and Rev. Clyde D. Lindsey,
when he noticed the Flore car on
the highway. 1t was facing west.
When he reached the city and
heard of the robbery he reported
seeing the car. 1t contained only
a small amount of gas when it was
stolen and it is believed that the
thieves headed it toward town
when they found they were run
ming out, then abandoned it when
the supply was exhausted.

corn has not presented enough evil dence against the accused to neces- sitate the calling of defense wit nesses.
 Between now and July 5 there | are only four possible court days during which defense witnesses may be called, and the indication is, un- less something unforeseen occurs that the trial will not be over be- fore September.
 The trial is now in adjournment until June 20, but the jury will not return to hear evidence until June 27. During the intermi the argu- ments for dismissal will be heard and decisions rendered by Judge h. glis.
 The reason for the necessity ot written motion for the removal of certain testimony or exhibits from the record is due to the neces- sity of specific reference and ac- curacy. Such motion would nec- essarily set forth exactly what testimony, the page of the record and the reason for the request for erasure.
 First arguments for dismissal will be made by Attorney James D. C. Murray, counsel for Mayor Frank Hayes.

New Jersey, in which not single case has been recorded since 1881.
 The sudden outbreak in New York, and the fact that the disease is more prevalent in the United States than an any of the other great civilized Western countries, leads the statisticians to stress the importance of preventive measures to safeguard the public against smallpox. Conditions in New York also confirm the stand taken by the statisticians in a nationwide study of the incidence of smallpox during 1888. They remark thatt he ease of modern transportation makes it an ever-present possibility that sporadic cases of the disease may be introduced into a section from an outside source. And the recent out break in Chautauqua County, N. Y, probably resulted from just such a cause, according to the New York State Department of Health.
 As for conditions throughout the United States in 1888, the statis- ticianS say:
 "New Jersey, with population of about 4,400, 900, has not had a single case of smallpox in period of more than seven years-since 1881. On the other hand, the states of North and South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregan, Wyoming and Utah, whose combined population is less than that of New Jersey, reported dur ing the same period, 1866 cases of this loathsome disease. Why?
 Chiefly because in New Jersey the people readily accept the prin- ciple of vaccination as preventive of smallpox, while in the other seven states compulsory vaccination is generally opposed by the popula- tion, and little help is given the health authorities in their effort to stamp out the disease"
 Further describing the smallpox situation throughout the country last year, the statisticians explain that in the states north of the Ohio river and west of the Mississippi with a population of slightly more than half that of the entire coun- try, 14,166 cases of the disease were reported in 1888, compared with only 945 cases for the rest of the coun- try. Not single case was reported during 1888, in the New England states, and the States of New York Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, and the District of Columbia, with a combined popula- t;ox, of % nnn mn

GEN. FRANCO TO
 BUY US. COTTON
MOrgenthau Opposes Un- less Franco Drops His
 Suit For Silver

Washington, June 15--(UP)--G Gen. Francisco Franco's Spanish govern ment is trying to purchase 100000 bales of American cotton through the Export-Import Bank but is being opposed by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., ,in- formed sources said today.
 Morgenthau's opposition, it was said, is based on the Franco gov ernment's suit against the Treasury to recover $14,250,000 in silver sold the United States by the Loyalist regime before the Spanish civil war ended.
 The cotton would cost SIS 5,000, 900.
 A Treasury official emphasized that Morgenthau was not opposed to the deal because of any political considerations.
 Secretary Willing
 "AS 8 matter of fact" he said, "the secretary is willing to facili- tate any legitimate deal which would aid in disposing of this country's cotton surplus.
 However, he wants some positive assurance that once the cotton is sold to the Spanish government it is not going to claim that payment has been made in full on the basis of its contention that the United States owes it for the silver"
 The cotton deal, notwithstanding, he declared, the treasury was pre- pared to fight attempts by the Franco government to obtain the silver. The treasury contends that it acquired the silver from what was then legally recognized govern ment of Spain. The silver, all in coin, was brought here in several shipments.
