Red Cross to
Aid Wind Swept
Isle in Pacific
Belief Work in Porto Rico Held Up
by Lack of Definite Knowledge
of Hurricane's Damage
Washington, Sept. 14. The Am
reican Red Cross moved swiftly to
day to extend relief to murricane
swept Porto Rico but government as
sistance was held in abeyance until
more definite information on the ex
tent of storm damage was received
from official sources.
Henry M. Baker, rational director
of disaster relief, and four assistant?
were ordered to the stricken island
and th nayy ordered a destroyer to
stand by at Charleston. S. C., to car-
ry them southward, if the course of
the storm was such that a ship dare
venture in that direction. They plan
to sail from Charleston sometime to
morrow. The navy also ordered several
small vessels in the vicinity to stand
ready to carry assistance to San Juan
the Porto Rican capital which wa
reported seriously damaged by thf
high winds. In the meantime the
, . , , , ,
bureau of insular affairs and the war
department, thru Secretary Davis, re
quested Governor Towner to give full
information of the storm's damage
and relief needs.
The Red Cross instructed its lo
cal chapter at San Juan to report at
once its "relief recommendations,"
but late today had received no reply
altho the cable . company reported
that the message had been delivered.
Requests for definite information on
the number of deaths and relief need?
sent by the war department also
were unanswered late today and gov
ernmental action was being held up
The navy department had received
no official requests for assistance and
is waiting until more definite infor
mation is received before orderinp
any of its vessels into the hurricane
region. State Journal.

sisting of Chris Andersen, Bristow
chairman; If. C. Parmenter, Yutan,
secretary; W. F. Dale, Lincoln; II.
C. Elwood, Creighton, and E. L
Hunt, Syracuse, met this week and
reaffirmed the following state leg
islative program:
"We are opposed to any increase
in the gasoline tax, but insist upon
a division of the present gasoline
tax so that 50 percent of that paid
in each county shall go to the coun
ty road funjl.
We demand the repeal of the
intangible tax law and that there
be no distinction in the classifica
tion of property.
We favor the nomination and
election of all county candidates on
a non-political ballo.
"We recommend a state income
tax.
"We recommend the reduction of
the surplus required for mutual li
ability insurance from $125,000 tc
$25,000, which is in accordance with
the requirements of other companie?
writing this class of Insurance.
"We recommend that the name
of the county farm bureau be chang
ed to prevent confusing such organi
zations with the American i? arm Bur
eau Federation, and that the name
be "county extension service."
"We urge the legislature of 19 29
be amend the law relative to the
election and payment of salary and
expenses of county superintendent
of public instruction so that onl;
those electors shall be entitled tt

CREATING COUNTY AGENT
In answer to questions from Boone
countv the attorney general's depart-
' ment holds that there is no express
nrovlaion for the withdrawal of a
man's name from the original peti
tion to the county board to grant a
county agent. The department does
not believe the withdrawal of a name
is nermissible after the petition is
filed with the county clerk. If the
signer withdraws before it is filed he
i may later siSn a remonstrance if he
Is otherwise qualified. Under the law
of 1927 amending the law of 192.$
he is barred from signing a remon
strance if his name appears on the
original petition as filed.
A landowner who is a bona fide
resident of the county and actually
engaged in farming may petition or
remonstrate. A landlord who rents
his land and has no active part In
its management is not one actually
j engaged in farming, according to the
opinion.

Risk is Found
in Stock Sales
to Employees
More a Speculation Than an
vestment in Most Cases
It Is Said
In
Washington Flotation f of itf
stock by a corporation among itt
employes is, in most cases, a Epecu
lation and not an investment for the
workers, it is found after Investiga
tion by the bureau of labor statis
tics of the Department of Agricul
ture. If the plans of a corporation offer
ing its stock to its employes "can
not stand upon their value to the em
ployes as a safe Investment," sayr
the bureau in its report, "they con
not In any way be justified, since
purchase of stock by the average em
ployee involves frugality .self-denial
and often the surrender of much of
his independence, which should not
be asked by an employer of his ef
ployees if there is any danger that
their painfully acquired saving may
be lost."
The basis for the statement of the
bureau is laid on publication of an
article by Willard C. Fisher on thi?
subject.
The usual reasons given by Ameri
can corporations for inaugurating a
stock subscription plan, the state
ment continues, "are the desire tc
retain the services of the older em
ployees, to increase their loyalty and
efficiency and to decrease labor agr
tation, and to afford the employeer
an opportunity for the safe and
profitable investment of their sav
ings; while a few companies havr
frankly avowed their wish to create
a new demand for their securities
In the great majority of these plans
though, the predominant motive must
be taken to be the benevolent pur
pose of assisting ths employes tc
save.
There are many reasons why per
sons who are able to save only ir
small amounts shoulder defer, or omit
altogether, the purchase of secur
ities." it is held.
"Assuming, however, that he hap
taken steps to safeguard the inter
ests of his family, and that the em
ployee is ready to invest his money
it must be understood in the light of
experience that he will have no con
trol or oppreclable influence in cor
poration management, nor does in
vestment in its securities give him
knowledge of the corporation's con
dition and policies.
"Safety is the first requisite for
the employee's Investment. Also he
must be reasonably assured of the
permanency of income from the in
vestment." It4s pointed out that the specula
tive element enters into the transac
tion and that employees are as likely
to sell as outsiders when buctuation?
or the market promise rewards oi
threaten loss. Some corporations
make it a condition of selling stock
to employees that it shall not be
sold before it Is fully pal for, or that
they cannot buy stock again of they
have sold what they had previously
purchased.
It is deduced, after an anlysis of
the stock selling plans and the trend
of prices through a number of yearp
that the promoted purchase of stock
by employees it not investment but
speculation In most cases.

ful following his attack upon Lucille
Snodgrass, 22, a teacher in the Strang
public school, yesterday, Charle.
Culp, 20, an Alexandria, Neb., higb
school graduate, fatally shot himself
throught the head at the sid? of a
creek on his father's farm.
The teacher heard the shot as she
fled from him through the willows.
The couple had known each other
for nearly three years and kept com
pany for a year until two weeks ago
when Miss Snodgrass told Culp that
a neighbor had won her love.
Wednesday night Culp called at
the home of Mrs. Sarah Mitchell
where the teacher roomed and said
he had a "date" with Miss Snodgrass.
The girl, in another room, called back
that she knew of no such date.
Escapes From Auto.
Culp forced his way Into the house
and grabbing the teacher by the
arm, he dragged her Into his automo
bile. When the car had been driven
about two miles south of Strang, Miss
Snodgrass says, she leaped from the
automobile.
Culp called again at 'her rooming
house at 7:30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The teacher answered his knock
and seeing him, she closed the door
The boy ran to the back door. A
small caliber revolver was in hit
hand.
Miss Snodgrass ran through the
front door toward the home of :
neighbor, Leon Messman. but as she
was halfway to the place, Culr
caught her.
Tells of Struggle.
"I'll kill you if you do not go with
me, ne said as he placed the gun
against her side.
The teacher accompanied him tc
his automobile. She pleaded to br
released, but the youth did not an
swer.
"Where are you taking me?" she
cried. "Please let me go."
Culp refused to speak to her. driv
ing the car, she said like mad.
"We drove into his father's farm,"
Miss Snodgrass said today. "There
he began to tear my clothes. I fought
with him. He told me he was sorry
for what he had done. He finally re
leased me. I started running away.
He called me to stop and started to
ward me. He fell, and I ran to the
road. There I hard, a shot. I did not
return."
Sheriff Finds Body.
A farmer, on his way to the Gen
eva fair, was stopped and he drove
the teacher back to Strang.
In the meantime, Mrs. Mitchell
had notified the town marshal of the
affair and he in turn called Sheriff
John E. Little of Geneva. The Sher
iff found the body. A bullet hole
was in the back of the head.
The suicide being in Thayer coun
ty, the sheriff there was notified and
he ordered the body removed to an
Alexandria undertaking parlor.
Culp is survived by his parents
Mr. and Mrs. John Culp, three bro
thers and five sisters. The father of
the boy told authorities that his son
had been acting queerly for three
days.
"Made Threats to Kill."
Miss Snodgrass teaches the kinder
garten, first, second, third and fourth
grades. She was at her work thi?
morning.
"When I first began to keep com
pany with him," she said, "he seem
ed very nice. But I soon discovered
that he could not control his temper
and wanted everything his own way.
I told him I did not wish his com
pany two weeks ago and started go
ing with a neighbor boy. He threat
ened to kill me and himself many
times, but I paid little attention tc
him."
