Organize World
Police Force in
Fight on Crime
Illinois Consolidates Officers in At
tack on Racketeering Cen
ter Efforts.
A worldwide organization "the
international world police" was
formed in Chicago Friday night to
aid in eradicating criminals while
police and federal authorities in the
United States sought victims of two
sensational kidnapings and a third
abduction was reported.
Folice conferees from over the
world will elect officers for the new
organization and leave details of the
organization to committees. The or
ganization's purpose is to co-ordinate
police efforts over the world and "to
expedite police information pertain
ing to international crime and inter
national criminals.
Illinois organized its law enforc
ing officers to begin a frontal attack
on kidnaping racketeers. More than
three hundred sheriffs, chiefs of po
lice and state's attorneys approved a
proposal of Governor Horner for unit
ed action.
Two Still Missing.
Two men, Charles F. Urschel,
Oklahoma City oil millionaire, and
John J. O'Donnell, jr., of Albany, N.
Y., apparently were still in the hands
of their captors.
In San Antonio, Tex., Adolph
Galle, a parking lot operator, report
ed to police he was released early
Friday by kidnapers who held him
captive and forced him to sign three
bank checks.
The new world police organization
was formed at a meeting of Amer
ican, Canadian and European police
officials attending conference spon
sored by Barron Collier, special de
puty police commissioner of New
York, the international police con
ference and the International Asso
ciation of Chiefs of police.
Two headquarters will be estab
lished by the international police;
one probably at Washington and the
other at either Geneva or Vienna.
Purpose of Organization.
The purpose of the new organiz
ation, a statement said, is "to ex
pedite police information pertaining
to international crime and inter
national criminals." j
Proposed by Governor Horner, the
nucleus of the antikidnaping alliance
will be a central clearing house for
information about criminal s and
crime.
Under the Illinois plan, the state
highway police would co-operate
with local authorities in running
down criminals, the United States
attorney general's office would as
sist in prosecution and the three
groups would be connected by a pri
vate system of communication.
"Extortion eanes operating in
Illinois must be crushed," the gover
nor told the assembled officials. "To
end their reign of terror we shall
use every ounce of power, every arm
of the state, every weapon we com
mand." World-Herald.
PRICE FLUCTUATION LIMIT

the nation's grain exchanges in rul
ing that price fluctuations in wheat
futures dealings hereafter shall be
limited to 5 cents a bushel up and

exchanges following last week's price
crash. The new limitations are in
line with recommendations made at
a conference in Washington early
this week between leaders of the
grain trade and federal farm admin

CONSIDER SPECIAL POLICE
Washington. President Roosevelt
is determined to throw the full force
of government behind the war on
armed crime. Aroused by the per
sistent run of kidnapings, he wants
a super-relief force of federal agent3
to assist local and state authorities.
. Already a staff is at work in the
department of justice. Millions ot
dollars and more men are contem
plated seriously by the administra
tion to beat down the traffic In hu
man life. Attorney General Cum
mings is working out a legislative
plan to give the federal government
greater power. .He is ready with
some details. An early conference
with the chief executive is in pros
pect. Effects of the federal attacks
are in evidence in the rounding up
of criminals in the midwest who have
been identified in recent kidnapings.
Mr. Roosevelt realizes that the con
stitution virtually restricts police
powers to the states but he has in
mind a federal force which may be
called into action at the request of
state and local authorities.
Tenant Farmers
are to Share in
Wheat Payments
Won't Lose Allotment by Changing
Farms This Fall, Accord
ing to M. L. Wilson.
Growers who planted or produced
wheat for the 1933 crop will receive
adjustment payments under the triple
A wheat plan this year, even tho
they are tenants and move this fall,
according to M. L. Wilson, chief of
the wheat production section of the
agricultural adjustment administra
tion in Washington.
This statement was interpreted
by the - "triple A" wheat plan ad
ministrators at the Nebraska agri
cultural college as a move by Wilson
to stop the plans of a few landlords
who are thinking of changing ten
ants immediately in order to get all
the benet payments for themselves.
"The administration is beginning
a three year wheat reduction plan,'
Wilson continued. "The payment
this fall is for the 1933 crop. Nature
did the reducing this year. The wheat
administration will help farmers in
the next two yars to hold the gains
made this year.
"The problem is. fairly simple
where tenants do not change on a
rented farm. The landlord and ten
ant agree to reduce their acreage and
the payment is divided between them
according to the share each gets of
the crop.
"The big problem arises when the
tenant is moving from the farm this
fall, as some are already planning.
Here the payment for 1933 must be
between the landlord and the tenant
who farmed the land in 1933.
Benefit Goes With Land.
"Suppose a tenant has 320 acres of
wheat in 1933. His share is two-
thirds of the crop and his average an
nual production is 3.200 bushels. The
owner decides to change tenants in
1934. He and the new tenant agree
to reduce the acreage to 256 acres
in 1934, if that reduction is re
quired. "Thetotal 1933 payment of about
$450 will be divided between the
owner and the 1933 tenant, with the
tenant getting $300 and the landlord
$150, paid in fall and spring install
ments. "The allotment right is attached
to the land and the owner must see
that succeeding tenants fulfill the
contract. The owner receives his
shareshare each year, and the re
mainder goes to the tenant who owns
the crop on which payment is based.
The tenant who farms the land for
the 1934 crop will receive his share
of such payments as are made on
that crop."
LEGION MEMBER SAYS THAT
MEMBERS BACK ROOSEVELT
Auburn, Neb., July 28. Robert
M. Armstrong, department command
er of the American Legion, issued a
statement Friday saying that the
members of the American Legion in
Nebraska "are unanimously in sup
port of the great constructive pro
gram of the president" for economic
recovery.
He added "every classification ot
business and labor is included in the
ranks of members. The legion has
devoted much time and energy to
problems of unemployment and re
lief. Thousands of members have
been out of work and suffered busi
ness reverses.
"We recognize that the economic
emergency today calls for the same
lcyal and unselfish patriotic service
and co-operation as in the war days
of 1917 and 191S."

MEETING JUST EXPERIMENT
New York. Senator James Couz
ens returned from London and said
the world economic conference was
"obviously an experiment, and only
the future will be able to determine
what, if any, of the work will be of
world benefit."
"When I left," said the only re
publican member of the American
delegation, "I made the statement
that, if nothing came out of the con
ference, I would return a rabid iso
lationist. While I am disappointed at
the outcome, I am not willing to ad
mit that the conference was a total
failure, and therefore I am willing
to contribute my efforts to a better
international co-operation."
The .Michigan multimillionaire
said his visit to London might well
be described as the education of
James Couzens. "I learned," he said,
"about international relations from
them."
No decision was made, the senator
said, as to when the conference would
reconvene, if it does. The action of
the plenary session. Senator Couzens
said, "indicates that it will be left
to what the League of Nations calls
a bureau, and what we generally call
in this country a steering commit
tee. Our country is represented on
this bureau by Secretary of State
Hull, who has faithfully attended all
the meetings, and I am perfectly will
ing to leave it to him to decide wheth
er the conference is likely to meet
again."

Trench Silo
Will Carry the
Cattle Thru
Is an Easy Way to Use Poor Com
and Supplement a Short
age of JIay.
Nebraska farmers will probably
make wide use of the trench silo
again this fall in putting up rough
age for winter use, says Prof. H. J.
Gramlich of the Nebraska agricul
tural college.
"The best insurance for salvag
ing damaged corn is the Eilo," Gram
lich declares. "The trench offers
something that is relatively new and
easy to build at little cash outlay.
Since there is a shortage of hay,
livestock men will need the rough
age to carry their stock thru the win
ter months."
Tho above ground silos used to be
popular in Nebraska, many farmers
have come to use the trench, that
costs but little. It is estimated that
over 2,000 of these were used dur
ing the past year. All users have re
ported satisfactory servcie.
Usually farmers find it advisable
to dig their trenches ten to twleve
feet wide with the side walls sloping
in slightly, with a narrower bottom.
In depth they usually range from six
to ten feet. One of the big advan
tages of the trench is the case with
which ensilage can be packed. Horses
make good packers. A team driven
back and forth does a good job of
packing the ensilage.
To Save Poor Corn.
Gramlich says ensilage is a good
livestock feed, even tho made from
damaged crops. Cattle do well on
it thru the winter months. In tests
conducted at the college of agricul
ture in Lincoln, steers have gained
around 1 1-2 pounds per day upon a
feed of ensilage supplemented with
a little alfalfa hay.
The college of agriculture animal
husbandry head says there is at
least one. field of corn on every farm
which falls short of making a good
crop. Usually it is worth more in
the form of ensilage than in any
other form. Late planted corn could
well be used for ensilage, Gramlich
says.
Some Nebraska farmers also use
cane to a good advantage as an en
silage crop. They have found, how
ever, that it should be well matured
when cut. Sudan grass makes splen
did ensilage and should be grown in
rows in order to cut and handle effi
ciently. Even atlas sorgo has been
used with success by livestock pro
ducers as an ensilage crop. The
plant, developed at the Kansas ex
perimental station, is fairly well
adapted to southern and central Ne
braska conditions.
SLASHES COLLEGE BUDGETS
Oklahoma City. Governor Murray
slashed heavily into what he calls the
"frills" of college education, direct
ing major reductions in the budgets
of the physical education, music and
law branches of the University ol
Oklahoma for the three fall months.
"That's enough fiddlers," he observed,
whacking the violin department from
a requested $1,160 to $600. "This
seems sufficient for holding ball
games," he added, slicing the depart
ment of physical education to $730.
It had asked $1,363.
Numerous well known members of
the law school faculty were slashed
to a maximum of $300 a month for
the first quarter, while most of the
athletic faculty will get a maximum
of $150 a month. Ben G. Owen, di
rector of athletics, was cut from $209
to $150 altho he gets an additional
stepend from the Athletic associa
tion. Hugh McDermott, basketball
coach was cut from $332 to $150;
John Jacobs, track coach, from $332
to $150; Paul Keen, wrestling coach,
from $240 to $140, and Bruck Drake,
instructor, from $240 to $140.
ROOSEVELT SMOOTHES BUT
Washington. Persistent reports
of serious differences of opinion be
tween Secretary Hull and Assistant
Secretary Moley of the state depart
ment while about Washington, but
they bounced back Friday from the
white house as it was stated unoffi
cially but authoritatively that Moley
will continue in his present post.
President Roosevelt appears to have
smoothed over the first serious rift
in his official family.
He has been in frequent consulta
tion with Moley, his intimate adviser
before entering the white .house, since
the return of the assistant secretary
from the London economic confer
ence. He has yet to talk with Secre
tary Hull, now en route home, but
it ws confidently stated the present
setup in ths state, department is ex
pected to continue.

Militant Mood
Now is Spreading
Over the Country
Kidnapers, Bandits and Gunmen are
Arousing Public President
Calls for Action.
Washington, July 28. On a dozen
fronts the agencies of federal govern
ment fought crime today.
At Washington, at Albany, in the
middle west and on the Pacific coast
there were new evidences of determi
nation to crush the kidnap breed.
President Roosevelt let it be plain
ly known he desires established a
reliable force of federal agents to step
in and check the growth of organized
crime, especially kidnaping.
Governors of states, meeting in San
Francisco, added their voices to de
mands for action.
Federal Aid to Limit
Attorney General Cummings assert
ed today after a conference with
President Roosevelt, that whatever
money is needed will be spent by the
government to beat down kidnaping
rackets. -
"The fight has to be won; we are
going ahead to the limit," he avowed.
It was revealed that organization of
some kind of national police force is
underconsideration a modified form
of Scotland Yard.
President Roosevelt assured police
representatives of various nations of
his support for organization of an in
ternational bureau to combat crime.
The men who called at the White
House represented the International
Criminal Police Division, the Inter
national Association of Chiefs of Po
lice and the International Police
Conference. The group convenes In
conference at Chicago tomorrow.
Public's Wrath in Evidence
In several parts of the country
there were definite signs today that
public indignation against criminals
was having results. Roger Touhy and
three men classified as members of
his Chicago gang, are held at Mil
waukee on charges growing out of
the William Hamm, Jr., kidnaping in
St. Paul. A former convict on trial in
Kansas City for the kidnaping last
May, of Mary McElroy, daughter of
the city manager, has just been con
victed and sentenced to be hung. At
St. Louis, authorities told of a con
fession that they hope will speed so
lution of the kidnaping of August
Luer. of Alton, 111., July 11.
Elsewhere there was other evidence
of public wrath against the recent
successful forays of criminals. The
director of the department of public
safety of Indiana called for the orga
nization of modern "minute men" in
every community. These groups
would spring Into action at first word
of any crime and by the use of com
munication systems, operating thru
a central station, would draw a net
tightly around the fleeing despera
does. Fight Gunmen and Bandits
Mayor Kelly, of Chicago, called on
the police to rid the city of gunmen
following the recent slaying of three
officers.
In Morrison, Tenn., citizens fought
bank robbers, an evidence of public
determination to drive out crime.
One member of the posse was killed
and iwp men were captured. -
" Despite the attack on crime by
these several agencies, acts of vio
lence showed no 6igns of abating.
Two men still are In the hands of kid
napers Lieut. John J. O'Ccunell. Jr.,
of Albany, N. V., and Charles F. Urs

been missing nearly three weeks, held

nounced, communicated any de
mands. At Boston, Theodore C. Haffenref
fer, head of one of New England's
largest breweries, was cloHcly guard
ed today from those who attempted
to extort $15,000 under threat of
death. The brewer was in seclusion
at a South Hampton, N. H., summer
home.
AIMEE TO ALLOW DIVORCE
Chicago. David L. Hutton, oue
time singer of religious song grown
stage conscious, apparently can ob
tain his divorce from hl3 evangelist
wife without opposition. Mrs. Aimeo
Semple McPherson Hutton arrived
here on her way to the west coast
and her flock at Angelus temple,
shook her golden head and sighed.
Regarding the divorce action
brought against her, she said: "1
could sue successfully on grounds of
non-support but that is not a Biblo
reason. You know the Bible is quite
plain about grounds for divorce. So
I am not inclined to fight the suit.
David and I have been away from
each other for six months but in all
that time I had daily letters and
cables protesting his love."
Informed of David's introductory
statement to his vaudeville audience
at Los Angeles "You know I married
an angel," Mrs. Hutton smiled. "And
I thought he was an angel when I
married him. I hope he doesn't be
come a fallen angel."
