Had a Peculiar Experience

A smile on her lips, but determina
tion in her heart, Joan Ridley, Eng
lish tennis star, is pictured as she
arrived at New York on the S. S.
Olympic to seek fresh laurels on the
courts. She will participate in the
national championships at Forest
Hills, L. L
to get some gas, he had a peculiar ex
perience and one that he will not
forget for quite some time. It so
happened that he drove a little past
the pump from which he desired to
secure the gas. He had gotten out of
the car, and so loosened the brake in
order that the car might settle back
to the desired spot. The ground be
ing sloping, the car did not "choose"
to stop once it started rolling, and
kept right on going something that
Adolph had not anticipated and all
that he could do to stop it was of no
avail, especially in his weakened con
dition following a recent stroke. The
car ran backwards across the street,
and shot through between the trees
near the bank and the building,
carrying Mr. Steinkamp with it and
squeezing him between the car ana
the brick wall of the building, con
tinuing on its way until it came to
an abrupt halt when it ran into a
coal shed at the rear, with some dam
age to both the shed and the car.
Mr. Steinkamp was so badly in
jured that he was compelled to take
to his bed for a few days. He is now
getting some better, although still
very sore, both externally and inter
nally. It was one time that the car
would run without gas, although no
body wanted it to do just that.
DENOUNCES POLICE TACTICS
Philadelphia. Mrs. Cornelia
Pinchot, dynamic wife of Pennsyl
vania's chief executive, extended her
picketing activities to Philadelphia

joined picket" lines at the Blue Moon
Silk Hosiery company plant, Mrs.
Pinchot telephone J. A. Lestrange,
acting superintendent of police in
Philadelphia, and criticized what she
termed disrespect of constitutional
rights of the strikers.
Mrs. Pinchot drove from her home
in Milford to pledge her support to
the strikers' cause. She addressed a
gathering of 1.S00 at Croyden and
then conferred with a group of strik
ers from the Cambria Silk Hosiery
company plant in Philadelphia be
fore telephoning Lectrange. I am
informed the police at the Cambria
mill are as bad as deputy sheriffs at
Lansdale and in the soft coal fields
of Fayette county,55 she told him.
KEN ADVANCED FROM BANKS

Hyde Park. President Roosevelt
approved plans of the navy for con
struction of twenty-one new -warship
in the 23S-miIlion-dollar build
ing program,.
The president carefully analyzed
the bids recently received by the navy
and the allotments decided on by the
commanders. His approval signalled

ar.d private shipyards.
Admiral William Slandley, chiel

graia to the summer White House by

Mr. Roosevelt talked the plans over
with his naval chieftains and after
giving his approval with them the
formal announcement of assignments
to yards for construction of the
ships.
The start of America's huge naal
construction comes just after word
from Japan of the start of a build
ing program there.
Mr. Roosevelt's ship building plan
comes under the public works pro
gram and is intended to give the
American fleet the strength it is al
lowed under existing naval limita
tions agreements.
Both republicans and democrats in
congress have urged that the Amer
ican fleet be built up to the terms
allowed by the London agreement.
About 4 6 million dollars is to be
expended this year and a total of 238
million dollars over three years.

able. Other projects have been fully
submitted and are being studied.
The advisory board was notified

employment director, has begun his
survey of unemployment by counties.
Nr.employment conditions and the
usefulness and need of projects are
factors considered most in giving ap
proval. Projects already applied for and
their cost: Scottsbluff city auditor

SEEKS STOCK YAED CHANGE
Grand Island. E. P. Ryan, traffic
manager of the Grand Island cham
ber of commerce, has filed a petition
with the interstate commerce com
mission asking suspension of an or
der listing four Nebraska stock yards
as "public stock yards," and thus
limiting their time of reshipment of
feeder cattle to seventy-two hours.
The order involves yards in Grand
Island, Norfolk, York and Scotts
bluff, and Ryan claim- it is unjusti
fiable and injurious discrimination.
His petition asks also that an inves
tigation be held and a proper remedy
applied.
Limiting the time for reshipment
of inbound stocker and feeder cattle
at these points to seventy-two hours,
the petition sets forth, would have
the effect of drastically increasing
stocker and feeder rates into these
markets. The increases would in
volve amounts as much as $35 a car
load, the petition added.
CHALLENGES GANGSTER RULE
Chicag.o Joseph B. Keenan, as
sistant U. S. attorney general in
charge of the federal government's
drive against kidnaping, racketeer
ing and extortion, declared that the
national administration "will not
permit substitution of a government
of the underworld in place of lawfully
constituted authority." Speaking at
the joint banquet of the International
Association of Chiefs of Police and
International Association for Identi
fication, Keenan said that the gov
ernment is "in dead earnest" in its
campaign and urged co-operation of
local authorities.
"The efforts of the government in
this drive," Keenan said, "will be
first, to vigorously and relentlessly
enforce the federal law with parti
cular emphasis on suppression of the
crimes of kidnaping and other forms
cf threat and violence; second, to
attempt in a lawful and sound man
ner to lend itself as a co-ordinating
and co-operative law enforcement
agency in all communities."
COMPLAIN OF A SALESMAN
St. Louis. Selling the blue eagle
emblems to persons unauthorized to
buy them was charged In a federal
warrant issued against Harlan
French, a salesman. French's arrest
is believed to be one of the first on
Euch a charge. The warrant, issued
by United States Commissioner
Burke on complaint of Bryan Pur
teet, assistant United States attor
ney, further charges that French's
alleged violations of the provisions of
the recovery act obstructed and im
peded President Roosevelt's program.
Issuance of a warrant, Purteet said,
followed complaints that French sold
the emblems to employers who have
not signed the blanket code for short
er working hours and increased
wages. He added he was consider
ing the advisability of issuing war
rants against the unauthorized per
sons vLp purchased the emblems.
Purteet said French, who is being
held in jail at Clayton, was under
stood to be employed by a company
authorized to manufacture and sell
the emblems. I
FANNING FLAMES OF WAR
Tokyo. The usually conservative
Tokyo newspaper A5ahl gave a prom
inent place to "reliable reports" ot
a secret Chinese-American aviation
treaty which it said was recently ne
gotiated in Washington by Dr. S. Al
fred Sze, Chinese minister to Wash
ingto.n, and the American state de
partment. If the pact is made effec
tive, Asahi said, "it will gravely
menace Japan's national defenses,
wherefore the reports are claiming
the serious attention of the imperial
army." A foreign office spokesman
said his bureau had no knowledge
of such a treaty.
Washington. (William Phillips,
acting secretary cf state, said reports
in Japanese newspapers of a secret
Chinese-American aviation treaty
are entirely without foundation. The
Tokyo reports said such a treaty was
negotiated in Washington by the
Chinese minister and contemplated
expenditure by China of 40 million
dollars for American aircraft and the
employment of American fliers as In
ctructors. Similar reports have ap
peared in the orient of recent months
and on all occasions the state de
partment has declared them absurd.
STEAL FROM SCRUBWOMAN
, New York. Anastasia Kopy work
ed most of her forty-five years as a
menial to accumulate $6,700.- Now
she is penniless and her latest em
ployers are being held to the grand
jury charged with "the rottenest
crime" in the history of Magistrate
Earl A. Smith's court. Four years
ago Anastasia went to work for Jake
and Mollie Arnowitz, scrubbing
floors, washing, cleaning and cooking
for $35 a month. Hard times came.
She worked on for her board. The
Arnowitz pair learned one day of her
bank account. And they knew she
was ill. They persuaded her to turn
over her money to them and let them
arrange for an operation for her.
The operation was performed for
$100. When she was released from
the hospital where she nearly died
the Arnowitz denied she had given
them anything more than $100. They
told police she was "talking balmy."
The police believed Anastasia.
CHURCHES ARE UNDER NRA
Omaha. Even the churches are
lining up in the ranks of President
Roosevelt's NRA recovery army.
While some Omaha church officials
are out of town on vacations, others
announced that the "blue eagle" will
fly at their churches. The Catholic
diocesan offices have been placed
under the president's code at the
request of Bishop Joseph F. Ruramel.
Kountze Memorial Lutheran church
is among those flying the eagle. The
two pastors' assistants have had
their regular forty-five hour weeks
shortened to forty hours. A janitor
is hired on part time basis, as are
two parish workers.
Presbyterian regional headquarters
made the same report and Dr. H. Q.
Morton, executive secretary of the
Nebraska Baptist state convention:
said he has directed the office assist
ants "to go on forty hours."
CONTINUE RUL0 SERVICE
Atchison, Kas. Orders to con
tinue service on the forty-Sve mile
Atcbison-Rulo, Neb., urancii of the
Burlington railroad were received
from company's headquarters. Aban
donment of the line was ordered by
the interstate commerce commission
effective July 19. A postponement
was obtained by S. M. BrewEter,
United States district attorney rep
resenting communities of the line.
The postponement is understood to
be for the purpose of giving Brewster
time to plea for a re-hearing.
Burlington May
Drop Two of Its
Colorado Lines
Lcadville and Silver Plume Roads
No Longer Carry Fortune
Meeting- to Be Held.
Denver, Aug. 3. Like the ghost
towns that dot their steel trails two
Colorado railroads that have hauled
fabulous fortunes in gold and silver
soon may pass into oblivion, victims
of gasoline and rubber.
One line is the Colorado & South
ern South Park railroad that con
nected Denver with the boom mining
camp of Leadville in the days when
II. A. W. Tubor was making his mil
lions in silver. The other is the
Denver and Silver Plume link. In
cluding the famed Georgetown loop
that was the marvel of railroad en
gineering 50 years ago when it was
constructed.
A statement by Edward Flynn,
operating vice-president of the Bur
lington railroad, has revealed the
company will renew Its application
before the interstate commerce com
mission to abandon the Leadville
road. The application was filed three
years ago but action was delayed to
determine if the road could regain
business lost to busses and trucks.
Flynn said the volume of business
has decreased since that time.
The fate of the Silver Plume rests
with the residents along the line,
Flynn said. A meeting with shippers
will be held soon and If they agree
to give more business to the railroads
instead of to trucks and busses, Fynn
said the company will rebuild a por
tion of the line recently damaged by
floods and service will be resumed.
Both lines follow tortuous nar
row mountain canyons. At many
points the precipitous walls of the
canyon are so close passengers arc
warned not to extend their arms or
heads from the car windows. With
in a few feet of the other side of the
rails are rapid, foaming streams.
