Help for Railroads is Roosevelt Aim Offers Loans to Purchase Rolling Stock and Steel Supplies Spur to Trade. Hyde Park, N. Y., Sept. 27. President Roosevelt today offered railroads a federal loan for immed iate purchase of new equipment. He made known that the good of fices of the government would be used to compile the needs of the carriers for new stock with the purpose of making a single gigantic order which is expected to bring lower steel prices as in the collective deal for new rails. This whole program is expected to spur industry in general. Stopping at the front porch of his home before motoring for a look at the agriculture pursuits on the place, Mr. Roosevelt talked with newspaper men accompanying him. Silent on Expansion. As for an immediate statement on his credit expansion plans, he simply said he had been interested in the reports about this. He' predicted none but there is every prospect that be fore he returns to Washington, Mr. Roosevelt will make a speech or two which will tell the peoplo just what he is thinking in the way of the fu ture. t . The president feels' that if the idle mcney in closed banks and in other deposits is put to use, a fair test can be made of the needs fo credit. Ap parently he is convinced that these funds, will provide . the backing for his price-lifting campaign for agri culture and Industry., Union Pacific, New-flaven - -Place Orders for Rails ' New York, Sept.-. 27. President Roosevelt's desire that the railroads of the nation aid the steel industry by placing orders for rails received a bool today with the announcement by two roads of the; purchase of 40 thousand tons of rails in lots of 20 thousand tons each. J. J. Pelley, president, of the New- York, New Haven & Hartford, and C. R, Gray, president of the Union Pacific, said their lines had placed or ders for the new rails. Mr. Roosevelt expressed the wish that the roads would buy up 750 thousand tons of Tails this year. These two commitments today raises the total tonnage under the president's "buy now" drive to ap proximately 100 thousand tons. Some rail officials here indicated they were reserving their announce ment in anticipation of an announce ment by the steel industry reducing the present price of $40 a ton. Weld-Herald. CONDEMNS CREDIT AGENCY Omaha. George Christopher, Cherry county rancher, said here that ranchers thruout the western range country are dissatisfied with the way farm credit agencies of the govern ment are functioning. "Government bureaus set up to help the farmers and ranchers don't have one practical ranch man on their staffs," he said: "If they're go ing to help ranchers, they ought to hire a few men who have been in the ranching business and know our problems." All ranchers ask, he commented, is that the price of beef on the hoof be in fair proportion to the whole sale and retail prices of hide and somewhere when the cattle grower gets less money for beef and consum ers pay more than they did," he add ed. Christopher praised Charles C. Kuning, manager of the Omaha branch, regional agricultural corpor ation, saying "he has done more than any of these government men to help farmers and ranchmen get a fair price for their livestock."

Camps for Transient Idle will be Fixed Hitch Hiking to Be Fought on Na tionwide Basis, According to Relief Director Hopkins. Chicago. A program to take ev ery transient unemployed person both professional hoboes and recent depression victims off the highways and freight trains and plac them in stead in "concentration centers" was revealed by Federal Emergency Re lief Director Hopkins. He told the United States conference of mayors that the federal government soon would remove completely from the shoulders of local relief organizations the burten of supporting transients. "Hitch hiking on the highways will be combatted on a nationwide basis," Hopkins said. "So will bum ming on freight trains. City and state authorities will be called upon to pick up transients on local vag rancy laws and turn them over to federal authorities. Concentration centers will be established in every state, probably several of them in more populous states, and in them the transient will be given a new chance in life." Hopkins said that in addition to proper food, clothing, housing and medical care the transients would be given opportunity for education. He said "white collar" workers ot whom he said thousands had become transients in recent months would serve as instructors in the camps. "About 75 percent of the hundreds cf thousands of transients on the road at present," Hopkins said, "are recent victims of the depression, as distinguished from hoboes of long standing. Conditions for them are intolerable. Scanty relief is given them by local authorities. Often they are driven from city to city poorly fed, improperly dressed, and with no housing facilities. Such conditions must not continue." Hopkins told the mayors the com missary system of providing reliel thru grocery orders was undermin ing the morale of 15,000,000 unem ployed. He declared work relief or distribution of cash to be the only satisfactory and humane systems. "We must face the facts as tc the huge numbers of unemployed in the ' r-atioh.'f ' Hopkins declared. "Prior to last March, that informa tion was a deep, dark secret. We have determined now, however, that the number at that time wa3 4,SOO,000 families or about 20 million indi viduals. There has been improve ment, the figure at the end of last August being about 3,200,000 families." APPLES GET YOUR SUPPLY NOW! Apples are the cheapest fruit available.

Havana Streets a Battleground with Four Dead Soldiers and Communists in Deadly Clash American Wounded During Fray. Havana. Soldiers and communists turned Havana's broadest avenues in to battle grounds late Friday send ing to morgues and hospitals four dead and twenty-five wounded. Among the wounded was Joe Gibson, 46, an American newsreel photog rapher. Six of the wounded, including Capt. Hernandez Ruda of the army, may die. Gibson was one of several photographers taking pictures from the roof of a hotel. Five shots struck him in the leg. None of the other photographers was injured. Scattered shooting still resound ed thru empty ctreets at night and students Eaid unknown persons were firing haphazard from speeding auto mobiles. The clatter of machine guns and the firing of rifles and pistols reduced uptown Havana to a scene of the wildest disorders as students and ABC radical members joined the heaviest army forces ever to patrol Havana streets. The early outbreaks of shoot ing centered along Reina street, where communists were reported to have sniped at the soldiers from the top of the Anti-Imperialist league headquarters. The communist demonstration was in honor of Julio Antonio Mella, a student leader killed in Mexico in 1929, whose ashes were brought here this week. Reports indicated one army captain .and .loux.. soldiers, in eluding one machine gunner, were among the wounded. The captain Hernandez Ruda, was in a critical condition. Later in the afternoon heavy firing began around the Diario de la Marina newspaper building. Persons enter ing the building said a number of persons were killed or wounded in the volleys of shots. The demonstra tion was to have been climaxed at a brick obelisk in the park, where Mella's ashes were to have been buried. The soldiers, however, stop ped men working on the memorial, destroyed it and then pqosted guards to see that no one approached. Suddenly riflle, pistol and machine gun fire began at a number of points. The thousands in the streets, includ ing throngs of curious, rushed for cover. A general strike called by the national confederation in connection with the Mtlla memorial demonstra tion had closed virtually all doors against them. Frightened household ers scurried into their doorways, bolt ing all tightly behind them. Two unidentified men and a 15 year old boy were the three of those killed. State Journal. STORM TCLL STILL MOUNTS Tampico. Shortage of food became acute in Tampico as relief workers strove to restore order in this oil port, laid waste by last Sunday's hurri cane.

Estimates of the dead varied from 300 to more than 500, while the toll of injured was esti mated at about 3,000. Strict martial law remained in force. Four more looters fell before firing squads, bringing the number of persons thus executed to ten. One estimate listed the damage done to ampico by the hurricane at more than 10 million dollars. This evidently did not include damage caused in other sections of the storm. As far as can ba ascertained no for eigners were killed by the hurricane or the floods that followed. The combined forces of wind and water destroyed or damaged almost every house in the city. RENO WANTS M0RAT0DIUM Des Moines. Milo Reno, presidt-nt of the Farmers Holiday association, in a letter sent to President Roose velt, asked why the farmer was not given equal consideration with other groups in protecting their assets. !

I would be interested in having Euch reasons," Reno wrote. 16 DEAD IN STORM Marseilles.
