More U. S. 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."
GOVERNOR LEHMAN ILL
New York. Governor Lehman suf
fered a sudden attack of appendicitis,
his secretary announced. He said an

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."

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. Exploration of the Inundated sec
tions continued energetically and the
number of bodies of victims discov
ered increased. 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.
! ""'If'you have any reasons why the
farmer should not be given the same
consideration as banks and insurance
companies, which by government
edict have been protected in posses
sion of their property in order that
they may be able to function and
serve society. I would be interested
in having Euch reasons," Reno wrote.
16 DEAD IN STORM

missing was the known toll of storm.?
and floods which affected a fifty mile
strip from Toulon to the Pyrennees
along the Mediterranean. It was
feared other lives also have been lost.
Among the dead were seven members
of one family who drowned at Mont
