Declares Moratorium on Political

Too Much to Do.

litical speeches until October was de

much to do to take time to prepare

lotte, N. C, Sept. 10, at Washington

ference, and at the Harvard univer
sity tercentennial Sept. IS. Rut all
these will be nonpolitical speeches,
the president said.
He has put a trip to drouth states,
for which he linishcel the itinerary,
in the same nonpolitical classifica
tion. The program calls for him to
visit nine drouth states between Aug.
23 and Sept. 5 anel confer on drouth
problems with Governor Landon and
11 other executives.

finance committee. The president
told news men Farley was merely to
report on the current campaign out
look. When the president mentioned
that he planned no more speeches be
tween Sept. 18 at Harvard and the
end of the meinth, he was asked if
that meant no political speeches un
til October. He replied that that is
the way it looks now, and reminded
reporters gathered in the study of his
home that he did not start his cam-1
paign in 1932 until September.
When someone remarked that Al
fred E. Smith had begun his presi
dential campaign in mid-August, Mr.
Roosevelt grinned, and then remark
ed that Smith wasn't president of
the United States at the time.
At his press conference, the presi
dent said he expected Secretary Wal
lace to be aboard his special train
on the drouth states trip, along with
Harry L. Hopkins, WPA administra
tor; Robert Fechner, CCC director;
H. II. Bennett of the soil erosion
service, and a representative of the
reclamation bureau. He said he ex
pected to contact the great plains
drouth committee either in Bismarck
or I'ierre.
REJECTS EASY MONEY OFFER
Chicago. Desk Sergeant Daly
blinked in amazement as an uniden
tified little man shuffled into the
27th district police station and calm
ly outlined to the startled officer a
planto make some "easy money"
which he offered to "split" with the
sergeant.
"It's a simple plan," the little
fellow told Daly. "It goes like this:
You send a policeman to my home
and tell my wife that I am held in
jail for want of $25 bail. Of course
she'll hurry right over to the station
here and when she- arrives the idea
is lor her to find me in a cell. With
a background like that how can she
suspect?
"Now then, alter she hands over
the $25 ym send her home, release
me; from the cell and we split. You
get $10 and I get $15, simple little
plan isn't it. Nothing to go wrong."
Av go on home," said the sergeant
easing the unidentified schemer to
the door. "You bore me with your
brilliant idea:;."

LAD WILL SEE RUFO SWAIN
Chicago. Seven year old Jimmy
Thompson, who said he saw a "big
black man" kill his mother, Mrs.
Florence , Thompson Castle, was re
ported to be in Chicago to confront
Rufo Swain, 27, indicted as the slay
er of Mrs. Mary Louise Trammell, in
a similar hotel room case.
Assistant State's Attorney Meyers
said he was informed Jimmy was
at a north side hotel and would have
him view the huge, athletic Negro
who, Meyers said, confessed he beat
Mrs. Trammell to death with a water
pitcher. Handwriting experts also
checked Swain's writing with the
crude scrawl "Black Legon game"
which the slayer of Mrs. Thompson
in the previous unsolved case had
left on the bedroom mirror. Swain's
arraignment was continued until
Aug. 24 at the reeiucst of Assistant
State's Attorneys Meyers and Emmett
Moynihan, who said they wanted to
keep the Negro in custody for further
questioning.
TOO FAST FOR COINS
Omaha. An attempt is being made
by postal clerks to keep all bitters
containing coins out of mail pouches
intended for the new high speed
streamlined trains. There are times,
however, when one of the letters
slips by and gets tossed into a bag
that will be snatched from a hang
ing arm by a" stream liner. When
the clerk in the mail car empties
the mail sack the coin is found at
the bottom. The terrific speed of the
train at the time the pouch is snatch
ed from the hook sends the coin
crashing to one end of the envelope
and, according to Mail Superintend
ent J. H. Musgrave "No matter how
tough the envelope, any coin will go
thru it as if shot from a gun."
Horel Murder Victim
Sirs. Mary Louise Trammell

clue of a worn address book be
lieved left behind by the killer.
Chicago police directed their hunt
for a Negro prowler in trying to

Louise Trammell, above, fourth
woman victim among recent hotel
killings in Chicago. 'Her nude
and battered body was discovered
