To See MacNIder.

While In Cedar Rapids he is to meet ex-Commander MacNIder of the American Legion. With the passing of Hoover to other fields and the disbanding of the crowd of mora than 15.000 who swamped Wett Branch for his homecoming, the great day in the village history passed into the realm of memories which most of the 700-odd natives will often recall. It was here that the Republican standard bearer gave his second message to the country, one dealing first with boyhood memories unit Mvnnrilv with farm relief. The crowd manifested its approval of his promise to call in the leading farmers of the country, among them former Gov. Frank O.

Lowden of Illinois, in an effort to find a common ground upon which we can find a common solution." Hoover Speech. In discussing agriculture Mr. Hoo ver ssid in part: Just as there Is transformation in agriculture, so there Is In other in dustry; just as there more speciali zation on the larm, so mere is in other industry. We live today by the exchange of goods among 10,000 sorts of producers of specialties. A large number or occupations wnicn were conducted on the farm in old days are now conducted in the factory.

That is one reason why we have a decreasing rjrouortlon of our people on the farms. By this revolution the American farmer has become enmeshed in powerful and yet delicate economic forces which are working to his disadvantage. Tn my acceptance sDeecn ten days ago I made an extended statement upon the legislative proposals for relief to the agricultural industry which the Republican party has put for ward in its platform. I should like to emphasize that the spirit of those legislative proposals is to work out a more economical and stable marketing system. A Federal farm board is to be set up with the necessary power and resource to assist the in dustry to meet not alone the varied problems of today, but those which may arise in the future.

My fundamental concept of agri culture is one controlled by its own members, organized to fight Its own economic battles and to determine its own destinies. Nor do I speak of organization in the narrow sense of traditional farm co-operatives or pools, but in the much wider sense of a sound marketing organization. It is not by these proposals intended to put the Government into the control of the business of agriculture, nor to subsidize the prices of farm products and pay the losses tnereon eitner oy the Federal Treasury or by a tax or fee on the farmer. We propose with governmental assistance and an initial advance of capital to enable the agricultural industry to reach a stature of modern business operations by which the farmer will attain his independence and maintain his In dividuality. "In formulating recommendations for legislation to carry out the proposals of the party, I trust that we may have the full assistance of the leaders of agricultural thought.

I am not insensible to the value of the study which sincere farm leaders have given to this question of farm legislation. They have all contributed to the realization that the problem must be solved. They will be invited into conference. Outstanding farmers such as Governor Lowden will be asked to join in the search for common ground upon which we can act."

NIGHT CLUB QUIZ RESUMED BY JURY AS TUTTLE LEAVES Continued from Page nt to Tuttle, got the subpenas but told the clerk of the court who produced them that Morrison wanted them. From Washington came reports that Mrs. Willebrandt was waiting with some Impatience the report of Morrison about the New York affair. And It was said that she planned to come here herself to take charge If she deemed it necessary.

She would nnt comment on that possibility officially. Mrs. Wlllrbrandt't Position. "Nothing will be allowed to handicap the Government's investigation," she Insisted after declaring that she never discussed pending cases with the newspapers. Meanwhile the Tuttle plan was followed in New York yesterday and today.

Some of the witnesses who had Grand Jury subpenas were invited down to the Federal building and questioned in private and under a heavy veil of secrecy yesterday. But they were not before the Grand Jury. Ten policemen were scheduled to report for questioning this morning as local officials determined to go ahead with the Tuttle plan at least until superior officers ordered it stopped. But Tuttle ordered his assistants to refuse to give out the names of those called. He went even further than that by issuing a blanket order that "whatever assistant gives out names of witnesses hands In his reienation at the same time." That threat served Us purpose, and the witnesses were protected at all times.

Some Names Are Revealed. But, of course, some names crept out. Wililam C. Glddlngs of the brokerage firm of Glddines St 50 Broadway; Stanley R. "Zeno, president of the Zeno Company, manufacturers; T.

Wallace Orr, Monroe Von Mayhoff and several others were questioned. Some of the witnesses gave names which did not prove to be their own or else their offices were at fault When checkups were made. It was impossible to learn exactly how many "patron witnesses" had been called, so strict was the silence imposed on the Federal Building. Tuttle himself would not tell, nor would Assistant United States Attorney Kerwin, who helped In the questioning. Some reports were that a total of 500 had been asked to come downtown and process servers estimated that at least 125 subpenas were served on leaders in the city's $fe In the great Grand Jury drive.

Today was police day, or the schedule called for such a day. So uncertain was the entire situation, however, that no one could tell from one minute to the next what was going to happen. An instance of that was In the events of Monday when at 12 o'clock Tuttle told reporters officially that the witnesses would not go be lore the Grand Jury. At 12:30, four men had gone into the Grand Jury room and had testified. By 1 o'clock Tuttle had enforced his earlier statement and stopped the whole proceeding.

It has never been made clear why those four men went before the Grand Jury when it was obvious that Tuttle had already decided on the "invita tion" method. Nor has It been de termlned who ordered them into the Grand Jury room until Tuttle act' ually put his foot down.

"The showing of the track team," said Head Coach Lawson Robertson, "is satisfactory and yet disappointing. That may sound paradoxical, but rme. statement Justifies the other.

The Europeans have learned the tech' nlque ot track athletics, and from now cn it will be harder than ever for the United States to win. Not only the Europeans but the other 40 odd nations have advanced greatly. Diet Was Perfect. "A for this talk of improper diet, it is a gross misrepresentation of fact, the figment of somebody's fertile imagination. There were two menus, one for the athletes and another for the passengers aboard.

The athletes were given nothing to eat that was not in strict accord with training diet." The older athletes, veterans of other Olympiads, agreed that this was the best-managed team that had ever been sent across. Johnny Weiss muller, who captured the 100-meter freestyle swim, setting a new Olympic record, was of the opinion that it was the best thing in the world for the team to be quartered aboard the President Roosevelt at Amsterdam. "It served to keep the gang closer togetner," ne said. If one were to pick out the two very happiest persons among that boatload of athletes, Ray Barbutl of Inwood, L. the only American to win a race on the track, and Betty Robinson of Chicago, winner of the 100-meter dash for women, would be elected.

Barbutl Tells How He Did It. Barbutl came bouncing off the gangplank with three pairs of Dutch wooden shoes over his shoulders and two canes in his hand. On board on the force and who was on special duty at the jail. Armstrong struck Nolan on the shoulder with a cane, breaking It in two, the Court was told. Then there was a fist fight, Nolan being unable to get out his blackjack, and the negro was knocked out with a blow under the heart.

Nolan then took the negro to the Gotes Avenue Station "I commend you for your restraint," Magistrate Reynolds told Nolan. "II some other officer had been in your place, the prisoner would have been unable to appear in court today. I don't see how you didn't lose your head." Armstrong was held in $2,500 ball for examination Monday on a charge of felonious assault, WE YD, SOCIALIST RADIO STATION, IS VICTOR IN FIGHT ueis reaerai commissions Authority to Stay on Air License Renewed From Sept.

McCarl's decision pointed out that according to law the Personnel Classification Board was supposed to make the deductions from the salaries for living allowances but had refused to do so because of the hazardous nature of the employment, which In the judgment of the board "Justifies allowances without reductions from salaries." McCarl said that he was reluctant to take formal action pending action by the Personnel Board, but that in the absence of any action of the Personnel Board it was the duty of his office and the Interior Department to take the necessary step. He directed the Interior Department to proceed at once with preparation of a list al allowances to Dr. White and his subordinates which would be subtracted from salaries beginning Oct.

1. The Personnel Board must therefore act by Oct. 1 or all of the employees will suffer actual salary reductions. McCarl's ruling today is understood to be an outgrowth of the investigation made by his office a year or so ago into St. Elizabeth's Hospital.

It may have far-reaching effect In other Government departments where allowances are not deducted from salaries.

Albany awoke today to heavy skies and a driving rain. The Weather Bureau Issued a bulletin predicting clear weather tonight, but during the morning and afternoon rain continued to fall in torrents.

On that occasion John W. Davis delivered his speech of accept ance In a downpour. No normal amount or rain will drive Governor Smith Indoors tonight. The Assembly unamoer, to wnicn It may be necessary to retreat if weather conditions are extreme, will not accommodate more than a few hundred persons.

This was in 1884. when Gov. Grover Cleveland accepted the Democratic nomination in a simple cere mony at the Executive Mansion.

BUILDER KRASLOW, BANKRUPT, TAKES POISON IN WOODS Continued from Page day said he was not surprised when informed that Mr. Kraslow probabiy had taken his life because of business reverses. "I have always found Mr.

Kraslow a thoroughly honest man," said Mr. Steinbrlnk, "who always worked out his own plans and always paid 100 cents on the dollar in straightening out his debts. I should Judge that about two or two and a half years ago Mr. Kraslow's personal fortune was about $60,000 or $700,000. "There was a dispute between Mr.

Kraslow and one of his business associates which resulted in this man filing a mechanics' lien against Mr. Kraslow. Immediately following this, they all Jumped on him and there was a series of suits. In all fairness to Mr. Kraslow I want to say that I believe that if he had been let alone he would have worked out every detail of the plans he was then engaged upon." SO DAYS ON Rt'M CHARGE.
