Foster, internal revenue agent, will serve their terms In Alcatraz [ prison if District Attorney James . R. Fleming lia-s his way. Fleming said here today that he would ask Attorney General Homer S. Cummings to transfer the convicted murderers from Leaven- ■ worth, Kan., to the "American Devil's Island” in San Francisco Bay. refurnished several years | ago by the department of justice for Incarceration of “dangerous , federal criminals. Crouch a.nd Jacobs, Indianapolis rum runners, were sentenced by Federal District Judge Thomas W. Slick after pleading guilty in sec-, ond degree murder charges. Justice dealt a swift and hard blow to Crouch and Jacobs, who received life sentences on second degree murder charges, in a little more than a month after the crime wa.s committed. Foster was murdered on Mayl4 near St. John, Ind., while he and another officer were pursuing the i car of suspected rum runners. Jacobs, captured a few hours after the slaying, made a statement, investigating agents said, in which he attributed the shoot I ing to Crouch. Officers took 1 Crouch into custody In Indianapolis two weeks ago. Immediately after Crouch s arrest, District Attorney Fleming quickly summoned a special federal grand jury panel into session at South Bend. The grand jury returned first and second degree murder Indictments against the pair on Thursday, June IS, at South Bend.

ing Compliance Adams county farmers who are planning to apply for soil-conser-vation grants this fall are being urged to obtain evidence now that ! they are performing in line with the standards set up for the 1936 farm program "Statements of proof certified . at the time performance is made may save cooperating farmers a . lot of trouble or entbarrasment i 1 later on.” says I. E Archbold, [county agent. . ’ The necessary proof of perform ante may be obtained by having a , statement signed by a community , committeeman or by at least two , neighboring farmers. This evi deuce should be kept by the farmer until it is requested later this i year, when community committee- ! men check the extent of performance on his farm and determine , his eligibility for a grant. | A statement of proof should con i tain the following information [Jilt The name of the county, and I ' the township or other minor civil . division; (2) the number of the . work sheet which has been tilled t out for the farm; (3) receipts for '. the purchase ot any seed or other amterials; (4) proof of the kind '.'and amount of seed sown or raater- ' [ ial applied, and the method ot’ seeding, or application; (5) the date the seeding was made or when the practice was adopted;

wnen uie iuu’ulc (6) the number of acres upon which the practice was follawed, i and adequate identification ot the j acreage; (7) the name of the orator and landlord, it any. and (8) ! any other material whl c h may serve to support a farmers evi-i dence of performance. One of the prvisions of the pro- [ gram states that a good stand ofo ' any soil-conserving crop will constitute proof of performance—un-; less the secretary ot agriculture [ approves other proofs. As Mr. Archbold pointed out, questions will' come up this fall as to whether - the stand is good enough to provide satisfactory proof. Coooperat-1 ing farmers therefore may be re- [ [quested to furnish other evidence.' Relative to soil-building practlces for class two payments, evi- ! dence may be required to prove I that only such methods and such kinds and quantities of seeds, | trees, and other materials were used as conform to good farming practice. Likewise, this fall, it may be impossible to determine wheth!er certain pasture Improvements [ were made last spring of if and where lime, phosphates, or potash were applied. “It would be advisable, therefore, to have statements of proof Jon hand if requested by commit- [ teernen when performance is ’checked.' 'Mr. Archbold concluded. o - Register Unemployed Here Saturday, July 11 W. A. Ivison, supervisor of registration in the state re-employment division, will bo In Decatur Satur . day.

Garner Is Renominated This Morning By The Convention; Allred Makes Nomination. FINAL SESSION Philadelphia, June 27— (U.R) — Democrats today formally ratified their 1936 election ticket, nominating John N. Garner for a second term as vice-presidential running mate to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Vice-President Garner was placed in nomination by Gov. James AJlred of Texas, it was the final session of the convention. The nomination was approved quickly by the delegates who straggled slowly Into the sparsely populated I hall. Enthusiasm was low after the I crashing demonstration that rnark'ed yesterday’s nomination of

President Roosevelt. Many were resting for the finaj event — Mr Roosevelt’s acceptance speech to- - night. The nominating proceedings were delayed more than an hour after the convention met to allow time for the arrival of more delegates. In the interim the new I Democratic national committee reI ceived formal approval and resolutions of thanks and appreciation , were adopted. Allred, expressing the pride of Texas in its illustrious son who was lifted from the speakership of the house to the vice-presidency as Mr Roosevelt's running mate in 1932, pointed out that his man > had been born in ”a rude log cabin." • | His oratory pushed the 1936 , new deal-Democratic convention toward its close. After the custo- . mary demonstration, the second- > ing speeches, and Garner's nom- . ination by acclamation, as Mr. Roosevelt was nominated, the convention had only the routine busiI nets ot naming a national comI mittee before adjourning sine die until 1940. But tonight, before au I open audience of approximately r 100,000, beneath blazing klelg ~ lights, before radio microphones. I the new deal will stage a mammoth political rally. In that sets ting, with the nation as an audi- ,, ence. President Roosevelt and r Vice-president Garner will be notified of their honors, and both will

accept. Allred began with a headlong assault on the Republican party. ‘‘We have been hearing a lot about ‘three long yews’,” he said. "I don’t blame the Republican party for their expressed desire to change from 'Three Blind i Mice’ to ‘Three Long Years.' It ' has been so refreshing to the people of this country to have ’three long years of good government after ‘three long years' of the I 'see nothing, hear nothing, do nothing’ governent with which this country was afflicted aftefl . our great ww president, WoodrowWilson.” But it was not long before be (CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX) 0 YOUTHS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY , Jefferson Township i Youths Charged With Petit Larceny I Erneet and Howard Wi’lhoff of f Jefferson township were arrested this morning and lodged in the Ad--8 aims county Jail on petit larceny ■' charges preferred by Gee R- Green of Portland. Mr. Green alleged that the two 1 boys stole an anvil steam blower ! and other equipment which his oil 3 . i business had stored on a farm in L t Adams county. The alleged theft i-. took place on May 11. The boys are n. accused of selling the material in ,y Ohio. h, The value of the loot was placed ir at $24 The boys may be arraigned 11-! before Judge Huber M. DeVoss in j the Adams circuit court today.
