Larkspur Is Favorite in Turf Event Blue Larkspur Tops Eleven Starters in Rich Cup Race. _• n CHICAGO.' JuIy 19.—Eleven crack thoroughbreds will go to the post at Arlington Park today to race for $40,000 and what course officials *ay will be the all-age championship of An.rrica. Although Gallant Fox. greatest 3-year-old of 1930, has not been entered, the competitors included many of the recognized leaders of the American turf. The Fox, withdrawn because of sulkiness, had been regarded as the odds-on favorite. The champion 3-year-old of last season. Blue Larkspur, was rated the favorite in the overnight books at odds of 7 to 5 and Toro was rated second at 8 to 1. Other entries were Sun Beau, Snowflake, Stars and Bars. Victorian. Maya. Galahad, Petee Wrack, Reveille Boy and Paul Bunyan, ranked in that order in the parimutuel machines. Much of the glamor was removed from the race, however, with the withdrawal of Gallant Fox and Misstep, the little bay western flash. The Fox became over-trained and refused to gallop even for the great Jockey, Earl Sande, and Misstep has a strained leg. The race will be run over the mile and a quarter distance and was expected to attract 50.000 persons to Arlington park. The track was dry and fast, with fair weather predicted.

REDS. FASCISTS HOPE FOR GAIN IN RHINELAND Germans Look Forward to General Elections on Sept. 14. BY FREDERICK KFH United Press Staff Correspondent BERLIN, July 19.—Germany, under a dictatorship, looked forward today to the Sept. 14 general elections as a chance to rectify the parliamentary unwieldiness which prevented the government from obtaining majorities on its financial measures and forced the dissolution ‘ of the Reichstag. It appeared today that an intensive campaign would be waged by j all parties, and that some of them undoubtedly would dwindle considerably in the new Reichstag, if they did not disappear altogether. The conservative parties will appeal to the electorate to choose a Reichstag that can give President Paul von Uindenburg and future cabinets a sufficient majority for a "safe and sane’’ policy in Germany. .All Seek Strength The more extreme parties, such as the Communists and Fascists, hoped that the elections would serve to their advantage by pulling them up from low representation in the Reichstag to positions of comparative strength. Much basis was given for the Communists’ confidence due to the large number of unemployed workers. many of whom are certain to support Communist candidates in the hope of bettering their condition. The anti-Semitic Fascists, who call themselves national Socialists, undoubtedly will form the greatest threat to the strength of the more conservative parties, however. With twelve deputies in the last Reichstag, they were in ninth position, but they are likely to move into third place in the new elections with only the Socialists and Catholics ahead of them. Nationalists in Split The ’’Nazis,” as they are known popularly, will gain chiefly at the expense of the Nationalists, who split for the second time Friday. Dr. Alfred Hugenberg remained as leader of the orthodox Nationalists, while the two seceding elements indicated they would combine under Dr. Gottfried Treviranus and Count j Westarp, and fight the orthodox; Nationalists for votes, v The folks party has ebbed considerably since the death of the late foreign minister, Dr. Gustav Stresemann, ana the Democratic j nd Economic parties also are likely j to lose several seats in September. J The Economic party is anew groftp j which captured twenty-three seats j in the 1928 elections. MOTOR CLUB HEAD TO DIRECT TRAFFIC QUIZ Todd Stoops Chairman of Grdup to Study City Needs. Todd Stoops, Hoosier Motor Club j manager, today headed the citizens’ j traffic committee which was appointed last week to recommend a solution to the local traffic problems. Walter O. Lewis, safety board sec- ; retary, was chosen secretary of the j committee at the organization meet- ! ing Friday. The committee, which j was named by Charles R. Myers, safety board president, has begun a careful city-wide study of traffic ailments and will recommend changes to the city councils. An entirely new traffic code, supplanting the Hoover model code which was worked out by the last council, was urged by William H. Book. Chamber of Commerce representative. Curtailment of downtown parking during the business hours will be considered. AGED MAN ROBBED BY PAIR OF BANDITS Two Taxi Drivers Lose $44 to Negro Holdup Men.

ARMY AND NAVY ! BUYING FOREIGN BEEF; OPEN QUIZ Hoover Orders Probe as Farm Problem Takes New Complication. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Pres* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 19.—The administration's acute farm problem took on another complication today due to purchase' abroad by the army and navy of beef and other food supplies at a time when American farmers are suffering from low prices due to domestic overptoduction. President Hoover has called a special joint board of the army and navy to investigate the situation today and to consider the possibility of having these two government agencies confine their food purchases to American products. Asa prelude to its deliberations, the charge was made Thursday that army and navy purchasers are buying yearly 6,500,000 pounds of beef from foreign nations for use in the Philippines, Hawaii, China and Panama. Chief foreign purchases are being made in New Zealand, Australia and Argentine, all three countries being competitors of American foreign meat trade. Meanwhile, the administration’s farm policies were assailed by Senator Caraway (Dem., Ark.), who said the farmer’s “pitiful plight’ is caused by the new tariff act. His statement was simultaneous with on; from the labor department showing a 414 per cent decrease in the- price of farm products in June. The charges relative to purchase of foreign beef brought from the navy an explanation that it was only abiding by regulations. Under

In outlying stations, however, regulations provide beef must be purchased from the firm offering the lowest prices for beef of a specified quality. This policy often results in purchase of foreign beef, it was said. Due to a falling wheat market, the farm question has become perhaps the dominant political issue before the administration. Meanwhile, the federal farm board, focal point of Democratic attacks, is understood to have decided to brave the storm of western criticism rather than add to the 60,000,000 bushels of wheat already taken from the market.

SECRET AGENT WOOS GIRL TO END SMUGGLING Customs Fraud Is Bared as ‘Lover’ Wins Affections of Fair Conspirator. Bu United Prree NEW YORK, July lft.—The story of how a secret service agent learned intricacies of a smuggling system by courting a pretty girl, was told today. When the market was flooded wttti Swiss watches at comparatively lowr prices, the government became suspicious and found a clew which led to Biel, Switzerland, where Marie Salzmann, 21. was conducting an exporting ousiness. A special vgent was sent from Italy and he courted the girl with such success that he won her complete confidence. From her he learned that the watches were being shipped to this country as pottery and bronze ~nd passed through the customs by two bribed appraisers, The agent also learned the secret of the smuggler’s code which centered about the two words, "Esther’* and “uncle.” It soon was apparent that “Esther” meant shipments and “uncle” meant customs brokers on this side. “Esther is sick and should go back to Europe,” read one message which, thanks to the agent's work, was interpreted to mean that as soon as the shipment reaches this city it should be sent back. With these facts to work with, Alvin McK. Sylvester, assistant United States attorney, and Maxwell S. Mattuck, counsel for the American Watch Importers Association, have been successful in convicting two smugglers as well as two appraisers at the United States appraisers’ store.
