152,000 TO BE LEVEE EXPENSE AT VINCENNES State Will Be Called Upon to Aid in Construction of Safeguards. Bv Timet Porcini VINCENNES, Ind., Aug. 7.—Construction of additional safeguards to the Brevodrt levee, south of this city, at a cost of $52,000, has been approved by the association composed of landowners whose property is protected by this dike. Methods of financing the construction have not been fully outlined. The proposed work would raise the levee to withstand a thirty-foot stage and strengthen it to withstand floods like that of last January. A special committee has been appointed to work with AttorneyGeneral James M. Ogden on methods whereby the state may be called upon to aid in financing the project. Bridge Is Dam The $52,000 estimate, it is shown, would take in twenty-one miles o i levee along the Wabash, nine miles on White river, and six on River Deshee. It has been pointed out that the Hazelton bridge approach dams up much water during flood times and because of this, the state should aid in financing the improvement. The Brevoort levee was completed fourteen years ago and in that time has battled much high water. Sometimes the water has rested for weeks against the ramparts. Breaks Repaired Record waters of January, which exceed in height all other floods by one and three-tenths feet, caused 450 feet of the levee to go out on White river, and a similar sized break on the Plasa ditch. These breaks have been repaired at a cost of $3,000. The strain of the January flood is beginning to tell on certain points which are in need of immediate attention. The entire levee needs strengthening by slabbing and the height should be increased because this years inundation showed than another foot of water would have caused the torrent to come over the dike, it was pointed out.

REED CONCEDES LOSSI_OF RACE ‘Chief’ Haucke Is Governor Choice in Kansas. Bn United Press TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 7.—The nomination of Frank (Chief) Haucke as Republican candidate for Governor of Kansas by a majority of more than 25,000 votes was conceded, today by Governor Clyde M. Reed, his opponent, who has been a foe of federal farm board policies. The defeat of Reed and nomination for the junior senatorial seat of Senator Henry J. Allen, Hoover supporter, generally were recognized as indications Kansas definitely was committing itself in favor of the administration’s farm relief program. Allen was conceded about a two-to-one majority over his nearest opponent, W. H. Sproul, former congressman. Ralph Snyder and James F. Getty ran far behind. The general election will find Senator Allen opposing George McGill, who defeated Charles Stephens in the Democratic primary. Haucke will meet Harry M. Woodring, successful candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Woodring won over N. L. Bowman by an impressive majority. GRAIN SLASH SCORED Acreage Cut Futile Move, Asserts Economist. Bv United Press CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Aug. 7. —Vigorous critcism of the federal farm board’s campaign for a 25 per cent reduction in wheat acreage was voiced here today before the institute of public affairs by Henry C. Taylor, former chief of the agriculture department’s bureau of markets and crop estimates. If the wheat acreage could be cut “through some new kind of cooperation,” Taylor declared, “there is no guarantee that the farmers of the United States would benefit, and certainly the nation as a whole would lose heavily by the readjustment in our economic life that would be involved.” The basic difficulty in agriculture today, he said, is that farmers have to pay more for what they buy and get no more for what they sell.

HERMIT DOUBLE DIES IN VICTORY Expires After Fooling Even Movie Magnates. Bu Vnited Press N HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 7.—One of the score or more old men whose aim in life is to double for Peter the Hermit, known to all of the Hollywood movie colony, accomplished hisS ambition Wednesday night, but died in doing it. Holywood police, called to the movie center, found an aged man with a flowing white beard, no shoes and ragged clothing, dead of heart failure. The body was taken to the city morgue and word given out that Peter the Hermit had died at the age of 80. Pictures of Peter compared with the victim showed the same classical features that caused movie magnates to offer the hermit roles as Roman senators or distinguished scientists. As the news circulated, acquaintances of the hermit appeared at the morgue. A dozen of them voted 10 to 2 against the death of Peter. Officials then announced that even though casting directors demanded the original Peter or none at all theV had been fooled by one of his doubles. Peter, who apparently still is sound of body in his mountain retreat back of Hollywood, came to the movie colony twenty years ago.

SOCIAL LEADERS EMBROILED BY WOMANEDITOR Mrs. Longworth Can’t Help Ruth McCormick, Says Eleanor Patterson. Bp Scripps-Hotcard Xctcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. The daughters of three famous political I households —Alice Longworth, Ruth Medill McCormick and Eleanor Patterson—were today embroiled in a political controversy which may have more serious consequences than the historic Gann-Lcngworth dispute over which lady should sit at the head of the table at official functions. It started when Mrs. Patterson, the former Countess Gizycha and a cousin of Mrs. McCormick's late husband, Senator Medill McCormick, announced over her signature in a front page box of William Randolph Hearst’s Washington Herald, which she now edits, that Mrs. Longworth most decidedly would not act as Mrs. McCormick’s political adviser in the latter’s senatorial campaign in Illinois. After discounting newspaper reports that the speaker’s wife would take the stump for her cousin, Mrs. Patterson added the sting that left the capital gasping and chuckling and wondering. Doesn’t Make Speeches "Mrs. Longworth,” she wrote, “does not make speeches. Mrs. Longworth does not give interviews. Mrs. Longworth can not talk in public. Her assistance therefore, will, resolve itself, as usual, into posing for photographs.” Though a bitter social and political battle between “Alice” and “Elsie” is predicted when the heat permits dowagers and diplomats to return from mountains and seashore, Mrs. Patterson’s sally already has led to disavowals of reports that Mrs. Longworth would aid Mrs. McCormick in the coming campaign. Brutally but effectively the ladyeditor has pointed out that, in view of the speaker’s wife’s aversion to public life or activity, there is no known way in which she can render aid. Not Intending Entry In declining to be interviewed, Mrs. Longworth corroborated part of Mrs. Patterson’s editorial indictment, but she also is understood to have admitted she did not contemplate an active entry into politics. Meanwhile, the capital wondered if the editor’s retort had not been provoked by some witticism sponsored by Mrs. Longworth when she learned that the former countess was to become a day laborer in the journalistic vineyard. Asa sparkling conversationalist in her salon on Massachusetts avenue, Mrs. Longworth is noted for the bon mots with which she strikes off prominent personalities for the amusement of her guests. Mrs. Patterson insiits she did not “dream” her characterization of her friend as a photographic poseur would cause so much excitement. “It’s the truth,” she explained, “and I believe in publishing the truth.” Asked to explain why she had written so critically of an old friend, the lady editor replied: “It was just a news item to me, and I didn’t dream it would cause so much discussion. I don’t want to keep talking about it because there is nothing more to say.” She denied that her levelling of the journalistic lance at the speaker’s wife meant she would champion Dolly social claims when the supremacy dispute is resumed next fall. “I have never met the lady,” she said, referring to the Vice-Pres-ident’s sister.

MINE REGION FRICTION MAT CAUSETROUBLE Disorders Threatened as Result of Idleness and Kidnaping. Bu Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. Aug. 7. A growing friction in the southwestern Indiana coal fields is causing grave concern over the possibility of outbreaks in the near future. Much mine idleness and crop failures in this area have tended to increase the friction between the Jwo rural mine unions. The insurgent group led by former officials of the Illinois group of the United Mine Workers is said to be both the agent of the communists and the mine operators. They are charged with attempting to negotiate wage contracts below the scale asked by the United Mine Workers, which is a continuation of the 1929 scale and identical to that now in force in Illinois and higher than in Ohio. Attacks upon the insurgents declare that the latter are opposed to the U. M. W. A. because it is too conservative. The insurgents counter with the statements that the attacks being directed against them are made because the present organization is attempting to save John L. Lewis, international president of the U. M. W. A. from being ousted. Repercussions are expected to result from the kidnapping of Joseph Claypool, insurgent organizer fronj, his home at Shelburn by five men last week. Claypool was found tarred and feathered at West Union, HI., the next day. Insurgent retaliation for the attack is feared and a raid from across the river lead by Herrin, 111., miners is expected. Complete investigation of the charges of communist domination were made last year by a reporter for the Indianapolis Times, who learned that the personnel of the new organization in the Indiana field is in the main composed of Scotch and British miners.
