U. S. BATTLES TO WIN TRADE OF ARGENTINA Recognizes New Chief, but Race Is a Draw With John Bull. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scrlpps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Uncle Sam is working to get some of the cream of Argentina's trade, and so provide jobs for thousands of American workers. Or will it go to John Bull, in the recent past a favored contender? The race between Washington and London to recognize Argentina’s new government seems to have ended in something of a draw. For while full diplomatic relations were resumed today between the United States and the Argentine republic, it, is understood London has given instructions amounting to the same. Great Britain on Inside, Heretofore, Great Britain has had the inside track in Argentina. She built the railroads down there and still controls these vital arteries of the national life. Industrially, the country largely has been financed by the British, who claim to have a $3,000,000,000 stake involved. Diplomatically, too, Britain has been regarded as more friendly than the United States. The American tariff has hit Argentine products very hard, which fact, under the unfriendly President Ingoyen now a prisoner of the revolution —fed the anti-American feeling, noticeable in certain circles. In addition to our high tariff against Argentina’s agricultural products Washington levied embargoes on others, like meat and grapes. U. S. Trade Increasing Nevertheless, American trade has gone, on increasing in Argentina quite comfortably. In 1929 we exported $210,000,000 worth of our goods to tha.fc country, approximately 40 per cent of out total exports to South America. With today's recognition of Argentina., relations between her and the United Stateg enter anew era. Either they will go from bad to worse, or they materially will improve. Much depends upon an enlightened, far-seeing policy at Washington. The new president, General Uriburu, is described as friendly to the United States.

Indiana Girl’s Lucky Day •THREE randies! And earh one A represents a year of joyous living. Little. Vera Lee Linder, of 544 No. Belmont Ave., Indianapolis, is a typical Fig Syrup baby. Here is what her mother says: “A friend praised California Fig Syrup so highly that I gave it to Vera w'hen she showed by bad breath, fretfulness, and restlessness that she wcc constipated. It relieved her constipation immediately, widened her breath, made her bright and happy again “I have also used Fig Syrup for all her colds ana upsets. It has kept her strong and vigorous.” For fifty years, wise mothers have been secure in the knowledge that a child’s headachy, bilious, feverish or fretful spells can be quickly and safely overcome by California Fig Syrup. Physicians recommend its soothing aid to keep the bowels clear in colds, or children’s ailments; or whenever bad breath, coated tongue, or listlessneas warn of constipation. California Fig Syrup helps tone and strengthen weak bowels —assists in building-up and energizing weak children. The genuine always bears the name California. All drugstores.

Mrs. Ruth Harter Geisklng (left) and Mrs. Adeline Chapin Gauley

BY ARCH STEINEL Mrs. Ruth Harter Geisking and Mrs. Adeline Chapin Gauley no longer are "big shots.” Wednesday at Mrs. Gauley's family home, 33 South Harris avenue, they were photographed, interviewed to the point where they admitted they were "big shots.” But that was when Ted Geisking was held in connection with the slaying of Alfred (Jake) Lingle, Chicago reporter, and his pal, John Gauley, was questioned, too, at Louisville. Today, with Chicago witnesses failing to identify Mrs. Geisking's husband as a slayer, they dropped from an apparently desirable spotlight to exclamations of ‘‘We told you so,” at news that the slaying charge was a "bum rap.” They Learned a Lot Just as the Carroll walrus knew of “cabbages and kings,” the Mesdames Geisking and Gauley learned in their short matrimonial month of “big shots,” and “crooks” and “raps.” And knowing the vernacular of the ha If-world they were confident that the Lingle charge was just a “bum rap.” “Why Ted’s no tougher looking than you,” admitted Mrs. Geisking as she eyed her bewhiskered interviewer. “He’s only 22 and hasn't whiskers—just fuzz on his face,” she added. Change Their Flans Wednesday, they planned to visit their husbands in a city where "big shots” are photographed, interviewed—Louisville. But today their, plans are revised. Mrs. Geisking will visit “Ted” in the Rising Sun (Ind.) jail where he is to be taken for complicity in a jailbreak. A jailbreaker isn’t a “big shot” in the half-world and Rising Sun hasn’t newspapers and flashlight photographers.

BARE POISONING IN FSEBEATN Wife Held; Change of Mmd Rouses Suspicion. Bu United Press GLASGOW, Mont., Sept. 15. Mrs. Anna B. Amot exercised the woman's prerogative of changing her mind and it led today to her being charged with poisoning her husband. Nearly a month ago, the husband’s body was found on a burning pile of rubbish in the basement of their home. A coroner’s jury found death was accidental. Later, E. O. Evered, an insurance agent, told authorities he was in a drug store the night before Arnot’s body was found and spoke to Mrs. Arnot as she was buying poison. “She seemed startled when she saw me and told the clerk to ‘never mind,’ then left the store hastily,” Evered said. “I wouldn’t have thought anything of it if she hadn’t changed her mind so suddenly,” he added. Investigation disclosed Mrs. Arnot had returned to the drug store the next day and made the purchase. Her husband’s body was exhumed and traces of poison, which could have caused death, were found, authorities said.

JAKE PARALYSIS CAUSE FOUND BY SCIENTISTS Discovery Points Way to Successful Method of Treating Malady. By United Press • WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Final determination of the cause of the Jamaica ginger paralysis which crippled thousands in the west and south early this year has been made by the United States public health service, it was learned here today. In a report soon to be published, the health service confirms an earlier hypothesis that "tri-ortho cresyl (cq) phosphate,” which was adulterated with tincture of ginger, was responsible for the paralysis. Way Shown to Treatment Discovery of the cause of the mysterious paralysis opens the path to finding a, successful method of treating the afflction, Dr. M. I. Smith, chief pharmacologist of the service, said today. Paralysis caused by drinking of the concoction centered in the wrists and feet of the victims. Science had never known anything of that sort before. Only a. skilled chemist could have adulterated Jamaica ginger with tri-ortho cresyl phosphate, Dr. Smith said. He expressed the view the chemist was unaware of effects his drink would produce, and said it was unfortunate it was not first tested out on animals. Smith emphasized ginger had nothing to do with the paralysis. Widely Used in Trade He placed the entire blame upon the tri-ortho cresyl phosphate and said this probably was used by bootleggers because it could not readily be distinguished from the ordinary constituents of the ginger beverage. “This chemical is the main constituent of technical tri-cresyl phosphate, which is widely used in trade circle, especially in the nianufacture of varnishes, shellacs and similar preparations,” Smith added. He said it could be bought at any wholesale drug house.

'PROBE CAPONE'S GRIP ON LABOR UNKONjAFFAIRS ATs Younger Brother, 21, Is Arrested as He Arrives in Chicago. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—The drive which Judge John P. McGoorty recently started against racketeers, I and in which he has been joined by the city’s business leaders, was cen- ■ tered today in an effort to determine to what extent the racketeers had gone in seizing control of labor unions. Police squads, hunting the twentysix “public enemies” in the latest crime drive, today arrested Matthew Capone, 21, younger brother of “Scarface” Al Capone. Although Matthew’s name does not appear on the “public enemy” list, the name of A1 heads the list followed by that of Ralph, another brother who has been sentenced to the federal penitentiary for income tax fraud. Matthew drove up to the Capone home in a large automobile bearing a Pennsylvania license. The squad members rushed on Matthew

She said she "thought” Al was in Florida. Previously the squads had visited the homes of Jack and Harry Guzick, lieutenants of Al, and found that neither had been at home recently. Seven squads of detectives, authorized to confiscate all property found, late Wednesday raided the headquarters of ten unions and seized enough crates, safes and boxes full of records to fill a large room. Today a corps of assistant staOfH attorneys began studying the records to determine whether the organizations had been forced to pay tribute to racketeers.
