By Unite'] Press PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 9.—Police j announced today that a fingerprint on the knife with which Mrs. Nelson C. Bowles was killed twentyeight days ago had been established as that of her husband, millionaire son of a wartime shipbuilder. Th impression, so blurred that prints of at least two dozen persons believed closely and remotely connected with the death were taken, was identified by Sydney Paine, Bertillon expert of the police bureau, as that of the little finger of Bowles' right hand. This was considered by Hfrvey A. Thatcher, captain of detectives, and George Mowry, deputy district attorney, as one of the most significant bits of evidence disclosed since the body of Mrs. Leone C. Bowles, mother of two little girls, was found by police in a private mortuary, after she had died in the apartment of Irma Loucks, Bowles’ former stenographer. Bowles and Miss Loucks were in the county jail today, awaiting grand jury aciton on charges of first-degree murder.

Roosevelt Aids Crippled Girl to Seek Cure He Found at Georgia Springs
BijNEA Service MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 9. Juanita Cawthon. 19. may walk again and enjoy all that life promised when she was a healthy, carefree high school girl —because Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York knows what it is to be afflicted with infantile paralyse. Although Governor Roosevelt does not know Juanita—never has seen her—it is largely because of his co-operation and sympathy that she will be able to enter the sanitarium he founded at Warm Springs, Ga. This is the place where the Governor was treated several years ago with such beneficial results that he now can walk merely with the aid of leg braces. Treatment consists of carefully directed muscle exercise in the warm water that flows from the spring all year round. “The Governor has made it possible for us to finance the trip and treatment,” says Juanita's mother. “He has been very kind.” Juanita's father, a railroad car inspector, had exhausted his savings in an effort to restore his daughter to health. It was after his futile efforts that Governor Roosevelt heard about the case. Juanita, getting ready for graduation from high school, was stricken suddenly with infantile paralysis eighteen months ago. She never has walked since. But, despite her affliction, she has become known in Memphis as the “sunshine girl” because of her ever-cheerful disposition, despite the fearful prospect of being a life-long cripple. “I'm just so thrilled over going to Warm Springs and the hope it offers that I don’t know what to do,” she says. “Oh. everybody has been so wonderful to me—people who don't even know me.

Organizations Voice Wrath Over High Prices Asked by Park Board. Wave of protest against the park board and recreation officials for charging high fees for civic organization business meetings in community houses, mounted today. A resolution scoring the rates, effected with the support of David B. Kilgore, recreation director, was adopted by the Brookside Community Civic League Monday night. The original protest was revealed by The Times and had Ite source among the membership of the Enterprise Civic League, using the Rbodius park community house. The board is probing the matter informally and is expected to act Thursday afternoon. If the board does not act voluntarily members of protesting leagues are expected to bring the discussion before it. Another shot fn the fight is expected to be fired by local clubs desiring to present charity affairs at community's houses. The fees charged for use of the structure for cha' Ity dances and socials are prohibitive, they say. In one instance, a club desired to use the Municipal gardens for a charity danCe to which admittance fee —> * be a basket of food for the poor. The promoters did not want to pay the rate of $2.50 .'or the first two hours. Thursday, after the club repi sentatives appeared before th board, Kilgore recommended anew schedule charging $25 for a dance at the Gardens community house, when no paid admission is charged. I. U.

ing state forest lands in Morgan and Monroe counties is under way today, Hewitt anonunced. “We will have some 300 men employed on this task and with proper financial aid could increase this to several thousand,” explained Hewitt, w-ho is secretary of the Indiana unemployment commission. "I shall ask Governor Harry G. Leslie to consider extending some aid, if possible, from his emergency fund. ‘‘The state conservation department has $12,000 to $15,000 to use in this work and this made it possible to proceed at once.” Under the plan worked out by Hewitt in co-operation with Director Richard Lieber of the state conservation department and Ralph Wilcox, state forester, as many idle men as possile would be put to work clearing the several thousands of acres of woodland. Barracks would be erected for them and the Salvation army would provide meals, Hewitt explained. The conservation department would be in charge of the work and the state health department of camp sanitation. State highway department trucks would transport the men from the cities and haul wood cut by them for free delivery to poojp-rtamilies for fuel. Each man would receive $3 a day. Hewitt proposed that money be given from community funds, but at a conference with fund officials of Indianapolis Saturday he was turned down. Objectors contended that the plan was feasible for only a few who live in counties where the forest land 1 is located.
WATSON STIRS G.O.P. DISCORD BY TAX STAND Disapproval Veiled, but Rebellion Seethes Under Surface. INSURGENTS URGE RAISE Borah, Walsh and Wagner Would Favor Boost in Income Levy. By United Pros WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. Proposals for income tax increase have added another to the series of issues dividing both parties in the short session of congress, but Democrat and Republican leaders arp standing fast against insurgents, and apparently will be able to thwart them. In the disputes are seeds of rebellion against Senator Joseph Robinson, minority leader, and Senator James E. Watson, majority leader, who see no reason for raising taxes now. Watson reflects Robinson's opinion that the deficit probably will be small enough to be cared for by issue of treasury certificates. Beneath the surface there are indications of even greater Republican disapproval of Watson than Democratic dislike of the Arkansas senator. Watson also opposes President Hoover on the world court project. Want to Raise Rates The tax situation today finds Senators Borah (Rep. Idaho, Nye (Rep., N. D >, Walsh (Dem., Mont.), Wagner (Dem., N. Y., and a few others in either party more or less ‘ willing to raise the rates. Robinson, whose signature to the harmony pledge after the election, and subsequent -unpublished correspondence on the subject with President Hoover, irked some of his colleagues. But there appears to be more fancy than fact in reports that Robinson’s leadership is jeopardized even remotely. He was the first to go against president Hoover on drought refief, favoring $60,000,000 for that purpose instead of the $25,000,000 asked by the President. Whatever interpretation Mr. Hoover may have placed on Demo-cratic-Republican harmony pledges, the senate leaders on both sides have their own idea of .what they have undertaken. —•— *' /J The fact that Rjbinson unsuccessfully sought to have Mr. Hoover publish their correspondence after the presidential interpretation had aroused Democratic protest is believed to indicate Robinson and the President would not read the lines with the same inflections and emphasis. Watson Secs Compromise Majority Leader Watson believes the two parties should accept Mr. Hoover’s relief proposals, which Walsh Monday denounced as inadequate, as the basis for a compromise program. Asked whether he thought the Democrats should, as Walsh suggested, bring in their own relief program, Watson said: “I see no necessity for that. We have agreed to co-operate to this extent, that we will take up the President’s program first and then, working together, will draft a pro-gra-1 representing, no doubt, comr jmises.” Under those circumstances, the capital heard with interest today that the so-called young Republican guard composed mostly of newcomers devoted to Hoover policies, had met again Monday night. Senator Kean (Rep., N. J.) was understood to have been dinner host to more than a dozen men upon whom Mr. Hoover usually can count for support. MINERS’ ORGANIZATION TO ELECT OFFICERS John L.
