MAYOR APPEALS iTO PUBLIC TO * CURB DEATHS Points to Auto Toll as Warning to Motorists, i Pedestrians. Motorists and pedestrians were cautioned today to practice "safety first ’ in an effort to keep down the traffic death toll of 1931 by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and Charles R. Myers, safety board president. The mayor said: "Carelessness has played an important part in the appalling loss of life from motor car accidents during the present year. Anything that can be done to reduce this terrible toll should be done. The police are trying to do their part, but the public must help if we hope to keep fatalities from increasing. Parents are. careJess in not warning their children or the hazards of playing in city •irpcts. Myers said: "Motorists, pedestri-

ana, parents, are responsible lor the unnecessary toll in traffic deaths. Auto drivers here are not as careful a in other cities. There seems to be a contempt for law and order and a desire to antagonize the police in their effort to enforce laws. But recently there was a notable example of helpfulness when employes of the Big Pour railroad, 3,200 of them, pledged to aid in every way to reduce accidents on the street and to obey all traffic laws. If other companies of the city would take as much interest in safety measures it might be possible to keep the death toll down.” LUDLOW TO BE SPEAKER Indiana Congressman to Address Christian Men Builders. Louis Ludlow, Seventh district congressman, will speak on "The Spirit of the Master” Sunday morning before the Christian Men Builders class at the Third Christian church, Seventeenth and Broadway. Special music will be provided by Charles Henize, who will play two marimba solas. The entire program will be broadcast over WFBM at 9:30 a. m. "Cosmetic rooms” where women can make up are to be a feature of anew theater at Thornton Heath, Surrey, England.

COWBOYS DEFY : MANAGERS OF ! STRANDED SHOW Brandish Guns at Threat to Move Circus Back to Home Quarters. By United Press • WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. Stranded cowboys of the 101 Ranch Wild West show fingered their six-

shooters today and defied the management to move the circus back to its Oklahoma quarters until they have been paid off. Charles T. Boulware, traveling manager, said the show would be loaded and shipped to Marland. Okla., with as many of the 400 employes as wanted to go along. He said they would be cared for on Owner Zach Miller's 2,000-acre ranch, but he offered no money. The cowboy troopers said nothing Qloing. Some of them haven't been paid for eight weeks. Boulware then displayed what he said was a mortgage on the circus property. He said he would foreclose “if there is any trouble’’ and have the show loaded under protection of the United States marshal.

Thousands of head of livestock had been burned to death. J. H. Daly, his .wife and their four children staggered into Priest River Thursday from their farm. Their faces were blistered by heat. They had lain for a day in a mudhole while the fire destroyed their home and raged over and all around the spot where they had taken refuge. . . While almost every available man was fighting the fire, women and children remained at home, packing their belongings, preparing to abandon the town if all efforts to
