BLOCK ROADS IN ILLINOIS; FEAR MINE BATTLE Invasion of Christian County by Opponents of New Scale Threatened. CITIZENS BEING ARMED Taylorville Business Men, Legion Members Drill in Defense Units. J? 1/ I nitril Prexx TAYLORVILLE. 111., Aug. 15. Grim-faced civilians, many of whom haven't fired a gun in fifteen years, marched with the 1,500 citizen vigilants patro7ung highways leading Into Christian county today. They awaited the arrival of an invading army of 2.000 union pickets who threatened to march on mines to prevent coal miners working under the new $5 a day basic wage contract. The “home guards’’ included many American legionnaires, who bore their rifles at military slant. Others of the defending group, sworn in an deputies by Sheriff Charles Wieneckc were farm lads, bank clerks, truck drivers and college boys. Few niggers at Work Although mine whistles blew in c-ntral Illinois mines today, few diggers went, to work. Most of them were with the pickets or the defenders against the expected invasion. No reports of the advancing pickets had been received, and the patrols were instructed to keep up their vigil until relieved. Among those either hack at work in the county’s mines or reinforcing the guards were several Taylorville miners, who had reported they were manhandled, stoned and driven out of Bonld, Maccoupin county, when they attended a mass meeting there Sunday. Arms and tear gas bombs were handed out to the patrols, who were ordered to resist any efforts by union miners from southern Illinois to enter this area. The southern miners are attempting to organize a state-wide strike in protest against new wage scale agreement reducing the basic scale from $6.10 to $5 a day. Mines in this vicinity are operating on the new contract. Invasion Is Feared Information was received that 2,000 pickets would start her today from Springfield, and Gillespie, determined to halt operations in the Midland field. Mine operators appealed to local authorities to take every measure to prevent bloodshed. They said they would b§ forced to call upon Governor L. L. Emmerson to send troops, if local peace officers were unable to halt the threatened invasion. Christian county was turned into a virtual armed camp by the hurried preparattions. Colonel George G. Seaman, chairman of Citizens' Protective League, ordered the membership of 1,000 men mobilized at 8 a. m. prepared for.an emergency. American Legion posts also were called to meet.

Gun Is Used to Keep Produce From Being Taken to Market. By United Pres* SIOUX CITY, la., Aug. 15.—The first shot in the thirty-day farm strike was fired today at Sargent Bluff to halt a farmer who sought to run the gantlet of pickets and brink milk here. The shooting was reported to Sheriff John A. Davenport. Roads leading into the city were picketed by more than 1,500 farmers determined to prevent livestock and milk from being delivered. Truck operations here virtually w’ere at a standstill. Food centers, produce depots and stockyards all reported greatly reduced receipts except by rail. No trucks were allowed by pickets to enter the city, save those bringing milk to be distributed free to the needy. Farmers enlisted in the selling holiday, which began its second w'eek today, waited the roads by the side of dairymen who are holding out for higher prices.

SEEKS TO HALT WALKER TRIAL Mayor’s Attorney Plans to Get Injunction. By United Presx ALBANY. N. Y„ Aug. 15.—A second legal move to stop the ouster hearing against Mayor James J. Walker was in prospect today as the inquiry moved into its last phase. This action, probably in the form of an injunction suit against Governor Franklin D. Roosevlt, would be independent of the priding supreme court litigation based on the claim the Governor’s removal power was nullified by the home rule amendment to the Constitution. John J. Curtin, the mayor’s attorney, hinted he might attempt to halt the hearing if Roosevelt does not change the form of procedure to meet Walker’s demands. Regardless of any possible forthcoming legal move, Walker was ready for the third session of the hearing today. Roosevelt’s examination was expected to center around the iugitive Russell T. Sherwood and his bank deposits of nearly a million dollars on a $3,000 annual salary. Samuel Sea bury, author of the fifteen “conclusions” seeking the mayor’s removal, holds that Sherwood was Walker's financial agent.

GULF STORM CLAIMS TOLL OF 18 LIVES Scores Injured: Property Damage Is Estimated at $1,000,000. GALVESTON IS SAVED High Sea Wall Repulses Giant Waves: Small Towns Suffer Most. BY STUART E. JONES United Press Staff Correspondent HOUSTON. Tex., Aug. 15.—A north from the tropics to rake the Texas coast line and rush inland to west Texas, abatde today. It left in its wake eighteen known dead, scores injured and property damage of more than $1,000,000. Whole fishing settlements were destroyed and boats sw'ept out to sea. Houses were unroofed. Streets o* small towns and cities were cluttered with debris. Hospital w’ards were crowded. Galveston, many times the victim of fierce storms sweeping in from the Gulf of Mexico, was saved this time by its high sea wall, erected after more than 10,000 persons had been killed in former floods. The Houston airport was destroyed. A hangar and eleven planes w’ere sw'ept away, with property damage of $250,000. Storm Abating Today The winds, foreseen by government weather bureaus, struck Saturday at nightfall and entinued until early Sunday. They lashed gulf w'aters into huge waves and drove Uiem rushing and eddying against the shoreline. They whistled inland to strike small towns, leaving a trail of suffering and desolation. The storm, w'orking its way into west Texas —a full 300 miles from the coast —was abating today. The victims w'ere killed without warning. Some were pinned in the wreckage of their homes. Others were struck by flying debris. -The deaths of Henry Suggs, West Columbia, Tex., constable; his wife, their young daughter, and his mother-in-law were typical. Small Towns Are Crushed All four w’ere killed when the wind took their home in fierce grasp, and crushed it like a giant closing his fist over a flimsy match box. Wreckage of the hoi|se was scattered over a quarter-mile area. S. E. Giesecke, 25, Houston, was attempting to start his automobile w’hen it stalled on a highway near Angleton. A piece of timber, swirled along by the winds, struck him in the side. He died in a Houston hospital. The small towns of Freeport, Angleton, West Columbia and Velasco, on the gulf shore about fifty miles southwest of here, suffered heaviest damage. Seven fatalities were centered near Freeport, a popular fishing resort. Galvestion’s sea wall protected that costal city from the winds and high w’ater. The w’aves buffeted against the masonary, but w’ere repulsed. Galvestion residents, warned to stay within their homes listened to the high wdnds, and recalled stories of the hurricane of Sept. 8, 1900, which killed 7.000 or more persons and caused $25,000,000 damage Fear Bigger Death List The stricken area extended along the coast line from Port Arthur to Corpus Christi. A short distance west of Galvestion. it veered inland. The storm was reported today in the vicinity of Abilene, in vest Texas. Reports of missing persons came from towns inland and along the coast, and it was feared the death list might go considerably higher. Communications were disrupted in many sections. Houston hotels were filled w’ith anxious crowds attempting to hide their fears in forced gaiety. While the winds howled through the streets, groups crowded around hotel pianos and tried to drive away their anxiety with loud singing.

A coast guard amphibian plane with four men aboard which flew during the night to the rescue of a dying fisherman far at sea reported by radio today that it was down in a thick fog, but could not estimate its position.

Burke, with Lieutenant - Commander Fletcher W. Brown, boatswain W. L. Saunders and radio operator Thomas McKenzie aboard. The fliers had planned to take the dying man from his ship to a hospital.

Maurice Chevalier . . . “I’m fearing r-r-right now!”

By Uniti and Press CANNES, France, Aug. 15. Bubu, a monkey, was in custody today after a grand spree in one of this resort city’s most exclusive tennis clubs, where he reversed the popular idea that w’hisky precedes fun, and had his fun before his liquor. Bubu belongs to a gypsy at a camp near Cannes. He escaped late Sunday. Nobody saw’ him again until he popped up at the tennis club. Peggy Joyce was there. So was Maurice Chex’alier. Fanny Brice. Maurice Dekobra. Rosie Dolly. Irving Netcher. the Princess Sherbateff and a host of other celebrities. Bubu, a large monkey, came in like a small cyclone. His first move was to assert himself. Dashing to the middle cf the tennis courts, he thumped his chest half a dozen times, let out four or five piercing screams, and grabbed a racquet. Tjvo women fainted. An unidentified man wearing knickers w’ent over a brick wall in a leap that some said would have won Olympic honors. nun BUBU swung the racquet around a bit and succeeded, finally, in whacking himself on the head. This irritated him. He whooped and headed for a table at the side ( of the courts. Two more women fainted. Peggy Joyce decided to go to her room. Chevalier, hiding behind a concrete pillar, remarked: “I’m leaving r-r-right now!” Bubu grabbed a box containing two dozen tennis balls. He threw out curves, spitters, drops and fits. Tw’o more women fainted. Tennis balls w’ere bouncing off walls sailing through the air. going places through windows and striking strangers with abandon. One man ventured out with a club. He approached Bubu. took one look at his ferocious scowl and left the club and the grounds. n n n BUBU. having thrown aw’ay all the tennis balls, w’ent to w’ork on the racquets. He beat five rackets against a brick wall until they were in shreds. Then he ducked into a door. They captured Bubu ten minutes later, sitting on a high stool at the bar, calmly sipping a whisky and soda. Chevalier, who helped take him in custody, expressed sincere hope that he will be given a Tarzan role when he returns to Hollywood. Peggy Joyce refused to issue a statement, saying she had a headache. Ends Life by Auto Fumes By l nit Id Prrxx LAPORTE, Ind..

WRIGHT LAW REPEAL TAKES STAGE CENTER Battle Over Dry Act Crowds Tax Aid Aside on Last Day of Legislature. MAY AMEND WEISS BILL Railroads Lose Fight tor Regulation of Busses and Trucks. Last-minute attempts to repeal the Wright bone dry law’ rather than passage of any new tax measures held the center of the state legislaure’s closing sessions this afternoon. Senators were prepared to con- ; sider a sales tax. In all likelihood it never w’ould be approved by the house, which has had income ajid ! intangibles tax bills pending in the senate for some time. Railroads lost their fight for truck and bus regulation and the ton mile tax, when the Dili w’ent down to final defeat in the senate today, 25 to 22. The measure would have placed buses and trucks operating as common carriers under public sendee j commission jurisdiction and levied a 1 mill a ton mile tax. Following ruling by AttorneyGeneral James M. Ogden that the I senate bill providing for public ownership of utilities is unconstitutional. the house today rushed its own measure to fill the gap before adjournment. House Bill Approved In an unofficial opinion. Ogden indicated the house measure, as amended in conference committee, is free from objections which make the senate bill unconstitutional. The house concurred in the committee’s amendment to the bill and its proponents are confident of passage in the house and senate to replace the senate bill on Governor Harry G. Leslie’s desk for I signature. Amendments to the bill provide | that 5 per cent of the total voters | in the last general election, instead lof twenty-five voters, is necessary to call an election on purchase of a utility by n municipality. It also provides that ten voters can appeal to the public service commission for ruling on rates, although the municipal utilities are removed from the commission's jurisdiction in every other particular, and that if a proposal of purchase defeated in an election a year must elapse before another vote. Eliminates Objection. The ten-voter appeal to the service commission is believed to eliminate Ogden's finding that the senate bill was unconstitutional, because the commission had no place in control of municipally-owned utilities. In the Wright law repeal conferertce today it was revealed an entirely new list of amendments had been laid before the committee, which, it is charged, would reinstate I the Wright law. Members favoring repeal charged markings on the amendments were in the handwriting of Ethan A. Miles, Indiana Anti-Saloon League attorney. Representatives Jacob Weiss iDem.). Indianapolis, author of the house bill calling for Wright law repeal, and Howard S. Grimm (Rep.), Auburn, are members of the house committee. Both are for repeal, the house having voted not to concur in the referendum plan. A modified Weiss bill may be offered in compromise. It will be backed by the G. O. P. state organization, which now wants to take the question out of the campaign. after putting across the referendum amendment in the senate earlier in the w’eek. Betting Bill Passes No trouble is anticipated on the pari-mutuel betting bill, as the house is ready to concur in the senate amendments. The bill passed, the senate Saturday. It would permit machine bets on all racing, with a $1,000,000 revenue expected to accrue to the state through a SIOO a day license lee. While taxpayers from many sections of the state lined the gallery and aisles with placards demanding “lower taxes,’’ the house rushed passage of several minor bills under suspension of the rules. As the session opened its last day, the taxpayers entered the chamber with leaders cf various groups carrying the placards on poles, which were waived silently before legislators. Most of the placards bore the name of the Hoosier Taxpayers Union. Inc. Most important step taken in the house toady was passage of the senate bill providing for a five-year moratorium on the three-mile road law. The measure, now ready for the Governor’s signature, is a sister bill to a measure suspending for five eyars the county unit road law. If made laws, these bills would save hundreds of dollars in every county.
