By United Press DENVER, Sept. 2.—Stars, as astrologers long have claimed, may influence heredity, according to J. C. Stearns and Wilcox Overback, University of Denver physicists. This may be possible when it is considered that cosmic rays, which are thought to wield a vast influence on human life, come from the stars. X-rays have been found to influence heredity and, since cosmic rays are similar to X-rays, it is possible that they, too, influence heredity.

DROUGHT IS FACED Six Eastern States Periled; Corn Is Burning. By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—Preparations for winter wheat planting have been delayed, and six eastern and southern states again are threatened by drought, the United States weather bureau revealed today. The rainless area included New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware. Virginia and parts of North Carolina. Much late corn is burning, and in Pennsylvania, farmers are cutting the stalks and feeding the grain to cows, suffering as the result of ruined pasture lands. Some tobacco fields in the south and truck crops in the east have been ruined.

Investigation of the slayings took authorities up many blind alleys. For it seemed the killings would constitute a “perfect crime.” The inquiry was dropped until recently. How suspicion fastened upon Loren was not disclosed. But out of the maze of clews, the one line of procedure v was adopted.

FORT PLEADS FOR MORTGAGE MORATORIUM Every Building, Loan Group Should Stop Foreclosing, Parley Told. NO AID TO JOBLESS Bank Isn’t Going to Help Those Without Work, Says George F. Ogden. By United Press FRENCH LICK, Ind., Sept. 2. Franklin W. Fort, chairman of the federal home loan bank board called on the membership of the United States Building and Home Loan League today for co-operative support in making nationally effective the administration’s mortgage foreclosure "moratorium.” Every building and loan association should suspend foreclosures of mortgages immediately, Fort said, adding they could rely on the home loan banks for financial assistance after Oct. 15, when the banks will be ready to function. Money for Sound Loans Fort told the convention “mortgage money will be available on sound loans, which we are getting ready to grant.” He urged the league to set up state committees for immediately aiding distressed home owners through loans from member institutions of the organization. The loan associations should loosen up purse strings and make new loans to accelerate employment, and help “the building industry begin to recover its equilibrium,” Fort said. These new loans, he suggested, should be on properties deteriorating due to lack of repairs. The loans, Fort said, would be sound business policy. No Help for Jobless Fort came here from Washington to address the fortieth annual convention of the league, which is devoting its sessions to celebration of passage of the home loan bank act. That the home loan bank holds no relief for the unemployed was stressed by George F. Ogden of Peru, executive secretary of the Indiana Building and Loan League, at the session. “If any one thinks the bank is going to help him and others who are out of jobs and can’t pay he is mistaken,” Ogden said. SPRINGER IS READY' TO OPEN VOTE DRIVE G. O. P. State Campaign Will Start Next Wednesday. The state Republican campaign will be opened Wednesday night at Ft.

Rural Craze By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 2.—Society’s new’est fad is the barn dance, and it has found favor not only with the younger set, but with the farmers, who stage the affairs, and reap a comfortable profit. The idea apparently originated in northern Illinois, where farmers decided to augment their slender incomes by converting bams into dance halls for Saturday night affairs. Society, hearing of the affairs, looked in, and returned each time such a party was scheduled.

Authorities claimed that Loren made his confession to them first, then repeated it in the presence of his parents. * * M “T never got along with Earl,” Loren was alleged to have said. “He always had the better of things at home.

SLAYER KILLS SELF Fears Vengeance of Others in Wisconsin Murder. By United Press PORTAGE, Wis., Sept. 2.—Frank Tylius, former Kenosha (Wis.) saloon keeper, who confessed implication in the slaying of Robert A. Wilson, Kenosha real estate broker, and named three men held here as accomplices, committed suicide Thursday night. District Attorney Ross Bennett announced today. Tylius hanged himself in a cell at the Wisconsin Dells jail, where he had been taken secretly to forestall attempts at jail delivery by enemies. During a brief absence of the guard, the prisoner fashioned a noose with his belt and handkerchief, fastened it to a cell bar and jumped off the bed. Fear of vengeance by the three men he named drove Tylius to take his life, the district attorney said, the ex-saloon keeper was in terror when he and the other three prisoners were brought here last night from Kenosha.

with them to the quarry where we drank a pint of liquor.” As they sat on the edge of the quarry on a blanket, among the weird shadows of trees, Loren conceived the idea of slaying his brother, according to the purported confession. He admitted that he had loved Miss Woods, but his brother had replaced him in her affections. “I was thinking this would be a good time for me to get even with Earl,” he said. “So I went back to his car, got a hammer, came up behind him and hit him on the head.

Financial Troubles May Force Early Closing of Terms. Confronted by financial difficulties, Marion county township schools may be forced to close their doors within the next five months, it was revealed today. Trustees of the various tow Tnships, with the exception of Washington, have sent word to county school heads that lack of funds may terminate the school year in January or Febriy ry, three months before the regular session expires. Blame for the situation was laid today by school authorities on legislative action, chiefly passage of the $1.50 tax limitation bill. A legislative resolution which slashed salaries of governmental employes has cut pay of county school teachers on the basis of wages which they never were paid, they charged. The law provides that all persons working on a per diem basis shall be considered as working 300 days a year. The county teachers’ contracts provide per diem pay. Since the teachers receive pay for only about 180 days a year, they point out that they are being cut on the basis of 120 days of pay which they do not get. The additional salary cut, together with the prospect of the shorter school year, the teachers say, will place teachers on serious financial straits.

WALKER RESIGNS AS MAYOR OF NEW YORK, DENOUNCING GRAFT PROBE AS ‘LYNCHING’ Dapper Jimmy Assails Roosevelt Hearing as ‘lnquisition’ and Will ‘Place His Case in Hands of People.’ RACE FOR RE-ELECTION IS PROBABLE ‘Holy Joe’ McKee, Board of Aldermen Head, Is Successor; Holds Four College Degrees; Author of Textbook. By United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 2—Joseph V. McKee, brisk and busi-ness-like, took over today the mayoralty of New York, vacated by resignation, under fire, of James J. Walker. Walker, meantime, patently prepared for a fight for reelection, as he announced that he would seek vindication of charges aired in the Governor Roosevelt hearings, by taking them to the forum of public opinion. Walker resigned Thursday night, only a few hours ahead of a scheduled resumption of Governor Roosevelt’s hearing of charges against him affecting his regime as mayor. Today it appeared legally possible for him to stand for re-election in the fall campaign, but court riulings may be necessary to determine this definitely.

Meanwhile, McKee, an earlier riser than the magnetic playboy “Jimmy” Walker, came to power in the metropolis, announcing his intention of giving a business-like regime and concentrating particularly on reduction of the city’s $700,000,000 budget. McKee arrived at city hall at 9:35 a. m. from his summer home at Mamaroneck. He made part of the trip by subway, but few passengers knew their new mayor was in their midst. “I am exceedingly sorry and regret very much the action of Mayor Walker,” McKee told the press. “I would have rather risen to the high

FRENCH RECEIVE GERMANY'S PLEA Arms Equality Demand Up to Treaty Signers. Bn United Press PARIS, Sept. 2.—The German demands for arms equality with the allies will be referred to the nations who signed the Versailles treaty, the French government decided today. Premier Herriot will forward the German memorandum to the other twenty-five signatories before replying to Berlin. Meanwhile, the French government merely will acknowledge receipt of the reich’s demands. Assails Von Papen By United Press BERLIN, Sept. 2.—A crowd that jammed Berlin’s great sports palace and overflowing into the streets, heard Adolf Hitler unleash his most bitter attack upon the government of Chancellor Franz von Papen. “President Von Hindenberg,’’ the Fascist leader shouted, “may dissolve the reichstag ten times, a hundred times for all we care. We will emerge victorious!” Amidst roars of applause, Hitler declared that “we do not want to participate in the government by sufferance. We claim the government is ours by right.’’ The five men were convicted of political terrorism by the special court at Beuthen. They were sentenced to be executed by ax men. PLAN NEW AIRPORTS Four to Be Constructed in Wilds of Northern Idaho. By United Press SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 2.—The “wilds of north Dakota” will be dotted with four airports soon, according to Nick Mamer, local flier, who quoted officials of the United States forest service, following a ten-day scouting trip through the region. He said the four airports will be constructed at Cold Meadows, on the lower middle fork of the Salmon river at Bernard creek, on the Cameron ranch on the middle fork, lower big creek at Soldier bar and Tunder mountain.

office of mayor under other circumstances.” He said he planned to concentrate on reducing the city’s budget. “Every penny of unnecessary expense will be cut out,” he promised. McKee went to his old office in tne aldermanic chamber, explaining he does not plan to move into the spacious mayor’s office until the middle of next week. McKee was to preside over the board of estimate meeting this afternoon. Walker, still somewhat exhausted from the ordeal of his brother’s funeral Thursday, remained in bed, planning later in the day to visit the suburban estate of his friend, A. C. Blumenthal, motion picture producer. His physician, Dr. William A. Schroeder, said it would be necessary for Walker to take a vacation of “two or three weeks.” Leaves Case to People The mayor had not definitely said he intended to run for re-election. His statement of resignation said that to “the people of the city of New York, I leave my case,” and it was generally interpreted in political circles to indicate Walker would seek re-election. McKee, handsome, 43-year-old one-time professor of Greek, is a political protege of a Fordham university classmate, Edward J. Flynn, secretary of state for New York, and an ardent supporter of Franklin D.' Roosevelt as opposed to Tammany hall. “Holy Joe,” some political associates have called McKee. They have, however, respected his ability. They know his requirements for a public official: “Honest, efficient, and unselfish service,” he himself once put it. The new mayor, who holds degrees A. 8., A. M., L. L. 8., and L. L. D., has shown himself willing to fight for the 5-cent fare, eighthour day for women and children, minimum wage laws and suffrage, and to fight against the eighteenth amendment, and the state boxing law. Corrected Alderman He once publicly corrected a city alderman who persisted in pronouncing Goethe as “goat.” He is an amateur horticulturist and reads Latin and Greek poets. When he became president of the board of aldermen, which until then frequently adjourned in the middle of a fist fight, he changed the laws of procedure and made them parliamentary. He had each session opened with prayer. McKee once was a newspaperman, under the name of James W. Dawson, reporting for local papers while he taught school. He also wrote magazine stories, and is the author of a textbook, “The Period of Discovery,” used in New York schools. The very procedure Walker followed in resigning to run again was suggested Thursday morning in a signed editorial by William Randolph Hearst. newspaper publisher. Hearst was the only New York publisher supporting Walker against the charges of his accusers. He also was numbered among those sup porting Franklin *Roosevelt‘s pres: dential campaign Faced 15 Charges Fifteen charges had been leveled aganst Mayor Walker as an outgrowth of the Hofstadter legislative committee’s investigation into his operations as mayor of New York. They involved alleged acceptances of stocks and money as bribes, and unexplained accounts of his alleged business agent showing a million dollars in deposits. Walker characterized the Governor as “studiously unfair,” charged him with acting as “a prosecutor, although the law requires that he be coldly neutral” . . . and “an impartial judge ” With a hint of the sarcasm for which he is noted, the mayor said the Governor had permitted questions and answers “that even a first-year law student would recognize were not permissible.” "Shall I permit myself to be lynched to satisfy prejudice or political ambition?” the mayor asked. “I have met my accusers and disproved their charges. I have met Mr Seabury and answered his every question. Why. then, continue when there is another forum open to me’ To that forum, the people of city of New York, I leave my case."!
