LIBBY IS NOT MENTIONED IN REYNOLDS WILL Document Executed Before Marriage Is Filed for Probate. By Fnilrd Prr>t NEW YORK. Oct. B.—Libby Holman Reynolds, Broadway torch singer indicted on a murder charge in connection with the fieath of her husband, Smith Reynolds, was not mentioned in the will of the tobacco heir filed for probate here Friday. The document bequeathes a resi- ; duary estate of undetermined value to his brothers and two sisters. ' Executed in 1931. prior to his mar- ! riage, Reynold’s will presumably was designed to dispose of his assets at the time made, without a bearing on the trust fund from his father's estate, which would have come to him on his twenty-seventh birthday. This fund has been estimated at $15,000,000. Under North Carolina law, Mrs. Libby Holman Reynolds is entitled to a widow's third of her late husband's personal property, according to some authorities, who assert that her unborn baby may share in the trust fund. Bequests in the document filed today included: To Albert Walker, a friend now under indictment, awaiting trial on a charge of murdering Reynolds, $50,000. To Anna Cannon Reynolds, his first wife, $50,000. To Anna Reynolds, daughter by his first marriage, $50,000 in addition to "adequate” provision made at the time of their separation. To Maxie Smith Dunn, an aunt, Winston-Salem, N. C.. $50,000. To Henry B. Poindexter, WinstonSalem, N. C., $50,000. To John S. Graham, WinstonSalem, N. C., $50,000. To Richard J. Reynolds, brother, Mary Reynolds Mabcock and Nancy Reynolds Bagley, one-third each of residuary estate. RARE PLANT SPECIES IS DISCOVERED AGAIN '‘Riella” Is Found in Texas and North Dakota. Bit Science Seri ice, LUBBOCK, Tex., Oct. B.—One of the rarest plant species in the world has been rediscovered in Madera creek, in the Davis Mountains of western Texas, fcy Dr. R. A. Studhaltcr of Texas Technological college here. Dr. Studhalter has reported his find to the Scientific Monthly. The plant is known as Riella, and has been given the English name ‘‘ruffle plant,” because of its peculiar structure. It consists of a slender stem an inch or so in length, with a thin transparent green wing growing out at one side and curling; over its end. The graceful undulations in this green wing caused one American botanist to describe it as "a ruffle standing on end.” The plant thus far has been found in only two states, Texas and North j Dakota. It grows only in sheltered 1 canyons, either submerged in shallow water or just above water- level. Since water in this western coun- ■ elusive, disapearing from a known try is not always a certainty in any j one place, the plant has been very j habitat, and reappearing suddenly elsewhere.

MIND CAUSES MISHAPS Improper Mental Attitude Brings Traffic Accidents. B:j Science Service WASHINGTON. Oct. 8. - mproper mental attitude and other psychological factors often are the cause of traffic accidents as well as in the factory. Dr. Morris S. Viteles of the University of Pennsylvania and director of personnel research for the Philadelphia Electric Company, pointed out to the meeting here of the street and highway traffic section of the annual safety congress. In a survey of accidents made by street railway and taxicab companies, it was found that physical difficulties were the primary cause in only 12 per cent of the cases. In 22 p?r cent the fault was improper mental attitude or personality maladjustment. And 66* per cent of the men showed a failure to recognize potential hazards, faulty judgment of speed and distance, or improper distribution of attention, etc. BROKE TEETH IN SPITE Los Angeles Husband Chooses Peculiar Way to Anger Wife.

WOMEN_ TO DARE JUNGLE Safer Than Broadway, Girls Believe

BY GEORGE BRITT Time* Stiff Writer NEW YORK. Oct. 8— Adventures with the jaguar. the crocodile and the jungle head-hunters lurked dead ahead today for two blond young women whose previous training grounds for danger have been, respectively, the Rocky mountain* and the pitfalls of Broadway. Violet Ohlsen of British Columbia, and Marian Gillespie of Tin Pan Alley, are the adventuresses. They sail Oct. 21 on the Santa Barbara for Ecuador. From Guayaquil they go by train, by motor and on horseback to a coffee and sugar plantation called Hacienda Rio Negro. 5 000 feet up on the eastern slope of thp Andes. So far that is just a holiday jaunt for which any travel agency will sell a ticket. Then what? "Then,” they both exclaimed today, "the jungle. Native porters cost only fi cents a day. No other white women ever have been there, but that's no reason we can’t go. "There'll be no men except the natives. We'll be our own protection and bosses, and we'll see what we can see.” Originally the trip was to end at the Hacienda Rio Negro, the home of their friend. Richard C. Gill. The samp hacienda was the base and starting point for the famous “dude expedition” which Dr. Herbert S. Dickey led into the jungle last winter. The two tourists were reading of Dr. Dickey's trip. "The sidewalks of New York provide more opportunities for the adventurous than do all the jungles of South America—unless the seeker after thrills risks his life deliberately and with intent,” wrote Dr. Dickey. “If the jungle is that easy, why couldn't we go

They have the narrowest possible margin of money. They don't expect to draw many new lines on the map, although they hope Lo bring out interesting films and material to write about. They actually are going several hundred miles into unknown territory, beyond roads, trails or navi-

Loan to Dawes Forced Upon Him by R. F. C.

He Wanted to Close Bank, Pay Depositors, but Was Prevented. By Scripps-Hoirard Xcwspaper Alliance WASHINGTON. Oct. B.—The SBO.000,000 Reconstruction Finance Corporation credit to the Chicago bank, headed by Charles G. Datyes, former R. F. C. president, was not asked for by him, and virtually was forced on him by administration officials, following his threat to liquidate his bank, according to officials, who are in position to know. Details of the loan to the Central Republic Trust Company, which has created resentment against the R. F. C. throughout the country, came to light coincident with announcement that Dawes will liquidate the Central Republic Trust Company, and organize anew bank to be known as the City National Bank and Trust Company. The old institution will be continued as a trust and real estate corporation. According to the story told by those in touch with the negotiations, Dawes’ bank suffeted a severe strain during the period when about thirty banks in the Chicago area were forced to close. Dawes then let it be known that, in order to protect depositors, he intended to close his bank on a certain Monday. He took the position that such a move would prevent loss to depositors, as there was said to be sufficient funds to cover all deposits. But other Chicago financiers, including Melvin A. Traylor, pointed out that the closing of the Central Republic Trust Company might injure the whole financial structure of Chicago and vicinity, and begged Dawes to reconsider. They also got in touch with R. F. C. officials, and Dawes finally was persuaded to accept the loan. Chicago and New Ycrk banks participated in the advance of funds. For a while, the administration thought it advisable to make public this version of the incident in order to allay dissatisfaction over the transaction, especially in the west. Many farmers and industries unable to obtain funds from the R. F.

|C. have cited the Dawes loan as evidence of alleged favoritism to friends of the administration. The fact that the loan was made soon after Dawes resigned as head of the R. F. C. also caused adverse comment. ... Several administration spfe&esmen [acquainted with the facts' were ready to make public those details at the request of some of Hoover's advisers, but it finally was decided it would be better to say nothing about the matter. Asa result, the R. F. C., which has been made the central argument for ,Hoover’s re-election by some G. O. P. campaigner*, is almost as unpopuar in agricultural regions as the federal reserve system was during the post-war deflation period. CITY WOMAN BADLY HURT IN AUTO SPILL By United Press CHICAGO, Oct.

ASSAIL ARCHBISHOP Arrest of Papal Primate in Mexico Sought. By 1 nited Press MEXICO CITY, Oct. B.—The demand of the national revolutionary party bloc of deputies for the arrest of Archbishop Pascual Diaz, papal primate, on charges of having failed to register as one of the twenty-five priests permitted to function in Mexico City today appeared doomed to failure. It was learned reliably that the churchman had already registered as archbishop of Mexico in a manner. which will probably prove acceptable to the government. The committee charged that Archbishop Diaz openly officiated at important religious services without having registered. Developments Friday followed closely on the adoption of a resolution by the Vera Cruz state legislature requesting congress to expel all Catholic priests, and to take possession of their churches. The Most Rev. Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores, representative of the pope in Mexico, was expelled from Mexico earlier in the week following publication of an encyclical- charging persecution of Catholics by Mexican officials.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SEN. FRAZIER SEEKS TO HELP FARMOWNERS Bill to Refinance All Farm Mortgages Will Be Presented. By Srripp*-Hmrard Xewpaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. B.—Senator Lynn J. Frazier 'Rep.. N. D.) will make a determined effort to have the coming session of congress pass his bill for refinancing of all farm mortgages. This proposal, reported out last session by the senate agriculture committee, was proposed by Frazier as a rider to the home loan bank bill, but later referred to the senate committee on banking and currency, before which group it is now pending. It was then opposed by conservatives in both parties. "Something must be done if farm owners are to remain farm owners,” Frazier said today. "I intend to do all I can to get my bill, or Jegisla- ! tion like it, approved next session.” Frazier's refinance plan is in general alignment with the recent proi nouncements of the two presiden- . tial candidates. Governor Roosevelt wants the Reconstruction Finance Corporation utilized to bring down mortgage in- , terest rates. Platform Provides Move His party’s platform declares for i "better financing of farm mortgages through recognized farm bank agencies at low rates of interest on an amortization plan, giving preference to credits for the redemption of farms and homes sold under foreclosure.” President Hoover at Des Moines said he would “propose to congress at the next session that we further reorganize the federal land banks and give to them the resources and liberty of action necesary to enable j them definitely and positively to expand in the refinancing of the farm | mortgage situation where it is | necessary to give men who want to ! fight for it a chance to hold their : homes.” The Frazier plan calls for refinancing of all farm mortgages through the federal land banks. Loans for this purpose would be made at an annual interest rate of I>2 per cent and an annual [amortization charge of I' 2 per cent jof the principal. These would be | backed by first mortgages on farms up to 80 per cent of their value. How Money Is Raised Funds for this operation would come from the sale of federal land : bank bonds, earning V/s per cent. Federal reserve banks would be required to invest their available surplus and net profits in these securities. Any bonds remaining unsold would be delivered to the. reserve banks for an equal amount of federal reserve notes. Whenever money in circulation reached $75 per capita, or about $35 more than the per capita circulation now, the treasury would retire the new issues of federal reserve notes | for the new farm loan bonds, up to 2 per cent of the total in any one year. Refinancing of only a part of out- | standing farm mortgages would be j accomplished immediately, the reI mainder to be a gradual process.

Battle Over Embargo on Russian Asbestos

Each Side Charges Other With Attempt to Crush Competition.

By Seripps-Haward Xeirspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 For two weeks the United States tariff commission has been refereeing what has the earmarks of a cat and dog fight—no holds barred—over the question of removing or continuing the temporary embargo on Russian asbestos. The commission's docket lists as complainants the Bear Canyon Asbestos Company, and the Regal Asbestos Mines, Inc., and others, and as respondents, the Amtorg Trading Corporation and Asbestos Limited, Inc. The complainants named are companies operating asbestos mines in Arizona, and the respondents are companies engaged in marketing Russian products in the United States. The \Johns-Manville Company and the Keasbey and Mattison * Company, two of the largest manufacturers of asbestos products, are giving moral, if not active, support to the complainants. On the other side a half-dozen independent manufacturers of asbestos products are giving support to the respondents.

Each Side Accuses Other Each side is charging that the other is trying to capture control of the # asbestos market and crush competition. The Johns-Mansville and Kcasbey and Mattison companies own asbestos mines in Canada and Arizona. and supply their own needs therefrom. In the hearing here, W. Truesdell, head of the Carolina Asbestos Company, an independent spinner, charged that since the temporary embargo on Russian asbestos went into effect eighteen months ago. the Canadian mines are quoting uniform prices to independents. Independents are not objecting to present prices, but say they fear that, should he embargo on Russian asbestos be made permanent, the Canadian mines, Americanowned and independent, will boost prices on the -raw product so high that the independents will not be able to compete with the two big companies that mine their own asbestos. The Independents' Story The independents say that the only asbestos mines in this country —in Arizona and Vermont —are so small that they can not begin to supply the needs of the American market. They say that a permanent embargo on Russian asbestos will give the Canadian mines a virtual monopoly on the American asbestos market, adding that asbestos mined in Rhodesia, Africa —the only other large source of supply—has been taken off the American market. Those in favor of a permanent embargo against the Russian product—and they, likewise, include some independents deny these charges and advance sensational counter charges. The latter accuse Russia of unfair trade practices, of deliberately selling at prices below local production costs, of trying to demoralize the local market by dumping, of attempting a cartel agreement with independent Canadian mines and Rhodesian interests to divide up the world market. They say they fear that should Russia obtain dominance of the American market, it will then raise prices as hign as it pleases. Likewise, they deny that the Ari-

zona and Vermont mines are being used as a blind to insure a monopoly for the Canadian product. They say that Arizona and Vermont mines are capable of producing all of the asbestos needed in this country, and were embarked on a program of expansion wfien low-priced Russian asbestos forced several American mines to shut down. *
