Aug. 19 Dry leaders conceded a wet victory today as Missouri voted on the twenty-first ?repeal* amendment. Political observers generally agreed the state would be the twenty-sec-ond to repudiate national prohibition. Despite last-minute exhortions by both sides, only a light vote was in prospect with the total expected to be only 500.000, a third of the ballots* cast in the November *>lection. The Kansas City JournalPost predicted all 114 Missouri counties would vote wet. After futile efforts to halt the election by court action, dry leaders urged adherents to amass as large a vote as passible to insure dry representation in legislation after repeal. Pastmaster-General James A. Farley. Governor Guy Park and Rubey Hulcn. state Democratic chairman, urged a large wet vote. St. Louis. Kansas City, St. Joseph. Springfield and Joplin were expected to cast the bulk of the vote. Wet leaders expected to win by at least three to one. Mayor Bernard F.

After numerous lootings, the brothers prepared a wiring system as a burglar alarm connected from the store to the house. Smith, wounded in the back from the shoulders to his heels, told police he had met his companion, “Bob," in Columbus. 0.. and that they had come here, intending to get some merchandise and then sell it in Anderson, Ind.

HINT FORD TO EXPLODE BOMB Expected to Pay Higher Wages, Work Shorter Hours Than Code Asks. BA* THOMAS L. STOKES Time* Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Henry Ford, conspicuously missing from the ranks of automobile magnates here plans to join President Roosevelt's recovery porgram later in his own way—and in a dramatic way. . Ford refused to subscribe to the proposed code of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce which now is thq subject of public hearings here. He went further and criticised it. He did not even sen da representative here. "What will Ford do?" was the big question as the hearing opened. Hi* plan, it was learned today, is to wait until the code is approved—and then go one better. He intends to proopse a code of his own with higher wages and. perhaps, shorter working hours and dump it before the public with a flourish. Hugh S. Johnson, recovery administrator, insists upon one code for the industry. But there is nothing to prevent Ford from improving jon it. It may be necessaiy for him | to subscribe to the regulation code to conform literally with the law—- | if he will. The eDtroit automobile manufacI turer has General Johnson and the I rest of the automobile industry rather in a comer. The recovery administrator appears none too pleased about Ford’s failure to appear. As for the other automobile magnates, they do not like it at all. They wonder what their rival is going to do. He makes them nervous. Ford never had any intention but to co-operate with President Roosevelt, it is said authoritatively.

ROOSEVELT IS SET TO SIGN STEtt CODE NRA Agreement Reached With Industry Chiefs at Long Session. READY FOR PRESIDENT 40-Hour Week Over Three Months Trial Period Is Provided. BY H. O. THOMPSON United Pres* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Aug. 19. A deadlock keeping the great oil. coal and steel industries out of the national recovery ranks was broken by administration pressure today when agreement was reached on a steel code. Officials were confident smashing of the steel blockade foreshadowed early action to put the other industries under recovery codes. General Hugh S. Johnson, hardhitting NRA administrator, drove the bargain on steel at protracted conferences with magnates that lasted much of the night. Code to Roosevelt Today Johnson hoped to place the formal code before President Roasevelt before he leaves for his home at Hyde Park. N. Y., tonight. Quick action by the President was forecast by Johnson's announcement that the President already hao approved the agreement made with • the steel men. The agreement was for a ninetyday trial of a code regulating hours and wages of 400,000 workers, with the NRA having a voice in administration of the trial code. Success in forcing the steel Industry into an agreement was regarded as a signal victory for the Roosevelt administration. In steel more than in any other industry the President s recovery policies came in direct conflict with the nation's great financial powers, including the House of Morgan. Events Fast-Moving Events leading up to the agreement were fast-moving. Johnson turned from oil conferences to a "brief meeting” with steel leaders, including such personages as W. A. Irwin, president of the Morganbacked United States Steel Corporation. Former Governor' Nathan J. Miller of New York, his counsel; Eugene Grace, chairman of the board of Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and chairmen and presidents of other companies. Johnson faced them early Friday afternoon. Excited talk emanated from the conference room. All afternoon and far into the evening the session continued. There was a brief recess for dinner and then the meeting was resumed. Oil leaders came to see Johnson, but he sent them away. “For God s sake don't bother me now,” he said, and pointed to a double suite of rooms. In Conference 12 Hours ‘‘l've got a den of lions in there.” Midnight passed and the conference continued. Finally at 1 a. m. the steel magnates came out. They were glum. They looked straight ahead as they pressed their way through reporters. refusing to talk. Johnson had kept them in conference almost twelve hours. Half an hour later Johnson emerged. He was tired. His eyes were bloodshot and his tie was askew. But he smiled broadly. He waved a typewritten paper vigorously. It was the announcement of the agreement and its approval by the President. Fix Minimum Hours The agreement provided for an average forty-hour week over the three-month trial period with no employe to work more than fortyeight hours or six days a week. If the steel production reaches 60 per cent of capacity after Nov 1, an eight-hour day is provided for all employes except those in supervisory, technical or emergency capacities. "The minimum wages fixed in the code are estimated by steel companies to exceed an average of 40 cents an hour.” Johnson said. The companies have made i 15 per cent wage increase since July 1 and currently pay large groups of common labor higher wages than those fixed in the code, Johnson said. Exact wage schedules were unavailable. DEATH TAKES - ATHLETE Aurora High School Basketball Star Passes: Order Post-Mortum. By I nilrii prms AURORA.

Find Secret Graveyard of Machado Torture Victims

BY LAWRENCE S. HAAS I'nilrd Prr* Staff Correspondent HAVANA. Aug. 19. — Havana was aroused to vengeful anger today by the discovery of bodies of four Cuban patriots in a secret graveyard of the Machado police under the stables of historic Atares fortress. The skulls of some of the victims were cracked, said to indicate they died under torture. Soldiers, students and members of the ABC secret revolutionary society dug about the castle today for more bodies, confident of finding additional evidence of the methods of the Machadista police and secret service. One of the bodies was that of a student, Felix Ernesto Alpizar. It was taken at once to the National university and placed in state. As news of the find spread, crowds, vowing vengeance on former President Gerardo Machado, moved to the university and filed past the body. A commission of students asked British Minister Watson Clark to view the bodies and report to his government, in order to strengthen a possible future demand for extradition of President Gerardo Machado and Captain Manuel Crespo, commander of the fortress and com-
