FARMERS OPPOSED TO ANOTHER PARTY By H. K. REYNODS WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, the Republican chairman of the senate "farm bloc," declared today that the Republican farmers of Kansas and other states in the wheat belt would not support any third party movement which might spring from the so-called agricultural revolt in the middle west. "The death of President Harding and the elevation of Calvin Coolidge to the presidency has created a new political situation" Senator Capper said, "but the western Republicans are not disposed to be critical prematurely. They hope the new president will prove himself their friend." "In my travels thru Kansas and neighboring states I saw no evidence of any desire for a republican*bolt to a third ticket and do not believe there will be one. "Political conditions, especially in Kansas, are not similar to those in Minnesota and the Minnesota plan of having the government buy and market the wheat crop, is receiving little support." Senator Capper does not favor an extra session of congress to consider special agricultural legislation. "We would mill around for a few weeks and get nowhere," he explained. "That would not be satisfactory to the country. It would take time for careful thought to work out new legislation. So far, I have not prepared any." Discussing the relationship of transportation to the agricultural situation Capper said: "Transportation will be one of the foremost questions at the next session of congress. The farmers and shippers generally are looking for relief from present high freight rates. There is a demand for them and for changes in the Each-Cummins law. I do not think the entire law should be knocked out, but there is a strong support for repeal of the guarantee" BUENA PARK BUENA PARK, Aug. 13.

"The Interstate Commerce Commission could reduce rates but it may need a direct mandate from congress to force the step." Capper said he did not favor the general consolidation of railroads because it would "end to strengthen the influence and control over transportation facilities of rural districts by the great city terminals."

RUHR OCCUPATION DEFENDED BY FRENCH By FRANK E. MASON (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) PARIS, Aug. 13.—The legality of French occupation of the Ruhr, which was attacked in the latest British note, was defended by the French foreign office today. It was pointed out that under paragraph 18, of annex two, part eight of the treaty of Versailles, signed by David Lloyd George and the German representatives both Germany and the allies agreed to Ruhr occupation. According to foreign office opinion the haldwin note represents a step backward from the entente. Foreign office officials believe from the tone that the note is catering to America. "England confounds our war debt which we do not intend to repudiate with the, German war debt," it was stated. "Our debts contracted during the war, permitted us to make a larger military effort to spare the spilling of British and American blood." "The German debt represents the spilled allied blood. "If experts estimate Germany cannot pay Britain's demanded 12,000-000,000 gold marks it is we who then must pay." "As the result of British false reasoning, the weaker Germany becomes, the less she is able to pay and the less we will receive; but the more we will have to pay to Great Britain.

SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW W. C. Roberts, county probation officer, and four teachers who will have charge of the Palm Street School this year, were in the Sugar Factory colony today rounding up the Mexicans who will be compelled to attend school this year. The Palm street school will start tomorrow. The reason for the early starting, says Supt. G. C. Smith is that almost the entire school stays away in October to pick walnuts. The county and state authorities deem it wise to open school now and then shut down during October when the walnut crop is the highest. Ranchers who have already engaged their help will be doing a great favor to the school authorities if they will encourage the Mexican children to attend school regularly and study so they can get off. This scheme is being worked out in all parts of the county where the walnut crop interferes with school work. Teachers at the Palm streeer school are Mrs. Vincent Carleton, Miss Gertrude Tracy, Adele Howard and Leonora Clark. 7 TRAINMEN KILLED IN COLORADO WRECK FOWLER, Colo., Aug. 13.—Seven trainmen were killed, two injured and one passenger injured here early this morning in a headon collision between Colorado and Southern passenger train No. 609 and Santa Fe passenger train No. 6.

Aug. 13.—Oil companies were warned by Gov. Charles W. Bryan today to reduce the retail price of gasoline or state-owned filling stations will be placed in operation. The governor was today communicating with refineries in an effort to secure an adequate supply of motor fuel. Without a guaranteed source, the plan would be a failure, he feels. The executive is confident of success in the event the state does enter the retail business. While serving as mayor of Lincoln he was instrumental in cutting the price of gas and coal. The threat to build a municipal gas plants was sufficient to bring down the price and establishment of a municipal coal yard had the same effect. His past experience in that line will serve him well if state owned stations are installed, he feels. ASK HONEST REPORT ON GAS CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—Appointment of a commission of sound "business men" to study the gasoline question and report the truth will be asked of President Coolidge by a committee of oil men, it was learned here today as Chicago joined the ranks of central western state and cities warring on the present high price of gasoline. "The Standard Oil Company can make no comment on the situation now" said an official of that corporation today when asked what its plans were in the west and middle west. It was learned, however, that the price will be discussed when the directors meet this afternoon in their regular Monday session.

FIRST STEP AGAINST ANTHRACITE STRIKE WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.—The first official move by the Federal government to prevent an anthracite coal strike September 1, was taken this afternoon when the United States Coal Commission dispatched telegrams to John L.

The telegrams were not made public. of Iowa state officials to follow the lead of South Dakota in effecting gasoline price reductions were temporarily halted today while search was made for a state statute under which action could be taken by the state.

John Fletcher, assistant Iowa attorney general, said an appeal to federal trade commission might possibly be made by Iowa. The complaint to the trade commission would be levelled mainly at arbitrary price fixing by the large companies. GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE NEAR CRISIS LONDON, Aug. 13.—Great Britain and France again have been brought to the verge of a crisis by publication of the latest British note to France threatening independent action on Ruhr and reparations. Publication of the British communication drew back the veil, showing just how serious the European has become. The big question now is how far Premier Baldwin is prepared to back up his stern words. The Herald, the labor organ, declared the notes now being exchanged have the ominous ring of these that preceded the world war. The Chronicle, personal organ of former premier David Lloyd George demanded that the premier withdraw entirely from continental Europe, allowing France to struggle alone with Germany. This paper expressed fear that he had waited too long before taking a strong stand. Government circles were frankly pessimistic, expressing the view that France is not likely to back down, especially in the face of the war memorial speech made by Premier Potnicaire yesterday. Great Britain is closely watching the United States for an indication as to whether President Coolidge will support the British. Officials declare England would not hesitate to act alone, if assured of American support. It was admitted that the British notes were published in such a way as to insure the widest publicity in the United States. It is now up to France to make the next move by accepting or rejecting the British suggestions. $1000 LOTS IN ALTA VISTA PLACE $50.00 INVESTIGATES Aug. 13.—Wising lower gasoline charge of Paul H. eul director of the was called to charge of the man, director of of markets, an PERIOR.

SOUTH DAKOTA Aug. 13.—Efforts John Fletcher, assistant Iowa attorney general, said an appeal to the federal trade commission might possibly be made by Iowa. The complaint to the trade commission would be levelled mainly at arbitrary price fixing by the large companies, Fletcher said. A. E. Stock, president of the Des Moines Auto Club, said the principal business before the meeting tomorrow would be an attempt to device a plan for reducing local gasoline prices, and the opening of a co-operative gasoline station. L. F. Kuehle, Dubuque, president of the Iowa Independent Oil Jobbers' Ass'n, has called a meeting of his organization here Thursday when the direct in the oil industry will be discussed. George Moore, Chicago, president of the Mid-Continent Oil Refiners' Ass'n, will be one of the speakers at the meeting. Officials of the larger independent companies say the present unequal prices are caused by contract arrangements they are forced to make basing their prices on Standard Oil quotations. A 'wild cat' oil station can buy gasoline on the open market at 9 to 10c a gallon, but the large companies must maintain steady supplies and insure steady supplies to carry on their business, they say. each sific" bor Safest" d the Bay ight Bay oeing g - Dancing
