CHICAGO, July 14 (TP)—The
weather bureau promised a swel
tering nation today that cooling
rains will arrive within 24 hours.
Rains fell early today in the
Dakotas and Minnesota where
the drought h “S been causing its
worst damage.
The downpours and cooling
winds they bring are expected to
spread along the Canadian boun
dary to the eastern seaboard by
night Points in the Ohio river
valley and further south may get
the welcome rains by tomorrow.
Temperatures in the parched north
west dropped 30 degrees after the
downpour. How much good it will
bring to farmers who have watched
their crops dry up in the fields has
not yet been estimated.
The mercury dropped to 74 in New
York today, but the humidity was so
high that the city felt scant relief.
However, rain is forecait in Manhat
tan this afternoon or tonight.

Other cities in the east welcomed
lower temperatures. Washington and
Portland. Maine, both reported 74
degrees. Newark, N. J., and Pitts

FUTURE MILITARY STATUS
OF STRAITS SETTLED
JOONTaEOX. Switzerland, July 14 |
(TP) —Turkish officials announced
today that almost all of the disputed
points involved in the re fortification
of the Dardentlies have been cleared
up by the Lusanne powers.
Turkey, Britain, France, Russia and
other interested nations have been
conferring for two weeks over the fu
ture military status of the waterways
leading to the Black Sea. Tjje fortifi
cation of the straits had been planned
by the Lausanne treaty
The conference has already agreed
to permit Turkey to arm the straits.
The main dispute was over Turkey’s
demand that the Straits be closed in
time of war. It is understood that
the conference now has agreed to a
compromise. The plan reportedly pro
vides that in the event of war where
in Turkey was neutrrl, the Dardenel- |
les would be closed to the warships
of belligerant nations. However, xwar
ships on business for the League of
Nations might pass the formidable
waterway:.
A drafting committee will meet to
night to frame the final terms on
the agreement. Delegates at Montreux
are hopeful that the final convention
will be signed before the week is out.

A compromise measure calling for
$45,000,000 was approved by Repub

Outside the state house hundreds

federal grand jury here today re
turned an indictment for mail fraud
and violation of the securities act
against 24 person- in connection wiuh
operation of a nation-wide investment
syndicate which, government agent
says brought losses of nearly $500,000
to Georgians and more than five m.l
lion collars to investors throughout
the coutny.
15 Counts in Indictment
Seven mail fraud counts, seven se
curities act violation counts and one
conspiracy count were contained in
the indictment.
In addition to the individuals, five
Illinois chartered corporations were
named in the inaictment, two of the
companies, Kopald Quinn Company
and McCormick and Company had
offices in Atlanta. •
The stock would be sold for 50 per
cent cash and the balance in 30 or
60 days before the second payment
was paid, the indictment charged,
the price of the stock would tumble
wiping out the purchasers' equity and
leaving him in debt more than the
market value of his stock.
The defendants then, the indict
ment charged, would appropriate the
money paid in by the customers to
their own use.
The other companies were Gould
•nd Cbmpany, Frank Munch and
Company and Robert Barr and Com
pany.

WALLACE TERMS
FOOD SHORTAGE
ALARMIST WORK
AGRICULTURAL HEAD DIS
CREDITS ALARMING
RUMORS
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July
14 (TP)—Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace believes most of the talk
about an American food shortage is
the work of “alarmists and propa
gandists.”
Wallace is vacat.oning at Colorado
Springs but is directing drought re
lief by remote control from his Pike’s
Peak headquarters. Last night h?
launched a slam bang radio attack on
those he claimed were respons.bl? for
false stories of a serious food short
age, caused by th? drought.
The agriculture secretary maintain
ed the country is much better sup
plied with food and livestock than in
1934 when the laU ddtuslating
drought occurred.
H? asserted; “There is no likeli
hood now of anything approaching a
national food shortage.”
Nevertheles, he warned his listeners,
drought is a national problem. Th?
government, he insisted must aid
thousands of farmers, regardless of
future weather conditions. Wallace
said that th® drought and economic
events of the past four years had
convinced him that a sound national
agriculture program is 'imperative.
Wallace outlin?d the government's
cattle buying campaign, promising
that farmers unable to supply food
for livsstock would find a bu'er in
Uncle Sam. The cabinet officer in
sisted that the buying program would
handicap neither consumers nor *he
farmers who took active part in the
program.
The secretary ended with the pre
diction that it would be necessary
to buy as much livestock as in 1934,
when drought relief purchases To

WHEN PIPE LINE
BREAKS
OKLAHOMA OITY, Okla., July 44-
(TP) —A leaking gas well that threat
ened to demolish the Oklahoma state
house was brought under control to
day. A dozen fire companies and hun
dreds of oil field workers were called
out when a pipe line broke within
100 yards of the capital building.
Thirty-eight million cubic feet of
inflammable gas rushed through the
hole. All electric lights were turned
off and citizens warned not to strike
matches or light fires. A singl? spark
would have been enough to explode
gas lines all over the city.
Workers now have succeeded in
packing the hole and confininz the
danger to a city block. That area has
been roped off and the wind is ex
pected to remove the last traces of
the menacing gas within a few hours.

Louise Beil today. Miss Bell claims
that a henchman of “Lucky’’ Luciano
convicted N?w York vice lord, came
to Washington early Sunday and
tried to mutil-te and murder her.
Although police found her bound,
gauged, and partially mutilated in
the gas filled kitchen of her apart
ment, they are frankly skeptical oi
her story. They started questioning
her at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
After frequently taking pen and pa
per into the quiz room as though
they had a confession of a hoax, they
admitted early this morning that the
girl stuck to her stcry. In fact, at
6 am. police questioners were all
v.crn out and gave up for a time.!
while the girl appeared as fresh as
ever.
Police are continuing the question
ing this morning. They say that the
girl h?s a reputation of perputrat
ing hoaxes for publicity purposes in
her hometown of Lakeland. Fla !
Washington detectives say that uu-1
less some break comes in the case I
today, they will make it "closed be
cause of insufficient evidence.’’ They

ARMS SHOULDERED
IN CELEBRATION OF
FRENCH EVENT
FALL OF BASTILLE HON
ORED IN VARIOUS
FASHIONS
PARIS. July 14 (TP).—French
troops shouldered arms today for
glittering parades throughout France
in celebration of the fall of the Bas
tille—on July 14, 1789.
In Paris the official parade was
held under the menace of riots be
tween Fascists and Communists. The
government forbid the usual patriotic
parades of civilians to forestall any
possibility of street riots. However,
thousands of mobile guards' stationed
in the capital could not prevent Fas
cist bands from singing the Mar
seilles as they watched the troops
click by. Nor could the police pre
' vent the Communists from singing
the Internationale. Both groups—by
the thousands —lifted their voices to
celebrate in their own way the sur
render of the Bastille prison fortress
in the French revolution.
The official parade winding up at
the arch of Triumph was viewed by
President Lebrun and Premier Blum.
Premier Blum ordered the special
guards to stay at their posts through
out the day to keep the Paris crowds
in order. Officials feared that the
bitterness between the Fascists and
Communists might blaze in furious
rioting before the celebrations come
to a close.

from the blood stream, Morgan ex
