(AP) Para doxical ns It may seem, the first effect of the national agrarian pro gram, Intended to provide a bit or land for each of Mexico's long downtrodden peons, is lo swell the tide of emigrants to tho United Stales, according to Cesar Cordoba, general secretary of tho National Agrarian commission. This emigration, says Mr, Cor doba, results from tho fact that wealthy land -owners, when they learn that their peons have peti tioned tho national government for land, conspire, with venal authori ties to institute a veritable reign of terror against the petitioners. Without money or work the peons are unable to remain until the red tape cnvolving a division of lands is unwound, and are forced to mi grate. Mr. Cordoba maintains, however, that data in the files of the com mission shows that the real cauN' of Mexican emigration Is lack of land find that there Is virtually no emigration from sections where the good effects of tho agrarian laws liavo been fell. , Iron Ore to'sourccs or World .Menaced by Itust ami 'oitoIoii CHICAGO (AP). Mattllng ru.;l and corrosion costs approximately two and a half billion dollars a year, according to W. J. Overbeck. superintendent of the UuPont com pany of Chicago. "This sum spent annually to counteract the ravages or corrosion and rust will give a fair Idea of the total bill the world js paying for the slow decay of metals used in Industrial work which are nit protected against I hem," he de clared. "It Is a vital matter be cause the yearly waste Is making the Iron ore resources of the world exhaustible within a measurable distance of lime." Enterprise Orchestra Delights Local People fOontlnued from dbs 1Y tho program. It was openly stated by old-time chautuuaiia patrons that the Knterprls orchestra, had presented tho best program ever given on the I,a Grande grounds. J'rof.

He started the eve ning progrnm with that old favor ite orchestra number, "II Trova tore" and for the encore selection rendered "Hungarian Dance No. &.' George Thompson in a violin solo was excellent. Just before the In termission a special request for :Mrs. A. K. Parker to repeat her afternoon number was sent to the stage and In a very gracious and happy way she did so. Several en cores followed and the Knterprls lady sting "Carry Me Hack to Old Vlrglny" as her final number. In the number "Hoxtet from Lu cia" Prof. JIalnes pluycd the lead s ixaphone and I he selection was i vigorously upplauded.

NEW YORK Uy the Associated Press) Tha Democratic conven tion by, unofficial vote of 5-47 to 540 declared itself against a plat form plank naming the Ku Klux Klan in connection with its dec laration against tolerance. The platform was perfected at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, when, amid scenes of confusion seldom paralleled in tho party (history, plank condemning the klan by namo was pronounced rejected by a narrow margin. Tho convention also rejected a plank advocating tho league of nations as favored by -Woodrow Wilson. This question was decided previously to tho klan. question by adoption of a plank reaffirming in general terms only the - party's faith In the league of nations., . STORM TOLL LESS THAN BELIEVED ' ' (Continued from page 1) tre, a four-story building which partly collapsed and crushed many of the spectators at a matinee movie show. As soon as rescue work was organized Saturday night a survey of the situation led to the deduction that many scores had been killed, for buildings had been whipped down over the heads of several fairly large assemblages. At a bathing beach house, tho struct ro' war -torn to pieces nnd It was announced that dozens had lost their lives at this place. Investigation Sunday when light, permitted a search of the ruins, showed that probably everyone at the beach- had escaped with .his life. The fact that the ;tornado struck both Sandusky and .Lorain while factories were empty on ac count of the Saturday afternoon holiday, probably reduced the death toll by hundreds, for a num ber of manufacturing plants were torn down only; a few hours after several thousand employes -'had left thoir work.
