By PALL MALL ON
WASHINGTON, D. 0., May 11.
Agony waa written all over President
Roosevelt's face when he consented
verbally last
Tuesday to a
compromise with
the- silver 1 tea.
They knew they
were getting a
good bargain be
cause It obvious
ly pained him so
much. He look
ed like a man
who had Just
been drained of
the last drop of
his blood .In a
trade. He was
Paul Mallon
too weak to protest longer,
The general supposition here Is that
Mr. Roosevelt has been reading David
Harum again. At least that great
horse-trader of fiction unquestionably
would sue the President for plagiar
ism if he could. Agony was Harum's
trade-mark. He was always groaning
bout someone getting the better of
him, but no one ever did.
Remembering that, some of the sll-
rerltes have been looking over the
eilver horse they bought at the White
House more carefully. They are ne-
ginning to get suspicious that he Is
blind at least in one eye.
As a matter of fact there were two
horses In the trade. -
-One was the nationalization of sil
ver. Nationalization is a big word,
but ite meaning Is not commensurate
with Its size. The idea behind it Is
that Mr. Roosevelt will take silver
of the hands of those speculators
(investors is the more polite term)
whose names were recently sent to
the senate by Treasury Secretary. Mor
centhau. He will pay them 50 cent;
an ounce for their silver. That will
net them a neat profit, not as much
aa they hoped for, but at least aa
much aa they had reason to expect.
That will cost Mr. Roosevelt around
1100,000,000, which Is small change as
far as the currency, problem goes. . It
to a cheap' price tr pay for keeping
the silver agitators quiet for a few
months.
The other horse Is a ghost.
That is the one Which Involves a
congressional decree that the cur
rency basis should be changed some
time In the future to establish a 25
per cent silver backing for money
and 75 per cent gold.
The "sometime" Is what makes that
eolt look nebulous.
Mr. Roosevelt would be permitted
to work toward the goal fixed by con
gresslonal decree in any manner he
wishes.
Disinterested inquiry shows that, If
fae proceeded to carry it out In the
normal way, It would be about 30
years before he acompllshcd the 25-
Til ratio.
Our gold backing now Is about five
billions. Some people count It seven
and there-quarters billions, but they
Include the stabilization fund and the
general fund, which should not.
strictly speaking, be counted as gold
reserve for currency purposes.
Our silver bullion reserves May 7
were a puny one and one-half mil
lions, not billions. The treasury also
had half bllllftn silver dollars, most
of which are used as backing for sil
ver notes. By the most optimistic
estimates you could not consldor tiie
existing sliver backing In the treas
ury at more than one-third of a bil
lion (roughly), because - the -ellvor
dollars are only three-fourths silver.
On this basis, Mr. Roosevelt will
have to acquire somewhere between
one and one-half billons and two
billions of silver at an average price
of II an ounce before he reaches the
25-75 ratio.
But there are only 50.000,000 ounces
of silver produced In this country at
thj peak of production. So, If Mr.
Roosevelt purchases only from do
me! tic producers at the average of II
an ounce. It means only 50,000.000 of
purchases a year.
To get one and one-half billions
rf silver reserve that way would take
him 30 years.
Even the most optimistic Democrat
wll concede that Mr. Roosevelt will
not be President 30 years from now.
If Mr. Roosevelt were Senator

LOS ANGELES, May 11. (AP)
Seventy-five thousand dollars a ran
som for William F. Gettle, kidnaped
Beverly Hills millionaire, had been
demanded by the kidnapers, the dis
trict attorney's office here announc
ed today.
Ernest E. Noon, attorney for Mrs.
Gettle, informed District Attorney
Buron Fltts that he had received a
telephone call "from a party who
Informed him they had Gettle alive
and wanted $5,000 ransom."
"About 8:30 o'clock this morning,'
reported Noon, "I had a telephone
call from some man,
"The conversation went something
like this:
'Mr. Noon?'
"I said yes.
" Will you pay seventyflve grand?'
"Why, yes, why yes.
" Well, make up your mind.'
"All right.
" 'Now you follow the instructions,
and everything, and you will be all
right,' the man told me."
Then, said Noon, there was some
reference to an automobile, and the
line was cut off.
"By reference to an automobile, I
mean that the man began talking
something about a car some place.,
"1 couldn't quite get the drift "of
It when the line was cut off. We are
now waiting for another call from
this party."
Two and a half hours after this
telephone call Noon suddenly left his
office. Whether or not he had the
ransom money with him was not re
vealed. Noon returned to his office again
shortly before noon, and announced
there was no statement to make, out
that he expected development soon,

"The sudden revival of activity,"

BY M'ALEXANDER
IN CAUSTIC TALK
PORTLAND. May 11. m Turning
from consideration of his own candi
dacy and of his own opponents with
in his own party, General Ulysses
Qrants' McAlexander, candidate for
Republican nomination as governor,
paused last night to lambaat Willi
E. Mahoney, mayor of Klamath Falls
and candidate for Democratic nom
ination as Oregon's governor.
Mehoney is opposed for the nom
ination by General Charles H. Martin,
classmate of McAlexander at West
Point. McAlexander declared he was
speaking not as a candidate but as a
citizen.
Docs ho maintain a, home in Ore
gon?" McAlexander asked, speaking
of Mahoney. "Docs his wife even live
In Oregon? Has he any Interest In
Oregon, its people and their welfare
and prosperity? Has he anything in
Oregon that he can't put' in a carpet
baa and depart from Oregon as he
came a few months back?"
McAlexander questioned Mahoney's
military record, remarking that "clear,
ly, he was of service age at the tic
ginning of the war": questioned his
right to political office in Oregon.
and charged that "If his announced
principles were carried into effect, he
will not only beggar the rich but
would make paupers of every other
citizen.
McAlexander said he did not make
the speech In interest of General
Martin, Mahoncy'a opponent.- "if lie
and I (Martin) are nominated in this
primary election," he said, "I shall
have plenty .to say in the ran eiec
tion. but in such a campaign there
will be no occasion to question the
Integrity, character or uprightness of
Mr. Mahoney a opponent."

NEW YORK, May 11. (AP) An
enormous dust cloud laid a gritty
yellow pall over almost the entire
northeastern part of the United
States today.
Sifting eastward through the
higher atmosphere to becloud New
York's skyscrapers In sickly yellow
haze, the vast dust blanket
sretched nearly 1500 miles west
ward to the banks of the Missis
sippi, southward to the national
capital and north to parts of the
Canadian border.
CHICAGO, May 11. (Apprehen
sion over middle America' crop pros
pects grew hourly today.
Parched prairies and plains, long
baked by a hot sun and swept by
awirllng, choking "black blizzards" of
dust, swelled the alarm ot agrarian
and city dweller alike.
The only note of hope waa the fore
cast of local showers tonight In Ne
braska and Korth and South Dakota,
and in Iowa tomorrow.
Elsewhere no relief waa In sight.
"The weather," said the official
forecaster, "will be fair almost gen
erally Friday In the north central
state, but unsettled conditions aro
likely In parta of the Orcat Plains
area, with some prospects of local
showers In that section by Friday
night or Saturday."
Showers Little Value.
Llcht showers have fallen In the
'Chicago area the first -.in-JIB days
and In Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas
and Texas, but they were regarded
as of little value. The Chicago Board
of Trade took cognizance of the situ
ation and the prices of all future do
llvorles of wheat skyrocketed five
cents yesterday.
Whipped by strong winds, the dust
clouds from the vast plains of western
Canada swept across the border with
undying intensity yesterday, befog
ging the entire area from Montana
on the west, Texas on the aouth and
the Ohio valley on the east.
So thick were the floating sheets
of real estate that airplane service
between Chicago and St. Paul was in
terrupted. Pilots reported that the
dust particles Invaded the upper air
as high as 10,000 feet, and were
sweeping eastward at the rate of 60
to 100 miles an hour.
Unprecedented Dust.
Experts said the "black blizzards"
were without precedent In Intensity
and the area Involved within the past
20 years.
Chicago's skyscrapers, which ordin
arily loom before the eye at great
distances, were virtually blotted from
sight. How many thousands of tons
of dust were Involved could not be
estimated. Air conditioning expcrU
calculated 308,060 particles of dust
to the cubic foot at the corner of
Clark and Washington streets, In the
heart of Chicago's Loop.
One estimate was that some 13.
000.000 pounds of dust had been
swept Into Chicago four pounds for
every man, woman and child In the
city.
Many person suffering from slnua
and eye Infections were sent hurry

Meanwhile, crop experts .agreed that
