WASHINGTON. D. C Sept. 31.
One thing everyone here now con
eedea la that these new dealer! can
take nearly any
thing with a
amtle. They hava
been able to con
ceal their real
feelings about
eome of these
Democratic pri
mary resulta only
with great effort,
but the effort
never was greater
than when the
man Bilbo won
the other day In
MluiBSlDDt.
'raul Mallon
Vou may not know Mr. Bilbo, but
you will. He will become a Unites
States senator next January. For the
following six years he will be a na
tional character surpassing Huey
Lavs. He has promised it.
Aa one astute new dealer remarked
after hearing of Bilbo a victory
"All the senate now needs to be
come a minstrel show la a brass band
Bilbo and Long are the two best end
men In poltlcs,
The secret of Mr. Bilbo's success Is
not what you may think. He la not
anti-new deal. Nor does his election
wi.nn that Mississippi has gone ber.
aerk. He made a good reform record
in hta first term aa governor and
atlll la supported by many of the best
families In the state, aa well aa the
backwoodsmen.
The best authorities on politics
there seem to agree that his victory
can be traced to two things: (1) The
unoonularlty of his opponent, ano
Mr. Bilbo's promise of all things to
ml men. "
His political technique Is amazing
M hu been accused of nearly every
thing under the sun and a few things
over It, and he never denlea anything.
Indeed, he makes a virtue out of most
accusations.
Tor lnsance. a tale is told about
how one of bla opponents In a gu
bernatorial campaign accused him of
being too much of a, ladles' man. He
ehoee to make a reply tt a women's
political rally, where he said In ct-
le"The man Bilbo (he always looks
at himself objectively) Is 53 years
old. He has been accused of being a
ladles' man. He docs not deny that
accusation, but says that any man
who la 52 years old and Is still a lar
dies' man Is the kind of a man you
want for governor."
Jt la alao whispered that. In an
other campaign, he was caught In a
rather embarrassing position because
the candidate for whom he waa cam
paigning waa dying. Mr. Bilbo did
not bat an eye. Said he:
"I would rather vote for a man In
a graveyard with a good respectable
name than the rest of these puddln-
heads who an running around desn
hut. won't He down."
Some of the newspapers in ni3
state have said aomo things about
him In fighting words. He has been
on both the receiving and sending
end of bribery charges. One newspa
per once commented on the fact that
he hid In a barn from a court suo-
poena by expressing commiseration
for the animals In the barn. To all
of which Mr. Bilbo turned the other
cheek.
When a Jury absolved him In
malfeasance case, he . took .occasipi.
to say that perhaps the Judge, ' the
prosecutor and eome other people
thought him guilty, but he sided with
the Jury. Also, he Is the man who
made the groundless, assertion In the
1928 campaign that the Republican
presidential candidate had danced
with a negresa.
The new deal attitude Is Illustrated
by what Cheater Davis (AAA admin
istrator) said in Jest. He thought .lt
apoke well for Agriculture Secretary
Wallace's political acumen that. In
six months, Wsllace was able to de
velop a man capable of winning a
senatorial nomination.
Tha truth la that tha new dealers
Vwould not give Bilbo a good Job. In
order to take care of him, they gave
him a desk In the AAA and permitted
him to clip newspapers at a salary of
6500 a year, a fact they may later
have cause to regret.
Nevertheless, Mr. Bilbo will prob
ably rote with the new deal In most
important matters. He will go wild
csrefully and only on his pet ub
Jeet. such aa the cash bonus and
the redistribution of wealth.
But his election and some of the
others mean a tempestuous ana
amusing congressional circus this
winter. '
Another ,pot which has caused tne
new dealera to be lew happy than
their public statements Indicate la in
Ohio.
The new deal generalissimos here
have heard that Democratic Senate
Candidate Donshfy will make a
speech to the state convention short
ly promising to defend the constitu
tion. Private polls have Indlrste-J
Donahey will win In November. Pri
vate Information Indicates he w:li
support the new dealers only when
he thinks they are right, which met
not be as often s thev eroect.

TOKYO, Japan, Sept. 31. (AP)
At least 1,349 persons were killed and
4,303 Injured today by a typhoon
which swept central and western Ja
pan, The steadily mounting toll of cas
ualtlea Indicated that hundreds ..f
persona were missing. No immediate
estimate could be made of the prop

it would amount to minions oi col

hardeat hit of all, police reported l.
067 persons were dead and 3.057 In
jured. There also, the police said
181 were unaccounted for. The storm
swept from Angasaka to Nagano.
Only a hazy picture of the full
Tiwn of destruction has yet reached
Tokyo, for communications were badly
battered by the wind which in places
reached a velocity, of 120 mllea an

which reached tidal wave proportions
The casusltlea appeared to have

Osaka and Kyoto.

Millions of dollars worth of property
was ruined.
The countryside hardest hit was
the center of the Industrial district.
Heavy damage was reported In
Nagasaki. Tokusnlma, Tottorl. Waka

The police reported that In Osaka
alone 623 had been killed and 2114
Injured. In Osaka and her suburbs
128 schools collapsed ana pupiu won
burled under them.
The Kyoto police reported they nsa
found 203 dead and 858 Injured.
Although Tokyo felt only the edge

A fire, believed to have been due
to a faulty flue, completely destroyed
a farm house on the Klrtland farm
of Mrs. Alex Sparrow north of Cen
tral Point at 8 o'clock this morning.
Mrs. Sparrow, In a hasty estimate of
the damage this morning, placed the
loss at somewhere near (3.000. The
houae, which was a particularly at
tractive one, waa partially covered by
Insurance, although the furniture,
belonging to the employe living In
the place, waa a complete loss. Sev
eral fine old trees were severely
burned but, due to lack of wind, the
flames did not spread to nearby
buildings.
In a statement to the press today,
Mrs. Sparrow mentioned particularly
the fine co-operation of the Central
Pollnt Telephone company In advis
ing neighbors of the blaw. The
neighbors rushed to the scene and
lent every aid possible in protecting
the stables and keeping the fire from
spreading.
The Medford fire department was
advised of the flames, but was un
able to render assistance. Inasmuch
as the fire was ten miles from this
city.

Head of Justice Department
Says Hauptmann Did Not
Play Lone Hand in Crime
Move Toward Trial
NEW YORK, Sept. 31. WV-Fed
eral, state and city authorities today
considered the arrest of Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann. alleged receiver of
the $30,000 Lindbergh ransom monev,
aa a definite "break In the case," out
they were proceeding on the theory
that others were Implicated.
J. Edgar Hoover, head of the bureau
of investigation of the department of
Justice, disclosed that three angles of
the case have formed the basis of In
vestigation and enumerated them as:
1. The murder of the Lindbergh
baby.
3. The kidnaping.
8. The extortion.
"We will continue along the seme
plan," he added.
Step Toward Trial.
New Jersey, meanwhile, took the
first step toward trial of Hauptmann
for the killing or the Lindbergh baby.
Governor A. Harry Moore signing aa
extradition for the prisoner, charging
homicide.
Hoover' theory that others were
Implicated In the crime was shared
by Chief Inspector John J. Sullivan,
who questioned Hauptmann in the
police lineup today and subsequently,
in hla office, expressed the view that
"it waa not a one-man Job."
"This man Is not a chlseler In this
case," Sullivan aald. "Things are de
veleplng rapidly, but I am not at
liberty to talk. Aa the case no
stands, if Hauptmann waa not ac
tually present at the time of the
kidnaping, ha had a hand In the
machinery, tt waa not a one-man
Job, There axe others in It."
NEW YORK, Sept. 31. A mlldr
mannered, tight-lipped German wa.
named today as the man who extorted
50.000 from Col. Charles A, Lind
bergh for the return of the kidnaped
Lindbergh baby.
The formal charge of extortion was
entered early today, naming Bruno
Richard Hauptmann, a carpenter. Im
mediately after tha charge was filed,
Hauptmann, weary from long ques
tioning that began following his r
rw last Tuesday morning, waa taken .
from the Bronx county courthouso
to police headquarters.
When asked If the arnst of Haupt- .
mann could be interpreted as solving
the Lindbergh case,- Comlssloner
O'Ryan said he thought It could.
Hauptmann In Denial.
Hauptmann, who was arrested Tues
day morning after being kept under
police surveillance for several days.
continued to deny that be was the
"John" who received the ransom mon ,
ey from Jafsle in St. Raymond's ceme
tery. The case against Hauptmann, on
the basis of Information given out
by Commissioner O'Ryan, is tots:
1, He has been identified as, and
has admitted himself to be, tha man
who passed some of the ransom money
recently.
3. The sum of 13,760 in bills Iden
tified as having been part of the ran
soms money, were found bidden in
hla garage.
3. He answers in a general way to
the description given' by "Jafsle" of
the man to whom h paid the ran-.
som.
4. His handwriting has been found
to tally with that on ransom notes
written In the Lindbergh case.
fi. He is by trade a carpenter an
