Plan for Individual Districts
Abandoned for Present
Organization Work Will
60 Ahead by States
By H. C. HUNTER
(PaciXio Northwest Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, NOT. 38. p For
mslly announcing a policy for deter
mi nation of grazing right on the
public domain, Secretary Ickea aald
today plana for setting up Individual
districts have been abandoned for the
time being and the program ia now
proceeding with organization work by
atatea.
Ickeg aald a soon aa T. R. Carpen
ter, director of grazing, has complet
ed state organisation and land classi
fication, the public domain will be
ni bdl Tided Into small grafting areas
and a local administration suited to
the particular region will be estab
lished. Proper Land Use Aim.
The secretary said an outstanding
clause In the Taylor grazing act, a
conservation measure for restoring
and assuring proper use of the ranges
as they now exist or may be devel
, oped, declares grazing privileges
should be given "as may be neces
sary to permit the proper use of land,
water or water rights owned, occu
pied, or leased by them."
"The Intention of congress to sta
bilise the livestock Industry Is thua
Inextricably tied to the land and Its
proper use In connection with the
livestock business," said Ickes.
He explained that to discharge prop
erly this duty requlrea a stupendous
task of land clsssi flea t ion In order:
that grazing privileges may be allot
ted, for their proper use, to Uveatocic
producers to. the extent that the'r
operation are dependent upon public
domain grazing.
To Classify Land.
Ickes added that the land owned,
occupied or leased by stockmen mutt
be classified to determine Its value
In livestock operation, which will be
Judged by the character of the crops,
the yield and other considerations.
"All permits must be of such lim
itation as may be necessary to con
serve the n atural forage resources,"
aald Ickes. "They will be subject to
such ehftn'f aa may, at any time, be
admin Is tr. ely determined to pro
tect the public Interest."
The secretary aald that added to
financial difficulties on ranch land
In the public domain region was last
summers, drouth, "with feed condi
tions the most critical In a decadt."
The secretary said with the passant
of the Taylor grazing act by the last
congress, the government undertook
for the first time to regulate on a
vast scale use of these grazing lands.
The states most vitally concerned am
Utah, Nevada and Arizona and a great
part of California. Colorado, New Mex
ico. Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and
Oregon.
Organize by States.
- "To hasten this accomplishment of
regulation of the grazing land, the
director of grazing has abandoned his
plan to set up Individual districts
and is now proceeding with organis
ation work by states," said Ickes. "As
soon as that Is completed, and proy v
land classification can be made, It
tUU be subdivided Into amall grazliu
aresi and a local administration su't
d to the particular region will b
eatsbllahed."
Ickea aald the Interior department
and the division of grazing Is anxious
to work In cooperation will, the cat tie
and aheep men In bringing about an
administration of the Taylor wt
which will be satisfactory not only
to the users of the public domali.
but to the public generally.

Hunt Is On
In addition to all the power the
department of -justice could concen
trate In this area, half of the 200
detectives of the Chicago police force
were called, Into the hunt for the
baby face killer.
For hours after the new outburst
of warfare between the government
and the remnants of the Dllllnger
gang, the police combed the "bad
lands" of the city, striking here and
there for a clew to the whereabouts
of the pair. The second fugitive ia
believed In some quarters to have
been John Hamilton, a lieutenant In
the Dllllnger mob.
Two arrests were made by raiding
squads of police and federal agents.
Chester Leader, a garage owner and
Leserman -Huston, operator of a tav
ern, both described by police aa asso
ciates of .Nelson, were seized for
questioning. Detective bureau squads
also searched the home of Nelson's
mother and sister, but found no trace
of him.
The search apparently was center
ing In the north and northwest sec
tions of Chicago and adjacent sub
urbs, but was extended to Minne
apolis and St. Paul on the theory the
killers might seek a hideout In the
Minnesota cities.

contrary to his wishes, and they had
r.ot live together since.
Subsequently, Lord Ashley contln
tied, he received Information of Lady
Ashley's association with Fairbanks,
He charged misconduct at the Hyde
Park hotel and a house known as
"North Mimma Park" ' which Fair
banks had taken In the country.
Wife Also Sues
Fairbanks' wife, Mary Pickford, also
an American screen star, filed suit
for divorce last December.
Sir Patrick Hastings, appearing for
the petitioner, aald there were many
allegations but that be did not pro
pose to open an or mem and he re
f erred only to certain alleged Incl
dents at the Dorchester hotel.
Edwards, a youthful sandy-haired
man who spoke with a definite Amer
ican accent, testified he had lived
In Fairbanks' suite at the Dorchester
and that Lady Ashley waa living in
the hotel at the same time.
Lawyers said It would require sev
eral daya to fix the costs of the case,
which Fairbanks is to pay, but esti
mated the figure probably would be
about 2.000 pounds ($10,000).
During the hearing Sir Patrick
asked Edwards If Lady Ashley was a
frequent visitor.
Frequently Together
"Yes," replied Edwards. "I often
received Instructions not to dlstrub
them. She was very frequently there."
In further questioning concerning
the Hyde Park hotel Hastings asked:
"In October do you remember Lady
Ashley coming to his suite about
11:30 in the morning soon after
Fairbanks returned from Paris Octo
ber 23?"
"Yes," Edwards answered.
"Where did they go?"
"To his bedroom," Edwards testi
fied. "Were you In the suite all day?"
"Yes."
"Did you see them come out of the
bedroom?"
Again Edwards answered "yes."
Edwards then testified Fairbanks
was wearing a gown over bis pajamas.
He said Lady Ashlay wore a fur coat.
Edwards added that Fairbanks took
a house In the country where he and
Lady Ashley went to live for a long
period. He said he left the actor's
service May 20, 1034.
