By PALL MALLUN.
DENVER, Colo.. Sept. 27. At the
gateway to the Golden West here,
the nugget of the new national re
lief problem will
be found nearer
to the surface
than elsewhere.
Colo rado has
1,000,000 people,
and more than
200.000 are on
relief, one In
five. Little dig
ging la required
to uncover the
fact that the
bulk of these re
liefers are Mexi
cans, among
PAUL MALLUN
whom unemployment la considered
an old Spanish custom. They work
hard In the beet fields a few months
a year, loaf or wander the rest of
the time. The average citizen here
rarely see them.
Theirs Is something like the prob
lem of the Christmas tree deco
rators, who wonder what to do the
other 364 days.
Aside from them, the community
la almost thriving. A residential
building surge Is under way. Small
new homes are not only being built,
but are being sold. An actual short
age of Bkilled labor is predicted with
in sixty days by those who know
the situation.
The mountain wonderland west
of here attracted 26 per cent more
tourist this year than last, even
after a bad start caused by floods.
Retail 'trade shown- obvious algns
of health, approaching briskness.
Streets are crowded. There are few
vacant stores.
New signs of life are evident also
In the old mining towns, which lapsed
nr died years ago. Higher gold and
silver prices have not caused anything
like a boom. Both metals are some
what unprofitable by-products of
lead, elnc and copper, the prices of
which have not sufficiently Improved.
But gtlost towns are being reinhabit
ed. Possibly 3000 persons have been
re-employed by this activity.
The ghost hopes of persons holding
mining stocks (meaning a lot of peo
ple In Denver) have been similarly
revived. There la even an Inside
rumor that John J. Raskob and his
lawyer. Senator Pittman, axe coming
In to finance the reopening of aban
doned properties. Just as they did
with the Com stock lodo in Nevada.
The point is that, with these lead
ing industries (and even the beet
sugar Industry) getting along fairly
well, no dent has been made In the
seasonal loafing problem. None will
be. even If there Is a tremendous
boom.
Working citizens are shouldering
courageously the burden of providing
work for employables. After voting
down s works bond Issue several
months ago, they recently changed
their minds. Under good leadership,
the city approved a few weeks ago an
Issue. of J2.700.000 for water Improve
ments and $1,000,000 more for a sew
age disposal system.
This will furnish work for the
13,000 employables in Denver, but It
hardly touches the broader problem
which has a larger or smaller counter
part In almost every state.
It Is not uncommon for a Dcnverlte
buying a pack of cigarettes to toss a
state sales tax token on the counter
and say: "There's a token to that
o-an-BO governor."
Nor Is It unusual for a person who
can get his hands on the cigarettes
first to walk out of the store and re
fuse to pay the tax. If any storekeep
er Is audacious enough to Insist, he
usually receives from this class of
customers a merry invitation to . go
roll an oat.
This Is not peculiar to Denver. You
find the same thing In Illinois. There,
aluminum coins, representing mills,
are commonly known as "Horner
money." in honor of the governor.
Also in Missouri, where pasteboard
milk bottle tops, without rims, have
been printed by the state to represent
tenths of a cent.
These personal Boston tea parties
may not be Important fiscally. Most
people pay without a protest because
they know money must be raised for
re'.lef some way.
The real trouble does not teem to
be in the tax theory Itself, but In the
stupid way that legislators rave ap
p'o it Mrrchar.ls report few ctn
p'tipr In purchases above 60 cent.
w:.ere whole pennies, instead of .mills,
are involved. It is when the buyer
cf a five or ten-cent article Is re
quJtfd to load bis pockets up with
t range coins bearing only a nuisance
value that the annoyance provost
tcolt.

Mobilization Near Unless
"Provocative Attitude"

LONDON, Eng., Sept. 28. (AP)
Italy announced she has speeded up
her shipment of troops to East Africa
today, and In reply Emperor Halle
Selassie warned the League of- Nations
If Rome continued its militant prepa
rations he would be forced to call a
general mobilization.
A communique after a brief session
of the Italian- cabinet contained
friendly gestures toward Great Brit
ain. But Premier Mussolini made it
known hs Is not only continuing bis
last African campaign, but is acceler
ating ft.
After receipt 6f the communique
Halle Selassie dispatched a message
to Geneva protesting against Italy's
military preparations and provocative
attitude.
Belief In Addis Ababa was that a
general mobilization Is Inevitable.
Delegation Departs
Although the Italian declaration
said she would remain In the league,
the Italian delegation left here to
night for Rome.
The assembly of the league ad
journed subject to call, while the
council prepared to draft recommen
dations on the quarrel next week.
, European attention also was cen
tered on Memel, which will elect its
diet of 29 members tomorrow. Both
Germany and Lithuania are Jealously
watching the result.
Official London appeared uncon
cerned over Italy's gesture of friend
ship as definite preparations went
forward. The first call for bids on a
series of naval vessels included In
the 1936 building program was ls
sied. In Parts, officials of the Suez Canal
company, which Is privately owned,
indicated they would not close the
vital sea link Jn case the leaguo ap
piles sanctions against Italy.
ADDIS ABABA, Sept. 28. (AP)
Emperor Halle Selassie served notice
upon Geneva tonight that If Italy
continues her warlike preparations In
East Africa he must, In self-defense,
order a general mobilization of Ethi
opia's warriors.
Italy's provocative attitude Indi
cates an offensive is near, the king
of kings told the league.
Halle Selassie sent his message af
ter receiving news of the Italian an
nouncement today that the depart
ure of troops for East Africa was be
ing speeded up.
At the same time, the little ruler
expressed confidence the league
would support Ethiopia and prevent
her from becoming the victim of ag
gression. Rome Ti1p Denied
The declaration in the Rome com
munique that Ethiopia has completed
mobilization with the declared inten
tion of attacking Italian colonies
caused indignation and brought bit
ter denials from official circles.
Authorities ridiculed reports (not
carried by the Associated Press) that
Halle Selassie had been advised Ital
ian troops will advance toward Lake
Tana and as a result Is shifting his
forces.
Heavy intermittent rains pounded
down today throughout Ethiopia's
towering escarpment, and some mili
tary authorities predicted they might
continue Into October.
The rains, falling paradoxically dur
ing the nation-wide maskal ceremo
nies which pious Ethiopians declare
Inaugurate the dry season, undoubt
edly would delay any Italian offen
sive. Yesterday's torrential downpours
left the roof of the African world a
mire which was difflcut for even foot
travelers to navigate. They raised
havoc with mule caravans and de
stroyed bridges.
Although Emperor Halle Selassie
reiterated he had no Intention of pro
claiming general mobilization unless
Premier Mussolini of Italy forced him
to defend his empire, he was pre
pared to concentrate quickly a half
million armed men at strategic
points.
Today the negus sent printed proc
lamations of mobilization to his pro
vincial governmenta so the lattr can

ricane warnings were formally car
ried out at 11 p. m. by weather
bureau stations between Miami and
West Palm Beach.
MIAMI. Fla., Sept. 28. (UP) The
tropical hurricane surging up the
Florida enst coast was veering away
from the state tonight.
The course of the storm was
plotted by the federal hurricane
warning system as being out over
the Atlantic ocean rather than head
lug toward the anxious communities
along the seaboard.
The hurricane was losing Its in
tensity, weather officials added.
Indications that the storm would
not strike Florida were such that
the weather bureau said hurricane
warnings, flown since morning as
far north as West Palm Beach,
would be lowered at 11 p. m.
Indicated movement of the storm
away from the west coast did not
relieve the resort centers along the
ocean from possibly damaging winds.
While the strength of the storm
was diminished, there still were
winds of hurricane force near the
center, the weather bulletin, issued
at 0:30 p. m. said.
At that time the storm was placed
40 miles southeast of Miami. Gales

STATE OFFICIALS
FOR SITE DENIED
PWA Aide For Oregon Says
Money For Purchase Of
Willamette Campus. For
Capitol ' Not Available.
SALEM. Ore., Sept. 28. ( AP)
State officials tonight had neither i
taken precipitate action nor voiced
undue pessimism after having learn
ed that C. C. Nockloy, acting PWA
administrator for Oregon, had de
clared this state's application for
9700.000 with which to acquire a I
capltol site had been rejected at
Washington.
Hockley, who returned from the
national capltol today, was quoted
in Portland as having said:
"Officials in Washington thought
that the money for the site was
Included In the a3.isoo.000 alloca
tion. All available funds have been
allotted to the states and there
simply Isn't anything left with
which to buy land."
Former notification that the state
was to receive the 93,600,000 loan
and grant with which to replace
the 59-year old atatehouse destroy
ed by fire last spring was received
here yesterday. The application
previously had been rejected by
Harry Hopkins, national WPA ad
ministrator, but ths decision was
reversed following a meeting oi
President Roosevelt, Hopkins and
PWA Administrator Ickes, at which
It was understood a telegram from
Senator Charles L..McNary (R.rpre.)
had been read. . - -.
The application for an additional
9700,000 with which the state pro
posed to acquire the campus of
Willamette university to use as a
i portion of the ground for the group
of state buildings was sent In later.
Governor Charles Martin said to
night he was still hopeful that
the application for the 9700,000
would be reconsidered and expressed
himself as stll firmly convinced
more land was needed for the cap
ltol site. While no. definite an
nouncement was forthcoming. It was
indicated at the governor's office
that a definite date for the pro
posed special session of the legisla
ture would not be announced until
a more official statement on the
latest application was received.
Senator McNary and Governor
Martin held a lengthy conference
late today but made no statement
other than to say they had not
heard directly from Washington
concerning the rejection.
No comment was made on official
suggestions that the governor and
senator meet President Roosevelt In
San Diego In an attempt to secure
approval of the site project.
If both the Candlerla and Wit
lamctte sites are rejected "by the
PWA, Governor Martin has indi
cated he would submit all site pro
posals to the Legislature without
comment.
None of the 93,500.000 to be made
available can be used In purchase
of a site. m
In commenting on the rejection
which he said was definite, Hockiy
declared:
"Oregon really got more than Its
share of money, considering all the
projects that were approved. It
might be possible to get the money
for the site at a later date but it's
hard to say when that wilt be."

FOR NEW STRIKE
Passive Resistance To
Labor Board. Awards
Hinted Monday Dale
Set For Work Agreement.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28. (AP)
Ominously reminiscent of the pre
lude to last year's bitter marine and
general strike, the waterfront was vir
tually deserted today as 38 vessels
were wharf-bound, and the available
supply of "eligible" longshoremen ap
proached the vanishing point.
For the second time in two days,
longshoremen were defeated again to
day on the "hot" cargo Issue. Federal
Arbiter M. C. SIoss ruled yesterday
stevedores must work freight regard
less of strikes existing at its point of
origin, on carriers which conveyed It
here or at its point of destination.
He reiterated his decision on appeal
today.
The ruling found longshoremen
stalemated. To abide by the decision
ami work the cargo would be to as
sist in breaking the strike of a fellow
union, they declared. To reject the
decision would be a violation of the
award. Both, they admitted, were
equally objectionable alternatives.
From Harry Bridges, leader of the
"hot" cargo movement, came the
plaintive utterance: " I find my
self In the same position aa that of a
policeman railed upon to arrest his
only son.
No word was forthcoming from
waterfront employers, save cold facts
that "38 ships are now tied up. Five
more are being worked out by three
of these will probably be 'hot by to
night. The sluatton otherwise Is un
changed." Nearly 2,000 longshoremen called to
work the "forbidden' cargo have been
placed on the "Ineligible list," em
ployers spokesmen said. By Monday
the number Is expected to reach 2,400
or 3.000, completely exhausting the
supply.
Monday, too.'la the date set for au
tomatic renewal of present working
agreements. Should the impasse con
tinue, waterfront employers said, the
tight under the award to hire non
ulon workers will be exercised.
Longshoremen have not indicated
their next move.

$65,250 PWA FUNDI
GRANTED CITY FOR
Loan Must Be Approved by
Medford Voters Elec
tion Date Set Soon
More Storage Needed-
The Medford water commission's
application for a federal grant of
$65,250 to be used in the construction
of a new reservoir has been approved
by the public works administration in
Washington, according to a telegram
tecelved yesterday afternoon by Mayor
George W. Porter from the office of
Senator Charles L. McNary and Sena
tor Frederick Stelwer.
The proposal for the construction
of a new water reservoir must be
approved by Medford voters before
tlie plan may be carried out and it
Is expected that the federal grant
will be considered at a meeting of
the city council Tuesday night and
po&slbly a date set for the poll.
The estimated cost of the proposed
reservoir is 146,000 and It would
therefore be necessary to Issue bonds
to the amount of $80,750, the differ
ence between the estimated cost and
the fed em I giant. The bond Issue
must be approved by public vote.
The contemplated reservoir would
be built adjacent to the present two
reservoirs on Capital Hill, F. W. Schef-
fel, city superintendent, said. The
capacity of the new reservoir would
be 10.000.000 gallons, the storage ca
pacity now being 4,000,000 gallons.
Additional storage facilities are
needed to guarantee adequate ..fire
protection under emergency condi
tions, Mr. Scheffel explained. "It Is
Just Insurance," he said, adding that
city officials are also looking to the
future when, because of population
growth, a greater storage of water
would be required. It Is considered
desirable to build now when the fed
eral government will pay a large
share of the cost, Mr. Scheffel pointed
out.
The city council authorized the
water commission some time ago to
apply for the PWA grant.
HUEY LONG SLAIN
BY BODYGUARDS
PEORIA. 111., Sept. 28 (UP)
The Rt. Rev. Peter N. H. Wynhoven
of Now Orleans said tonight It la
his opinion that. Sen. Huey Long
was shoe and killed by his own
bodyguards.
"Tills opinion Is shared by many
in Louisiana who know more than
they dare tell about the so-called
'assassination'," the Rev. Wynhoven
said.
The pastor's opinion was voiced
when he was asked to explain how
It happened that Dr. Weiss, the
alleged slayer of Long, was given
full church burial rites If he wns
a murderer.
The Rev, Wynhoven said the
version of ths shooting that Is gain
ing considerable credence in Louis
iana is that Weiss accosted Long
and asked him to apologtsne for
certain statements made earlier In
the day. When Long refused Weiss
supposedly struck him with his Ylst,
precipitating a barrage of fire from
the guns of the senator's body
guard. One of the bullets presum
ably struck a marble wnll or pillar
and ricocheted, striking Long,
"I don't have any direct personal
knowledge that this Is a fact," the
clergyman ss'd, "but I do know
that there are indications support
ing this theory that no one dare
talk about,"
The Rev. wynhoven hsd been a
supporter of long's until he began
attacking Roosevelt. Four days oe
fore Long wns killed Wynhoven
wrote hlrn a letter announcing del
Initely that he no longer was syitt
