Smith; another minute John J. Raskob, Democratic chairman, sneaks sympathetically of Mr. Peek's views, and then comes a state ment from the New York governor that he Is against the equalization fee and the McNary-Haugen plan of farm relief. The truth is there 'is no inconsistency at all. Mr.

Peek would hesitate to say it out' loud, but he, too, has discarded the equalization fee and Ml-Nary-Haugen plan, largely because the hnttle aeiinst the theory that the fee is unconstitutional is, in his Judgment, too difficult to carry on. But Mr. Peek sponsored the Demo pratic nlatform which did not men tion either- the McNary-Haugen plan or the uequalization fee. He was in conference with the platform makers HmiKton.

Blackmer, former head of the Mid-West Refining and hold him for deliverance to a United States law officer. He is the missing key witness of the Teapot Dome case, charged with perjury, and he has made France his refuge, while fighting extradition to America.

A federal grand jury brought the Indictments June 15 following filing on June 4 of liens against his property1 in Denver and New York for a tola! of $8,498,935.78. If the attorney's mission Is successful, Callen will go to Ivjfance with a presidential warrant, calling for the oil man's return to the United States, he said. He said perjury was an offense for which extradition proceedings may be instituted under existing Franco-American treaties, but that final decision in the case rested with France.

Should that nation refuse to deliver Blackmer, the presidential warrant, which carries signatures of the president and Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg, automatically lapses.

-Peek thought it wiser to leave the exact formula to a legislative conference He himself thinks an excisa ax would he the risrht way to handle it, but he feels something of a mistake was made in wedding the farm groups tn a particular formula anyway and that If anyone has a better plan later it should be given the support or tne farmers. That is whv Governor Smith frank ly acknowledges he has no plan but will call a conference, if elected, to find a plan. HOOV ER GIVES METHOD Meanwhile, Herbert Hoover is going to reveal In his speech of acceptance his Ideas of how to control the surplus. The Republican platform plank did not fro as far as did the Demo cratic, but the nominee of the Kansas City convention has a right to inter vi-rt tia nlonlr Da Vie sups It. So the Question resolves itself Into whir candidate can encourage the farm groups more.

With her was her partner, Joseph Vanisky, Menasha, and Kenneth Pal-sky, also of Menarha.

The trio was returning from a dance at Marinette. The only solution offered so far is that Vanisky was tired after dancing most of the night and fell asleep at the wheel. He and Dalsky escaped with slight cuts and bruises but Miss Raddatz' back was broken, her skull fractured and she received internal injuries. She lost consciousness after reaching the hospital. Miss Raddatz and Vanisky, at midnight Saturday, July 28, completed 340 hours of dancing at the beach and are believed to have established a new record for the kind of dance in which they were engaged.

The Brown-co coroner was awaiting the return ot Vanisky and Dalsky to Green Bay before holding an inquest. Joseph DeBauch, 29, Green Bay, was instantly killed by a train at Pulaski Saturday night. He had been a patient at the Chippewa Falls col ony and was making his way home when the accident occurred.

Drive along a railroad right of war In belief that it was the highway. 2. To narrowly miss death when a Duluth limited grazed the rear end of the automobile in which he was riding.

3. To attempt to uteal the car of Eau Claire police while they were searching for him. As a result, R. i. Melville, 36, is being held on charges of driving an automobile while intoxicated.

$3,700,000,000 Present estimates would devote to army and navy avfcition $69,000,000 in 1930 as compared to $38,000,000 in the previous budget. Further, General Lord indicated, an increase would also be allowed to the aeronautical branch of the commerce department. Estimates tor public buildings were boosted In the 1930 estimates to $35,. 000,000 from $33,600,000 In 1929. In $10,000,000 had been allowed for war and navy department building programs.

A paper deficit of about $94,00,000 on next June 30, was estimated by General Lord upon arriving here. He accounted for this by considering the large appropriations already spproved by Congress with, the presumably reduced revenues on account of the tax reduction passed at the last session of congress, To be added to the above deficit, the budget director said, was also an Increase of about $19,000,000 in pensions and $16,000,000 for Increased cost of mail distribution. On thn other hand, he sold f. to provide for the return of alien property would probably not be expended thus making the paper deficit total about 105,000,000, I -v IjoimUhi C4) Major Kn.slmir Ku bala, rescued Polish airman, Mated Monday a tube feeding oil Into the motor ot his plane stopped after he had been flying for 21 hours toward America.

Turning back while well out to sea on their attempted flight from Paris to New York, the aviators were In serious straits when resued Saturday by tho German stenmship Samos. The strain of some .10 hours flying had be gun to tell on the gasoline feed line and trouble developed. As they flew toward Cajie I'inisterre, the western most point of Spain, hoping to reach land before their engine went dead they saw the Samos, GO miles off shore The airmen turned toward the ship and circling over It dropped a message In a small tube Weighted with pebbles on Its deck.

Courtney a'nd three companions were picked up by tlie steamship Mlnnewaska on Thursday after being adrift ten hours. Courtney had hopped off from the Azores for Newfoundland, Like tho Polish plane trouble had developed with his fuel supply fij'stem. a broken gas line had sprayed fuel against the hot motors and Are forced a rapid descent. Courtney and the Polish flyers are the only ones who have Is-en rescued after failing to reach land on an east to west flight across tho Atlantic. Last year Charles Nungesser and Karnaols Coll the first to try the Par-Is to New York flight, disappeared after leaving France.

Soon afterward the Princess Lowensteln Werthelm and two companions hopped off from England for America and were swallowed up by the Atlantic. In March this year, the Honorable Elsie Mackaye and Captain Walter Hlnchllffe perished In an attempt to fly from England to the United States. Tho Marszalek Pllwudskl had apparently flown In great circles over the ocean after leaving the coast of France. No report of the Polish flyers having been sighted came from the Azores which they Intended to fly over Friday night. Early Saturday morning, however, the Norwegian tanker Aztec reported sighting a biplane, which resembles sesqulplane, 200 miles north of the Azores.

At that time the airmen should have been far beyond that point If they had held to their course ond kept up a normal speed. Further mystery developed for those who waited on both shores of the Atlantic, when the Itrltish steamer Amu-kura three hours later reported sighting the plane several miles northeast ot the position given by the Aztec. It then appeared that the Poles bad abandoned their transatlantlo flight and were trying to reach Europe.

Lord, director of the budget, arrived here Monday to submit to President Coolldge preliminary budget estimates for the fiscal year 1930 totalling slightly less than $3,700,000,000. The budget director said that although granting substantial increases to a rjumber of government departments, ho had managed to keep the total within the figure which had been set by President Coolldge. The budget for the fiscal year just ended amounted to about t3.300,0on,ooo. The Increase over the total of previous years. General Lord explained, was accounted for not only by increased proposed 'appropriations for government sgencles but by the fact that all probable expenditures were provided for tn the 1930 estimates, whereas previously many times such as tax refunds, were not taken Into account.

An increase of nearly $40,000,000 for national defense over the previous year Included In the preliminary estimates brought to Superior today. For this purpose, General Lord plans to devote 11159,000,000 In 1030. Several army and navy bills are pending however, which may upset these figures somewhat..
