WIDOW LOSES
FIGHT TO SAVE
HUGE ESTATE
Last Stand of Wife of
Senator Tabor De-
feated As Mine Is
Sold At Auction
LEADVILLE. Colo. July 17-—
—An auctioneer's hammer haa seal-
ed the last source of income from
the estate of the late United States
Senator H. A. W. Tabor leaving
the widow of the pioneer western
mine magnate in poverty.
Execution of a foreclosure order
here on the matchless mine climaxed
the fight of Mrs. Elizabeth Tabor to
recoup a part of the huge fortune
her husband controlled.
Since the slump in silver prices
shortly before the death of Senator
Tabor 25 years ago. hit widow has
attempted to curb the outward flow
of funds derived from the Tabor
chain of mines. In her final effort
she turned to the matchers property
which produced Jlb.000000 worth of
silver before production costs be-
came prohibitive.
On five previous occasions Mrs.
Taoor succeded in obtaining funds
to satisfy creditors but yesterday
was unable to meet the demand for
ready cash. As the sheriff announc-
ed the mine would he sold to the
highest bidder and turned the sale
over to the auctioneer onlv a few
persons assembled. There were two
hldders. Gradually the price climb-
ed from ts.onn to $14000 for which
amount the Shorego Mining com-
pany obtained the property.
Mrs. Tabor who has lived on the
Matchless property in a cabin for
many years was pot at the sale.
She was understood to have gone to
Denvor to attempt to raise money
to prevent foreclosure.
* Tabor’s grave is located in an old
abandoned cemeterv in Denver. Sev-
eral years ago the stone which
marked the crave was hlovn down
and shattered by a windstorm. Its
broken pieces now are hidden in the
weeds and grass that overrun the
plot.

G. OP. FARMER
STAND RAPPED
Corn Belt Committee
Approves Aid Plan
Of Dern Party
DES MOINES July 17.—<**>—Con-
demnation of President Coolidge’s
veto of the MeNary-Haugen bill the
republican farm relief plank and the
candidacy of Herbert Hoover today
were contrasted with the approval of
agricultural plank of the democratic
party as the results of a meeing
of the corn belt committee.
Members of the committee made
up of mid-westem farm leaders as-
sembled yesterday to discuss the po-
litical situation as it affected the
farmer in the forthcoming election.
“Organized agriculture speaking
through the corn belt committee
hereby expresses its determination
to carry on the fight for the princi-
ple of the MeNary-Haugen bill
which is the only plan that has been
suggested to make the protective
tariff effective on these agricul-
tural products of which we produce
a surplus without government sub-
sidy which we have consistently op-
posed" said the resolution.
The Houston agricultural plank
was commended on the ground that
it “includes a definite endorsement
of the principles for which organ-
ized agriculture has long been fight-
ing.” The republican stand on the
farm question was pictured as *‘a
renewal in less definite form of the
pledges adopted in 1!>2I at Cleve-
land."
"With every ounce of our strength
we oppose the Hoover-Coolidge pol-
icy of the industrialization of Amer-
ica at the expense of agriculture.*’
said another resolution.
(Continued from cage one.)
ar-a southeast of the pole wretked
the dirigible as we purposely drift-
ed with a storm to enable the mal*
me of this investigation.
‘ We remained over the pole at a
height of 150 meters for two hours.
Scientific results of the expedition
were satisfactorv. I carried on
scientific investigations after the
fall.
Russians Would
Search Ice Field
MOSCOW July 17.——The Rus-
sitm rescue mission aboard the ice
breiker Krassin was eager today to
make a search of the ica filled wa-
ters of the east of Fovn island.
Members of the mission were confi-
dent that they would he able to
lift the veil of mystery surround-
ing the fate of six members of the
crew of the Italia and possibly of
Roald Amundsen and his five com-
panions.
After the balloon nart of the air-
shin had been freed of the weight
of the gondola when it was torn tff
by the impact with the ice fioe it
drifted to the east. Smoke was seen
rising from the balloon and it was
assumed it came down about 25
mile* from where the airship was
wrecked. The six men hoard it were
Renato AHesandrini. envelope at-
tendant: Lieut. Ettore Arduno navi-
gator: Prof Aldo Pontrernoli. scien-
tist; Pr. Cgolago. journalist; Atti-
leo Caratti. motor attendant and
Calisto Oiocen. motor attendant.
Amundsen had hoped that he
would be able to effect the rescue
of these men and when the French
government offered a seaplane
vhi -h had been prepared for a
trans-Atlantic flight he accented the
offer. The seaplane in command of
Ca>t. Rene Gil baud and with a crew
composed of Lieut. Albert de Cuver-
ville. pilot; Emile Valette. radio
ooerntor. and Hilbert Frazy. me-
chanic. started for Norway. There
Amundsen and Lieut. Lief Dietrich-
sen were nicked tin end the six men
hopped off from Tromsoe on June
1R. It was thought thfit they would
go to Spitzhergee and establish a
ha«e there for operations. Wh«n the
plan# became overdue it was sug-
gested that Amundsen instead had
flown direct to the place where the
balloon group was believed to l#.
It was recalled that in 1925 Amund-
sen. Pietrichsen. Lincoln Ellsworth
and three others were missing for
almost a month on the polar ice
cap when their nlanes were forced
down and later flew hack to safetv.
Tve Krsssin is making for Ad-
vent bay where it will coal for an-
other voyage to the north in search
of these twelve missing men.

Infantile Paralysis
Still Baffles All Con-
trol; Serum Is Help
In Attack
NEW YORK. July Be-
lieving that on tha basis of tha his-
tory of tha disease they cannot look
forward with an ydegree of assurance
to an absence of outbreaks of in-
fantile paralysis during this summer
and fall doctors and research men
throughout the country are organ-
ising for a concerted attack on any
epidemic that may develop.
Every possible precaution is now
being taken to protect the public
from the ravages of the disease and
doctors believe the advances which
medicine has made in the knowl-
edge of infantile paralysis during re-
cent years should diminish the anxi-
ety w-hich its presence always oc-
casions.
Have Serum
No satisfactory method of im-
munization from the disease has
been developed but there is now a
convalescent serum taken from the
blood of recovered patients which
acts to nullify the virus if injected
in the early stages of sickness. Funds
have already been established in San
Francisco Boston and New York to
defray the expense of collecting and
distributing this serum which will
be placed in the care of committees
of physicians especially informed and
qualified to direct its use.
When the above facts and those
that follow were made known to the
Associated Press they were presented
to officials of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute of Medical Research and the
institute gave its official approval.
Germ Divisible
The main centers of experimental
investigation of the disease have been
at the Rockefeller Institute here and
at the Pasteur Institute in Paris al*
though laboratories in Germany.
Austria and Sweden have added their
contributions to the rapidly growing
knowledge of the disease. Infantile
paralysis is caused by an invisible
germ and is communicated from one
person to another only through the
mouth and nose. Cleanliness and
forbearance from contacts such as
kissing child/en. who are the chief
victims are the only known preven-
tives.
“It is necessary that parents keep
a sharp lookout as to the health of
their children.” one internationally
famous physician told the Associated
Press. “Symptoms of the disease are
readily apparent to tha layman. The
children run a fever become nau-
seated oerhaps. and complain of a
headache. These arc alao symptoms
of many other diseases. In a little
while the neck may stiffen or *n arm
or a leg become flaccid. It only the
child can be placed in the hands of
a competent physician before this I
occurs the results would be bene-1
ficial. These facts are stated not
for the purpose of alarming the gen-
era! public but merely to point out
the necessity for g*-eat care "

Hero of Theater Fire
Dies In San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO. July 17.—<*>>— Guy
Metcalfe 64-year-old motion picture
operator who was seriously burned
in attempting to avert a theatre fire
in Pleasanton Texas Friday night
died in a local hospital here today.
He aaw a box of films in his pro-
jection room ignite and clapped the
lid on the box in an attempt to get
the films out of the building. The
films exploded before he reached a
window and he was forced to throw
himself from the second story of the
building to the ground to escape the
flames which enveloped him.
About 100 persons int he theatre
made n orrierlv exit. The theatre
and two other buildings were de-

NO HE IN
CITRUS RATES
This Year’s Crop to be
Moved Under Ex-
isting Charge
The 1028 citrus fruit crop of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley will uo
shipped under the old freight rnte:.
according to information received
from the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission. No action in connection
with the establishment of new rates
on citrus and other fruits will t»e
taken before February 8. 1029 the
commission announced.
Under the order issued by the
commission suspending the citrus
fruit rate fixed by the carriers the
suspended rate immediately joined
the "untreated" class. The commis-
sion originally announced that rates
on all commodities not treated in
the tariffs which went into effect
July 14 must be treated by Decem-
ber 8. The time limit was later ex-
tended to February 8 and hearings
will probably be held on or before
date.
The present rates wh*ie not sat-
isfactory to Valley citrus fruit
growers and shippers are decidedly
better than those which aroused the
protests of nil southwestern fruit
growers shippers state. The present
rates give the Valley the advantage
in a large territory but the pro-
posed rate which was supended by
the commission would have given
Florida a decided advantage. Rep-
resentatives of the Missouri Pacific
and Southern Pacific have indicated
they would join the \ alley growers
and shippers in working out a rate
that would not permit Florida to
invade Valley territory.
Practically all the fruit crop of
the Valley will be moved before Feb-
ruary 8 shippers point out. and they
express confidence in securing an
equitable rate for future fruit crops.

ALBANY. N. Y.. July 17.—1&—
Apparently in no hurry to disclose

compl.te campaign organization in
conferences with oth -. among
them Senator Gerry of Rhode
Island head of the advisory com-
mittee. and Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross

an's division.
In consultation with the presi-
dential nominee and his running
mate. Senator Robinson. Raskoh is
also expected shortly to annouce
