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.—tfp)
—An auctioneer’s hammer has seal-
• 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. his 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 matchess property
which produced $10000000 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 be sold to the
highest bidder and turned the sale
over to the auctioneer only a few
persons assembled. There were two
bidders. Gradually th» price climb-
ed from $3000 to $14000. for which
amount the Shorego Mining eom-
panv obtained the property.
Mrs. Tabor who has lived or^the
Matchless property in a cabin for
many years was not at the sale.
She was understood to have gone to
Denver 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 grave was blown down
and shattered by a windstorm. Its
broken pieces now are hidden in the
weeds and grass that overrun the
plot.

G. O R FARMER
STAND RAPPED
Corn Belt Committee
Approves Aid Plan
Of Dem Party
DES MOINES July 17-—(JP>—Con-
demnation of President Coolidgc’a
veto of the McNary-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 rneeing
oY the corn belt committee.
Members of the committee made
up of mid-western farm leaders as-
sembled yesterday to discuaa 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 McNary-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 endoraement
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 1924 at Cleve-
land.“
“With every ounce of our strength
we oppose the Hoover-Coolidg# pol-
icy of the industrialization of Amer-
ica at the expense of agriculture”
said another resolution.

Russians Would
Search Ice Field
MOSCOW. July 17.—i/P—The Rus»
sian rescue mission aboard the ice
breaker Krassin was eager today to
make a search of the ice filled wa-
ters of the east of Foyn Island.
Members of the mission were confi-
lent that they would be able to
ift the veil of mystery surround-
ng the fate of six members of the
*rew of the Italia and possibly ol
Roald Amundsen and his five eom-
>anions.
After the balloon part of the air-
ihip had been freed of the weight

Irifted to the east. Smoke was seen !
'ising from the balloon and it was I
issumed it came down about 25
nileR from where the airship was
vrecked. The six men hoard it were

endant: Lieut. Ettore Arduno navi-
gator; Prof. Aldo Pontremoli scien-
1st; Pr. Ugolago. journalist; Attl-
eo Caratti motor attendant and

Amundsen had hoped that he
could be able to effect the rescue
f these men and when the French
•overnment offered a seaplane
chi.'h had been prepared for a
rans-Atlantie flight he accepted the
ffer. The seaplane in command of
"ant. Rene Gilhaud and with a crew
omposed of Lieut. Albert d# Cuver-

perator. and Gilbert Brazy. me-
hanic. started for Norway. There
imundsen and Lieut. Lief* Dietrich-
en were nicked up and the six men
opprd off from Tromsoe on June
9. It was thought that thev would

Infantile Paralysis
Still Baffles All Con-
trol; Serum Is Help
In Attack
NEW YORK July 17.-OP)—Be-
lieving that on the basis of the his-
tory of the disease they cannot look
forward with an ydegree of aaturance
to an absence of outbreaks of in-
fantile paralysis during this summer
and fall doctors and research men
throughout the country are organ-
izing for a concerted attack on any
epidemic that may develop.
Every possible precaution ia 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 which 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 cere 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
Tha main centers of experimental
investigation of the disease have been
at the Rockefeller Institute here and
1 at the Pasteur Institute in Paris al-
though laboratories in Germany
i Austria and Sweden have added their
j contributions to the rapidly growing
' knowledge of the disease. Infantile
paralysis is esused by an invisible
germ and is communicated from one
person to another only through the
mouth and nose. Cleanliness and
forbearanc# from contacts such as
kissing children 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 the layman. The
children run a fever become nau-
seated perhaps and complain of a
headache. These are also symptoms
of many other diseases. In a little
while the neck miv stiffen or an arm
or a leg become flaccid. If only the
child can be placed In the hands of
a competent physician before this
occurs the results would be bene-
ficial. These facts are stated not
for the nurposa of alarming the gen-
eral public but merely to point out
the necessity for great rare.'*

Hero of Theater Fire
Dies In San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO July 17.—<**>—Guy
Metcalfe 54-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 saw 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 orderly exit. The theatre
and two other buildings were de-
stroyed.
NO iANGEIN
CITRUS RATES
This Year’s Crop to be
Moved Under Ex-
isting Charge
The 1928 citrus fruit crop of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley will be
shipped under the old freight rates
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 i>e
taken before February 8 1929 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 while not sat-
isfactory to Valley citrus fruit
growers and shippers are decidedly
better than those which aroused the
protests of all 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 Valley growers
and shippera 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- I
ruary 8 shippers point out and they |
express confidence in securing an
equitable rate for future fruit crops.

SMITH LEAVES
PLAN TO OEMS
Party Leaders Confer
Making Campaign
Preparations
ALBANY. N. Y.. July 17.—(VP)—
Apparently in no hurry to disclose
the exact lines on which he will con-
duct his presidential fight. Governor
Smith is leaving the formulation of
campaign details to a group of
friends and democratic party lead-
ers who for the most port intend
to direct operations from New York
City
John J. Raskob. the new national
committee chairman and as such
campaign director was back in that
city today after a week-end out of
town as was Herbert Lehman cam-
paign finance director. They are
counted on by the governor during
the next few days to work out a
compl.te campaign organization in
conferences with oth among
them Senator Gerry of Rhode
Island head of the advisory com-
mittee and Mr*. Nellie Tayloe Ross
of Wyoming chairman of the wom-
an’s division.
In consultation with the presi-
dential nominee and his running
mate. Senator Robinson. Raskob is
also expected shortly to annouce
the dates for the notification of both
of their nominations. The expecta-
tion here is that Smith will be con-
tent to have the republicans fire
the first gun and that his notifica-
tion ceremony will take place about
mid-August a few days after Her-
bert Hoover is apprised officially of
hi* notification in California/
The governor is keeping his plans
to himself but friends are confident
he will take to the stump about
Labor day or shortly thereafter. He
plans to get over much of the
country but to conserve his strength
and voice and Is expected to limit
his speeches and to make liberal
us# of the radio.
