PICKETS HALT SHIPMENTS Minnesota 'Rebels Block Roads; Defeated in First Brush With Deputies Boycott on Market Ordered For Whole Mid-West as Picketing Is Called Off WORTHINGTOX, Sept. 19. W) Brandishing clubs and blocking roads with steel gird'-i, heavy wire cable and spiKcd machine belts, farmer pickets eeUiig higher product prices went into action hero today and lost in their first brush with the law. Sheriff Eldon Rowe and Deputy Sheriff Albert Levine, went to the aid of S. V.

Calvin and rescued Calvin's load of sheep after the pKkets unhitched his team, tijj Oie horses to a telephone pol and the 'wagon Into a ditch. Approximately 300 men patrolled ten highways leading into Worth-inston.

Farm 'Revolt' Extended To Entire Middlewest SIOUX C1TT.

Sept. 19. () A "revolt" against the selling of livestock and grain in all agricultural states of the Mid-West today became the objective of leaders of the Iowa born farm "war" for higher prices. The order, calling on agriculturists to withhold their livestock and grain until they receive prices equal to production costs, is to go into effect next- Wednesday, but OKung 1 wownec, upon, leaders of the movement. After spending weeks In laying the groundwork for the non-sell ing campaign, officers of the Na tlonai Farmers Holiday Assocla tion meeting here last lilght, deride ed the time was ripe for extending the strike into states far beyond the borders ot Iowa.

Heretofore the movement has been confined mostly to Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. If the movementj is as effective as the leaders hope it to be, it will mean that the farmers these three states ac well as Minnesota, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Kan sas, Missouri, North Dakota, Illinois, Indiana and Montana, will join the "strike." No one was prepared to say what the ultimate effect may be. This second phase of an agrarian revolt that Jjegan here August 8 will apply only to livestock and grain. Farmers need not withhold perishable products. Including cream, eggs and butter from mar ket during the next 30 days, but If the prices of these commodities do not reach production cost in that per od, they, too, will be with held, the officers decided.

R. L. Rlckerd, state president of tho Oklahoma Holiday Assocla tion, said his organization probably would follow directions of the na tional committee in calling the holiday in that state. County groups are working in 44 of Oklahoma's 77 counties, Rlckerd said. LINCOLN, Sept.

He waa Over Prospects of WRIT, WINS NEW DELAY Convicted Pair Must Appeal To Higher Court in Fight Against State Prison Another Week Given Dor an In Defense of Murder And Robbery Indictment SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19. Frank J. Egan and Albert Tinnin must carry their fight to stay out of tace's prison pending appeal from their conviction for the mur der of Mrs.

Jessie Scott Hughes to the District Court of Appeals or State Supreme Court. Superior Judge Frank H. Donne today refused to issue a writ of probable cause which would automatically stay the execution of the life sentence pronounced against both men. But lie granted Vincent Hallinan and Nate Coghlan, attorneys for the defense, an additional five days. In which to carry their fight to a higher court.

Judge Dunne already had grant ed a stay of execution running un til nelt Saturday. Under his new erder, the stay will be extended until September 29, and Egan and Tinnin will remain in the county Jail at least until that date. Another legal battle had been expected at today's hearing, but it failed to materialize. JIORAN CASE CONTINUED FOR ANOTHER WEEK The session opened, when Judge Dunne continued the case of Verne Doran, whose confession resulted in the conviction of Egan and Tinnin, for another week. Doran must answer to the murder indictment and also a robbery charge.

Tin--nln's hearing on a gun law charge growing out of the murder investigation also was continued for a week. Then Assistant District Attorney I. M. Golden, in charge of the prosecution, moved that a stay of execution for Egan and Tinnin be refused. "I thought I already had done that," Judge Dunn replied, and denied the motion.

Then Deputy Attorney General William F. Cleary took a hand. He informed Judge Dunne that the court could issue a writ of prob-able cause to the defense and "its only effect would be to delay the atart of the sentence against these defendants." "The law provides that defendants sentenced to life terms shall be con'ined in state's prison pending their appeals," Cleary said. "In our opinion the defendants can be taken to Ban Quentln and detained there pending the appeal, even though a writ of probable cause should be issued." DEFENSE HOLDS WRIT MEANS COUNTY JAIL The defense contends that if such a writ is issued, its effect will be to permit Egan and Tinnin to stay in the county Jail. More, letter urging leniency for Doran came to Judge Dunne over the week-end.

A former newspaperman wrote that "Frank Egan, the arch-criminal, who by right should be hanged along with the brazen Tinnin, is responsible for the predicament of Doran" arid urged that Doran be permitted to plead guilty to manslaughter and given an early parole. A nurse living outside San Francisco suggested that Judge Dunne "give Doran 20 or 25 years and everybody will be satisfied." Another writer, who knew Doran before came to San Francisco, urged that Doran be banished to Woodland, "where he was born and raised." "In Woodland he was known as Windy' Doran," and was not sidered very bright," the writer said. Egan spent -a quiet Sunday in Jail, attending services in the chapel in the morning and spending the 'rest of the day reading and examining the papers in his case. He had a short conference with Hallinan. Tinnin was visited brief, ly by Coghlan.

OP) A gov ernment spokesman took issue to day with "unfriendly form" or yesterday's British opposing Germany's procedure in demanding arms equality. "It goes Without saying," he said, "that we can not accept the reasoning of the British memorandum, according to which Germany of her own accord and without compelling reason raised a political issue of ast implications.

ENGLISH NOTE AGAINST PUBLIC OPINION, CHANGE "This Is an old question which has long been recognized by the people of all foreign countries as urgent. The English note is in striking contrast to English public opinion. It was not Germany which, out of a clear sky, forced discussion of this question, but the negative character ot the resolutions which came out of the disarmament conferences.

"Germany said nothing more than that complete and juridical equality of her armaments status must result from the disarmament conference. "Since a positive result seems possible along the lines followed hitherto, Germany pointed the way to a practical solution." "CLANDESTINE ARMAMENT" ALLEGATIONS ANSWERED He asserted that no normal man could understand the Juridical difference, as construed In the British memorandum, between the pur pose of treaty provisions and the conditions for achieving that pur As for th reported suggestion bjf, Premier Herrlot of France that an InternationaUnvestigatlon be conducted of Germany's "clandestine armaments" the spokesman said: "Any rm a government would and should he whiped like a mangy dog If It permitted foreign powers to exercise such control in Germany."
