Edgar Hoover. Quietly and secretly, the boss racketeer submitted to arrest somewhere in Manhattan in a dramatic meeting with the federal bureau of investigation director.

The surrender took place shortly after 9 p. m. and an hour later Hoover announced it at BI headquarters. He gave few details, but asserted Lepke, the man with a $50,000 price on his head, was unarmed, that he was promised nothing to give up, and that Lepke said he had never left Manhattan in his two years as a fugitive.

The city subsequently raised the reward for information leading to the capture of Lepke from $5000 to $25,000 and only this week it was learned the I had likewise raised its reward. In announcing the surrender, however, Hoover said no money was involved.

Lepke, taken to the detention pen in the federal courthouse, was to be questioned all night and arraigned Friday morning before a United States commissioner.

Aug. 24 (P) -A "blue" corps of regular troops, driven back six miles in a day of mock warfare overshadowed by the first real casualties of current war games, made a "last stand" Thursday night against a superior invading "black" army of national guardsmen. Death struck into the actual maneuvers of 52,000 troops for the first time when a bolt of lightning hit a machine gun post during a torrential rain, killing three and injuring 11 guardsmen. The dead were Corporal Benjamin Faillia and Private Harry Roberti of company 102nd Infantry, New Haven, and Private Rocco Espostone, 118th medical regiment, Waterbury, Conn.

25 (Friday) (7P) -Government spokesmen who could be reached in the early morning hours said Friday they did not know whether President Roosevelt's peace appeal already had reached Adolf Hitler. The indifferent tone with which they received the news spoke almost louder than words. PARIS, Aug. 25 (Friday) (P)-- President Roosevelt's new peace appeals to Adolf Hitler and President Moscicki of Poland again raised new hopes in France. Government officials were cheered.

"It is another hope," one of them said, "even though slender." WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 President Roosevelt Thursday night addressed appeals for peace to Adolf Hitler and President Moscicki of Poland, suggesting three methods for avoiding war. These were: 1. By 2. By submission of their controversy to impartial arbitration.

3. Agreement to adopt the procedure of conciliation, selecting a conciliator or moderator. This was President Roosevelt's second appeal of the day, his first having been addressed to King Vittorio Emanuele of Fourth Plea to Hitler President Roosevelt's secretary, Stephen T. Early, pointed out that the president did not have in mind another "Munich," since in his to the president of Pomessage, Adolf Hitler he said: ing sovereign governments, is "Both Poland and Germany, beunderstood, of course, that upon resort to any one of the alternatives I suggest, each nation will agree to accord complete respect to the independence and territorial integrity of the other." This was the fourth appeal for peace President Roosevelt has sent to Adolf Hitler in less than one year, the first two having been at the time of the Czecho-Slovakian crisis last September, and the third on April 14. Mr.

Roosevelt suggested to the heads of the German and Polish governments a truce from any act of hostility "for a reasonable and stipulated period." Foresees Disaster To Hitler he recalled that he had not received any reply to the message he sent him in April, but he said: "Because of my confident belief that the cause of world peace -which is the cause of itself-rises above all other considerations, I am again addressing myself to you with the hope that the war which impends and the consequent disaster to all peoples everywhere may yet be averted." Mr. Roosevelt told Hitler furtherine people of the United States are as one in their opposition to policies of military conquest and domination. They are as one in rejecting the thesis that any ruler, or any people, possess the right to achieve their ends or objectives through the taking of action which will plunge countless millions of people into war and which will bring distress and suffering to every nation of the world, belligerent and neutral, when such ends and objectives, so far as they are (Continued on Page Two) (Column Four) Chamberlain Speech Held Negative largest with 130 missionaries.

Blood Praises Progress in Uintah Basin Reveals Proposal To Conserve Water Supplies By Arthur S. Winton FORT DUCHESNE, Aug. 24- Translating nearly-completed studles by state and federal government agricultural experts into a program providing for more efficient use of land and water was declared Thursday by Governor Henry H.

Blood to be the next step in successful development of the Uintah basin. Speaking as honor guest on the governor's day program at the seventeenth annual Uintah basin industrial conference and Indian fair, Governor Blood told of plans for 700 small water storage reservoirs in Utah to combat drouth conditions. He said that more than 400 of these were to be built in the Uintah basin area and that they would furnish water for late-inthe-season agricultural purposes and prove invaluable for communities. Value Demonstrated "Moon lake and other reservoirs have demonstrated the value of stored water to the basin," asserted the chief executive. "The basin water supplies still remain a problem.

The state wants the cooperation of all basin people in finding a solution to this problem. We must develop and pass on to posterity a better Utah. Our problems must be solved by the people- working with the state." The governor, in alluding to the B. I. C.

slogan, "More Acres With Profit Through Land Use Planning," expressed hope that the (Continued on Pace Eight) (Column Two) By Louis P. Lochner BERLIN, Friday, Aug. 25 (AP) -Adolf Hitler and his most trusted advisers deliberated early Friday on his asserted right to a free hand in eastern Europe in light of Germany's consultation and nonaggression pact with soviet Russia and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's speech to the British house of commons. In authoritative quarters, Chamberlain's speech was pronounced "purely negative." Only the ministers most directly involved surrounded Hitler at the conference which went into the early hours of the morning. They included, among others, Field Marshal Hermann Goering, Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels and Rudolph Hess, Hitler's deputy party leader.

High military officers also were present. The chancellery lights burned into the early morning hours and official cars kept coming and going while couriers traveled almost constantly between the chancellery, the propaganda ministry on the opposite side of the Wilhelmstrasse and the near-by foreign office. No communique, however, was issued after the conference. It had been considered unlikely that a communique would be issued, but men in constant touch with the chancellery presented the following picture: 1. Albert Forster, now the chief executive of the baby state of Danzig, can do two things--first, declare that Danzig considers itself part of the reich; second, ask that this latest acquisition to the reich be properly protected in view of the asserted "encirclement" of Danzig by Polish troops.

2. Germany will not declare war upon Poland. It will merely organize a punitive expedition to Poland to "establish law and order." One of the places that must be guarded from lawlessness, above all others, is Upper Silesia with its rich zine, iron, copper and coal deposits. To safeguard these deposits the "police action" in Silesia must be so fast that the Poles won't have time to blow up: or dynamite the mines. 3.

After Chamberlain's speech the fuehrer and his are more convinced than the advisers, British and French will not fight. By Elmer W. Peterson WARSAW, Aug. 24 (AP)-A "limit of forbearance" was believed consideration Thursday night as nation of 35,000,000 people made fate. Some of the reports envisaged a possible sharp warning from Poland to the excited Free City of Danzig- a warning which would state clearly and concisely what would be considered "unacceptable violation" of Polish rights.

There was a conviction in Polish circles generally that the climax of the European drama was being reached, and that the time had come, with all Europe alive and ready, to make Poland's position once more clear beyond doubt. There was no confirmation here of reports that Foreign Minister Jozef Beck had been invited to Berchtesgaden by Adolf Hitler, and it was generally held that the Polish minister would not consider such an invitation. Polish opinion, it was pointed out, would regard such a move as tantamount to yielding, and too reminiscent of the German procedure toward Austria and CzechoSlovakia. Significance was seen, however, in conferences Thursday between Foreign Minister Beck, British Ambassador Sir Howard Kennard and French Ambassador Leon Noel, at which, it was believed, the Polish position of the moment was definitely established. Meanwhile Poland determinedly continued to bulwark her frontiers and to tighten up the mobility and efficiency of, her large army.

The Polish press emphasized Poland's unwavering determination to defend her "rights and territory," regardless of consequences. It was officially announced that all leave for government officials and employes had been canceled. Reports by the German press agency of mass concentration of Polish troops around Danzig denied in responsible quarters. Outwardly Poland remained calm, but the tension was apparent.

Benjamin J. Gunn, 74, widely known for his biographies in verse of Washington and Lincoln, died here today. Survivors include the widow, Girard; three sons and daughter. Stay In London Accordingly, when the thirty German newspapermen still left in London urgently asked for instructions what to do, they were curtly told they must stick to their posts as there was no danger involved for them. Also, German ships are arriving and leaving AS though nothing were in the offing.

There is an indulgent smile in Berlin for the anxiety of the Italians in: not letting their big ocean liners leave their ports at this time. From a military point of view, the entire emphasis is laid upon measures on the Polish border. There no serious thought of any possibility of trouble from the west. 4. Preparations are going on as usual for the Tannenberg celebration next Sunday in East Prussia.

This is done in the firm convietion that the "police action" will have been completed in time for the celebration to be held in perfeet peace 5. In order that Danzig, while awaiting deliverance from Polish "oppression," may not be unprotected, the armored cruiser "Schleswig-Holstein" will arrive in Danzig Friday at 8 a. (2 a. E.S.T.). This cruiser carries four 28 centimeter and ten 15 centimeter guns.

It Is thus more than match for the Polish fortress of Hel. Also, with its 13,000 tons it has bigger tonnage- -according to the German belief than the whole Polish fleet put together. Plenty Force In other words, AS Danzig has not had time to build her own forts, she will have a swimming (Continued on Pace Four) (Column Three).
