Instead of continuing tc center their fire on Police Inspector Collins, they considered s. drive to oust City Treasurer Augustine J. Kone from his job.

"It is possible," sa.d Charles Scollick, former sheriff's deputy 8nd spokesman for tha Manning-Oonway-Scollick groun, "that we will get after Hone. Chapter 32 of the municipal code says that the position of any city official who nioves outside the city limits la automatically, vacated. "Hone lives in Town Line Road, Brighton although he maintains a voting residence at a downtown hotel, (Hotel Haywardi." Scollick said he and allies had no "present plan" to present charges to City Manager Baker against Collins. Earlier, they protested to Mayor Stanton that Collins had violated a provision of the city charter directed at political activities on the part of police, when he participated in a Fourth Ward meeting last spring. Stanton-said he had no jurisdiction and directed the three to Baker.

Scollick declared Chapter 32 exempts commissioners of deeds and constables from the requirement that city officials live In the city. This was in reference to the legal action brought by Hone's forces, designed to invalidate petitions designating George T. Manning for supervisor. Basis of the action is that the commissioner of deeds who attested to the genuineness of the signatures lives in Brighton and hence was incompe tent to act in a city matter. Scollick said the commission of the commissioner in question does not expire until Mar.

28, 1938. This action was to have come before Supreme Court Justice Duffy Saturday, but the Hone forces failed to put in appearance. How ever, their attorney, George Hof-fenberg, said last night the case would be argued tomorrow before Justice. Van Voorhis. It was Impossible to make service on' some of those named as defendants in the action before Saturday, he said, so Justice Duffy extended time for service to tomorrow.

While the law says such actions must be Initiated within 10 days of the filing of designating petitions that a show ause order was to been complied with in the filing of notice with the Board of Elec tions tat a show cause order was to be asked. Tha time for filing petitions expired at midnight Aug. 10.

A formal inquest will be held today. Anti-Aircraft Guns Set World Record Oswego Capt. Charles W.

Gettys of Fort Ontario said last night a new world record in antiaircraft gun firing had been set by the 62d Coast Artillery regiment of Fort Totten, Queens, during practice firing here last week.

tain Gettys said. A target towed by an airplane 10,000 feet above Lake Ontario was cut to ribbons. CHURCH OPENS IN NORTH CHILI Pup, Rescuer Ride UpRope Li'l Nell, a fluff of white Eskimo spitz puppy, is alive and well enough to wag her tall today after a plunge of 85 feet down the banks of the Genesee gorge. It is because of a fireman with strong arms and a long rope that Li'l Nell is back with her owner, George F. Millham, 959 St.

Paul Street, after her first adventure in the world beyond the Millham back fence early yesterday. The eight-week-old puppy nosed through the fence to the edge of the gorge and dropped to a rocky perch far below. Millham, walking about at sunrise, heard whines, peered over the ledge and beheld Li'l Nell, cringing on the ledge. John Arnold of Truck 3 came to the rescue. Lowered by a rope, he swept up the puppy with one hand.

The truck squad hauled Arnold and the puppy back to solid ground.

They are the Republican, Democratic, Stanton-Hoesterey and Monroe County Progressive League. Speaking for the third group, Councilman Hoesterey said yesterday: "There will be a number of conferences during the week. I cannot say now what form they will take, but it Is very likely we have a full Council slate in the field." Asked If City Hall firings were to be expected In connection with organization moves, Hoesterey said cautiously: "There will be no firings on thj basis of retribution." Busy 'Cutting He would say nothing on the composition of the councllmanic slate to be formed about himself and the Mayor. He declared he had had no meetings since last Wednesday and had been busy "cutting the grass and so forth around my summer home at 218 Curlew Street." Hoesterey added that "this is also my winter, spring and fall home." Republican and Democratic activities will be of routine nature, designed to prepare material and prime speakers for the campaign. Donald A.

Dailey, Democratic leader, is expected home Wednesday, but" what form his municipal campaign will take has not been announced. In repudiating Stanton and Hoesterey, the- Democratic organization in effect repudiated the present administration and its record, so that the Democrats will have to figure out a new platform for their ticket. Broderlck on Job Thomas E. Broderick, Republican leader, will be at headquarters daily, interviewing ward and town chieftains. The Speakers' Bureau under Harold S.

W. Mac Farlln will get in action immediately, with the Republican platform as enunciated at the County Committee meeting Aug. 4 as basis. For the Progressive League Dr. A.

E. Pearlman, organizer, said: "We will have a ticket ready to announce in 10 days. Right now we are waiting to see what Stanton and Hoesterey do. We have a platform about decided on and propose to launch a full city, county and school board ticket at a banquet at a downtown hotel. "We also will open a headquarters this week somewhere around the Fourt Corners.

Both the Progressives and the Stanton-Hoesterey group have until Oct. 5 to file petitions nominating tneir candidates independently. Democratic ward leaders, assailed by Stanton and Hoesterey as "spoilsmen," continued to maintain silence. Back from an Odd Fellows' convention sterday, Jacob Komenskl, Eighth ward leader and veteran foe of the city administration, would only say: "The Democratic organization ticket is fine. I have no other comment to make." U.

Fresh butter division winners: Denmark, Esthonia, Finland, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden.

grain is planted in fields that extend as far as one can see In all directions. Years ago all grain was cut with reapers, then came binders, then the big western fields brought on the "combine," which did all th0 operations of cutting the grain, threshing It and bagging the kernels. Theee machines were spectacular sights and still are. For years they were drawn by teams of 12 to 20 horses more recently by. tractors.

They were unsuited to small fields, primarily because they would not find room to turn around, Now farmers in Western New York may have their grain fields harvested by small combines that rush up the road on rubber, tires, turn into the field and begin work without any fuss or bother. These machine are comparatively Inexpensive. Large farms may afford to own one. but the farmer with a few acres of grain may hire one for a fee of so much per acre. For an additional fee the straw will be thrown out in bales.

One of the perennially unpleas- Democratic candidates were not idle while their Republican brethren were picnicking. They gathered at the Polish Democratic Union outing at Schuetzen Park to congratulate John general chairman, on the large turnout. Julius Hoesterey, Independent candidate for the council, was a guest. Group Gives Aid To Polish Jews Antwerp UP) Abraham Kandcl, New York, told the second conference of the world federation of Polish Jews yesterday that his section had raised $100,000 for "constructive relief" of distressed Jewry in Poland. Kandel is vicechairman of the federation In the United States, Other American speakers included Eenjamin Winter and Zcllg Tygcl, both of New York.

Tygel said the conference is aimed to organize Polish Jews throughout the world to aid "persecuted brethren still in Poland and in other countries where anti-semitlsm is flourishing." Hundreds of delegates from 19 countries, including Mexico, Argen tina, Brazil, Cuba and Uruguay, are attending. 2 Nurse Wounds After Long Duel Budapest LV Two duelists smiled as they nursed minor wounds In a hospital here yesterday. They battled with cavalry sahres for two and a half hours until stopped by their seconds. Both were unreconciled and vainly tried to continue. But at the hospital, they smiled when told it was the longest duel in Hungarian history.

One was Laszlo Zborovjan, city engineer; the other was Andru Prueckler, secretary of the Hungarian Fencing Association. As executives of the city sports council, they had disagreed on matters concerning minor sports. 4 Rain at North Pole Lowers Visibility Soviet North Pole Camp (By Wireless to Moscow) CP) -Temperature yesterday was 31.2 degrees Fahrenheit. A drizzling rain reduced visibility to from one to two and a half miles. The barometric reading was 29.68 Inches.

PROGRESS ON WHEELS ant tasks on farms' Is threshing. Arrangements must be made for extra help. If rain Interferes with drying oi hauling the crop from the field there may be delays. In the house the women must prepare for the extra feeding of harvest time. The job Is hot and folks always are glad when it is over.

The small, mobile combines represent a step forward and give one, an idea of what is coming In farming. One man tola me that the other evening a combine drove up to his farm and harvested all of the grain on the farm' in a couple of hours. In previous years it be necessary to drag a thresher Into place, cut and cure the crop in the field, then haul it to the barn for threshing. Men to feed the thresher would be recruited and there would be a lot of fuss and bother. With the new machine it is a routine task.

In a Western New York village the other day I saw a great scar down the length of. Main Street made by the knife-blade projection on the steel wheels of a tractor. That, to me, was the mark of a passing era. L. B.

P) For two hours weary police and coast-guardsmen dragged Lake Michigan Saturday night after an unidentified fisherman reported he had seen the head of a "beautiful brunet" floating around on the water, When they finally found the head they noted it had no body and was made of wax.

Later a department store disclosed It had recently committed several clothing dummies to a watery grave. When the contests were staged the rubber-tired tractors practically ran'away from the other machines. That result was not surprising to some persons who had seen the big balloon tires. In action. But It was a little surprising to many persons who had become accustomed to the Idea that all farm machinery must move on hard tires.

Last week when the potato club again conducted a field meeting It had what was describeed as the biggest display of farm machinery in the state. All kindcj of moveable, farm machinery was on hand and every piece oh rubber tires. This prompted Ed Babcock to call attention to the revolution that Is taking place In the design of farm machinery. He predicted that within five years every piece of such equipment offered for sale will be on rubber tires. Further than that, he said the wheels themeselves are going to be changed radically from what they are today.

"All I can tell you correctly at this time." he said, "la that the wheel.T will be round: more than that no one can predict, because Wellsville Solution of a series of daring home burglaries In. Wellsville and vicinity seemed near last night after seizure of a truck and its $500 load of stolen property, Police Chief Timothy J. Shine and state troopers from the Troop A Bureau of Criminal Idcntiflca, tion claimed they knew the burglar who had looted a half dozen homes in the Allegany County area and an arrest was near. Break In the case came when Chief Shine captured the truck: and nearly nabbed its driver. Tha chief and his son, Charles, were searching for the truck following the latest burglary Saturday when they spotted it in Genesee, Fa.

As the police car approached, It started towards Gold, Pa, Neat the top of a long hill, the truck; turned into a side road. It became stalled and then started to roll back down the hill. It jarred to a stop after ramming the police ear, The driver jumped out, raced tq the nearby bank of the Genesea River and disappeared. In the truck, Chief Shine found goods stolen from the homes of Homer H. Ingram, Ray Christman and Peter Cravenall.

Police said they were certain the truck was the same one that figured in a burglary here on July. 8 when household sroods worn stolen from the John Richardson nome, aiso with the nrevinus hiiro-. lary of the home of h. C. Whitford, when goods valued at $1,000 were taken.

DIFFERENTLY NUMBERED, and 39c, entitlm von on volume of th UNIVERSITY LIBRARY. (P0t, Mtra. hf mail.) NAME I ADDRESS CITY STATt i- a in COUPON i IP 55 I I A jubilant message of faith and victory was preached yesterday by the Rev. Carl L. Howland, of Winona Lake, at the dedication of the recently enlarged North Chili First Free Methodist Church.

Reading from the Bible used by Bishop Benjamin Titus Roberts, who foundel the church in 1859, he took as his text the Scriptural message, "Upon this rock will I build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against It." He discussed the many attacks the church has faced, and pointed out how it had emerged victorious through them all. More than 500 persons, one of whom, Mrs. Edith Warren, had come from Florida City, crowded into the remodeled auditorium for the service, which also marked the closing session of the 78th annual Genesee Conference of the denomination. On the platform were the Rev. Wilbur G.

Worboys, district elder of the Buffalo and Chautauqua districts; the Rev. Wesley J. Par-merter, district elder of the Genesee and Olean districts of the Conference; the Rev. Carl L. Howland of Winona Lake, presiding officer of the conference; the Rev.

Burdett N. Miner, president of the Seminary; the Rev. R. M. Cooley Board' of Trustees at Chesbrough and the Rev.

Thomas Simpson, former pastors of the church, and the Rev. Clark B. Wickline, former minister. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mary Schlosser, a missionary from the Free Methodist mission in Kaifcng, China, related some of her experiences in the Far East.

DEBATE LEADS TO DEATHS Charleville, France Two voluble Frenchmen stopped to argue yesterday in the middle of a railroad track. They became so excited they failed to hear a speeding express train and were killed. today the best brains In Industry are competing to design new, faster and more efficient farm machinery. Babcock has an lda that every piece of farm equipment will move on rubber tires, hut there will not be separate tires for each machine. "I don't think for an Instant that a farmer is going to invest a small fortune In a half dozen sets of expensive tires," he said.

"Nor do I think he is going to take time to change tires or wheels from one machine to another." To the question of how the shift might be made, he said: "Frankly. I don't know. I imagine the wheels will be mounted on permanent sxles or chassis or something of that ort. There will be a few levers to shift, perhaps a bolt or two to adjust and the wheela will roll out from under one machine to go into service under another machine."
