Fourth Ward Insurgents Map Drive to Oust Hone from SHIFT BATTLE FROM COLLINS TO TREASURER Claim Job Vacant When He Moved From City Embattled Fourth Ward insurgents yesterday threatened to shift their attack.

Instead of continuing to center their fire on Police Inspector Collins, they considered A drive to oust City Treasurer Augustine J. Hone from his job. "It is said Charles Scollick, former sheriff's deputy and spokesman for the ManningConway-Scollick group, "that we will get after Hone. Chapter 32 of the municipal code says that the position of any city official who moves outside the city limits is automatically vacated. "Hone lives in Town Line Road, Brighton although he maintains a voting residence at a downtown hotel, (Hotel Hayward)." 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 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 titions designating Manforces, designed to invalidate, pening for supervisor. Basis of the action is that the commissioner of deeds who attested to the genuineness of the signatures in Brighton and hence was incompetent 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. However, attorney, George Hoffenberg, last night the case their, would be argued tomorrow before Justice, Van make Voorhis. service It on was some impos- 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 Aling of notice with the Board of Elections tat a show cause order was to be asked. The time for filing petitions expired at midnight Aug. 10. Finding of Bodies Dispels Mystery Ausable Forks (AP) Mystery surrounding the disappearance of a man and a woman from this village May 5 was dispeled yesterday when berry pickers stumbled across their bodies in a nearby woods. George J.

Culver, issuing 8. tentative verdict of murder and suicide, said relatives had identifiled the victims as: George MacDonald, 44, unmarried sign painter who lived with his mother and a. brother here, and Mrs. Ransom Smith, 42, mother of three children, who lived across the street from MacDonald, A formal inquest will be held today.

For decades no one thought of changing the wheel. Now I am told, manufacturers are working at top speed to turn out barrows with rubber-tired wheels. Rubber tires are all the rage on equipment that moves. Three years ago when the Empire State Potato Club conducted its summer field meeting at Fillmore one of the feature events was a contest between rubbertired tractors and the conventional steel-tired machines. In advance, of the betting was on the steel wheels.

"Rubber tires will slip and slide when ground is loose or wet," the way some of the, the interested persons reasoned. All of their experience had been with steel tires. of the steel wheels came Some, cleats and toes machined into the wheels. No matter what the slope, these cleated wheels could be relied upon to dig into the ground and pull the machine. Glad Tidings for Gladioli Fans Forerunner of what Rochester flower lovers have this week are the two spikes of gladioli being by Fred J.

Meyers, general manager of the annual Show, to be held in Convention Hall Friday and GOWNS TO VIE WITH FLOWERS Gowns ranging from informal wear to ultra-modern ballroom attire will be modeled at a fashion show to be presented as one of the extra night attractions at the 10th annual Gladiolus Show of the Empire State Gladiolus Society in Convention Hall, beginning Friday.

In conjunction with the opening of the show Friday, some 300 members of the Empire State Gladiolus Society from the United States and Canada will attend the annual meeting at which new officers and directors will be elected. Fred J.

Meyers, Fairport, is president and charge of the show arrangements. 'Beautiful Brunet' Proves to Be Wax Racine, Wis. For two hours weary police and coastguardsmen dragged Lake Michigan Saturday night after an unidentifled fisherman reported he had seen the head of a "beautiful brunet" floating around on 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 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 described as the biggest display of farm machinery in the state.

All kinds of moveable farm machinery was on hand- and every piece on 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 themselves are going to be changed radically from what they are today. "All I can tell you correctly at this time." he said, is that the wheels will be round: more than that no one can predict, because LEADERS RUSH 4-WAY BATTLE IN CITY FIGHT Full Council Slate Hoesterey's Aim, -Parleys Called distinct organizations will form, battle lines for the fall election this week.

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 will 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 the basis of retribution." Busy 'Cutting Grass' ticket. Broderick on Job He would say nothing on the composition of the councilmanic slate to formed about himself and the Mayor.

He declared he be, had had no meetings since last Wednesday and had been busy "cutting the grass and SO forth around my summer home at 216 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 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 Thomas E. Broderick, Republican leader, will be at headquarters daily, interviewing ward and town chieftains.

The Speakers' Bureau under Harold S. W. Mac Farlin 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.

E. Pearlman, organizer, said: "We will have ready to announce in 10 Right now ticket, 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 and the Stanton-Hoesterey have until Progressives, Oct.

5 to file petitions nominating their candidates independently. Democratic ward leaders, assailed by Stanton' and Hoesterey as "spoilsmen," continued to maintain silence. Back from an Odd Fellows' convention yesterday, Jacob Komenski, 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.S. Wins Place In Butter Contest Berlin- United States, with 11 states entered against 15 countries, placed among the first eight yesterday in cold storage butter division of the international milk products exposition.

Rating of the individual states was not announced, the states being Oregon, Utah, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Montana, Tennessee, South Dakota, Illinois, Kansas and California. No prizes were mentioned, and the judges merely betically the best listed, countries as Austria, Denmark, Esthonia, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United States. Fresh butter division winners: Austrial, 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 the operations of cutting the grain, threshing it and bagging the kernels.

These machines were spectacular sights and still are. For years they were drawn by teams of 12 to 20 horses and 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 machines 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- J. C. FOX NAMED CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY BOARD 20th Ward GOP Rally Told of Fall Hopes United 20th Ward Republicans formally presented their candidate for supervisor yesterday.

Jesse C. Fox, 47 years old and 28-year resident of Rochester, made his bow as speech-maker at a ward Young Republican Club rally at Elser's Grove, in Buffalo Road. Fox forecast a city and county triumph this fall for his party. Fox was born in Cohocton but he attended Rochester Business Institute. He has been purchasing agent for the Pfaudler Company for more than 20 years and is past president and member of the board of directors of the Rochester Purchasing Agents' Association.

Besides Fox, Al Skinner and other Republican candidates were marshaled to the speaker's stand by Arnold Dibble, general chairman. In accord with Republican policy, all ignored Democratic opponents, pending a formal campaign opening. Republican candidates also were guests at a 17th Ward Young Republican Club picnic at the Old Homestead on Irondequoit Bay and a 19th Ward Young Republican Club picnic at Rice's Grove in Chili Avenue. All three picnics attracted big crowds and the 17th Warders introduced a popular feature in the lunch. Frank E.

Lare was chairday, man of the 19th Ward outing and William Coyle of the 17th. 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 Kaleta, general chairman, on the large turnout. Julius Hoesterey, independent candidate for the council, was a guest. Group Gives Aid To Polish Jews Antwerp-(P)-Abraham Kandel, 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 Benjamin Winter and Zelig Tygel, 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-semitism is flourishing." Hundreds of delegates from 19 countries, including Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Cuba and Uruguay, are attending. 2 Nurse Wounds After Long Duel smiled Budapest as they (AP) nursed Two duelists wounds in a hospital here yesterday. They battled with cavalry sabres 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. Rain at North Pole Lowers Visibility Soviet North Pole Camp (By Wireless to Moscow) 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 rain interferes with drying or hauling the crop from 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 told 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, would 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 there would be a lot of fuss and and bother. With the new machine it is a routine task. In 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. SKEFFINGTON, Pup, Rescuer Ride Up Li'l Nell, a fluff of white Eskimo spitz puppy, is alive and well enough to wag her tail today after a plunge of 85 feet down the banks of the Geneses gorge.

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, swept.

Howland, of Winona Lake, at the dedication of the recently enlarged North Chili First Free Methodist Church.

DEBATE LEADS TO DEATHS Charleville, France Two voluble Frenchmen stopped to argue yesterday in the middle of a railroad track. They became 80 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 idaa that every piece of farm equipment will move on rubber tires, but there will 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 axles or chassis or something of that sort. There will be a few levers to shift, perhaps a bolt or two to adjust and the wheels will roll out from under one machine to go into service under another machine." Along country roads this summer many persons have been interested in watching the "small combines" harvest grain. Combince hitherto have been associated with, the West, where TRUCK YIELDS STOLEN GOODS Wellsville- of a series of daring home burglaries in Wellsville and vicinity seemed near last night after seizure of a truck and its $500 load property, Police.

Chief Timothys and state troopers from the Troop A Bureau of Criminal Identifica, 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. The chief and his son, Charles, were searching for the truck following the latest burglary Saturday when they spotted it in Genesee, Pa. As the police car approached, it started towards Gold, Pa. Near the top of a long hill, the 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 car, The driver jumped out, raced to the nearby bank of the Genesee 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 goods were stolen from the John Richardson home, also with the previous burglary of the home of L.
