13 Denying I his administration was encouraging class distinctions, President Roosevelt declared in the home state of Governor Alf M. Landon today that Republican leaders were telling political bedtime stories irf making such charges against the New Deal. Sitting in an open car as a microphone was held before him the chief I executive addressed a throng in Lawrence stadium that filled to ca-1 pacity its estimated 10,000 seats and Representation Made to v.

"The people who talk about these class distinctions he asserted, as IIENRY GATE CRASHER i varied banners, particularly women who carried slogans of peace import.

The biggest banner of all was at the tip-top of the stands, reading The Valley Center Club Woman and carrying an amusing silhouette of a campaigning woman with a club larger than Teddy Roosevelts big stick. People in the crowd were telling how some had slept last night side by side on blankets rolled on the ground in the stadium so that they might hear the presidents speech. Interpolating in a light vein, the president reminded the crowd that the election is exactly three weeks off and he expects to live through it. The presidential procession drove out of the stadium past the stagesetting of a Kansas diamond jubilee show to the merry tattoo of a high school fife and drum corps at its center a prize winning corps in snappy purple and gold uniforms. Indians in regalia, up from Oklahoma for the Jubilee, were scattered through the street crowds here and there, adding to a scene already unusually colorful because of the vast and varied region from which the crowd was drawn.

Miss Helen Houston presented the president with a peace scroll, gift of several peace MNair Revokes His Resignation (By (h Anocitad Pittsburgh, Oct. 13, William N.

Respectfully yours, William N. McNair Mayor McNair arrived at his decision after conferring today with Leslie M. Johnston, who had been dismissed by acting Mayor Cornelius D. Scully. Council accepted McNairs resignation last week and Scully automatically became acting mayor.

Scully, president of council, and other members of council declined to comment immediately beyond saying they considered the McNair resignation a closed incident." Zatkovich, wh i also had been discharged by Scuuy, said court action may be instituted if the mayors right to rescind his resignation Is not recognized. Explaining the latest development in his turbulent career since assuming office two years and nine months ago, McNair said: 1 resigned to focus public attention on the impossible situation into which I had been forced. 1 I wanted the people to know the reason the city couldnt function was that council wouldnt give me a city treasurer. The mayors resignation came after he had discharged James P. Kirk as treasurer and council rejected his nomination of William B.

Foster. Council had announced it formally will elect a mayor on October 19. Solicitors Give as Much as Any in Charities Drive Tremendous Job Done For No Personal End or Gain The zeal and devotion of the women who have' been canvassing the residential district for the Community Chest is well exemplified by the brief report turned in today by one team of but two women. The report shows that these women called at 175 homes! That they found the occupants out In 38! That they received pledges totalling $18.50. These women were working in a portion of town where the residents re the least able to give.

In most Instances the pledges given repre-sent real sacrifice. But consider the weary hours which these women Jhave given; the long blocks which they have walked; the countless (times which they have told and retold the story of the Community. Charles Dorsey Contributes. A pleasant surprise was given Mrs. George Vosse, chairman of the womens division, when she received a pledge from C.

A. Dorsey, farmer secretary of the Iola chamber of commerce, and now secretary of the Grange Business association in Kansas City, who wrote: Im sending this with the hope that the enclosed 'widows mate may help complete the $4,000 goal of the Community Chest ar.d that the really modest budget may be liberally subscribed.

Death Comes to Pioneer Resident of County Mrs. Mary Ann Montgomery, whose funeral is to be held at the LaHarpe Methodist church tomorrow at 2 p. was a Kansas pioneer, having come to Allen county with her parents in a covered wagon drawn by oxen in 1869. Her father had helped drive a herd of sheep into the new country the year before and was so attracted by what he saw that he went back to Iowa determined to bring his family and settle here.

Miss Mary Ann and her twin sister, Sarah Jane, were 9 years of age when they made the journey into-the new west. There were three other girls and one brother in the prairie schooner as it rolled along the trail to their new home. The parents, Edgar and Sophia Hawkins Osborn, were not strangers to pioneer experiences. They were of sturdy Puritan stock which had come from old York State to Iowa in the early days of that state. The qualities of physical hardihood and personal courage of these people, who were among the earliest citizens of Allen county, were severely tested by the primitive conditions of the country, made more difficult by drouths and grasshoppers and the necessity of being always on the alert for prairie fires and Indians.

The new pioneer home was on a homestead eight and one-half miles sopthwest from where Iola now stands, in what has become the Pleasant Valley school district. Their first school was in a shanty taught by an elderly spinster who lived nearby. The Osborn children were pupils in the Pleasant Valley school when it was organized. Mary Ann attended school at Humboldt and Westport and taught for nine years in Allen county. It was while teaching at the Wise school that she met Arch I.

Montgomery whom she married in June, 1892. Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery lived on a farm north of Iola, later in Ft. Scott on the Grandmother Montgomery farm in Silver Leaf district, and in Colony, where Mr.

Montgomery died on July 10, 1912, after several years of failing health. Mrs. Montgomery had for years the responsibility of the home and its support. She moved, with her family, LaHarpe in March 1913, where she lived ever since. Mrs.

Montgomery has been a Sunday school and church worker all of her life, joining first the Baptist church at Pleasant Valley and later transferring her membership to the Methodist church in LaHarpe. She was the mother of five children, Mrs. Bertha E. Peake, of Albuquerque, N. James E.

Burgos, Spain. Oct. 13. (AP) Declaring several Madrid leaders had tried to gain concessions in return for speedy surrender of the capital, insurgent Spanish officers today announced their flat refusal to deal with government authorities.

The Salamanca headquarters of the Fascist armies announced several Madrid chiefs had tried to obtain certain concessions in return for rapid surrender of the capital. This was followed by a statement from insurgent general headquarters here, declaring the situation of our army is such that it is useless to discuss the surrender of Madrid, which must be total. It was announced Fascist planes again had dropped proclamations on the capital, calling upon the population and the authorities for complete capitulation to avoid useless spilling of blood. The leaflets added: If this surrender is refused, the strength of the punishment will depend upon the resistance opposed to us. A communique issued by the insurgents at Salamanca said Fascist chieftains were not negotiating with Miguel Maura, former minister of the Madrid government, for surrender of the capital in a minimum of three days.

It is true, however. the communique continued, "that several Madrid leaders tried to obtain from us certain concessions in return for rapid surrender of the Spanish capital. Kansas 4-II Boys Win. Dallas, Oct. 13.

With Kansas winds ruffling the fur scarf her husband gave her as a birthday present, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt stood today behind the open presidential car throughout her husbands speech to a Wichita crowd. Mrs. Roosevelt was coatless.

Her dress of dark maroon was trimmed in blue chenille applique with a bow at the throat; blue leather belt in a metal-studded design; blue chenille band at the bottom of the street-length skirt. Her shoulder corsage was an orchid. Boys and girls in the crowd massed in a stadium were adroitly slanting mirrors to see her in spite of the interference of their elders. The crowd in the grandstand was trying to catch her eye with their Coughlin Laying Tor News Reporter Writer, However, Denies He Tried to Interfere With a Meeting (By the Associated Press) Boston, Oct. 13.

The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin said today he was waiting over in Boston to get a reporter who, he claimed, interfered with a meeting between himself and Rhode Island officials of his organizations. The Reporter, John J. Barry, of Boston, denying that he had attempted to interfere with the meeting, said he would be glad to meet the priest.

Highly excited when he returned here from Providence where the incident occurred. Father Coughlin paced the floor of his hotel suite and called Barry an "interloper. I was just down there talking to my own people, the priest said. I told the reporters that that was what it was. Just the same I have a news story.

But Im not going to give it to them. Won't Give It Now. He pulled a paper from his hip pocket, waved it and shoved it back. No I wont give it to them now, he said. If I see that fellow.

I'll tear him to pieces. Barry, reached in Providence, said he was standing in a hotel corridor with other newspaper men waiting for the priest to leave the meeting. When the meeting broke up Barry said Coughlin appeared with an escort of Boston detectives. The priest left his party, the newspaperman said, snatched my glasses from my face, stepped against me, pushing me against the wall. It was very unexpected.

Barry attributed Father Coughlins actions to an interview which occurred earlier in Boston when Barry said he questioned him closely. Glad to Meet Priest. Told of Father Coughlins threat to get him, Barry laughed and said he would be glad to meet him. The radio priest wolild not amplify the incident. Im going to save that for my radio speech next Saturday night and Ill tell it all, he said.

The episode followed an address by Father Coughlin delivered at the National league baseball park, in which he said President Roosevelts own utterances were proof that he and his administration had "Communistic tendencies. He quoted from the chief executives message to congress of last January in which Mr. Roosevelt said, the priest asserted, that the New Deal had built up governmental powers which if beneficiently administered would be for the welfare of the people, but if administered by a political autocracy would provide shackles for the poor.

KILLS TO KEEP LOVE SECRET. Young Mother Confesses Murder, Expresses Regret. Kenosha, Oct. 13. (AP) Weeping bitterly 21 -year-old Ruth Moran pleaded guilty today to the murder of Herbert Winter, automobile salesman whom she shot last Thursday to keep him from exposing their illicit love affair.

Taken into circuit court in a surprise move, the young mother, who is expecting another child, waived trial and counsel, crying: Im guilty but I didnt mean to do it. I want to get it over with. Judge E. B. Belden then directed that a hearing on the facts be held Friday afternoon.

Taking of evidence is mandatory under Wisconsin law, even in the case of guilty pleas, before judgment is pronounced. The penalty for first degree murder, with which Mrs. Moran is charged, is life imprisonment. Pending the hearing, Mrs. Moran is to be confined in a hospital.

She was violently ill yesterday as a result of her condition. ELDERLY FARMER KILLS WIFE Slaying Follows Argument, an Oklahoma Man Says Pawnee. Oct. 13. (AP) Declaring in a dazed fashion that Ive just killed my wife, Ab 'Toler, 67, enfeebled farmer of Hallett, walked into the sheriffs office today and surrendered to Sheriff Charles Burkdol of Pawnee county.

The body of the woman, Tolers second wife, about 55, was found at the home. A shotgun charge had struck her in the head and the upper part of the body. Toler said they had quarreled but in his confused condition he was unable to give other details. He said he had walked from his home to Pawnee, about 15 miles. Stage Fall Fashion Show only within the framework of the meeting nt th PrWorfnei!" ar League of Nations and with indimeeting at the Presbyterian church, visible neare nnrl mllertive seeur- visible peace and collective seeur Landon said this was a broad relief outline of the Republican program: Get Rid of Politics.

Get rid of waste, extravagance and politics in the administration of relief. This first step in building an Intelligent system fpr handling relief is to find out the facts. The Republican party, as a major reform, proposes to return the administration of rfelief to the states. It will then be possible for the communities themselves to determine Just what form the relief should take." "The federal government must continue to give financial aid through the states. We intend to establish a system of federal grants in-aid to the states.

States Must Contribute. As conditions for receiving federal money, Landon said a direct financial responsibility would be placed on state and local governments by requiring a fair contribution; administrative officials must be selected on a merit basis; and encouragement must be given those who are trying to become self-supporting The nominee also pledged an efficient employment service and, a separation of public- works from the administration of relief. He said this would take care of those genuinely in need but was not designed for political henchmen and ward heelers." Duty Above Dollars. We shall continue to be liberal, the governor said. But liberality Is not enough.

We have duties that go beyond mere dollars. We have the duty of administering relief so wisely, so sympathetically, that human values will not be destroyed. And we have the duty of doing everything within our power to assist real recovery. That means to get real Jobs for the unemployed. In both these duties, the present administration has a record of miserable failure.

Money intended for the relief of human suffering is being diverted to the building up of a shameless political machine. No Future On Relief. But even that is not the worst that has happened under this administration. They may call it reform, they may call it national planning, but the ugly fact Is the members of this administration have condemned one-sixth of our people to live In a separate economic world of their own. Isolated from the main stream of our national life, they have been catalogued, registered, regimented and controlled by a federal bureaucracy which promises them no future.

All that they can hope for Is the bare necessities of life. In this separate world they are deprived of the hope and opportunity that Is their birthright 1 We must help them win back their independence Landon said "politics in relief under the new deal was a national scandal, a disgrace to the administration, and "a humiliation to the American people." Again today at Sandusky, the nominee said that "the proof" of the Roosevelt administrations failure was that eleven millions were Jobless after 7 billion dollars had been spent for relief, The meeting was addressed by Mrs Willard Green of Topeka.
