Sunday, June 4, 1933. HERALD AND REVIEW Roosevelt's OK Sought on Vet Cut Limit House Looks to White House for Guidance Washington AP President Roosevelt's views cn the Senate limitation placed upon the cuts he may make in veterans allowances were sought Saturday and members of Congress who talked with him came away from the White House with the impression that he would voice no objection. Meanwhile, the prediction was made by House Democratic leaders that the House would accept the 25 per cent. limitation imposed upon cuts in compensation of injured war veterans. The amendment added $170,000,000 to the independent offices appropriation bill.

Action Next Week The bill probably will be brought up in the House for action on the early next week. changes, Cutting N. a friend of the President for many years and one of the western Republican independents who sup-. ported him in the campaign, was one of those who called at the White House during the day to seek the President's views. Speaker Rainey told reporters that the "House is in as much revolt as the Senate against President Roosevelt's economy program as it affects veterans.

He predicted that "unless President Roosevelt signifies that he won't stand for it" the limitation would be accepted. Rainey suggested, however, there might be some modification in the Senate amendment. Spanish Leaders Flayed by Pope President, Others ExCommunicated by Church Vatican City-AP-President Niceto Alcala Zamora of Spain and other members of the Spanish government were automatically excommunicated from the Roman Catholic church Saturday as the result of new Spanish religious laws described by Pope Pius as "a serious attack on religion and the church." The excommunication was announced by papal secretary of state after Pope had suddenly the and dramatically issued a scorching encyclical indicating the heads of the Republican regime at Madrid of grave spiritual crimes. Spiritual War Diplomatic circles here interpreted the encyclical as a "declaration of spiritual war" and predicted the breaking off of diplomatic relations between Spain and Holy See. The Pontiff his menifesto to all the bishops in the world.

He asserted that he was making no attempt to thwart political reforms, "because the church accommodates herself to all forms of government and civil institutions, provided the rights of God and the Christian conscience are left intact." (The Spanish congregations law, containing many of the provisions against which the Pope complained, was signed Friday in Madrid by President Alcala Zamora.) Blind, Says He Was Forced to Donate to Custer's Funds Legislators Hear Charge by Sightless State Employe Chicago A -Charges were made before a legislative subcommittee hearing Saturday that blind employes of the state departments of public welfare were forced to contribute to campaign funds in last year's primary election. Charles Edward Comstock, former blind chief of the division of audit blind in the welfare said he had been forced to contribute $112.50, half a month's pay. He said the contribution went toward the campaign of Omer N. Custer, unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for governor. Comstock said the money was solicited from him by 7.

B. Bentley as a representative of the office of Rodney H. Brandon, head of the state department of public welfare. Raymond T. O'Keefe, chairman of the legislative group, announced Brandon, Bentley, and G.

Def Kinney of the state department of finance, to whom Comstock's check was made payable, would be summoned as witnesses. Ten Dead, 50 Hurt in Big Oil Blast Signal Hill, number of known dead in the explosion and fire which devastated an area of four blocks in this city of oil derricks and refineries Friday was increased to 10 Saturday. More than 50 persons were injured. The damage, still being checked, ran into hundreds of thousands of dollars. The bodies of Robert Bennet and Carl E.

Robinson, both of Long Beach, were found in the wreckage of the D'Angelo Oil company plant. Hodapp Sets Pace for Sluggers in American League Boston Infielder Replaces West at Top Additional Sports Chicago- Urban (Johnny) Hodapp, the Boston Red Sox' second baseman, apparently has become the hitter he was expected to be when he broke into the American league several years ago. Traded to the Chicago White Sox by Cleveland last year, and sent by the Sox to Boston, Hodapp finally hit his stride, according to semi-official figures which include Friday's games, was the league's leading hitter with an average of .374. During the past week he belted the pitching for 12 hits and replaced Sam West of St. Louis, at the top of the list.

West, after two weeks of inactivity due to an injury, got back into the game only to lose 18 points and slip down to fourth place behind Ben Chapman of the Yankees and Al Simmons of the White Sox. Gehrig Keeps Honors While the other boys were fighting for top' position in the averages, Lou Gehrig of the Yankees, retained the leadership in two departments and took over another. He had 10 home runs and had scored 36 times, and in addition passed Simmons in total bases by running his collection to 90. Simmons remained as the leader in base hits with 59, nine more than he had a week ago. Luke Appling, Chicago's young shortstop, went into a spurt and moved out ahead of Jimmy Foxx of the Athletics, in batting in runners, having propelled in 35 runs.

The rest of the individual leaderships remained in the same hands. Earl Combs of New York, had seven triples; Earl Averill of Cleveland, had knocked out 15 two base hits, and Gerald Walker, Detroit outfield; Galen six bases. The ders. following Hodapp. were.

.316. Three Unbeaten Hurlers Don Brennan and Johnny Allen of the Yankees, and Bill McAfee of Washington, were undefeated among the pitchers, but there were other records at least as impressive. Brennan had won four straight, while the other pair had won three in a row. Russ Van Atta, yong Yankee southpaw, had won four out of five, but Oral Hildebrand of Cleveland, Bob Grove of the A's, Alvin Crowder of Washington, and Vernon Gomez, the other Yank southpaw, had chalked up seven triumphs each. Hildebrand and Grove each had suffered two defeats while the other pair had been back thre times apiece.

Muldoon, "Sports Man of Honesty" Dies at Age of 82 Known as John L. Sullivan's Discoverer Purchase, N. Muldoon, mightiest man of the gaslit '80s, sports "solid man" of honesty and fairness for half a century, died peacefully Saturday at the health farm where he added years to the lives of thousands. He was 88 years old nine day: ago. He passed away at 3:40 a.

m. (E. S. meeting death with the same staunch fearlessness with which he fought through the Civil war, tamed the turbulent spirit of the great John L. Sullivan, ruled boxing in New York for 10 years, and bent to his will such men as Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft, and Elihu Root, Chauncey Depew and Edward H.

Harriman when they came to his acres seeking health. Cancer Takes Toll A few days ago, after Gene Tunney, who was as close to him as a son, and other friends had visited with him on his birthday, he called his adopted daughter, Margaret Farrell Muldoon, and told her casually that he wasn't going to get well. He said he would march in a decoration day parade with the few Army veterans left. Then he'd lie down to die. But the inroads of cancer he never knew 1 he had kept him abed, so weak when the parade day came he could scarcely move.

Muldoon discovered John L. Sullivan, brought him his first dressed up clothes, saw him become a great champion, then took heavyweight, broken and drunken, and with the aid of a baseball bat and his own great strength and will power, hammered him back to physical perfection for the strong boy's battle with Jake Kilrain at Richburg, in 1889. He opened his health farm at White Plains in 1894, moved it here in 1900, and through the years at least 5,000 men came to him for treatment. He founded a fortune at $1,000,000. On N.

Y. Commish Named to the New York state athletic commission in 1921, he had served continuously since and for several chairman. He wrote the commission rules, copied now in almost every state where boxing is legal. His funeral plans are of his own devising. Tuesday without ceremonies, he will be buried in Kineso cemetary.

There will be no pall bearers, just a few friends, and a bugler to blow taps. GIANTS SIGN NEWMAN New York-AP-The New York Giants of the National football Thursday announced the signing of Harry Newman, Michigan star and All-American quarterback last year. Schmeling Even Sold Canaries for Living Before Meeting Ring Success By BILL BRAUCHER (NEA Service Sports Editor.) Lake Swannanoa, N. June 2. The parallel between Max Schmeling and Jack Dempsey goes beyond facial resemblance.

Both have been bums. Each has known what it was to sleep in barns and cheap lodging houses, and to fight for a bare living. Each has been hungry, and has known how it felt to pass mealtime with only a hitch of the belt. Sitting on the porch at Lake Swannanca lodge, with his elbows on his knees, and a look of reflection on that bronzed face, Schmeling told me of the old days when he left his mother's home in Hamburg to go out and conquer the world with only a few pfennigs in his worn pockets. Even Sold Canaries "I tramped from town to town, looking for any kind of work," he said.

"A farmer had me build a stone fence on his farm. I rode girders with constructin workers. I worked in a coal mine. Once I sold canaries for a living. "At Dusseldorf I got a job with a strong man in a theater.

He me how to drive nails through boards with my bare hands, how to lift things with my teeth and how to let an automobile run over me." "Did they pay you well for that?" "Not much, but it was more than I had learned in all my life. I felt rich, and sent money home to iny mother with the good news about my work." Dempsey used to do things like that. He rede on the rods from town to town, taking whatever kind of work he could get. "Vassent Locking" And, like Dempsey, Schmeling knows what it is to be knocked out. Five years ago in Germany, Gyspy Daniels clouted him out in the first round.

"I vassent looking," Max told me with the first laugh I ever heard from him. Usually he grins It was a visit of Dempsey to Germany eight years ago that fired Max with idea of coming to America. Max had been fighting here and there with some success though still a crude novice as a boxer. When Dempsey was introduced to the young Schlager in Cologne, the Old Mauler exclaimed, "Why, you look enough like me to be my brother!" Then Jack invited Max to box with him that afternoon. After a few short rounds, Jack advised: "I've got only one good tip for you.

When you come out of your corner come out fighting, prepared to end it quickly. And remember HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW? GEORGE IS SO PROUD OF HIS GARDEN AND EVERYTHING IS COMING UP SPLENDIDLY: A Ola Ta E2 Iris Family Boasts Many Varieties, Unusual Types Problems of the old woman of fable who lived in the shoe would be exceedingly mild compared with those of the dame who heads the iris family the latter were aged, obliged to herd all of the offspring into one huge garden. It could not be done, of course, but what a gorgeous variety and wealth of color if only a comparatively few could be massed for display. No garden is complete without this flower but no one garden could possibly expect to be host to all. Too many racial differences, too many new arrivals, too much variation in culture and climatic demands.

Family Groups. Take for example the question of families. The list must start with the bearded iris, the tall varieties that are most numerous in local gardens, and 1 often called the German iris or French fleur de lis. It is the largest of the iris groups. Only a bare beginning has been made in taking on new colors and markings by the flowers of this family, and hundreds of new introductions are reported each year.

The Siberian and orientals are those that appear after the tall varieties have ended the blooming season, and these are beardless come in a wide range of colors and shadings. Thrive in Bogs The species iris, made up of hybrid crosses, mixtures with the Japanese and a other families, are mostly beardless and thrive best in swamp or boggy soil. They are found great numbers in Louisiana. Versicolor, often called the American purple iris, grows wild in this section of Illinois. Pseudacorus is an English species, also thriving in this climate, and is used extensively around pools.

The Japanese are easily the most showy of all the iris and are among the late arrivals. All have, yellow centers different and require distinctly type of treatment. They must be planted deeper and watering is very essential, especially during the blooming season, but too much moisture during the winter months proves harmful. Planting Cautions Planting of iris for the most part, especially with the tall, bearded varieties, should be made by placing roots into the soil but leavthe rizons exposed. When placed in sandy soil, the plant itself will often push the rizon to the top, but when covered with the heavier earth this is impossible and the plant often dies.

Two handicaps face the iris fancier, the rot disease and the iris borer. The latter makes his appearance from July 1 to Sept. 1 and his presence is usually discovered when the leaves or blades start turning yellow and drop to the ground. A solution of corrosive sublimate, applied with a rubber sprinkler, is most effective in combatting the pest. In case of rot, the plant should be dug, the affected area cut away, and the rizon laid in the sun for two hours.

When replanting, the soil should be changed and lime added. Feeding the iris should be done in March and September, a handful of bonemeal to the six foot row proving sufficient. Planting can be done at any time of the year except when the ground is frozen, and the blades may be clipped to within six inches of the ground immediately following the blooming season. New Varieties Started Here A large number of new varieties have been originated in Decatur. More than 20 named varieties produced by John avenue, have lived by retaining their names among the classifications that number well into the thousands.

Bandits Rob Two Banks at Cullom, Ill. Wound Two in Escape From "Synchronized" Holdups Cullom AP Eight gunmen working in a synchronized gang robbed two banks of a total of 856 simultaneously here Saturday, shot and wounded two bystanders, and temporarily kidnaped two bank employes. Their every movement apparently timed, the bandits drove into the town in two automobiles. One group went to the Farmers State bank; the other to the First National. The gang in the Farmers State completed job first.

They returned to their automobile and the machine roared away. Apparently to frighten away pursuit, they began firing. Doris Coash rushed to the door of his fruit market when he heard the firing. Shotgun pellets peppered his throat, forehead and chest, seriouschamoundant M. him.

Kopp, Another came to mer- his doorway and fell with a bullet wound in the leg. Driver Flees Vigilantes rushed to the street with rifles, pistols, and shotguns. The robbers in the National bank started leaving only to see the driver of their car speed away, apparently frightened by the shooting. Their way blocked by the townsmen, the robbers returned and forced W. J.

Kiley and J. W. Scherer, cashiers, to accompany them. As they left the bank one of the robbers shouted, "If anyone fires a shot we'll kill these two men." Not a shot was fired as the robbers walked across the street and entered an automobile owned by Orville Ross, a school teacher. They escaped.

One of the automobile loads of bandits sped toward the north; the other went south. The kidnaped cashiers were released a few miles from town. In addition to the cash, an undetermined number of bonds were taken from the state bank. estation recruits from Bloomington to Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis, Mo.

He comes out fighting, waits for an opening and shoots it over. It is this waiting for an opening that has earned him the critical appraisal in some quarters of be. ing a studious fighter, one who feels out his opponent. Schmeling never plans a fight in advance. It is his idea to let the fighting take care of itself as it goes along.

The fight with Risko four years ago was characteristic of him. For seven rounds Risko was winning on points, scoring repeatedly with that long looping left Johnny knows so well how to throw. But Schmeling did not break ground. He took it, and waited. Comment at the ringside was that he lacked confidence.

He showed nothing but a straight left and a right cross. In the eighth the right cross found its mark-a clean smashand Risko went down. From then until the finish in the ninth, Max rocked Risko from rope to rope with paralyzing rights. It was stopped time Risko technical ever had kayo--the been knocked cut. Iceberg of Nerves At one point parallel between Schmeling Dempsey then does not run true.

Dempsey was a blazing bundle of nervous energy as he tore from his corner to mect an opponent. Schmeling is more on the Tunney order-an iceberg as far as nerves are concerned. And, not only does he lack the killer instinct, but is tender-hearted toward a man he is defeating. He showed that in the Stribling fight when, with Stribling tottering before him in that last round, Schmeling asked Referee George Blake, "Must I hit him again?" Roosevelt Swims in New White House Pool Washington AP President Roosevelt Saturday night took his first plunge into the new White House swimming pool. Mrs.
