This total is in {.harp contrast. 10 the expenditure in 1332 of S-507,76.". and in 1331 of $470.- 655. and emphasizes most em- phatically the general decrease in the county's income, the survey- or stated. No contracts for roads, bridges or culverts, were let last year, and the work of the department was confined entirely to road repair and maintenance, the report shows. There are 203 miles of road in the county road system. Of this total, nearly 41 miles of roads were surface treated during the year, which is more than the num- ber of miles treated in 1932, the surveyor reported. Hot and cold 011 applications were made as a part of this surface treatment. One of the important functions of the surveyor's department to- ward the close of last year was furnishing projects and supervis- ion for CWA laborers. Cleaned Ditches The surveyor organized eight gang? of CWA workers, furnished supervision for each sang, which numbered from 14 to 18 men, and directed work which resulted in the cleaning of 77 miles of ditch- es along the highways, the im- provement of eight miles of nerms. the cleaning of 11.000 feet of outlet ditches, and the lay- ing or relaying of 2.500 feet of tile. The report states that there are 3227 drainage structures in the highway system in the county and 50 steel truss bridges. The surveyor reported that the users of the county highway sys- tem paid more than double in gas and auto taxes the amount spent on the system. n p c pn u.r.u.uu. WASHINGTON.

FALLS 5 mm, C BELIEVED 150 Ton Tank Atop Chi- cago Building Crashes; 3 Bodies Recovered And 3 Men Still Missing. CHICAGO. May 23—City offic- ials believed today that six per- sons were killed yesterday when a 150-ton water tank atop "the seven-story Oakley building broke from its supports and smashed through five floors of offices and workrooms. Three bodies were recovered from the debris and three men were reported missing. Further search of the wreckage was discontinued until city work- men can shore-up the building's 40-year-old foundations to pre- vent the walls from falling. Six other persons were injured by the explosive plunge of the gi- ant tank. Floors were tilted at crazy angles and fragments "f wrecked furniture and flooring shot with bullet speed among flee- ing men and women workers as it feil. Thousands of gallons of water inundated the entire build- ing. Sheep Claims Of $51 Presented Sheep claims amounting to $51 were presented to the county commissioners for payment last week, as a result of numerous at- tacks by stray dogs, it was re- ported today by Dog Warden Lee Minkler. The claims are the first which have been presented since Jan- uary. Minkler said, and are the result mostly of dogs running loose at night. Vigorous efforts to stop tbis menace are now being made by Minkler and his assistant, J. C. Starr. Prosecutions have been brought in several instances against dog owner's who let their dogs loose at night. The warden reported that two lambs were killed on the farm of Harry Winckles in LaG range, that a sheep and two lambs were killed on John Steven's farm in Ridgcville. and that two ."beep and two lambs wrc killed on Fred Sutler's farm in North Olm- sted. Several dogs believed respons- ible for the depredation* wore caught and exterminated, the war- den reported.

Vests Important New Monetary Powers In P r e s i d ent Roosevelt, Treasury To Issue Sil- ver Certificates. Part Indian Sweetheart Of Dillinger Charged With Harboring Out- law, Doctor Charged With Conspiracy, Both Sent To Prison. WASHINGTON. May 23 —For the time being the administration silver program is not expected to affect the average man's pocket- book, his silverware or bis eco- nomic status. The silver program now before congress does, however, vest im- portant new monetary powers in President Roosevelt which could lead to further action toward world business recovery. Behind the scenes the measure involves important changes in the metallic backing of the American dollar. The country's silver money reserves, now little more than one-tenth of the huge $7,757.000.000 gold reserves, will be increased gradually until they amount to 25 per cent of the me- tallic monetary reserves. This would mean secret pur- chase through the §2,000,000,000 stabilization fund of enough sil- ver or 1,310,000,000 ounces on the present basis to bring the re- serves to the desired percentage. Ultimate effects of this pro- gram on the business situation and the recovery program were in doubt today. Even Wall Street speculators were unwilling to bank on its posibilities. As far as the average citizen is concerned he will still use about the same number of silver dol- lars, "gold" dollars and minor coins in everyday transactions. In fact he is not likely to feel any ef- fects of the silver program unless speculators bid up silver prices and make it necessary for the government to "nationalize" silver as it done when the gold re- sources were cornered. Treasury officials doubted that new silver dollars would go into circulation. Under the new sil- ver bill the treasury is to issue silver certificates at its discre- tion against all silver bought, these probably would flow back into the banks without remaining in active circulation. MIUI'S REPORT Asks Strengthening Of Field Forces Of Justice Department, Report Is Still Incomplete. WASHINGTON. May 23—Prof. Raymond Molcy. the original brain trustcr. urged today in his long missing criem report that the "totally inadequate" field forces of the Department of Justice be strengthened. The report, -which had been in preparation ever since Molcy re- signed as under-sccretary of state last September and which once was reported as "vanished" by Attorney General Homer S. Cum- mings. advocated passage of a lengthy list of anti-crime bill?. Six of the measures already have bren made law by the signa- tur<» of president Roosevelt. Moley explained that because of his heavy duties since he ha* re- turned to private life, preparation of the report has been rejardcd and that in fact it still is not completed. There win be two more installments later, he Mid in a statement issued through the Justice Department. Urging that congress pa*s still another measure extending fed- eral police facilities. Moley said that the Department of Justice had done remarkably well recent- ly with its limited number of op- eratives. "The high ratio of result?." he said, "have done mnch to re- store tho prestige of federal Ju.«- t^c*. after the miserable failures registered by the prohibition div- ision durinc the past 15 years."

May 20 Evelyn Frechette, part Indian sweet- heart of John Dillinger. was found guilty today by a jury in Federal court on chaises of harboring the Hoosier outlaw. Dr. Clayton E. May of Minneap- olis also was found guilty of conspiracy to harbor Dillinger. He treated the outlaw for gun- shot wounds a few days after Dil- linger shot his way out of a Fed- eral ambush here. Mrs. Augusta Salt, -nurse for Dr. May, was found not guilty. Judge Gunnar H. Nordbye im- mediately sentenced Dr. May and Miss Frechette to two-year prison sentences and fines of ? 1,000 each. The prison terms were the max- imum allowed under the law al- though the two were liable to fines of §10,000 each. The jury received the case yes- terday afternoon and was locked up at 9:30 last night with instruc- tions to return its verdict in court today. Dr. May admitted treating the wounded Dillinger. who hid in Mrs. Salt's homo for three day?. Both contended, however, that they shielded the outlaw because of fear for their lives. "Mis's Frechette, 26-year-old hah" Indian ward of the government, found Uncle Sam could be a stern parent as well as a protective one, six months after her meeting with Dillinger. Madly in love with the outlaw, according to her story, she was arrested in a Chicago cafe while trying to aid him in reassembling his gang. Two weeks earlier, she 'had fled with Dillinger from a St. Paul gun battle. The Indian reservation girl met Dillinger at Chicago in Novem- ber, 1933. She abandoned her toe dancing career to go with him to Florida and Tucson. Ariz. When he was arrested at Tuc- son, sho was with him. She saw him in the Crown Point find.) jail a few days before he bluffed through an escape with a wooden gun. For two nights, the pa- troled a Chicago block, waiting for him to join her in a trip to the Twin Cities. She was "chief cook and bottle washer," so she said, in their apartment while he participated in bank raids at Mason City. la., and Sioux Falls. S. D.. which net- ted ?90.000. He came back wounded from the Sioux Falls raid, as did his chief lieutenant, John Hamilton, but was ready for a Newton. la., bank holdup when two Federal agents and a policeman chanced on his apartment hideout March 31. Miss Frechette slammed the door in the face of tho officer? and the appearance outside of Homer Van Meter, another Dil- Hngerite. gave her and the outlaw time to dress. Van Meter chased a Federal «5cnt into the street while Oil- linger with bursts of machine gun fire cleared the way for his cvnpc with Miss Frechette, who drove him away. On«« of the officer's bullets found its mark in the dc^- perado's leg. Eddie Green, s:. Paul canister, summoned Dr. May and the fusi- tivc was taken to Mrs. Salt's apartment for treatment.

Dai-row's office said the veter- an attorney would call on John- son today if he received "a letter or telephone call." It was un- derstood the meeting would have neon held yesterday but was post- poned due to Darrow's desire to attend Review Board hearings of complaints on the cement code.

Vests Important NewMonetary Powers InP r e s i d ent Roosevelt,Treasury To Issue Sil-ver Certificates.

Part Indian SweetheartOf Dillinger ChargedWith Harboring Out-law, Doctor ChargedWith Conspiracy, BothSent To Prison.

WASHINGTON. May 23 —Forthe t ime being the administrationsilver program is not expected toaffect the average man's pocket-book, his silverware or bis eco-nomic status.

The silver program now beforecongress does, however, vest im-portant new monetary powers inPresident Roosevelt which couldlead to fur ther action towardworld business recovery.

Behind the scenes the measureinvolves important changes inthe metallic backing of theAmerican dollar. The country'ssilver money reserves, now littlemore than one-tenth of the huge$7,757.000.000 gold reserves, willbe increased gradually until theyamount to 25 per cent of the me-tallic monetary reserves.

This would mean secret pur-chase through the §2,000,000,000stabilization fund of enough sil-ver or 1,310,000,000 ounces onthe present basis to bring the re-serves to the desired percentage.

Ultimate effects of this pro-gram on the business situationand the recovery program werein doubt today. Even WallStreet speculators were unwillingto bank on its posibilities.

As far as the average citizen isconcerned he will still use aboutthe same number of silver dol-lars, "gold" dollars and minorcoins in everyday transactions. Infact he is not likely to feel any ef-fects of the silver program unlessspeculators bid up silver pricesand make it necessary for thegovernment to "nationalize" silveras it done when the gold re-sources were cornered.

Treasury officials doubted thatnew silver dollars would go intocirculation. Under the new sil-ver bill the treasury is to issuesilver certificates at its discre-tion against all silver bought,these probably would flow backinto the banks without remainingin active circulation.

WASHINGTON. May 23—Prof.Raymond Molcy. the originalbrain trustcr. urged today in hislong missing criem report that the"totally inadequate" field forcesof the Department of Justice bestrengthened.

ST. PAUL. May 20 — EvelynFrechette, part Ind ian sweet-heart of John Dil l inger. was foundguil ty today by a j u ry in Federalcourt on chaises of harboring theHoosier out law.

Dr. Clayton E. May of Minneap-olis also was found guilty ofconspiracy to harbor Dillinger.He treated the o u t l a w for gun-shot wounds a few days after Dil-linger shot his way out of a Fed-eral ambush here.

Mrs. Augusta Salt, -nurse forDr. May, was found not guilty.

Judge Gunnar H. Nordbye im-mediately sentenced Dr. May andMiss Frechette to two-year prisonsentences and fines of ? 1,000each.

The prison terms were the max-imum allowed under the law al-though the two were liable tofines of §10,000 each.

The jury received the case yes-terday afternoon and was lockedup at 9:30 last night with instruc-tions to return its verdict incourt today.

Dr. May admitted treating thewounded Dillinger. who hid inMrs. Salt's homo for three day?.Both contended, however, thatthey shielded the outlaw becauseof fear for their lives.

"Mis's Frechette, 26-year-old hah"Indian ward of the government,found Uncle Sam could be a sternparent as well as a protective one,six months after her meeting withDillinger.

Madly in love with the outlaw,according to her story, she wasarrested in a Chicago cafe whiletrying to aid him in reassemblinghis gang. Two weeks earlier, she'had fled with Dillinger from a St.Paul gun battle.

The Indian reservation girl metDillinger at Chicago in Novem-ber, 1933. She abandoned hertoe dancing career to go with himto Florida and Tucson. Ariz.

When he was arrested at Tuc-son, sho was with him. She sawhim in the Crown Point f i n d . )jail a few days before he bluffedthrough an escape with a woodengun. For two nights, the pa-troled a Chicago block, waitingfor him to join her in a trip to theTwin Cities.

She was "chief cook and bottlewasher," so she said, in theirapartment while he participatedin bank raids at Mason City. la.,and Sioux Falls. S. D.. which net-ted ?90.000.

He came back wounded fromthe Sioux Falls raid, as did hischief lieutenant, John Hamilton,but was ready for a Newton. la.,bank holdup when two Federalagents and a policeman chancedon his apartment hideout March31.

Miss Frechette slammed thedoor in the face of tho officer?and the appearance outside ofHomer Van Meter, another Dil-Hngerite. gave her and the o u t l a wtime to dress.

Van Meter chased a Federal«5cnt into the street while Oil-linger with bursts of machine gunfire cleared the way for his cvnpcwith Miss Frechette, who drovehim away. On«« of the officer'sbullets found its mark in the dc^-perado's leg.

Eddie Green, s:. Paul canister,summoned Dr. May and the fusi-tivc was taken to Mrs. Salt'sapartment for treatment.

Green promised Pr. May a ?o°ufee. hut was fatally wounded byFederal agents before paying i;and the next day. r»iUince.r a:idMiss Frechette fi«d to Indianap-olis, thenco finally back to Chi-cago.

thunderers of NRA. Clarence Dar-row and General Hugh S. John-son, were to me»t quiet ly todayand talk the whole thins over.

Amid congressional debate sointense that regular business isalmost at a a standstill a confer-ence was arranged tentatively be-tween the Blue Eagle's severestcritic and its staunchcst defen-der.

Dai-row's office said the veter-an attorney would call on John-son today if he received "a letteror telephone call." It was un-derstood the meeting would haveneon held yesterday but was post-poned due to Darrow's desire toattend Review Board hearings ofcomplaints on the cement code.

Darrow was unperturbed byJohnson's demand for abolition ofthe Review Board. He was arous-ed by some remarks in Johnson'sanswer to the board's report.

The senate forum on the NRAwas expected to continue todaywith indications that the fightwas growing -nor" bitter.
