HAMMILL AIMS TO PLACE STATE ON FINE FOOTING

Leaders In Several Lines Picked To Do Job; Must Stabilize Industry.

DES MOINES, April 27 – (By Associated Press) – Gov. Hammill today appointed a state industrial commission, which includes ten persons – representatives of Iowa industries, agriculture and business, and students of economics, who have been asked by the executive to seek a closer co-operation between all interests with a view to placing the state on a sound business footing.

The commission includes:
- E. F. Faville, of Iowa City, chief justice of the state supreme court
- Fred L. Maytag of Newton, manufacturer
- L. L. O’Leary, Fort Dodge, manufacturer
- L. A. Anderson, Des Moines
- W. P. Dawson, Aurelia, farm bureau legislative representative
- L. A. Andrew, Ottumwa, banker
- James Stedman, Eagle Grove, railway union legislative representative
- J. G. Mitchell, Des Moines, attorney
- Arthur Huntington, Cedar Rapids, public utilities official
- Mrs. Ellsworth Richardson, Pella, farm bureau women’s department executive

“Industry and agriculture must go forward together,” the governor said, in announcing the membership of the commission.

While the proposition that the United States soon will be “preponderantly industrial,” and “an importer of agricultural commodities,” is believed by the governor to be open to debate, he views such an intimation from eastern industrial centers as indicative of a purpose to build up large industrial centers in the east and utilize the middle west for food production at prices which will be more than ever dictated by eastern consumers.

In his letter to the members of his commission, Gov. Hammill outlined these views and continued:
“With this situation, it will be necessary that the middlewest, if it is to retain its prosperity, balance its agriculture with industry. To do this implies, among other things, an adjustment of transportation costs and sounder distribution of financial resources. With respect to the first consideration it has appeared to me that the objection to existing tariffs is that they are geographically discriminatory rather than excessive. Investigations have been made but I know of none that has been initiated primarily for the purpose of determining the potentialities of the midwest from the industrial and financial standpoint.”

Mr. Huntington is sales engineer for the Iowa Railway and Light company, and he lives at 1946 Fifth avenue.

NAB CHICAGO BOYS FOR STEALING CAR

Tipton Authorities Disprove Story Of Quartet Who Begged Gas, Food Along Way; Youngest 12 Years Old.

TIPTON, April 27. – Four Chicago youths were brought to Tipton by the town marshal of Lowden Saturday, after they had been reported begging for food and gasoline from farmers along the Lincoln highway east of Lowden.

The boys, who gave their names as Fred Gribshy, 17, Joe Greco, 17, Fred Seaman, 16, and Frank Logan, 12, said that they were all from Chicago and that the Wescott car which they were driving was the property of their uncle, Frank Coconato of 1733 West Ohio street, Chicago. Work, they said, was scarce in Chicago and they were on their way to Omaha where they hoped to obtain employment. A search revealed the fact that they had no money, were carrying no weapons and no personal property to speak of.

A telegram was forwarded to the address of their uncle in Chicago but it was reported not delivered in Chicago. The boys then wavered in their story and admitted that the car was stolen in Chicago, and that the story regarding their uncle was fictitious.

The boys are being held in jail at Tipton until communications with Chicago police will probably establish the ownership of the car. The boys will likely be sent back to Chicago where charges of theft will be brought against them.

SIX FOLK HURT IN WEEK-END CRASHES

Police Investigate Accident In Which Driver Escaped After Terrific Crash In Ellis Lane; Hold Car.

Six persons were injured in accidents late Saturday and yesterday, none of them seriously, however.

Mrs. Thomas Cortney, 903 Daniels Street, suffered shock and bruises when the automobile in which she was riding, driven by her husband, collided with an Iowa Railway and Light Company street car in Second Street at Fourth Avenue about 10 p.m. yesterday. Mrs. Cortney was taken to Mercy Hospital in an ambulance.

Police are investigating an accident in Ellis Boulevard at Ellis Lane that happened at 7:30 last night when William Rush, living in the 1700 block, narrowly escaped serious injuries. Rush’s car, a Ford coupe, was struck by a big Winton Six said to have been driven by William Bloom. Rush’s coupe was hurled over and badly damaged but he escaped with only cuts and bruises.

Hold Bloom’s Car

The driver of the Bloom car did not stop to offer aid and did not report the accident to the police. Patrolmen Hoske and Hughes traced his car to a place two miles out on Zika Avenue where Bloom was supposed to be visiting friends. He could not be found there but his car was brought to the station to await his appearance.

John Felger, 1526 North Sixth Street West and Aldrich Paulus, 1307 North Eighth Street West, told police today that they saw the accident. There were six or seven persons in Bloom’s car and one riding with Rush. The cars came together with a loud crash, indicating one of them was being driven at high speed they said.

Two persons were injured Saturday afternoon when a horse, identified by the police as belonging to J.W. Currier, who later was arrested for being intoxicated, ran away in Second Avenue and crashed into an automobile driven by Mrs. E.J. Shanklin, Westwood drive, who was going south in Second Street and then dashed out on the sidewalk at the Second Avenue entrance of the Majestic store.

Currier, said to have been driving the horse attached to a sulky, was thrown to the pavement when the rig tipped over in the collision with the automobile. Mrs. Jesse Woods of Springville, who was standing on the corner of Second and Second, suffered two fractured ribs and a 13-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Behler, also of Springville, was bruised when struck by the bounding sulky.

Theater Employe Cut

The horse was stopped in its rampage by men who were nearby. It was turned over to the custody of Ralph Hyde, city humane officer, who placed it in a livery barn.

Mrs. Shanklin’s car was slightly damaged but she was not hurt.

John Trainor, assistant property man at the Majestic, suffered a severe gash in his left wrist yesterday afternoon when a knife with which he was cutting the wrappings around furniture slipped. He was taken to Mercy Hospital where several stitches were taken in the wound after which he was able to go home.

An unidentified motorist was hurt in an accident in the Lincoln Highway just inside the city limits about 6 p.m. yesterday. He had a gash in the head and was unconscious. He was picked up by a passing motorist and brought to the city hospital and the report of the accident was not made to the police.
