Robert F. Wagner (D-N. co author of the administration's social security bill which seemed jeopardized yesterday when the supreme court held the railroad pension act invalid, moved today to railroad workers within the bring scope of the security program. Wagner refused to accept the sucourt decision as a bar to preme federal pension systems. He proposed that instead of bowing to the ruling that railroad workers be extended the benefits of tse security bill.

Railroad workers were left out of the security program only because their pension system already had been set up. The supreme court ruled the railroad retirement act invalid on the ground that Congress, under the guise of regulating interstate commerce, could not impose a pension law because the satisfaction of workers had no bearing on the safety and efficiency of the rail- roads' operation. Bitter Against Ruling. Wagner argued that the security bill is based, not on the Constitution's interstate commerce clause, but on the power of Congress to levy taxes and to expend money for the general welfare. Wagner was bitter in his criticism of the supreme court ruling.

He termed the majority opinion read by Justice Owen J. Roberts "arbitrary and unreasonable." He predicted that within two years the minority opinion, read by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, would be sustained. This opinion upheld the act. Other quarters interpreted the decision as endangering the constitutionality of the NRA as well as the security program. Plans Still Doubtful.

Chairman, the Robert House L. ways Doughton and means committee, which steered the social security bill through the House, shared Wagner's views but added that he is not a lawyer. He spoke, however, after a conference with Donald Richberg. NRA chairman and New Deal lawyer. Other administration leaders predicted early action to meet the situation created by the court's decision, but what line of action was planned was not revealed.

S. highway 36 Villa, that historic Camargo moves one step nearer the country village oblivion which has faced this onetime district metropolis, and county seat pro-tem establishment of the permanent county seat in Tuscola. The new paved highway, passing at the extreme east edge of the village will divert much of the Villa Grove bound traffic which now follows a narrow width slab down the main street of the town.

Population Dwindles to 300 Road improvement, the automobile, and loss of the county seat has caused the town to dwindle to a village of approximately 300 population with corresponding trade importance. The main street that as late as 1900 was crowded with Saturday shopping farmers now sees few of the automobile driving customers from surrounding territory who every Saturday hurry to the county seat. or still larger towns. First Town in County Founded in 1836, 17 years before any other town in the county was laid out, Camargo made a strong bid for county seat because of its central location. Enemies of the town, founded on a knoll just east of the Embarrass river, charged that a bit of scenery was Camargo's only offer as a county seat.

Even after Tuscola won the coveted courthouse, Camargo for James Elected By Rotarians Defeats Dr. Voigt for Governor, 47-28; 1,000 At Mattoon Meet. By Staff Correspondent MATTOON-O. A.

WHAS. wowO. 5:00 P. M. NOT SELF-DEFENSE By VIC GOODMAN many years held important rank among towns of the county because of its historic significance and business volume.

Many families, now 3 prominent in county politics and business, founded their names and fortunes there. Always in Controversy From the very start the town was fated to be a center of controversy. First named New Salem by pioneer founders, the town later became New Albany and finally Camargo at the request of J. B. McCown, prominent citizen and Mexican war veteran who had Cancied a similarly named town in Mexico.

Stands of timber and wild bee trees along the Embarrass attracted the pioneers who made this the first settlement in the county. An ambitious rival town called New Boston, founded a mile east of the first settlement in 1843 for a time threatened the original town but was bested by Camargo and faded into oblivion. New Boston is now forgotten even by the descendants of its founders. Undaunted by previous rebuffs, Camargo made a final bid for county seat prestige in 1909 by demanding the removal of the courthouse from Tuscola to this central location. The move was defeated in November of that year by a vote of 1,480 to 2,875.

At that time the Tuscola Review, weekly newspaper, carried a cartoon depicting a man named Camargo standing on a pile of boxes and stretching precariously for a plum just out of reach marked courthouse.

Angus Stewart, "that you don't expect us to swallow that yarn, Yeaton? You must think we're pretty stupid up here in the woods." He peered intently at the man standing on the other side of his desk.

"How much By did Hodgkiss pay you for handing it to us?" Jud Yeaton's face set grimly. Beneath his coating of birch tan, an unnatural pallor showed. "Hodgkiss didn't pay me. The story I told you was straight." Stewart made a gesture of disgust. "Yeaton, don't be a fool.

Just pause for a moment and consider the facts. A man has been found dead, drowned. There's a bruise on his head that was made by some blunt instrument. He might have struck on a rock, as you suggest. I think differently.

At any rate, we have plenty of proof that Emmott, the dead man, and this Hodgkiss chap, both of whom were with the party at Ralston Lodge, had quarrelled. And we're pretty well convinced that Hodgkiss is responsible for Emmott's death. That's why we've taken him into custody." Yeaton shook his head stubbornly. "Hodgkiss was protecting himself. I saw them fight." I "Emmott struck first?" "Yes." "And in order to defend himself, Hodgkiss struck back? He hit Emmott on the jaw and Emmott fell off the bridge into the water?" "Yes." "And you saw it all from the boat?" "Yes.

I was rowing up stream. When about fifty yards below the bridge I looked up and saw them meet. They both stopped. Of course I couldn't hear what they said, but it wasn't necessary. Suddenly Emmott stepped forward and made a pass at Hodgkiss.

Hit him, too. Hodgkiss reeled back and Emmott came after him. He was just about to hit him again, when Hodgkiss struck out. He caught the other man unawares, and Emmott fell off the bridge the water. It wasn't Hodgkiss's fault into, that he drowned.

The man was only protecting himself." "Then what did you do?" rowed up as fast as I could. When I got there Hodgkiss had fished Emmott out of the water and was trying to revive him. But the poor devil was dead. There was a bruise on his head, and we naturally supposed he'd hit a rock when he fell." "I see," Sergt. Stewart sighed, gnawed at his lower lip, gazed out of the window, looked back at Yeaton again.

"Yeaton," he said quietly. "Do you realize what lying like that means?" "I'm not lying! I tell you I-." "It means," barked Stewart, "that you're an accessory! It means that if we can prove that Hodgkiss murdered Tom Emmott. you'll get the same treatment that the killer gets. And let me tell you, mister, we can prove it!" Yeaton's face went a trifle paler. He watched Stewart steadily, plainly struggling against indecision.

If the officer were trying to bluff-? But men, not even policemen, considered craftsmen at that sort of thing, could invoke quite the look of assurance that lay in Stewart's eyes unless they were sure of their ground. Yeaton wet his lips. "So what?" he said. "So this!" Stewart smacked the desk with his open palm and stood up. "Yeaton, you've got just one chance of getting out from under.

That's to tell the truth! wise you're going for a ride!" for the moment that I haven't told the truth -if I shift my testimony-what then?" "In that event," said Stewart, "if you turn over the money with which Hodgkiss bribed you, and testify in court, telling all that you saw, you'll find yourself a free man." Yeaton's face twitched. For the first time his eyes shifted. He glanced through open window beyond which lay the forest and the river and the clean, fresh air. Sight of it all provoked a picture in the mind, a picture enhanced by sudden longing. He swung back to face the sergeant.

"I didn't see anything!" he blurted. "Nothing wasn't anywhere arcund. I'm out of it. Free and clean. I'm not in on the deal." "You are until we let Stewart's eyes narrowed.

"You you go." didn't see anything, eh? At any time?" "No. But Hodgkiss killed him. He told me he did. They fought and Hodgkiss hit him over the head Gets Chain Dollar, Bought No Letter; Dimes to England By Staff Correspondent SULLIVAN Ivan D. "Cotton" Wood, Moultrie county circuit clerk received a dollar bill in Tuesday morning's mail and he hadn't even bought a chain letter.

"That's when you make the real said. Two monetters left Sullivan addressed to England. The sender couldn't dope out how many shillings there were in a dime so he put it do down as ten cents. "I probably won't hear from these for months," he said. "And if they ever reach Scotland.

Oh well, it's only two dimes lost." It was estimated that more than $400 left Sullivan in one dollar bills Monday. with a club. The blow killed him. Hodgkiss got scared. He knew he needed an alibi.

And he knew, too, that I needed money. So he came and asked me to tell the story. Bribed me to tell it." And I agreed. Why shouldn't He paid me- -all I asked. And it didn't -at that time I didn't see how it could involve me." "Ah!" Stewart relaxed, sat down at his desk.

"That's better. That's what we suspected, but wanted to make sure of." He leaned over, pointing a finger at Yeaton. "Yeaton, this ought to be a lesson to you. If you hadn't come across you would have hung, sure. You should have realized that in kiss's state of mind he couldn't cook up a story that wouldn't have a hole in it." Yeaton stared blankly.

After a moment he said: "I'm free to go, then?" "For the time being-yes. You'll be called into court later to testify. And you'd better return here this afternoon with the money. That'll be exhibit Yeaton nodded. He still seemed a little dazed, a little bewildered.

He turned, strode to the door, paused, looked back. "Sergeant, I don't suppose you'd mind telling me how you know the story Hodgkiss paid me to tell was phony. It sounded pretty good to me." Stewart smiled faintly. "Well, Yeaton, it was like this: You told us you were rowing up stream and when fifty yards below the bridge you glanced up and saw the two men. Now when a man rows a boat he sits with his back to the direction in which he's moving.

Which means, of course, you couldn't look up and see those men. You have to look around. Get it?" Yeaton scratched his head and the bare trace of a smile appeared on his own lips. "I get it," he said. "'The fact is, I've never rowed a boat in my life.

And I guess Hodgkiss never did, either. It takes you birds up here in the woods to figure out a thing like that." Laura Westenhaver Asks Shelby Divorce By Staff Correspondent SHELBYVILLE Suit for divorce was filed Monday by Mrs. Laura E. Westenhaver against Harvey L. Westenhaver.
