('ailed Alliance 'Supreme
Blunder/ 'Peace Menace'
BALTIMORE. Oct. 22.- Senator Har?
ding is opposed unequivocally to the
League of Nations, and if elected will
not lead the United States into it, Sen?
ator Hiram Johnson told a large audi- i
cuco at the Lyric to-night.
S< nator Johnson referred in his Bd- ?
dress to the recent statement issued in '
Ni'w York and signed by Elihu Root :
and others.
"Men and newspapers who pretend
to be friends of Senator Harding and |
who assert that he is to take this coun- i
try into the League of Nation's do him
a distinct, disservice and pay him a
sorry compliment,'' he declared.
"1 do not care." he said, referring;
to the statement given out recently by
thirty-one prominent pro-league Repub?
lican . headed by Elihu Root, "if thir?
ty-one gentlemen in New York or 3,1,
000 gentlemen in New York say the;
revi rsc ? f what I contend. Here are
the words of Warren Harding, and
upon those words he is entitled to the
support of every red-blooded Ameri
can."
Senator Johnson characterized the
league as the "overshadowing pall of
the Republic," denounced it. ?is a "mili?
tary alliance" and "one made in ac- .
cordance with secret treaties." Quot- \
?ng copiously from the Harding
-?pooches, he declared that the candi?
date lias, without ambiguity, put. the
lea? ue behind him and has made it
plain that he will not make the United
States a party to the present league in
any form.
Senator Johnson said in part:
"For reasons of their own, certain,
interested individuals and newspapers;
may misrepresent and misinterpret
Senator Harding's words. 1 resent
these imputations upon the sincerity1
of the utterances of the candidate,
and the manifest endeavor in some |
quarters to distort his plain language.
"There is nothing ambiguous or un?
certain in our candidates declaration.;
He has courageously taken his stand.'
He has put th?- league behind him. He
neither interpretations nor res?
ervations, hut outright rejection.
"lie characterizes the league as 'a!
militar; alliance, which menaces peace
. id threatens ail freedom.' He called
?? thi 'supreme blunder' and asserted
4 ' he would leave 'America free, in?
dependent and sel ?'-reliant, but offer-'
ing friendship to all the world.'
"I am unable to understand the in- ,
tellectual processes which can misin
t ?rpret or misconstrue these words and
do not appreciate the friendship of in?
dividu?is who still insist that the words
are meaningless and that Senator liar- j

Hisses for Cox, Not
Lodge, Says McCormick
Croud on Common Resented
Attack on Senator in His
Home City, He Declares
United States' Senator Medill Me- |
Cormick, of Illinois, who called on Will i
IL Hays, chairman of the Republican :
National Committee, yestorday, told |
him that th?' his3cs which greeted the]
attack by Governor Cox on Senator!
Lodge in Boston on Wednesday night j
wore not intended for Lodge, but were j
meant for Cox, because Cox attacked
Lodge in his home state.
"1 have been in New England the [
.-? iter part of the last two weeks,"
said Senator McCormick, "and after i
the Cox mass meeting on Boston Com- \
mon Wednesday night I talked with
people who heard Governor Cox speak
: iol noted his attack on Senator Lodge. ']
Various people told me in Boston that j
the hisses which followed the attack;
were not meant for Senator Lodge,
as Governor Cox supposed, but were
?manifestly intended as a rebuke to
(lie Governor himself, for his audacity
in attacking Senator Lodge in his home
city on the issue of the Wilson League
of Nations, which league is perhaps
more unpopular among Boston Deino
! crats than anywhere else in the na
; t ion.
"It is only a small matter, but it is a
little bit o?ld that Cox should have
imagined that he Had made a hit with
! the crowd, when, as a matter of fact,
he himself was being roasted for hav?
ing made a bad break."
Commenting on the outlook. Senator
; McCormick says that a Republican
tidal wave of unexampled proportions
is vn the way for the Democrats on
election day.
"Illinois will give Harding and
! Coolidge upward of 200,000," he said.

Hoover Makes
Strong Plea for
Judge Miller
Attacks Administration at
Washington as Failure
and Says That Smith
Supports Its Policies
Candidate Is Heckled
Speaking at Rochester, Ho
Calls Primary Delusion
and Snare of Tammany
From n Staff Correspondent
ROCHESTER, Oct. 22. ? Herbert
Hoover and Frederick Hale Parkhurst,
Governor-elect of Maine, before an au?
dience of "?,000 in Convention Hall to?
night advocated the election of Judge
Nathan L. .Miller as Governor of this
state. Judge Miller, who also spok??..
attacked the national and state adm"-^
istrations and declared that of greater
importance even than the fate of any
candidate for Governor was the elec?
tion of Harding and Coolidge.
"1 am glad of an opportunity to give
support to the candidacy of Judge
Miller." sai'i Mr. Hoover. "As .-?. citi-'
zen of another state I would not pre?
tend to enter upon the '.ocal issues
concerning New York State alone.
However, not only is Judge Miller my
friend, but there are questions in this
matter that concern the entire nation.
IliKiver Sure of Victory
"There can he no question as to the
victory of the Republican ticket. In
the problems that confront the national
administration in the next four years
we have national nee i of men of Judge
Miller's caliber high in the councils of
the Republican Administrai ?on. As the
Empire State is vitally interested in the
solution of these problems she should
in this, one of the most difl'icu'' periods
in our national history, be represented
by a Governor in tune with the policies
of the national Administration.
"The Republican party must, inaugu?
rate new and definite policies in a host
of matters. is there any assurance
that Governor Smith will either have
influence in the formation of these poli?
cies or be in accord with their consum
mat ion ?
"Governor Smith has adhered to and
ratified this Administration and its
policies. Ile stati d recently that his
two years as Governor have been the
stormiest years in the history of the
stale: that these difficulties came
largely out of the war. In other
words, these problems are nati ?? al
problems. The national government
has failed to lind a solution anil the Gov?
ernor supports the policies of this
national failure.
"The critical issues before us do not
arise alone from the great social ami
economic dislocation of the war, but
also from the ferment of social and
economic thought over year.s, now
brought to a head by the war. We
need in the great positions in the
United States and high in our tu : ? -. 1
councils all the men of courageously
progressive character we can as?
semble."
Judge Miller to-day invaded the
stamping ground ?4' Senator George !?'.
Thompson, whose friends turned out
a i th?- mei ? ings to heckle t he i udge,
who defeat?-?! their i<i"! in th?< pri?
maries for the nomination for Gov?
ernor.
The first heckling was at Lockport.
Judge Miller had no sooner been in?
troduced than a former associate of
Senator Thompson, Schuyler Beattie,
of Lockport, rose an?! said:
"Judge Miller, will you kindly state
your position on the direct primaries
during your talk?"
The judge, who had been warned that
lie might he heckled, replied:
"I will. Who asked you to ask me
that question ?"
"No one.' answered Mr. Beattie. "I
do i' oi' my own volition."
"All right, I'll answer your question.
There is not an issue that ! am evad?
ing. Hut 1? t me t?-!1 you I hat there
ere a great many more issues m this'
campaign tmore vita; than the question
(if primaries.
"The direct primary system which
we have was inaugurated in tin- in?
terest of Tammany Hall, to enable Tam?
many to control the Democracy vf the
State of New York, as it has done.
And I do not wonder that Governor
Smith is now so fond of direct pri?
maries, although he was not so fond
of them a few years ago. Hit since
then, they have found out how it works.
They have found, with their gnat vote
m New York City, that Tamilian;, Hall
eau Tammanyize the Democracy of : in?
stare of New York, and so Governor
Smith is now strong for th?: direct
primary.
"1 think that a state-wide din et
primary has proved to he a del
and a snai e. 1 think that it ha: ffered
opportunity for two things, for the
.1? magogue and the man with mom y
"1 am in favor of restoring, so ''.li?
as the selection of state and judicial
candidates is concerned, a representa
i ivc party system."

:M. Appelbaum
And Wife Take
; Foison at Home
(Contlnu'd from pago on?)
: married to Appelbaum in 1907, and bore
! him one son, the custody of whom was
! given to her by the Reno court that
' granted her divorce petition
For four or five years Appelbaum was
i much in the public eye. His Humani?
tarian Cult gained international atten?
tion, and its leader was constantly
doing things to attract the public. In
191G he set forth arguments for a re
. organization of the President's Cabinet
i and urged that a secretary of welfare
: be established whose duty it would be
to deal with the problems of charity
and the unemployed.
| Appelbaum challenged Billy Sunday
I to a joint public discussion when that
: revivalist, was preaching in New York,
and, while the Humanitarian leader en?
gaged Carnegie Hall and was ready for
<;i ? ate, Sur,.lay failed to appear.
In tin' Hylan-Mitchcl Mayoralty cam?
paign Appelbaum supported Mitchel,
but he invited liylan to address the
Cult, and after the address Appelbaum
told Hvlan wiiv he was going to votu
tor Mitchel.
When Appelbaum parted with his
first wife, the separation, according to
a typewritten statement, was founded
on business principles. The statement
addi '1 that they had agree?! to part
owing to "a difference in their tem?
peraments, although they have the
highest regard for ?'ach, other."
Appelbaum, during the Mitchel
Hylan contest, declared, before a cam?
paign committee, that he had spent
$650,000 of his own money to develop
the Humanitarian Cult. He made this
con ssion after he had been called
I upon to explain his alleged acceptance

At the Knickerbocker Hospital. Ap
pelbaum was registered as an artist;
his wife as a musician. Mrs. Appcl

I Governor Says Mi ?lier
Dodges Slate Issues
Declares Y<ui Cannot Settle
Thorn by Talking League and
National Prohibition
JAMESTOWN, N. Y., Oct. 22. Gov
? ernor Smith in a speech here to-night
charged his Republican opponent,
Nathan L. Miiier, with maintaining
"only silence" on the princioa? state
?S! H'S.
"When a man wants to he Governor
of the State of New York," he said,
"the people have a right to expect tii it
he will have some clean-cut, definite
program to offer. 'We are up to the
last wee!; of the campaign, and 1 have
yet to hear any definite proposal for
the conduct "I the state government
from Judge Miller."
Housing, conduct of the state pris?
ons and care of the insane, the Gov
? rnoi said, arc among the problems be?
fore the -t?te upon which, the Repub?
lican candidate has remained silent.
" l'he ; cop e are entitled to have
tin .- gi a. issues discussed and set?
tled," the Governor said. "You cannot
settle them by talking League of Na
I tions or national prohibition. I stand
on my record on these great issues,
which is one of constructive action.
Judge Miller has not even criticism
to offer. H?' offers only silence."

(Continued from pago on?l

then."
The impulse which led Stivers to
draw his automatic nnd give the fa?
miliar order to Ed Wilkins made trou?
ble. "Hands up!" is '.ess graciously
received in the New Hampshire hills
than in New York, and Wilkins jumped
for a rifle which stood behind the
counter. At this unexpected move,
Stivers and Bassett grabbed the sand?
wiches and fled, pursued by Wilkins,
who rallied his neighbors for a futile
pursuit of the bandits' stolen a?tomo
bile. As they drove away, Stivers fired
one shot which went wild.
"There's one New Hampshire man
who made a good thing of us." said
Bassett in relating the story to Sheriff
Wooster. "That storekeeper in Ilenni
ker got our last $10 and he gave us
four rotten sandwiches, so dry that we
couldn't eat 'em, and we were starving
at that."
The pursuit which Wilkins organized
in Henniker forced the pair of fugi?
tives to abandon their car when the
engine stalled, as they had no time to
tinker with it. It had carried them
from Western Connecticut where they
stole it.
"It was a good little bus," said Bas
sett patronizingly and with obviously
sincere regret, "an' we coulda fixed
lier up in a few minutes, but we didn't
have no minutes at all right then. We
had to go on afoot to where we had
left the Packard, (a car they stole
Monday from* Hiram G. Kilkenny in
this city), and that didn't have much
gas left in its tank.
Took to Woods
When their fuel was exhausted Bas?
sett and Stivers took to the woods,
their flight being seen by William N.
: Kogcrs, who recognized the stolen auto
! mobile they were abandoning and noti
! tied Sheriff Wooster.
Then the hunt was on in earnest.
The Sheriff swore in deputies by the
! =core and volunteers joined the posse
' with an eagerness which the New
: Hampshire hills have not seen since
: Revolutionary days. At sunset last
: night 350 men were camped on the
j trail of the outlaws. Some had rifles,
some had shotguns and others axes,
corn-cutters, cant hooks, or even 'noes.
Bassett and Stivers were making for
i Canada when their gasoline gave out,
I Bassett admitted to-day to Sheriff
Wooster, but the accident which put
them afoot in a world made up of hills,
bogs and precipices and treacherous
undergrowth and whipping branches
instead of paved streets, dark door?
ways and level tenement roofs, ideal
for getaways, was fatal to their plans.
Ali night the watchfires of the posse
blazed on the hillsides and the electric
torches of the men on the picket line
winked and bunked in signal and re?
ply. AH night the bewildered crooks
from the city floundered through the
underbrush, hunting for a road that
might lead them northward.
Couldn't Lay Straight Cours??
Neither Bassett nor Stivers was able
to lay a straight course through the
woods at night, however, and day?
light found them, toilful hours later,
almost at the very spot where they
had entered the woods. Their feet were
? sore, their I'acc3 and hands scratched
and every muscle in their bodies
ached.
Worst of all was the ravenous hunger
' that gripped them. They were in
! valley between Tory Hill and Bumpki
?Hill," parts of which are cultivate?!
Not far away smoke was curling from
the chimney of the Houghton farm.
The sight was more than th<? famish? !
men could stand. They Btolo fr >m
cover and knocked at the door of the
farmhouse.
The whole countryside was on the
nlert by now, however, and Mrs. Marilla
Houghton slammed the door in the
faces of the two strangers. After the
fiasco at the Wilkins grocery store, in
Henniker, Stivers and Bassett had de
cided that rough stuff would not go in
New Hampshire, and without a word
they wheeled and made f?.?r the woods
on the slope of Tory Hill.
Mrs. Houghton was at a window
watching their flight. As soon
was certain that the men did. not in?
tend to deviate from the line they were
taking she telephoned to Sheriff
Wooster, telling him that a couple of
tramps, who might be the men tie was
seeking, were making for Tory Hill.
The somewhat disorganized though
enthusiastic search .vhich had been in?
stituted last night had been ??
into shape by Sheriff Wooster. There
were fewer searchers than last nigh*.
but they were distributed to hotter ad?
vantage, and Sheriff Wooster kne
; where every man could be found. He
had divided the posse into groups of
: two or three or four each, assigning to
? each group a man from Warner, who
: was to act as guide. Every road was
I patrolled, every hilltop had its sien?
tries.
Wooster hastened to Tory Hill, where
i Rowe and Forsaith were posted. He
'warned them that the men -hey wen
.hunting, or strangi rs resembling them
were last se?'ii making for Tory Hill
land then hastened to a reserve post t?
Iget reinforcements. It was dui
absence that Rowe and For a
tered down the hills;.;'' to si
.they could see and discovered thi
escaped convi is eating apples.
Procession Enters Concord
As Warden Lawes :? ve I i this c:>;.
'with the prisoners Sheriff V
: who rode with him, shouted to eacl
! patrol they overtook that the fugitives
| had been capture?1, and the hunt was
?off. These men fell in behind the auto
mobile. Others joined them as thej
?approached Concord an?l it was at thi
head of a motley procession, number
ing nearly 100, that Bassett and S i\
ers drove into town.
The warden left this city with hi?
prisoners this afternoon in an automc
bile, intending to drive to Wore ster
Mass., and to take a train from theri
to Ossining. Bassett said as they de
? parted that there vas only one ii
: dent in the adventure that he w
for and that was the slugging of th
keepers.
Warden Lawes expects to ask tin
Westchester County Grand fury to in?
dict Bassett and Stivers on charges o?
i jail-breaking, felonious assault, viola
; tion of the Sullivan law and gr mi
larceny. They will be liable also ti
; three charges of highway robbery ii
Connecticut and to charges of gram
larceny and highway robbery in Nev
Hampshire.
Both men will spend th ? rest o
their days in jail, if all these charge
are pressed, though Bassett liad :.':;?
