HOUSTON. June 25.—0 n the eve of
the Democratic national convention
jmii-Smith forces are seeking desperate
ly to form a battle line that will hold
against the New Yorker.
Some of the dry opponents of A1
Smith are turning to Senator ‘•Jim”
Heed of Missouri, a wet. and Senator
Heed has hoisted his flag for them to
rally round.
Others have their eyes fixed on the
youthful governor. Dan Moody of Texas,
iiopinc that he may prove a Moses to
lead them out of the wilderness. But
Moody is having trouble riding his
cwn delegations, on which ther are con
siderable numbers of Smith men. Local
politics alone has kept the Smith senti
ment in the Texas delegation quiescent j
up to this time.
Discounted by Smithites.
While the Reed supporters were {
claiming gains today as a result of}
Senator Reed s statement, they were
discounted by the Smith men, who de- j
clared that the only votes rallying to
Heed if any were anti-Smith under any
circumstances.
Gov. Dan Moody came forward with
a dry plank statement declaring for the
strict enforcement of the prohibition
laws and specifically approving the
eighteenth amendment.
Some of the Smith supporters said
they saw nothing in the Texas gov
ernor's plan for a declaration for law
enforcement which could be objection
able to the New York governor.
Tom Low, veteran Texas politician
and former national committeeman,
said he approved the Moody statement,
but added. “If we adopt such a plat
form plank and nominate Smith, it
will be like denouncing crime and nomi
nating the deviL"
The Moody statement pointed out
that the resolution adapted at the State
convention instructed the Texas delega
tion in favor of a {dank “unequivocally
indorsing the eighteenth amendment”
and declaring opposition to any attempt
to repeal it, or destroy the prohibition.
“It further instructed in favor of
promising the faithful, strict and effi
cient enforcement of the prohibition
law and all other laws." .
T am confident such a plank will be
offered in this convention and that we
will be supported by the Democrats of j
S'exas.”
Protects Loyalty.
‘‘The serious thought of the South
js in favor of prohibition and its en
forcement and to my judgment, if any
Improvements are to be made in the
prohibitoto laws, these improvements
should be made by the friends of pro
hibition and no attempt on the part of
the enemies of prohibition to emascu
late the laws can be tolerated. Ido
not believe that the delegates from
other sections of the country he j
controlled by the environs of the few
places in this Nation that are opposed
to prohibition, but it is my judgment
they will recognize the serious thought;
ts the South wherein is the heart and ;
soul of the Democratic party.
• No attempt should be made to draw j
an overdraft on the Democratic loyal- j
tv of the South.”
‘ Gov Moody said that Texas Demo
crats want an agricultural plank on the
basis of equality for the fanners with
©ther business. j
He said they wanted the corruption
©f the Republican party denounced, and ;
continued We also want the Demo- j
c:aiic party to take a forward position*
fr. the great moral issue of prohibition,
upon which the public mind feels in- j
tensely. Any quibbling upon these mat- ;
ters is unthinkable.”
The convention is to open at noon,
tomorrow, 1 o’clock Washington time.
The opening day will be given oyer
largely u> the keynote speech, which
will be delivered by Claude G. Bowers
©? New York, temporary chairman.
Bid for Dry Support.
Hull of Tennessee and George of
Georgia along with Evans Woollen of
Indiana are expected by the dry's to
do their “tot’’ toward halting Gov.
Smith‘s advance upon the presidential
nomination Senator Reed issued a
statement late yesterday, in which he
practically declared against the New
Yorker's proposal of having the various
Btales determine the alcoholic content
of beverages ‘did within their borders.
V was considered here a frank bid for
dry support In ’.he presidential race,
furthermore it ui understood to have
had the approval of some of the dry
leaders who supported McAdoo four
rears ago, and who are doing their best
today to psevent the nomination of Gov.

Hopes to Win Support of
Strife-Torn Delegation
in Caucus.
}
By.the Associated Press.
HOUSTON, June 25. Anti-Smith
leaders were concentrating today on the |
salvation of Oklahoma, one of the last j
outposts in their campaign as the Okla-!
homa delegation, tom between Smith j
and Reed, prepared to settle the course |
of its 20 votes at a caucus late today.
Both the Smith and Reed groups in
the strife-tom delegation were making
claims and with the battle growing
warmer, the delegates decided to past
pone a caucus meeting originally called
for noon until 4 p.m.
Senator Reed has confidently counted
on the Oklahoma delegation, which Is
controlled by the unit rule and there
fore bound by the decision of the ma
jority of Its delegates.
Meanwhile another conference of
leaders of the newly organized anti-
Smith group under the leadership ofl
Daniel Roper of South Carolina, was
called for late to theday.
Caucuses Today.
Whether Gov. Smith will be nomi
• nated on the first ballot, as many of his
j supporters believe, may be determined
| by nightfall.
On today’s calendar were the caucuses
; of a dozen or more State delegations
whose exact line-up on candidates has
not been disclosed. Party leaders, to
both the Smith and anti-Smith camps
counted on those get-togethers to fur
! nish an accurate line on what the con
: mention balloting has to store.
Claim TOO Votes Already.
Those keeping a close tab on doubtful ,
delegations had their eyes particularly
! on those from such States as Arkansas,
j Oklahoma. Virginia, Texas and Missls
| sippi. They were watching also the
delegates, pledged to support favorite
i sons, from Ohio. Indiana. Nebraska and
i Kansas.
Without counting in this group of
States, the Smith managers figured their
man already had bagged around 700
| votes to go over he would need 733*4.
and they were looking to the doubtful
! delegations to furnish the votes to make
| him the nominee.
The political foes of the New York
j Governor also were counting on this
block of States to give them enough
convention strength to stave off Smith’s
I nomination, and they refused to con
cede that their antagonist could make
inroads sufficient to make him a winner.
Eyes on Pennsylvania.
1 One of the big State delegations that
! attracted attention was that from Penn
, ‘ sylvania. The Smith men have been
, i claiming 66 to 69*4 of the 78 delegates;
i the opposition. 26. One prediction
I j coming from the anti-Smith camp was
■ that some of the Pennsylvanians allied
j with the Vance McCormick faction
• j might support Newton D. Baker of
t j Ohio Senator Reed also lias been
j counting on at least eight votes from
> i the Keystone State.
;; As for the Texas. Arkansas, Miwsis
• sippi and Virginia delegations, the
• j Smith managers hope to pick up a
.! batch of votes from them after the
:; first ballot, even if they fail to make
r the grade on the first. For the most
r j part they look to Ohio. Indiana and
t; Nebraska for second ballot support
. rather than first
Near Texas Delegation Majority.
t! There were reports going the rounds
> today tiiat Smith had close to a major
- jty of the Texas delegation of 40.
There also were predictions that the
t delegation might decide to give its first
. - ballot support to Jesse H Jones, the
j' banker and newspaper publisher, woo
! had a big part In bringing the con-
I I vention to his home town of Houston,
j * And on all sides there was a tendency
! to keep an eye of young Dan Moody,
the Governor of Texas and chairman
t i of the delegation, who is a dry.

* This information will be an immense
relief to Senator Harrison. He hasn't,
| the slightest idea, according to the
sense of his interviews with the press,
j what the Mississippi delegation is to
! do. and according to the sense of his
! statements to the reporters he is burn
ing to find out.
I The same applies to Gov. Moody of
Texas. Gov. Moody, according to the
way he talks to the reporters, can j
hardly wait until the delegation he is
supposed to control has a caucus.
But it is surprising how quickly the
delegations act after they have a caucus
In Kansas City, for instance, the Penn
sylvania delegation had a caucus and
within two minutes after it started the
door peeped open and a man whispered
to a bunch of reporters. “It's Curtis."

LATE ARRIVALS
SWELL PHALANX
Indiana Is Reported j
Ready to Support i
Governor.
i By the Associated Press.
HOUSTON. June 25—Meeting again |
like a reunited company of old com
rades, the Democrats of East and
West trooped into Houston today and
joined hands under the high flung ban
ner of Smith of New York.
Caucusing as they came, the fast
gathering delegates to the national
convention turned into certainties many
of the promises of support on which
the Smith men are relying for a quick
nomination when the balloting begins
* later to the week. An offer of 40 of
Ohio's 48 and the expectation of
similar pledges from various other
States led the Smith lieutenants to pre
dict that before nightfall he would have
enough delegates openly and publicly
pledged to him to bury remaining op
position in a first ballot landslide.
The one discordant note of the whole
big parade arose from a far-outnum
bered contingent of dissenters, dry and
anti-Tammany, and chiefly from the
South, But it was a shrill, somewhat
defiant note, and it may be heard again
from the floor of the convention, which !
opens at noon tomorrow.
Foes Still Claim 400.
Some of the Smith enthusiasts, who
said they based their opinions on re
ports from such favorite-son States as
Indiana, Ohio, Nebraska. Kansas and
Tennessee, put the ultimate strength of
the anti-irreconcilables at around 200
votes, out of a convention total of 1,100.
The anti-Smithltcs themselves are
claiming around 400, but they refused
to say from what States they hope to
get the votes.
News of the willingness of the Ohioans
to swing 40 to Smith on the first roll
call preceded the delegation Into Hous
ton. Coincidentally, the Smith people
also herd that Indiana likewise, after
voting for Woollen to her turn on the
alphabetical roll, might switch the bulk
of her strength of 30 to the New Yorker
if it would insure a first-ballot nomina
tion.
As arriving delegates swell by hun
dreds the waiting phalanx behind the
New Yorker. It became apparent even to
his still defiant enemies that he was on
the very threshold of definite victory.
Tlte boldest estimate of the minority
strength against him left him within
less than 50 votes of the nomination.
No other man so situated ever has
tailed of a quick and decisive triumph.
So satisfied were his followers that
many of them were talking more of a
running mate for Smith than of first
place on the ticket. Os the score of
names brought into the fast-whirling
pre-convention gossip, that of Evans
Woollen, Indiana's favorite son, found
at once a place of special eminence.
Robinson Is Boomed.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas was
among the others ardently supported by
some sections of the Smith bloc of dele
gates, but the net conclusion of all the
talk was that the time for a definite
measurement of vice presidential stat
ures had not yet come.
The final hours before convention
day prohibition became more than ever
the center of such disagreements as re
mained for the big party conclave and
its committees to iron out. While a
bandies*. ballyhooless, almost voiceless
Smith headquarters received arriving
delegations with modulated words of
welcome, there was much tumult else
where, and prohibition was its dominat
ing note.
Benator Reed of Missouri, who stump
ed many States against the quiet Smith
movement, started the excitement by
firing off a statement declaring the
eighteenth amendment must stand un
til a better method is found for dealing
with the situation. Called a wet many
times by prohibition leaders, the Mis
sourian's utterance was embraced Im
mediately by these leaders, and It ap
peared likely that he might have at
tracted to his slender column of dele
gate strength some antl-Smlth dele
gates who otherwise would have voted
for others
Drys Renew Campaign.
Just how this was to affect the final
balance, or at what point it was In
tended to cut Into the Smith majority,
was not apparent.. But the Reed state
ment greatly encouraged the drys and
set them to work all over again, under
the leadership of Daniel C. Roper of
South Carolina, to an attempt to organ
ize a bloc sufficient to veto his nomina
tion and write into the platform the
kind of ultra-dry plank they want.
Smith headquarters said nothing.
Some of the lesser Smith lieutenants,
however, passed the word around that
even while Reed was preparing his state
ment and Roper was gathering his
band of drys, there had been band
wagon accessions to Smith In such num
bers that a first-ballot nomination could
be accomplished almost without a strug
gle, if it were desired.
The presidential balloting will not be
reached before Thursday, or possibly
Friday. The deep-dyed anti-Smith con
tingent, centering largely In the South,
Insists that within this space of time all
things are possible to politics. To
which the Smithites reply that once a
presidential band wagon starts on Its
way, nothing short of a political earth
quake can stop It.
Brief Daylight Sessions.
The convention program Is not yet
complete, but leaders are considering a
plan that would confine the daylight
sessions within the briefest possible lim
its and leave the real work of the con
vention to be done at night.
On convening at noon tomorrow the

STEWART INDICTED
BY GRAND JURY
Perjury Charged in Alleged
Falsity of Answers Before
Senate Committee.
i
Perjury is charged in an indictment j
reported today by the grand jury!
against Robert W. Stewart, chairman of
the board of directors of the Standard
Oil Co. of Indiana. The charge is based
on the alleged falsity of answers given
by Col. Stewart when called to testify
before the Senate committee on public
lands and surveys February 2, when he
was asked about the disposition of Lib
erty bonds of the Continental Trad
ing Co.
Col. Stewart was acquitted June 14. j
after a trial on an indictment alleging
that he had refused to answer the ques
tions propounded by the Senate com
mittee.
The new indictment hi in three counts.
The first count alleges that Stewart de
nied that he knew anything of the dis
tribution or the Continental Trading
Co. bond* when In truth and in fact he
not only knew about the distribution,
but had actually himself received $759,-
500 worth of these bonds.
The second count alleges that Stew
art denied he had personally received ;
»nv of the bonds when in truth and in
fact lie had received $759,500 worth of
third count asserts that Stewart
denied he had any conversation or j
knowledge that would lead him to be-;
lleve that any bonds had been received
by any person or organization, politic*!,
or otherwise, when in truth and m fact j
he had knowledge of the receipt of some
of the bonds by individuals and had
htmSf received $759,500 worth oftheim j
The indictment sets forth Senate
resolutions 282 and 294. which orig
inally authorized the Inquiry into the
leases of naval oil reserves, and reso
lution 101. directing the investigation
into the Continental Trading Co. and j
its activities. It was in furtherance of
this inquiry, it is stated, that Col.
Stewart was called before the commit
tee and the questions alleged to be
pertinent to the matters under consid
eration by the committee were pro
pounded to him.
It was Stewart’s testimony that
caused John D. Rockefeller. Jr., to de
mand his resignation as chairman of
the corporation’s board of directors.

KELLOGG REVEALS

Peace Treaty Text Sent to 14:
Nations Shows Revisions j
in Form Only.
I
By the Associated Press.
Drafts of a treaty which Secretary
Kellogg is confident will "bring man
kind's age-long aspirations for universal
peace nearer to practical fulfillment
than ever before in the history of the
! world" t&day awaited action at the
j capitals of 14 nations.
Growing originally from the proposal
j of. the French foreign minister. Aristides
; Briand. that France and the United
; States join in a compact renouncing
I and outlawing war between each other,
j the drafts were delivered on Saturday
j to the governments of Australia, Bel
gium, Canada. Czechoslovakia, France,
j Germany. Great Britain. India, the Irish
Free State. Italy, Japan. New Zealand.
Poland and South Africa. An expian
! atory note from Secretary Kellogg ac
comoanied each.
Under the proposed treaty, the text
of which was made public yesterday,
the signatory' nations would “solemly
, declare • * • that they condemn re
course to war • • * and renounce it
j as an instrument of national policy in
i their relations with one another.”
; In addition, they would agree "that
‘ the settlement and solution of all dis
! putes or conflicts of whatever nature or
j of whatever origin they may be. which
arise among them shall never be sought
i except by pacific means.”
In the preamble, it is made clear that
should one signatory power "seek to
promote its national interests by resort
to war." all other signatory nations
would be freed immediately of their
obligations to the offending state under j
the treaty, and that the latter would be j
"denied the benefits" of the compact.
In his note. Secretary Kellogg de- j
dared that the United States was ready |
; to sign the treaty as proposed imme- I
I diately and expressed the hope that the i
other nations would be able to accept It
promptly and without qualifications.
He pointed out that the new' draft !
was a modification "in form though not |
in substance" of the treaty proposed by
the United States In April. The :
changes were made, he said, to avoid i
delaying or complicating the negotia- j
Uons, since it was possible in this way j

KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen. June 25
Gen. Nobile, rescued by a Swedish
I plane from the ice floe on which he
! had been marooned since May 25, to
day was determined to lead a new ex
j pedition into the Arctic in search of
' missing survivors from the dirigible

Seven men who were in the balloon

ion the polar ice cap. injuring Nobile.
! were his immediate concern. They had
drifted to the east, and he believed he
could lead a rescue expedition to them.
Nothing has been learned of the fate
of these men since the Italia crashed.
Although there were ample supplies
aboard the craft to enable them to
withstand the rigors of the Arctic for a
long period, there was grave fear for
] their safety, ir the balloon had been

It was expected that Nobile soon would
recover sufficiently from fractures anu

' where he believed they might have come
i down. This desire to go to the aid of
hU missing companions was believed to

Plane Lands With Skis.
A Swedish plane equipped with skis
made a landing Saturday near Nobile s
camp on the Tee near Foyn Island, a
feat which the Italian rescue flyers here
had thought impossible. A little later
the plane took off with the hxjured
leader, leaving his five companions,
Lieut. Alfredo Viglieri, Pressor F. Be

iano and Natale Ceccioni. still stranded
on the ice.
(An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Copenhagen said that the Italian
legation at Oslo had received word that
the Swedish plane also rescued another
member of the Nobile party who was
injured. Ceeclont’s leg was broken hi
the Italia crash so the reference might
have been to him. The Italian govern

base ship Citta di Milano, was Informed
that the general alone was rescued).
