WICKERSHAM CITES
LESSON OE BRITISH
Drunkenness Conquered With
Education Rather Than
Penalties, He Says.
By th* Associated Pren.
BOSTON. June 10—Prohibition en
forcement agenciea could find "cogent
auggestion" In the experience of Eng
land and Wales of better methods of
attaining the object of the eighteenth .
amendment than those pursued during i
the last decade, In the opinion of j
George W. Wickersham. chairman ofj
the National Commission on Law Ob
servance and Enforcement.
A general process of education "into
the evils of excessive drinking and
the advantages of other forms of in
nocent amusement” have been credited
in large part with marked decreases
in drunkenness in those countries, he
said here last night in addressing 5 000
social workers attending the fifty
seventh National Conference of Social
Work.
Quoting British authorities, he cited
other factors, including improved hous
ing conditions and cultural advantages,
certain restrictions in hours of sale of
liquors and higher liquor cost.
Drunkeness More Rare.
"One magistrate said the decline in
drunkeness nad been so steady during
the post-war years that he had sug
gested to the chief superintendent of
K* that it was rather unkind to
an offender into the Police Court;
he ought to be taken to a museum,
said Wickersham. , , , .
In an address devoted in large part
to the problem of law enforcement,
Mr. wickersham spoke specifically of
the national prohibition law.
He declared that no attempts at edu
cation as to Its merits have been made
since its enactment, temperance work
has been abandoned and dependence
for enforcement has been placed upon
the power of the Government to Im
pose fines and imprisonment.
"No process of education or attempt
ed education of the public of the value
of prohibition to accomplish the max
imum of temperance In the communi.y
was attempted during this period, he
C °"The n long course of demonstration of
the evils of the use of intoxicating
liquor which led to adoption of the
eighteenth amendment was abandoned.
Matter of Education.
"From the enactment of the Volstead
act down to the present time, reliance
upon carrying out the purpose or tne
amendment was placed upon the power
of the Government to compel by the
imposition of penalties of fine and im
prisonment the general observance cf
the statute law.
"The problem of law enforcement is
a matter of education in law observ
ance. Preventive measures rather than
penalties should be emphasized. Sym
pathy and helpfulness, rather than the
rod. the cell and the stone pile, should
be tried in order that lawlessness be re
duced to the lowest point.”

against him while he was In French
exile, but he moved quickly to punish
those of his enemies who committed new
offenses.
Upon learning that Dr. C. Angelescu,
who was minister of education in the
last Liberal cabinet of MM. V. and J.
Bratlanu. had spoken disrespectfully of
him at a Liberal meeting yesterday, he
ordered him prosecuted Immediately.
Dr, Kostinescu, mayor of Bucharest,
and Dr. Demetrescu Braila. former mln
- ister of health, were ordered prosecuted
likewise for similar offenses. Their
party, named Liberal, but actually Ultra-
Conservative, was said to have voted
yesterday not to support the monarchy,
although not suggesting revolution.
20,000 Charges Quashed.
In contrast to the moves to suppress
objectionable political enmity. King
Carol ordered that all charges of a
pardonable nature —both political and
growing out of temper caused by ex
treme distress —against 20.000 persons
still accountable for military offenses
during the World War, be quashed. AH
acts and ordinances promulgated dur
ing the reign of the boy-king, Michael,
Carol's son, were confirmed.
After a two-hour conference M.
Manlu left Carol’s presence visibly
cheerfdl and told the press that while
he was not yet intrusted with the
formation of the government he felt
that he could find colleagues within
24 hours among his own party. His
words were considered significant that
he would head the new regime.
It Is still mooted whether the prin
cess’ mother. Helen, will become recon
ciled with Carol —which the King de
sires very much —or remain apart from
him. Latest reports say that Carol will
be crowned in October at Alba Julia
without a queen at his side, but at
tended by his little son. Michael, as
Prince of Alba Julia.
Wife Loses Status In Greece.
It was believed today in political
circles that Princess Helen will choose
a home away from the capital, but
near enough to watch the education
of their son. She is a princess of
Greece and has no status in her own
country now, and so may not return
there.
Strong forces are being brought to
bear to gain her consent to annulment
of the divorce from Carol.
It Is understood that Vlntila Bra
tianu, chieftain of the Liberal party
and principal opponent of the new
King, will resign if his group swings
to the new regime.
The King's problem is that he de
sires to solve the political discord with
out dissolving the Parliament which
yesterday placed him upon the throne.
MME. LL’PESCU DISAPPEARS.
BELLEME ORNE, France, June 10
OP). —Mmc Lupescu, titian-haired com
panion of Carol, now King of Rumania,
left the Chateau de Belleme for an un
revealed destination Wednesday after
noon, 24 hours after the departure of
Prince Carol. She was not aware of
Carol'6 proposed return to Rumania un
til he failed to return to the chateau
for dinner Tuesday evening. She has
not been here since her departure.
Such Is the information gathered
from servants of the chateau and the
owner of a garage who prepared Mme.
Lupescu's car for her departure. Ap
parently the only other person in the
village who had an Intimation of im
pending events was a druggist, who pre
pared a prescription for her.
According to the garage proprietor,
Ehe seemed distraught when she left
and anxious to catch up with Carol.
Local tradesmen appeared genuinely
regretful. They said Mme. Lupescu was
"very generous." Several French report
ers have been keeping close watch upon
the chateau in an attempt to Interview
Mme. Lupescu or catch sight of her.
CITY HAS 1,948,779
PHILADELPHIA, June 10 (£*).—Un
official estimates of the population of
Philadelphia indicate that the figures
may not reach the 2.000,000 mark, as
had been hoped by those in charge of
the census here. Latest estimates gave
a population of 1,948,779. but a recheck
of the city is underway which may re
sult in an increase. Philadelphia's
population in 1920 was 1,823,779.

BIG REWARDS SPUR
HUNT FOR SLAYER
OF NEWS REPORTER
(Continued From First Page.)
of his closest friends, their acquaintance
having begun when Russell was walking
a patrolman's beat 20 years ago.
Was Often Sought Out.
Because of his wide police acquain
tanceship, the Tribune said, Lingle fre
quently was sought out by gangsters
and racketeers who wanted him to use
his "drag” to help them promote some
illegal enterprise. "Invariably he told
them he could gain no such permission
for them even If he tried.” the Tribune
said, "and that if they attempted to go
ahead with their plans they would
surely be brought to answer before the
law.”
Every branch of law enforcement
promised full and unrelenting prose
cution of the hunt for Lingle's slayer.
Commissioner Russell said: "I’d give
my two eyes to solve the murder of A1
Lingle. Nothing that I can do will be
left undone.”
Chief of Detectives Stege, who also
was Intimately acquainted with Lingle,
said: “I haven’t much, but I would give
all I have to be able to arrest the man
who killed him. My time in the de
partment is short, probably not more
than nine months more, and every min
ute of every hour for the rest of my
time in the department I will devote
toward the apprehension of A1 Lingle's
slayer.”
Anton Cermak, president of the
County Board, saw in the slaying of
the newspaper man "the ultimate In
gang warfare.”
Believes Murder Warning.
Frank J. Loesch. president of the Chi
cago Crime Commission, commented:
"The murder of Mr. Lingle was in
tended as a warning to Chicago news
papers that they have to stop going
after gangsters. I have tried to tell
the people that gangsters eventually
would start killing honest citizens.
Gangsters are trying to terrorize the
whole community. We must not sub
mit.”
Sweeping orders for a new round-up
of gangsters were issued immediately
after the body of Lingle was identified.
Several arrests followed, but none of the
prisoners was believed to have been the
man who fired the single shot into the
back of Lingle's head.
One man arrested was John J. “Boss”
McLaughlin, former legislator, who, po
lice learned, had sought Lingle's aid
in starting a gambling racket. Lingle
refused, and police were told that Mc-
Laughlin threatened to "get even." Mc-
Laughlin denied ever making any
threats and professed friendship for
Lingle.
Six Are Arrested.
The slain newspaper man was mar
ried and the father of two small chil
dren. He was a native Chicagoan and
began work at the Tribune as an of
fice boy.
In connection with the slaying, a de
tective squad raided the headquarters
of Joe Aleello and arrested Dominic
Aiello, Joes brother; Dominic Tripoli
and Frank Pezzo. They found two pis
tols and a pump gun In the place.
Soon after Dominic Aiello and Pezzo
were arrested, another detective squad
seized three more leadeVs of the near
North Side gang. Carlo Aiello, Frank
Grundotzo and Vito Botitto.
Tracked Down Robbers.
Lingle was Instrumental In tracking
down eight robbers over a period of
as many years for Arthur Cutten,
prominent grain trader and personal
friend. This circumstance held place
today In a multitude of theories on
motives for the reporter’s slaying.
The Cutten home in Downers Grove
was invaded by nine robbers eight
years ago. After looting the place they
left Cutten locked in a vault to suf
focate. He was rescued by a house
man. who had wriggled free from
bonds.
Mr. Cutten vowed to spare neither
time nor expense to bring justice to the
robbers. He sought the aid of Lingle,
who was credited with the work wh:ch
eventually landed eight of the criminals
in prison. The ninth was expected to
be captured shortly.

| Where the Russian government ob
* tains its funds on which It operates,
j despite the heavy drain on the country,
!he said, was a mystery to him. He
! added that large sums were devoted to
disseminating Communists’ propaganda
I In foreign countries, and the representa
tives of the government were given in
structions to teach the Idea of revolt.
Soviet government diplomatic pouches,
he continued, were used for spreading
propaganda. The direct attacks of the
Communist party, he said, were through
subsidizing newspapers, and he cited the
Daily Worker, the official organ of the
Communists in New York.
Father Walsh said the Soviets took
groups of from 20 to 30 persons from
the United States to Moscow to train
them without expense. Other work in
this country, he added, was to train
American radicals to advocate reform,
incite labor troubles. Issue propaganda
against national defense, and organize
camps for teaching Communistic
theories. . ,
The educator said camps had been
found in this country for boys and girls
from between 13 and 16 years of age.
where were taught hatred of the United
States Government and disrespect for
its principles.
Another phase of the Soviet attack
was. he 6aid, the cultivation of certain
types of professors and teachers of
American universities and other ‘‘in
tellectuals" who return to this country
and teach, consciously or unconsciously,
un-American doctrines.
Before he left the witness stand he
charged that a red flag wa* flown for
two hours on last May day from the
mainmast at the University of Chi
cago. His information, he said, came
from the American Vigtlants Intelli
gence Association, a patriotic organiza
tion.
Communistic doctrines, he said, were
being placed in schools and in some
churches He suggested that the com
mittee investigate to what extent clergy
men might have succumbed to the
Communist doctrines.

BUREAU LEGION
TO AID MEMORIAL
Co-operation in Drive for
Fund to Honor D. C. War
Dead Voted.
Impetus was given the campaign of
the Washington Central Labor Union to
complete financing of the District of
Columbia World War Memorial last
night, when the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing Po6t of the American Le
gion indorsed the movement.
The legionnaires, meeting in Red
Men's Hall, were addressed by James
Windsor, a member of the memorial
fund committee of the labor organiza
tion. He explained the purpose of the
drive was to raise $20,000 In order to
reach the goal of $155,000 necessary to
construct a white stone temple of classic
design In West Potomac Park.
Early Success Assured.
Loud applause greeted Mr. Windsor’s
statement that the committee In charge
had received assurances of support In
dicating the drive would be brought to
a successful conclusion soon. At the
conclusion of his speech the organiza
tion voted unanimously to do every
thing possible to aid the movement.
James Kehoe, commander, who pre
sided, appealed to the members to co
operate in making the drive a success
"throughout the city as well as In the
bureau.” He announced similar action
was expected to be taken at a meeting
of the Woman’s Union of the bureau
tonight In the Typographical Temple,
423 G street.
Receipt of the first contribution
since the campaign began—a check for
SIOO from John Hays Hammond, noted
engineer—was announced by Frank
Lee, chairman, at a meeting of the
memorial committee of the Central
Labor Union last night in the Inter
national Association of Machinists’
Building, Ninth and Massachusetts
avenue. Mr. Lee declared the dona
tion was particularly gratifying be
cause it,was unsolicited.
Learns Through Press.
Mr. Hammond mailed his check to
William Green, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, after read
ing newspaper accounts of Mr. Green’s
efforts to aid the Central organization
in its drive.
Mr. Lee, vice president of the Mount
Vernon Savings Bank, announced nu
merous other prominent residents had
indicated they would contribute. He
said additional Snators and Repre
sentatives had pledged their support.
Plans were made to send speakers to
other meetings of American Legion
posts in the near future.
MELLON IS BELIEVED
FOE OF TARIFF AS
PERIL TO TREASURY
(Continued From First Page.)
Secretary Mellon collected duties on
$1,566,000,000 worth of imported prod
ucts, accounting for a revenue of,
roundly. $800,000,000. Nearly a quarter
of the latter sum. or $197,000,000. was
paid on Imports of Cuban sugar. Other
foodstuffs, subject to tariff duties, were
brought Into the United States for a
total value of $436,000,000. Os foreign
manufactured products Imported after
tariff payment, the gross value was
$640,000,000.
Prides Seif on Record.
Andrew Mellon has prided himself
during his 10 years as chancellor of
Uncle Sam's exchequer on keeping down
Treasury deficits. He has not always
been publicly Identified with "economy
policies,” but his behind-the-scenes In
fluence in the cabinet and the Budgpt
Bureau Invariably has been on the side
of deficit-dodging programs. The Treas
ury chief knows that enactment of the
proposed new skyscraper tariffs on im
ports Is bound to cause decreased Im
ports. That means shrunken revenue
from the customs. It means possible
Treasury deficits.
Mellon even Is looking beyond the
exchequer's balance sheet. He Is a
banker. The ramifications of his pri
vate financial Interests, to say nothing
of the United States vast stake In for
eign prosperity, are such that he com-
Srehends what It denotes to "abroad”
’ "abroad’s” road to the American
market is cut off or curtailed. It means
that foreign governments and Indus
trial corporations, which borrow hun
dreds of millions of dollars annually
in America, aren’t going to be as good
Investments for American dollars as
they would be if industry In those coun
tries was booming. It is dependent to
a large extent on the American market.
By Just that degree to which foreign
industry cannot do business with the
United State? foreign nations are pre
vented from being good credit or in
vestment risks.
Secretary Mellon has been much im
pressed by the protests, official and
semi-official, which have rrftned in on
the State Department since the Haw
ley-Smoot tariff began to terrify for
eign countries.

WATSON DEFENDS BILL.
Says Measure In for Limited Revision
Only.
By the Associated Press.
Urging adoption of the tariff bill con
ference report. Senator Watson, the
Republican leader, told the Senate to
day the legislation "approximates the
desires expressed” by President Hoover
for a limited revision.
He quoted from a Tariff Commission
analysis, w'hlch said only 1,122, or 34
per cent, of the Items are changed, In
cluding 887 increases and 235 decreases.
"The pending bill, therefore, is a
limited revision and not a general re
vision of the tariff,” he said.
The reduction in rates were "not In
any case to the disadvantage of agri
culture, and in many cases will benefit
agriculture,” he added.
By the Associated Press.
Senate Republican leaders continued
confident today of enough votes to pass
the bill by a narrow margin.
The final roll call, concededly close,
was expected to come on Thursday or
Friday. Chairman Smoot of the finance
committee, in charge of the bill, pre
dicted the earlier date.
Meanwhile the members of the Sen
ate were given a last opportunity to
express their attitudes for or against
the measure. To expedite action, the
two sections of the conference report—
one dealing with nearly all of the rate
i schedules and the other with the flex
: ible provisions and the lumber tariff —
were combined.
Thus a single roll call will determine
i the fate of the bill. It will be neces
, sary, thereafter. If the measure is ap
l proved, for the House to vote again on
• the rates section of the conference
report. Points of order raised by Sen
; ate Democrats made necessary a revi
i sion of this section after it had been
' approved by the House. Final House
. action Is expected early next week,
r All factions in the tariff dispute were
, still waiting today for an announcement
from the two Pennsylvania Senators of
• whether they will vote for or against
r the bill. Senator Grundy is comparing
• the measure closely with the present
• law to see which. In his opinion, af
i fords better protection for American
. Industries. Senator Reed was In Lon
. don attending the Naval Conference
throughout most of the tariff debate.
• With both the Pennsylvanians voting
» against the measure, it was estimated
- that it would be defeated by a single
. ballot. The old guard Republican lead
» ers, however, showed no \ alarm and
were confident ai support from both.
DOMINION STATUS
FOR INDIA IS SEEN
Simon Commission Report’s
Recommendations to Be
Made June 24.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON. June 10. —Great Britain's
problem in India was before the empire
today in ’as complete a statement and
as exhaustive a form as it has ever
been presented: for recommendations
of the investigators for solution of that
problem it will be necessary to wait,
however, until June 24.
On that day the commission on
Indian statutory reform, headed by Sir
John Simon, will publish the second
volume of the report of their two and
one-half years’ Inquiry into Indian
affairs, the first volume of the report
dealing with the situation being that
which was made public today.
Progress of Women Cited.
Observers believe that the recom
mendations, which will remain as a
closely guarded state secret until re
leased, will be considered liberal from
the British viewpoint. One possibility
advanced was that the commission
would recommend dominion status for
India within a definite number of years.
One of the most Interesting sections
of the report deals with progress of
women In India, and it is remarked that
the progressive movement for Indian
women "holds the key of progress; the
result* It may achieve are Incalculably
great."
There was, in the final paragraph of
today's offering, perhaps, a promise of
what the second volume —of recommen
dations—will 'contain. The commis
sioners, concluding, declared: "The
British people, so long accustomed to
self-government, are bound to sympa
thize with this movement (Indian
nationalism).
Pledged to Aid India.
"We are pledged to help India along
her way, and constructive effort is
needed. * • * In our view the most
formidable of the evils from which
India is suffering have their roots In
social and economic customs of long
standing, which can only be remedied
by the action of peoples themselves.
They are much less likely to be
remedied if the blame for their con
tinuance can be put, however reasonably,
on others.
"We desire to see the forces of public
opinion which exist in India concen
trated and strengthened for the prac
tical work of reform. It is only when
the difficulties of constructive policy are
really faced that the inadequacy of gen
eral phrases begins to be realized."
The first volume of the report Is an
exhaustive compendium of facts, rang
ing from discussion of population, racial
and religious factors to treatment of
possibilities of "dyarchy," which is the
name given to the forms under which
the British rule while allowing as great
a degree of self-government as is pos
sible.
The report brings out that India has
about 320,000,000 population In a terri
tory not 20 times as large as Great
Britain, that there are 222 vernaculars
spoken and that not 2,500,000 persons
are literate in English, which is the
nearest to being an empire-wide lan
guage. Implacable enmity of Hindus,
in a majority in India, and of Moham
medans, a big minority, is treated at
length. The Christians, with 4,500.000
converts, are credited with being the
third largest sect.
The country is described as being
predominantly agricultural, although
its industries have been so enhanced as
to make it one of the eight large in
dustrial areas in the world. The popu
lation is overwhelmingly rural, un
touched by politics and such movements
as nationalism; many even of those
who live In the cities do so only in the
periods of slack work on the farms.
Present Suzerainty Plays Part.
It is brought out that of the total of
1,800,000 square miles in India approxi
mately 700,000 square miles, or more
than one-third of the whole, lie In the
independent Indian states, which, while
recognizing British suzerainty, are es
sentially sovereign principalities. It is
stated emphatically that no future
scheme for India can fail to take these
native states and existing agreements
with them into full account.
The report comments, with reference
to the Dyarchlal system, on the infre
quency with which it has been neces
sary for the British governments to
certify or veto legislation and declares
that the Indian legislative assemblies
have had a profound Influence upon
acts of the governor general and gov
ernors of the provinces.
Especial attention was given by the
commissioners to the northwest fron
tier province, which has been the scene
during the past few weeks of incursions
by neighboring tribesmen, who have
been told that British authority no
longer exists. The system by which
the army in India is recruited among
natives and built around a British
nucleus also is discussed.
The final chapters of the report are
devoted to education —which, it is said,
must be given further impetus—and to
development of public opinion. "Indian
political thought finds it tempting to
foreshorten history and is unwilling to
wait for the final stage of a prolonged
evolution," it is said in one place. "It
is impatient of the doctrine of gradual
ness."
Members of Commission.
The commission, headed by Sir John
81mon, contained besides him the fol
lowing: Viscount Burnham, Lord Strat
chona, C. G. Cadogan, M. P. Vernon
Hartshorn, Col. G. A. Lane Pox and
MaJ. C. R. Atlee, all members of Parlia
ment. It was authorized in the gov
ernment of India act of 1919 and made
two trips to India, traveling over 21,000
miles.
While in India the All-India National
Congress, the Gandhi organization, and
other Nationalist organizations boy
cotted it and considerable criticism was
directed toward it because it contained
no native members. The commission
ers were unanimous in their findings
and stressed that every opportunity
was taken to avail themselves of native
opinion on every phase of the Indian
problem.
Their report makes it clear in Its first
chapters that the principal premise of
their investigation was the declaration
in the Montagu-Chelmsford report of
1918 and the succeeding government of
i India act that the purpose of Parlia
ment was "to provide for the increasing
association of Indians in every branch
of Indian administration and for the
gradual development of self-governing
institutions with a view to the pro
gressive realization of responsible gov
ernment in British India as an integral
i part of the empire."

JOHN A. CHAMBERLAIN EXPIRES;
PIONEER IN MANUAL TRAINING
Was Leader in Putting
Courses in District
School System.
Pioneer Instructor Was 65
Years of Age When End
Came Today.
a
John A. Chamberlain, popularly
known as the "father of manual train
ing” in the District of Columbia public
school system, died at his home, 1502
Emerson street, at 9 o'clock this morn
ing. following an Illness of two weeks.
Mr. Chamberlain had been super- i
visor of manual training In the public
schools since 1906, when the system
was reorganized. He first came to the
public schols in 1887, when he was
made Instructor In manual training
at the then Washington High School.
Graduated with a degree In mechan
ical engineering from the Worcester
Polytechnlcal Institute, In Massachu
setts, Mr. Chamberlain taught until
1889, when he was made director of
woodworking. The following year his
title was changed to director of manual
training and in 1906 he was raised to
the position held at the time of his
death.
Built Training Course.
Mr. Chamberlain came to the Wash
ington schools as the successor of Wal
ter G. Wesson, who had preceded him
as first instructor In manual training
and who also was a Worcester grad
uate The manual training work had
been inaugurated by C. H. Koyl, an
instructor in physics in the high school.
Mr. Wesson was the first regular In
structor In manual training, the course
having been set up under the direction
of W. B. Powell, then superintendent
of schools. Mr. Wesson left shortly
after coming here and Mr. Chamberlain
undertook to complete the building up
of an adequate manual training course,
then one of the few in the United
States.
Under Mr. Chamberlain’s supervision
the manual training work grew to be
come one of the outstanding educa
tional activities in Washington public
schools. Originally located in the base
ment of the high school, Mr. Chamber
lain's early shop subsequently was
moved across the street to 626 O street,
a building ivhich had been used at I
various times as a residence, a saloon, j
and a livery stable.

that by 1890 the adjoining house was

both buildings used by the pioneer

grew so rapidly that by 1902 a new

Mr. Chamberlain became ill at his
office in the Franklin Administration
Building a week ago tomorrow. He went
to his home and his illness, heart dis

serious. Four' days ago. however, his
condition became critical and he died
this morning at 65 years of age.

POLICY ON TREATY
TO BE SET FORTH
BY COMMITTEE
(Continued From First Page.)
| turned down by the committee, it was
said.
While no opposition was expressed
today in the committee to a general
statement of the principal that the
Senate as a co-ordinate treaty-making
power should have all the documents
and information in regard to the ne
gotiation of treaties, there may be a
difference of opinion in the commit
, tee over the language to be used in
stating the principal, it was indicated.
Senator Johnson's fight to obtain the
confidential documents on the London
treaty appears to have been lost. In
deed there seems little chance of a
majority of the foreign relations com
mittee would demand that the Presi
dent transmit this data to the commit
tee. The statement of the general
principal, however, is a very different
proposition.
Meets Again Tomorrow.
The committee adjourned at noon to
meet again tomorrow. Senator Borah
said that tomorrow being the regular
meeting today the committee might give
its attention to other matters than the
London treaty.
He was unable to say whether the
subcommittee would be ready to submit
a redraft of the Black resolution at
tomorrow’s session. If it is not taken
up tomorrow it is likely to come before
the committee on Thursday.
The committee chairman again ex
pressed the opinion that it would be
possible for the committee to act finally
on the treaty before the end of this
week.
In some quarters the apparent will
ingness of the foreign relations com
mittee to adopt a resolution at this
time setting forth the right of the com
mittee to documents relating to treaty
negotiations aroused considerable sur
prise.

19 IN TEXAS SEEK '
GOVERNOR’S CHAIR
Moody and Ferguson Clash
as State Executive Scores
Wife’s Candidacy.
By the Associated Press.
AUSTIN, Tex.. June 10.— A field of
IB candidates for Governor of Texas
today was certified for the July 26
primaries as the result of State com
mittee meetings marked by Republican j
harmony and Democratic verbal com
bat. Fourteen of the candidates are
Democrats and five are Republicans. ; ;
Gov. Dan Moody, refusing to be a
candidate, and James E. Ferguson, re
moved as chief executive by impeach
ment, enlivened the Democratic com
mittee meeting yesterday by a heated
exchange of words.
Ferguson, barred by impeachment, /
had named his wife, Miriam A. Fergu
son. also a former chief executive, to
do family honors as a candidate. The
tilt developed when Gov. Moody ex- f
pressed hope that Ferguson, “running
under his wife's petticoats,” would not
be nominated.
Gov. Moody expressed the hope that
the Democrats would not nominate j
either Mrs. Ferguson or former United
States Senator Earle B. Mayfield. He
declared that Senator Mayfield was
“unfit to hold public office.”
Ferguson jumped to his feet and,
shaking his finger at the governor,
shouted: “I dare you to run, you
coward.”
“I met you and defeated you. There
can be no greater coward than one who
betrays public trust and seeks to de
stroy good government, and I anticipate
your ignominious defeat,” Gov. Moody ,
retorted.
State Senator Thomas B. Love, a
“Hoover Democrat" in 1928. who estab
lished through the courts his right to
a place on the Democratic ballot this
year as a candidate for the guberna
torial nomination, despite his refusal to
support Gov. Alfred E. Smith for Presi
dent, informed the committee that he
would not be bound by a pledge of
regularity.
He said he would not support Mrs.
Ferguson or John Putnam of Houston,
candidates for governor, or R. L. Henry
of Houston, candidate for United Statea
Senator, in the event they were nomi
nated.
Republicans, meeting at Houston,
certified five candidates and a com
plete State slate, expressing high hopes >
for a State victory. H. E. Hume, Am
arillo ranchman, and Dr. George C.
Butte of Austin, who received the
largest number of votes ever cast for
a Republican candidate for governor ,
in Texas against Mrs. Ferguson in 1924,
were drafted.

GREEN ASKS HOOVER
TO PUSH NAVY PLANS
(From yesterday 5:30 Edition of The Star.)
By the Associated Press. «
Advancement of naval construction
work to prevent a further aggravation
of the unemployment situation at the
navy yards was recommended to Presi
dent Hoover today by William Green,
j president of the American Federation
of Labor.
Green told the President that there
were about 2,000 less men working in
I the yards now' than in November and
i that substantial and increasing reduc
tions w’ere threatened which would in
crease unemployment, which, he said.
“is still very bad.”
He recommended that contemplated
modernization work upon old vessels be
started at once to absorb the threatened
lay-offs and that the cruiser construc
tion be begun at the earliest possible
time. *
At the New York Navy Yard. Mr.
Green said, 300 men are to be dis
charged due to the holding up of the *
curiser construction program and that
unless a battleship is sent to the Phila
delphia Navy Yard, 2.000 men are to
be discharged there beginning about
October 1.
With the completion of moderniza
tion work on the battleship Arizona at
I Norfolk, Mr. Green said, 2,000 men
| would loose their jobs there, 600 men
! at Mare Island and 418 at the Wash-
I ington gun factory.
