BITTER SENATE BATTLE LOOMS _ * k Mhrs- McCormick’s New Goal *in 1930 Campaign May Produce Fireworks crusaders, Ruth Hanna McCormick, member rf congress, and Charier I 8. Deneen, senior senator, are set ting the Illitois political sta:re for a blttef batt> over the 1930 repub lican senatorial nomination. Mrs McCormick would be the first worn tan to run for the senate. Behind the asbestos curtain, prop' are being set for a duel that surely will develop pyrotechnids and strange alliances. Mrs. McCormick crusaded last summer on the cont°ntion that women were entitled to authority ir legislation. Her sex flocked to her and she won notab; victories in the primary and rtener ' election. Deneen came om retirement five years ago to defeat Mrs. McCor j truck's husband, the then Senator Medill MrCormick. for the .nina- | tlon. Deneen had been a rrusadtnr state's attorney i- ''ook county, ane’ a governor before retiring to prac , tice law. I Deneen Wins Ticket Two years ago. Deneen challenged the faction of Mayor William Hair Thomp ju, and with "reformation' on his banner de ated Tbomr'on'r state and county t.ckets. The sen ior senator is credited with the campaign against night clubs and cabarets—in general, the fedcra’ government's drive to dry' up Chi cago. He is closely linked with the temperance organiaztions. Mrs. McCormick Ls the daughter of Mark Hanna, the outspoken dic i t~tor c repubhean’sm of the Mc Kinley-Roosevelt era. Lightning ishes warned of the impending storm as early as thr national convention In Kansas City Wm summer Deneen sou^ t tr name both the state's members of the national committee. Mrs. Mc Cormick and others objected and > Deneen’s woman candidate, Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Neill, a state leg islator. was sacrificed. Mrs. Bertha Baur obtaining the place. She had been identified with the Thompson faction and was supported by Mrs I McCormick. Women Split Rank A split in the women's republican ranks dcevloped when Mrs. O'Neill accused Mrs. McCormick of "play ing politics" with the women, claim ing that Mrs. McCormick had 'balk ed" her <Mrs. O'Neill* at every turn. In Cook county the republican factions are headed by Deneen. Thompson. Avery, Brundage and a remnant of the Len Small ma chine. Downstate there are groups largely controlled by Governor Em merson, Otis F. Glenn, the junior senator. Oscar E. Carlstrom. the at torney general and smaller cliques controlled by minor state officials and members of congress. Mrs. McCormick probably would draw the Thompson. Brundage and Len Srr.ajl support in Cook county, and obtain the alliance of Glenr and Emerson down-state. Chief Defense Lawyer for Strikers Viewed as *Foreigner9 - M—. ■ .—..... -- --- - GASTONIA. N. C., Aug. 8.— De spite his rcic of chief counsel for the murder-charged communists, at their trial growing out of la..t spring's strike in cne of the big tex tile mills here. Gastonia lans gener ally speak well of Dr. John Rand doplph Neal—who. by the way. helped Clarence Darrow. on the Darv .lian side of the Scopes case m 1925 of thereabouts. “We recognize Dr. Neal's high sttvd ng at the bar.” one of the leading lawyers for the prosecution remarked to me the other day. 'and although he Is a foreigner, we sin cerely respect him as an opponent.” A foreigner? “He lives at Knoxrtlle. tTenn.i ” explained the Gastonian. This may sound odd. but it seems to me that it accounts for a lot of the violence cf Gastonia's feeling against the 15 capitally-accused communists, and the additional eight jvho are charged with only a little less serious offenses. • • • However, the communists had no choice but to hire a few “fore- j ■gn' legal advisers—because thej prosecution left only cne Gastonia j attorney unrestained to help the county solicitor, as the prosecutor is called in North SCarohna. This one the defense did engage —R. L Sigmon by name. One was not enough, by any means. The prosecution has a dozen. To be sure, the communists had Lawyer Tom P. Jimison. but Jimi son's home is in Charlotte; not Gastonia. An odd character, orig inally he was a Methodist ministir, but abandoned the pulpit for the bar and became very radical, ac-, cording to Gastonians— through it1 is unnecessary to be an cspeciallv deep “red" in order to look that i i JDr -JOHN RANDOLPH NEAJ color against the Gastonian back ground. • • • Joined by Attorneys Joseph Brod sky and Leon Josephson. of New York, who have been identified with various northern communist casei Sigmon.

Gastonia's supply being exhaust ed. a ••foreigner" was unavoidable and Dr. Neal was picked because of. his connection with the Scopes case and able services rendered by him to the Elizabcthton iTenn.) rayon strikers recently.

Nevertheless, the number of law years, with practices of a pureiv private character, who are aiding County Solicitor John G. Carpen ter is surprising.

Effort Made To Save ‘Fool Hen* NEWPORT. Wash. Aug 8.—— Since the "fool hen" won’t make ! any effort to save herself from ex- ; tinetion. game conservationists here are trying to do it for her through I the use of hot water bottles and i setting hens. The “fool hen.** a bird of the pheasant variety, sits calmly on her nest when danger approaches and faces shooting or devouring with out making any effort to escape. The game commission, by offer ing a reward for eggs, has secured a supply brought here carefully wrapped in cotton wool and warmed with hot water bottles. These have been placed under set ting hens in the hope that enough can be hatched to prevent com plete extermination of the species due to the virtual suicidal pen chant of the fowl.

WAR AVERTED BY AIR FORCE British Planes Save Far East Crisis During Insurrection SHREWSBURY. England, Aug. 8.—(flb—How ' ghting-planes fought as angels of peace in a recent fa. - eastern crisis was described In an address here by Sir Francis Hum phreys. former British minister at Kabul. Prompt arriv: of planes from Bagdad and Egyptian outposts of the British empire during the siege of Kabul by Afg) an insurrection ists "probably ■ -••ed Fngland from another war." Sir Francis said. "When all means of communica tion by land were hoplessly cut off." he explained, "airplanes flew to our rescue from Bagdad and even from Egypt, covering as much as 1.100 miles in a single day. "More than '0 Journeys were made and 35.001 . lies flown, with a loss of two machines; and 600 British subjects and fnrriene-3 were conveyed to safety without a single casualty. "There was one exciting incident King Amanullah. besieged with e garrison of 5.000. was given a 24 hour ultimatum to surrender to an attacking force of 16.000 ‘ We had no soldiers and no means of enforcing authority, ex cept with our tongues. The air drome was situated bet -pen the two armies, only 400 yards from each other, and is raked with a de vastating cross fire. We had tc take | the risk and telegraphed for air planes. When th* machines arrived in sight we gave the signal to both armies to cease fire. “Fortunately for us they obeyed the signal. Th; airplanes landed in silence, and the king and his ladies, escorted by unarmed Eng lishman from the legation, went tc the waiting machines anu were flown safely to India. “There is to doubt whatever that the royal air force on this occasion not only saved the city and foreign legations from a terrible fate, but probaly saved England from an other war.'* NEW FOOD TRENDS DEMAND ATTENTION DETROIT.
