Hoover Offers Contrast
To Late President Taft
In Reactions To Defeat
By CHARLES I*. STEWART
Washington, Nov. 24.--President
Hoover is what can perhaps beat be
described as a stolid loser.
President Taft met defeat with a
sportsmanship that gave the effect at
least (whatever his innermost tho
ughts may have been) of taking all
the sting out of it. If he could have
entered upon his second campaign
with the same degree of popularity
that he quickly regained by his grace
ful acceptance of thi verdict against
him. it is quite among the possibilities
that he would not have been beaten.

There is none of the Taftian non
chalance about President Hoover.
However, the Californian is not a
poor loser, either.
He offers no alibis. Nothing is more
certain than that, according to his
lights, he has given to the country,
during his trm in the White House
the best there was in him,. and that
he considers the American peopie ut
tc-rly unappreciative of an effort but
for wich, in his honest opinion, they

Tulsa. Okla., Nov. 24 iAP> The
wife of Charles (Pretty Boy) Floyd
was removed mysteriously from a
Tulsa hospital last night, leading of.
ficers to the Boley bank rob
bery in which the outlaw's lieuten
ant, George Birdwell, was slain, may
have been planned to divert attention
from Floyds presence here.
Attendants at Momlngside hospital
said today that "somqone came for
Mrs. Floyd last night in a car." They
declined to discuss the incident fur
ther.
The wife of the elusive gunman,
who had slipped through many an
Oklahoma man hunt in the last two
years, was operated upon for appen
dicitis at the hospital.
Investigators advanced the theory
that Birdwell headed the abortive raid
on the Farmers and Merchants State
Bank of Boley yesterday in order to
lead pursuers on a false chaae for hfs
chief, hunted for many previous bank
robberies, while Floyd himself super,

HOOVER COMMISSION IDEA
FAVORED ON BY LEADERS
Washington, Nov. 24.- <AP> Iro
spite President Hoover's advocacy of
creating an agency to re-examine the
war debts, indications today were that
this government would do nothing,
leaving the next step in the troubled
situation to its foreign debtors.
Not only did Mr. Hoover's proposal
meet with strong and apparently con
clusive opposition by congressional
leaders, but this opposition was back
ed up by a statement from President
elect Roosevelt that he believed exist
ing diplomatic channels were ade
quate to hear new pleas from Eu
rope.
Such an expression from the head
of the Incoming national adminio
i ration, even though not intended ad
dictation to Congress, was interpret
ed here as effectively closing the
door for the present to an American
initiated wholesale review of the sll,-
000.000.000 obligation to this country.
While this situation was developing.
Secretary Sttmson handed to the Bri
tish, French and Belgian -ambassadors
the formal replies of this government
denying their requests for an exten
sion of the moratorium.
His auction followed President Hoov
er's ieriigthy statement Issued yestei
day afternoon, which said "no fact n
have, been presented by the debter
governments which would justify po t
ponement of the December 15 pay
ments of nearly $125,000,000.’*
