HOOVER GAINS POWER FROM DIVIDED FOES Failure of Opposition to . Agree Gives Secretary \ Added Strength. FARM FACTION BUSY Little Sign of East-West Combine That Might Prove Dangerous. ( BY JOHN M. GLEISSNER, Scripps-Howard Staff Correspondent KANSAS CITY, June 9.—Herbert Hoover’s position remains unweakened under the concerted attack of the farm belt allies. The organization formed by the jLowden-Watson-Goff-Curtis groups is exceedingly active. Meetings and conferences are held constantly. Statements are issued, and there are predictions of success and threats of party disaster. When all is said and done, however, it is impossible to see where the probable outcome of the convention has been changed in any ■way, or how it can be changed. Allies Divided There are no evidences of a coalition between the eastern and western anti-Hoover factions which might bring into being a really formidable organization. Charles D. Hilles, New York national committeeman, told friends today he has not abandoned his intention of seeking the nomination of President Coolidge in the absence of anew and specific declaration from the President. According to Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, a Lowden leader, there has been nothing done toward uniting the two opposition camps. The differences between them apparently cannot be bridged. The weaknesses of the allied organization are numerous and many of their efforts are at crosspurposes. They have not agreed on a candidate to whom their strength will be thrown If they succeed in stopping Hoover.- and this absence of a definite objective is a handicap. The farm organization leaders are open in their criticism of Coolidge. Lowden. and Watson spokesmen insist they are not anti-administra-tion, and that the allies are not concerned in the farm protest. Curtis Keeps Out There are evidence that Senator Curtis is not in full sympathy with the allied cause. He has remained away from Kansas City, and has opened no headquarters. Albert Newman, one of the Curtis managers, sits# in at meetings, the attitude of Curtis is seen as strategy to keep from antagonizing either Hoover or the Administration. Curtis is said to have had a hand in the preparation of a compromise farm plank which will not give offense to the Administration. George N. Peek of Illinois, Mark Wood of Nebraska, Governor Adam McMullen of Nebraska, and other farm organization men are going ahead with their plans for a huge gathering of farmers as a demonstration for the convention. “We will have a hundred thousand farmers here when the convention opens,” said Woods. Peek is outspokenly critical of Coolidge, saying that the President has shown he is unwilling that the benefits of the tariff shall be applied to agriculture. Hoover Aids Confident Peek, McMullen and Watson are collaborating for the farm protest committee on one of the several farm plans to be presented. Meantime Senator Smoot and other conservative party leaders are going ahead with their draft of the platform. It- is not considered remotely possible that the convention wifi do otherwise than stand on the admin: .tration’s record which would be necessary if Peek had his way. Albert H. Vestal of Indiana and others have been designated to carry before the credentials committee contents over the delegates from Southern States voted to Hoover by the national committee. If the decisions of the national committee are altered on the convention floor, it will be one of the few instances in history where this has been done. George Akerson, Hoover’s confidential assistant, who arrived here Friday, is confident and undisturbed by the activities of Hoover’s opponents. So is James W. Good, Hoover manager here. 16 STUDENTS ACCUSED Charged With Illegal Primary Voting at Valparaiso.

Bu United Press FOUR sons of former Presidents will be here for the Republi6an national convention next week Three of them are delegates. Webster C. Hayes, son of Rutherford B. Hayes; Robert Taft, son of William Howard Taft, and Theodore Roosevelt Jr., are the delegates. James R. Garfield, son of James A. Garfield, Is not a delegate, but will be here for the convention. Kansas City will have the opportunity of hearing only one presidential candidate present his political views in a public gathering. He will be Will Rogers, nominated by the magazine Life as a candidate. His platform, he claims, will promise ‘at least 20 per cent more than any other candidate” and “declare against cold storage chickens being served at banquets.” President Coolidge will be “drafted” only in case of a hopeless deadlock, In the opinion of Representative Will H. Wood of Indiana, who will noimnate Senator James E. Watson. Traveling men, who long have been accustomed to stopping at their favorite hotels, are complaining that they are unable to find accommodations because they failed to make reservations ahead in anticipation of the convention visitors, hotel managers reported. Believing that bands are the greatest developers of political atmosphere, Conrad H. Mann, chairman of the local arrangements committee, has engaged them to play in dozens of public places during the convention. The Firestone brothers’ famous polo team will participate in a tournament which has been arranged for the entertainment of the Republican visitors. The team is composed of four sons of Harvey S. Firestone, rubber manufacturer. Will Rogers, humorist and former mayor of Beverly Hills, Calif., will lead his Pacific Coast team against the Wakonda quartet of Des Moines today in the first battle of the tournament. The weakness of the anti-Hoover drive so far has been its inability to united in the interests of any one candidate. Partisans of Hoover s opponents are told that Hoover is impossible, but are not advised as to the identity of the man they should support, Mark Wood, Lincoln, Neb„ banker and farmer, said today, that there was a real farm revolt and that 100,000 farmers would attend the convention to demand a farm relief plank in the Republican platform. Women of sixteen States have arrived to place the demands of the women's national law enforcement committee for a dry plank in the Republican platform, before the convention.

MAYOR TANGLE LEFT TIED UP BYHIGHCOURT Adjourns for Week With No Action on Slack’s Right to Office. OTHER APPEALS WAITING Shumaker and Steve XBases Still Are Hanging Fire Before Tribunal. Whether L. Ert Slack is legally mayor must, continue uncertain at least until a week from next Tuesday, perhaps longer. The State Supreme Court adjourned Friday without having acted upon J. L. Hogue's appeal. Hogue seeks to unseat Slack and seat himself. The court will hold no sessions next week. It will begin its last two-week session of this term a week from Tuesday. After that, the court, according to custom, will adjourn until Oct. 1. If no action on the Hogue case is taken during the last session, the court can call a vacation session as it did last August when E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of the AntiSaloon League, was sen’meed for contempt. Steve, Shumaker Up The Shumaker case and the D. C. Stephenson murder case appeal also might be decided in the closing days of the term. Although under sentence, Shumaker has been free for almost a year. Even should the Supreme Court decide the Hogue suit in the next three weeks, the matter would not necessarily be settled there. If the court found for Hogue, the case would be remanded to Circuit Court for trial. Either party might find error in the new trial and appeal to Supeme Court again. Contest Slack’s Seat Slack becEpne mayor Nov. 8, 1927. Hogue and Ira M. Holmes, heir of the mantle of John M. Duvall, deposed mayor, immediately contested Slack’s claim, which arose through | his having been elected by city! council. Holmes’ claim was ended by an adverse decision in Appel*ate Court. Hogue’s claim got into Supreme Court Dec. 8, 1927, Final briefs were filed April 4. Stephenson's case first went to Supreme Court Oct. 27, 1926. Final oral arguments were held April 30, this year. Shumaker’s case first got to Supreme Court, March 10, 1926, when Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom charged Shumaker’s 1925 annual report was in contempt. Last August the court found Shumaker guilty and fined him $250 and sentenced him to sixty days on Indiana State Farm. No Move on Dry Chief While he was preparing to take this to a higher court it was disclosed that Shumaker had had conversations with United States Senators James E. Watson and Arthui R. Robinson, which were interpreted by the attorney general as being efforts to get them to try to Influence the Supreme Court and therefore in further contempt. Glfflom asked that Shumaker’s sentence be increased. A hearing was held. last fall and the case was fully briefed Dec. 14 1927. There has been no move in the case since then. ROUTS GAS THIEVES Trio Draining Tank of Auto Flee at Shout. D. C. Shaw, Apt. E, 3419 N. Pennsylvania St., was awakened at 1 a. m. today by sounds of men at an automobile parked in front.

son was given, but it was understood the home office was using the lish statute which permits deporting persons who have been convicted of a crime. Thaw was forced to remain aboard the Aquitania, but he sent representatives to the American embassy to have the British order rescinded. It was said that Thaw’s representative had obtained a French visa for him and It had been considered likely Thaw would go to Paris instead of London.

Hope for Life Ray of Optimism Lights Way for Radium Poison Victims.

By United pt~ess ORANGE, N, J., June 9 Dr. S. A. Vonsochocky, physician and chemist, who is a victim of radium poisoning, held hope today to the five women whom physicians have said would be dead within two years of a malady contracted in the plant of the United States Radium corporation. “Their systems gradually are eliminating the poison,’’ he said, “and since they have survived the attacks of much larger amounts of the radioactive substance, It is reasonable to suppose they will live for several years.” Vonsochocky, who has lost several teeth because of the poisoning, was infected through the pores of his skin while (experimenting with paint in the radium corporation’s plant.

DROP QUIZ OF ‘PREJUDICE’ IN PANEL Resume Efforts to Draft Jury After Probe of Charges. OPINION WAS PERSONAL Had Not Talked to Others, Excused Talesman Testifies. An inquiry into whether talesmc.. for the Earl Klinck trial jury were unduly prejudiced against the defendant was terminated in Criminal Court today almost as suddenly as it was ordered Friday evening. Efforts to get a jftry to try Klinck on a charge of being an accessory to the illegal use of a notary’s seai v ere resumed after' Special Judge Thomas E. Garvin and attorneys for State and defense had questioned E. J. Schneiders, combustion engineer, 2336 N. Illinois St., who had been excused from the jury list late Friday. His “Own Opinion” Just before Schneiders finally was dismissed Friday he remarked that he was* prejudiced against Klinck because of his record and tjiat he believed every prospective juror felt about the same way. He remarked that it looked like “Klinck is in for a trimming.” Defense attorneys at once requested an inquiry and Judge Garvin subpoenaed Schneiders to appear this morning. Teh court has instructed the talesmen not to talk about the case to outsiders or among themselves. On the witness stand this morning Schneiders explained that his statements of Friday were purely his own honest opinion based upon observation, that he had not talked J with the talesmen about the case and had not heard any of them talking with others. Forgery Charged The court excused him without prejudice. The State charges that Klinck figured in the procurring of a forged affidavit ,to the effect that William Rogers, former Klan organizer, was paid by Editors Boyd Gurley of The Indianapolis Times and Thomas H.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, June 9.—We are gratified to know that with the exception of a few highly speculative issues the rest of the market has declined in a very orderly fashion, which has permitted traders to select levels at which they wish to dispose of their holdings. At the same time we would like to impress upon those who labor under the impression that orderliness of decline is an indication of improved market position that the truth of the matter is the market is in more vulnerable position than ever for whatever liquidation has appeared during the week was of voluntary character only. The point we wish to bring out is that as liquidation continues and prices recede, many who are still watching their profits disappear will be convinced that they are on the wrong side and begin selling. This will add momentum, to the decline so in view of these obvious conditions we are firmly convinced that those who liquidate at current levels will be thoroughly satisfied with their good judgment.

TRAIL-BLAZING FLIERS LAND IN AUSTRALIA Brisbane, Wild With Joy, Welcomes KingsfordSfnith and His Aids. BLOWN OFF OF COURSE Worst Storm Encountered in Trip Buffets Machine Before Goal Is Reached. BY CLARK IRVINE United Pres* Staff Correspondent BRISBANE, Australia, Jund o. Wild with joy at his safe return, Brisbane welcomed Capt. Charles Kingsford-Smith bac kto his native land today. The triumphal America-to-Aus-tralia flight—the longest ever attempted over the sea—was ended, and the Australian ace and his three comrades were idolized as national heroes. The big monoplane Southern Cross glided to earth heer at 10:15 a. m. (9:15 p. m., Friday, Indianapolis time). Stepping from the cabin Captain Kingsford-Smith. Capt ,C. T. P. Ulm, Harry Lyon, navigator, and James Warner, radio operator, were surrounded by thousands of cheering Australians and borne from Brisbane airdrome on the shoulders of their admirers. The trip, which was made from Suva, Fiji Islands, in 21 hours and 20 mir.utes, was the third leg of their trail-blazing voyage over the Pacific. It was 1,795 miles long. New Era in Aviation “Your flight marks anew era In the history of aviation,” Sir John Goodwin, Governor of Queensland, said in greeting the two Australians and two Americans. "Your achievement will go down in history for 'all time because of the courage, skill and endurance it, required." Colonel Brinsmead. director of civil aviation, one of the first to greet the fliers, said their achievement had “shown the real closeness of Australia and America by bringing the two nations nearer geographically and uniting them in an undertaking of great valor.” It was pointed out that the flight from Oakland airport to Brisbane, including the two stopse at Honolulu and Suva, had taken only eight days. Twenty days are required by th’ fastest ocean liners. Blown Off Their Course Only one more flight, a 500-mile jump to Sydney, must be made before the journey official!/ is ended. Sydney is the home of both Kingsford-Smith and Ulm. Gingsford-Smith said Lyon could not be Warned for the ship going off its course before it reached Australia. “We were blown 100 south of our route by the storm, which was the worst we had encountered,” he said. “The ignition switch and carburetor were water soaked and the radio was fading. It was a most hazardous situation. “I hesitated to throttle down because I knew if we faltered it might necessitate a dive and we would have dived deep if we had not flattened out.” i’ahkees Are Honored When the plane landed Lyon and Warner jumped out and tried to escape. They almost succeeded, for 'both were dressed in civilian clothes. Lyon was bareheaded and Warner wore a straw hat. “Where are the Yanks?” the crowd demanded. The two Australians sought them out and dragged them back. Lyon and Warner remonstrated. “It is a welcome for Australians,** they said. “We don’t want to intrude.” But they were forced back to the plane and raised upon the shoulders of the assembled crowd. The navigator and radio operator will not be in the plane when it leaves for Sydney Saturday. They will remain here three days, then go to Sydney and board a vessel for the United States. Radio Works Constantly The ariva! of the aviators marked the completion of 7,351 miles of sea flying since they left Oakland airport. It took 83 hours and 21 minutes to negotiate the distance. Throughout the long hours they were in the air their plane kept fn constant touch with radio stations on land and sea. That po.nted to by aviation experts all over the world as demonstrating the invaluable aid of communication in ocean flying. A second outstanding phase of the Southern Cross’s flight was its demonstration of safety in using three motors instead of one. At no time > did the crew’s confidence in the big! silver-winged ship waver. f $ Faces Life Term Twice Rjl Time* Special VALPARAISO, Ind., June 9.—For the second time in six months, James Takacs, faces a life term in the Indiana State Prison for the murder of Albert Oreska, his partner in liquor dealing.
