HOOVER HOLDS FIRM IN STAND ON Ilf ISSUE Will Further Amplify Views on ‘Grave Abuses’ in October Speech. NOTHING TO ADD NOW Proposes Probe of Weak Spots in Enforcement to Find Remedy. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent PALO ALTO, Cal., Aug. 13. Herbert Hoover will make a speech In the East in October, further amplifying his views on the prohibition issue, but until then he will *tand on his unconditional indorsement of the Eighteenth amendment and its enforcement laws, the United Press learned today on indisputable authority. The Republican presidential nominee now has nothing to add to the remarks made in his speech of acceptance, when he announced that, if elected President, he would institute a searching investigation of what he called “grave abuses” in regard to prohibition. The confidential advice which newspaper men received from a close friend of the nominee, who said Hoover was “not wedded to the Volstead act,” cannot be construed as any weakening in the stern dry stand of the candidate. Always a Dry The friends’ words were meant to convey only the idea that Hoover does not intend to fight for election in November over Governor Alfred E. Smith, solely or even particularly on the prohibition issue. Hoover always has been regarded as a dry. In a letter answering the Senator Borah questionaire last spring, he indorsed the dry amendment and took a stand for efficient enforcement of the laws enacted thereunder. He went much farther* in his acceptance speech Saturday and, taking issue with Smith, he said any enforcement modification- which would permit that which the constitution forbidts is nullification, and as such will not be countenanced by the people. In the eastern speech Hoover will explain that his proposed investigation would be conducted by a carefully selected commission representing every phase of the issue. College professors, sociological experts, women, church laders, business men, we.s and enforcement, authorities should be represented on the commission, he believes. Aims Solely at Abuses If the commission should hold the Volstead act is unworkable Hoover would stand by the commission, according to highest authority here. The .candidate does not, however, intend to appoint the commission with that idea in view. The investigation will be directed solely to the correction of abuses and betterments of encouragement conditions. Hoover did not mean to be ambiguous in his speech or to leave the dcor open for any interpretation that he would stand for light wines or beers in the light of the existing situation. He directed his remarks on the subject solely to the thought of soundly indorsing prohibition. Goes East Thursday Many telegrams of congratulation from Republican leaders poured into the nominee’s campus home today. They commended especially his dry stand. Thomas B. Love, Texas Democrat who came out for Hoover, wired: L'T shall vote for you in November and only blunders can prevent you Texas, whose voice you nave uttered.” Senator Charles Curtis, Republican vice presidential candidate said: “I congratulate you on your speech of acceptance. Best wishes.” Another was from E. S. Kinsley, national committeeman from Vermont: “You have denied the right of those seeking to destroy the Constitution by nullification.” Senator James E. Watson of Indiana: “I,.heartily congratulate you upon tnis lucid declaration of your personal views and of party purposes.” Alexander Moore, ambassador to Peru: “Congratulations on masterful speech. If I can help, command me.” The itinerary of Hoover’s journey back to Washington was announced today. He will leave here at 10 p. m. Thursday night for Los Anr’geles. He will leave Los Angeles Friday night and go to Kansas City. From there he will proceed immediately to his birthplace at West Branch, lowa. AUTO THEFT.

Shoots Up Speakeasy in Gotham, a La Old West By United Prats NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—Out in Montana years ago the big weekend sport was to become festive in the bar rooms and start somewhat undignified dances to the accompaniment of pistol shots. Martin Gentner, a mild-mannered man, lived there in those days. Sunday he went into his favorit’e speakeasy in New York. He had a pistol. The six customers and the bar tender didn't know the Montana custom, but they danced anyhow. Then Gentner tired of the dance and started putting Western decorations in the bar room—bullet holes in the walls. About that time atrolman Peter Donohue entered. His big police pistol was strapped at his side. “Oh, you’ve got one, too,” Gentner said when he saw Donohue’s pistol. "Come on. Let’s have some fun. I’ve shot up that front room, but this one’s all right for shooting.” And then as an afterthought and eyeing Dcnhue’s ammunition belt, he sighed and said: “I’m all out of bullets." Gentner spent the night in jail. Incidentally, the customers and bar tender who learned to dance the Western way went to jail, too, because police found a lot of liquor in the speakeasy.

Cruiser Arkansas advised late Sunday night that she had gone through the new hurricane off Guantanamo Bay and that the wind at that time had reached seventy-three miles an hour. The weather bureau at Miami said the disturbance would increase in intensity until it hits land. Its present direction, if adhered to, would send it well west of Florida, up the Gulf of Mexico. Warnings advised that the hurricane might char acteristically swerve in any direction. A turn eastward would catapult the great storm on the Florida coastline.

PULPIT DEBATE WITH AL OFF Straton Refuses to Meet Smith in Church. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—Chances of a debate between Governor Smith and Dr. John Roach Straton on Straton s charges that Smith was “the deadliest foe to the forces of moral progress in the country” appeared more remote today after the minister’s refusal to share his pulpit with the Democratic presidential candidate. Dr. Straton made his charges in a sermon at Calvary Baptist Church, and in challenging the pastor to debate, Governor Smith requested the debate be held in the church. Sunday Dr. Straton said he would not have such a debate in the church. Such a debate would “leave us in a false position before the world and would cause distress to many minds and hearts both in Protestant and Catholic folds,” Dr. Straton said. The pastor had preferred that the debate be in Madison Square Garden or some large hall and in his first acceptance had said that Calvary Baptist Church was not large enough to accommodate all of the people that would desire to attend. Tentative arrangements had been made for a radio broadcast of the argument. COQUDGE GIVES 0, K, Lanphier Resignation From Army Accepted.

Philip Smith Will Plead Self-Defense in Death of Terrence King. BALKS AT STATEMENT Prisoner Has Been in City Since Search Started, Says Lawyer. Admission that he fired the shot which killed Terrence King, 27, rum runner, at the Sreen ALill barbecue early last Thursday, was drawn from Philip H. Smith, alleged bootlegger, who gave himself up to police this morning, detectives announced this afternoon. Smith, however, stolidly contended that he fired in self-defense, believing that King was about to shoot him. This indicated that Smith would base his defensse on the first degree murder charge on self-defense. The surrender was through his attorney, James E. Deery. Smith gave his age as 29 and his address as 1814 W. New York St., when he was slated on a murder charge. According to Attorney Deery, Smith will plead not guilty to the charge of police that he shot King in a quarrel over King’s attentions to Smith’s girl at a drinking party at the Green Mill early Thursday. Won’t Talk to Reporters Smith refused to talk to reporters. He handed police this signed statement when he surrendered: "I have been informed that there is a warrant for my arrest. I therefore voluntarily am submitting to arrest. I desire to state that I do not want to make any statement or answer any questions of any kind whatsoever. “I stand on my constitutional rights under such circumstances. James E. Deery is my attorney. If at any time any questions are asked me, before answering them I insist that he be present to advise me.” Smith has been in town all the while police have been seeking him, his attorney said. Asked Legal Advice Police Chief Claude M. Worley declared that information he had received which would have resulted in Smith’s’ capture in a short time led to the surrender. Deery declared that Smith had intended to give himself up all the time, but didn’t know how to go about It and wanted legal advice first. Smith first got In touch with him Sunday night and he advised him to surrender, Deery said. Deery refused to indicate what Smith’s defense would be. Deery phoned the detective department this morning and told them Smith was ready to surrender. He and Smith met Detectives John White and Dennis Houlihan at a downtown comer and went with them to headquarters. Houlihan and White began questioning Smith as soon as he had been photographed and Bertillon record taken. Will Be Arraigned Today He was to be arraigned in Municipal Court this afternoon and waive preliminary hearing. Then he will be taken to county jail to be held until brought to trial. Deery declared the defense will be ready for trial as soon as Criminal Court sessions open in September. Deputy Prosecutor Vinson H.
