SMITH TO POLL 5 HEAVY VOTE IN PENNSYLVANIA -formal G. 0. P, Majority to v Be Cut Greatly in Keystone State. Here Is the first of a series of articles ■* by editors of Scripps-Howard news- * papers in various sections of the country analyzing the political situation in 7 their territores. Others will follow. BY JOHN Y. CHIDE STER ■> Editor, The Pittsburgh Press 7 PITTSBURGH, Oct. s.—Pennsyl- / vania will rot depart, this year, * from its custom of giving a plurality 7to Republican presidential candi- ' dates. However, Hoover will not / have as big lead as Harding and Coolidge. That is the judgment both Re--7 publican and Democratic leaders express privately. There are too /, many cross currents, notably re--7 ligion, to warrant any more definite , forecast. ; Coolidge’s plurality in 1924 was 992,289. Harding had a lead in the /. State of 714,373 in 1920. Smith Will Gain There is no question that Govc ’ crnor Smith will receive a bigger 7 vote in Pennsylvania than any previous Democratic candidate. There - is every indication, however, that 7. the total vote of the State will ex- *'• ceed any before record. Moroeve *, the signs are many that Hoover 7. will profit largely from the in- * creased vote. , Registration in large cities is par--7 ticularly heavy in the residential * wards and in all sections containing 7 a large proportion of independently * inclined voters. In both Philadelphia and Pitts--7 burgh the registration has beer. ' unprecedented among elements of , the population, and in sections 7 where the machines of the twc - cities have encountered their stif/fest opposition in local campaigns. V Checkups leave no doubt that *; there is a strong lineup for Hoover 7 in the class of voters described. Wets Strong for A1 7 In Pittsburgh most of the Smith .talk is in exceedingly "wet” wards, which ordinarily are Republican organization strongholds. The results in both of the big cities at the coming election are likely to be the reverse of what ordinarily ‘happens. The big Hoover ‘ vote is coming from the people who 7 ordinarily fight the machines or, because of disgust with local politics, ■ frequently refrain from voting. 7 The centers of the Smith strength " in the State will be in the larger cities, becaues of the prohiibtion issue. It is generally believed, too, that he will make a big showing ‘ generally in the anthracite region. Women voters are going to have much to do with the rendering of Pennsylvania’s verdict. They are registering in far greater numbers. Both Republican and Democratic leaders, for the most part, concede that Hoover is specially strong -among the women voters. V Many Women Register In some Pittsburgh districts more ’ women than men have registered to - date. In these same districts, in normal registrations, the men outnumber the women two or three to ' one. '• Republican leaders say that one -’of the most interesting developments in the campaign is the num- * ber of women volunteering to do * campaign worx for Hoover, who .heretofore have not been taking * active part in politics. 7 Chicagoan Addresses Ad Club *, Advertising and the business of /selling are inseparable, said O. J. {McClure, of Chicago, author of the McClure method of salesmanship, 7 before Indianapolis Advertising Club members at the Columbia Club /Thursday noon. Advertising cannot > be separated from selling, for the -.two go hand in hand to produce ’ results, he said.

PARISIANS BUZZ OVER RUMOR OF PRINCESS AMOUR Link Nicholas of Rumania and Society Girl in Elopement. Bu United Press PARIS, Oct. s.—Paris ignored official denials from Bucharest today and speculated wildly on the latest topic of royal gossip—whether Prince Nicholas of Rumania is following in the footsteps of his notorious brother, Prince Carol. Nicholas has been in Paris incognito for a month and persistent reports are that he eloped with a beautiful Rumanian society womai and has refused to return to Bucharest, where he is a member of the regency and one of three guardians of the boy king, Michael. Outwardly, at lead, the prince has led the life of a bachelor here. But last Wednesday night he appeared with a tall, patrician blonde The next night he appeared again and with tha same lovely woman at his side. Sees Little of Carol The United Press learned that the prince was joined recently by a woman said to be a society leader in Bucharest. Prince Nicholas is staying at a hotel near the home of Prince Carol and Madam Lepescu, but he sees very little of his brother. Both Prince Carol and Nicholas have engaged handsome black automobiles with two footmen, but they are engrossed in entirely separate lives and their relations are rather formal and meager. Speculation tonight —and there was plenty of it along sensational lines—centered on whether Prince Nicholas had fled Bucharest because he was disgusted with conditions there or whether he had simply “lost his head” over a woman. Plead for Return It was said the prince’s disappearance had been known for some time, but that it had been kept secret because of fear of disorder because of his responsible position at Bucharest. The government officials and Queen Marie, it was said, had sent special couriers and messages to Nicholas pleading with him to return. Dispatches from Bucharest, however, said the reports were false and that Nicholas was expected to return there Saturday. Prince Carol was exiled and the crown given to his son, King Michael, after the errant prince had run away with Madame Lepescu, a Jewess and wife of a Rumanian army officer. Princess Helene of Greece, Carol’s wife, recently was granted a divorce. Claim pance Record Bj/ Times Special NEWCASTLE. Ind., Oct. 5. Claiming anew Indiana record in marathon dancing.

Neglected Grave Holds First City Child’s Mother

Tombstone of Mrs. Jane Corbaly, mother of the first child bom in Marion County, found in Clermont cemetery. The inscription reads: “Jane, wife of Jeremiah J. Corbaly. Born Dec. 24, 1798. Died April 7, 1869. Tne first mother in Marion County.”

Forgotten Settlement Is Recalled by Markers in Old Cemetery. BY HELEN MAHIN In an old graveyard southeast of Claremont sleeps the mother of the first white child born in Indianapolis. The tombstone is broken and long has lain flat, but the lettering still is distinct. Under a clump of lilacs 100 feet north of the Indiana University Medical School lies the oldest cemetery in Indianapolis; the stones are gone, but the markers, with the names obliterated, still may be found if the searcher will clear away the drift of time. When a site for the medical school was sought in 1913, two members of the committee looking over the ground near the city hospital came upon streets named Barnhill, Wilson and Maxwell. They wondered about the names. It happened that the committee members were: Dr. John F. Barnhill and Dr. Allison Maxwell, and they knew a good deal about a Wilson family of Indianapolis, one of whom was a brother-in-law of James Whitcomb Riley; but they knew little about the desolate tract lying about the city hospital. Dr. Barnhill began a research that lasted over several years and brought from the forgotten past the story of a lost settlement, the second earliest of Indianapolis. Robert Barnhill, the great-great-grandfather of Dr. Barnhill, came to Marion County from North Carolina by way of Kentucky in 1820, about six months after George Pogue arrived, and came to a halt a little farther south. Barnhill located on the exact spot where tht Riley Hospital now stands, and in the same year was joined by twentyfive families.

In the fall of 1821 an epidemic probably typhoid, swept through these people. Many of them died; among them the first Barnhill, some of the Maxwells and some of the Wilsons. They were buried in the little cemetery. A daughter of Robert Barnhill married a man named Corbaly, and in a log cabin where the hospital now stands, a little son, the first white child of Marion county, was born. The descendants still are here. The Wilson home, the oldest building in Indianapolis, until two years ago stood two blocks east of Riley Hospital. Then it was razed; but still the dead of that old day sleep under the lilacs, and their names are written in Barnhill and Maxwell and Wilson Sts. HOLD PARISH MEETING 300 Attend Parley at Episcopal Church of Advent. Stressing the prominent part which the church plays in determining character development in children, the Rev. George S. Southworth, rector of the Episcopal Church of the Advent, spoke to parishioners in the Calvin Prather Masonic Hall Thursday night. Other speakers were: George C. Benham. financial secretary of the Ohio Episcopal diocese; J 5. S. Pearce, chairman of the financial committee of vestrymen, and the Rev. William Burrows, dean of the Indianapolis diocese. Dinner was served by the Women’s Guild. About 300 persons were present. Convicted of Killing Druggist By United Press OMAHA, Neb., Oct s.—Morris Swartz, Philadelphia, alleged drug addict, was found guilty here of the first degree murder of Roy L. Tinkham, Omaha druggist. Tinkham was killed during the robbery of his store.
