WILLYS JOINS REPEAL FORCES Nation Going to Ruin, Says Motor Magnate. A// United Press NEW YORK, June 14.—John N. Willys, motor car manufacturer and retiring ambassador to Poland, an abstainer, has declared himself “for absolute repeal of the eighteenth amendment.” Willys, who returned Monday from Warsaw, said he had read the full statement of John D. Rockefeller Jr., who declared for repeal of the eighteenth amendment, and that he thought Rockefeller was “100 per cent correct.” “You mark my words,” Willys said, "this country will go to wrack and ruin If It is not changed, and changed soon. The United States hasn't a Chinaman’s chance today if this liquor law is permitted to continue. “We are losing so much by taxes that we don’t collect, and we are spending so much money in trying to enforce a law that nobody will obey, that It is getting to be a let of money, even for so big and rich a nation as the United States. “I think that the people of each Individual state should be permitted to determine whether they want prohibition or not, and that the people of other states should not have a choice in the matter, except as it concerns them. In my opinion, it is a purely local matter and should be treated as such.” 2 ARRESTED, 4 HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENTS One Man Is Held on Charges of Speeding, Reckless Driving.

DECLARE OUTFLOW OF U. S. GOLD HAS ENDED Federal Reserve Men Say Halt Will Aid Dollar Abroad, By United Press WASHINGTON. June 14.—Federal reserve officials today told the United Press without reservation that the steady outflow of gold to Europe, which has been in progress since last September, is at an end. They said an increase in United States gold stocks should begin before fall. Gold imports are expected from France, and probably Switzerland and Holland. “Our improved financial rendition should end silly and ridiculous European talk about the vague possibility that the United States might abandon the gold standard.” one high official said. The halt in shipments cf gold to Europe is expected to strengthen the dollar abroad and indirectly bolster domestic bond and security prices.

JOHN D.’S CHICAGO TRIP IS MYSTERY

Bishop Prays for Guidance of Convention

CHICAGO, June 14. Opening prayer for the Republican national convention was offered today by the Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman, D. D., LL. D., bishop of Washington, D. C.. it follows: “Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, in whose hands are the issues of men and of nations, we bow in humble reverence before Thee, and with grateful hearts acknowledge Thy Manifold blessings to us as a people. Through all the changed and changing circumstances of life, Thou hast made and preserved us a nation. Where we have been obedient to Thy will, Thou has favored us. Where we have pursued our selfish aims, Thou hast justly punished us. “With chastened humility we confess our vaunted pride, our boasted security and our avowed self-dependence. In our conceit, we have trusted to our own strength and forgotten that Thou alone are the source of all peace and all-abiding happiness. In the time of our distress, we cry unto Thee. ‘God be merciful to us sinners.’ Give us freshened courage, renewed hope, a clearer vision of our duty to Thee and our fellow-men. Restore to us as a people, honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. “Save us from violence and lawlessness, discord and confusion. Imbue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among nations of the earth. “In the days of shadow', give us to see the way that shall lead us into paths of wholesome living. In all the plans and deliberations of this convention, do Thou guide us in the course that shall be for the highest good of all our people. ‘With renewed faith in Thee, we invoke Thy blessing upon our nation, and especially do we pray for those upon whose hearts and minds burdens have been laid too heavy to be done. M M 0 “Give us the mind and the will and the aid of Thy divine assistance. that these burdens may be removed. In Thy mercy, hasten the day of restored confidence, relieved anxiety, and just rewards of labor. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through Him who for our sakes became poor that we, through his poverty, might be made rich, Our Savior. Jesus Christ. Amen.” British Send Cruiser to Chile By United Press LONDON, June 14.—The admiralty announced today that the cruiser Durban was proceeding to Callao, Peru, to be ready in event it was needed for protection of British interests in Chile.

Wets and Drys Excited by Oil King’s Hurried Visit to Convention City. By United Press CHICAGO, June 14.—One of the world's richest men hid himself in Chicago Monday, and thereby became the center of prohibition speculation. John D. Rockefeller Jr. slipped into town Monday. His denunciation of prohibition startled the country a fortnight ago, and it was reported in the lobby gossip that the multimillionaire would join actively in the repeal fight. On Rockefeller’s trail there gathered men eager to question or to photograph him. Standard Oil publicity and law offices in New York and Chicago were besieged for information of Rockefeller's hideaway and his plans. The rich man could not be located. He did not choose to talk. Prominent wets disclaimed contact with Rockefeller, but the news leaked out he would be aboard the Lake Shore limited for New York at 6:30 p. m. He was there, but behind drawn blinds in a compartment guarded by Thomas M. DeBevorse, personal counsel. Desiring from some undisclosed reason to avoid publicity, Rockefeller availed himself of a powerful man’s privilege. He boarded his train in the railroad yards and never so much as a finger showed from his compartment so long as the train was in the station. Deßevorse denied Rockefeller came on prohibition matters. He said it was private business. There circulated in Chicago, in the meantime, a report, originating with New York political friends of Rockefeller that he was not the first convert to repeal in the famous family. John D. Rockefeller Sr., was said by the New Yorkers to have been converted to repeal two years ago, and to have pleaded since then with his son to join the repeal forces.

MIGHTY ORGAN TO THRILL DELEGATES

By United Press CHICAGO, June 14.—The biggest pipe organ in the world, with a full volume equal to twenty-five brass bands of 100 pieces each, pealed out such lilting tunes as “The Old Gray Mare” and “Reuben, Reuben, I Been Thinkin’ ” today as Al Melgard, organist, went through final rehearsals for the Republican convention at the stadium. “Her tones are clear as a bell and she can imitate anything from a Scotch bagpipe to a thunderstorm,” the six-foot, lanky young organist said. He sat down at the stops and put the mammottu musical apparatus through its pffces. It was a thrilling prelude to the musical antics of the week. “Suppose the California delegation has just come in,” suggested Melgard.

CABINET RULES PLATFORM JOB

White House Will Dictate Party Decisions. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, June 14.—Four members of President Hoover's cabinet today undertook the responsibility of bringing before the Republican national convention a platform which, from prohibition to farm relief, will be wholly acceptable to the man at the White House, President Hoover, who is awaiting the certain word that he has been chosen again. Cabinet domination of the convention resolutions (platform) committee is in marked contrast to previous convention circumstances when a powerful senate bloc gathered tremendous control in their own hands. Secretaries Mills, treasury; Hurley, war; Hyde, agriculture, and Doak, labor, will represent the White House in the secret councils of the resolutions committee. James Francis Burke, general counsel of the National committee, and James R. Garfield, Mr. Hoover’s hand picked resolutions committee chairman will share the burden of administration battle. Informal meetings of several designated committeemen began Monday with prohibition posing a difficult question. The platform is scheduled for presentation at 4 p. m. Wednesday. The platform makers are resigned to a sleepless night. The all-night vigil with its accumulating temper and bickering promises to furnish most of the scant excitement to be expected from the convention. MAP BOOTH WELCOME Mayor to Greet Salvation Army Leader Wednesday. * Making a motor tour of the middle west, Commander Evangeline Booth of the Salvation Army will make her first appearance in the state at Elkhart today.

Schortemeier, former secretary of state and a member of the advisory board, will present Commander Booth.

He played a few stanzas of “California, here I come.” Then, in rapid order, mentioning the following states, he played the following songs: Maine—“ The Stein Song.” New York—“ The Sidewalks of New York.” Wyoming—“ Pony Boy, Pony Boy.” lowa—“Out Where the Tall Corn Grows.” Virginia—“ The Trail of the Lonesome Pine.” Colorado—“ Colorado Moon.” “I’ve got a song for every state in the Union,” Melgard said. “And I have my music arranged so I can play anything I want to, the second I want to, without turning any pages.” It required twenty-four freight cars to transport material for the organ.

RESUBMISSION PLANK DRAWN FOR PLATFORM Draft, Virtually Complete, Is Given Approval of President. PENNSYLVANIA IN LINE Differences on Method of Action Still Are Vexing Leaders. BY RALPH TURNER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, June 14.—The administration cabinet group virtually completed today, with President Hoover’s approval, a platform plank advocating resubmission of the eighteenth amendment by congress. Pennsylvania, at the same time, joined the resubmission movement at a deletion caucus. The chief executive and the cabinet members drafting the plank for the platform committee, which begins sessions later today, are agreed on the resubmission proposal. There still is a difference of opinion, it was learned, whether the plank should suggest the method of resubmitting the amendment. President Hoover has been constantly in touch with Chicago. Try to Keep Dry Support Some of the leaders favored merely a declaration for resubmission, leaving to congress the method by which it should be done, and the President was represented as favoring this principle. It was supported by the moderate element as a means of keeping as much dry suppport as possible. Others advocated the plan suggested by the late Senator Dwight Morrow, New Jersey, which would permit individual states to remain dry and guarantee their protection by the federal government, and also provide for a federal government control plan in “wet states.” Regardless of whether the resubmission plan is defined in the plank, it will carry a strong commitment against the return of the saloon, as well as a declaration for enforcement of the law as long as it remains on the books. The Pennsylvania delegation voted today, 49 to, 15, for resubmission to state conventions and also adopted a resolution favoring a constitutional amendment wherehy the manufacture, sale, and transportation of intoxicating liquors would be regulated by the federal government. Action Is Challenged The action, however, was challenged and another meeting was called, as some claimed steam roller methods had been applied. Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley arrived here today to join with the administration forces in drafting the prohibition planks. He will sit on the patform committee as Oklahoma’s representative. “The Republican platform should contain no subterfuges,” Hurley said. “It should stand square on every question of policy confronting it.” The uncertainty over prohibition, manifest in secrecy surrounding all negotiations here, was revealed further today, when the Ohio delegation was induced to postpone action. Postponement was at the suggestion of James R. Garfield of Cleveland, who is to be chairman of the platform committee. Postmaster-General Walter Brown, participating in the prohibition conferences, sat in with the delegation today. The work of the plank writers was suspended today during the opening session of the convention, being resumed afterward. Wets May Turn to A1 Smith Nicholas Murray Butler, in a speech at the Coliseum where 15,000 people massed under the auspices of the wets, pleaded for frankness in dealing w'ith the issue. He asked that a definite repeal amendment be submitted and acted upon by the people. He pleaded that we “do not do anything to cloak it (repeal) under some false name and surround it with conditions, ifs and ands.” “Intelligent voters by the millions,” he said, “demand courage and performance.” Raymond Pitcairn, another wet speaker, declared significantly that the United Repeal Council, a wet organization, “could indorse an independent candidate.” “If both parties fail the people in this emergency,” he said, “we could and should indorse a strong leader of the people’s cause. I have in mind the name of such a leader, fearless, strong, a man of action—that man is Alfred E. Smith.” PLEADS FOR EDUCATION Education must not suffer from unintelligent budget slashing, George C. Cole, state superintendent of public instruction, told members of the Vocational Home Economics Association in annual convention at the Severin Monday. Increased enrollments, longer school year and progress made in educational methods have increased school costs, Cole pointed out.

This baffling, to say the least, method of numbering the floors proved Harley’s undoing. Taught since infancy (1) to wait thirty minutes after eating before swimming, (2) never to mix watermelon and spirituous liquors, (3) that sugar sprinkled with kerosene would break up a cold, and (4) that the eleventh floor of a hotel is higher than the second, Harley couldn’t get to first base in getting out of the Congress.

FRANCE CONFIDENT HE’LL BEAT HOOVER

Maryland Farmer-Banker Sees Own Nomination as Certain. BY RAY BLACK United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, June 14.—Dr. Joseph Irwin France, sole opponent of President Hoover for the Republican presidential nomination, blustered with confidence today, after giving himself a rousing pep talk. As the national convention opened, all the former senator from Maryland could see ahead was triumphant nomination and success at the polls. “The first time I ever was beaten at anything,” he said, “was when I was a freshman at Hamilton college in New York and was wrestling the sophomore champion. He threw me, not because he was the better rflan, but because I had stage fright. “I’ve no stage fright now, you can bet on it. I believe I’ll defeat Hoover at the convention as badly as I did in the popular vote—abqut ten to one.” Bandwagon to Break Down Dr. France paused in his stride, interrupting five minutes of pacing back and forth across the floor of his convention headquarters in the Congress hotel and five minutes of football coach style exhortation. He drew up his 200-pound, muscular frame to its slightly more than 6 feet and shook his fist. “There’ll be no Hoover bandwagon,” he cried. “We’ll tear its wheels off and start a bandwagon of our own, with red wheels and gilded angels on the sides.” His mood changed and he sat down and mused a moment. He made a striking he-man appearance. His hair is iron gray and sets off blue eyes and an even but mo-bile-featured face. He wore white slacks, white hose, brown and white oxfords, a white shirt and a blue bow tie. Banker and Farmer Dr. France —he also is Farmer France and Banker France, since he owns a stock farm near Port Deposit, Md., and is a director in a bank there—speaks in a pleasing, friendly voice, except when he talks about campaign issues or national problems. Then he booms and shakes his fist, or lowers his voice in evangelists manner. At such times his features twist and his eyes flash in old-style oratorical tradition.

PROMINENT G. O. P. LEADERS OUSTED

By United Press CHICAGO, June 14.—Some familiar Republican figures, nationally known, were ousted from prominent party posts in a series of upsets here that seemed to reflect the uncertainty and nervous atmosphere prevailing at this Republican convention. William M. Butler of Massachusetts, Calvin Coolidge's campaign manager in 1924, was defeated as national committeeman in Massachusetts at a caucus which elected John Richardson. A veteran woman party leader, Mrs. Ellis A. Yost of West Virginia, director of the women’s division of the Republican national committee, is to be supplanted as national committeewoman from her state. Henry W. Anderson of Virginia, one of the southern Republican leaders who gained prominence as

Wets Parade By United Press CHICAGO, June 14.—Wet paraders bearing anew slogan —“Wine, Brandy and Beer”— paraded Michigan boulevard Monday night with loudspeakers ballyhooing the plea for repeal. It was a motor cavalcade. Dozens of cars in the parade were equipped with special horns, which plaintively rendered the opening bars of “How Dry I Am.” A mile or more of motors comprised the demonstration, which attracted large and sometimes enthusiastic crowds. The various anti-prohibition organizations sponsored the parade.

CONVENTION OASES HIT BY DRY RAIDS

Thirteen Speakies Closed by Federal Agents.

By United Press

CHICAGO, June 14.—There were thirteen fewer places in Chicago where a thirsty visitor to the Republican national convention could slake a pre-Volstead thirst today. While wet demonstrators paraded through the loop in a noisy celebration, raiding squads of federal dry agents descended Monday night on thirteen places, seven of them in the loop. The raids, part of a dry campaign instituted by Prohibition Administrator Malachi L. Harney, included several speakeasies specially restocked for the convention trade. Agents raided the Planters oyster bar in the Planters hotel, where a number of convention visitors are registered, and also the Piccadilly Club, a north side cabaret. Nearly twenty were arrested. Several thousand dollars’ worth of alleged liquors was confiscated and $40,000 in furnishings.

WATSON LOSES BITTER BATTLE TO MARSHALL Lafayette Publisher Given Berth on Platform Committee. THIRD BLOW IS AIMED Senator, Twice Beaten, Now Faces Chairman Fight for Goodrich. BY BEN STERN CHICAGO. June 13. Second strike has been called on Senator James E. Watson, with the election of Henry Marshall, Lafayette publisher and dripping wet leader, to represent Indiana on the Republican national convention platform committee. And the men who have been practicing pitching for many years were preparing today to toss the third one over the plate. Strike three, it is hoped, will be the election of ex-Governor James e! Goodrich as chairman of the national committee. This action is prompted not by a love for Goodrich, it is explained carefully, but because they want to get even with Watson. Not that there is any great danger of putting over Goodrich, but the senator’s enemies here know that such talk will irk him. The first one called on Watson was lasff week, when he sent his “three R” plank on prohibition to the state committee. This called for revision, referendum, or resubmission. Smother Watson Idea Marshall, who was chairman of the platform committee and still smarting from the sting of the 1928 convention, when Watson halted his boom for national committeeman, tossed the proposal aside and inserted his own plank, which would have congress call for state conventions to decide on repeal solely. This put Watson in a dangerous spot in this year’s campaign, and to avoid a similar plank in the nai tional platform, he tried to head : off Marshall. Despite Watson's demand that Marshall be refused the resolutions committee post and the call be given William L. Hutcheson of Indianapolis, national president of the I Carpenters’ and Joiners’ union, the delegates elected the Lafayette publisher without a dissenting vote or the proposal of any other name. Then it was learned that Watson j this afternoon cried “quits” when his managers tried to put the heat on him over the telephone. Stirs Hornet’s Nest He learned that his proposal of Hutcheson had stirred a hornet’s nest and all his ancient and new enemies, including Walter J. Riley, East Chicago banker, who is a delegate here, and M. Bert Thurman at Indianapolis, former national committeeman and contender last week for the Governor nomination, got in touch with the delegation members and begged for Marshall support. By 4 p. m. Monday Watson’s managers here knew that it was all over, and a conference was held at which were present George A. Ball, national committeeman; Miss Dorothy Cunningham, committee woman, and Will H. Hays, motion picture czar, and it was decided to put Marshall on the slate. The entire program went over without a hitch at the Monday night caucus, although a difficult time was experienced in sitting on F. Harold Van Orman of Evansville, 1928-1929 Lieutenant-Gover-nor, who had announced he would ask the delegation to instruct Marshall to fight for adoption of the Indiana plank written into the state platform last week. Riley and Marshall pointed out to Van Orman that to open discussion on the subject of instruction would give the lukewarms on the delegation opportunity to urge adoption of a mild plank. Marshall assured him that he would strive to have the Indiana repeal plank adopted, and Van Orman asserted he would fight a straddling pronouncement on the floor of the convention. Appointments Are Made The entire slate of appointments was approved, following the unanimous re-election of Ball and Miss Cunningham to the national committee. Hutcheson was named honorary vice-president of the convention; Harry G. Leslie, although absent, chairman of the delegation; Mrs. Grace Banta Reynolds, Cambridge City, former state treasurer, credentials committee; Hays, rules committee; Marshall, resolutions committee; A. E. Beardsley of Elkhart, permanent organization committee, and A. M. Smith of Crawfordsville, delegation secretary. Norman E. Perry, Indianapolis capitalist, was elected to the committee to notify Herbert Roover and Riley the committee to notify the Vice-President. Hays and Lawrence B. Davis oi Indianapolis praised the appointment of Marshall, and the former said it was a “natural.” Hays announced that he would be host to the Indiana delegation at dinner tonight. He suggested an Indiana dinner be held, and when several of the delegates jokingly suggested that he give the party Hays accepted.
