DEMOCRATS AT CHICAGO CLASH ON WET PLANK Debate Repeal or Straddle; Majority ‘Dripping/ Says Shouse. BY LEO R. SACK Times SUIT Writer CHICAGO, June 18.—The advance guard of Democratic politicians arriving here today for their national convention, which convenes a week from Monday, immediately clashed in a debate over whether they should demand prohibition repeal or duplicate the Republicans on the so-called “Hoover straddle plank.” Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic national executive committee, first of the committe officials on the scene, already has received fifty prohibition platform suggestions. They range, he said, from the moderate referendum idea to repeal. “The large proportion are very, very wet,” he observed. "The trend is toward repeal. Others advance the so-called Swedish system, and many want the entire problem returned to the sta;es.” The first Democratic prohibition fight will occur within the resolutions committee, even as it did with the Republicans—but with this difference: The Democratic resolutions committee, which convenes next Thursday, will not be under White House pressure to accept a straddle platform. Aim to Be Frank Democrats have struggled over prohibition at two national committee meetings within the past two years, with the result, in Shouse’s opinion, that they further are advanced as to what they want to do than were the Republicans when they reached Chicago. “Whatever we do,” ShdUse asserted, "we will be franker than were the Republicans. It is quite possible that we will favor the submission by congress of a repeal resolution.” Among the leaders arriving here it is noticeable that the G. O. P. evasion has won some Democratic political drys to the belief that their party ought to be wetter. The more seasoned spokesmen, represented largely by members of the anti-Roosevelt bloc, insist, that the party demand scrapping of the “noble experiment.” They also demand that the candidate express his unequivocal sympathy with this repeal stand, when, and if, such a plank is adopted. See Eastern Gain They estimate the possible voles to be won as very large in the eastern states, embittered over the Republicans’ failure to meet the issue. Privately the anti-Roosevelt forces think the G. O. P.’s action is a tactical gain for them. Besides capitalizing wet sentiment in New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Illinois—which have almost 200 electoral votes, they point out that the candidate should, if possible, be a man who appeals to this territory. Roosevelt, as even his friends admit, is more satisfactory to the dry west than the wet cast. Name Is Withheld By United Press NEW YORK, June 18.—Embarrassing political alignments attributed to men discussed as possible nominators of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt at the Democratic convention, caused the delay in announcement of that nominator’s name, it was reported here today. The man to place Roosevelt’s name before the convention as its presidential nominee will be anr nounced Sunday; it had been scheduled for announcement Friday. Tammany Hall, it was reported, prevented the selection of Senator Robert F. Wagner as the speaker. Wagner was not a member of the state delegation, and Tammany held a veto power over any plan calling for resignation of a member of the delegation so Wagner might be named to the vacancy. Hint at Bowers Tha senator also was opposed, it was reported, by the faction friendly to Alfred E. Smith, rival of Roosevelt. Mayor James J. Walker, under fire as result of the Hofstadter investigation, also was reported fighting any move, by the New York delegation that'might aid Roosevelt, and as a result is co-operating again with Smith, whom he once opposed. Claude G. Bowers, Democratic keynoter in 1928 at Houston, was the second possible nominator most generally discussed as the Roosevelt selection. It was learned that such a selection was warded oft by Bowers’ friends. Bowers is an editorial writer for William Randolph Hearst’s New York Evening Journal, and Hearst is supporting the candidacy of Speaker John N. Garner of Texas. Senator Wagner, it was learned, incurred Tammany enmity by his failure to aid the Tammany fight against the Walker investigation. He incurred Smith’s displeasure by favoring Roosevelt over Smith for the nomination. TRUCK PLEA REFUSED Railway Express Firm Denied Right to Run Kokomo Service. Petition of the Railway Express Motor Transport, Inc., a subsidiary of the Railway Express Company, for a certificate to operate trucks as common carriers for freight between Indianapolis and Kokomo, has been denied by the public service commission.

FOX AID BARES $433,608 GAIH IN 2 MONTHS " t Pool Made Huge Profits in Short Time, Committee Told by Associate. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 18 -Operations of a pool in Fox Amusement stocks, which brought a half-mil-lion dollar profit in less than two months, were described today before the senate banking and currency committee. The committee had expetced to hear William Fox, pioneer motion picture producer, but fore the third consecutive day, he was excused because of illness. Bradford Ellsworth of Hartford, Conn., testified he was associated with Fox in a “small” pool which operated from Aug. 27 to Oct. 7, 1928, and said the profits were $433,308. Another pool, which included Fox, John Raskob, Walter P. Chrysler and Nicholas F. Brady, was short 366,310 shares of Fox stock on Jan. 7, 1928, Ellsworth said. He denied this was an objectionable short operation “because it was not done to depress the market.” Fox drew his profits from the popol in a check for $322,000, which was made out to “P. J. Higgins” and later indorsed by Fox, Higgins, an employe of Meehan & Cos., testified. The check was drawn in this form to “conceal from the clerical force” the identity of the men interested in the pool, Higgins said. Walter Best, another employe, described the borowing of 25,000 shares of Fox Theater stock by the pool from Jack G. Leo, Fox’ brother-in-law, and an official in the Fox enterprises. George* K. Watson, the committee’s accountant, traced the complicated course by which 125,000 shares of Fox Theaters was issued to Leo and subsequently found its way to Meehan <fc Cos. While with Meehan the stock was carried in the “stock borrowed” account which he described as a “short” account. The price sold down more than seven points before the loan was repaid, the witness said. The pool at one time was 466,000 shares short, 30,000 shares of which came from options and the remainder of which was bought on the open market, Watson said. Although the open market purchases tended to bring down the total profit, the net gain to the pool after commissions and fees was more than $1,900,0000, the witness claimed. SEES END OF DRY LAW ‘Prohibition Is Going,’ Says Shrfner’s Imperial Potentate. “Prohibition is going. That is my personal view,” declared Thomas J.

The call came from Physicians and Surgeons hospital. Accompanied by Stanley Mau.s, investigator, the physician was taken to his luxurious home, where he bathed, shaved, rested and breakfasted. They went to the hospital. All was in readiness. The woman was in the operating room. While Maus waited in an anteroom, the doctor donned his white gown and started on the two-hour operation. Maus was amazed at the way the harried surgeon pulled himself together and girded for the strain of the operation. Meantime, friends, patients and fellow-physicians rallied to Dr. Townsend’s defense. They raised bond to obtain his release when he is arraigned on a second-degree murder information. Investigators were convinced that the surgeon performed an illegal operation on the nurse.

Joy and Gloom Chicago Kids Happy With Freedom; Teachers Broke, Hungry.

CHICAGO, June 18.—The summer vacation began today for 500,000 cheery youngsters of Chicago's public schools, but to 14,000 unpaid school teachers it meant twelve black weeks to be faced with empty purses and barren larders. So serious did the plight of the teachers appear that an emergency committee of civic leaders and officials was formed to visit Washington Tuesday in an effort to obtain federal aid. Mayor Anton J. Cermak formed the mission at a night conference of officials and Chicago bankers, held a few hours after 500 teachers had stormed the mayor’s office demanding action. Approximately six months’ pay is due the teachers. Bankers headed by Melvin A. Traylor, Democratic dark-horse presidential candidate and president of the First National bank, informed the mayor the city could expect little mbre in' the way of loans until citizens start to pay taxes in some volume. The emergency committee appointed by Cermak included both of Illinois’ senators and the state’s congressional delegation. It will ask that congress revise the statutes of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to allow that agency to loan money directly to the Impoverished Chicago governments. Traylor made clear that the banks will not borrow funds from the corporation and reloan the money to the city.
