CABINET SCRAP OVER CAMPAIGN ALARMS HOOVER Fight Over Taking Stump Has President Tied Up in Turmoil. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER Unit'll Pm Staff Carrnpandtnt <Coovrt*ht. 1922. bv United Pre**> WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—Division in the cabinet is responsible for the delay of President Hoover in making known his campaign speaking plans. Treasury Secretary Ogden Mills is urging Mr. Hoover to remain in Washington as originally contemplated. War Secretary Patrick Hurley, just back from the west, is telling Mr. Hoover that he must go out to the country if he expects to win the election. The barrage of conflicting advice has been pounding on President Hoover ever since the Maine election returns brought discouraging news a week ago. It reached an intensive stage over the week-end. Major Schism Feared Some fear that unless Mr. Hoover intervenes and cuts off the controversy, a major schism which might weaken the morale of the party organization may result. Advisers are lining up on one oide or the other. The question of whether the Republican strategy shall be revised in the midst of the battle by sending Mr. Hoover out on the stump threatens to obscure all other matters within the party general staff until it is settled. Republicans have ceased to treat Governor Roosevelt lightly. The Republican comment on his Salt Lake City railroad speech was that it had been cribbed from President Hoover. The Republican national committee view authoritatively was stated by Labor Secretary James Doak when he said that Mr. Hoover “had recommended to congress the very plans which Mr. Roosevelt now' adopts as his own.” Hatfield Alarms Mills Considerable surprise therefore was caused when a few hours later Senator Henry D. Hatfield < Rep., W. Va), after a conference with Mr. Hoover, drew' from his pocket a typewritten statement which commented on Roosevelt’s Salt Lake speech as follows: “This is not presidential stuff. It is the kind of economic nonsense that one would expect from a visionary, or a peddler of dreams ” Treasury Secretary Mills, who has supervised mast of the Republican propaganda, threw up his hands when he read Hatfield's statement. He declined to trust himself to public comment. Mills wants Mr. Hoover to sit in Washington and educate the country as to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation by radio talks. He believes the Republican fight should be staked largely on the R. F. C. Farm States Feared Mills soon is to leave for the coast on a speaking tour of w'hich the climax will be an address to the American Bankers’ convention at San Francisco. He believes similar trips by other .cabinet members w ill be sufficient. Hurley, on the other hand, feels that the cabinet has fired its heaviest shots already, and that the President himself must take up the battle. Some of the President’s advisers believe that the party will have to talk about something besides the R. F. C. to win the farm states, where mortgage foreclosures are taking farms away from their owners, and throwing them on the hands of banks and trust companies. NEGRO, CRIMINAL SINCE 1893, IS GIVEN FINE Man of Many Aliases Draws SSO and Costs for Vagrancy. A Negro whose criminal career began in 1893 and w-ho has a list of aliases reading like a city directory, was fined SSO and costs today by Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer on conviction of vagrancy. Arrested Sept. 9 under the name of John Johnson, 1820 Columbia avenue, the Negro was found in possession of seven suits of men’s clothing and eight pairs of trousers, according to Detectives George E. Stewart and Dennis Houlihan. They were unable to find any one to identify the clothing as stolen, and no charge other than vagrancy could be filed. Names used by the Negro include Edward Price, Harry Jones, Albert Williams, Harry Williams, James Payne, Benjamin Franklin, George Jackson, Edward Williams, John Wilson, Albert Jones, Charles Turner and Henry James. He has served terms in several state prisons including those of Indiana. Illinois, Minnesota and Oregon, mostly for larceny.

RAILROADS NEED HUGE GAIN FOR NORMALCY Roads Must Regain Half of Traffic Lost Since 1929 Peak. By Bcrippi-Howarii Xeicspaprr A/lirtticr "WASHINGTON. Sept. 20.—When the nation's railroads regain onehalf of the traffic they have lost during the depression since 1929. their earnings, because of economies they have instituted, will be normal again. This estimate is made by W. W. Colpitts of Cloverdale and Colpitts, consulting engineers of New York. Without counting in tne 10 per cent wage cut now in effect among railway employes, and taking no cognizance of the new proposal to cut wages by 20 per cent, starting next Feb. 1, Colpitts estimates that when the carriers regain half of the traffic they have lost since 1929. their net operating income will be slightly more than it was in that year. * N. Y. Banker Turns Publisher NEW YORK.

M’NUTT CLEARS UTILITIES STAND Pledges Shakeup in Public Service Commission Clarifying statements regarding his stand on the public utility question, Paul V. McNutt, Democratic Governor candidate, told members of the Service Club Monday that he favored municipal ownership of utilities. “Wg have certain laws in Indiana regulating public utilities and a commission to administer these laws. Neither the laws nor the administration of those laws are satisfactory,’,’ # he said. “I beileVe that Hoosier municipalities are competent to manage their own utilities, if they so desire. “If any city shows a majority of its citizens wanting to own and manage their own utilities they should have the right and power to do so. “Elect a Democratic general assembly, and we’ll make new and better laws governing public utilities for the benefit of the consuming public. And if I become your chief executive, I promise to make a complete change In the personnel of the commission.”

They killed two sled dogs for food, and finally reached Melville island, the first white men to arrive there since Stefansson in 1915. There they slept in snow houses which they built and warmed themselves with a primus stove and a can of kerosene the explorer had left. They finally reached a settlement of Eskimos who befriended them until they could make their way back to civilization this summer. Verville said he had not seen any white man, other than his partner, from July 28, 1931, until Aug. 2, 1932.
