(By the Associated Press) St. Louis, Aug. 2—With United States Senator James A. Reed lead- ing Breckenridge Long by 11,200 for the Democratic senatorial nomination, on the face of incomplete unofficial returns from 2,242 precincts out of 3,848 in the state, Ed. Glenn, Reed's campaign manager told the Associat- ed Press today the senator would win by 25,000 votes. The Reed-Long race overshadowed all other issues in the primary cam- paign. The senator, grizzled veteran of many campaigns was bitterly as- sailed by followers of Woodrow Wil- son, by those who objected tohis war stand, by friends uf the League of Nations, prohibition, suffrage and federal maternity bill, by women’s organizations and by those Democrats of Missouri who ussisted in reading him out of the party in 1920, when the action of his home district in electing him a delegate to the na- tional convention at San Francisco was twice overruled. “Qld Guard” Man ‘Wins. On the Republican side, the sena- torial nomination apparently has gone to R. R. Brewster of Kansa City who carried the endorsement of the “old guard” Republicans as well as that of Governor Hyde's administration. Running in a_ six-cornered race, Brewster piled up comfortable lead on early returns, while three avowed progressives and two advocates of the return of light wine and beer, di “yided the rest of the vote Witllam Sacks, wealthy.oil man and one time $60 a month postal clerk, is running, second to Brewster and far ahead of + the three progressives as a result of strong support in St. Louis for his light wines and beer platform. ‘All four of the women candidates for congress apparently have been de- feated, although returns from the Bleventh district, where two women were in the Republican race and the ‘Twelfth, where one woman was & Democratic candidate, are as yet toe meagre to make a decisive statement. ———— oo | SEN.

Aug. 2— Mayor J. G. Walton of Oklahoma City, anti-Ku Klux Klan candidate and supported by the farmer-labor ele- ment of Oklahoma was leading his nearest opponent for the Democratic nomination for governor by almost 8,000 votes early today with unofficial returns from yesterday's state-wide primary ‘about one-third complete. R. H. Wilson, superintendent of the state board of cwacation claimed to have had the endorsement of the Ku Klux Klan, was running second. Walton made his campaign on pledges to put the state government in the hands of che farmer-labor “where it belongs.” He had the in- dorsement of the #armer-labor recon- struction league witn a platform ¢all- ing for state aid to farmers, state ownership of public utilities and the Plumb plam_of government adminis- tration of the railroads. It is said he told a Ku Klux Klan delegation during the campaign he intended te run the Klansmen “into the ‘Arkan- sas river” if he became governor. Editor Nominated, John Fields, farm paper editor of Oklahoma City, wno will face the Oklahoma ‘gubernatorial nominee in November, had virtually no oppos: tion from his Republican opponent, George Healy. Fields was leading more than seven to one on the re- turns brought in. Miss Alice Robertson of. Muskogee Republican. representative in con- gress from the Second, district was ‘ahead in her race for renomination jon the face of returns. Manuel Her- |rick of Perry, Republican, whe pr. claims himself congress’ “aerial dare- | devil.” was running a poor third in the Eighth district with less than half of the precinct heard from. Besides Herrick, Representative T. A. Chand- ler, Republican from the First dis- trict was the only one of the eight incumbents in congress, who: fell be- hind in the contest for renominatien. Prohibition Not In. National issues played little part in the primary. Prohibition did not en- ter. The campaign centered on jcharges made by Walton’s oponents jthat he represented the Nonpartisan League interests in Oklahoma. The issue raised caused the cam- paign to be one of ene ciardest fough: ever seen in Oklahoma and politica: observers were frank to admit today | that Walton's apparent victory held the possibility of a large deflection from the Democratic rants in che general election in November. # SENTENCED 10 THIRTY YEARS Campobasso, Italy, Aug. 2.—Ven- turiano Di Scenzo, convicted of the murder of Daniel Kaber, the Cleve- land publisher, was condemned today to 30 years imprisonment at hard labor.

The district attorney’s office an- nounced the state would try Mrs. Obenchain again and Judge John W. Shenk put the case upon his calen- dar for next Friday for re-setting. Intimations came from the prose- cution that charges might be filed against certain jurors on the ground; they entered the jury box with pre- conceived ideas of the defendants in- nocence. These were answered by others from the defense that it might charge certain attaches of the dis- trict attorney’s office with “jury tam- pering.” When the cort discharged the jury, certain of its members declared Foreman Paddock refused to permit a full discussion of the evidence. It was said the jurors early in their deliberations, first “cleared” Mrs. Obenchain of the murder charge, next of second degree murder and then voted a8 to her possible guilt on a manslaughter chavge.

S., sug. 2—Dr, Alex- ander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, died in nis home at Bad deck last night. President Thayer of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company on hearing of Mr. Bell's Gath or- dered all the subsidiary corporations of the Bell system throughout the United States to half mast flags on their buildings. HAD FAILED RAPIDLY, Washington, Aug. 2.—News of the death of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell at his summer place and laboratories at Baddeck, Nova Scotfa, came as a shock to the scientist’s many friends in Washington, although they knew he had been ferting for~ several months, At a birthday luncheon some months ago Dr. Bell’s friends were surprised to see that he had become feeble from age during the last year and that his remarkable vigor was fast disappearing. Davis S, Fairchild, the agricultural explorer, one of Dr. Bell’s son-in- laws, telegraphed the Geographic so- ciety that the famous inventor died at 2.0’clock; this morning of aenemia. Mrs. Fairchild, who was Marion Bell, and “Mrs, Bell, were with Dr. Bell when the end came. ; Dr, Bell’s other daughter, Mrs, Gilbert. H. Grosvenor of Washington is with her husband in Brazil, No funeral arrangements have been announced, but it is »xpected that Dr. ;Bell’s body will be brought to Wash- ington for burial. Alexander Graham: Bell lived to see experiments which he began with avdead man’s ear less than fifty years ago result.in a. means of communica- tion. for millions of long distance tel- ephone conversations daily in all parts of the world. The’ posstpill: . of talking over a wire, ridiculed then as a dream by almost everybody ex- cept Bell, became during hig life- time a reality commonplace and mar- vellous, Means of communication had been a hobby in the Bel) ramily lonsy before the inventor of the telepheno was born. Two generations back, Alexander Bell beeame noted for in- venting a system for overcoming stammering speech, while his son, lexander Melville Bell, father of the inventor of the telephone, perfected a system of visible speech. With this heritage, the son, bors in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1847, un- dertook similar experiments whil> ill a lad. Me constructed an arti- ficial skull of gutta-percha and In- dian rubber that would pronounce several words in weird tone, when blown into by a hand bellows. At the age of sixteen he became, like his father, a teacher of elocution, and an instructor of deaf mutes, Bell reached a crisis in his: life at the age of 22, when he was threaten- ed with tuberculosis.. The white plague caused the death of his: two brothers and the Bell family mi- grated to Brantford, Canada. A meeting at that time with Sir Charles Wheatstone, the English in- ventor of the telegraph, fired the young elocutionist w:th ambition. to invent a musical, or multiple, tele- graph, which eventually turnea our to be a telephone. His father while giving a lecture in Boston, proudly mentioned tn2 son’s success in teaching London deaf mutes. This led the Boston Board of Education to offer the young Bell $500 to introduce his system in the newly opened school for deaf mutes. He was then 24 years old, and instantly became the educational sensation of the day. He was ap- pointed a professor in Boston uni- versity, and openee his instantly suc- cessful “School of Vocal Physiology.” Prefers gventing. But teaching interfered with his inventing, and he soon gave’ up all but two pupils. One of these was Mabel Hubbard, of a weathy family. She had lost her hearing and speech in an attack of scarlet fever while a baby. It was she who later became i Bell’s wife. Bell spent the following three years-in night work in a cellar in Salem, Mass. His money-needs were met by Gardiner G. Hubbard, his fu- ture father-in-law, «and Thomas San- ders, the owner of the cellar. As he worked he began to see the possibil- ity of conveying speech over an elec- trically charged wife—the telepnone He used a dead man’s ear for a trans- mitter. “If I can make a deaf mute talk,” Bell had declared, “I can make iron talk.” His first success came while test- ing his instruments in his new quar: ters in Boston. Thomas A. Watson, Bell’s asssistant, had struck a clock spring at one end of the wire, and Bell was electrified to hear the sound in another room. For forty weeks the instrument struggled, as it were, the Tuttle team and the prison team, | expressed here today. for human speech. Then on March (Continued on Page 3)
