PRICE FIVE CENTS COLD FAREWELL IS GIVEN ITALIA SURVIVORS KEYNOTER IN IOWA MEETING FLAYS HOOVER Democrat Calls on Farmers to Oppose Election of Secre- tary of Commerce FETISHES CHALLENGED Religious Intolerance Issue Squarely Met by Smith Party, Speaker Says Des Moines, Iowa, July 27.—(7)— Democrats in the present political campaign have no need to back track or seek desperately to get into a “band wagon,” for democracy stands today for the same brand of farm relief as it did months ago and is not asking the people to endorse a blanket contract on the assurance of Herbert Hoover that it is all go- ing to be taken care of and in due time, G. A. Kenderine, of Iowa City, temporary chairman, declared today before the Democratic state conven- tion here. “Those of you who believe in Mc- Nary - Haugenism and the equaliza- tion fee, may place the failure of that program if you will where it belongs, but do not charge it to the door of the Democratic party, but rather to the door of Calvin Cool- idge, controlled, as is the general belief, by none other than the secre- tary of commerce, Herbert Hoover, now candidate on the Republican ticket for president with the en- dorsement of Calvin Coolidge,” Kenderine said. “Protestations of a Hoover may fool a Brookhart, placate a Dickin- son (Congressman L. J. Dickinson, of Towa) and satisfy a John Ham- mill, (governor of Iowa,) but they will not satisfy the men and women of the farms and the towns of Iowa —we who realize the state’s prob- lems and know that when bread was asked the farmer was given a stone.” “In the campaign of 1928,” Mr. Kenderine said, “two historic fetishes have been challenged which have existed for years, and we be- lieve, without sanction or approval, id a great mass of cross-section ~ of the American people. One is that’ a Catholic may not be elected pres- ident of the United States; the, * other that a citizen south of the Mason - Dixon, line likewise is pro- bed from that high offi ‘The Democratic party by tional nominations today, proc! its freedom from the old bigotries and prejudices of sectional hate and religious intolerance, 2nd challenges all forward looking men and women who believe in a united country and in real equality before the law to express their opinion by their vote.” Touching upon the Republican ad- ministration at Washington, Mr. Kenderine said: “You farmers of Iowa and of the nation who have had your taste of a Hooverized, Coolidgeized, Mellon- . ized, industrialized administration, you know, if you are thinking men, too well, what your fate will be if this condition is to be continued and your woes are not assuaged. Up in North Dakota they told you to go » home and slop your hogs, that legis. lation was no concern of farmers, that that would be attended to by the wise men in the legislative bodies. “Down in Kansas City, they in your faces and slammed doors summoned the police to drive you hence, lest your complaints might receive too wide attention and cause too much unfavorable newspaper publicity.” FIVE NEW AIR LINES PLANNED Rapid City, S.

Speaking in the vast rotunda of the city hall. in reply to an address of welcome by Mayor James Rolph, Jr., the Republican presidential nom- inee warmly thanked the people of California for the honor they had done him in presenting his name to the Kansas City convention. “Mr. Mayor, you were among those gentlemen who did me the reat honor of sefecting me for leadership of a great political party through my nomination as president of the United States,” Hoover said. “My name was presented to that political party by the people of California. It was a mark of their confidence and their esteem. Acknowledges Obligation “An obligation rests on my side that I shall not only represent the great political party which has des- | ignated me for leadership, but that T shall do it in such fashion as to bring credit and distinction to the people of California.” Before making his pledge as to the conduct of his campaign, Hoover briefly revjewed his early life in San Francisco, referred to his work in the commerce department, and declared that the outlook of the world today was “for the greatest era of commercial expansion in history. come better customers,” he said. “They will have larger demands, but they also will become stronger com- petitors for the markets of the orient. In this new era of expan- sion, the whole Pacific coast will | have a large part to play.” ; In welcoming the presidential nominee on behalf of the city and ople of San Francisco, Mayor ‘olph said the nation was entering an era unique in the story of Amer- ican progress. “That cra will bear a great name,” he said. “It is to be the Hoover era.” Mayor Praises Hoover At the outset the Mayor reviewed the early struggles of Hoover in San Francisco, at Stanford univer- sity and later as a budding mining engineer, and then paid high tribute to his accomplishments in the mael- strom of the European war, in which he was caught while abroad as the representative of the Panama-Pa- cific exposition here. “The country called upon_ his genius to save the lives of millions in Belgium, later in Germany and "| central Europe, and still later to direct American famine relief in Russia,” Mayor Rolph said. “How magnificently he accomplished that Public service, the world will testify. “Then came a call from the presi- dent to work at home.

Nine hundred of the 1,272 were back in the institution at dawn, three hours after the blaze had been brought under control. Nashville police and officials of the institution were organizing an intensive search for the others, 11 of whom were considered extremely dangerous. It was expected that 250 of the missinb patients would retarn brought in soon, as they were in- offensive. Midnight Fire The main building, which is 50 years old, caught fire about mid- night. The blaze gained great head- way before two companies of the Nashville fire department and a squad of police reserves arrived. All occupants of the main building were driven from their beds scantily clad, guards and nurses taking only time to warn inmates of their dan- ger. Whether or not there was loss of life was not determined early to- day, pending an investigation. Warning shouts of guards, police and firemen added to the terror of the inmates, who, soaked by a driz- zling rain, darted across fields and down highways and railroad tracks illuminated by the flames. When the upper walls started crumbling the patients who re- mained clustered about the insti- tution screamed and moaned in fear, and broke through the police lines repeatedly. Countryside Warned Officers tried frantically to round them into other buildings of the in- stitution, and deputies posted on Hhighways took many of them to po- lice stations in the city, although, so far as could be determined, none of the dangerous criminals had been accounted for. tA dawn the alarm was sounded throughout the countryside, and residents were put on their guard by police messengers. Many of the patients helped guards with the unmanagable in- mates during the worst of the dis- order, and some were drafted to aid the firemen. Some thirty nurses and guards and doctors fled without their be- lingings. The ydid not have time even to salvage records of the insti- tution, This constituted a serious preblem, as many of the inmates, mostly the missing, probably may never be identified again. The loss was estitmated $250,000. MODERN PEPYS WRITES DIARY Mark Connolly Makes Distinct Hit With Account of Trip in Bad Lands at A new star appeared today in the firmament o fthe literati in North akota. And it’s a star of the first magnitude. i Mark J. Connolly, editor of the Hettinger Herald, New England, has published the diary of a mod- ern Pepys. It covers the recent trip of national and state notables and North Dakota newspaper men through the Bad Lands, following the dedication of the Roosevelt Me- morial bridge. 5 Its title is “Excerpts from Diary of a Modern Pepys.” The dedication is to Senator Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona. Its subtitle is “Trekking in the Tracks of Teddy with the Senate Subcommittee.” It is done with a cleverness and touch that quite outdoe the justly renowned Mr. Pepys of other days. Copies of Mark’s “Modern Diary” have been sent to all the members of the party who went on the trip to the Bad Lands, and will be much prized as a clever and humorous ac- count of what was for many, espe- cially those who rode horseback for the first time, the Great Adventure. the main building of the Central!

Po- lice were at loss whether to ciassify the tragedy as murder and suicide or a suicide pact. Their 6-month-old daughter, Max- ine, and their four-year-old twins, Carlys Fay and Marlys May, were awakened by the shots and lay whimpering in their beds in a room next to the one in which their mother's body was found when rela- tives were brought to the house by another daughter, Fern, 12 years old.

Today they were rushing southward in a special car to Italy where they will face an inquiry into their fatal trip to the pole. Cheers sped the airship on its way when it departed from Vadsoe on May 5 for the Arctic, and the town was decked with bunting and flags in their honor. Hostility kept them aboard their base ship, the Citta di Milano, yesterday until the train was ready to take them home. General Umberto Nobile, com- mander of the dirigible, looked like a man broken physically and mentality. He was pale, thin and stooped and his haggard face showed plainly the strain of worry and illness. When the Citta di Milano arrived at Fagernes, about two miles from Narvik, the crowd waiting on the quay ignored the appeals of the Ital- ian crew to take the mooring rope cast ashore. A sailor was forced to jump to the quay to tie the ship and finally a boy of eleven pitied them and helped in the mooring. Hostility Shown Zappi Captain Filippo Zappi, navigator of the airship, appeared on deck in- tending to go to buy some clothes. There were hostile cries from the crowd on the quay and he decided to remain aboard the ship. There was a military air about the vessel. Marines with bayonets fixed stood guard over the gangplank. _Nobile did not appear for some time after the ship had been moored. He was working in the cabin and it was stated he had been spending much time compiling a report of the expedition. He has now recovered sufficiently to stand without a stick, but is still much broken down. During the afternoon the Italians appeared on the deck of the vessel. Natale Ceccioni, motor chief, whose leg, broken in th» crash of the air- ship, was bandaged, appeared to be the merriest. He jumped around on crutches with a great cigar in his mouth, When the survivors landed Radio Operator Giuseppi Biagi came down the gangplank first. He threw himn- self in the arms of his brother who was awaiting him. Ceccioni fol- lowed, refusing help. Nobile Feeble General Nobile still seemed nerv- ous when he said farewell to the officers of the Citta di Milano. He walked down the gangplank feebly and nearly stumbled. A large crowd had assembled on the quay by this time. There was some hissing, but no disorder and only two policemen were pri is The members of the Swedish re- lief expedition who are traveling to Stockholm by the same train were loudly cheered as they boarded their car. The passage of the Citta di Milano from Spitzbergen to Narvik was very slow. It was stated that this was because Captain Alberto Mar- iano was still very ill. Mariano’s leg became frostbitten while waiting on the ice for rescue with Zappi and it was amputated after he and Zappi had been rescued by the Russian ice breaker Krassin on July 12.
