Speaking last night before a crowd that jammed into the 5,000 seats at Ryman auditorium in Nashville, Governor Smith ripped into his Re- publican opponents and President Coolidge in connection with their farm relief and Muscle Shoals stands, attacked Herbert Hoover's Tennessee remarks on prohibition, waterpower and immigration, and outlined his previously declared at- titudes on some of these questions. Resorts to Humor Reaching the subject of water- ywer about the half-way mark in fis speech, the nominee declared, amid laughter and applause, that had carefully scrutinized Mr. Hoo- ver’s Tennessee speech but found not even an indirect reference to Muscle Shoals. “He treated it as though it was not anywhere near here,” the gov- ernor added. The governor reaffirmed the gov- ernment ownership and control stand he took in his Denver speech, de- claring the agency, whether state or federal, should “not only own the site, but should own and build and operate the powerhouse” of water- power projects. “It is the only way that you can guarantee equitable distribution of the power, and fair and reasonable prices to the ultimate consumer, and this is because of the government's power to contract.” Policy Was Vetoed The governor said congress “adopted a policy” with regard to Muscle Shoals, but “the president vetoed it.” “I do not find any fault with him vetoing it,” he added. “That. is a matter between himself and his conscience. But we are all permit- ted to find fault with him because’ he had nothing to offer in its place.” Governor Smith said Mr. Hoover (Confinued on page two) INSANE MOTHER DROWNS THREE Detroit.

Goulandris. A statement issued by the minis- try 6f marine represented the cap- tain of the Greek vessel as. having searched only two hours for sur- vivors after the collision. A dis- patch. from the Rotterdam to Le Journal quoted the captain as hav- ing said he searched long and care- fully and reported the disaster by wireless to all ships in the vicinity. Felt Violent Shock Le Journal correspondent quoted the captain as relating that his ship was near the Portuguese cost 11 p. m. Wednesday and all the crew except the watch asleep. The watch gave no warning but suddenly the ety bagird of the ship felt a violént shock, All rushed to the side. The captain climbed to the bridge. Both he and the crew then saw clearly ahead of the ship a submarine whose nationality they were unable to dis- tinguish in the darkness. The captain was quoted as saying he and the crew realized that the steamer’s stem had struck the stern of the submarine. After a few minutes the submarine dis- appeared beneath the waves. The captain then examined the bow of his vessel to find out the extent of damage. she had suffered. He made urgent repairs and at the same time searched for the submarine. The submarine did not reappear and the captain immediately warned ill ships in the vicinity by wireless and reported that his ship had been in collision with a submarine. Search Was Futile He said he searched all the morn- ing of the next day and not until 1 o’clock Thursday afternoon did he resume his course to Holland, being convinced that further search was futile. The French consul at Rotterdam who sent the first word of the dis- ‘aster to Paris said that the captain had cruised only two hours over the spot before continuing his course. Naval men said that they saw no chance of salvaging the submarine or recovering the bodies since not only was her cxact position un- known but also the operation was impossible so far out to sea and in such great depths.

Among other articles Closed by Hurricane vices from her indicated that con- ditions were not serious and that she was making fair progress on her voyage to the United States, At 6:30 a.m., eastern standard time, she sent out a message stating that her port horizontal fin was damaged, and requesting that a sur- face vessel in the vicinity be sent to follow her course. At this time the huge air liner was about 1,100 miles due east of Bermuda. The United States naval department ordered all the light cruisers stationed at Hampton Roads and the destroyers at Charleston tc be ready to leave immediately for the assistance of the dirigible if they should be needed. At 9 o'clock, eastern standard time, however, the navy department received a message from the Zeppe- lin stating that the crew had ef- fected limited repairs, and at the time expected no need for the sur- face vessel. The position of the airship at that time was in latitude 33 north and longitude 45 west, about 950 miles from Bermuda. This second mes- sage indicated that the Zeppelin was making fair progress and that she was heading directly for Lake- hurst, N. J. The ship requested the latest weather reports. The Radio Corporation of America was in contact at 12:31 p.m. with the dirigible, but stated that no re- ports of trouble aboard the air liner had been received from her. Sy Jimmy Salerno went into Eastern Penitentiary. in Pennsylvania, 23 years ago, condemned to spend the rest of his life there. Jimmy is 76 years old now, and the prison doc- tor says he hasn’t very long to live. So Chaplain Francis Hoey obtained a pardon for the old man and here you see his smile as the news came that he was to go back into the world again. HOOVER'S FINAL CAMPAIGN TOUR STILL UNKNOWN Nominee May Visit North Da- kota After Making Minneap- olis Speech Washington, Oct. 13.—()—Three alternate proposals for the final campaign swing which Herbert Hoo- | ver will make across the continent are at present under consideration, with the Republican presidential can- didate urgently requested to make two or three addresses en route. The first proposition is that the nominee make a daylight ride across West Virginia, then swing over into Kentucky fcr a visit to Louisville, with St. Louis as the next city of call, where the major address of the trip would be made. From St. Louis the route would be to Kansas City for a stop of an| hour or more there for a procession through the main streets, and then @ southward run through Oklahoma, the Panhandle of Texas, New Mex- ico, Arizona, and southern Califor- university. nia, to the Hoover home at Stanford An alternate proposal is that Hoo- ver go directly from Washington to Chicago and then to Milwaukee, Minneapolis, across North and South Dakota to Butte, Mont. This would take the candidate over much the same route his Democratic opponent followed in his swing across the northwest. From Butte the route would be to Ogden, and thence across the Great Salt Lake and the Nevada desert to San Francisco. This was the line over which the nominee passed when he went to Palo Alto for his Notification ceremonies, while the other line to the south generally would parallel the route as far as Kansas City in returning to Wash- ington after the’ notification. Illinois leaders urge an address at the coliseum in Chicago, while those in Wisconsin want the nom- inee to speak in Milwaukee, and the western managers generally favor an address at Minneapolis, in the of the northwestern wheat Of course, Hoover will not Washington, Oct. 13.—(AP)— |The navy department received a radiogram from the Graf Zeppelin today stating that she was proceed- ing at a reduced air speed of about 50 knots and that -her position was 33 degrees north and 45 degrees west. The passage was rough, the message said.. The message sent at 6:35 o'clock, eastern standard time and 11:35 o’clock Greenwich time, said that ithe ship was damaged on_ the port horizontal and that repairs were being effected. It requested that a surface vessel in the vicinity follow the course of the airship. It added that the air speed was 35 knots. Naval authorities here said that it was impossible to determine exactly how fast the ship was actually trav- eling compared to ground speed. New York, Oct. 13.— (®) —With her five 580-horsepower motors droning a steady song of power and speed, Graft Zeppelin, huge trans- atlantic liner, raced over the Atlantic today at between 75 and 85 miles an hour, headed for Lakehurst, N. J., via Bermuda. Advices of unfavorable weather to the north indicated that the air- ship pursued a circuitous course to the south. Dr. Hugo Eckener, com- mander and builder, hopes to land at the United States naval air sta- tion at Lakehurst at noon tomorrow with his cargo of 20 passengers and mail from Friedrichshafen, Ger- many, demonstrating that crossing the ocean by airship is no longer mere adventure, but now is a com- mercial undertaking. Four years ago today Dr. Eckener saw the dawn as he approached the island of Sao Miguel, in the Azores, on the ZR-3, now the Los Angeles. At dawn this morning the Azores were well behind him as he directed the Graf Zeppelin, half again as large as the Los Angeles. Trade Winds Favorable Good weather aided the airship in making up for time lost in buffet- ing headwinds over the Mediterrane- an after leaving Friedrichshafen, Germany, at 2 a.m., eastern stand- ard time, on Tuesday. In swinging south to Madeira the dirigible en- tered a region of light variable winds which made passage: easier. The dirigible escaped a disturbance north of the Azores by following a course to the south along which fa- yorable trade winds might aid the oleNe motors in speeding the ae .
