Y., July 7—Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt is happy and confident he will be elected Presi- dent next November. The big worry with Gov. Roose- velt has been whether Al Smith would come over to the Demo- cratic camp or head a third party. Smith’s announcement yesterday that he will support the Demo-I cratic Party, brought a huge smile to Roosevelt's face. Jouett Shouse, Smith’s campaign | manager of preconvention days, has| also pledged support to the Demo- cratic ticket. Meanwhile there is much talk of Tammany drafting Smith for aj} fifth term as New York Governor. ———————— TROY PREDICTS VICTORY MARCH FOR ROOSEVELT Was World's Greatest Con- vention and Roosevelt Will Win, He Wires Prediction that Gov.

He attended the convention as one of the Alaska delegation and met with the National Committee as proxy for J. J. Connors, National Committeeman. “It was the world’s greatest con- vention and Roosevelt will win,” Mr. Troy declared in his message. He left Chicago last night for San Diego where he will visit Mrs. Troy, and later go to other Cali- fornia points to see relatives and friends before returning to Juneau. ———————— STOCK MARKET CAUTIOUS OVER DEVELOPMENTS Lausanne and Washington Sessions Make Trad- ers Keep Quiet INEW YORK, uJuly 7.—Stocks drifted idly today as uncertainties developed at Washington and Lau- sanne and kept the traders quiet.

The bill now goes to the Sen- ate which is expected to adopt it and send it to the President. Republican Senators said they would not oppose it so as to clear the way for a relief measure acceptable to Hoover and thus hasten adjournment of Congress, WASHINGTON, July 7.—Presi- dent Hoover and Speaker Garner tangled again yesterday in a verbal battle on relief legislation. Garner assailed Hoover on the House floor charging that the Chief Executive desired & “select clien- tele” to reap the benefits of the projected three billion five hundred dollar Reconstruction Finance Cor- poration loan fund. Remove Restriction The Speaker urged Congress to remove restriction so any individual on good security could borrow. President Hoover in a formal statement hit back declaring he would not accept the proposal in- sisted upon by the Texan. President’s” Reply The President said he did mot propose to “further increase unem- ployment by such a disastrous ac- tion as proposed through jeopard- izing the whole credit of the Gov- ernment and laying our people open to every kind - of injustice apd loss.” The Garner bill, passed by the House, and the Wagner bill passed by the Senate, both carry $2,300,- 000,000 in all, but differ in the dis- tribution of these funds. Both, however, have a $300,000,000 fund for direct relief of the destitute. —————— FRENCH NAVAL VESSEL SINKS, MANY ABOARD Submarine Plunges to Bot- tom of Cherbourg Har- bor This Afternoon PARIS, July 7.—The French sub- marine Promethee, with a crew of 56 men aboard, sank off Cher- bourg Harbor this afternoon. The ship is in 25 fathoms of wa- ter. Besides the crew of 56, there are said to be 19 engineers aboard.

F. Kennedy, liguor commis- sioner, said the Hquor control board has uncovered an amazing traffic in synthetic liquor, sold to unwary British Columbians and disguised under counterfeit labels and placed in bottles retrieved from junk dealers. Much of the liquor, he said, is believed to come from the United States, being imported by moon- shiners together with instructions how to “age” and flavor and color led she was “not worthy of him.” ‘expect to be back here ‘omorrow. ll', t Human Side * * Franklin D.

No Details of Development This was the extent of Mr. Bradley's reference to the Alaska Juneau operations. He declared it was interesting every year to him to note the steady march of im- provements in the town. Better- ments, he added, were more easily discernible here, where everything can be observed, than in other communities which might be spend- ing larger sums than is done lo- cally. It is a relief to him, he declared, to find no discussion of depression in Juneau. “It is possible you do not know there is any depression, and, if that is true, you are indeed fortunately situated.” Alaska, he added, *is bound to feel, at least present economic conditions. Fewer tourists are making the Alaska voyage this year and that means a loss of revenue. Fewer canneries ‘e operating which results in less money coming here from outside sources. Alaskans Not Experting Despite these circumstances, he had found no long dissertations on the depression, and Alaskans are not undertaking to qualify as ex- perts on its causes and cure. In the States almost every man is now an expert and each is ready to expcund his theories. Lower costs of raw material and labor in the States have not reached the Alaska Juneau’s min- ing costs, he said The main items of expense, such as the purchase of powder, steel balls and rubber unit costs have not been lowered. ley's short talk, President Allen neau’s residents might take the Alaska Juneau’s operations as a matter of course, they realized that l (Continyes on ruge Eight) indirectly, some of the- effects of | belting, remain unchanged as the At the conclusion of Mr. Brad-| Shattuck declared that while Ju-| lican Party’s history, the campaign will be directed from the West.
