M’ADOO-SMITH FIGHT , GOING TO ‘KNOCKOUT’ Chief - Demoeratic Contsnders ‘on Scene for Party's Most Dra- mati¢ Struggle: NOISE - T0 BE CUT ON RADIO Listeners Will Be Spared Prolong- ed Racket for Favorifes. BY ROBERT T. SMALL: NEW YORK, June 19.—For the first time that delegates can remember the two leading figures in a fight for the Democratic presidential nomina- tion are “on the ground” and pre- pared to go the limit in their per- sonal struggle for the highest honors of the party. It \probably was the fact that the convention is being held here in the home town of Gov. Al Smith that convinced William Gibbs McAdoo and his supporters that he should lose no time in getting to New York himself, cutting from under the governor any advantage he might have by his own smiling contact with the delegates. In_any. event they are both here and both in a militant frame of mind. Gov. Smith would not admit himself @ candidate until the state convention Wwas held some two months ago and unanimously indorsed him for the From that time on, how- ."$mith fight was in the open. . that time on it became an or- ganized effort to gain the nomination. and Franklin D.

The governor himself now is in charge and his “handlers’—as they gay In prize ring parlance—are cer- tain that his admitted personal mag- petism will stand him in good stead as he mingles with the convention Visitors and delegates. Gov. Smith is to most of those' whe know him well the typical New York- er. There has been a long search in the past for this type. Al seems to fit it. He is a_real native son. The teeming East Side. which has given New York city and New York State many of its leading politicians, nur- tured Al Smith. and to this day much of its atmosphere clings to him, de- spite the polish and suavity the vears have given him.

They call their plans “a campaign of inireas- ing enthusiasm.” More Naise Over Radio. The radio bugs who listen the Democratic convention are going to have a far more hectic time than they had when the broadcasting was done from Cleveland. The Demoerats are a noisy lot. The least little thing sets them going, and the chairman has a hard time stopping them. In Cleveland the band and organ could play any old tune at all and there was scarcely a handclap. Let the first strains of “Dixie” or *The Sidewal of New .York' float out on the air of Madison Square Garden and the radio fans will think all the static in the world has jumped 2t them in onme fell blow. ~ Radio bugs had better put on the loud speaker and keep the headphones away from their ears. Otherwise an epidemic of deafness is likely to sweep the country. Fortunately the radio broadcasters have been apprised of the habits and temperaments of the Democrats and arrangements have been made “to cut out® the cheering and applause after brief intervals “on the air" The announcers are to be placed in glass beoths, and from within these sealed boxes they will endeavor to describe and explain the convention while the Platform microphones are disconnected. nected. Long Convention- Seen. The New York newspapers are giv- ing so much space to the Democrats that most of the people in the me- tropolis think the convention already i in session. Most of these same people are just about as near the con- wvention today as they ever will be. A whole lot of the arriving dele- gates are in favor of abrogating the rule which requires that a candidate shall receive two-thirds of all the wvotes in the convention before he can be nominated. But no one apparently wants to bear the burden of starting the fight. With the rule still in force the chances are the New York con- vention will be the longest on record, extending over the Fourth of July. Shirt-Sleeve Weather.

The present record of forty-six ballots was set at Baltimore in 1912, when Woodrow Wilson broke a deadlock and won the nomination. The next highest was at San Fran- cisco, when James M.

HUNDREDS FIGHT BLAZE IN NATIONAL FOREST Men, Wind and Snow Combine to Subdue Flames in Arapahoe Reserve. By the Associated Press. DENVER, Col, June 19.—Between 250 and 300 men continued today to fight the fire demon in Arapahoe national forest, fifty miles west of Denver, the heart of the tourist play- ground in Colorado, where 2,500 acres of desirable timber was destroyed vesterday. The conflagration started when a careless tourist abandoned his camp fire, leaving smouldering embers, which were fanned into flames by a high wind. Unless wind conditions become un- favorable the fighters will have the blaze under control some time today, according to Allen S. Peck, district forester of the Rocky Mountain area. Late last night the blaze had been stopped on three sides, but was head- ing up the. Frazer River, and forest service crews were “back-firing” to heck its progress. & Two elements of nature—wind and snow—served to hold the fire back yesterday. The wind kept it from at- tacking the west portal of the Moffat tunnel, where construction crews mike their homes. Starting about a quarter of a mile from the portal, the blaze, driven before a stifft wind, climbed steadily up James Peak, cut- ting a path between 300 and 400 yards wide into the cholce yellow spruce and Norway pine trees, but Was stopped on the steep face of the peak when it reached the snow line. Mr. Peck estimated the fire made a path between four and five miles fn Tength up the side of the mountain.

Stephenson, former grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, in a statement issued here yesterday announced his resignation from the order. He will Tetain his position with the northern Klansmen, who have seceded from the organization with headquarters in Georgia, he said. The recent edict -of the_ imperial wizard of the Klan, H. W. Evans, at the Cleveland convention, in which he threatened the defeat of the Re- publican ticket in November unless the Republican national conveation obeyed his will, had left no other course open, he said, in referring to his resignation. The threat referred to by Stephenson was said_to have been the statement quoting Evans as supporting United States Senator Watson of Indiana for the Republican nomination for Vice President.

If New York gets twice as many we will be doing very well, indeed.” We will have many vacant rooms."” After a prolonged study of favorite dishes, Joseph Burger, president of the United Restaurant Owners' Asso- clation, announced today that ar- rangeinents had been made to serve each delegate with the food to which he had been accustomed. or to afford him a complete switch in diet. “For the delegates from the south- eastern states,” sald Mr. Burger, “there will be fried chicken, Virginia ham and old-fashioned southern warf- fles. For the delegates from Louis lana and the nearby states there wi be Creole dishes. For the southwest. erners there will be Mexican special- ties, such as hot tamales and chill concarne.

S. to Be Put Flatly Before Democratic Convention. FLETCHER BEHIND MATTER Senator Said to Back Shipping Board Proposal. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Staft Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, June 19.—A merchant marine plank for the Democratic na- tional platform has been drafted by Commissioner Frederick 1. Thompson of the United States Shipping Board, after consultation with Senator Fletcher of Florida, ranking member of the Senate committee on commerce, and will be soon brought to New York. The proposed plank puts the Demo- cratic party squarely on record as favoring the continued operation by the government of the overseas fleet now owned by the government. as long as it may be necessary to aid Anterican commerce and as long a merchant marine is needed for na- tional defense. The plank also puts the party on record as favoring preferential treatment for American merchant vessels, includ- ing preferential tariff rates, etc. It criti- cizes the Republican administration vig- orously because of its failure to put in operation the provisions of the existing merchant marine law giving such preference to American vessels. Thompson Is Delegate. Commissioner Thompson is a dele- gate to the convention from Ala- bama. He Is expected to be a mem- ber of the resolutions committee of the Democratic national convention, which will draft the platform. his proposal regarding the merchant marine plank will undoubtedly re- ceive serious consideration. It is un- derstood that Senator Fletcher is in sympathy with the Thompson plan. In_ the opinfon of Commissioner Thompson, Senator Fletcher and others of the Democratic party who are keenly interested in the upkeep of the American merchant marine, the merchant marine plank adopted by the Republican national convention in Cleveland does not go nearly far enough. But the Republican platfonm never- theless pledgen that party to the con- tinued operation of the government- owned fleet by the government as long as conditions make it necessary to keep the American flag on the seas, although the hope is clearly express- ed that different conditions in the carrying trade will make it possible eventually to have the ships tran. ferred to private ownership and op- eration. One Hopeful Sign Seen. Before such a condition can_be brought about, however, the differ- ential in the cost of maintenance and operation of the merchant vessels now existing between the vessels flying the American flag and those flying the flag of Great Britain, m';l_;l be cut way down. ere is one hopeful si, for the American merchant marine, however, in the plank adopted by the Repub- licans and that now proposed by the Democrats. There is contained in both a _firm declaration that the United States intends to go through with the maintenance of merchant marine, whether it be government owned and operated or whether it be owned and operated by private Amer- ican citizens.

LODGE AMONG GUESTS AT COOLIDGE DINNER Senators Borah, Watson, Curtis and Warren Also There for In- formal Political Talk. EARLY CAMPAIGNING URGED Representatives Tincher and Sin- nott Complete Invited List. Numerous questions growing out of the Cleveland convention and in- cident t6 the organization of the Re- publican forces for the national cam- paign were discussed in an informal manner at the White House last night by President Coolidge with sev- eral Republican senators and repre- sentatives. This conference followed dinner at the White House. The guests included Senators Lodge of Massachusetts, Borah of Idaho, Watson of Indiana, Curtig of Kansas, Warren of Wyoming aad Brandegee of Confiecticut and Repre- sentatives Tincher of Kansas and Sinnott of Oregon. Want Campalign Started. The President’s guests expressed the opinion that no time should be lost in getting the campaign actively under way. Immediately after the Democratic convention the big party machine should start operations, they said. Each seemed desirous of put- ting aside any personal differences or any feelings which might have arisen at the Cleveland convention as a re- sult of the manner in which William M. Butler, the chairman, conducted the conclave. They expressed a de sire for party harmony and loyalty. It was explained alsp at the White House today that another reason for the President having these party leaders as dinner guests was that vir- tually all of them are leaving Wash- ington and this informal dinner af- forded him an opportunity to talk with them before leaving. Justice to Ald Coolldge. Associate Justice J. A. Van Orsdel, of the United States Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, who started yesterday on a three months’ vacation, called at the White House to pay his respects to President Cool- idge. Justice Van Orsdel is a native of Wyoming and before being ap- pointad to the bench was prominent in Republican politics in that state and elsewhere in the Rocky Mountain section. He told the President that he ex- pects to do much traveling about that section during his vacation and that he intends to tell every one just what manner of man President Coolidge is and to urge his election. the party was put of record as favor- ing a merchant marine under the American flag, “owned by private capital ‘and operated by private energy.” The operation of the mer- chant. ships by the government, which, a8 an outgrowth of the war, owned a tremendous fleet. was not mentioned. But this year the Repub- licans have come to the conclusion that the government must stand back of the ships it now owns and oper- ates until conditions are changed, if the American flag is to be kept in the overseas trade. Plank More Specific. The proposed plank now put for- ward by the Democrata also is much more_specific_than that adopted by the Democrats in 1920, so far as de- claring for the continued operation of the fleet by the government. What the American merchant ma- rine needs more than any one other thing for its further development is HAS 14,000 ROSE TYPES. Census Taken in Paris Municipal Garden. PARIS, June 19.—A recent compe- tion for new roses held at Bagatelle, the beautiful rose garden belonging to the city of Paris and situated in the Bois de Boulogne, has drawn at- tention to the fact that the garden possesses 14,000 varieties of this flower. Leénotre, who laid out Versailles and other roval gardens for Louis XIV, could collect only ten varietias, and ‘the Empress Josephine, seeking to have every kind for her garden at Malmaison, only secured a few over 1,000. The Bagatelle collection is greatly due to Jean Forestier, the city gar- dens curator, who asked all the rose growers in the world to send exam- ples of_ their masterpleces to Paris. the promise of permanency. With the government vessels in a measure kept on the auction block contin- uously as they have been several years, it has been difficult to build up the business and to build up a strong organization for their oper- DEMOCRATIC TREND " STRENGTHENS SMITH AS McADOO SLUMPS (Continued from First Page.)

CHICAGO, June 13.—Forgiveness for Nathan Leopold, jr. and Richard Loeb, confessed kidnapers-siayers of her son Robert, has been expressed by Mrs. Jacob Franks, says the Chicago Herald and Examiner. “There is no hatred in my heart for the boys who killed my son,” she is quoted as having told a friend. She said_she desired to talk to the two youths regarding the last moments of their vietim. The boy's father, on the contrary, bhas expressed the belief the slayers of his son should pay the full penalty of the law.

Bryan who was enroute to New York, stopped here to deliver a lecture. Mr. Bryan refused to discuss can- didates saying his delegation was pledged to support William Gibbs McAdoo for the presidential nomina- tion. He said he expected to be a member of the resolutions committee. “I have for many years favored the abolition of the two-thirds rule in the convention provided that the unit rule is abolished at the same time,” Mr. Bryan said. “At-present the two- thirds rule is_the only protection against the unit rule. “Under the unit raule, forty-six dele- gates out of ninety in New York can usk as they will the other forty-four. The same is true of any state that has the unit rule. In the four big states, New York, Pennsylvania, Tili- nols and Ohio, a bare majority of the delegates can control a minority, amounting to something like 123 delegates. A similar combination could control the smaller etates; thus_a little more than a third of the delegates might be able to nom- inate in spite of a-majority protest.” Mr. Bryan said he thought the Re- publican plan of allowing the states o instruct delegates at large, leav- ing congressional districts to instruct district delegates, “much more fair than ours.” _— AUTO SPILL INJURES 3 GIRLS, 3 BOYS OF D.
