By the Associated Press CHICAGO, July 15.—Eugene V. Debs, veteran leader in the Socialis: party, from the sanitarium in which he is confined near here, today issued a statement in the form of an open letter to the party, accepting the nomination of the recent Cleveland convention as national chairman The letter was a defense of the action of the convention in failing to nominate a Socialist ticket “There are times when |is actually an advance,” he wrote in commenting upon the decision of the convention to support the La Fol- lette candidacy. “let us of the Socialist party get behind this movement unitedly and wholeheartedly; let us enter the cam- paign with all the support at our | conmand and help make it an over- | whelming success, “I am aware of all the objections made to the convention of the Con- | favence for Progressive Political Ac- id to the results of its de- |liberations, but the fact remains that the historic gathering of labor's for- ward-looking forces was in_embryo the American Labor party. It was a beginnini and, under the cireum- Stances, 4 very promising one.” Mr. Debs said he would not be able, ause of his physical condition, to active part in the cam- but looked forward with con- fidence to the eventual restoration of vigorous health “We have learned in movement by practical notwithstanding our ‘no compromise dogma, that we cannot lay down hard and fast rules to govern our party and ourselves under all the exigenc that arise from time to {time in the development of the labor movement,” Mr. Debs wrote as his justification of the convention's de- ion $13,000,000 SOUGHT TO SAVE LENINGRAD ity Faces Ruin if Canals Are Not Built, Buildings Renovated and Streets Repaved. a retreat the Socialist experienc lc ‘ | | By the Associated Press | LENINGRAD, July 15.—Thirteen million dollars will be required to Leningrad from utter ruin, ac- cording to a report made by the Len- ingrad to the state planning commission.

The plan for the rehabilitation of the old capi- tal includes the reconstruction of canals, renovation of ruined build- |ings, preservation of empty houses and the repaving of streets.

BOSTON, July 18.—Eagle boat No. 26, said_to have naval reservists from New York aboard, was reported ashore at Block Island today, on the shore of Great Salt Pond. Radio mes- sages received here said she had run aground early this morning. NEW YORK, July 18—Sixty men are aboard the Eagle boat No. 26, which is in charge of Commander W. W. Burgoyne. The boat, with others of the naval reserve training fleet. left New York last Saturday for a cruise up the north Atlantic coast. Members of the New York State Naval Militia and the United States Naval Reserve comprised the boat's personnel. ference at London with cautious criti- cism. The country has given full powers to Premier Herriot, and the newspapers of all political parties, even the most rabid Nationalists, do not want to weaken his position at London by too wviolent eriticism. Yet the majority of the papers seem alarmed that France's viewpoint is slowly losing ground. The Nationalist press sounded this alarm today, statin “The appointment of an American representative on the reparations com- mission kills the preponderance which France and Belgium had hitherto had on_that commission.” They do not complain that an Ame; ican has been appointed, but assert that the American does not represent his Government or his country, but merely Wall street interests, and that thus the national interests of France are placed in the hands of international bankers. Still' Suspect Germany. Fear is expressed that Premier MacDonald of Great Britain and the New York bankers look on Germany not in the light of her past activities. but regard that country as “a hypo- thetical Germany filled with a desire to fulfill the obligations of the Ver- sailles treaty, which is far from the actual reality.” So far the Lordon proceedings have given the French the jmpression that the British experts are endeavoring to alter indirectly the concessions MacDonald made to Herriot last week in Paris. They want to be definitely assured against a possible recur- rence of the Ruhr adventure. While the Frerch assert they cannot give up freedom of action, information re- ceived today from London indicates the main battle is raging around this question. The British basis of argument is that sanctions should not be taken urless Germany’s default of her ob- ligations is established undeniably by the unanimous vote of the members of the commission, and that only after this has been established might the commission discuss the question of sanctions to be taken. Wants Advance Warning. The French viewpoint is that no power can-renounce freedom of ac- tion and that in order to forestall eventful defaults Germany must be warned beforehand of the nature of the coercive measures which will be taken against her. Meantime, the edi- torials of many of the more popular French papers are directed toward trying to prepare public opinion for the fact that France will be com- pelled to give in on many important points in order to make success pos- sible at the conference. People here are beginning to realize that France cannot live isolated, that the renewal of the late entente with Great Britain depends entirely on the results of the London conference, and that successful results cannot be at- tained unless France makes wide con- cessions, especially with regard to the evacumtion of the Ruhr, and un- dertakes not to take similar measures in the future without the comsent of al; the nations interested im repara- s, 5 g : ! tute Dashés Red Pepper In Deputy’s Face, Then Shoots Him By the Associated Press. HUNTINGTON, Pa., July 18.— While taking two men to the State hospital for the criminal in- sane at Farview early today, Deputy Sheriff Meyer Van Lewen, of Allegheny County, was shot through the abdomen and probab- Iy fatally wounded by one of the prisoners who first threw red pepper into the officer's face. The prisoner who did the shooting is Andrew Jackson, a negro. The other prisoner escaped, but was captured after a seven-hour hunt. Both prisoners are in jail here. The shooting occurred in a sleep- ing car while the men were tem- porarily separated from their handcuffs. Jackson seized the officer’s pistol after dashing the red pepper into Van Lewen's face. HOOVER PROPHECY ON WATERWAY HIT Representative Dempsey As- serts Secretary Has Not Weighed All Facts. By the Associated Press. LOCKPORT, N. Y., July cently quoted statement of Herbert Hoover, American St. 15.—A re- ecretary chairman of the Lawrence commission, that “Montreal and New York may make up their minds that they will some day see a thirty-five foot ¢han- nel to the lakes in operation” was declared today by Representative S. Wallace Dempsey, chairman of the | House Rivers and Harbors commit- tee, to be “convincing proof that Mr. Hoover has not given this question the study which he should have be- stowed on it before expressing an opin- ion.” Mr. Dempsey asserted opposition to the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway plan is not limited to New York and Montreal. “but is wide- spread and based on deep seated be- lief, the result of thorough investi- gation, that the route he (Hoover) advocates would never be used to an extent to justify the enormous ex- pense involved in its construction. The speaker cited action of the Re- publican national convention at Cleveland in rejecting a plank in- dorsing the St. Lawrence route. Argues Against 35 Feet. cuing against a_35-foot channel, Mr"ArIL\‘::vng AFeited the cost of ocean transportation as 3 mills _per ton per mile and of lake trans- portation as 1 mill per ton per mile, and declared the only use of a 35-foot channel would be to substi- ocean for lake vessels. Lake Vessels draw only 24 feet, he said, and asserted entrance of ocean vessels to the lakes would entall deepening of lake channels and harbors. The speaker quoted Maj. Gen. Harry Tavlor, chief of engineers, United States Army, to the effect that costs on the great lakes are low nd “freight is probably handled economically _as _any place in world.” With greater cargo depth larger vessels might be built, which would slightly decrease the cost. he quoted Maj. Gen. Taylor as saving. but the cost of such deepening “would not be returned to the shippers for y years, if ever.” e Dempsey advocated an _all- American canal across New York state, connecting the great lakes with the Atlantic Ocean.

Derickson, director of the Bu- reau of Markets, Dover, Del., reported a general shortage of apple and peach crops in his State. W. J.

By the Associated Press. ‘W YORK, July 18—Police ad- mitted today they still were without @ reliable clue to the identity of the man who last Monday hid the muti- lated body of seven-vear-old Francis McDonnell in a thicket near Port Richmond, Staten Island. A round-up of suspected persons had brought three men into custody. But all efforts to connect any one of them with the McDonnell case prom- ised little reward. A fourth man—a hermit reported to occupy a hut near the scene of the crime—was being hunted on the strength of a story told by Jennie Carlson, seventeen, that he had pursued her through the Wwoods the day of the murder. John Clyde Patterson, forty-two, and Jacob Gottlieb, eighteen, both orderlies at Sea View Hospital, Staten Island, were in jail in default of $10.000 bail each, charged with statu- tazy oflen;es. 3 ey acknowledged membership in the “rattlesnake nest: gang, which held rendezvous in the cluster of woods which marked the scene of the boy's death. Jacob Herman, fifty-year-old farm hand, who had escaped from the Morris Plains, N. J., Insane Hospital, and was captured at Kearney, N. J., has been virtually freed from suspicion in the McDonnell murder. Authorities were convinced that his story of having seen the boy's body in the Staten Island thicket, and of having touched it, was the product of hallucination. Lawyer Shoots Judge.

Senator Weller further told the President that he believed La Fol- lette would poll a vote of real pro- portions from the discontented ele ment among the labor classes. In fact, he thought there would be much more of a so-called bor vote regi tered than ever before in the State. This, however.

DE VALERA, OUT OF JAIL, RECEIVED BY FRIENDS Statement on Irish Politics With- held Until He Catches Up With Developments. Cable te The Stay and Chicago Dal By News. Copyright, lfli.“‘ i DUBLIN, July 18.—The release of Eamonn De Valera was followed by a great gathering of Republicans at their office Thursday. All the well known figures, including Count Plunk- ett, Mme. Marcieviez, Mary McSwiney, Sean T. O'Kelly and others, many of whom lately shared De Valera’s im- prisonment, gathered to greet him. Congratulations were received from members of the party in Ireland and from many American cities. De Valera's first act after his re- lease was to visit the widows and relatives of the men killed in the fighting last year. Including Mrs. Er- skine Childers, Mrs. Cathal Brugha and Harry Boland's mother. When approached by interviewers he de- clined to talk, which was not surpri ing, since he has had nearly a year's enforced ignorance of Irish affairs. His followers during that period have put forward some policies, especially that of the repudiation of the national Toan should their party obtain power, on which the public is desirous of knowing De Valera's own views. Speculation here has been largely concerned with the, question as to whether Republicans elected to the Dail, who have so far refused to take their seats, would now enter parlia- ment, in_pursuance of their declared policy of constitutional action, and endeavor to displace the Free State minority by the ordinary play of par- liamentary forces, in which they would probably be joined by many Labor members. along | his release on bond Received at White Voluble three ag accompanied the Princess Fatima her Visit (o this country and received at the White House, prince ref to answer today. replying to all inquiries with an expressive grunt, while with his shirt pulled up over his head, he lay on one of the most comfortbale iron cots at the station hous Earlie v day had threat- declaring his self- uld involve the United ther world war.
