PARIS, August 23.—While ¥ is true that tea drinking has in- creased enormously in France in recent years, this adoption of the English habit does not fully ac- count for the immense consump- tion of this commodity reported from the French seaside resorts. The mystery of what becomes of the excess has been solved by the discovery that the fair bathers are using it to “evenup” the tan of their skins when sunburned in pattern effect from disporting on the beach. Baths of strong tea are said to import the desired “tan” to the skin where it has not been exposed to" the sun. - SPURT OF KU KLUX |AS NATIONAL ISSUE IN CAMPAIGN ENDS (Continued from First Page.) | well make *his statement, it he is to make one, regarding the Klan when he delivers his address at the national convention of the-Holy-Name Society, which-is to meet in Washington Sep- tember 21. This might be consid- ered, however, too evident a bid for Catholic support. While the Democratic convention was still underway, and the religious Klan issue had caused tremen- dous hostility In the ranks of the party, Democratic leaders admitted that they did not intend to “let the Republicans get away without tak\ ing a stand one way or another on the Klan. They insisted in private conversation that President Coolidge “would be smoked out” on the Klan question before the campaign had gone far. As a matter of fact, Sena- tor La Follette smoked out the Demo- crats, and in order to smoke out Mr. Coolidge the Democratic nominee had first to abandon the party platform, which did not name the Klan. Count on Solid South. The Democrats in making their pronouncement against the Klan have counted on carrying the solid South in any event, though the Klan is strong in a number of the Southern States. It may cost them votes, how- ever, in some of the border States where the Klan is strong and where the Republicans cast a_ considerable vote, as in Tennessee, West Virginia and Kentucky. In the North the Klan has been stronger among the Repub- licans than the Democrats. Senator Underwood, by the way, must feel that his stand against the Klan has been vindicated, In view of the statement now made by the Dem- ocratic nominee for President. Clem Shaver, Democratic national committeeman, returned to Washing- ton vesterday, bringing with him re- ports of great Democratic activity in the West. They are betting, he said, in Chicago that Coolidge will carry a State west of the Mis: Mr. Shaver said that the Davi: ticket is growing stronger and stronger in the West and Middle West and that row the organization for the campaign has been completed in the States and that the campaign is progressing very favorably to the Democrat Pat Harrison Back. Senator Pat Harrison of M Sippi. who has just been overwhelmingly renominated for the Senate, returned also from the West, where he went as chairman of the notification com- mittee to announce to Gov. Bryan that he had been nominated for the Vice Presidency by the Democratic national convention. Commenting whimsically on the political situation, Senator Harrison said: “President Coolidge, I see in the newspapers, made hay yesterday on a Vermont farm. This is the first time in 20 years he has made hay, and I venture to say that it was because he saw the Democratic storm about to break.” Announcement was made last night that Col. Robert N. Harper of this city will be director of the finances of the Democratic national committee in the District of Columbia. The an- nouncement was made by Jesse H. Jones, director of finance of the na- tional committee. In announcing Col. Harper's appointment, Mr. Jones said \ “Col. Harper will have full charge, as director of finance for the Demo- cratic national committee for the Dis- trict of Columbia of collecting funds to defray the expenses of the Democratic committee in. the coming election. I would like to add that the chances for success at the November election are as good as we could want them. They depend, of course, wholly and entirely upon the abllity of the campaign committee to get the cause of Democracy, the things that John W. Davis stands for and the nominee himself well before the voters of the country.” Col. Harper is one of the original Davis-for-President men in the Dis- trict. Three months before.the con- vention, Col. Harper made the sug- gestion and prediction that the Demo- cratic_ticket would be John W. Davis and Gov. Bryan of Nebraska, in the order named.

By the Associated Pre LOS ANGELES, August 23.—Kid McCoy, former prize fiighter, indicted for the murder of Mrs. Theresa W. Mors here August 12 last, stumbled into a jewel smuggling plot and a killlng that landed him behind the bars, but McCoy knows nothing about either, according to a statement tonight by R. D. Knickerbocker, attorney for the prisorer. The jewels in the Mors collection, some of them already in federal and county custody, and a number of others still missing. most af them de- clared by United States Government investigators to have been smuggled, are to bulk large in McCoy’s defense, his_attorney said. Federal officers admitted they still were trailing the missing dlamonds, emeralds and rubies which they de- clare completed the Mors collection, but concerning which Albert A. Mor: divorced husband of the dead woman, says he knows nothing. Denles He Wax Involved. While the county officers are con- centrating on evidence relative to the indictment of ‘murder against M Coy and federal officers are hunting the missing precious stones, the de- fense, grouping the two angles under one head, is outlining a case that will tend to show that the killing of Mrs. Mors and the smuggling of the jewels were part of the same plot and that in this plot McCoy had no role. The former fighter's attorneys are alsc building confidently on the sworn testimony before the county srand jury of Mrs. Iva Martin, apart- ment house neighbor of Mrs. Mors, who said she saw one of two men running from the Mors apartment after the shot was fired that killed Mrs. Mors and that he was not McCoy, but Mors. Mors’ AlibL County investigators discount this evidence with the argument that Mr. Mors had set up an airtight alibi for the night of the killing and Mrs. Martin must be mistaken Open Battle Tomorrow. The legal battle is to open Mon- day in Judge Charles S. Crall's court when McCoy comes to plead to the murder charge, three accusations of assault with intent to murder, and four of robbery growing out of his shooting orgy ‘in an near the Mors antique shop the day Mrs. Mors’ body was found in her apartment with a bullet in the brain. The McCoy defense announced it intended to make an important motion Monday before the prisoner enters his plea, and to support it, has summoned Frank Heron, acting foreman and G.

NEW YARK, August 23.—The Cen- ZAYAS WITHDRAWS FROM CUBAN RACE Island President Reiterates Former Views Against Cam- paign for Re-Election. By the Associated Press. HAVANA, Cuba, August 23.—Presi- dent Zayas today announced his with- drawal from the race for President of Cuba. President Zayas in announcing his withdrawal as the Popular party candidate reiterated that more than a year ago he had stated he was op- posed in principle to re-election of a President, but that if it could be shown that the people wanted him he would stand for re-election. Since his nomination, by the Pop- ular party he added he Rad sought to reform the ‘“national *league” of Populars and Conservatives which elected him four years ago. This, however, failed when the Conserva- tives nominated former President Menocal, the man who engineered the “league” that elected Zayas in 192 The renunciation of President Zay as leaves the field to Gen. Menocal and Gen. Gerardo Machado, the latter the Liberal candidate and the camps today were full of speculation as to possible pact between the Popular and other parties that might give the Popular party guarantees of election of certain senators. President Zayas in closing his formal statement also said that with three presidential candidates in the ficld, one of them seeking re-election, that meriories of former campai for re-eclection disturb the pres. “enviable situation of Cuba’s national | life,” and named this as one reason for withdrawing. He also pledged himself to Cuba’s good and his party’'s welfare whenever he might be called. upon to aid and extended his thanks to his followers for their efforts in his behalf. — e A new position, that of president, has been created in connection with the firm of Harland & Wolff, fa- mous Belfast shipbullders, and con- ferred upon Lady Pirrie, widow of the late Lord Pirrie, who was the head of The firm.
