With pageantry apd oratory fationsl Capital staged an impressive welcome vesterday for Frnest W Bradford upon his return home from the econvention which elevated him to the pinnacle of Odd Fellowship in the United States Thousands of enthusiastic men apd women of the fraternal order from the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia paraded down Pennsylvania avenue in honor of their new chief, or “grand sire.” and then assembled tn the Washington Auditorium to ten- der him their formal felicitations It was one of the biggest Odd Fel low demonstrations ever held TWashington. and thousands of inter ested spectators turned out (o witness the enlorful procession of fancifully garbed “brothers” and “sisiers they escorted the grand sire from Tnion Station to the Auditorium Bradford, widely known local patent attorney, was elected grand sire of the Sovereign Grand Lodge in Philadel- phia last week. He is the fourth resi- dent of the Capital to be so honored in the 107 years of the order's existence Parade Is Colorful. The parade along the Avenus from the Capitol to the Treasury and eouth of the White House to the Audi torium was picturesque in the ex-| treme, with a score of brightly uni formed hands to furnish martial music and a succession of gorgeous | fiate symbolizing idenls of the! fraternity. Tt took the “Fellows™ and the Rebekahs inore than an hour 1o pass the reviewing point south of the | Treasury, where Grand Sire Brad- | ford, retiring Grand Sire Herhert A Thompson and other officers of the Soverelgn Grand Lodge bowed th acknowledgments from parked auto. mobiles Following the parade Cgand Sire RBradford received the formal felicita tions of “the home folks.” On behalf of the people of the Na- tional Capital, District Commissioner Rudolph extended the official congrat ulations of the municipality to its| singularly honored citizen, while sev eral high officials of the order veiced the greeting of the fraternity The welcoming ceremonies place hefore a vast throng Washington Auditortum. Rudolph Pays Compliment. Commissioner Rudolph pald high compliment to the order in his official word of welcome. “Your's is at least one organization whose attitude toward humanity is not provocative of any form of an- tagonism or resentment by reason of an interference with the pursuits or opinions of others,” the chairman of the Board of Commissioners sald. “1 realize that to be an Odd Fel- low is to have a passport to the good will, at_least, of all classes of people, regardless of their opinion as to disputes which agitata men's minds and keep men's hearts apart “The Odd Fellows' motto is the Gold- en Rule, with which is measured the duty of the soul and its progress on the way to its reward. Their effort Is to relieve the brother in distress with- out letting the left hand know what the right hand doeth.” Mr. Rudolph, although not himself a member of the fellowship, remarked that his father was. Pressure of bu ess has prevented him from becom- ng afliated with fraternal organiza- tions, he explained. \ Grand Sire Bradford and other offi cers of the Sovereign Grand Lodge iarrived hers at 130 o'clock from Philadelphia. The party was met by %hs grand masters and grand patri- archs of the District of Columbla, Maryland and Virginia, and the pres! dents of the Rebekah emblies of those jurisdictions, who escorted the honored guests to the Capitol grounds, the point of formation for the parade.

One of the questions which fs to- night agitating the Republican lead- ers is how to prevent the wet and dry question from coming to an issue on the floor of the convention. They fear the consequences, the lingering bitterness, If the matter fs debated openly in the convention. They are | striving desperately to draft a plat- | form that will be satisfactory to the | dry leaders from upstate and also to Senator Wadsworth and their nom inee for governor, whoever he muy be. 1t this can ba accomplished they hope to avoid an open break on the floor when the resolutions committee submits its report Herkimer County for Cristman. Another vehlcls for open discussion of the prohibition question may come if Cristman is formally put in nomi- natlon, with nominating speech and | seconding speeches. At the Crist- man headquarters it waa said today that this course probably would be ollowed, although the Cristman dele- gates are (o hold a meeting Monda morning, when they will determine what thehr course shall be.

Others insist there should be a plank pledg- ing the party to carry out the wishes of the voters indicated in the referendum that is to be had on elec- tion day in November. The drys are #illing to emit the word “prohibition” ’rom the law enforcement plank, pro- vided the plank has teeth in it. But they are adamant in their opposition to asserting that the party shall be governed by the outcome of the referendum on_prohibition A victory for the wets in “the | referendum would, under such circum- stances, line the Republican party of the State up with the wets, The drys point out. too, that many of the dry organizations have recommended that the drys pay no attention to the referendum, but bend all their efforts to elect dry candidates for office. hold- ing that the referendum can have no real effect in law.

Then Senator Wadsworth heretoforé has set his foot down in oppoeition to the nomination of a dry candldate for governor, which has narrowed the fleld. Mills Leading for Nomination. Among those most prominently men- tloned for the gubernatorial nomina- tion In recent days have been Repre sentative Ogden Mills, Assistant At torney General Willlam J. Donovan, and President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University. None of them {s hankering for Job. Dr. Butler has already declined to be considered, and today his daugh- ter, Sarah Schuyler Butler, vice chairman of the Republican State committee, served notice on Repub- lican Stata Chairman George K. Norris that her father would not ac- cept the nomination. This leaves in the fleld Representative Mills and Col. Donovan, and tonight it looked as though Mills would be the ulti- mate selection. Thae trend seemed to be In his direction, The drys hold that Col. Donovan's law enforcement attitude would be nullified if he campaigned upon such a wet platform as he would be ex- pected to espouse. They are not de- alrous of the nomination of Mr. Mills, elther, but they would take him In preference to Col. Donovan, although Mills advocates adhering to the result of the referendum Col. Donovan {s & Catholic. Ordl- narily it might be expected that this fact would tend te take votes from Gov. Al. Smith, who also s a Cath- olic. But Gov. Smith is regarded generally by tha Catholics as the man to break down the prejudice which has existed in the past to placing a Catholic in the White House, 1t is pretty well understood that Republican Catholics, 1if Col. Donovan is nominated, will vote for Gov. Smith in November. Everything is being done at this time with an eye to what s to come in 1928, when the presidential fight is on a Al ‘the Security Isa Surety” Mortgages Guaranteed by an Outstanding Surety Co. D T T — declare | Smith is to be the Democratic nom inee if New York can bring it about. > Mr. Mills has been on the horns of a dilemma it is belleved that he would like mightily to run for the Senate in 1928, when Senator Copeland, Democrat, must come up for re-election. If he runs now for governor against Gov. Smith and is beaten he weakens him- self as a candidate for the senatorial nomination two years hence. On the other hand, if he declines to run for governor at the behest of the party leaders this ar he may have a hard time convincing them they should permit him to be nominated for the Senate later It is possible that neither Mills nor Donovan will be nominated, and that a dark horse will be trotted out at the last moment. . May Run Third Candidate. The Christman committee of drys has announced that if they are not satisfied with the Republican fiominee for governor they will put a candidate in the field to run independently along with Christman. They believe thig will help Christman. Dr. William E. Seward is their selection for the governorship In such event. He is a grandnephew of the late William Seward, who was Secretary of State in Lincoln’s cabinet. Dr. Seward was a Progressive canflidate for the As- sembly in 1912 Dry forces, however, are at odds over the proposed candidacy of Dr. Seward. The old_Prohibitionist party. which desires to revive itself in New York, is against this plan.and Lelgh Colvin, natlonal chairman of party, denounced it. He wants to put a Prohibition perty candidate for governor in the fleld, The Prohibi- .tion party, has indorsed the candidacy | of Cristman for the Senate. The W, C. T. U. and the Women's Law En- forcement Committee also have de. clined to participate in the movement to back Seward for governor. Split of Little Importance. While the' wets are laughing at this split in the dgy ranks, as a prac- tical matter the split means little, since If the dry votes are taken from Senator Wadsworth and the Republi- can nominee for governor, it makes lttle difference whether they go to Geward or to a Prohibition party nowinee—the Democrats reap the benefit, At the aleventh hour Senator Wadsworth has lssued a statement poiniting out that as long &s the pro- hibition amendment is part of the Constitution he will be for law en- forcement. He reiterates his opposi- tlon to the eighteenth amendment. although he opposes a return tc the old saloon.

Nominations on Tuesday. The Republican leaders are expected to seek a settlement of the guberna- torfal nomination at a conference to- morrow, It was pointed out tonight that frequently the Republicans have fatled in the past to select their nom- inees for governor until the very time of the opening of party conventions.

He told of seeing stately palm trees three feet In diameter rolling along the streets, striking buildings and being tossed into the air by the fury of the wind, only to fall again with a destruc- tive crash. This city is the most pitiful sight you can imagine,” Mr. Campbell wrote. “Every citizen of Miami lived in the very kingdom of hell for eight hours, and the most of our nerves are still shot. “As I write from the top story of our building T look out the window and see miles and miles of our city where nearly all the buildings were hidden from’ sight by our millions of wonderful trees, now all in lain sight, a mass of caved-in buildings with a tree here and there standing. even then not a twig left, just an ugly hole.” Mr. Campbell 8ai¢ large numbers of that | children were badly injured during the storm.

Dr. W. A. White Links These Subconscious Sketches With Prehistoric Thought. When newspaper correspondents call on Secretary of Commerce Her- bert Hoover they invariably find a pad of paper and a sharpened pencil on his desk. Upon this paper Mr. Hooverdraws curious designs as he talks to his in- Quisitore—designe which might reveal to a psychologist just what he has in the back of his mind as he answers the questions. This drawing has the force of habit with the Commerce Secreta Ap- parently it is an almost necessary adjunct to his thinking processes. The pencil moves in accord with the work- ing of his mind. Most of Mr. Hoover's figures take the shape of triangles. Sometimes a triangle is resting on Its base. At other times there are a series of tri- angles, one within the other. He is fond, of tracing circles within tri- angles. Perhaps it is largely the result of his engineering training. Seldom does Eeulutt)lp drawing, even when a par- cularly puzzling question fs pr ! fore him. Lol Con el Show Mind Trends. Mr. Hoover's drawings, accor | to psvchologists, clearly mamud::g' working ot a well ordered mind which amuses itself with physical action while turning over a weighty problem. Only a few days ago while corre- spondents were discussing with him the possibllity of Government inter- vention to prevent the Dempsey- Tunney fight he drew a picture of & maze which, viewed in perspective, resembles the view an aviator would get from the air of the fight amphi- theater. Below this was the inevitable triangle, crossed and criss-crossed to support a serles of four small circles. Another symbol of the working of the Hoover mind. drawn while he was discussing the radio situation several weeks ago, is plainly a loop antenna, mounted on the usual tri- angular base. Still another, made while he was discussing business trends of the last few vears, brings up a series of straight lines from the base of a triangle to ita apex—what paychologlsts refer to as the pos- itive indication of strong mascu- linity. Mounted on the usual triangle. another drawing is apparently of an Eskimo igloo in perspective, made while Mr. Hoover was discussing Alaska's salmon fisheries nearly three months ago. Unusually Straight Lines. The Hoover drawings are seldom in curved lines. His pencil almost al- ways traces straight lines—or draws circles in groups of three. Dr. W. A. White, superintendent of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, one of the | try, says many outstanding psychologists of the co men of keen intell who handle large problems, amuse their minds with such drawings while talking. The results of their sub. consclous thought. he save, provide | These are examples of what Her- bert Hoover draws on his scratch pad when he's talking to newspaper men. If you are a psychologist they may mean something. interesting problems for psychologists and problems which in the opinion of some associates of Dr. White indicate ciearly that modern subconscious thought coincides exactly with the de. signs worked out by the ancients of thousands of vears ago and which have come down to the present in the form of symbols for thoughts. pic- tured even before a written linguage was known. Mr. Hoover seldom looks audience when he is being Inter- viewed. His face is usually turned down toward his paper pad except for moments when he wants to drive home some thought with pecial forc at his CLUBWOMEN URGE DETACHED HOUSES Mrs. J.
