It had been expected that voung Mr. Mills would discuss State finances and State Issues relating to svernment in a learned way. But That he would seek to trace alleged graft and corruption to the gover- nor's doorstep was totally unex- pected, Asserts Poor Milk Is Sold. The charge made by Mr. Mills was to the effoct that skim milk and adulteratea milk were being sold in Greater New York and that the milk inspectors were Winking at the prac- tice, He charged that Gov. Smith bad failed to do his full du in not bringing about a thorough investiga- tion and prosecution of the alleged sales of milk which did not come up to specifications. Tt was a wallop from the shoulder. Mr. Mills has followed it up with other attacks. The result has been to rouse the fighting spirit of the Republicans until some of them actu- ally insist they have a chance to de- feat the idol of the sidewalks of New York, Whatever the result of the elec- tion, there is no question about the change in the atmosphere here com- pared to that during and immediately following the Republican -State con- vention.

He pointed out that the milk story was an old one, brought to light first by William Randolph Hearst and his newspapers, now supporting Mills; that the health commissioner of New York City, Dr. Harrls, had Investi- ated these charges last Winter, and that through proper chanels prose- cutions were being had of any cases that showed milk adulteration.

Smith to take immediate action to throw the attorney general of the State into the case and “bring the rascals to justice,” no matter how high they might be. It was charged that the graft in the alleged milk adulterations would run to $34,000,000 and that the habies and the sick of New York City were getting skim or adulterated milk. When even ‘Tammany Democrats were bLeginning to wonder how in jurious this milk attack was going o be to the Democratic ticket and there uneasir about the situ- ation Democratic quarters under the surface, the governor jumped back to New York City.

Smith, and that a man in whom there was no truth cowd not be trusted either in public or private life. i Never before had any one reflected in any way on the private life of Gov. Smith.

PHOENIX, Ariz., October 29.—In- vestigation of senatorial election ex- penditures in Western States shifted to Arizona today, with Senator W. H. King, Democrat, Utah, who has been designated to condict the in- quiry, planning to hear the first wit- nesses immediately following his ar- rival here late Saturday night. Senator Ralph Cameron, Republi- can, Arizona, who demanded an inves- tigation of reports that a $100,000 fund had been furnished largely, by Eastern copper interests to support Démo- cratic candidates, last night suggested the names of séveral persons whom it is understood Senator King expects to examine. Senator King said he would_continue the sessions through | Saturday night and Sunday if neces- sary to complete the inquiry before the election Tuesday. List of Witnesses, Witnesses suggested by Senator Cameron include Harry Chandler of the Los Angeles Times, Will Irwin, author; §. C. Evans, president of the Boulder Canyon Dam Assoclation; J. 8. Douglas, Arizona capitalist, and his son Lewls, a congressional candidate; E. E. Ellinwood, banker and defeated Arizona Democratic gubernatorial can- didate, and C. F. Kelley of New York, president of the Anaconda Copper Mining Co. 1 Senator Cameron charged that Eastern copper interests had con- tributed to a fund for his Democratic opponent, Representative Carl Hay- den, and that California interests were interested in gaining support for the Swing-Johnson dam bill, which would regulate an extensive Western water development program. The Washington and Oregon ses- slons, conducted by Senator Charles L. McNary, Republican, Oregon, fail- ed to divulge evidence of excessive expenditures.

Senator McNary, who was en route to Chicago today to confer with other members of the committee, said he would stop at Spokane to take a statement from James L. Stone, vice president of the Spokane Gas and Fuel Co. Stone failed to appear at the Port- land hearing, where he was summon- ed to testify in connection with the reported $35,000 contribution.

RUNS TO HOSPTAL TODIEAFTERCRASH Francis Sheridan Expires on Cyerating Table Fellowing Auto Wreck. Bleeding from a gash in his throat received in an automobile crash at Randolph street and North Capitol, Francis Sheridan, 20 of 1805 North Capitol street, ran five blocks to Sib- ley Hospital this afternoon and died on the operating table. Sheridan was injured when the car in which he was riding with Police- man R. H. Knapp, 25, of 338 F street northeast, was struck by a Wardman Park taxicab, driven by Charles A. Ross, 23, of 1323 Columbia road. Knapp was bruised. A woman in the hurt. She leaped from the wrecked taxi and fled from the scene with her face bleeding. She could not be located when police arrived. Taxi Speeding, Witnesses Say. The identity of the woman was not definitely established. ‘Witnesses sald the taxicab was be- ing driven- at the rate of about 40 miles an hour when the accident oc- curred. The crash came, police re. ported, when the taxi, in passing the other machine, driven by Knapp, swerved suddenly, throwing the two cars together. Both machines were going north on North Capitol street. Policeman R. C. Jackson of the second precinct, who had been fol- lowing the taxicab, said it was speed- ing at 60 miles an hour shortly be- taxi also was chine. Sheridan apparently was thrown against a broken pane of glass and his throat slit. Climbing from the car, witnesses say, he first ran into a drug store near the scene seeking first aid. Student Binds Wound. F. P. Berardanci, a senior medical student, of 640 Buchanan street, bound a cloth over the wound, but before additional aid could be ren- dered, it is said, the wounded man started the run to Sibley Hospital. Berardanci followed and assisted Sheridan. Arriving at the hospital, Sheridan immediately was placed on an oper- ating table, but efforts to save his life proved futile. Ross was arrested and taken to the 'second police precinct for investiga- tion. Both machines were badly damaged tin the crash. Sheridan was the owner of an ice and coal business and was on his way home at the time of the accident. He lived with his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Sheridan. “AP” MEANS AIRPLANE IN ARMY JARGON NOW By the Associated Press.

Urges Perpetuation of Simple Beliefs at Washington Cathedral Services. Perpetuation of simple religious be- liefs which have come down through the ages from the_time they were taught by Christ were urgéd by the Lord Bishop of London, Right Hon. and Right Rev. Arthur Foley Winning- ton-Ingram, as the salvation of the world today, at festival services at ‘Washington Cathedral, after he had hallowed and placed in the sanctuary of Bethlehem Chapel a brick from the old church at Jamestown, the first church founded in the American col- onies. Bishop Ingram declared the church to be a part of God's design and said that the unity of the church is a goal toward which all Christians should strive. The very doctrines of Chris- tianity, he said, were first given to the apostles by Christ and are carried jout in the church today. “If you keep the faith of the old church, once delivered to the saints, you will carry the cross thereafter to the ends of the earth,” he concluded. Prominent Figures There. The services incident to the laying of the historic brick were participated in by clergy and laity, including some of the most prominent figures in the Protestant Episcopal Church of Amer- ica, who formed a colorful, and im- pressive procession as they flled through the incompleted apse to the little sanctuary. A gentle rain fell as the services be- gan, but just as the lord bishop was performing the rite of hallowing the brick, so rich in traditfon and sym- bolic of the continuation of the An- glican Church, the sun turned the raindrops to crystal and bathed the crosses in radiance. Rev E.. Ruffin Jones, rector of St. Andrews’ Church, Norfolk, Va., and founder of the Order of Jamestown, an organization for the preservatfon of the historic island, presented the brick to Right Rev. James E: Freeman, Bishop of Washington. Bishop Freeman handed the brick, which came from the floor of the old church, and was worn smooth by the passage of many feet which no longer walk this earth, to the Lord Bishop of London, who set it carefully in place. The brick was placed in a stone of the cathedral which had been hollowed out to recelve it. After recelving the brick, the Bishop (Continued on Page 2, Column 5.
