C. Hiil, wealthy eve specialist I who instituted a search for her aflter her continued apparent absence from the home. He was known to have an 1agonized his mother frequently by sorging checks in_her name and the theory was that he killed her while angry after a reprimand.

By the Astociated Press. LAKEHURST, N. J., August 26.— The United States Navy dirigible Los Angeles was slightly damaged yester- day when a sudden shift of the wind and a rise in temperature caused the stern of the ship to swing from a horizontal to a near vertical position as she was moored to the mast. The ship was taken out of her hangar and made fast to the mast yesterday in preparation for a post repair flight, the first since June 11. Twenty members of the crew aboard the Los Angeles grasped stanchions and held on as the huge bag swung up into the air and then descended to its normal position. None of the men was injured. Lieut. Comdr. Charles E. Rosen- dahl, commander of the ship, said that the only damage was caused by loose equipment which was thrown about the vessel. He asserted that the damage was slight and could be easily repaired. WOMAN NEAR COLLAPSE IN TRIAL FOR MURDER Ethel Willls Views Blood- stained Garments of Her Slain Husband. By the Associated Press. GREENVILLE, S. C, August 28 —Mrs. Ethel Willis was apparently on the verge of breaking down today as the blood-stained clothing of her slain husband was introduced as evi- dence in the murder trial of herself and Henry 8.

Coroner Parks testified to finding the footprints of a woman in the soft sofl at the rear of Mrs. Willls’ auto- mobile in the Willis garage.

Has the Republican party as yet any avowed candidate for the presi dential nomination” Charles Evans Hughes has said that he would not accept if nominated. Herbert Heover has let it be known that he will not permit orsanization in his behalf and that he will not seek the ofiice. Vice President Dawes has made it clear he is not an active candidate. Speaker Longworth has not said ambitions. And Calvin Coolidge has said he does not choose to run. So much for the external manifes- tations. Yet every one of the fore- zoing public men has friends who aie actively trying to persuade other friends that the time is ripe for or- ganization work. which at the proper time shall be transformed into dele gates and convention votes. Hughes Says He Is “Too Old To begin with, there is Mr. Hughes, the contide! and respect 1y all the Coolidge men and is eminently satisfactory to the husi- ness interests of the Atlantic States. Yet he firmly and unequivocally re- fused to be a candidate, stating not only that he too old—he 18 65— but that he was for Mr. Coolidge fivst, last and all the time. Still. the ad mire of Mr. Hughes point out that he said all this when it appeared that Mr. Coolidge wanted the nomination who had been asso- ciated with Coolidge was being mentioned for the presidential noml- nation. Mr. Hughes has the right to recon- sider in view of the announcement by President Coolidge. Many of his friends are urginz him by letter and otherwise to reconsider and at least withdraw that part of hie statement which sald he would not ept if nominated. Mr. Hughes actually led the Republican party in 1916, so the practical politicians would see no ob- jection from that side, especially since he came so near winning. But Mr. Hughes has held the office of Supreme Court justice and has been Secretary of State and had all the honors of public office with all the disadvan- tages of limited income. He resigned ‘rom the cabinet to develop a law prac- tice to provide for himself and family in declining years. There is. of course. always the possibility that a vacancy may occur in the office of Chief Justice 1s Mr. Taft approaches retirement age, in which case Mr. Hughes is the logi- cal man to succeed him. That work would be more to his liking than the politics which goes with the presi- dency. Hoover Opposes Friends’ Plans, So unless Mr. Hughes indicates a wish to reconsider. he may be con- sidered as not a candidate in any sense. Nor is Herbert Hoover. He, too, has many friends who are eager to develop an organization for him, but he is saying no to their pleas so far as getting encouragement from him. He believes the office should seek the man, that nobody should ever seek the presidency and that nothing he could say or do would change the opinions already formed about him. He plans to continue his work absolutely detached from the whirl of politics. He is back here for a few days conferring with de- partment officials before going back to the flood area. Mr. Hoover Isn't happy unless he has an immense problem on his hands, something in- volving constructive plans and crea- tive work. He has been hearing political gos- sip about himself ever since 1919 and is calloused to it now.. He knows that the American people aren’t stampeded into action for or against a man by a lot of clubs and organizations and that where there is a fundamental strength no man’s availability is increased by artificial methods. So Mr. Hoover continues to go his own way, doing his job, hopeful no doubt that he will some day be rewarded for the long years he has given to public service. He is one of the few men who have been here almost without interrup- tion since war times and he still sees the economic problems of the era as requiring the same broad vision which enabled America to assume a world leadership 10 years ago. Dawes Well Liked. Mr. Dawes is well liked by Repub- licans for his forcefulness and busi- ness capacity. Just how far he com- mitted himself to McNary-Haugenism to cause him to lose Eastern States is a matter of conjecture—certainly i1t is the only thing one hears discussed as a possible basis for opposition. But he is sawing wood and saying nothing. And when he does speak, there will be no doubt of his meaning. But he is keeping in the background. ‘This leaves former Gov. Lowden an outstanding Republican and the man who has virtually announced his can- didacy. There are reasons for believ- ing he does not want the office. But he is part of the agricultural move- ment and is being drafted by Western elements, who feel that in him lies the best chance of solving the agricultural problem. He is beyond the age that candidates usually are chosen and also there have been some antipathies st€ red up as between Lowden supporters and Coolidge men. Speaker Longworth is always re- garded in political circles as a pos- sibility-—certainly if the convanton is ruled by politicians his chances are good as any, for he is popular in Con- gress and his ability is recognized by those who know him. But he isn't an active candidate, Can any of these men be nominated without crganiza- tion work? If that happens, a new day will have come in politics, wherein the office really seeks the man. ‘While there has besn no outward development that would indicate any TIGE GINGER ALE! NONE BETTER A. G.

So the discussion is turning to the | type of men who might appeal to the | country in 1925 other than those who have won their spurs in politics. Two | such men are Evans Woollen of In- dianu. who ran for the United States | Senate and made a remarkable race last time, and Owen D. Young, chair- { man of the board of the General Elec- | tric Co., the man who really had much | more to_do with the making of the tamous Dawes-Young plan, which ad- | justed the reparations problem in Eu- | vope, than is generally known. Both men are of the business type but they reflect liberal thought. Mr, | Young in particular has been identified with public movements and is cred- |ited in the business world with tact |and diplomacy in handling the most complicated and intricate subjects—u | training that would stand him in good stead in dealing with Congress. Some day tact in handling men and prob- lems will be regarded as much an out- standing quallification for the presi- dency as business capacity, Mr. Young is very well thought of by the Democrats of New York State and is particularly well liked by many of the groups which are trying to have Gov. Smith nominated. Indeed, Mr. Young himself is known to be fa- vorable to Gov. Smith's candidacy. as are most all Democrats of prominence in New York. New York May Back Young. There isn't the slightest possibility that Owen Young would permit any movement to be organized in his be- half, but it is within the range of possibility that New York democracy might swing its delegates to Mr. Young if a compromise candidate were tnevitable. ‘With the Republicans talking about men of the type of Hoover, Hughes, Dawes and Lowden—each of whom has had considerable experience with the business world—and with the Democrats unable since the days of Grover Cleveland to win any of the Eastern States except when there has been a split in the Republican party, it is no wonder that the possibility of swinging some of these Eastern States by choosing a candidate of the business type is being talked of again, The 1928 campaign may be extraor- dinary In the type of men nominated. This will be due to the fact that radicalism has not the strength it used to have and that stability is a bigger vote-getter nowadays than dis turbance and upheaval. When a con- servative like former Gov. Lowden and Charles G. Dawes can gain the strength they have developed in West- ern States. it is not at all impossible for the Democrats to begin to make inroads in Eastern States. Politic lines are constantly changing, but the drive to nominate Al Smith will be largely a drive to win 'Eastern strength. If the New York governor is eliminated, there still will remain the drive to retain his strength in the East with some outstanding candidate who really can win Republican votes.

LOS ANGELES, August 26.—The name of “Deatb Valley” Scotty, fa- mous in news and fiction by reason of the mysterious flow of his wealth of gold from his desert, found its way into the court records here yesterday in a divorce cross-complaint filed by Hans H.

Jorgensen decided on Christ- mas, 1925, to pay a visit to the Death Valley home of his.wife, but he was invited not to come. Instead, Scotty sent him a turkey.

The President developed a genuine liking for Grebe Lake as a fishing ground yesterday afternoon when he motored all the way from Yellow- stone Lake, and in which he caught 1 four-pound rainbow trout, the largest he has ever caught in his life and sald to be the record for the park this season. This huge trout put upa game fight before the President finally landed him.
