NTERNATIONAL ORATORS CALL ON PRESIDEN Left to ROOSEVELT HITS Democrat Tells Woman’s Dry Group Governor Is Not for “Nullification.” Branding of Gov. Al Smith of New York as a “nullificationist” by the N forcement League has drawn from Franklin D. Roosevelt, former Demo- cratic candidate for Vice President, a sharp repudiation of the campaign launched by “dry” insurgents within the party to defeat the Smith presi- dential boom. “If Gov. Smith should happen to be the next President,” declared Roose- velt, “his record as an administrator of the laws of the State of New York gives every indication that as Presi- dent he would far more effectively en- force the existing Volstead act (esti- mating it still to be the law of the land) than the present Republican ad- ministration, under which bootleggers thrive as never before.” Mr. Roosevelt made his views known to Mrs. Jesse W. Nicholson of Chevy Chase, Md., president of the Dry League, who had sought his own opinfon of law enforcement as a “pos- sible presidential candidate.” Is Not a Candidate. “I am mnot a _candidate,” replied Roosevelt, “and 1 see no possible cir- cumstances which will make me a candidate in 1928.” The former manager of Gov. Smith at the last Democratic cun\'enflon ook exception to criticism of theN governor contained in W Voter,” publication of the Dry forcement League. In his communica- tion, which Mrs. Nicholson made pub- lic here, he said. “I hope that you will not intimate that Gov. Smithis opposed to law en- forcement. There has been a lot of nonsense written about ‘nullification.’ It goes without saying that Gov. Smith is just as much opposed to ‘nullification’ as you or I are. “I cannot agree with your article in the ‘Woman Voter.’ Neither can thousands of drys who live in the State of New York. Neither can thousands of up-state Democrats, who do not and never have belonged to Tammany Hall. “You know that there is an awful lot of rot talked about New York,” Roosevelt continued. “I have traveled extensively of late and do not hesitate to say that there is more consumption of distilled liquor per capita in most Southern States and in some Western States among the white population than there is in up-state New York, and even in New York City itself. Mrs. Nicholson Is Firm. “I hope that the Woman Voter will continue to seek law enforcementi, but I hope that it will be fair and not make misstatements of fact in regard to New York or New York's gov- ernor.” Roosevelt concluded. In replying to the c-:inmunication Mrs. Nicholson declared that the “dry” Democrats of the country had no intention of letting up in their cam- paign against Gov. Smith or any other “wet” Democratic candidae for the presidency. “Am sorry you do not agree with the Woman Voter as to Gov. Smith's relationship to probibition and law enforcement,” she wrote Mr. Roose- “wet” D. aocrat candidate for the different piont of view on this sub- ject based on what it believes to be his record and on the intense partisan support c¢f the governor by the wettest of the wets and by the self-confesseG nullificationists, “Of course, the wets wish a wet candidate and the drys certainly wish a dry. The majority will win and the Woman Voter is engaged reso- lutely in marshaling a majority for some dry candidate and first for dry delegates, Holds Smith’s Nomination Impossible, ““It regards the proposed nomination of Gov. Smith as not only utterly im- possible, * * * but its effect will be to disorganize and defeat the Democracy in the 1928 election over the wet and dry question and by arousing religicus bigotry, and keep the Republican ma- chine in power. “If the great object was Demo- cratic_success, the promoters behind Gov. Smith would withdraw and make the work of the Woman Voter, the W. C. T. U. and kindred organizations unnecessary. The National Woman's Democratic Law Enforcement League, orsanized here last Spring, has formed brancl.es in practic: strong Democratic State. Pledged to oppose the candi- dacy of any wet Democrat, it has directed its at ks mainly against Gov. Smith and Gov. Ritchie of Mary- land.

LABOR RE-ELECTS Action Is by Acclamation. Signalmen to Lose Elec- trical Colleagues. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, October 14— President William Green and his staff, all uranimously re-elected to their offices in the American Federation of Labor, today made ready for another vear's campalgn in the cause of unionism. That the administration would con- tinue in the same conservative policy that has marked the two previous terms of Green as corgmander of the federation forces was ifdicated. The former Pennsylvania miner and his aides were elected by acclamation at vesterday's session of the conven- tion. Morrison Again Honored. of Washington, D.

Noonan of Washington, vice presidents. After the election, the delegates started a drive to round up the busi- ness of the convention in an effort to wind up the annual sessions this week. Rallway Signalmen’s Fight. This plan was blocked by a heated jurisdictional argument in which the Brotherhood of Railway Signalmen fought bitterly, but vainly, an order to transfer to the Electrical Workers Union all of its members who spend more than half of their working hours in electrical work. This action had been ordered at the 1924 convention. The resolution ordering it placed in effect and the accompanying commit- fee recommendation carried the ulti- matum that failure to comply within 0 days might mean suspension of the brotherhood should the federation ex- seutive council see fit to do so. Union’s End Forseen. Spokesmen for the signalmen pre- dicted that enforcement of the order transferring the men from their broth- erhood might mean the death of their “small and struggling union.” C res, one of the brotherhood's dele declared the Brotherhood would to disband or join “company J.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 14. Ameriean women think Ruth Elder was “very foolish” to risk her life in the transatlantic flight, and of “much less service to humanity than a good typist.” While conceding the courage of the pretty aviatrix, Dr. Katherine E. Davis, soclologist, called her adven- ture “a_mistaken' thing for a young girl to do.” Mrs. Franklin D.

CHINESE RAIDERS SCATTERTOHILLS Shansi Army of 80,000 Re- treats to North After Tingchow Defeat. BY JAMES L. BUTTS. By o - Cavle fo The Star, and Chicaco Daily PEKING, October 14.—After a severe defeat at Tingchow, the main Shansi army in Southwest Chihli, estimated at 80,000, is retreatir ; northwest and southwest from the Hankow rallway and the Fengtien campaign is proceeding sucqessfully, according to official communiques is- sued today. The Fengtien forces are now be- sieging Changting, near the Shansi | railway junction, and expect its fall soon. Fengstien cavalry also has sur- rounded the Shischia-Chuang junc- tion, cutting off aid which was being rushed to the Shansi forces. Snows Slow Campaign. The situation in the northwest is practically unchanged. Fighting still continues southeast of Kalgan, but heavy snows are slowing the cam- paign. The Shansi forces in this area, totaling 10 to 20 thousand, are greatly outnumbered. Meanwhile, Fengtien forces are en- gaged in suppressing Shansi raiding parties, who, co-operating with ban- dits, are endeavoring to create disturbances and hamper communi- cations with Peking. When the Shansi forces began their attack, it was estimated that two di- visions had penetrated the mountain passes west of the capital. One divi- slon now is concentrated at Chochaw, on the Hankow Railway, 35 milcs south of Peking. The Fengtlen troops Chochaw, but heavy reinforcementsy forced the Fengtieners to retreat eight miles. The railway was cut, but now has been repaired, and fighting is pro- ceeding. Strong Fengtien reinforce- ments from both Paotingfu and Pe- king are pounding the city with heavy artillery from two sides, and the Shansi defenders are expected soon to be beaten, Ralders Are Scattered. The other raiding division is scai- tered in the hills west and north of Peking. Oné body reached within 20 miles of the capital, but was quickly suppressed. The other body is scat- tered. The Fengtien forces are ample to cope with the situation, but speedy elimination of the raiders will be diffi- cult owing to the mountainous char- acter of the country. In the eastern Honan campaign se- vere fighting is going on near Kweitch, along the Lunghai Railway, between the troops of Feng Yu Hsiang and the combined Chihli-Shantung army.

Will “Bottle™ Story. “We're going to keep this thing bot- tled up until we sell it,” said T. H. Mc- Ardle, another one of the promoters. “I don’t mind telling you that the fly- ers were instructed to talk to no one until they heard from us. “Any one would be dumb not to know there is money in this, and we would be dumb if we didn't take it. Neither Miss Elder nor Haldeman will say a word untll they get the O. K. from us telling them who has bought the story. We've sent plenty of cables over there making these instructions clear.” Long-distance telephone calls, usually from Wheeling, W. Va., inter- rupted business conferences as Joseph Holloday, one of the backers, “Irept the wires hot” with advice to the men | | hiere not to settle anything until they | had submitted it to him in his vapacity | as legal adviser to the group. “We Deserve Something.” | While McArdle was busy, Cornell| . talked. “We deserve something out of this,” he said. “Look at what we've done for aviation. Why, we's put America on the map with this flight.” McArdle said he would not consider anything less than $150,000 for the flight story, with an immediate cash payment of ,000, but received only a bid of $1,500. The dickering con- tinued with waning interest until last bids which the promoters were willing to consider involved a total profit to them of considerably less than $20,000. An unidentified man who ascribed himself as an independent motion pic- ture producer, told McArdle that he was willing to pay one dollar to seal an option on Miss Eider's services as A film actress. The man said he had never made a picture. McArdle agreed to consider the offer. Reports said two of the larger mov- ing picture producing companies might offer Miss Elder contracts, and the Keith-Albee vaudeville officials assert- ed they had & promise of Miss Elder's services if sie decided to go into vaudeville. Vincent Lopez said he had cabled the aviatrix an offer of $10,000 a week for appearance with his orchestra. The potential return of Lindbergh's flight was estimated at several mfilion dollars, but the aviator turned down hundreds of stage, movie and testimo- nial proposals and began a nation wide tour under the auspices of the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Pro- motion of Aeronautics. LAKELAND STOPS WORK 70 CHEER Grown-ups and Children [fo Snake Dance When Word of Flyers’ Safety Comes. By the Associated Press. LAKELAND, Fla, October 14.— Lakeland yesterday honored Ruth Elder and George Halderman in a demonstration of merrymaking and exultation that matched the joyous celebrations of the armistice. The ecity virtually abandoned fits business pursuits to cheer its two “‘adopted children,” whose flight across the Atlantic ended dramatically with their rescue at sea off the Azores yes- terday. The pair conceived the idea here of attempting the transatlantic hop in which Miss Elder hoped to become the first woman to fly from New York to Paris. Two days of anxiety over the flight reached 1ts peak on the eve of the announcement that the flvers had been picked up at sea. Business gen- erally had been at a standstill since the hop-off and the flight predominated as the principal topic of conversation. Crowds lingered continually in front of newspaper offices. With the length- ening of the hours since the plane was sighted last the throngs increased and walked restlessly about the downtown streets. At last came the Associated Press flash that the flyers were safe. A deaf- ening roar of bells and whistles pro- claimed the news generally. A parade started the celebration. Official Lakeland took cognizance of the event and another parade took* up last night where the former celebra- tion had left off. A snake dance of grown-ups, children and students from Southern College through the down- town section ended temporarily with addresses of prominent speakers when plans were formulated for a public program upon the return of “Ruth and George.” JAPAN MAY REJECT RECALLED RUSSIAN Soviet Envoy, Expelled From Paris, Reported Slated for Tokio Post. BY JOHN GUNTHER. By Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1927. PARIS, October 14.—Christian Ra- kovsky, the Russian Ambassador to France, will present his letters of re- call to President Doumergue probably next week, and is expected to leave Paris for Tokio, changing jobs with M. Dovgalevsky, the present Russian Ambassador to Japan, who is said to be slated for the post here. By this measure the Soviet govern- ment is whitewashing Rakovsky of any personal disgrace and giving him just as important a job, thus trying to save the face of their diplomacy. But it is hinted here that Japan may refuse to accept Rakovsky as persona srata. Debt Negotiations Continue. Meanwhile, negotiations with regard to the Russia debt continue, with the Russians suggesting a pact of non- aggression with France, and it is felt that Rakovsky's removal will expe- dite them. There appears little chance that Rakovsky's recall will be fol- lowed by a complete diplomatic break. On the other hand, powerful con- servative interests which helped ensi. neer Rakovsky's expulsion feel -the victory as a first step ‘and doubtless will continue their propaganda for further embarrassment of the rela tions of the two countries. As pointed out in these dispatches on October 3, the real reasons for Rakovsky’s re- call are three: First, intrigues in Russia itself, with the Stalin group anxious to get rid of Rakovsky, who was Trotsky’s friend, and yet anxious at the same time to keep him out of Moscow, where he might be an embarrassment during the festivities of the red tenth anni- versary. Accounts for Recall Delay. This accounts both for the fact of his recall and the delay by Moscow in recalling him. Stalin would like Ra- kovsky out of Russia for another month. Second, a powerful general anti- Russian campaign is being waged by the reactionary newspapers, alded by the conservative section of the French cabinet. Third, pressure is alleged to have been exerted by the British, especially Husband Saved MRS.

Low tide will come at 8 tonight. But as it will be long after darkness has fallen and Wilmer Stultz, co-pilot of the expedition, who expected to be at the stick as the machine gets away, has expressed a desire to make the start in daylight, the actual time of departure remained admittedly doubtful. ‘Weather reports this morning showed in addition to 46-mile head winds off the coast, serfous fog condi- tions near Newfoundland and cyclonic storms in midocean.

George Haldeman. “Oh,” exclaimed Mrs. Haldeman when informed of her husband's safety, “if there were only golden clouds I'd be walking on them!” Mrs. Haldeman, who saw her hus- band off, praised Miss Elder as the heroine of the advénture. Parents Are Joyous. “You know, my hushand is just the co-pilot. Miss Elder is the im- portant person.” At Anniston, Ala., Miss Elder's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Elder, said their joy was “unbounded.” News of the rescue set off a train of civic enthusiasm.

STATE DEPARTMENT ASSAILED (Continued from First Page.) i ers did consult with the Treasury as to whether loans abroad would em- barrass the Treasury in its own pro- gram. Senator Glass, who then was the Treasury Secretary, discloses that in some instances an affirmative answer was given and the loans were withheld. However, the Virginian takes the position that this was quite different from bankers making application to the State Department for approval of their loans to foreign governments. His contention is that by approving a loan the Government places upon it the stamp of its moral approval. Glass Comment Withheld. Comment at the State Department on the attack by Senator Glass was withheld, although there were indica- tions that Secretary Kellogg had given attention to the Senator's remarks. The department did call attention, ver, to a statement issued March , by Secretary Hughes which said that during the preceding Sum- mer President Harding and certain | cabinet members had discussed with a | group of American investment bank- {ers the Government's interest in flo- | tation of foreign bonds in the United States and expressed to the bankers the desire that the Government be adequately informed of such trans- actions in advance of their consumma- tion. The bankers . ssequently expressed their concurrence in that program, but Secretary Hughes found it neces- sary to issue the statement in March, 1922, as the desirability “of such eo- operation does not seem sufficiently well understood in banking and in- vestment circles.” Not Required to Consult. The conclusion of the statement pointed out that bankers could not be required to consult the State Depart- ment and added: “It (the State Department) will not pass upon the merits of foreign loans as business propositions, nor assume any responsibility whatever in con nection with loan transactions. Offers for foreign loans should not, therefore, state or fmply that they are contingent upon an expression from the Depart- ment of State regarding them, nor should any prospectus or contract re- fer to the attitude of this Government. “The department believes that in view of the possible national interests involved it should have the opportu- nity of saving to the underwriters concerned, should it appear advisable to do so, that there is or is not objec- tion to any parucuur issue.” BORAH IS LOOMING AS FINAL CHOICE OF PROGRESSIVES (Continued from First Page.) along with President Coolidge. Regu- lar leaders of the party were about to place him in nomination, but word went from Washington to the conven. tion city, Cleveland, that Senator Bo- rah positively would not accept the nomination. The Idaho Senator has taken an ontstandinz position as a defender of the Constitution, and against any nullification of the eighteenth amend- ment throuzh legislation, such as that asked in the New York referendum last year. He joined in a debate on the question with President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia Univer- sity, an outstanding wet, last Win- ter. The debate, which was held in Boston, was widely heard and widely commented upon. If he were the Republican nominee for President and Al Smith of Nétv York, or any other wet Democrat, the nominee of the Democratic party, the wet and ;lriv issue would be pretty squarely joined. Snpporu Economy Program. The administration’s economy pro- ®ram has had no stronger supporter that Senator Borah. He has been favorable, too, to the prompt payment of the pubHc debt, rather than the immediate reduction of taxes on big business and wealth, leaving the payment of the debt a burden on the tuture. Whether Senator Borah will him- self fall in with & plan which 5 to his leadership of the progressive sentiment in the Republican party in the contest for the presidential nomination remains to be ¢een. The matter has not vet progressed. to that stage. The Progressives are still rallying to Senator Norris, Senator Borah among them. But the demand for Borah leadership is likely to be- come stronger, it is sald, as time goes on. Disagreement. From the Boston Transcrigt. “So the Browns have had a dis- agreement and separated.
