In spite of the fact that George Van Namee, Smith cam- paign manager. has issued a pronuncia- mento that there will be no brass bands to meet the Smi‘h delegation from New York when it comes in 800 strong Mon- | day night, and that the Smith head- | quarters are to be run on a dignified “good will” spirit, the Houston and Texan greeters have plans for a cordial welcome.

C. T. U. Session Told. Gov. Smith of New York is so_ob- jectionable to 3,700.000 Southern Bap- tists that tney will not refer to him by name, Mrs. H. M. Kendrick of Cal- vary Baptist Church told the quarterly convention of the District of Columbia Woman's Christian Temperance Union today. Speaking at the opening session in the Hamline Methodist Church this | morning Mrs. Kendrick said that at a recent Baptist convention in Tennessee. which she attended, speakers referred to Gov. Smith as “the Governor of the | Empire State” and would not men- tion his name. This was adhered to, she said, in all of the convention's dis- cussions of political questions. Mrs. Kendrick said Gov. Smith has “hypnotized” the Democratic party and that she was “afraid” he would be | nominated for President at the Houston convention. His nomination. she pre dicted, would mean ruin for the Demo- cratic party in the South. Urges Change in Laws. She concluded by urging that the | laws of the District of Columbia be changed to provide a fine of $5,000 and imprisonment of 10 years for persons convicted for a first offense of boot- legging. Speaking on “Our Next Door Neigh- bors,” Miss Frances E. Tredwell urged the development of more friendly rela- tions with Mexico. After her address Mabel Walker Willebrandt, jr., daughter of the Assistant United States Attorney Gen- cral, presented a number of friendship school bags to Mexican children. Gladyz Sabila, daughter of the agricultural attache of the Mexican embassy, re- ceived the bags in behalf of the chil- dren of her country. Mrs. Pollock Presides. ‘The convention was called to order at 10 a.m. by Mrs. N. M. Pollock, presi- dent. After a song service and the pledge to the flag, Mrs. Chesteen Smith offered prayer.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 22.—The Labor party intends to ask the government to consent to a parliamentary investiga- tion of the salary and expepeag of tb speaker of the House of Commuone. It is probable that the government will agree to the request, since the finan- cial burdens of the office are known to exceed considerably the official salary. | The investigation, if granted, may also be extended to cover the salaries of all ministers. The speaker of the House receives a salary of $25,000 a year and on re- tirement s given a pension of $20,000 & year.
