POINCARE OFFERS HIS BILL ON'FRANC Rate of Stabilization Secret . Until Tonight After Ex- changes Are Closed. BY the Assoclated Press PARIS, June 23.—Without uttering a single word of explanation, Premier Poincare introduced his stabilization of the franc bill in the Chamber of Dep- uties at 5:04 pm The Premier ascended the speaker's rostrum, deposited the voluminous docu- ment in the hands of the presiding official, Plerre Etienne Flandin, bowed and retires The bill was immediately referred to | the finance committee before which the Premier will appear at 11 o'clock to- night, when he will give the official figures of the gold ratio to the paper franc. The Chamber adjourned untl 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Premier Poincare kept his secret of the rate at which it is to be stabilized by the simple process of not deciding it officially until the last minute. He doubtless had the exact figure | fixed for some time, but no one is sure that he will not vary it a centime or two. Poincare himself has indicated that the rate will be about one-fifth of the pre-war gold basis at which the franc long was quoted. This would make it approximately 4 cents. He also mentioned the “gold bul- lon standard,” which means that paper money will be redeemable in gold only in bars for international transactions. “The Prench, however, will get some real hard money for their paper francs— probably 5 and 10 franc silver picces.

JUNE o 1928, EMBATTLED WOMAN DRYS LACK PUNCH FOR HOUSTON JOUSTING Inspiring Leadership of Past Victories Seems Absent—No Dearth of Prohi- s or Tickets. bition Plank: BY BEN McKELWAY, Staft Correspondent of The Star. HOUSTON, June 23.—If the embat- tled woman drys of the United States have actually donned shield and buckler jand embarked upon a determined cru- sade to unhorse the knights who wear the plume of Alfred E. Smith of New York, they might at least have done well to station their best lancers and armed them with their sharpest steel here in Houston, where the cohorts of Smith ride hard and fast. But the camp of the drys here— | “headquarters for all dry forces"— bears little resemblance to a bristling armed camp. There is little about it to make the blood of a wet run cold, or to start nervous tremors up and down his alcoholic spine. There is sadly lack- termination needed to repel a charge of shock troops, and there is small evi- | dence of that inspiring leadership which on past occasions has led the drys to | more than one noble victory. There is depressing contrast, for in- stance, between the confident and rosy countenance of George W. Olvany, grand Rev. Dr. W. L. Robertson of Texas, a Baptist minister, now without a church !who led a small group in the dry head- quarters in prayer at noon yesterday: |a service, by the way, that will be | peated each day at noon during | Democratic national convention. | And there is disheartening con- | trast between the strategy determined | upon by the leaders of opposing sides. The Smith armies are here to get the votes of the delegates who will nomi- nate a candidate and party standard- bearer. The dry forces are here to hold breakfasts, attended by prominent wom- | an speakers and such males as Gov. Moody of Texas; to hold dinners, prayer | meetings and mass meetings. The aim of the Smith forces is positive: the aim of the woman drys is negativé. The Smith folks are interested in delegates; | the dry forces are interested in speeches and pamphlets and .programs. The bat- | tle ground, unfortunately, is a political convention—not a revival meeting. This article has nothing to do wh.h‘ moral issues or personalities of presi- | dential candidates. But there may be some interest in the character- istics of that stronghold of the drys, set in Houston to vent the | nomination of a Smith or of a Reed. and | lank in a tic ge‘;tuhle to the drys of the land.

Mrs. Nicholson has the plank that the organization she heads wishes in- serted in the platform. The nature of the plank is outlined in the resolution that Mrs. Nicholson will place before | the resolutions committee when it meets. The resolution, in part, says that “we ask the Democratic national convention to select as its standard bearer men who are personally and politically dry” and “that the party convention be asked to include in the platform a clear-cut dec- laration for enforcement of law, empha- sizing the eighteenth amendment.” May Drop Her Plank.

The newspaper men predominated in the gathering. Mrs. Nicholson made a short address. Dr. Robertson led in prayer, asking the blessing of God on the American, people, the Nation, the women and others working for human- ity and for righteousness to fit us for the kingdom on earth. The prayer meeting is to be repeated each day at noon. It is to be spiritually participated in by every member of the W. C. T. U. in the world. Tomorrow there will be two services, the first at the Pirst Christian Church, the second at the Richey Tabernacle. Monday morning there will be a breakfast on the roof of the Rice Hotel, at which Gov. Moody of Texas, Mrs. Emily Newell Blair and Mrs. Edward Thurman Smith will speak. There will be a prayer meeting at noon Monday. and Monday has been set aside as a national day of prayer at the Pirst Methodist Episcopal Church, at which Mrs. F. F. Stevens and Mrs. Clement L.

By the Associated Pr HOUSTON, Tex,, against the Smith forces in the Deme- cratic national convention next week was in full swing today in the face of confident expressions from the camp of the New York Governor that the battle for the presidential nomination really was over and all t remained was for the delegates to register for- mally their choice. Bitter-end foes of Gov. Smith in the solid South were sponsors of the move- ment looking to a coalition of candi- date with the hope of holding away enough convention strength to prevent his nomination on an early ballot. They believe that if this could b> ac. complished, the Smith phalanx would disintegrate. g Conferences to this end were inau- gurated yesterday and continued today. Not all of the Souihern States were represented, as Louisana already is in the Smith column and party leaders for one or two of the others frowned upon any movement which might lead to a renewal of the bitier fight of four years ago at Madison Square Garden. Reed Bolsters Hopes. The presence in -the convention city of Senator Reed of Missouri, who arriv- | ed last night from Kansas City, gave | renewed hope of the Southern group that the tide might be turned before the convention opens Tuesday, or at at least before the l‘)dnllnunz ets under way Thursday or Friday. l¥¢ed con{e)r'red with his political ad- visers, who informed him that apparent- Iy only a vigorous and concentrated drive could head off Smith, and that such a counter attack had been launch- ed by party leaders from the South. He gave no indication that he would aban- don his usual practice of playing a lone hand. The anti-Smith forces were furtlLer heartened by a statement issued last night by A. C. Sallee, personal repre- senative of Evans Woollen, Indiaus's favorite son, that the Hoosier State delegation would remain “steadfastly and loyally behind” the Indianapolis banker "untllu; candidate is chosen the convention.” lw’l‘he 30 delegates from Indiana, under that State's laws, cannot swing to any other candidate until released by Wool- len. The Smith oponents said the man- agers of the New York governor had sounted on strength from Indiana in the final drive to put Smith over. Senator George Arrives. Sallee’s statement was issued almost coincident with the arrival, not only of Reed, but also of Senator Walter F. George of Georgia, who has the in- dorsement of the delegation from his own State and is promised delegate support from South Carolina, Florida and Alabama, in addition. George said his State delegation, not only was instructed to vote for him, but that the members individually had said as his name was before the conven- tion. He added that he did not believe Gov. Smith would ever get any Georgia votes for the nomination. ‘With the arrival of George and Reed. three presidential candidates were on the ground. The third is Cordell Hull Tennessee, who hgs been here for ments for in Woodrow Wilson, and ton, publisher of the Tenn., News, Hull issued a statement declaring that he was “decidedly op- posed to any modification or weaken- ing of the present Federal prohibition measures.” Seen Answer From South. While this statement made no refer- ence to that issued recently by Gov. Smith at New York, to the effect that he had not changed his belief that the present hibition provisions should be l.mendex“(’nenda of the Tennessee Rep- resentative arded it as an answer from the South to the New York gov- ernor’s declaration. Desplite the evidences of increased ac- tivity in the camps of the enemy, with orohibition as the rallying point, the Smith lieutenants appeared confident that nothing could stop their man, and said they felt no concern over the situ- ation. They passed the word that the New York governor would have around 700 votes on the first ballot, and that after the convention had been afforded full opportunity to on the candi- of the favorite sons and others. he would quickly muster the necessary 733 1-3 votes. ‘The Smith forces, led by George R. Van Namee, pre-convention campaign manager, are hourly being augmented by leaders from various parts of the country. Among the late arrivals were George W. Olvany, leader of Tammany Hall, and Representative John F. Carew, dean of the Tammany delegation in oivuny. departing from his usual course of silence, declared Smith to be the Abraham Lincoln of the sidewalks of New York and predicted not only his nomination next week, but his election in November. He said the matter of platform planks which New York might present would be taken up at the caucus of the State delegation Monday night. P Madison Apts. N. E.

HOUSTON BY CHARM Convention Motto to Be “Calm, Consideration and Confidence.” BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Special Dispatch 'to The Star. HOUSTON, Tex., June 23.—Al Smith's board of strategy has decided to carry the convention by charm in- stead of taking it by storm. Unlike the Hoover steam-roller at Kansas City, the Smith chariot in Houston will be a machine of magnanimity. It wil neither speed nor run over anybody. and confidence.” It expects logs to be thrown across its path, but its plans call for a relatively short journey to the appointed destination. By the time it arrives there, the Smith managers believe that everybody worth while in the convention will be aboard and that from which only the sweet, if unusual, strains of Democratic harmony can be heard. . Every Smith-authorized gesture and action at Houston from now till the final ballot is taken will be distinguished by these tactics. The first official indi- | cation of them is the knightly manner in which the national committee's handful of contested seats is being handled. As compared to the 70-odd contests settled roughshod by the | Hoover-controlled committee on creden- tials at Kansas City, there are only four lor five delegate controversies in {Houston. A couple of them are in | Pennsylvania, one originates in the District of Columbia and a fourth con- cerns the Panama Canal Zone. committee of the national committee has quietly settled the whole business in advance and the bigger body will ratify the findings as soon as possible. Costello Group Wins. The status quo will be maintained in the first and fifth Pennsylvania dis- tricts, the elected Costello delegation from the District of Columbia will be seated and the Panama squabble will be ironed out by compromise. A fifth threatened contest, concerning the charge that John O'Donnell, Demo- cratic county chairman of Philadelphia County, is in effect a Vare-Democratic softly smoothed over. The Smith captains are undoubtedly in sufficiently strong control to exercise their will all along the line, but they will do so with conspicuous restraint No attempt is to be made to force mat- ters in the Smith interest at any stage. Two important appointments destined to influence the course of the conven- tion from the outset have been public property for a long time—Claude G Bowers of New York and Indiana to be keynoter, and John W. Davis of New York to be chairman of the committee on resolutions. ' Both Bowers and Davis are pro-Smith. The temporary chairman will, of course, not sound the Smith tocsin, when he turns loose the batteries of the theneeforward it will be a bandwagon | A sub-! bi-partisan delegate at Houston, will be.| were advisable. The Secretary of Com- merce’s name- was placed before the convention at the. earliest possible mo- ment, in order that the delegates might “demonstrate” in his honor with Lhe minimum of delay. If there is to be, according to present plans, no such precipitancy at Houston, as far as Smith is concerned, New York is to wait for its name to be called in alpha- betical order and not seek an earlier chance to launch Smith by getting on one of the A-B-C States to “yleld” in the Empire State's favor. If this procedure is adhered to, many of the favorite sons will be cantering in the pre-balloting paddock ahead of Smith. Georgia can trot out Senator George; Indiana can bring forth Evans Woollen; Nebraska can present Gilbert N. Hitchcock; Kansas can introduce Representative Ayres, and Missouri will have opportunity to offer the noblest Roman of all the anti-Smith brigade, Senator James A. Reed. Practically only one candidate, Representative Hull of Tennessee, but Tennessee, if it wishes, could crowd in ahead of New York by a yielding arrangement with another State. As Al's strategists now figure fit, Franklin D. Roosevelt will bring up the rear when he places Gov. Smith’s name in nomination. The scheme apparently naturally and with signal regard for the rights and susceptibilities of rival candidates. If the differences over prohibition and agriculture reach the stages of fights either in the resolutions commit- tee or on the convention floor, it is the Smith program to maintain the utmost possible neutrality. The New Yorker's people would oppose any attempt to commit the Democratic party to out- | right and specific indorsement of the Volstead act, but nothing of this sort, is in sight. Smith will stand, he thinks, logically on an unqualified law enforce- ment platform, and this is a practical- | Iy certain Houston development. What- | ever “amplification” or “clarification” | Smith’s liquor views require beyond that will be made by him personally—first in his speech of acceptance and later in | his campaign addresses to the country. | . Agriculture is easy meat at Houston. The Democrats will not give the Me- Nary-Haugenites all they want, but the farm politicians will get consider- ably more than they obtained at Kan- sas City. They will especially get a | ringing platform rebuke of Republican ‘farm policy that should go far tdward {sool.hlng the sore heads left behind by | the Hoover-Jardine-controlled conven- }tion in Missouri. George N. Peek of Moline, I, arch-priest of the equal- ing foe of Herbert Hoover, is on the Houston scene. He does not expect the | Democrats to indorse the ‘“unsound ‘econumics" of farm relief repulsed by | the Republicans in convention as- | sembled, but he has assuranaces that | some real bread, instead of stone, will | be offered distressed agriculture by the Democrats. . The latter will not go the full limit in appeasing the farmers, at least not on McNary-Haugen lines—but the ism“h ticket will make an unmistak- | able and attractive bid for their sup- | port. The necessity of super-liberal- ality with the rural West is fully recognized by the Smith general staff, | conscious as it is of the wet-religious | and Tammany handicaps under which the New York Governor enters the lists in the Mississippi Valley. ‘[DINNER GIVEN IN 'HONOR | OF BISHOP McDOWELL is to achieve a climax brought about | ported ization-fee temple and uncompromis- |3 MURDER CLUE FAILS IN MBRIDE SLAYING D.
