BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Staff Correspondent of The Star. HOUSTON. June 30.—Gov. Al Smith ©f New York, Democracy’s new presi- dential nominee, has definitely thrown down the gauntlet to the drys. In his| telegram to the Democratic national convention accepting the nomination, he has gone far beyond the party plat- form on the wet and dry issue. He has declared that he will point the way to modification or repeal of the dry laws and the eighteenth amendment, if he becomes President. No opportunity was given the con- wention to express itself on this inter- jection of the dry .issue into the con- vention. Nor did Gov. Smith ask the convention in any way to change its .

In the case of Secretary Hoover, Mr. Coolidge supposes that the Republican nominee will either stop off at Superior on his way to his home in Palo Alto early next month or will do so on his return from California. Brig. Gen. Herbert M. Lord, director |of the budget, will come to Superior early in August to discuss with Presi- | dent Coolidge his recommendations for the budget for the fiscal year begin- ning July 1, 1920. The preliminary estimates of all departments will have to be filed with the budget office by July 15, and Gen. Lord will be here as soon as he will have had an opportunity to study and digest these.

After a trial of several days, a jury awarded Miss McComas judgment of $500, but she asked for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was insufficient. She filed affidavits of two men and one woman who served on the jury who declared :aat some of the jurors seemed pr-judiced against Miss McComas on the im- pression that sho dressed to an ex- treme.

Haskl obably is fatally wound- | ed and Grimmell was wounded seriously as the result of an attack this morn- ing by a colored assailant, who opened fire with a shotgun upon the mother when she responded to a knock at the front door of her home. The assailant escaped. Grimmell told police that the man approached the home early this morn- ing and knocked on the kitchen door. Mrs Haskins, who is the T, responded to receive part of the U ‘tharge in ‘her stomach. Retreat~ to the dining room, she met her son, came in just in time to be fatally shot through the stomach by the man, who had entered the dining room. Upon the firing of the second shot, Grimmell said, Miss Evelyn Haskins, 18, daughter of the housekeeper, rushed in the room from the second floor and retired screaming when she saw the two pros- trate bodies and the smoking gun of the attacker.

The fact that the President did not | give the appointment to Mr. Rover be- fore the Senate adjourned, after all the representations made to him in Mr. Rover’s behalf, is taken by Republican leaders in Washington who have been urging the appointment of James M. Proctor to indicate very clearly that | the President has made up his mind to appoint some other than Mr. Rover, They insist that if the President had had any intention of promoting Mr. Rover he would have done so long be- fore row. The opposition to Mr. Rover is con- fined principally to the fact that the local Republican leaders claim that they have no record of Mr. Rover hav- ing been a Republican before he be- came a candidate for this appointment. Mr. Rover however, contends that while he did take some part in trying to bring about the nomination of Champ Clark, for the presidency, he has never been active in politics, but has con- sidered himsell a Republican for some years. To substantiate this, friends of Mr. Rover have informed the President that he was active in 1924 in the inter- est of the Republican ticket. Mention J. L. Smith. Besides Mr. Proctor, who has the unanimous support of the members of the Republican State committee for the District of Columbia, the accredited Re- publican organization in the District, place is John Lewis Smith, who. like Mr. Proctor, is a former assistant United Srt‘nuws n(um‘\‘ey :\fxu'll who is . | Past nati commander of the Span- Germany Should .
