THE SUNDAY STAR. WASHINGTOX, D. C. SEPTEMBER 97 1928—PART 1. CURTIS ADOPTED NTO AW TRBE Nominee, in Speech, Denies Hoover’s Share in Fix- ing Wheat Price. By the Associated Press. BILLINGS, Mont.,, September Cheered by Indians whose tribes once | chased him with bow and arrow, Sena- tor Charles Curtis, Republican vice presidential nominee, waged the Repub- 22— New Bureau Chief lican campaign in Montana today in| speeches at Hardin and here. | For the first time since taking the stump, the nominee, at Hardin, referred | to declarations that Herbert Hoover was responsible for fixing the price of | wheat during the war, and at Billings | he read a message of President Wilson | stating that Mr. Hoover, as food ad-} ministrator during the war, “at his ex- press wish, has taken no part in the Qeliverations of the committee on ! Whose recommendation I determine | the Government's fair price, nor has he | n any way intimated an opinion regard- ing that price.” Adopted by Tribe. But the high point of a busy day for Senator Curtis was his visit this morning with the Crows, Blackfeet and Cheyenne_Indians. At solemn ceremonies, the venerable Chief Plenty Coos of the Crow nation | waved his scalp stick over the head of | ¢ dear boy” and formally adopted Charles Curtis of the Kaws into his tribe. The ceremony took place at the Hardin Fair Grounds, and Plenty Coos, Who represented the Indians of Amer- jca at the burial of the Unknown Soldier, delivered a message to his braves through an interpreter. He is old and his voice was only a ; but he waved his arr vigorously as he told the Indians, “Any- thing we can do for my boy from the Kaw country we must do. He placed the feathered headdress | on Curtis, who responded with a| speech to his new Indian brothers, thanking them and urging them to re- gard seriously the responsibilities of eitizership recently given them. And e recalled how, as a boy of 8, he was | attacked while with his Kaw kinsmen, by the Cheyennes. “You scared the life out of us then,” Curtis told the Cheyennes today. * am glad to shake hands with you in- | stead of dodging your arrows.” 0ld Days Are Gone. « “The old days are gone forever,” said Chief Plenty Coos. (His name means jenty scalps.) “The Buffalo are gone. 7e are met with new propositions and | new times. We have with us today cne fhom we can safely follow as our siandard-bearer. Anything we can do for you, my boy, we are going to do it. . “We are now a one people. We are going to be one people forever. We live Qnder the same flag. I realize this is probably my last message to the white geople. My days are numbered.” ¥ The Senator, whose mother was & granddaughter of White Plume, chief &f the Kaws, grasped the hand of the venerable chief and his voice was husky as he spoke words of counsel to the Indians. A little later Chief Plenty @oos almost fell to tire ground and he put into a'car and returned to the Crow agency near the spot where the #hevennes and Sioux massacred Gen. | Custer and his band of cavalry more | than half a century ago. “ After the Indian ceremony a barbe- due luncheon was served .at the fair eounds and then Senator Curtis ad- Gressed a throng of Montana folk who had assembled in the grandstand. Am- plifiers carried his voice as he lauded {he record of the Republican adminis- | tration and proposed higher tariff rates | agriculture as one means of alding’ the agricultural situation.

By the Associated LITTLE ROCK. Ark.. September 22. —Back home after 8,000 miles of travel through the inner fortress of Democ- racy, the solid South, Senator Joe Robinson tonight placed the religious question at the top of the list of lssues to be met in the campaign. “Without doubt.” he said upon hi return here, “the religious question is foremost.” The Democratic vice presidential nominee explained that farm relief and prohibition were “very frequently men- tioned,” but that these two questions were shoved out of first place by the question of religion, which has been injected into politics through Gov. | Smith’s membership in the Catholic Church. ‘Throughout the nearly three weeks of campaigning the Senator touched upon this question in every address. Time and time again he quoted from the Constitution of the United States, de- clared it specifically prohibited any re- ligious test as a qualification to hold office, and said that Gov. Smith, as chief executive of New York State, had shown himself to be not a Catholic or Methodist or Baptist governor, but a “great American governor,” who be- lieved in the complete separation of church and state. In speaking of the campaign on the whole, Mr. Robinson said that in both Kentucky and Tennessee both parties were preparing for battle and that the two States would be “sirongly con- tested.” “It appears likely to me that the Democrats will carry both.” he said. “We have a very complete and militant organization and without doubt are gaining ground.” The Senator said that after the Hous- ton convention the “dissatisfaction among_groups of Democrats was quite marked and notable,” but that he be- lieved a “fair survey of the situation justifies the conclusion that conditions have already improved and that nearly all of the Southern States will give our ticket a larger majority than is usually accorded in_national elections.” Both Mr. Robinson and his wife, who accompanied him on the trip, said they were in the best of health. The Senator will rest either here or in Hot | Springs for several days before leaving on a Western trip which will carry him to the Pacific Coast and back.

By the Associated Press. NASHVILLE, Tenn., September 22.— Answering questions by Tenness>e Democrats to explain fis previous op- position to Herbert Hoover, Senator Borah of Idaho, in an address here to- night, quoted from Woodrow Wilson to extol thé Republican presidential nom- inee. Speaking to an audience of abovt 4000 persons. Senator Borah declared that prohibition was the principal issue in the campaign. He read a quotation from former President Wilson in an attempt to prove that Hoover took no direct part in the war-time fixing of the price of wheat. Replies to Questions. Replying to a specific question about his utterance in the Senate January 13, 1919, that “vast monopolies directed and controlled the food administration; Hoover permits them to fix their own prices,” and the further question: “Did |vou then consider Mr. Hoover a pa- triotic American?” Senator Borah said: “Mr. Hoover contended he was doing the best possible under the circum- stances. I contended to the contrary. But I never questioned his honesty or patriotism. Neither did Woodrow Wil- son question it. Herbert Hoover was the man that Wilson leaned on more than any other single individual during the war.” In reply to a question, “Has the Re- publican party made every possible. ef- fort to enforce the Volstead law? Are you in favor of modification of the Vol- Stead law?” he stated: “The Republican party has made an honest effort to enforce the Volstead act, but not the same effort I would have made. 1If I were President today 1 would dismiss at least 17. United States district attorneys by wire, But no one has made enforcement so diffi- cult as Gov. Smith. What could the President do in New York? Backs Volstead Act. “I am not in favor of changing a single letter of the Volstead Law.” Questioned if he considered that the Roman Church would influence or dic- tate the Government under Gov. Smith, he replied: “My opposition to Gov. Smith is so pronounced politically that I will not discuss his religious affilia- tions. If he were a Presbyterian elder or a Methodist deacon and held his present views I would be equally against R . hi “We need all the money we can get in view of the fact that the Raskobs and the Duponts have taken posses- sion of the Democratic party,” was his reply to the question on why he had not insisted on return of the Harry Sin- clair contributions to Republican cam- paign funds. “I would as soon have Sinclair's money as Dupont's.

Geers said Senator Owen paid for about 2,500 ribbons with the inseription, “Owen for President” and delivered them to him. “But I could get only very few delegates to wear them,” Geers sald. “At that time both Senator Owen and myself would have been tickled to death to have had Tammany—or any other support,” Geers concluded. “He wagn't so particular then.

PRINCESS INJURED; CAUSE A MYSTERY ___(Continued_from First Page) today to determine the cause of the pains in her side. The police think her ribs may have been injured. ives Another Name. The princes gave her name to Licut. Holmes as Elaine Hale and her age as 40 years, but she was registered at the hospital as Princess Elaine von der Lippe Lipski. The eye that is discolored is the left one. The bruise on her nose is just above the eyes. What caused these disfigurations the police did not defi- nitely learn. The litigation in which the princess has been involved during the past sev- eral years has been mostly the out- growth of matrimonial difficulties. Divorced from her first husband, Wendell Phillips, she married Prince Nicholas Vladimir von der Lippe- Lipski, who had been a page in the court of Czar Nicholas of Russia. The second venture on the seas of matri- mony also went on the rocks, and she sued the prince for divorce, naming her | sister, Mrs. Gertrude Schroeder of New York City, as co-respondent. Sues for $100,000. She also sued Mrs, Schroeder for $100,000 damages, alleging alienation of the prince’s affections. On September 1 last, the Princess won a point in this suit when the New York court hear- ing the case denied Mrs. Schroeder the right to examine certain witnesse: Twq years ago Princess Elaine was sued for $100,000 damages by Mrs. Lydia Agnes Stoever of New York City, because the princess had denied in a newspaper interview that Mrs. Stoever was her mother. Mrs. Stoever declared she was slandered by this statement, and gave the court testimony designed to prove that the princess actually was her daughter. The court threw the sitit out on the grounds that such a questioning of parenthood did not con- stitute slander. Several months ago Princess Elaine filed suit in the District Supreme Courl against Mrs. Schroeder, Secretary Mel- lon and Theodore Tate, Trcasurer of the United States, s2eking to prevent the payment of an award of $70,000 made by the Mixed Claims Commission to estates in which her sister was a beneficiary. She declared she holds a judgment” for $100.042.60 against Mrs. Schroeder, obtained February 6, 1924, in a New York court. Ousted Veterans. The princess gained widespread pub- | licity after the World War as the re- sult of her hectic experiences with the Carry-On Club, an_association of war veterans to whom she lent her palatial residence_on Scott Circle as a club- house. She had organized the club from patriotic motives, as she explained | and the member took full possession of the big house.
