ROME, Seotember 28.—While con- | sidering the Anglo-French agreement as being primarily directed against the United States, Italian publicists like Signor Gayda of Rome, editor of the Giornale d'Italia, who often reflects government views authoritatively, de- clare that it is almost equally inimical to Ttalian interests. Signor Gayda’s leading editorial says today: “American preoccupations may well be Italy’s also. The naval and political positions of the two countries are obviously different, but there are points of contact and affinities of inter- est suggesting the possibility of a com- mon attitude on the part of the two countries. Certainly these similarities do not escape the attention of the gov- | ernments at Rome and Washington.” The Journal then reaffirms the Italian | position regarding disarmament, name- ly that any reductions must apply equally to land, water and sky and that naval disarmamept must affect | every type of vessel, not simply certain categories. Anti-French articles, which had sub- sided for a time, now are becoming more numerous and forceful in the ‘Italian press and the British are com- ing in for more severe discussion than formerly.. BYRD OFF ON FIRST LEG OF POLAR TRIP Leaves Gotha mTonight on Way to Coast—Sailing Set October 6. { By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 28.—Comdr. Richard E. Byrd leaves New York to-| night on the first leg of the long land and sea trail that will take him to the| Antarctic continent, where he and 80 | comrades expect to spend the next two years. Byrd is going first to his home in Boston, whence he will take a train for San Pedro, Calif, to catch the whaler, Larsen for the voyage to Dunedin, New | Zealand, rendezvous of the expedition. | ‘The Larsen, carrying four airplanes and the aviation personnel, is now on her way from Norfolk to the California port, and is expected to leave there October 6. { ‘The ice breaker City of New York,| flagship of the Byrd flotilla, was in the | Pacific about 500 miles southwest of Panama today, chugging along under sail and steam on her long, slow trip to the meeting place. The freighter Elea- | nor Bolling was 1,200 miles this side of Panama, while the steamer Ross, a mother ship for whalers, was expected | to reach the Canal in a few days. She 1s carrying the expedition’s 160 dogs and their five drivers. The expedition hopes to reach the Bay of Whales on the Ross Sea, ice barrier of Antarctic, where the perma- nent base is to be established, by the! middle of January. The exact time of | arrival, Byrd explained today, is proble- | matical because of the uncertainty ef | conditions in the heavy pack ice| through which the City of New Yorki and the Larsen, carrying the men and | supplies from Dunedin, must force their way. The four airplanes may not see much service during the first half year bLe- cause the expedition reaches Antarctica too near during the six-month polk: night. This interval will be spent in establishing the base camp and pre- paring for the scientific work which is a major part of the Byrd program.

Ride in Closed Carriage. The couple left the imperial palace together at 10:30 o’'clock in a horse- drawn closed carriage, still wearing their ancient ceremonial robes., The princess’ outer kimona was a brilliant nile green. A gold half crown sur- mounted an elaborate coiffeur of the medieval court. Crowds lining the streets were com- posed mostly of schoolgirls. The only escort was a platoon of cavalry. The couple were driven to the prince’s an occidental | style dwelling near the imperial pal- ace, which is to be their residence. This evening the couple returned to the imperial palace, this time in mod- ern dress, to receive the congratula- tions of the Emperor and Empress. | The princess appeared in a Parisian gown and the prince in the military uniform of the guards division. The foreign diplomatic corps had no share in today’s ceremonies. The va- rious Ambassadors and Ministers and their wives will take part in the later festivities to celebrate the nuptials probably as guests at a state banquet to be given by the Emperor at his Akasaka Palace. This will take place after the Prince and Princess have re- turned from a tour of certain imperial tombs to further report their union to the spirits of the departed. Long Sieries of Ceremonies. Today's ceremonies had been pre- ceded by a long series in preparation for the event. The most important of these were the exchange of betrothal gifts on September 14 and that of Wed- nesday when the Prince formally noti- fied the family of the bride of the date selected for the wedding.

WILL SEEK REPEAL OF BORLAND LAW Corporation Counsel Bride to Ask Paving Cost Relief Next Session, Repeal of the Borland law, under which abutting property owners are as- sessed one-nalf of the cost of street sur- facing, will be sought at the coming session of Congress by Corporation Counsel William W. Bride. Bride has already submitted to the Commissioners an opinion that prop- erty owners cannot be legally assessed for street pavement in two payments. In laying concrete streets surfaced with sheet asphalt the practice is to make a concrete base and let that serve as a complete pavement until the surface de- teriorates, when an asphalt coating is added. Under the Borland amendment one-half of the cost of each operation is levied against abutting properiy.

Denies Ulterior Inte: ns. Besides affirming Japan's unwilling- ness to accord diplomatic recognition to a tresty-breaking China, Count Uchi- da vigorously protests that the Japanese sovernment and people have no ulterior ‘intentions of any Kind toward China. They wish it well, he declares. They consider, as the United States does, that Manchuria is an integral part of sov- ereign Chinese domain. “But we have definite, legalized rights in China,” Count Uchida insists, “and we are_de- termined to safeguard them.” i “For what reason,” the Japanese statesman was asked, “did Baron Hay- ashi, acting as a special Japanese en- voy, recently counsel, Chang Hsuieh- Liang, the new ruler of Manchuria, to Dostpone the unity of the province with Nationalist China?” Sees All Treaties Involved. “Baron Hayashi,” replied Count Ughi- da, “was an old friend of the young| ruler’s late father, Marshal Chang Tso- | Lin. He went to Mukden primarily as | a mark of respect and to attend the | marshal’s funeral. In discussing Man- | churia’s future relations with China, | Baron Hayashi simply talked along the | same lines as the Japanese consul gen- eral at Mukden has been talking to the Manchurian authorities. “Why does apan object to an im- mediate union of Manchuria with the Test of China, Count Uchida 'For a simple reason,” was the an- swer. “If the Nanking government sees fit to invalidate the Sino-Japanese com- mercial treaty, we do not know but what its next act may be to declare all treaties abrogated. ~ Japan got the South Manchurian Railway, for exam- ple, by treaty with Russia at the Ports- mouth conference. Nanking might some day make up its mind that it had a right to denounce that treaty and sub- sequent agreements with Ohina by which vital Japanese interests there have been safeguarded.” “Does Japan set up any sort of pretension to special rights or interests in Manchuria, which she denies to the | United States or any other power?” Claims No Special Rights. “None whatever,” was the prompt response. “It is well known that owing to our proximity to China, our three | wars on her soil, and for other obvious | reasons, Japan has an immense stake in China, and especially in the province of Manchuria. Our chief interest is in the preservation of stable conditions there, under which our economic inter- ests may continue to prosper. We do not wish to see any transplantation to Manchuria of the chronic turmoil and unrest which have in recent years pre- vailed in southern and central China. Our interest is in a pacified, an orderly and a prosperous China. Any China that denies our legitimate rights in Manchuria would sooner or later pro- voke a situation that might easily be- come grave.” “Does present-day Japan fear the possibility of trouble with Soviet Russia in or over China?” “That depends on the kind of govern- ment that prevails in Russia,” Count Uchida said. “At present the Soviet government s restlessly at work in spreading Communist propaganda. not only in Manchuria, but in Japan itself. 1f some reactionary spirit should one day obtain the upper hand at Moscow, we might have to confront a serious menace on the continent Nationalist China, i sanctity of treaties, seems to have af out of the Soviet notebool Hits Lack of Leadership. Ripping into his Republican opposi- tion, Gov. Smith told a crowd that jammed into the St. Paul Auditorium last night that there was an “absolute lack of vigorous leadership” at Wash- ington and had been for the last seven and-a half years. As a result, -he as- serted, Republican platform declara- tions on farm relief and inland water- | ways have amounted to nothing more than “glowing promises.” On the other hand, he declared, the Democratic platform “hits the nail squarely on the head” on these sub- jects, and it is from this party that real relief must come. The nomince charged into Chair- man Work of the Republican nation- al committee, Secretary Jardine and Senator Nye, Republican, North Da- kota, on the farm relief score., and Guoted a statement by Senator Norris, Republican, Nebraska, issued after his best defense from criticism of that address. Tackling this question first, after de- claring that lack of leadership at Wash- as Shipstead, Farmer-Labor, Minneso- td, and the. late Senator La Follette to’ “bolt” the Republican party, Gov. Smith repeated that he stood for the principle embodied in the McNary-Hau- gen bill for handling surplus~ crops. led “the Docto He referred to him as “the doctor” and said he did not know whether he spoke for himself, for the national committee or for the Republican pres- idential nominee, when, in commenting on the Omaha speech, he said the gov- ernor had “enunciated a principle which he says he finds in the McNary-Haugen bill, but which is not the one over which the battle has been foughtsfor the last four years.” “What's the matter with the doctor?” | Smith asked. “T'll tell you. The doc- tor is unable to distinguish between the principle and machinery for making the principle operate. He has tried to put two principles into one thing.” Turning to a speech by Mr. Jardine at Riverhead, N. Y. iast week, the governor seized on the Secretary's re- mark that “for several years we have managed to get the farmers a pretty good price for wheat and potatoes.” “A good price for wheat,” Smith postulated. “The Secretary is doing a little Moran and Mack stuff. A good price for wheat—a price less than the cost of production.” Takes Rap at Nye. The nominee took a rap at Nye for lining up with Hoover on farm’ relief while at the same time favoring the McNary-Haugen bill, and declared his argument and that of Chairman Work is “completely annihilated” by the Nor- s comment on the Omaha speech hat Gov. Smith proposes to take care of the surplus and charge it to the preducer.” “All three gentlemen that I have quoted.” the governor said, “are mem- bers of the Republican party. The dif- ference is that Senator Norris looks at it through the big, broad, liberal pro- e way: the other two men look t through the crude and narrow little peephole of stand-patism.” As for inland waterway legislation, the nominee said Republican effort along that line “runs parallel with the farm problem, and it could be offered tonight as another exhibition or an- other example of the glaring need of vigorous leadership in Washington.” ‘Taking up the 1920 Republican plat- form, the governor said it mentioned a broad and comprehensive plan of in- land waterway development, but noth- ing happened. The same inaction, se said, followed 1924 declarations for “the most feasible waterways from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico,” and now in 1928 he quoted the Republicans as favoring, as & measure of relief to agriculture e continued development of inland water- ways. There was laughter when e ed: T think what they meant to say was a continuance of the amount of tevelop- ment you have already got.” Belittles Flood Aid. Challenging another Republican con- tention that the Washington adminis- tration during the last four years in- itiated a systematic development of the ssippl, the nominee read the title of an act “for the control of floods on the Mississippi and its tributaries. and for other purposes,” and said this was the only legislation he could find m conection with inland waterways as hav- ng been enacted. “The other purpose” he continued with reference to the title, “is a direc~ tion to the engineers (o prepare a plan. “So while there's life there's hope,” he added, ‘amid applause that fairly rocked the auditorium.

A confessfon taken by police of the homicide squad after hours of griiling yesterday morning, so revolting in its details that the inquest room was clear- ed of women during its reading, was presented to the jury.

Smith blamed in_his confession his unhappy maried life for the past 13 vears and what he described as an ab- normal physical _condition, such as nervousness, complete loss of sight in one eye and partial loss of sight in the rela- slaying of his daughter, After the confession had been read to the jury by John Flaharty, of the police homicide squad, Smith arose and verified his statement to the coroner. Smith also attempted to attack the tes- timony of John C. Steele, who for two or three days preceding the tragedy had been a member of the Smith house- Thold. Made Sure of Death.

Then he said he got a mirror and held it before her mouth.

Smith repeated the action of holding his hands over his daughter's nose and mouth until he was satisfied her life had been completely snuffed out. Smith branded statements made by Steele on the stand as lies. He was ordered to sit down, and it could not be learned what statement Smith took ex- ception 1. On the stand Steele said he was a chauffeur, but had not worked in the last month. He had known the Smith family for 10 or 12 years. He said Smith told him at 11:30 Wednesday morning when he called at the house that Bes- sie was in, but was dead, and that he immediately notified the police. That was all the testimony he gave. A preliminary report from the Health Department chemists analyz ing the contents of the Smith girl’ stomach, read at the inquest of Dr. Joseph D. Rogers, showed no trace of poisons. Further analyses will be carried on by the chemists to deter- mine the nature of the entire contents of the stomach. The mother of the slain girl, Mrs. Bessie L. Smith, did not attend the i ques! t, in mourning, stood outside the nmrorgue. She was almost hyste! cal and seemed to be suffering under the ballucination that her daughter was alive and inside the building.

NEW YORK 0cT. 13 'Date of Sally Into Smith| | Stronghold Changed—To | Speak at Garden. | BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Herbert Hoover's invasion of the | Smith stronghold, New York City, is to take place Octobér 13, instead of | | October 17, as originally planned., and | his address will be delivered in Mad- | ison Square Garden and not in Car- negie Hall. The Republican nominee is free of | tober 13, however, falls on Saturday, | not Friday, and the Madison Square Garden in which he will speak is not the old garden in which the Democratic | hopes were crushed four years ago at the time of the Democratic national convention. The new garden is located much farther uptown and seats about | 20,000 persons. . At the same time that the announce- ment of the change in plans for the Hoover invasion of New York was made, it was reported that President Coolidge ! was about to take steps to aid the Re- publican national ticket in his: own home State, Massachusetts, which is re- \garded as a real battleground. It is un- derstood the President will send today a message to the Republican State con- vention, which is meeting in Boston to- morrow, in which he will strongly urge the voters of the Bay State to go to the | polls and support the Republican ticket. | The President, it is believed, may un- dertake Lo do something more, than this | for the Hoover-Curtis ticket at a later | date.

It comes a week later | than his address at Elizabel n, Tenn., and the candidate probably Wl be guid- ed somewhat in writing his®New York address by the events of the campaign. New York is a doubtful State and up {to the present time the Smith forces appear to have the best of it in that | State. Some Republican leaders re- cently have described New York as a 6-t0-5 bet in favor of Smith. But they are working hard to overcome the odds against the Republican candidate and hope to do so. The change from Carnegie Hall to| Madison Square Garden for the Hoo- | ver New York address has been made because of the demands for greater seating capacity to accomodate the crowds that will come to hear the Re: | publican nominee in Greater New York. The meeting and address in New York. it was explained today, is; to be under the auspices of a long list of Republican clubs and organ- izations. including the Union League, the National Republican Club. the Na- tional Wome!

Oc- | COOLIDGE APPEALS. FOR BAY STATE AID IN'HOOVER'S RACE President Makes First Defi- nite Plea to Voters in Message. PAPER WILL, BE READ AT BOSTON TOMORROW Decision Regarding Campaign Speech Delayed—Leaders Visit White House. BY J. RU LL YOUNG. President Coolidge will make his first | definite appeal to the American elec- torate in behalf of Herbert Hoover in a message to be read tomorrow in | Boston, before the Republican State | Convention, This paper, which has been very carefully prepared by the President, |and the greater portion of which was | writeen by him cruising on the yacht | Mayflower last Sunday, was sent to Bos- | ten today. In it he will not only urge | the election of the Republican national ticket, but also that of his party's ticket in Massachusetts. 4 The President. however, has not yet made up his mind as to the time and place for the delivery of a campaign speech. It is believed by those about him that he will reach a_conclusion in the matter very shortly. He is knowr to have discussed the matter of # speech with callers during the past few days and he gave the impressian that he is decided to make at leait one address, but is withholding ary announcement until he has determind the most opportune moment and sec- tion in which to deliver it. The President is understood to huve given the impression to those with whom he has discussed this subject that he would prefer to make his speech app:ar as casual as possible. In other woris, he would consider it more fitting s nd possiblv more effective if the spe:ch were delivered at some particylar oc:a- sion or gathering that might rot be «n- tirely political in its aspect. Although it has been generally assumed that he would select Massachusetts, his hone State, as the scene for his maiden o a- tion in the campaign, it is understiod from o reliable source that the Presi- dent has given no indication that he has decided upon his home State for thi: speech. May Not Leave City. ‘There is also some feeling that he might not leave Washington for this purpose—thgt he might select some ap- proprinte asion in Washington to say what he has to say in advocacy of the Repubiican national ticket. It is felt very ceptain by those wit whom the President has talked that his speech will be confined principally to defending and lauding the Republican administration of the last eight years. It is pointed out that'the President is satisfied that he can becomingly treat that subject feelingly not only because of his pride of the accomplishment of his administration and the Republcan Congress, but because his adminis ra- tion has been challenged by the opp si- tion in this campaign. The President is scheduled to mt an address at the dedication of ihe national park in honor of the battles of Fredericksburg and the battles of tie Wilderness, but is thought very doul- ful if he will say anything on that o:- casion that could be construed as beitig political in its nature. The Presideit also has under consideration severil other invitations to speak at celebrii~ tions in different parts of the country, and it is thought not unlikely that le may decide to accept one of these f his first campaign_speech. In the meantime, the President Is taking a keen interest in the develi 5- ment of the campaign. It is a sp ¢ dear to his heart for more than a qu - ter of a century of political activity m his own part, and 'he is being kept posted daily as to the trend througaz- out the country. He not only poies over a quantity of daily newspapers, tuy is being kept posted by letters receivel , from friends in various sections as w: as by verbal reports made to him da/ Watson Visits President. Among his callers today was Senator Watson of Indiana. who told the Presi- dent that from his pérsonal observa- tions there is not now the slight'st doubt about the outcome of the elt tion. He admitted that there was ain- ple reason for concern when the caii- paign opened. but within the past fiw weeks the trend toward Hoover has manifested itself in such a manner as to convince those familiar with the ways of politics that it is all over k1t the shouting. In the opinion of Senator Wats n the only issue in this campaign is whether or not the people would p.e- fer to see Gov. Smith President rather than a man of the talents and experi- ence of Hoover. He added that it is (Continued on Page 2, Column 6.) |a matter of easy mathematies to figure ‘ A SR that there are far more people in this VIOLENCE MARKS ABSENT | countsy. regardiess of their party afilia- tions, who would rather not see the | e New York governor in the White Mrs. Schlorb’s Death Due to Ae-|House. Senator Phipps during his talk with the President informed him of advices he has received from his State which tend to give assurance that Colorado will be found in the Hoover column on election day. Senator Phipps, who is a member of the Republican senatorial campaign committee, stated that there is reason to feel hopeful that the Re- | publicans will gain two or three seats | in the Senate as a result of the Novem- ber 6 election: ! The President yesterday had a long | talk regarding the situation in Massa-~ | chusetts with Thogas S. White, one 1of his closest pom!k advisers, who is now collector of ¥evenue at Boston. i} While going over the situation in Massa- chusetts Mr. White said that the in- | dications now point to complete Re- | publican success in the Bay State. He is not only sure of Hoover carrying the State, but thinks that Senator Walsh will be defeated for re-election. Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Republican national _committee, paid his first visi® to the White House since the President returned from his vaca- | tion, but he remained only long enougi: to introduce J. R. Nutt, treasurer of the national committee, and to discuss very briefly the progress of the campaign. The national chairman had no com- ment to make afterwards, and declined to say whether the matter of the Pres- ident’s prospective campaign speeci: was discussed Treasurer Nutt, in answer to a ques- tion -from one of the newspaper cor- respondents, said that he had not asked for a contribution, and added that he could not recall having re. ceived ene from the Presicent thus £2e, | i £
