Miss West, who is author of the play but not a member of its cast, was ar- rested at another theater, where she is | starring in “Diamond Lil.” She posted #500 bail for a hearing. All were charged with producing or taking part in an in- decent performanc: The raid caused considerable excite- ment among the - crowded Broadway | throngs. Traffic was jammed, and cheers, boos and hisses greeted the per- formers on their short ride. Officials In Audience. Acting on reports from suburban towns where the play was given pre- liminary showings, the Police Depart- ment had a half dozen officials in the audience. At 10:30 o'clock, while the play was still in progress, a signal was given to a score of plain-clothes men stationed outside and all exits were placed under guard Patrons, however, were unaware of the police activity until they began Lo leave the theater. No effort was made | to interfere with them, but at the con- «clusion of the show the entire cast was confined back stage to await patrol | Wagons. Audiences from nearby theaters also | were leaving at the same time, and the | streets soon were packed with humanity. The crowd became so denss that police | reserves were called out to open the street to traffic. ‘All Prisoners Bailed. Miss West, after being taken into cus- tody at her theater, was detained at the police station several hours. After a statement by her had been taken down by a police stenographer she was re- leased under bail furnished by a profes- sional bondsman. Bail for the mem- bers of the cast was furnished by the Actors’ Equity Association. Frank Gil- more, secretary of the association, de- clared the arrest of the cast was a “dis- grace.” Miss West, who gave her age as 28, was appearing in a play called “Sex,” of which she also was the author, when she was arrested last year. She carried her case ‘to trial and was convicted, being sentenced to 10 days in the work- ‘house and fined $500. French Senator Killed.

[ B0V, RITCHIE URGES STATE DRY LAWS [Tells Radio Audience Change\ Is Needed From “Encroach- ‘ ing Federalism.” | By t* Associated Press. Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, | in an address urging the “return of democracy.” broadcast from Station ‘WMAL, in Washington, and 19 allied stations, last night, urged the estab- | lishment of State rights as a means | of “keeping the Government close to | the people” and declared that the fatal | defect of the prohibition law is that it | ‘restricts men’s liberty of decision. | ‘The term of the State rights is no now a particularly well chosen one, Gov. Ritchie said. “Yet it is the term | that has always been applied to those | who take the side of the States against | the advancing and encroaching Federal- ism of any kind—the side of less gov- ernment against more government. “Today we are face to face with a development of relationship between the Nation and the States which has been made at last acute by the constantly expanding growth of Federal power at the expense of the powers and duties reserved to the States. The struggle is now for State domain.” Injecting the question of State rights into the prohibition issue, Gov. Ritchie said: “Men’s grievance egainst prohibition is not that it restricts their drink, but that it restricts their liberty of de- cision to drink or not to drink. , It invades a field in which men instinc- tively feel that their rights of self- gn. ‘If the political mind and ingenuity of one State conceives of this or that possible chance, it can put it to the test of experiment and the others can copy.

Dy the Associated Press. MINNEAPOLIS, October 2.—Develop- ment of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Waterway, favored by Herbert Hoover. is one of the most important proposi- | tions before the agricultural Northwest in the opinicn of Senator William E. Borah of Idaho. Senator Borah, in an address at the Municipal Auditorium _last night, pic- tured Mr. Hoover, the Republican presi- | dential candidate, as a champion of the farmer, the proposed waterway to the farmer. Hoover's work as food administrator Guring the war was praised by the Idaho Senator, who said that any statement that Hoover was not then working in the interes of the farmers was a “gross libel.” Senator Borah criticized Gov. Alfred E. Smith. Democratic presidential can- idate, for his references to Hoover and the oil zcandals in a recent speech at Helena, Mont. To attack Mr. Hoover for acts of a fellow cabinet member was no more justified than to blame Mr. Smith for the “millions grafted by Tammany Hall,” said Senator Borah. Mr. Hoover is definitely opposed to repeal of the prohibition act. which Mr. Borah' charged Tammany Hall, rather than the Democratic party wanted “nullified.” “Is the governor willing to assume responsibility for the degradation of the | organization of which he is a leader? This is the organization which the gov- ernor proposes to remain a member of while President of the United States. I have not heard that Mr. Hoover pro- poses to take cither Fall or Daugherty as his assoclates to Washington. “He has not condemned Tammany. He has not condemned his_ associates on the contrary, not later than July 4, | he eulogized Tammany Hall eleemosynary institution. “In the campaign of 1924, 15,716,000 votes were cast for Coolidge.

Mann, Republican Southern campaign director. In the statement by Mann he declared that “few accusations against Mr. Hoover have been too vile or slanderous for publication in the news columns of Southern dailies.” “I brand this as an unmitigated exag- geration,” said a statement, sent by Mr. Wright to the national Republican headquarters at Washington. “No vile or slanderous accusations have been published in any reputable Southern dailies against Mr. Hoover. Among the worst things published about him have been the criticisms made before his nomination by such members of the Republican party as Senators Borah, | Fess, Curtis and others. “On_the other hand, the South has been literally blanketed with slanderous and in some cases obscene literature in the form of anonymous pamphlets and | | circulars attacking Gov. Smith and the | Roman Oatholic Church.

Modern housékeepers demand perfect refrigeration With the demands on 2 woman’s time these days and the varied interests which engross her, matters of home manage- ment must be run with as little fuss and bother as possible. Refrigeration, for example, must be absolutely automatic, completely efficient.. The General Electric Refrigerator op- erates so automatically that you never even have to oil it. It isunusually quiet, makes plenty of ice and uses little cur- rent. Itis “years ahead” in design be- cause all its machinery is enclosed in an air-tight steel casing, mounted on top. It provides the perfect refrigeration which is now recognized as a year- round necessity for health-protection. The General Electric Refrigerator is most sanitary. Dust is kept from set- tling on the top because there is a con- stant gentle upward current of air. Come intoday and see the many models. You can buy yours on a deferred pay- ment plan, if you wish.
