PRISON RUMORS PUTUPTO WARDEN Snook of Atlanta Explains Reports Relating to Alleged “Undercover Agent.” John Snook, warden of the Atlanta Penitentiary, who was summoned to Washington as an outgrowth of stories in which the record of a prisoner, sup- posed to have been kept confidential, was made public, said late yesterday that he was returning to Atlanta as warden, but that he had certain in- structions which would be carried out, following an hour’s conference with As- sistant Attorney General Mabel Walker ‘Willebrandt. “I am returning to Atlanta as war- den,” Snook said, “I have received cer- tain instructions as to things that are to be done on my return. They will be carried out.” Declines to Answer Queries. When questioned as to what went on at the conference ,Snook referred his questioners to Mrs. Willebrandt, who declined to discuss the conference, saying that it was nothing unusual for a warden to come to Washington to dis- cuss prison affairs with his superior officers. The stories about Snook, which were widely published, were to the effect that after the prisoner was discovered to be an “undercover” agent he was transferred to Leavenworth and later to Honoiulu. During the time that the stories were being published the record This record was the confidential description, addresses of the prisoner and his rela- tives, giving his civilian mail address end other such details. Such details are never permitted to be published by the depariment on the grounds that keeping them in confidence is a debt that the Government owes to tho Other Issues Discussed. It was generally understood that this subject was discussed at the confer- | ence as well as the warden's recent refusal to permit certain department agents to make an investigation in the prison without written orders from his uperiors. Before departing for At- ‘anta, Warden Snook let it be known hat he expected to fully co-operate with the department. Warden Snook Snook reached here Monday. but was prevented from seeing the Attorney Gen- eral, and yesterday when he called Mr. Sargent referred him to Mrs. Wille- brandt. He was examined by Mrs. Wil- lebrandt shortly after noon and the questions were recorded by a sten- ographer. Snook’s conference with Ascistent Attorney General Willebrandt was short, as she had other engage- ments, but he was told to return to her office later in the afternoon. . POLICEOF THREE STATES HUNT FOR MISSING GIRL Adopted Daughter of Prominent New York Matron Disappears on Way From Princeton, W. Va. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 3.—Police in three States began a search yesterda: for Virginia Bozeman, 14-year-old | adopted daughter of Mrs. Ann Bozeman The girl disappeared on the way from the home of her father, J. W. Bashlor, of Princeton, W. Va, to join Mr. Bozeman here. After taking a train from Princeton last Friday, the girl apparently rode to Roanoke, Va., where she was to change trains, and wrote from there to her father on the stationery of the Patrick Henry Hotel, Roanoke. She failed to arrive here and police of Princeion, Roancke and this city were notified, Mrs. Bozeman, whose hushand is the head of the Bozeman Co., Broadway rubber goods supply house, told police the child had been attending school | at the Ursuline Convent, Columbia, | She had spent most of the Sum- mer visiting her father and other rela- Hands Reveal Vocation.

It is these traditions of their service, their ideals and policies, that must be linked to the necessities of the present. “To carry on great political part it is essential that the ranks be filled with youth, bringing new vigor and fresh and eager idealism to our cause and iInto our lives. I would like for vou to give my greeting to the young man Republicans and {o say for me that I look to them as a rallving point for Republicans in the city of New York.” The spokesman for the delegation was John M. Stratton, chairman of the cempaign committee of the club. He told Hoover of the enthusiasm of voung Republicans in Gov. Smith's bailiwick and said that many other voung men were foresaking other party ties in order to support Hoover. He expressed confidence that New York State would be in the Hoover column in November. “So sure am I of your election,” Stratton said, “that I now salute you as the next President of the United States.” Hoover was photographed with the delegation in front of his general head- quarters and immediately thereafter he went to the State Department and ac- cepted from Ambassador Padilla of Spain a handsome loving cup donated by the Spanish monarch for the Long Beach, Calif., yacht races. Hoover represented Gov. Young of California at | the latter's request. Elaborate preparations are being made to make Hoover’s invasion of New York City October 22 a memorable political event in the Empire State. Impressive Welcome Planned. An impressive welcome will be ac- corded the presidential nominee upon | his arrival at the station in the morn- ing, and the festivities will culminate with a monster mass meeting in Mad- ison Square Garden, from the plat- form of which Hoover will deliver his sixth major speech. The hall holds 20,000 persons, A far-flung radio hook- up will carry the address to millions outside of New York. Charles Evans Hughes ‘will share speaking honors with Hoover. The pro- gram is expected to extend over the better part of two hours. The New York speech will come ex- actly one week after the New England tariff speech, to be delivered in Boston, October 15, in Mechanics' Hall. There will be a number of platform appear- lanr‘r"s during the trip through New Eng- and. Hoover will leave Washington Friday for the mountains of Tennessee, where, on Saturday afternoon in Elizabethton, he will address a vast gathering of Southerners. Later in the afternoon he will journey to nearby Johnson City to make another address before Ten- nessee veterans in front of the big soldiers’ monument there. ‘There is a possibility that Hoover will make an extra spcech in the East before leaving for his home in Cali- fornia to vote. Nothing definite in this connection has been decided. There will be one address made en route to the Pacifiz Coast, and a final radio ap- | peal to the voters on election cve, ac- cording to present plans. Banker Backs Hoover. An urgent appeal for the women’s vote was made over the radio last night by Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, vice chairman of the Republican national committee, and Mrs. Silas Strawn of Chicago. Both called on the women to unite in a crusade to win the election for Hoover, pointing to Hoover’s understanding of the problems of women and of humanity in_general. Following a conference with Hoover yesterday afternoon B. F. Yoakum of New York, lifelong Democrat and head of the Empire Bond & Mortgage Co., sald he was supporting the Republican nominee because of his sympathy for the farmer. “Since Gov. Smith and the leaders of my own party,” he said. “seem to have embraced McNary-Haugenism, which I consider the most dangerou fallacious and impractical measure pro posed in this generation, and since th present no practical plan, I fecl du bound to throw my support to Mr. Hoover, and this T believe will be the conclusion which will be reache * by the vast ma of the thinking farmers strength” is reported by the De of Agriculture.

More than two-thirds of these cases involved minor infractions of discipline. HOSPITALS BENEFIT BY FOSTER WILL George Washington and Chil- dren’s Eventually to Get Income. George Washington University Hos- pital, Children's Hospital, the Episco- pal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital and All Souls’ Church are to benefit from | the provisions of the will of Miss Mary | Candler Foster, who died September 2 | The will provides a trust fund of $40, 000 and directs that the interest from |$10,000 of the fund be paid to her nephew, Willlam C. Bowditch of Brook- line, Mass., for life then to her sisters, Susan C. Foster and Alice F. Bowditch. On the death of the survivor the in- come goes equally to the George Wash- ington Hospital and the Children's Hos- pital. The income from the rest of the fund is to be paid to her two sisters for life, then to her nephew, and on his death to the two hospitals. Bequests of $500 each are made to the Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hos- pital and All Souls’ Church. The nephew is also given $10,000 and bequests of $100 each are made to a number of other relatives. Caroline F. Sizer, of Cleveland, Ohio, is to have an emerald ring and a pendant. The re- maining estate is devised to the sisters. The American Security & Trust Co. is nzmed as executor, Hamilton C. Claiborne, who died Au- gust 25, left his jewelry, automobiles | and household effects to his widow, Cor- | nelia Claiborne. The remaining estate *is left to the American Security & Trust Co. in trust for 21 years after the death of his last child. The income from the trust estate is to be paid to the widow for life and at her death to the chil- dren. Should there be no surviving child at the end of the trust the fund is to be paid over to Herbert A. Clai- borne of Richmond, a brother of the deceased, or if he be dead, to the heirs- at-law of the testator. Mrs. Blanche Ostheimer, who died December 7 last at 3 Rue Rabelais, Paris, in a testament written by her- self appoints her son, John W. Osthei- mer, as trustee under a declaration of trust made by her June 20, 1919, for the benefit of her daughter, Antoinette D. Mottet. She also names her sons John W. and Robert G. as executors of her estate, but does not specify how the estate is to be ributed. SEEKS T0 ENJOIN New York Man Says He En- gineered Financing for $18,000,000 Issue. Suit to enjoin the issuance of the tock of the new_corporation known s the Wardman Real Estate Proper- t to any cne but himself was filed today in the District Supreme Court by Gustave Nassauer of New York City against that corporation, the Wardman Construction Co., the Wardman Realty & Construction Co., Harry Wardman and James B. Hobbs. The petitioner says he made an agreement with Wardman by which he was to have the stock in compensation for his efforts in securing the refinanc- ing proposition by which the company issued bonds in excess of $18,000,000. He says he sold the proposition to Ro- gers, Caldwell & Co., New York bank- ers, and introduced Wardman to them. Nassauer declares he spent $40,000 in the preparation of work preceding the bond issue, but was not invited by Mr. Wardman to attend the meeting of the bankers held at the Cariton Hotel to di 5 the proposition. He was later ised, he states, that the deal had fallen through because of some objec. tion by a banker from Ohio in reference to a cash deposit. Plaintiff asserts this was a mere pretense and says that im- mediately afterwards the bond issue was perfected through Rogers, Caldwell & Co. and their associates. The court is asked to appoint a re- ceiver to take charge of the stock of the new company and hold it pending hearing of Nassauer’s petiiion. He also asks that if the stock may not be turned over to him as provided by the alleged | agreement that he be awarded a moncy | judement agamst the defendants for §10,363,396, which he claims is the valu> of the real estate covered by the bond | issue in excess of the amount of the bonds. He is represented by Attorney Henry C. Finckel. LONGWORTH 'AND ALLEN HIT RELIGIOUS ISSUE By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, October 3.—Nicholas Longworth, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Henry J. Allen, former Governor of Kansas, last night charged that the so-called religious issue_ had been injected into the presi- dential campaign by the Democrats. Addressing a_Republican registration rally in Brooklyn, Speaker Longworth said: “If the religious issue has heen thrown into this campaign it is no fault of ours. If it remains an issue we can only deplore it."” Former Gov. Allen told those at the rally that the Middle West has been “profoundly astonished at the whisper- ing campaign of the Democratic lead- ers.” ~ - - ! a 4 WARDMAN STOCKS HAZELWOOD HEADS BANK ASSOCIATION John Gerdes Lonsdale Be- comes First Vice President of National Organization. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, October 3.—Craig { B. Hazelwood, vice president of the | Union Trust Co.. Chicago, today was | elected president of the American | Bankers Association at a general con- | vention meeting. Mr. Hazelwood had | been first vice president of the associa- | tion. John Gerdes Lonsdale, president of | the National Bank of Commerce of St | Louis, was_elected first vice president and Rome C. Stephenson, vice president of the St. Joseph County Savings Bank | and president of the St. Joseph Loan & Trust Co., South Bend, Ind., was elected | second vice president. The association is representative of a banking system, which shows resources | larger at this time than at any other | period in its history, E. A. Onthank of | Fitchburg, Mass., said in an address to- day. “On June 30 this year, and for the first time,” he said, “the fotal resources exceeded twenty-eight and one-half bil- lion dollars. In the abstract this is a staggering sum, but when one considers the breadth of its distribution and the very large percentage of our Nation's trade and commerce which is financed thereby, the total does not seem unduly large. Renders Public Service. “Banking is essentially a private en- terprise rendering a distinctly public service, and must be made to yield re- muneration to those engaged in it.” ‘Women, long accused of “running up bills,” make less use of banking credit than men, Miss Agnes J. Olsen of Chi- cago said in addressing the convention of the Association of Bank Women, The housewife, Miss Olsen said, is far less familiar with credit transac- tions than is her husband. She believes women should do an increased credit business. She declared that while the woman who goes to her banker for credit may not always obtain a loan she will at least be given invaluable advice. The place of the savings bank as a | dispenser of advice to young married | couples was pointed out by Miss Mabel | Thompson of New York. She said | every savings bank should have a place where the young man about to marry may consult an expert on financial mat- ters and on borrowing money for his home. “State banks are not able to compete with national banks along specific lines of income,” caid a report presented by M. P. Beche of Ipswich, S. Dak., as chairman of the public service com- mitice, Sees “Golden Age” at End. The report of the State legislative committee, presented by Felix M. Mc- Whirter, Indianapolis, stated that it had been active in a Nation-wide cam- paign to obtain greater uniformity of better bank legislation. The committee on relationship with the Federal Reserve System, T. Hammond, chairman, urged more State banks to become merbers of the Fed- eral Reserve System. Leonard P. Ayres, vice president of the Cleveland Trust Co., Cleveland, said yesterday that America's “golden age of busines that began with the opening of the World War, has come to an end. Ayres, who spoke before the State bank division, said he was not pessi- mistic, but was stating frankly what | bankers had all come to realize, namely, “that the most important business fact of 1923 is that we have lost a half billion of our monetary gold.” Furthermore, he sald, this loss prob- ably will be permanent, and will make necessary a new investment policy. Sees Sober Age. The new age will be a more sober one, Mr. Ayres pointed out, although the American people still are in a mood of “invincible optimism.” “The fact that has the most impor- tant bearing on the future prospects of banking and business in this country is that heavy and regular imports of gold seem to be things of the past,” Mr. Ayres said.. An international association of bank- ers wiich would bring the world “a better understanding of the problems which beset every country and would make for a more cordial and sympa- thetic understanding among nations” | was advocated by Thomas R. Preston of Chattanooga, Tenn., president of the | association. In alluding to the political situation, Mr. Preston said, “We are coming to a new era in political life,” and added that there would be no disturbances of business, either large or small, regard- Jess of whether Gov. Smith or Herbert Hoover were elected. Paul P. Brown, secretary of the North Carolina Bankers' Association, made a plea for the installation by banks of service charges on unprofitable check- ing accounts. 1,375 NEW LAMPS INSTALLED IN YEAR ;Annunl Report of Engineer Shows Increase of 38 1-2 Per Cent in Candlepower. A total of 1,375 new lamps was added to Washingion's street lighting system in the fiscal year -nding June 30 last, according to the annual report of War- ren B. Hadley, District electrical en- Commissioner William B. Ladue. The additional lamps, the report | showed, increased the aggregate candle- | power from approximately 4,357,000 to {6.037,000, or about 38!, per cent, com- | pared with 53 and 30 per cent, re- spectively, for the two next previous years. |" The total gas lighting, on the other | hand, the report pointcd out, was re- | duced by nearly 11 per cent, and from about 24 per cent to 15'; per cent on the total candlepower. The report showed that 12,639 per- {mits were issued for the installation | of “electric wires and apparatus on | private property. The fees paid for the permits totaled $24,390.10. 'GEORGIA SENATOR | BACKS SMITH STAND By the Associated Press. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., October | 3.—Senator Walter F. George of | Georgia, speaking here ‘lest night in support of the Democratic national can- didates, declared that, in his opinion, the State of Georgia would swing to | Smith by a majority of 40,000 to 50,000 | votes. Senator George, himself a professed dry, spoke in the Jofferson Theater, and at length defended the views on prohi- bition as expressed by Gov. Smith. He contrasted what he described as the | straightforward expression of Gov. |Smith with the statements of Herbert Hoover. “The Lord only knows where Hoover stands!" he exclaimed. The Republican party, he said, finds itself in a dilemma when it states that prohibition can be enforced, but at the same time fails to enforce this law. He pleaded for religious tolerance and lauded the honesty of purpose of Gov. Smith and his humanitarian record in &governmental administration. gineer, made public today by Engincer W. C. T. U. ASKS SHEPPARD TO DROP SMITH SUPPORT Author of Eighteenth Amendment Is Urged to Aid “Moral Forces.” By the Associated Pres GALVESTON, Te: October 3.— Senator Sheppard of Texas, author of the eighteenth amendment, who campaigning for the Democratic na- tional ticked was called upon yesterday by the State Women's Christian Tem- perance Union convention to come to the defense of the prohibition amend- ment “or else quit the platform in this campaign.” Senator Sheppard was urged not to “further oppose the moral forces in this State, which are fighting under such great difficulties to preserve the cause of prohibition.” The convention indorsed the candi- dacies of Herbert Hoover and Charles Curtis for President and Vice President. P KOHLER ACCUSED OF OVERSPENDING Opponents of Wisconsin Gu- bernatorial Nominee Seek Mandamus. By the Assoclated Press. MADISON, Wis,, October 3.—On the claim that Walter J. Kohler, Republican nominee for governor, had violated the corrupi practices act, a writ of man- damus was filed yesterday asking the Supreme Court to order that the secre- tary of State cancel his certification of nomination. ‘The writ was filed by Fred M. Wylie, Madison attorney. His claim that the nominee, conservative Republican and millionaire manufacturer, violated the corrupt practices act, was based on 10 charges. Justice Marvin H. Rosen- herry signed the mandamus order. It was the understanding here that even though Kohler's name be can- celled, he could run as an independent candidate, but that the second highest for nomination, Joseph D. Beck, prog- ressive, would be the nominee. Kohler, who won the nomination over Joseph D. Beck, candidate of the La Follette Progressives, and Gov. Fred R. Zimmerman, who sought re-election, had no comment to make yesterday on the action. He must file an answer to the charges by October 6. The mandamus action was the second move concerning Kohler against whom opposing parties made the claim that his expenditures during the primary were excessive, A John Doe investiga- tion of funds spent in the primary is under way in Dane County, where the capital, Madison, is located, and the secretary of state has been asked for certified coples of expenditures as filed with him.

N, PEEK DENOUNCES BORAH STATEMENT Charges Senator Falsely Represents Hoover’s Ac- tion on Wheat Price Fixing. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 3.—George N. Peek of Moline, Ill, chairman of the Smith independent organizations com- mittee, in a telegram to Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Republican na- tional committee, Washington, D. C., yesterday, charged that “either Senator Borah is grossly ignorant of Mr. Hoover's admitted record on the ques- tion of holding down the price of wheat, or the Senator is wilfully guilty of fraud in his representations.” The telegram was inspired by Senator Borah's speech in Minneapolis Monday night, in which he declared Herbert Hoover, Republican candidate. was responsible for holding wheat at $2.20 a bushel during the Wilson administra- tion when it threatened to fall below that figure. Peck charged Hoover, by causing the price of wheat to be fixed at that price, prevented the farmer from getting a higher price. Peek declared if the price had not been controlled wheat would have risen to $3.48 a bushel. Peek called attention to a cablegram he said was sent to him by Hoover in April, 1919, in which Hoover said, in part: “If the control of wheat were removed (from control of the War Trade Board) during the next two or three months, in the face of the world situation, prices in this commodity would advace materially beyond the present level. * * * I wish to repeat that unless some superior force inter- venes, we intend to hold the price of wheat to the figures it has stood at during the war under congressional guarantee.” Claims Connecticut for Smith.

Special Dispatch to The Star. DANVILLE, Va., October 3.—A politi- cal sensation was created in Virginia today with the publication of a bitter attack on the platform methods of Bishop James Cannon of the Methodist Church by Senator Carter Glass. The junior Senator from Virginia charges the prelate with “hiding be- hind the formula of every slanderer and insists that he deliberately misled his Danville audience a few nights ago when suggesting that Gov. Alfred E. Smith is an inordinate consumer of alcoholic beverages. Senator Glass says that while Bishop Cannon quoted the Nation in reference to Smith's alleged drinking habit, he craftily omitted to give the literal dis- claimer on this point. Oswald Garrison Villard, the witness to whom the bishop appeals to disparage the Demo- cratic candidate, is the rankest negropi- list in America, the Senator said. The same Villard, he added, was excluded from reputable hotels in Baltimore and Washington last Winter because he in- sisted that his negro comrades should be permitted to dine with his white associates. Senator Glass severely arraigns Bishop Cannon for his alleged attempt to hold Tammany Hall responsible for racial equality in Harlem and he winds up the tirade by saying: “As I have said before the tragedy of this cam- paign will not be any political party elected or defeated—it will be the church depraved.” Asphalt occupies a position of ‘mcreas- ing importance in the foreign trade of the United States.

I really never thought much about | it. What I do is so simple. Like so| many of my girl friends here in New York, I just put a littie Danderine on my brush each time I use it That keeps my hair silky and gleam- ing makes it easy to dress and holds it like I arrange it, for hours. My scalp was very dry and I had a lot of dandruff when I first started on i but all af that trouble stopped quick- lyv. And Danderine keeps my hair so | clean I don't need to shampoo half as often, now.” Danderine removes that oily film from vour hair and gives it new life | and luster. It isn’t oily and doesn't show.
