Another development which may have some connection with the thefts at the Barr Building was the announcement today by Representative Updike, Re- puolican, of Indiana, that a valuabl list of farmers and former service men in his congressicnal district has been stolen from his office in the House Of- fice Building.

C., October 5.—A short, pleasant spoken but grimly deter- mined man, verging on 74 years of age, is giving the Smith forces in this State more concern than any other single fac- tor in the campaign. He is Furnifold M. Simmons, senior Senator from North Carolina and the admitted political boss of the State for 30 years. Senator Simmons’ frank determina- tion not to support Gov. Smith for elec- tion, announced after the Democratic nominze had, as Senator Simmons charges, thrown overboard the prohibi- tion plank of the Democratic national platform and had appointed John J. Raskob, former Republican and ardent wet, ‘to manage his campaign, was a rallying c2il to the anti-Smith Demo- | crats of the State.

Losing his nerve in an apparent at- tempt at suicide, A. M. Heney, thought to be a visitor to the Capital, hung frantically for several minutes to a seventh floor window ledge of the old Southern Railway Building this after- noon before his fingers slipped and allowed him to plunge to his death. A note was found in his pocket ad- dressed to “police authorities,” stating his intent of killing himself. The note said: “I 'promised men in Chicago I would dispose of my body. You can dispose of my body as you see fit.” Heney's screams brought passersby running to his assistance, but they ar- rived just too late to save him. His back and neck were broken, and he died instantly. PLANES FIND HUNTERS. Four Are Alive After Six Days in Desert With Short Rations.

Both are in Emergency Hospital. Mrs. Bongers’ condition is critical. The bullet entered the right side of her back. When she was taken off the orentlng table this morning life was almost extinct. Bongers’ wound is of a less serious nature, although physicians say that he is by no means out of danger. - Bongers said that knowing his wite | passed through the park every morn- ing on her way to work, he waited there for her.

The bullet passed through a notebook in his pocket. He was found by William Hastings of 415 Fourth street, who was passing at the time, walking aimlessly about the park with the smoking gun dangling from his hand. Hastings was walking along F street and heard two persons talking in loud voices in the park. As he glanced in their direction. Bongers pulled a gun and fired into his wife’s back. After shooting himself, Hastings as- serted, Bongers turned and walked slowly in his direction, but seeing him retraced his steps and was captured within 20 yards of the prostrate form of his wife by Sergt.

North Carolina is a real battle ground this year. Not because of Re- publican strength — though there is more of it than in other Southern States—but because of the opposition of Democrats to Gov. Smith. -This op- | position, if combined with the Repub- lican strength at the polls may carry the State for Hoover. Many of ths Democrats will content -themselves with merely staying away from the polls, of with voting the State ticket and letting the national ticket slide. There are two factors which the Democratic leaders are counting on, however, to win for them in the end, party regularity and the race question, which they have dug up again and dusted off for this particular campaign.

The best judgment of conservative Democratic leaders is that these two factors will in the end line up North Carolina for Smith. But some of them will tell you that there are days when they actually wonder if their judgment is correct and when fear of the outcome creeps into their hearts. 1 The Democratic leaders are relying also on the younger generation to help them carry the State. The campaign has a month to run. The Democratic leaders are holding their breath lest Senator Simmons should actually become active in the last part of the month. They are hoping he will rest on what he has done. having made his position clear and let it go at that. If Senator Sim- mons should come out with a speech or two urging the Democrats of the Staté fo- vote against Gov.
