Indignant at the alleged atten:pts of Democratic leaders to awaken Southern sympathy for Gov. Smith by circulating literature lauding the manner in which Catholics aided the South during the Civil War, a group of Montgomery County Democrats met last night at Cabin John to seek ways and means of opposing the New York Governor's pre: idential aspirations. The governor was charged with at- tempting to “revive the doctrine of secession In connection with “the eighteenth amendment.” Alden A. Potter was named chairman of the executive committee, composed of Mrs. H. W. Eckloff, Mrs son, Lester L. Kenney and C. R. N Favor Local Aspirants. ‘The committee will consider means of supporting local Democratic officials while opposing Gov. Smith’s candidacy, methods to encourage registration of women voters eligible by reason of resi- gdence within the State since 1920, dis- tribution of campaign literature on the legislative record of Gov. Smith and plans for co-operation with local Re- publicans in organizing a campaign meeting. All Montgomery County Democrats interested in the Republican cause were urged to attend a meeting in Rockville next Tuesday, at which time former Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma will speak. Explanation Is Asked. ‘The following telegram was sent to Gov. Smith at Albany: “The undersigned are registered Dem- ocratic voters in Montgomery County, Md., dry and Democratic for half a century. Having heard that you want no one to vote for you because you are & Catholic we are seeking your expla- nation of literature received under the frank of Senator Pat Harrison, desig- nated as remarks of Senators Copeland and Tydings, taken from the Congres- sional Record. More than half of this material is devoted to reviewing the Civil War and the part played in it by Catholics who favored or served the South. “Can it be that your supporters are seeking to revive in us of a new gen- eration the hatreds of war in the hope that we may vote for you because you, too, are a Catholic? Do you approve of this? Would it be proper for Re- publican headquarters to use this same material in dissuading Northern people from voting for you on the ground that you are a Catholic? Is it your hope and expectation, personally, that these ef- forts may serve to influence us in ap- proving your revival of the doctrine of secession in connection with the eigh- teenth amendment, which you must know we otherwise would not approve? Consttutional Democratic MARDEN P. GREEN-DIES. Marden P. Green, 24 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram K. Green, 3715 Woodley road, died at his home, in Asheville, N. C, last night, after a lingering illness, according to word re- ceived here. Mr. Green was a graduate of Central High School and later attended George ‘Washington University. He married a little more than two years ago Miss Btella Porter of Minneapolis. He leaves his widow, his parents and 8 brother, Fred H. Green. Funeral services will be conducted in Asheville tomorrow. | night. | 'The speaker charged that Mrs. Wille- | brandt, while drawing her salary from | all the people of the country, in trying to persuade 2,000 Methodist Episcopal ministers of Ohio to' “transfer their | pulpits, which are dedicated to the work of Christ, into forums for the dis- semination of religious intolerance and | hate,” has injected the religious issue into the campaign. | He charged that the silence of Na- | tional Chairman Work following Mrs. | | Willebrandt's activities is convincing | proof that the Republican national ! | committee has at least acquiesced in her activities. FIND FIFTH BOOTLEG ACCOUNT LEDGER 'May Lead to More Police| Arrests in Philadelphia Probe. | By the Associated Pre: j PHILADELPHIA, October 5.—A boot- legger’s account book, the fifth of its | kind to come into the hands of District Attorney Monaghan since the start of | the current grand jury investigation of | liquor, vice and police, was under ex- | amination by the investigators today. The book, given to the prosecutor by Samuel O. Wynne, Federal prohibition | administyator for this district, was seized ir a raid. Information gathered from the other account books was re- sponsivle for the arrest of a district po- lice commander and 24 patrolmen and detectives on charges of bribery and ex- tortion. Ths district attorney said tdoay that the wealth of some of the police had reached such a high figure that: he would have to take several hours off to calculate the total. “And,” he added, “it =oes without say- ing that we probably have not discov- ered all of it.” Monaghan said he would continue a survey of all banks where police of- ficials might keep their money. ‘When Capt. Charles Beckman, sus- pended head of the detective bureau, was given a hearing by the Civil Service Commission yesterday it was brought | out that he had deposited in one bank $55,620.69 from September, 1926, to Sep- | tember, 1927. Beckman explained this | by saying he had handled large sums for policemen of other cities for the pur- chase of tickets for the Tunney-Demp- sey champlonship fight and that he had made considerable in real estate. He denijed having accepted bribes from ‘Max “Boo Boo” Hoff, designated by the district attorney as the “king of boot- leggers,” or from any one else. Singing Husband Sued. WATERTOWN, Mass.

Th> declination was made in a reply by Secretary Kellogg to the League's in- | vitation, which was transmitted today to the secretary general of the Leagus by American Minister Wil-on of Switzer- | land and simultaneously made public by the State Department. The League in- vited the participation of the United | States last September 5. Secretary Kellogg's communication was very frank. He expressed his ap- preclation of the invitation, but said | that he regretted that the United States “does not find it possible” to select a representative upon the permanent ce tral boerd. because the Geneva conve tion was “unsatisfactory in certain spects of sufficient importance to pr clud~" this Government's participation. “Although in the matter of manu- and the control of | transportation the Geneva convention may be regarded as an improvement | | over The Hague convention of 1912 in the opinion of this Governmen Secretary's reply continued, “the Geneva convention is unsatisfactory in re-| [pecta; = s e, | 'Among the matters which this Gov- ernment regards as not adequately dealt | with i the Geneva convention are the | limitation of the production of raw opium and cocoa leaves to the me- | dicinal and scientific needs of the world | and the control of the production and | distribution of all opium and ¢ocoa leaf derivatives. “Furthermore, the Geneva convel tion tends to destroy the unity of pus pose and joint responsibility of the po ers accomplished by The Hague con vention and which this Governmen regards as essential to an effective con- trol of the traffic in narcotic goods. The American Government believ that until there can be devised some substitute for The Hague convention | more satisfactery than the Geneva | convention the eradication of the abuse of narcotic drugs would be more likely to be achieved by strict observance of the provisions of The Hague convention. | “However, the United States recog- | nizes that the traffic in narcotic drugs | can be controlled only by international co-operation and, in continuation of its efforts toward that end, will, in addi- | tion to observing its obligations under | The Hague convention, endeavor to J furnish such information as thé perma- nent central board may request.” 1 the | ¥ is home about 5 o'clock yesterday by | direction. his neighbor, Willam B.
