JACKSON, Miss., October 25.—In a telegram to Herbert Hoover yvesterday, | Gov. Theodore G. Bilbo said his infor- | mation regarding reports that the Re- publican presidential candidate had danced with a colored woman was based on rumor and he had so stated in his speech. He then asked Mr. Hoover to say whether he thought it was “indecent” to dance with a negro woman. The telegram follows: “In reply to a telegram of the 19th inst.. given to the press by your per- ! sonal representative, Mr. George Aker- son, and which telegram I presume meets with your approval. I desire to say that the statement that vou had | danced with Mary Booze in Washing- | ton was made by me on common rumor and 1 so stated in my speech in Mem- | phis, Tenn, | Gives Basis of Speech. “The rumors had been current in Mississippi for some time that Mary | Booze stated after returning from a | meeting of the Republican national | committee in Washington that she had' danced with Mr. Hoover. This stat ment was repeated in a public speech in the City of Jackson by another | party, and it was upon this informa- tion that I made the statement in| question in speech in Memphis. | | Nothing was said about your dancing | | Mary at Mount Bayou. | “I notice that you. through your | secretary, brand the statement that you | | danced with Mary as the most indecent and unworthy statement in this whole | bitter campaign. and you state further that for any person to vote against you | upon a representation of this kind would forover be a most infamous blot upon | the rccord of the State of Mississippi. | "Now I do not desire to be unfair to you in the slightest degree, but I want to ask you if you think it would be of- | fensive to you' or indecent, infamous or | disgraceful for you to come in contact | with or dance with a woman of the colored race. “If, according to your ideas of social | equality. you do not think it indecent | or infamous to have it said of you that | you dznced with Mary Booze, a mem- ber o the colored race. then why do vou | get exercised and all ‘heated up' when 11t is said of you that you danced with | Mary Booze? If you do not consider 1t indecent to meet socially or dance with nounced for rej you had done so’ Requests Answers. “Please answer these questions that peonle can know from your own lips whether or not I have done you an injustice. You owe it to the people to answer these questions before the elec- tion, and I trust that your answer will not be as evasive and ambiguous as your | position on so many other public ques- | | tiens in this campaizn. “Answer these questions frankly.| Put your cards on the table. Republican | | office seekers have ‘buncoed’ the colored { voters long enough with sheer promises | for political purposes. You say that the Democrats favor tariff for revenue only. | Judging by past performances. the Re- | nublican partv is for the colored race for offices onlv. “The American people will wait | anxiously for your full and frank reply.” | COSTS SWEDEN $80.000.

Placing his fist in his pocket and | repeating gesture Heman George Chapin is alleged to have used in the drug store of Dr. Irving Sirota, Third and G streets, Monday morning. Judge John P.

A newspaper man who had seen Cnapin the night before he was ar- rested was brought in by the defense too drunk to be responsible for his actions. coherent and unsteady, but not exactly staggering drunk.” S. Rothbard, attorney for Chapin, ar- | gued thaf his client “was intoxicated | “and was not in a state of mind so as | to form any intent, a specific intent | being necessary in a case of threats.” The court, however, reviewed the tes- timony to show that the man knew what “jack” was, recognized money when h2 saw it and immediately upon | rrest . wanted to know the charge | against him. When defens> counsel | showed a disposition to contest these assertions Judge McMahon declared there was no use to prolong the argu- ment and impnsed sentence. | Chapin said he had taken a number of drinks and claimed the incident in | the drug store was a total blank in his memory when the case was first calléd Tuesday. { Government witnesses said . Chapin had come in the store, placed an order, | put his fist in his coat pocket, pointed | it at Dr. Sirota and asked for “some lack.” When the contents of the cash Irawer were placed before him, he re- fused to take them and left. He was arrested by Policeman Bridges of the seventh precinct, whom he had asked for a “lift” in front of the store.
