His race with Butler has slowly been taking on the semblance of a contest between the old guard Re- publicans in Massachusetts and those who may be called the “young guard.” In the old days Butler was a right- hand man of the late Murray Crane, long a political leader. Still later he became Republican national commit- tgepian and chairman to handle. the jdge campaign for President. He de one slip, however, in 1924, which shrewder. politiciah would not have n guilty of. In that year, Mr. Cool- e was up for nomination at Cleve: d and Mr. Butler as national chair- n was riding high. ZThe late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, t before the Cleveland convention, d the temerity to vote to pass the diers’ bonus bill over President Cool- idge’'s veto. When Mr. Lodge came out Cleveland as a member of the Mas- chusetts delegation, he was treated valierly to say the least by Chairman tler. The _supporters have ver forgotten that -fact.. Many of m are against Butler today in his est: for the senatorial nomination. Mrs. Constance Willlams, & daughter of the late Senator Lodge, has come out for Draper. ' So has &:lry Cabot Lodge, 3d, a grandson of Senator. They are worl aetively for the nomina- tion ot Buytler's o] ent. Other prominent Republicans who, for one Teason or another, have indorsed the candidacy of Draper are: B. Loring Young, Republican nominee for the Senate against David I. Walsh in 1828 and former Speaker of- the House; Sinclair Weeks, son of the late John W. Weeks, who was Senator and Secretary of War in his time, and Christian A. Herter, who has for long been a close friend of President Hoover and whose advice Mr. Hoover has repeatedly sought, it is said. Mr. Herter insists that Draper is the better qualified of the two candi- dates for the Senate and he goes further and says that to support & man who is for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment is after all no disloyalty to President Hoover. Mr. Butler's friends have sought to imply in this campaign that a vote for Draper is an attack on ‘Hoover. Previous Defeat Stressed. The so-called Hoover Republicans in Massachusetts have no great love for Mr. Butler being one of those who stood out for a long time against the nomina. tions of Hoover.

However this may be, the Democrats here frankly admit they prefer to see Mr. Butler nominated over Mr. Draper. Mr. Butler replies to this defeatist talk, asserting that it is all “bunk” and that if the Republicans will get’ behind him they will win in November. He is not stressing prohibition in his cam: paign, but puts himself forward as champion of better business for Massa- chusetts, a distinct need at this time, hether rum is or is not. W “Better Trade” Butler’s Slogan. “Better business” has become the But- ler slogan, indeed. And while Draper is posing to tinker with the Constitu- mmnwdoluyflmmuond prohibition, Butler is proposing -an amendment the Constitution which ‘would call for an eight-hour work day all over the Union. This eight-hour day amendment, Mr. Butler argues, would not only be of advantage to the laboring man generally, but would be of particular benefit to New England. He points out that New England mills and factories, which work their em- ployes only eight hours a day, are at a disadvantage in competition with mills and factories of the South, for example, which compel their employes to work | P longer hours. Industries which hitherto have thriven in New England, he says, have moved South because of the ability to get cheaper labor. Draper ridicules the proposal for an eight-hour-day constitutional amend- ment, declaring it could never be adopted. Mr. Butler, on the other hand, ridicules the plan of Mr. Draper for the repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment, saying that it cannot be brought pass, Gov. Allen will win renomination hands down. His opponent is John D. Devir, former mayor of Malden, who s running as an out-and-out wet. In the contests for seats in the House this year the Democrats are counti: on defeating Underhill and Gifford, ant feel they have a chance against the veteran Treadway and possibly Dallin- er. They may give Mrs. Edith Nourse rs a battle up in the Lowell dis- but even the!Democrats admit that’ Mrs. Rogers has 50 strong a per- sonal following that it will be extremely difficult to defeat her. ) After the primary elections have been held here and the party nomina- tions have been made it will be possible more nearly to assay the chances of Democratic or Republican success. Should Draper do the unexpected and win the senatorial nomination, running as & wet, the Democrats, who also will nominate & wet, must do some fast thinking. They will, to be sure, play up the unemployment and hard times and general tisfaction. But that might not be sufficient. VIRGINIA G. 0.

Sivertsen, owner of the sealing ves- sel Terningen, today denied emphatical- ly that Skipper Gustav Jensen of the ‘Terningen had retracted his story about the finding of the bodies and effects of the Andree Expedition by the Horn rty. Sivertsen declared that whatever Capt. Jensen said is trus and that the report of discovery of the Andree Ex- pendition is correct. Sivertsen con- tinued: “I have known Skipper Jensen for | many years and whatever he says you can rely upon. He is very careful and never would tell anything he was not sure of. “The message which Jensen brought back from Horn bore Horn's own sig- nature. This message has been pre- served here in Tromsoe, Jensen has been sailing North since 1916. There is not a shade of doubt about the discovery. “I belleve everything he says. It is terrible for any one to create s sensa- | g tion by casting doubt on the authenticity of his story.” Herr Krane, who is Silvertsen's part- ner, stated this forenoon that he had called the Copenhagen report ta Jen- sen’s attention and Jensen replied: “It is all right The find has been made. It stands in my log and the British Vice Consul Seather has the original message from Horn. If this message l:‘hkhe then everything else must be a fake.” Jensen Reveals Log. Further to prove his veracity, Skipper Jensen today showed the Associated Press his red log, carefully locked in his cabin on the Terningen, the only decoration in which is a picture of Roald Amundsen. One entry in the log read: “August 8," 1930. 'oday good weather with smuc breeze from northwest. We got 2 seals. We met Bratvaag of Alesund with’ Dr. Horn's expedition on board. On the sixth Bratvaag touched at ‘White Island. On southwest side of island they found Andree's camp. The dead and their equipment were brought aboard Bratvaag. All well for day.” Silvertsen detailed how Jensen came to him and told him the news when he first landed at Tromsoe. The ship- owner said: > “Jensen said, ‘I have big news for you.

Jensen said he brought back not only a letter for the Norwegian government's Spitzbergen mission, but another for Dr. Horn's wife, Jensen said he asked Dr. Horn if there was any objection to the skip- per's telling the Terningen’s owner about Dr. Horn's discovery. The seal- er's captain sald Dr. Horn had told him there was no objection. Capt. Jensen told the Associated Press that eight days after meeting the Bratvaag he met the ship Hanséat, under command of Skipper Groedahl. Groedahl told Jensen he had been on White Island three weeks before, but had not seen anything unusual, except an old tin can, which must have come from some expedition. Jensen said he then told Groedahl about Dr. Horn's discovery and showed Groedahl Dr. Horn's message. Groedahl, Jensen asserted, expressed surprise that he had not seen any traces of Andree's camp, but made no further comment. Once Swept Streets in United States. Andree once swept streets in an Amer- ican city to get money for his food. Oluf Oisen, 90-year-old sailor friend, tells the story, and sagely quoted as an appropriate comment what some one has told him was said of the poet Homer, “Seven great citles mourn for Homer dead, through which the living Homer begged for bread.” Olsen and Andree were buddies in an expedition to Spitzbergen in 1882, and during the long Winter night there Andree used to tell stories of his adven- tures in many lands, and how he had had to sweep streets in America—Olsen doesn’t remember the city—in order to t. “Andree was interested in all sorts of odd things,” Olsen says. “I remember | one time on that expedition he made me shut myself up in a hut in the dark with him for a month 30 that he could study the effect of darkness on the eyes. “By golly, that was a job. Every little while Andree would measure the pupils of my eyes to see what had happened to them, and occasionally a doctor would come in and stab the ends of our fingers with lances to get test. Andree was as excited as if he had discovered the North Pole. Always Studying, “Well, I didn't mind so long as it pleased him, for he was a good fellow. Always he was like that. He wanted to study. He told me he had been to the United States to study. But I don’t know what he studied there, because he told me he had to sweep streets to get money to live, CONSUL QUESTIONS DISCOVERY.

(Continued Prom First Page.) i Dr. Muzumdar states, for the express purpose of interpreting India’s position in the so-called rebellion and he car- ries with him a letter which guaran- tees his status as an unofficial agent of the All-India National Congress at whose request he has .made this trip “to interpret the Gandhi movement to the peoples of the Western world.”. He also carries this message, written in Gandhi's handwriting: “I want world sympathy for this mgvement.” 3 Although a native Indian, Muszuin- dar gained much of his education in the United States, receiving his degree of master of arts from Northwestern Uni- versity in 1926. He was later awarded a degree of doctor of philosophy at the University of Wisconsin, whera for some time he was a member of the faculty. He returned to India last Christmas to lend his efforts in support of the Gandhi cause. Expectation of self-rule for India within three years, Dr. Muzumdar said, les in the further conviction that the continued refusal of Gandhi supporters to pay British taxes and their boycott of foreign-made fabrics will 5o have em- barr: Engl- 1d that the viceroy wili be forced t) guarantee accession to Gandhi’s freedom demands. According to Dr. Muzumdar, Gandhi's campaign already has embarrassed Great Pritain, bringing about a deficit of more than $7,000,000 to the Bombay governinent in terms of estimated revenue and re- ducing governmental machinery in the vm'uu of Gujerat to a disorganized state. Results Not Yet Apparent. “The results of this war of non-re- sistance are by no means apparent at the present time,” Dr. Muzumdar said. “The rebellion may really be consid- ered an infant. Last March when Gandhi made his march to the sea, for instance, the land tax already had been paid up. The real crisis has not yet arrived. Next January, when the next taxes are due, will give some indication of the power of the movement. Hun- dreds of villages have bound themselves not to pay taxes, “The results of the boycott on Brit- ish goods also_will be more noticeable by that time. What this will mean may be estimated when I tell you that each year $200,000,000 is sent outside India for the purchase of cotton fabrics, much of it coming from England, which relies almost wholly on India for her fab- rics market. This year only a fraction of that will be spent, for our people are spinning and weaving their own clot] “I can predict—and I believe it is a sound prediction—that as a result, the number of unemployed in England three months from now will have increased by from 50 to 100 per cent.” ‘The rebellion, he said, also has served to unite Moslems and Hindus. “There is no Moslem-Hindu problem in India today,” he said. Speaking of Gandhi’'s “minimum de- mands,” Dr. Muzumda said, “I am in a position to state positively that Gandhi will not consent to a suspension of the | movement, nor will the Congress par- ticipate in any round-table discussion of peace without a guaranty of those prin- ciples as a basis. By ‘substance of in- dependence’ for India,” he explained, “Gandhi means full freedom for India to enter into any scheme of trade rela- tions with the other countries of the world—have control of her ,own finances.” World Sympathy Sought. Dr. Muzumdar hastened to state that in coming to the United States there was not even the slightest wish to foment any ill-feeling here against Great Britain. “Relations between the United States and Great Britain are friendly,” he said. “and Gandhi and all his fol- | lowers would not wish it otherwise. My one purpose in coming to your country is to present a true .nterpre- tation of India's position. Gandhi told me, before I started, ‘I want world sympathy for this movement,’ and that is what I am trying to bring about. Nothing more. India has the friend! est of feeling toward America, and we want her to be understood here. “All that India wants is independ- ence. Her ple believe she snould have the right to conduct her own re- lations with the rest of the world. In beginning this campaign for indepen ence, the salt tax was selected as a symbol, because the salt tax affected every one, however slightly. The amount is not comparatively large— about $20,000,000 & year. Yet the cost of salt production js not large either. It costs about 2 cents in American money to produce 80 pounds of salt. Yet there 1s a tax of 40 cents on every 80 pounds. It also must be taken into consideration that the income of the :udn" Indian is less than 4 vents ay.” ‘Thinking of the Gandhi supporters As an army, Dr. Muzumdar said that it would be impossible to estimate their numbers with any degree of accuracy. He asserted: “Gandhl has exhorted them to con- centrate on three principal methods of non-resistance—pay no taxes, buy no British and buy no liquor, thus establishing a voluntary state of pro- hibition. Taxes to the British govern- ment from India on liquor and oplum amounts to $85,000,000 a ye: ‘The salt tax is another $20,000,000. If these amounts could be saved the country, and to these be added another saving of $200,000,000 which yearly goes out- side for the purchase of cofton fabrics, by reviving the weaving industry for which India was once famous, there would result a total saving in those lone of more than $300,000,000. for a country whose :vz;p citizen’s earning is but 4 cents (Copyright, 1930.) sented the Messrs.

These two theaters are not represented in the Motion Picture Theater Owners' Asso- clation, whose ultimatum not to renew contracts with the Musicians’ Protective Union after their expiration tomorrow gave rise to a dispute which threatened for a time to darken Washington movie houses. The signing followed an amicable conference _between the Wage Scale Committee of Local No. 22 of Stage Employes, L. Stoddard Taylor renl’;~ the Belasco and S. E. Cochran represented the National Theater. “In consideration of the existing de- pression in the amuesment business,” it was stated by the managers this morn- ing, “the employes agreed to a two-year extension of the existing wage scale. Other changes in working conditions involved concessions from both sides which will operate to reduce the present back-stage expense.” These two theaters do not enter into the controversy between the musicians and the movie theater operators, be- tween whom a truce was agreed to which preserves the status quo of musi- clans, stage hands and projectionists pending the outcome of negotiations.

By the Associated Press. i CURTISS - REYNOLDS AIRPORT, Chicago, August 30.—Eleven fiyers were grooming a novel assortment of speed craft today for the climax of the Na- tlonal Air Races, the Thompson Trophy classic Labor day. Capt. Arthur Page, Marine Corps fiyer, hoisted a new motor of great power into his revamped military fighter in the hope of raising its speed to 250 miles an_hour or magre. His ship is the same in which the late Charles Lutz won the Curtiss Marine Trophy race in 1928 and in which Capt. Page won the race this year with a record speed of 162 miles an hour. It has been vastly altered, however, the lower set of wings being removed to make a monoplane, each wheel of the landing gear being mounted on in- dividual struts and the engine cooling taken care of by “skin” radiators on the wings. A tip has been taken from Great Britain’s entrants in the last Schneider Cup race, and a large vent installed to feed an air stream into the motor to step up the power like a supercharger. Three Mystery Planes. There are three ships called “mys- tery” planes entered in the race, but the real mystery plane to entrants is one developed by E. M. Laird, Chicago. The plane is a Laird speedwing, but has been kept under cover at a far end of the airport. Low-wing ‘“mystery” planes, capable of speeds upward of 225 miles an_hour, have been entered by OCapt. Frank Hawks, holder of transcontinental speed tecords for both easterly and westerly flights; Jimmy G. Haizlip, St. Louls, and Paul Adams, Coronado, Calif. Capt. Hawks will fly the same plane he raced twice across the continent, but 1t has been changed for the Labor day race with finer streamlinings, a new propellor of increased pitch and other refinements. Three tiny ships, with a wing span of 20 feet each and all of special construc- tion, are entered by D. A. Fowlie, Mar- shall, Mo.; B. O. Howard, St. Louls, and Keith Rider, San Prancisco. Expects 194 Miles an Hour. Rider's; entrant, tested at 180 miles an hoar, is calculated by its designer to do 194 miles an hour with a tiny 134-horsepower motor.

Earl Smith, Blackwell, Okla., has en- tered a special Cessna ship, while James R. Wedell and Errett Willilams, both of Patterson, La., will pilot craft designed by Williams. The race is designed to be a flight laboratory for stimulating the bullding of high speed ships and will be run over a 100-mile distance. To the win- ner will go $5,000 in cash and a gold plaque of the $5,000 trophy in competi- tion for the first time; the second pilot will receive $3,000 and a silver plaque, while the fiyer placing third will be given $2,000 and a bronze plaque, Bank Head Admits Shortage. MACON, Ga., August 30 -—State Banking Department examiners an- nounced today that T. Wallace Hawkes, president of the Merchants & Me- | place. Mr. Neal pointed out that the com- pany had received during June & rental item of $18,528.33, which was not due until July. Instead of waiting until July to credit this to the books, it was credited at once. In 1929 the corre- sponding item was credited in.July. Therefore this year the July figures ap- peared worse than they actually were. Reported as $8456.98 the $18,000 item should be added in order to get & true comparison with the ‘hooks of July last year. This would bring the income figure of last month up to $26,- 985.31 and show a decrease of around 30 per cent rather than the 78 per cent figure quoted in The Star yester- o $18,000 figure, however, should be then subtracted from the June income figure of $36,004.39 in order to make the Jume figure compar- able to that for the preceding June. ‘There was nothing in the July report as it reached the offices of the Public Utilities Commission to show that the $18,000 item or any other item should hdve been included in the July fig- ures. 3 , however, t & report of the matter had been made by him to his board of directors as explaining the apparent increase in the June figures. Making the revision asked by Mr. Neal. the new set-up would be: Net income, July, 1929, $38,488.14; July, 1930, $26,985.3 Decrease, $11 502.
