RN G 0P STARD ONDRYSSUEURGED Col. Thomas G. Pownall Comes Out in Flat Mary- land Declaration. @pecial Dispatch to The Star. ! CUMBERLAND, Md, September 2.— Col. Thomas G. Pownall, retired busi- ness man, who has been active in the Republican party for many years, hav- ing gone on the stump in many cam- paigns, wants the Republican party in Maryland to take a decided stand on the prohibition’ question and let it be known in the platform to be adopted by the State convention scon to meet. Col. Pownall was one of the Progressive leaders in Maryland. Last Spring he was a candidate for city commissioner | and receiv>d a large vote. Col. Pownall's Views. Pertaining to the present State cam- paign he says: “The Democratic party of Maryland has repeatedly declared its opposition to the eighteenth amendment and its refusal to aid in the enforcement of it. There is nothing ambiguous about it, and it follows that voters wish to know where the Republican party and its can- | didates stand on this matter, which has | already become a paramount issue. The | administration of President Hoover ( merits indorsement without stint and no | doubt will be indorsed by the Repub- lican convention, which, of itself, will commit the party to the enforcement of the law. This true, why should Re- publican leaders and candidates long toy and flirt with a situation which cannot be changed? “The Democratic party has made the issue and issued a defy which cannot be ignored or evaded. To meet it frank- 1y may mean success, but to temporize with it, or straddle it, means certain defeat. Voters do not care, and should not care, whether or not candidates like the eighteenth amendment. Wet offi- clals may be good citizens and good officials, and dry officials may be also. That's a personal matter and should not concern voters, but they do wish to know, and have a right to know, whether or not their candidates will, if elected, aid in the enforcement of that law and all other laws, or whether they will en- force the laws they like and ignore and flout those they do not like, as is the ! custom of the present Democratic ad- | ministration. 1 “A party or its candidates too timor- | ous or cowardly to declare its or their | attitude on that matter would, no doubt, | be too weak or vacilating to do its or | their duty if in power. Would Clear Situation. “This issue, if boldly and definitely faced, will clear the political situation | and bring the scandals of the present | administration out of the dark corner | into which they have been adroitly tucked away and make them a potent issue and a powerful Republican asset. The question, ‘Is he wet or is he dry?’ is hackneyed and boresome and should be supplemented by the question, ‘Is he for the laws and all of them and will he, if elected, have regard for the oath to which he must subscribe?’ “If T were giving counsel to Republi- ean leaders, I would say, ‘Don't let the Democrats etherize you and throw sand in your eyes and obscure their sins, but force the fighting.” | A SRR ORDERS SOVIET TO PAY LONDON, September 2 M’).#The} Russian Soviet government would pay | the Lena Goldfields, an English firm, about 13,000,000 pounds sterling under the terms of a ruling of an arbitration court here today. ‘The company, operating a gold con- eession under contract from the Russian wernment, alleged their offices had | Boer Taided by secret police and in other ways they had been prevented from living up_to the terms of their agreement. A British arbitration court took evidence in the case. The agreement between the Soviet and the English company has now been | ended. FACES MURDER CHARGE | BUFFALO, N. Y., September 2 (#).— | While police of Baltimore sought John Ford, colored, 35, in connection with the fatal stabbing of his first wife in July, 1926, Ford today faced a charge | of murder, first degree, here, after his second wife died today In a hospital. Police said that Ford stabbed his wife || during a quarrel last night. According | to police he was known to Baitimore police as John Thomas.

F. P. AMOS DIES Cavalry Officer Expires at Omaha on Tour of Duty. Col. Frank P. Amos, U. S. Cavalry, died yesterday at Omaha, Nebr., where he has becen stationed for several months. He was a native of Racine, Wis., and was graduated from the Military Academy in June, 1896. All his service was in the Cavalry. | He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Katherine H. Amos, who was with him in Omaha i CIRCUS FEATURED BY LD STANDBYS Amos 'n’ Andy, Among Newer | Acts, Given Big Hand by Holiday Crowd. There was the scream of the old-time calliope yesterday out at Camp Melgs, almost drowning out the blare of the | circus band. The redoubtable Tom Mix | came galloping in on Tony, waving his | 10-gallon white sombrero gallantly to | the ladies. Followed elephants, each | firmly grasping in his trunk the tail of the next, and the Sells-Floto circus was_on All of the good old-fashioned circus | standbys were there—the performing seals, the horses galloping madly around | the ‘sawdust trail with clowns and equestriennes leaping on and off their backs, the elephants doing their best to pound their massive feet on tubs o waltz time, and making a pretty good g0 of it, the ladies and gentlemen in fleshings letting go of one trapeze and catching on to the next, and the clowns. Clown Taxi Erratic. Among the latter Amos ‘n’ Andy got a big hand. They just couldn't get their fresh air taxicab to work. After they had been hoisted off of the fenders by several resounding explosions, the taxi got the heaves and started madly off by itself. Before they could figure out what Had happened it was on them again, taking them by surprise with a rear attack. The lady emulator of Lillian Leitzel left nobody in any doubt about the strength of her right arm as she threw herself over and over high up in the air. The other aerial performers did not seem so certain of themselves and sev- eral times hit the protecting net and sprawled out. Equestrienne Tumbles. The iady who took the hardest spill of zll, however, found no.net to protect her. She was one of the equestriennes on the high stepping horses. She tried to take a jump that looked too high for Apollo Souceck, and almost made it. But the pony hooked his hoof in the topmost bar and they came down witha crash. She got up, however, and after a little time out went after it again. She got an ovation as her mount went over with practically nothing to spare. A fair sized crowd turned out to the matinee performance, among _them almost the entire Headquarters Detec- tive Bureau. Clarence Talley and Lieut. Ed Kelly were the admitted leaders in matters sartorial. The circus has two more shows today before head- ing South. flfimr ’spruditon cooking GULDENS .
