A2 . BULKLEY PREDICTS DEMOCRAT SWEEP' Ohio Voters to Oust G. 0. P.; In State and Congressional Races, He Says. (Continued From First Page.) hammering on all three. It is true that there is a distinct division among the Democratic candidates on the wet | and dry issue. For example, Mr. Bulk- ley, who is running for the Senate against Senator Roscoe C. McCulloch, is strongly for the repeal of the eight- | eenth amendment, and at_ the same time George White, the Democrs! nominee for Governor, has had a “dr record and is strong for “law enfor ment." This division over the wet and dry ssue among the Democratic candidates and pariy leaders in Ohio has brought sbout a decision on the part of the leaders not to write a prohibition or anti-prohibition plank into their State platform when the Democratic State convention meets this week. They are going to imitate the Republicans in this Tespect, who have left the prohibition issue pretty much invthe air in their latform. This seems strange in Ohio, he very cradle of the Anti-Saloon League. But Ohio has long had very “wet” spots, among them Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo. In these popu- lous centers this year the wet senti- ment is running high. The Republi- can leaders have no desire to offend these wets, and at the same time thev have to stand in line with tho rural ~communities end small, towns whe the dry cause has besn pariicular] strong. Bulkley is “Repealer.” Bo far as the wet issue is concerned, it appears that the Democrats in this Ohio campaign are going to benefit from the fact that they have a candidate for the Senate who stands squarely for repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Mr. Bulkley describes himself rather as & ‘“repealer” than as a “wel"” “Call me anything you like, so long as you don't call me a dry,” is the way he puts it, however. The Democrats also have wet candi~ dates for election to the House in 9 at least of the 22 congressional districts | of the State. ‘The people of Ohio, according to re- ports, are disgruntied over the failure of the last two administrations to en- force the prohibition law. This in- cludes even so-called drys, This fact is aiding the Democrats against the Republicans. Mr. Bulkley is enthusiastically for re- of the eighteenth amendment. He says frankly that prohibition has not proved a success and that the control of the liquor traffic is a matter which should be left to the States, and mot undertaken by the National Govern- ment. “The demand for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment,” said Mr. Bulk- ley yesterday, at Democratic head- quarters here, growing stronger and stronger in the Middle West. Formerly the repeal sentiment was confined in great part to the States of the Easiern | seaboard and to certsin Indusirial} centers in other States. But you would be surprised to see how the de- mand for repeal has grown in recent months in -communities which in the | past have been strongly for national prohibition.” Demoerats Are United. ‘The Democrats say that they are more strongly united and working in ter harmony in Ohio this year than The “big four” of Newton D. Baker, former Gov. Donahey, former Gov. “Jimmy” Cox and former Senator Pomerene, will all be in the campaign, hammering the Republicans. Baker, admittedly one of the ablest men in the Democratic party, and War Secre- tary in the Wilson administration, is heading the campaign committee for the election of M Bulkley to the Benate. * Mr, Bulkley, who is & lawer of Cleve- land, s graduste of Harvard in the class, , served in the House from 1911 to 1915. “Political history is repeating itself,” Mr, Buckley said, commenting upon the situation which cxisted in 1910, when he was first selected to the House, halfway through the Taft administra- tion, and the siutation which exists today. “The Repuslican party during the first two years of the Taft adminis- tration lost ground heavily. It has done so in 1930. Conditions in Ohio economically are such as to,lcad to a! political upheav ‘We have had bank failures and brea s in the last vear to & far greater extent than has been the case for many years.” ‘The Democratic nominee for Senator has strong newspaper support in the State, with the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Cox newspapers, the Scripps- Howard newspapers and many other dailies favoring his election. Most of them are supporting him on his stand for repeal of the Eighteenth Amend- ment, and others for his attack on ‘he tariff and because of depression in business. Bulkley, it is predicted, will run even more strongly than will the Democratic candidate for Governor, George White. Mr. White was formerly a member of the House and in 1920 chairman of the | Democratic National Committee. White is orpolln‘ Gov. Meyers Y. Cooper, Re- publican incunbent, S Twe years ago President Hoover car- ried Ohio by 763,000 votes over Alfred E. Smith. At the same time the Repub- licans in Ohio elected two Senators, the late Senator Burton, who was run- ning for the “short term,” the unex- ired term of the late Senator Frank B. illis, and Senator Fess. They elected 19 of the 22 members of the House delegation and a Republican Governor. Senator Burton won by 573,000 votes and Fess by a somewhat larger lead. gubernatorial race was closer, Cooper wining by 249,000 votes. It is eclear that if the Democrats are to carry Ohio this November there must be great turnover in the vote. For that rea- son a Democratic victory would be all the more significant. 25.MILE AUTO SPEED AND MORE 30-MILE ZONES CONSIDERED (Continued Prom ‘Pirst Page) - adual elimination of all night park- g over the entire District within & period of five years ‘The first zone would have been created in the out- lying sections in the first year. The second year, the zone would be ex- tended further toward the center of the city, and so on, until at the end of five years, there would be no area with- in the District where parking would be permitted all night. ‘The subcommittee found in its study of the parking problem that the chief objection to all-night parking is the interference with street-cleaning oper- ations and snow removal in the Winter. It also learned that at times, cars par ed outside all night have interfered with fire apparatus. It did not put much credence in the reports that all- arking prevented the capture of inals.

Thomas F. Webb, a veteran of many years of voyaging. “We encoun- tered tremendous seas.” Capt. Webb said the Magmeric was in the center of the hurricane, which he | estimated to have a velocity of 90 to 100 | ]mlks_dln hour. Describing the storm, he said: “The wind gathered force practically without warning, attained a maximum intensity, was interrupted by a brief calm, raged for a while more and then | diminished as quickly as it came up. “A 4 a. m.

The Bureau of Mines m making the figures public yesterday said the value of metallic products of the mines was about 15 per cent greater than in 1928. Nearly half of the increase was ac- counted for by a rise in the value of copper. All the important metals con- | tributed to the increase, however, save gold and silver, The upward trend did not bring the total to the high levels of the last 10 vears, the value of the mineral products in 1926 being $6,213,600,000 and $6,981 - 340,000 in 1920.

Realizing that the So- cialists and Communists by virtue of | torn not only by civil distrust for the POLITICAL UNREST GROWING IN CUBA America Obligated to Inter-| vene if Revolution Occurs as in Past. Political unrest in Cuba, which has been growing daily, yesterday began to cause genuine concern in administra- tion cireles, despite an outward ap- pearance of calm. ‘American intervention in the affairs of the Cuban government has been forced several times before in situations which are almost identical to the pre: ent one. Both President Roosevelt and | President Taft were obliged to land | troops under the Platt amendment | when public disapproval of existing re- | gimes became widespread. | United States Obligated. Joseph P. Cotton, Undersecretary of State, addressing newspaper corre- | spondents yesterday in the absence of Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State, pointed out that the relations between the United States and Cuba are vastly different from the relations between the United States and Argentina or | Peru. This country, he said, is bound | to go to the assistance of Cuba if its | established government is overthrown. | Asked pointedly whether the United | States would intervene in a revolution | in Cuba under existing conditions, Mr. | Cotton replied that a prophecy as to | what action would be taken would not | be wise at this time. He added, how- ever, that there is a treaty which im- poses specific duiies and invited the correspondents to read it for themselves The treaty in question, popularly re- ferred to as the Platt Amendmeng suthorizes the United Sfates to inter- vene in_any case where the indepen- | dence of Cuba is threatened or where | a proper and legally established form | of government is attacked. Interven- tion also is authorized if an attempt is made to introduce an improper form of government, President Is Disturbed. The present Cuban “situation” is due to popular dislike for President Ger- ardo Machada and the manner in which he caused himself to be elected | to office & second time. To bring about his election he had the Cuban constitu- tion revised. As & result the island is present administration, but rumblings have come from the army as well. A similar situation was presented fol- | lowing_the election of the first presi- dent, Estrada Palma, in 1902. During his first administration he was non- rtisan and there was no trouble. As is administration drew to a close, however, he headed the Moderate party and had the laws chang:d so that it would dominate the forthcoming elec- tion. The Liberals charged that Moderate guards prevented them from voting. Palma was re-elected. A revolution resulted and President Roosevelt, at the request of Palma, sent two warships to Havana. He.announced, however, that it was a very serious thing to undertake intervention and| issued orders that troops were not to be landed except under orders from the State Department in Washington. Palma and his cabinet resigned and the United States established a pro- visional government, presided over by American officlals. American forces were not withdrawn until 1908, when President Gomez was elected. Marines Quelled Revolt. ‘Three years later Marines were sent back. The Veteranist organization de- manded the dismissal from office of Cubans who had fought on the side of Spain in the war of 1898. President Taft dispatched a note, saying the United States viewed the situation with deep concern. No sooner had this been settled than a Negro party revolted. President Taft sent 500 Marines and warships to Guatanamo, " warning the Cuban government -at the -same time that he expected it to put down the insurrection. The revolt ended within two months. Again in 1916, when President Meno- cal arranged to have himself elected twice, the United States rushed war- ships to Cuba. This time the American forces were not withdrawn until 1922, the revolt having ended, however some years before when the State De. partment warned the rebels it would regard them as enemies of this country if they persisted. The last attempt at | a revolution was in 1924. This time the United States placed an embargo | against the sale of arms to the rebels | and the revolt collapsed. Embassy Denies Unrest. Bach time Cuba has been Ihrelltned’ by revolution the United States has in- tervened in some form, every time go- ing further than merely attempting to protect foreign interests. There is no doubt here that a new rebellion would be met in the same way. The United States has taken the position repeatedly that it will not tolerate the overthrow of Cuban governments by force of arms. The Cuban embassy issued the follow- ing statement yesterda “The Cuban embassy, in view of news | and rumors spread within the past few | days about unrest in Cuba, wishes to make known that they never had any foundation, and the embassy announces that cables have been received from its government up to today to the effect that complete peace reigns in the coun- try and that ail national activities con- tinue to function normally.

Pershing, retired, acs knowledged his 70th birthday yesterday with many a salute and handshake, but nevertheless remained at his desk long after all other War Department offices had closed. During the day an almost constant stream of callers moved through the door marked “General of the Armies.” Singly and by twos, nine generals came to pay respects to their former com- mander, and at one time a sheaf of more than 150 telegrams collected from many parts of the world were taken to his flower-covered desk. The felicitations of President Hoover were brought by Lieut. Col. Campbell B. Hodges, military alde at the White House, while other Government of- ficlals, civilian friends, Army officers, nd even an admiral were in the long | line which came t congratulate the | former leader of.the biggest army this country has ever known. Pershing himself, white-haired and wearing & dark business sult and blue tle, showed few signs of his three score and ten years. During the afternoon as Government | offices closed for the customary Satur- day half-holiday, and the stream of callers diminished, Gen. Pershing con- tinued the routine tasks which daily occupy his time. He answered cor- | respondence coming to him as head of the Battle Monuments Commission and custodian of resting places of Ameri- can dead in France. Later he discussed with publishers matters pertaining to his just-finished memoirs as a I r of the American Expeditionary Forces in_France. But also, in moments of leisure at his desk overlooking the green of the White House grounds, he recalled other birthdays and events of the 70-year span since he was born in a tiny house near Meadville, Mo. There was & day 44 years ago when s & recent graduate of West Point, he | celebrated his first Army birthday as a second lleutenant in the Cavalry. There was another day many yea later when he celebrated a birthday as & commander of forces in action along the Mexican border, And it w just 12 years ago, the general recalled, that he was celebrat- ing with his staff one of the greatest victorles of the war, that at St. Mihiel, which was won under his command, by American troops and American officers.

The final two 4-{- of nvl-wlné the League's work are likely to provide at least two important addresses. These will be by Foreign Minister Curtius of Germany, and Senator Scialoja, head of the Italian delegation. Curtius has been hampered by the fact that the | German elections ‘will be held tomor- row and preferred to await the results before addressing his colleagues. ‘Well informed circles thought it pos- sible that Senator Scialoja might make an important pronouncement on the neral subject of disarmament and the | Italian attitude toward the Briand plan. : It was said also that Foreign Minister Grandi, who left here after the first | two days of the Council meeting, might | return for the first meeting of the new Council next Wednesday.

The proposed combina- | tion of Central European agricultural | states, which was discussed at a recent | Warsaw conference, has been the sub- | Ject of some informal talks here. Theré has also been some talk of a scheme known to be dear to Chan- cellor Schober of Austria for revival of a sort of economic union between the succession states holding the ter- ritorfes of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire. Another grouping would be of the principal industrial states, led by Germany and including Czechoslovakia and Austria. All these schemes except the fist are in a very nebulous state, but the mere discussion of them shows what a the Briand plan gave to the “u- ing snowball. l CONSUMPTION ADDS $95,000 REVENUES _ (Continued From Pirst Page.) and was due, it was said, largely to the lifting of certain restrictions on lawn and sidewalk sprinkling which were strictly enforced prior to the comple- tion of the new supply conduit to the Delecarlia Reservoir. Since the water department is sup- ported almost entirely on the revenues from the sale of water, the increased consumption, carrying with it a greater | income, has enabled it to start work on a comprehensive five-year program of modernization .and improvement of the distribution system. The water rates were raised this year to provide sufficient funds to carry the program through the five-year period. Income to Increase. Maj. Donovan's estimated income of $2,007,000 for the current year, is on the new water rates and will give the water department nearly $500,000 more than it received last year through, the sale of water and water main as- sessments. The increase in rates was from $6.36 to $8.75 for domestic flat- rate consumers not using in excess of 7,500 cubic feet of water and from $7.03 to $9.85 for consumers on an un- metered service. The $9.85 rate is for buildings of two stories with a front footage of 16 feet or less. For each additional foot 44 cents is added. Ma)j. Donovan’s figures also show that | the water revenues have increased every * year, except two, since 1924, when the rates were raised 25 per cent. In 1024, the total income for the sale of water and assessments, amounted to $1,035,858. ‘The following year it dropped slightly to $1,023,603.
