THREE STATES GRP POLTICAL NTEREST ‘Campaigns Complicated by Wet-Dry Issue in Massachu- setts, New York, lllinois. i BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The eyes of the political world are on Massachus:tts, New York and Illi- mnols, where prohibition has so com- plicated the campaign that the Demo- crats in each of the three States are confident of a subftantial victory. It is unusual for the Dimocrats to say they are to capture Iilinols and it would have bzen unusual for them to feel certain of Massachusetts had it n-t been for the fact that former Gov. th carried the electoral vote of the Bay Stetes two years ago notwithstand- ing the landsiide against him in the Test of the country. o The race In Massachusetts like the one in Illinols centers on the scnatorial contest, while in New York the guderna- torial campaign of Gov. Roosevelt has a national aspect because it may de- termine his chances for the presidential nomination on the Democratic ticket. Massachusetts has one Democratic Senator and a good chance of electing anoth-r one this year, because former Senator Butler, the Republican nominee, is dry, while his cpp-nent, Marcus Coolidge, is wet. Whether a Democratic Eenator is elected from Massachusetts in either a presidential year or an off year he has to have substantial Republican support. Butler Support Uncertain. Mr, Butler, &s former chairman of the Republican National Commiitee and a clos2 friend of former President Cool- idge, can command the sup) of con- servative Republicans, but here again the prohibition issue may cost him a good many conservative Republican vole: s The_ entrance of former Gov. Smith into the campaign is likely to have a helpful effect on the fortunes of the Democratic nominee in Massachusetts. He comes at a time when the people are more interested in prohibition than they were two years ago and when the handicaps of his own candidacy are not mem. while all the essets of his popu- ty are likely to be preserved in the quarters where Al Smith will always have a considerable influence. ‘The situatfon in Illinois is much dif- ferent from that in the Bay State be- cause the mormal Republican majority s 50 big that defections cn account of the ition issue need not neces- sarily affect the final verdict. The im- - on definitely growing outside of the race is close and rather even. THis was the same po.nt of view which was held about Mrs./ + MecCormick’s nomination sgainst former Senator Dencen. Mrs. McCormick’s majority was double what she herself expected. Her strength with the voters therefore is not easy to estimate. Confident in Ohio. the Democrats feel sure of ning the senatorial contest in Ohio their wet candidate, former Sena- &% Bulkiey, so that in the major States with the exception of New Jersey the licans are not likely to profit much discouraged, h ‘be made to attribute the mood of the woters entirely to economic conditions rather than particular issues. _(Copyright, 1930.) - MUSSOLINI RENEWS TREATY REVISIONS PLEA AS PEACE AID (Continued From First Page.) .League of Nations?

TOKIO, October 27.—The !nndo.n naval trealy wa2s described today by Premier Hamaguchi of Japan, as & covenant which i “bound to exercise an immense moral influence on the consciousness of mankind.” His address follows in full text: “The memordble’ conference’ which ‘was held in 1921 and 1922 at Washing- ton failed to give a complete measure of relief to a war-weary world. A totally uncxpecied competition set in among naval architects in the produc- tion of nume. ous end very formidable cruisers. These vessels were so heavily armed, so swift and so well protected as to constitute a factor of extreme im- portance in any comparison of fleets. It ‘was some time before the existence of the problem and its dangers and diffi- culties became apparent. Various efforts were made towa:d its solution, but they seemed to lead to no result, and the leading naval powers were rapidly drift- ing toward an impasse, with the pros- pect before them of a renewal of the wasteful competition and crushing ex- penditure which had been temporarily arrested at Washington. “This dangerous _possibility was averted at London. The assiduous la- bors exeried in 1927 at Geneva were not without fruit, but paved the way for a welcome measure of disarmament. An understanding was reached between Japan, the British commonwealth of nations and the United States to put an end to competitive building in all categories of auxilary combatant ves- sels. Nor is that tripartite agreement relating to auxiliary craft the cnly out- standing feature of the work of the London Conference. A treaty embody- ing further provisions, designed to re- infofce the limitation of naval arma- Jment laid down in the Wasl hington treaty, and to regulate the activity of submarfines in conformity with the dic- tates of humanity, was elaborated and signed by the five principal naval powers committed to one and the same noble end. Immense Moral Influence. “I feel it a great privilege to have contributed, so far as in me lay, to this happy result. The new treaty is bound to exercise an immense moral influence - |on the growing consclousness of man- kind. It is a striking demonstration of mutual confidence and good will among the nations, and I congratulate the peo- ple of all the participating countries on such a ‘signal achievement. I know that is nearer the heart of every thinking Japaneése than to enjoy se- curity and to live in peace with the rest of the world. “One cannot but feel that the mo- ment is favorable for a wide extension of the policy of disarmament eml in this treaty. Now that the pact of Paris initiated bxnur.

We have once for all es- caped from what I may call the “plon- eer” stage, in which every nation’s is acti or potentially against every other. ~We have entered on the sane and friendly “settlement” stage, which every one is united to intrusions by any one on an sphere.

By the Assoctated Press. President Hoover's address in today's international radio broadcast, celébr: ing the depositing of instruments’ of ratification of the London naval treaty, follows: “Today the governments of Great Britain, Japan and the United States have deposited the instruments of rati- fication to the London naval. treaty. Prime Minister MacDonald and Premier Hamaguchi are joining with me in speaking to you to mark the significance | of this realization of further advance- ment in the world’s hopes of a prac- tical limitation of naval armament. “The task begun 18 months ago for the limitation of all types:of naval vessels thus draws to a close. The naval powers have bridged obstacles and achieved an understanding to relieve their peoples of excessive naval burdens. Three of these ‘)‘owem commanding the great part of the world’s naval forces have turned away from rivalry in ar- maments, and disproportionate growth of their navies is now prevented by an arrangement founded in commori sense. Aids Security of World, “This relinquishment of competitive building among the three great naval powers, with its consequent contribution to the security of the world, is the great- est significance of th's treaty! If the limitations now established can be maintained, we may look .forward with assurance to the fact that future con- ferences will find it easiér to bring about further steps in reduction. 1It.is the fervent prayer of right-thinking men and women of this generation that the international confidence which has been | 5o patiently and single-mindedly, achieved may endure so that the agreements which have been reached may live and be extended. Never again must a race in naval armaments be allowed to develop. “France and Italy are not as yet full mflnem in the London treaty. They ve been making active efforts wit the last few months to arrive at a com- plete understanding. The people of Great Britain, Japan and the United States, and indeed the peoples of the whole world, have watched those efforts and confidently hope that patience and good will may yet lead to a solution. “The sessions of the five powers at London have served to strengthen mu- tual trust and confidence among them and they give me assurante .that the hopes of the world will not be disap- pointed. It is a pleasure to fecilitate the peoples of Great Britain and Japan and the people of this country upon the conclusion of a sound and reason- able agreement between them, . fair to all and dangerous to none, which has been accepted by each nation as afford- ing adequate protection and which sub- stitutes for suspicion and competition mutual trust, good will and confidence.

Adams has officially com- mended four naval officers and three enlisted men who rescued several Army fiyers from drowning recently near the Hawaiian Islands. ‘While on a training flight, one of the bombers took a nose dive and its crew took to parachutes and fell into the Pacific.

By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, October 27—Emphasizing the world's hopes for disarmament, Prime Minister MacDonald asserted today that the solution of the Ameri- can-British-Japanese naval problem under the London naval treaty should be & great source of encouragement to future endeavors in such agreements. The text of the prime minister's statement follows in part: “This morning I attended a dignified little ceremony of the deposit of ratifi cations of the London naval treaty. The ratifications deposited were those of his majesty, the King, in respect o the members of the British common- wealth of natons, of the United States of America and his majesty, the Em- peror of Japan. Owing to a purely technical difficuity, the King's ratifi- cation in respect of the Irish Free State could not be deposited today, but the delay is not expected to be more than a few wecks at the outside and at the end of that time the treaty will come into force as between the powers which have ratifled it. “Although jthe ceremony was short and simple, if represented tbe culmina- tion of the second successful effort in naval disarmament. Hopes Race Ended for Good. “The_ first was taken at Washington in 192¢, when the five principal naval powers agreed to the limitation and regulation of their cap:tal ship and air- craft carrier construction. ~Now, for the first time in history, the three prin- cipal naval powers will put into opera- tion a systém of limitation and reduc- tion which will apply to all parts of their respective fleets up to 1936. Thus for the period named, and we fondly hope for all time, the evils of naval rivalry have been eliminated between them. \ “The treafy was also signed by France and Italy, but these two powers are not yet parties to that section of the treaty which limits naval strength. It is my most earnest hope that the negotiations which have recently been proceeding between Prance and Italy to enable them to come into this part of the treaty may before long reach a successful issue. ¢ ¢ ¢ - “Ultimate failure is to me unthink- able, for world hopes for the progress of d'sarmament are focused on these efforts and the good wishes of all of us must go out to those who are re- sponsible for these difficult negotiations. ‘What a thpy day for the world will be the day of that agreement! What a vast addition to national security will then ‘be made! How high will the value of our peace efforts then rise! Preceded by Years of Work. “Those who read that part of the London naval treaty, which settles the ratios between the United States, Japan and ourselves up to 1936, may think this a fairly simple matter, but in reality the success of today was pre- ceded by years of mbortive negotiation and by the emergence of problems which at one time looked well-nigh in- soluble. The way of the peace-maker, and not only of the transgresser, is verily hard. “During all those years there were natural feelings of irritation and suspi- cion in the countries concerned and be- hind all lurked the dark specter of the race in armaments which has so often in the past proved to be the current running down to war. Unless we—and by that I mean évery naval power in the world—manage to stop this now, history will inevitably repeat itself. - “Perhaps there is no better way of estimating the gravity of the dangers and difficulties which we have escaped than by recognizing the enormous bene- fit to the relations between the three powers which has become apparent since the signature of the treaty. I make bold to state that at no time in thelr history have the relations between the governments of the United States and Japan and the governments of the British commonwealth of nations been closer or more cordial than they have been since the signature of the treaty, and what is true of the gcvernments is true of the people and will become in- creasingly so as time goes on and the essential fairness and value of the treaty is understood by an ever-increas- ing circle, * * * Pact Target of Attacks. f course, the treaty has been at- ed in this country as in the United States and Japan, but an interesting comparison has been made of the argu- ments used by the protagonists of this campaign in each of the three coun- tries and they have been found to can- cel themselves out almost completely. In other words, each group of critics has considered the treaty unfair to its own country for reasons which, when tal have been found to be almost identical. “The friendly relationship and col- laborations between our countries which is directly attributable to this treaty should surely be o great source of en- couragement to those who are now en- deavoring to reach agreement among themselves and afterward with us. However painful may*be the process of negotiation, success has the effect of smoothing away dreaded international difficulties in an almost magical way, and surely some slight sacrifice of claims hitherto considered important is worth while with such a glorious goal in view.” .

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. President Hoover and Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald made only a short reterence in their radio speeches this morning, on the occasion of the ratifi- cation of the London naval agreement, to France and Italy. They both expressed the sincere hope that Prance and Italy will within a short time be able to find a sclution to their naval problems and join the United States, Great Britain and Japan by signing the naval pact. President Hoover and Ramsay Mac- Donald have both made it clear that there can be no greater security in the {world - than the cessation of the mad armament race, Italians Conciliatory. ‘What the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Great Britain said in a_few words over the radio today has be-n told at ter length to the Italian and French gov- ernments by American and British diplomats in Paris and Rome. Ever since it was officially announced that the last naval negotiations between the Italian and the French experts have failed, American and British diplomats have been endeavoring to bring the two countries together. The Italians, it is stated, are showing a conciliatory spirit. They are naturally compelled, for rea- sons of national prostige, to mairtain the claim of theoretical parity with France, but are willing fo give a very wide interpretation to that word. Italy is in a difficult economic po- sition and the naval race with France unduly draining her treasury. Further- more the Italian financial experts are doubtful whether the finances of the country will be able to stand for a long time the strain of a heavy ex- penditure on the navy. For this rea- son the Italian government appears anxious to listen to the counsel of the American and British _diplomats and show a good deal of moderation and a conciliatory spirit. Premier Tardieu Adamant. The same cennot be sgid for the time being for France. The British and American diplomats who have approach- ed Prime Minister Andre Tardieu have found him ad>mant. His answer has given them so far little encouragement. France, he tellc them, is willing to re- duce her armaments and co-operate with the United States and Great Britain if the French slogan of ‘“se- curity, arbitration. and disarmament” is accepted. Security must precede ar- bitration and arbitration must precede disarmament. ‘These thres important demands connot be inverted. What the Prench prime minister wants is to force the hands of the British to give France a Mediterranean pact and the United States to give France and Great Britain a consulative pact. In spite of this attitude of the French government, well informed quarters here still hope that the Prench govern- ment will eventually rezlize the,great responsibility it undertakes by block- ing the disarmament move of the rest of the world. It is hoped that the American delegation to the Prelimi- nary Disarmament Conference will be able to induce the French to show a more liberal spirit toward Italy and agree to & solution of the naval prob- lem acceptable to the Italian nation. g 52D WOMAN PUT ON TRIAL IN DOUBLE SHOOTING Killed One Man and Wounded An- other in Belief They Were At- tacking Her Daughter.

Mrs. Thornton told officers the two men had beaten her daughter’s escort when they found the couple in an au- tomobile in front of the Thornton home Saturday night. Upon hearing -the fight, Mrs. Thornton said, she believed her daughter was being attacked. She picked up a revolver and fired four times.

G. Wever of Princeton may MAY AD THE DEAF Two Princeton Scientists Demonstrate Theories of Hearing Should Be Revised. By the Associated Press. PRINCETON, N. J, October 27— With the help of a cat, & sound ampli- fler and a telephone receiver, two Princeton scientists have demonstrated that existing theorics of hearing need revision, if nov complete reconstruction. They talked into the ear of a live, but unconscious cat. The cat's audi- tory nerve transformed this human speech into electrical impulses that were then carried over 60 féet of wire into a soundproof room 50 feet distant and there became audible’ as ordinary telephone scunds. The cat’s nerve supplied its own homemade electricity and_with it operated the wire. These men, prof. Ernest G. Wever and Dr. Charles W. Bray, II, of the psychological laboratory, report to the National Academy of Sciences: “Speech was_transmitted with great fidelity. Simple commands, counting and the like were easily received. In- deed, under good conditions the sys- tem was employed as a means of com- munication between operating and soundproof rooms. A simple tone to that tone in the recciver. The ob- server was able to detect no difference in pitch between this tone and the original stimulus.” The circuit was made by placing one |end of a wire on the cat’s auditory nerve near the medulla of its brain and grounding the other end on the cat's body after completing the cireuit through the amplifier and telephope receiver. The cat-ear phone worked only when conected with the auditory nerve; no ice ceased with the cat's death. The new thing discovered in hear- ing is that the frequency of sound im- pulses seems to control the frequency of nerve impulses transmitting the sound. This frequency of impulse in other sensory nerves has depended on intensity of the stimulus, something quite different. Prequency is the speed of_vibration governing pitch. If the experiments lead to a correct theory of hezring, ear soecialists will have a definite basis for attac problems of deafness.

WATTS MAINTAINS GREAT ARTIST’S HOME Husband's Masterpieces Are Kept in Studio as Painter Left Them Upon His Death. LONDON (N.AN.A).—In Gompton, a little, Old World village of Surrey, not far from Guildford and the famous Hog's Back, lies a long straggling house, a house with a thick wood on one side o{hlt and a lovely rose garden om the other. Limnerslease is its name, and here more than anywhere else must the shades of the great artists of last cen- tury be gathered. For it is the house which G. F. Watts had built to his own design at the end of the last century, and where he lived till his death, and was visited by Burne-Jones, Morris, Millet and many others, Mrs. Watts, who still lives in the house, has a sort of art collecifon of her husband’s masterpieces there, and she has allowed no_change to be made in the studio since his death. Even his brushes and colors are just as he left them, and there are many unfinished studies, including a lovely portrait of Mrs. Lindsay, and an early d for the Sir Galahad, which is now the school chapel at Eton. On an easel stands Watts' wonderful self portrait, which he executed in order to explain a matter of technique to some younger painter. It shows him in a red skull cap and dark red cloak, and accentuates his striking likeness to ‘Titian. The walls of the room are deep red— an excellent background for pictures— and in one corner is the long wicker chair in which the painter to rest, while nearby stands a small bookcase containing some 20 books, mostly lives of great painters. Some of the 10'~c2il£n¥!d rooms at Limnerslease are beautifully worked in Gesso. Mrs. Watts was responsible for this. She it was, too, who designed a lovely frieze round fireplace. The whole place has about it an air of spacious Victorian charm, and Mrs. ‘Watts herself, with her dainty lace cap and long black dress, relieved only by a velvet spectacle case hanging at her right hip and a necklace of finely wrought gold, is a symbol, gracious and human though she be, of a generation that is gone.
