A—-2 x» ROOSEVELT O WIN ILLINOIS, HE HEARS Big Chicago Ovation En- thuses Party—Speaks at Banquet Tonight. (Continued From Pirst Page.) met by a huge crowd at the union station, a crowd that dwarfted in size the throngs that welcomed Al Smith in 1928 and still earlier Democratic nom- inees for President. Mayor Cermak, who also happens to be the Democratic boss of Chicago and national commit- teeman for the State, was on hand with a great old-fashiond torchlight rocession to escort Gov. Roosevelt to is hotel. Along the line of march and at the hotel other thousands were gathered and gave Gov. Roosevelt an enthusiastic reception. Bands blared “Happy Days Are Here Again” as Gov. Roosevelt alighted from the automobile in which he rode from the station and mounted to a balcony above the crowd to wave them his thanks for the greeting. Notwithstanding the strenuous 8,000- mile campaign trip carrying him to the Pacific Coast, Gov. Roosevelt looked well and seemed full of “pep.” Democrats Are Confident. In Chicago the Democrats are very cocky. The Republicans, on the other hand, wear a kind of grim determina- tion. They insist that their campaign is just now getting under way and that the picture will change after Pres- ident Hoover has made his address to the Middle West and the West in Des Moines Tuesday night. Some of the Republicans are frankly down in the mouth at present. This does not mean that the Republican national headquarters here has given up the fight. or anything like it. It is “just beginning to fight,” according to Everett S8anders, national chairman, and others. Indeed, they insist that THE - EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, EDWARD J. KELLY, Photographed at police headquarters, where he took over the duties of chief | for this pu of detectives today. —Star Staff Photo. there has already been a turn for the better for President Hoover here in Illinois and elsewhere. Rather, the down-in-the-mouth expression applies to Republicans in Chicago who are ot in the headquarters at all, but who have gained the impression that things are going badly for the G. O. P. Hard times, as in other parts of the country, is the bane of the Repub- licans and a boon to the Democrats. ‘Then there is the liquor question. While the Republican stand, as out- “ed by President Hoover in his ac- ceptance speech, is not wet enough to suit. for example, many of the Ger- man-Americans, of whom there are over a hundred thousand voters in and around Chicago, it 18 too wet to suit e of the preachers and the church people. ‘Those voters who prefer the wetter stand of Gov. Roosevelt and the Democratic party will support Roose- vel Those who believe the Repub- licans' stand too wet, may stay away from the polls on November 8. Farm Prices Very Low. The prices of farm produce in Illinois sze terribly low. Corn at 14 and 15 cents a bushel, oats at 8 and 9 cents a bushel and wheat bringing only 37 cents have made the Republican farm- ers down State ready for revolt. “Have a horse feed,” is the way a cigarette s offered down State, where it is said that it costs as much to buy a cigarette as a farmer would get for enough oats to feed a horse a square meal. Republican scouts report under these conditions it is terribly difficult to persuade a disgruntled Republican farmer to vote for President Hoover in- stead of Gov. Roosevelt. Here in Chicago the Abend Post, the German language newspaper, is throw- ing its support to Roosevelt and the Democrats, largely it is said, because of the Democratic promise of repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Republican business men go about shaking their heads over the prospect of a hard Winter, with little new em- ployment in sight for the thousands now out of work in Chicago. They all say that President Hoover has done a won- derful job and that re-establishing credit and putting the banks in a firm position has been a marvelous piece of work. They all say th “hope” Presi- dent Hoover will carry Illinols and be re-elected. That he deserves re-election, and even that the election of Roosevelt and Garner may be a sad blow to busi- ness recovery. p Small Candidacy Hurts, ‘To add to the troubles of the Republi- can national ticket in Illinois, the Illinois Republicans—at least & minority of them—have succeeded in nominating for Governor Len Small. Small, a former Governor, was about as thoroughly discredited some years ago as “Big Bill“ Thompson. He won the Republican nomination because so many other candidates entered the race that his opposition was split five ways. Smalll, it is said, cares nothing for the Hoover-Curtis ticket. He 1s ‘intent on getting himself re-elected if he can. It 15 even charged that the Small people— and they are pretty small—are organizing “Small-Roosevelt” clubs down State, in an effort to put Small in as Governor. Whether the Democrats will fall for any such deal is another matter. They have at the head of their ticket Judge Henry Horner, highly regarded and for year judge of the Probate Court in Chicago. The leaders insist they are going down the line for Horner and they say he will defeat Small. ‘They say that despite the antics of ‘Thompson, who is working hard for his friend Small, Chicago will give Horner a huge majority. Thompson has at- tacked Horner on the ground that he is a Jew and in a recent speech carried his buffoonery so far as to say that if Judge Horner, a Jew, 15 elected Gov- ernor, the price of hogs to the Illinois farmer will immediately fall off. The Republican State Committee was finally forced to take cognizance of Thompson's attacks on the Democratic candidate on racial lines and to pass a resolution denying Thompson the right to a place on the platform at regular Republican organization meetings. G. O. P. Must “Play Ball.” ‘The Republican national organization s almost forced to play ball with Small, who is strong down State, notwith- standing the scandals which were at- tached to his administration as Gover- nor. If it doesn't, then all unity in the party here falls to the ground. The Democrats have the disadvantage in this State of the great Republican ; majorities which have been rolled up in yecent presidential elections. President Hoover's lead over Smith in 1028 was 456,000 votes, and Calvin Coolidge in 1924 had almost as big a lead over the combined votes cast for Davis and La Follette. s ‘Then, t0o, there is the feeling here, #s in cther States, on the part of ardent Al Smith followers against Roosevelt, because Smith was denied renomina- tion. This militates agalnst the Demo- cratic national ticket, although the Democratic leaders ek o discount it. Furthermore, the raising of the racial 4ssue against Judge Horner is hurtful 4n some down State counties, it is said. — MISS FIXEL TO WED ‘Was Common-Law Wife of Late Abraham Erlanger.

FIND BLOOD-STAINED CAR OF MISSING CHICAGOAN | Texas Police Question Man Said to Be Cousin of A. G. McGuerty, Circulation Expert. By the Associated Press. FORT WORTH, Tex. October 1— Disappearance of A. G. McGuerty, Chi- cagc circulation auditor, and the find- ing of blood stains and a .38-caliber pistol in his parked motor car provided a mystery for Fort Worth detectives last night. W\l]l%\m R. Ryals, 22, who told police he was a cousin of the missing man, was arretsed for questioning. McGuerty, employed by the Audit Bureau of Circulations. disappeared Sunday from his quarters here after making an appointment to meet L. E. Klaess and A. X. Morton, both of Chi- cago and with the same company. Police sald the blood stains in the back of his coupe indicated a body had been carried there.

SR STATES RAIL TROUBLES Less Federal Regulation and Low- er Expenses Held Need. CHICAGO, October 1 ().—Railways need “less Federal regulation and lower operating expenses” rather than Federal regulation of bus and truck rates, Rep- 1esentative Charles Brand of the sev- erth Ohio Congressional district- told the armual convention of the National Association of Motor Bus Operators here yesterday. “While giving rail officials credit for sincerity for their effort to better rail- road conditions,” Representative Brand sald, “I take exception to the railroad cry that hl'ihvmy ‘competition is respon- sible for their difficulties.

FOREIGN STUDENTS WORK BAN LIFTED Secretary Doak Will Allow Non-Quotas to Labor for Room or Board. Becretary of Labor Doak has modi- fled his ruling prohibiting non-quota foreign students from working their way through Government - approved Admiral Cole | schools in this country. Harry E. Hull, commissioner genersl of immigration, today made public a letter he wrote to Dr. John H. Mc- Cracken of the American Council of Education, in which he stated Mr. Doak had lifted the ban so far as students who entered this country prior to Au- gust, 1932, are concerned. ‘The commissioner sald these stu- dents would be permitted to continue to work for room or board, provided they carry successfully a full course of study in day clasees, and it being defi- nitely understood they are not to be employed for wages. He aiso said the recent ruling also has been modified to allow non-quota students to continue to work during vacation periods for Toom or board, but not for wages. The new interpretation of the immi- gration act also will allow a foreign student to accept a scholarship or fel- lowship, Mr. Hull said. ‘The Labor Department’s modification of the recent ruling came after many of this country’s leading educatcrs wrote to Secretary Doak protesting against the “no-work” ban. Among the recent leiters received at the Labor Department was one from Arthur Howe, president of Hampton Institute of Virginia and formerly of the ‘Taft School and Yale University. “In view of the world's effort to realize peace and good will I am ashamed to think that my country would take the attitude toward other people with serious intent and whole- some purposes,” Mr. Howe's letter stated. It added that: “The education which our own peo- ple receive from their contact with the deserving students is of much more importance in the life of America than a few dollars which you are trying to save for Americans only. * * * If there is to be a tariff wall on good will and education, the future of our country is indeed discouraging.” 5-Year-0ld Boy l;r;;ms.

By the Assoclated Press. ATHENS, October 1.—British war- ships began bombarding today & num- ber of buildings partially wrecked by the recent earthquakes in order to pre- vent them from falling upon rescue crews searching through the ruins for the bodies of victims.

Glassford's action was uncalled for in the light of his public explanation.” Gen. Glassford, in his conference with newspaper men, said he preferred that Burke to remain on the force, but not as chief of detectives. Cites Screen Incident. Citing Burke's alleged lack of co- operation, Gen. Glassford said he asked the detective chief to place a screen in a Toom where detectives view prisoners brought in for the line-up. This was not done promptly, he said. Inspector Burke explained, however, he could not get the screen because the chief clerk of the Police Department told him there were no funds available rpose. Gen. Glassford declared he had made a number of other suggestions to Burke, which had not been carried out, and for that reason he believed the ef- ficlency of the Detective Bureau could be increased by placing another officer in_command. Relieved of the command of the third preeinct, Capt. Edward J. Kelly re- ported for duty at administrative head- quarters at 8 o'clock this morning and was assigned temporarily to command the Crime Prevention Bureau. Gen. Glassford has announced he proposes to promote Capt. Kelly and place him in command of the Detective Bureau as soon as Burke is removed. A number of changes in the Detective Bureau personnel are expected to follow soon after Kelly takes command. It is known that Gen. Glassford is anxious to remove four or five men. BOY IS FOUND SHOT TO DEATH IN DITCH Watchman Held Pending Inquest Into Attack at Lumber Yard. A colored boy, subsequently identified a5 Mitchell Botts, 186, of 913 Forty-third place northeast, was found shot to death today in a lumber yard at Minne- sota avenue and Sheriff road northeast. An investigation by the police homi- cide squad discicsed the boy was shot about 9 o'clock iast night by Raymond Korner of Seat Pleasant, watchman at the lumber yard. The shooting, which is said to have occurred when Botts and five other colored youths attacked the watchman, was reported to the eleventh precinct police immediately. A search of the yard proved fruitless, however, and the case was marked off as a “false report.” The boy's body was discovered lging in a ditch about 15 feet from the scene of the shooting by P. L. Watkins, pro- prietor of the lumber yard. He again reported the matter to lice and & search for Korner was begun imme- diately. The watchman, it was ex- plained, went home after police failed to find the body, which was identified by neighbors of the dead boy. Acting Coroner A. Magruder Mac- Donald ordered Korner held pending an inquest. The shooting, it was said, followed several recent thefts from the lumber yard by colored boys. Capt. Sidney Marks, eleventh precinct commander, is seeking to determine why the body was not discovered by the officers sent to the yard last night. It was pointed out, however, the yard is lighted by only one small electric bulb, and the point where the body was found is not reached by the ray. The officers were not equipped with flashlights. DISTRICT CAN'T USE $105,697 BALANCE Fund Left From 1830 Appropria- tion Must Not Be Spent, McCarl Rules. (Prom the 5:30 Edition of Yesterday's Star.) Controller General McCarl ruled to- day that the District could not use an unexpended balance of $105,697.94 on the 1930 appropriation to buy a site for the Jefferson Junior High School. Althouglr this money is in the Treas- ury to the credit of the District, McCarl held that the appropriation had laps June 30 last, and that “there is no au- thority of law for re-establishing any balance upon the books at this time for any purpose whatsoever.” ‘This money is part of an appropria- tion of $517,000 made in the 1930 al year, $250,000 of which was intended for the purchase of the Jefferson Junior High School site at Ninth and H streets southwest. This was sur:lemented by & $100,000 lp?!‘wfllflon the 1930 de- ficiency act. Both sums carried the limitation that they could be used only to buy property within 135 per cent of its. value. Failing to n'em some of the property within this figure, the Commissioners took part of the property to condemna- tion. Part of it was acquired, but as to the balance, the award of $294,000 was rejected by the oners as | “grossly excessive” and the condemna- tion pre was dismissed. Later the property owners offered to compromise for $185,000, which the Commissioners are willing pay, but in the meantime, the lm priation hav- ing lapsed, McCarl ruled, in effect, that they would have to wait until the $105,000 from which part of the price would be paid is reappropriated.

So for the time being, the color of the world series background was pro- vided by the bleacher patrons, and the Chicago Board of Trade Band that took possession of the fleld at 10:30 am., and kept things moving at a | lively pace. The bandsmen, like the ushers, were the last word in sartorial spendor. | ‘They wore white trench helmets, cocked nattily to one side, with thin straps holding them in place, dark blue coats, Sam Browne belts, white breeches and polished boots. “Happy Days Are Here Again,” roared the band as it toured the field and the bleacherites rose to a man and cheered the musical prediction, hoping it was the truth. Down along the Yankee side of the field, about half way between the New York dugout and home plate, two sets of specially cushioned seats awaited the arrival of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic presidential nominee, who had arranged time out from his Mid- west speaking tour to attend today's game. Sell Out Assured. Only the ends of the rush seats in the temporary bleachers had failed to fill by 11 am, but the patrons were marching in steadily, assuring a com- plete sell out for the day and an at- tendance of approximately 50,000, more than attended either of the first two games in the Yankee Stadium, with its seating capacity of close to 65,000.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 1 (#).—City Democratic leaders today prepared for the party's State convention in Allbany, leaving the confused mayoraity situation to be settled after the contest aroused by Herbert H. Lehman's candidacy for the gubernatorial nomination has been decided. John PF. Curry, Tammany chief; John H. M . Brooklyn leader; former Gov. Alfred E. Smith and others prominent in the party had reservations on trains leaving for the State capital late in the day. The Times today interpreted events of the last 24 hours as indicating that Tammany ‘“was prepared to nominate James J. Walker for mayor, rearrange the State ticket to suit itself, even if that should include dropping of the Lehman candidacy, and casting everye thing to the winds in an outright fight with Mr. Roosevelt.” The paper added: Roosevelt Expected to Win. “The outward manifestations from the organization failed to agree, in the opinion of observers, with another set of cireumstances that has existed for more than a month—that Tammany expects Mr. Roosevelt to win the presi- dency and that it will have to deal with him on Pederal patronage for the next four years. Meanwhile a three-cornered contest for the mayoralty was possible, if Tam- many should finally decide to back Walker for re-election and “vindica- #lon.” The two other prospective can- didates were Joseph V. McKee, who suc- ceeded Walker and is backed by the Bronx Democratic _organization, and Charles W. Berry, Republican. Support for Roosevelt. Tammany Hall and its allies were said tonight by a leader high in organization politics to have agreed to support Prank- lin D. Roosevelt for President, Herbert H. Lehman for Governor and James J. ‘Walker for mayor. The statement was made after the Democratic city organization had de- nied renominations to two of Roose- velt's appointees to the Supreme Court, and in place of one of them nominated & Republican Lehman is Roosevelt's own choice for the gubernatorial nomination at next week’s Democratic State convention Walker, when he resigned at the height of ouster proceedings before Gov. Roosevelt, said he was leaving his case “in the hands of the voters.” Since then the appelate division of the Supreme Court has ruled that s mayorality election must be held No- vember 8, and a city-wide Democratic convention has been called for next Thursday, the day Walker expects to return from a European cruise. James A. Farley, Democratic national chairman, and also head of the party’s State Committee, declared “Nothing has happened to change my opinion that Gov. Roosevelt wiil carry New York State by more than 725,000.” Other leaders at national headquar- ters said they were convinced Tammany would go through with its Roosevelt- Lehman-Walker program. The Sun said: “Curry (John F. Cur- ry, Tammany chief) is now convinced that Roosevelt 1s going to be elected and is skillfully grabbing the opportunity tc ride into office in New York on the wave.” The Post reported learning au- thoritatively that Walker would be the Tammany candidate for mayor, but added: “The open fight between Gov.
