A—-2 = TAMMANY SHIFT | Cotton for the Unemployed | HOOVER GETS ARMS RED CROSS SUPERVISES DISTRIBUTION. FEARED AT ALBANY Roosevelt - Lehman - Walker Program Kept, But Cau- tion Urged. By the Associated Press. ALBANY, N. Y., October 1.—Leaders of New York democracy began converg- ing on this city tonight for their State convention, with Herbert H. Lehman, Gov. Roosevelt's choice for the guber- natorial nomination, holding his ground. There were no outward evidences that Tammany Hall and its New York City allies had changed their tentative Roosevelt-Lehman-Walker program. Unless the many conferences to be held over the week end result in some last-minute switch of plans, those high in organization politics are convinced John F. Curry, Tammany chief; John | H.

Immediately after the New York or- ganizations denied two of Roosevelt's 1d be surprised if the nominations for the posts they held and named a Republican for one of them, Farley was silent. Within a few hours, however, he Jearned of the tentative Roosevelt- Lehman-Walker program and boosted his prediction to 725,000. Caution Is Urged. This was followoed just 24 hours later by the 1,000,000 prediction. But those who have followed the New York organizations’ activities through other conventions and campaigns, cau- tioned that by the time the convention opens Monday the entire line-up may be changed. Several New York papers emphasized this point. The Post said: “The scenes are shifting quickly in politics these days and Curry and Mc- Cooey by Monday may be backing the O'Connell brothers (Albany Democratic leadsrs) in giving their strength to Mayor John Boyd Thatcher of Albany for the gubernatorial nomination.” ‘The Post also said: “The belief grew that Tammany and its allied organizations would withhold support from any of thé Governor's candidates until a pledge had been obtained that Federal patronage would be disturbed through McCooey as na- tional chairman.” In any event, the State convention promises to be one of the most dramat- | ic and significant held in years. Two old political allies, Gov. Roose- velt and “Al” Smith, who have not met gince they were rivals for the presi- dential nomination” at Chicago, will be the central figures. Smith, as he started for Albany, was still determined, his associates said, to place Lehman in nomination. A question widely discussed among those here for the convention was whether, if the New York leaders de- cide to oppose Lehman, the strength of Lehman's following added to that of Smith's following might not be enough to put their candidate over anyway. Smith Hostility Felt. In New York political circles, the World-Telegram reported, there was a belief Tammany might relax any pos- sible opposition to Lehman “to keep Smith from openly opposing Walker.” While Smith and Walker are fellow Tammanyites, at the “Happy War- rior's” office it was said he was at present not favorable to the renomina- tion of Walker. The former mayor, who resigned at the height of ouster proceedings before Gov. Roosevelt, left the stranded liner Rex at Gibraltar and hurried to Madrid, Spain, by autcmobile and train. He did not announce when or how he intended to cross the ocean. The city-wide convention, at which his goutxcal fate will be decided, is Thurs- ay. An echo of the Republican and Demo- cratic judicial conventions, at both of which State Senator Samuel Hofstadter, Republican, was nominated for a place heild by a Roosevelt appointee, was heard tonight. ‘Walter 8. Mack, Republican candidate to succeed Hofstadter in the State Senate, called on the Senator to re- nounce the Democratic nomination or run the risk of “discrediting the splen- did work of the Legislative Committee,” which he heads. It was this committee which in- vestigated the Tammany-controlled city government and paved the way for the ‘Walker ouster case. Farley, in his prediction of a 10,000,000 majority for his presidential candidate, sald: “Naturally we are going to get a majority of the popular votes in every section of the country—in New England, Relies on Clean Sweep. “The Pacific Coast alone should give Gov.

MKEE IS STRIPPED OF BUDGET POWERS Mayor Forc;es Estimate Board to Work Openly as Retaliation. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 1.—The Tam- many-supported Board of Estimate to- day deprived Mayor Joseph V. McKee of his budget-making powers, and the mayor quickly retaliated by forcing the new budget directors to work in the open. The breach which had been widening between the new mayor and Control- ler Charles W. Berry, both of whom have been mentioned as possible candi- dates for mayor, developed into an open break at today's meeting. Backed solidly by Tammany members, Berry mustered 11 votes to 5 for Mc- Kee, and the mayor lost all go draft a tentative budget. He had been working since he took office a month ago in an effort to save $100,000,000. “Scheol Teacher” Methods. Asserting the mayor had been using “school teacher” methods in his budget slashing, Berry told the board that the practice of having the budget director, an employe of the mayor, prepare the docket was a practice that “cannot be dropped too soon.” “No one, not even the members of this board, have had an opportunity to know what is going on,” Berry said. “As late as May 25 the controller pre- sented a memorandum stating that even in this time of economic distress over 100 city employes had received salary increases by this so-called desirable practice. “I set forth that this board wishes | to strip the mayor of his budget-making powers. As a matter of fact, he has no budget-making powers.” Mayor McKee responded that the controller’s offers of co-operation had been "as good as the paper on which they were written.” “The purpose of the resolution,” the mayor added, “is apparent—to ham- string and to handicap.” Secrecy Move Blocked. Although he acknowledged he was defeated, McKee went down fighting. The controller moved to have next Tuesday's meeting of the board an ex- ecutive session, and was immediately blocked by the mayor. “If you're going to make this budget I can't keep you from doing it. because you have more votes than I, but I re- fuse absolutely to countenance any bud- get-making in a secret session,” he ex- | clalmed. “The board of estimate has forced the right to ‘co-operate’ in making New York’s budget. All right; now we'll make it in public so everybody can see what you do with it.” Berry replied that his suggestion was “merely for the sake of orderly pro- cedure” and that he was “perfectly satisfied to have an open session.” AIR PILOT GIVEN SCARE CROSSING MIMIC BATTLE LINE (Continued From First Page.) and got down to the airport in record time.

By the Associated Press. RICHMOND. Va.. October 1—Two Richmond milk distributors today con- firmed reports of conferences in regard to an increased price for milk sold on the local market. Emil Zeller, owner of a distributing plant which bears his name, said a conference of dairymen’s representatives and local distributors was held yester- day and the proposed price increase was «“generally acceptable to distributors.” “The distributors,” he said, “realize that farmers simply must have more money. As a result of the drought and generally depressed economic conditions, the farmers are on the verge of bank- ruptey. It seems to be absolutely essen- tial that they get a better price for their products.” F. A. Buchana, manager of the Rich- | mond Co-Operative Milk Producers’ Association, one of the largest distribu- tors, would not confirm reports of negotiations for price increases, but disclosed that conferences had been held with milk distributors. Negotia- tions, he said, “are still in the con- | ference stage.” Meanwhile Farmers’ Dairies, Inc., a farm-to-consumer distributing concern, | put two salesmen in the fleld to solicit customers for city milk routes. | Commenting on the reported efforts for price increases, Senator W. Worth Smith, who led the objecting farmers in their protest against a recent price cut, said “nobody has asked me to in- crease the price of milk which the Farmers’ Dairjes, Inc., will be selling in a short while.” He said he had been called to no conference. Thomas A. Scott of the Richmond | dairy said he knew of no effort to in- crease milk prices, and Frank A. Rennie, | jr., of the Virginia dairy declined to make any statement. The Times-Dispatch said it had re- ceived persistent reports that a tenta- | tive agreement for a 4-cent per gallon increase had been reached.

Oyanedel is sworn in, he will be ex- pected to hold office through the general election which had previously been called by Gen. Blanche for October 30. Judge Oyanedel is of a retiring dis- position and a highly esteemed inter- preter of the law. He is not connected with any of the political groups. It was believed Judge Oyanedel would entrust the premiership to Jose Maza, attorney and author of the 1925 consti- tution. Judge Oyanedel arrived from La Se- rena early tonight, and there was no one at the station to greet him offi- cially. Newspaper reporters advised him of the situation, and much fa- tigued, he expressed surprise. “Well, if that’s so,” he said, refer- ring to Gen. Blanche’s resignation, “I suppose' I must take over the power but I do not prefer to do so, and I will an- nounce my decision definitely later.

S. Minister. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, Octoher Hoover's plan to limit military effec- tives was advanced a stage today when the Effectives Committee of the World Disarmament Conference agreed to start discussion of it without further delay. The plan was submitted in detail yesterday by Hugh Wilson, American Minister to Switzerland, who asked that it receive attention immediately. Joseph Paul-Boncour of France de- murred, contending that it was neces- sary first to define “effectives.” Effectives Are Divided. ‘The Conference Committee started its study by dividing effectives into two groups—police and national defense forces. The discussion will be con-|that tinued Monday. ‘The committee of 19, which is the executive body of the extraordinary As- sembly of the League of Nations, lined up with the League Council by express- ing official regret that Japan had recog- nized the new State of Manchukuo. Japanese recogniti the committee constituted “a step likely to prejudice settlement of the dispute” between Japan and China. “In our meetings heretofore,” said Edvuard Bernes of Czechoslovakia, “it has been customary to express our con- fidence that the disputants would ob- serve their engagements and not ag- gravate the situation. Unhappily, event have deceived our confidence.” Accord On Chaco Noted. Letters published here indicated that a cordial understanding had been reached by American neutral nations and the League Council in regard to another conflict—the controversy be- tween Bolivia and Paraguay over the Gran Chaco. The council reported to the neutrals, of whom Francis White of Washington is chairman, its desire to support their negotiations for peace. Mr. White re- plied that the committee welcomed the Council’s support and would symp: thetically consider Geneva's sugges ggns in the interest of peace in the aco. STIMSON PRAISES HOOVER WISDOM IN FOREIGN CRISES (Continued From First Page.) was averted. A German debt mora- torfum was declared and since that day progress has been made throughout Europe looking toward the ultimate per- manent solution of the problem. * * “The Hoover proposal for debt sus- pension in June 1931 has made it pos- sible for Europe to enter upon the policy of financial rehabilitation which has since been pursued. That policy has worked and is still working to con- serve the interests of the American people. “It has been the front line of our defense by which further onslaughts upon our credit system have been checked, and by which, in consequence, the American reconstruction program at home could be put into effect and be- come successful.” New Landmarks Set. Stimson said the President’s foreign 20licy, in spite of extraordinary obstacles thrown in his path by the world-wide political disturbances growing out of the depression, had “established new landmarks in all directions.” “Show me any other American ad- ministration which by leadership in times of peace has in so brief a period so powerfully and beneficially affected So_many great nations,” he said. Stimson cited the “non-recognition” policy announced by the Government in January relative to the Far Eastern crisis and said its success "can be measured by the unanimous alignment (behind it) of all the neutral govern- ments and substantially all the public opinion of the world.” This crisis, Stimson said, “was not only a blow at our commercial inter- ests, but. of even greater importance to the world, it constituted a deadly threat to the authority of the great peace treaties which after the World ‘War had been conceived by the na-( tions of the world in a supreme effort to prevent a recurrence of such a disaster.” Other international _moves which Stimson lauded were: President Hoo- ver's activity in the calling of the London Naval Conference, his proposal for a one-third reduction in arma- ments, his goodwill trip to S8outh Amer- ica, his relations with Mexico, the with- drawal of Marines from Haiti and Nic- aragua and the St. Lawrence Waterway Treaty. Also he pald tribute to “the personal charac of President Hoo- ver's “leadership. “His is a keen and ever-ready power of analysis,” he said, “his a well poised | and balanced intelligence. Behind those qualities is the most unceasing mental energy with which I have ever come in contact. And, again, behind that, although they are shy and never paraded in official discussions, lies the guidance of the human sympathies and one of the most sensitive and tender natures which has ever wielded such official power.” TWO DIE IN.GUN BATTLE TUSCALOOSA, Ala., October 1 (#).— A policeman and a colored bandit were killed in a gun battle on the University of Alabama campus last night as the officer came to the aid of Leonard C.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. ‘The League of Nations will make pub- ing Germany, Gen. mdgmmug:‘t"“ oy ‘vandi® repr ing A These men have made a thorough investigation of the causes of the Sino- Japanese conflict on the battlefields of Manchuria and have reached the con- clusion that Japan was not justified in any way to take the drastic milita measures which have led to the co quest of a large section of Chinese ter- ritory and to the setting up of a new puppet state—Manchukuo—under _the nominal leadership of the former Chi- nese boy emperor Pu-Yi, but actually under the direct control and super- vision of the Japanese government through its military representatives in ce. It is natural, consequently, that the commission sent to the Far East, not by any individual government which might have been suspected as being either ‘rnnm or opposed to the Japa- nese aims, but by a body of which Japan is a member, should have made a report criticizing Japan’s activities in the Far East. Report Worry to Geneva. Geneva is reported to be worried about the report. That is to say, that the big powers, especialiy Great Britain, are in a quandery not knowing what attitude to take in case the League in & special session determines to censure Japan, while the smaller powers are distinctly in favor of taking sanctions against Japan. The attitude of the small nations is explained by the fear that & fate similar to China's might be awaiting them if the League of Na- tions is incapable of forcing the re- spect of treaties signed by its own members. The groups of powers are conse- quently facing each other at Geneva today—the big nations, led by Britain, who favor mild measures, if any at all, against Japan; the small nations, which have a powerful advocate in the person of the president of the council, E. de Valera, who want action. Between these two stands the United States, which on account of its vital interests in the Far East and on account of its desire to promote friend- ship and good will among nations on the basis of the respect of signed trea- ties and agreements, is sympathetic to the point of view of the minor nations. The eyves of the world are focused at present on Geneva. In that ci at this moment gathered the repre- sentatives of all the nations of the world, minus Germany, trying to dis- entangle the knotty reduction of arma- ment question. But they all realize that there can be no question of dis- armament or even slight reduction of arms, in spite of the financial situation o{l all the countries in the world, unless all n: the efficiency and inviolability of the signed agreement and pacts. Danger to Conference. Consequently, the opinion of the statesmen of the world is that unless Japan can be brought to reason and, if necessary, forced to understand that there can be no excuse in violating in- ternational agreements, one might just as well postpone indefinitely the reduc- | tion of arms conference. A continua- tion of such a conference, it is said in responsible quarters, with one of the major nations flagrantly violating the treaties which are supposed to be the foundation of peace, would be a waste of time. With a more tractable nation than Japan, is today, the problem which is facing the League of Nations would not be difficult. But Japan seems deter- mined to flaunt the authority of the League and pay no heed either to the report of the Lytton Commission nor to the eventual decisions of the League of Nations. Japan maintains that she has acted in self-defense in Manchuria, conse- quently she has not viclated the spirit of the Kellogg pact. She also main- tains that on account of the troubled situation in China, she has not violated the nine-power pact either. Further- more,. her leaders have expressed the thought that if the League of Nations does not like her actions in the Far East, this would be a matter. of regret for the Japanese government, but Japan could not possibly sarifice her vital interests on the Asiatic mainland in order to satisfy what is described in Tokio to be the platonic viewpoint of those nations which live in an entirely | different hemisphere of the globe. Difficulty of Situation. Under these circumstances it is nat- urally difficult for the members of the League to know what to do. e Japanese government has re- peatedly stated, unofficially, that if the League proposes to take a positive stand in the dispute between Japan and China Japan will be compelled to leave the League. Such a resignation from that body at the present time, when other coun- tries like Germany intend to take a similar step in case their grievances are not _satisfied, would be a serious blow to the League of Nations. Consequently the Council of the League is being urged by those nations which are vitally in- terested in the preservation of the or- ganization to proceed cautiously. On the other hand, if the Leagu: shows itself incapable of protecting a ‘weaker nation against a country which has a well organized military machine, the confidence of its members will be shaken and the League will, to all in- tents and , cease to exist. But to take drastic measures as advo- cated in some quarters, such as an eco- nomic boycott, is a step which neither Great Britain nor France nor Italy, nor the United States are “lllln{ to undertake at the present time. It is fraught with too many dangers and furthermore is bound to have serious effects on the commerce of these in- dustrial countries. Bince such a boycott appears im- practicable, other suggestions have been ut forth and are reported to be given ull consideration by the governments of the principal powers. sug- ges! are: (1) All League members in conjunc- tion with the United States should agree not to lend money to Japan. Such a measure while not containing the same hostile elements as a boycott, is believed to be even more effective than an economic or diplomatic boycott. The yen is not in a very healthy con- dition and Manchukuo, it is believed, will be a drain on Japanese resources for many years—so much so that polic- ing and development, if properly done, would necessitate an external loan.

Boats Often Boarded. Stranded boats always are in great danger of being boarded by pirates, as- sisted by bandits, the Japanese publi- cation charges. Boats often are boarded by outlaws who travel cn sailing vessels and give a signal of distress to steamers. If a steamer goes to their 8id, they board her and overcome the crew. “The weakness of the Chinese navy. coupled with the fact that the govern- ment is unable to maintain peace in all waterside regions, adds to the prev lence cf pirates,” the book says. “Pas sengers and crews are murdered or taken prisoners and held for ransom.

By the Assocleted Press. NEW YORK, October 1—The “Flying Hutchinsons” returned to New York today, asserting they felt no ill effects from the forced landing which ended their attempted flight to Europe near the coast of Greenland. They said they would not hesitate to under- take the same flight again if they had a chance. George R. Hutchinson, the father, did most of the talking, although his wife Blanche, and the two daughters, Kathryn and Janet Lee, age 8 and 6. frequently interrupted him. Hutchinson said he was astonished at caused, saying the purpose of the flight had been misunderstood and its perils exaggerated. “I did not subject my family to any more hazards than if they were travel- ing in an automobile,” he sald. “We are depending on the younger genera- tion to carry aviation on in the future, 80 why should they object to my taking my children?.

From the moment she has given notice of withdrawal she will no longer consider her actions in any way under the jurisdiction of that body.

Six men were injured, one seriously, | when the crowd of 1,000 striking miners ! moved upon the Pschirrer and Clearview | mines to drive out those who had gone to work this week on the new $5 basic | wage scale.

Prickett of | Fulten County had left for Vandalia, I, with a prisoner early in the day and could not be located. State's Attorney G. Ray Seniff, still trying to reach Sneriff Prickett tonight, {said he would defer a call for State | troops until the sheriff’s return, if in 1 “reasonable” period. He said he might | assume the authority if the sheriff | failed to arrive and Deputy Sheriff | Harvey Williams should decline to ask for a guard troop.

RIO GRANDE CITY, Tex., October | 1 (#).—Heavy rains today in the wate:- sheds of tributaries of the Rio Grandc River increased the threat of floods, which already are known to have taken erty damage both in the Southern re- public and adjacent” United States. Advices from Monterey, Mexico, told hours, to be added to the burden of the swollen San Juan River, already bring- ing about a critical situation here. The Rio Grande was stationary at Rio Grande City today, while inhabitants of the flood-menaced region awaited the onrush of additional water from 'the San Juan. River Cuts New Channel. Cutting a new channel at Camargo, Mexico, the S8an Juan severed the town proper from'the railroad station. Down- stream, it deluged thousands of acres of Mexican farm land.

(Continued Prom First Page.) of this amount in his retirement an- nuities. On the other hand, he ex- plained, if he accepted Gen. Glassford's the loser to the extent of $250 a year. Shock Is Unconcealed. No effort has been made by Inspector Burke to conceal the shock he has suf- fered by Gen. Glassford’s move to oust him and abruptly bring to a close his 30 years of service on the force. “I will be like a man without & country,” he sald. “Police work is the only work I know. I can't do anything else. Where now d I find a police job?” Burke’s friends in the Police Depart- ment expect many developments before he is finally ousted, but Gen. Glassford said he is confident his plans will eventually prevail. The question of the legality of the procedure adopted to remove Burke is of no concern, Gen. Glassford said, be- cause that will be settled in the usual routine way. The police superintendent admits he has no authority to demote Burke without the approval of the Commissioners, but said he would make a recommendation for the demotion if the detective chief changes his mind and decides to remain on the force in a lower rank than that of assistant superintendent. The Commissioners, he believes, will approve his recom- mendation. If Burke leaves the department by the retirement route, he cannot go before November 1 because of a ruling of Controller General McCarl which forbids the retirement of an officer dur- ing the middle of a month. In the meantime, he will continue to command the Detective Bureau, while Capt. Edward J. Kelly, his already chosen successor, remains in an adjoining office in temporary command of the Crime Prevention Bureau. Will Study Changes. Gen. Glassford said he expected Capt. Kelly to be of immeasurable as- sistance to him in carrying out the re- organization plans because of that of- ficer's familiarity with the personnel of the department. Capt. Kelly is to concern himself chiefly with the changes to be made in the Detective Bureau when he takes command. Gen. Glassford admits there are two possible developments which could car- ry his plans awry for the removal of | Burke. Both of them, however, he re- | gards as improbable. The first would {come if the Board of Police and Fire | Surgeous find Burke physically fit for continued service and declines to rec- ommend his retirement. Burke will go | before the board Tuesday for a phys- ical examination and the Retiring and | Relief Board will pass on the findings | Thursday. Other Obstacle Cited. ‘The other possible obstacle cited by Gen. Glassford would be the refusal of the Commossioners to approve the de- Imt:v'.km and transfer of Burke from the ) Detective Bureau should the detective chief withdraw his application for | retirement. But Gen. Glassford said | Brig. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby, Com- | missioner in charge of police, has re- | peatedly acsured him he weuld not in- | terfere_with administrative matters in the Police Department. } One other factor that might prevent Gen. Glassford from carrying out his plan to make Capt. Keily the chief of detectives, it was said, is the Federal economy act, which requires preciden- | tial approval of all promotions in the Federal service. The President, it was pointed out, could declare that the pro- m>stion of an officer would not be neces- sary to fill a vacancy created by Burke's removal, since there are other in- spectors in the department who could take the position. Gen. Glassford, however. wants no other man but Kelly at the head of the Detective Bureau. He wants Kelly primarily because of his long experi- ence as a criminal invest ‘tlso because he beliave cfficer will co-operate with him. “If 1 had more men in the depart- ment like Capt. Kelly,” Gen. Glassford said in tribute, “I would not have as many troubles.” Capt. Kelly, incidentally, took over bis temporary command of the Crime Prevention Bureau at 8 o'clock yester- Cay morning and proceeded immedi- | 2tely, on orders of Gen. Clzssford, to ‘:neé:m the personnel from 25 to 17 Ircrease Hack Inspectors. A few hours later Inspector L. I. H. | Edwards, ‘assistant superintendent and personnel officer, also acting on Gen.

WOMAN CHAS.ES BANDITS AND RECOVERS HER $35 Refuses to Lie on Floor as Ordered Because Clean Dress Would Get Dirty. KANSAS CITY, October 1 (#).—Mrs. Naomi Murray, red-headed and Irish, | proved conclusively to two young men who held up her bakery late today that such a combination is dangerous. She refused, when confronted with a pistol, to obey an order to lie on the floor, asserting, “I just put on this clean dress and I'll not get it dirty for you or anybody like you.” After the two seized $35 and de- parted, she gave chase, succeeding in overtaking one man and grappling with him until police arrived. While on the way to a police station in a patrol car she pointed out & man she said was the other robber and he was arrested. Mrs. Murray retrieved her $35.
