HISONELECTD T0 WORLD COURT Harvard Professor Chosen to Post Vacated by . Frank B. Kellogg. By the Assoclated Press. GENEVA, October 9.—Dr. Manley 'G. Hudson, Bemis professor of Inter- national law at Harvard University, was elected last night to the World Court of International Justice. Dr. Hudson, who has made the court one ot his chief interests since it was created in 1920, succeeds Frank B. Kellogg, former United States Secre- tary of State, who resigned last year. The election, in -which two other vacancies on the bench also were filled, brought together representatives of China and Japan at a meeting of the League of Nations’ Council for the first time since 1932. | Although no longer a member of | the League, Japan was eligible to| participate in the election as a slgnl-: tory of the World Court. | The others elected to the bench| were Dr. Cheng Tien-Hsi of China and Dr. K. H. L. Hammarskjold of Sweden. Dr. Hammarskjold, who had been clerk of the court, succeeds the late Walter Schucking of Germany. Joseph Avenol, secretary of the League, made public his reply to a| compiaint by Greece that the Free City of Danzig was not represented | when Poland was given a mandate by | the League Council to solve numerous international problems affecting the city. | Lincoln (Continued From First Page.) of Senator George W. Norris of Ne- braska during his address here. Nor- ' ris will join the presidential train and ' will sit on the platform tomorrow night. Burke also has been invited to Jjoin the President. If any such invi- | tation has been sent to Terry Car- | penter, who won the Democratic nom- ination for the Senate in the primary | last Spring, and has refused to give | it up and get out of the race in favor of Norris, it has not been disclosed. | ‘The Carpenter Democrats, who have | made it a practice to hiss and boo | Democratic speakers at rallies here who speak for Norris, have been warned that if they try anything like that when the President speaks of Norris they will find themselves in Jail. “Any one who starts any sort of dis- turbance is going to find himself in | Jail,” said Mayor Butler of Omaha. He said that such a demonstration would be an affront to the President and the Nation, and show Omaha up in a bad light. | Carpenter Opposes Tactics. Carpenter and his manager declared | they are opposed to such a demonstra= | tion on the part of the Carpenter fol- | lowers. However, if persons attending | & political meeting—as this will be— | are put in jail for expressing disap- | proval of the speaker's remarks, the reaction in the country will not be all one way. The chances are there will be no such disturbance, particu- | larly as:Carpenter himself has spoken strongly against it. In Nebraska there are many foreign- | born citizens and many more Wwho are immediate descendents of immi- grants. The largest group in the State is the German-American. There are, however, many Scandinavians, Bohe- mians, Italians and others. The Ger- man-American vote is variously esti- mated from 50,000 to 200,000. It is quite likely to vote strongly as a group. Many of the German-Ameri- can farmers are still for Roosevelt. In one quarter this was estimated as | y high as 65 per cent. The Bohemians, too, are said to incline to Roosevelt. Senator Norris, who is allied with Roosevelt in this election campaign, Indicted STOLEN CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY BOOKS INVOLVED. WILLIAM C. SMITH, Cincinnati book dealer, was indicted today for allegedly receiving books stolen from the Congressional Library here, and from public libraries in Cleveland and Olean, N. Y. Twenty-three books, mostly reference volumes on early American history, were named as stolen from the Library here. At the Library, it was ex- plained, that no rare or valu- able volumes ever have been stolen, but reference books are under less strict supervi- sion and frequently are lost or stolen. Smith was released under $3,000 bond, but faces sentence of from one to seven years in jail if convicted. —Copyright, A. P, Wirephoto. way they will vote on election day. It is this silent vote, with many of the people still on the fence, that makes the State doubtful today. Labor here, as elsewhere, seems to | be strong for Roosevelt. Railroad la- bor is said to be 90 per cent for the President. I talked with a vice presi- dent of one of the large Western roads. He said that he had no doubt that the trainmen all over the line would vote almost solidly for Roose- velt. A letter, he said, had come to | his company complaining because a single one of their trainmen had worn a sunflower, Landon emblem. “What are you doing, trying to force your employes to vote Republican?” the writer asked. The railroad executive said that his company never inter- fered with the politics of its employes. The political make-up of the Ne- braska delegation in Congress is four Democrats, one Republican. The Re- publicans have a good chance, it is said, to pick up at least one more House seat in this election. | THE WEATHER | District of Columbia—Mostly cloudy tonight and tomorrow, possibly show- ers; slightly cooler tonight; gentle winds, mostly southeast.

IDEMOGRATS LEAD CALIFORNIA ROLLS Registration Figures Show 38.44 Per Cent Are Republicans. (Copyright. 1036, by the Assoclated Press.) SAN FRANCISCO, October 9.— California has registered 57.74 per cent Democratic and 38.44 per cent Republican for the November general election, in which Roosevelt and Lan- don will battle for the State's 22 elec- toral votes, Such was the showing in compila- tion today by the Associated Press of nearly all of California’s 58 counties. Here are the totals: Republican registrants___1,231,765 The total, 3,203,693, surpasses by more than 60,000 the registration for the gubernatorial election in 1934, which set a high record at the time of 3,140,114. The registration before the presidential primary this year was 2,964,336, and before the August State primary, 3,096,820. ‘This also is the largest total of regis- trants the Democrats ever have boast- ed. It is the lowest Republican regis- tration for any presidential election since 1924, Seven of the 58 counties have more registered Republicans than Demo- crats. At the May, 1932, presidential primary there were 55 counties with Republican pluralities. British tire manufacturers complain county clerks’ régistration figures from | of overproduction.

BEAUMONT, Tex., October 9.—The sudden rage which prompted Trilby, & one-eyed circus elephant, to crush the life from Lee Roberta, 20, when he disturbed her sleep, has given way to deep remorse. Lawrence Davis, head élephant trainer for Barnum & Bailey and Ringling Bros.' Circus, said the ele- phant had been crying ever since she seized Roberta with her trunk, hurled him against the elephant car, then crushed him to death under her mas- sive feet. The sorrowing Trilby went through her paces at yesterday’s matinee, after the rampage, and officials said they anticipated no further trouble with her. Davis, explaining that elephants sleep standing, said Roberta had failed 98 ALL ONE PRICE MEN'’S SHOE DEPT. 1315 F STREET S NEW ER4 FOR OWNERS OF AUTOMATIC OIL HEAT/ SATISFACTION UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED! to rouse the napping animal by speak- ing to her before he attempted to place a collar on her. ‘Witnesses said Trilby, apparently startled as Roberta lowered the collar over her head, attacked before he could move. ‘The sheriff’s office announced it contemplated no action against the elephant or the circus, after it was stated the animal normally is docile, has been with the show 22 years, and that failure of the youth to arouse it from sleep was responsible for the tragedy. Roberta signed with the -circus at Springfield, Mass., June 20. Work Started on Tunnel. Work has begun on the $16,500,000 tunnel under the Thames River, Eng- land, to serve the London areas. TO BE DISCUSSED Farm Leaders Invited to Confer Here to Map Program for Congress. By the Associated Press. Officials said today that a number of leaders of farm orgunizations have been invited to come here and discuss the proposed Federal crop-insurance program with a special committee named by the President to suggest a plan to Congress. Spokesmen for the committee, which is headed by Secretary Wallace, de- clined to make known just who had been invited, but said all representa- tives of the farm industry would be consulted. Actual farm production records have supplied a corps of Federal workers with a basis for risk-data in recent plan. It is known, however, that many technical questions are facing the committee, composed of repre- sentatives of the Commerce and Agri- culture Departments and the Treasury. Secretary Wallace has proposed that payments of premiums and losses on insurance be in grain and that sure Plus production in good years be stored for years of short yields. He suggested cotton and wheat as llkm:ly commodities on which a begine ning in Feceral insurance made the first year. Srane Executed in Black Satin.

The Democratic claims for Roosevelt are higher, ranging from 25,000 to 100,000. The opposition to Roosevelt grows out of dislike for the manner in which large sums of Federal money have been expended as well as dislike for the huge public debt which has been rolled up. The voters, they say, have seen favorites win favors because of political pull and men sent into the ‘State from outside in large numbers to “administer” relief of various kinds, TFarmers have resented the manner in which their quotas were allotted to them in the A. A. A. program. This year the State suffered terribly from #he drought, and while farmers are glad to have the drought relief ac- icorded them by the Roosevelt admin=- istration, they think that if last year they had grown more crops they would not now be so badly off. Large Numbers Undecided. ‘When you talk to the voters they say, in support of Roosevelt: “He Aried to help us and he did help us.” ‘That goes for many of the workers, \for many of the farmers, and for of the small business men.

The cost is only $2.55 a week and you have a period of three months to decide whether the Mcllvaine is all that the Shull Heating Corp. says it is.

THE Shull Heating Corp. feels that the day is coming when every pur- chaser of automatic heat—whether gas or oil—will demand a written money- back guarantee of satisfaction. This is the basis on which the Shull Heating Corporation now sells McIlvaine “Con- stant Flame” Oil Burners and this is the basis on which McIlvaine has been sold for six years here.in Washington. Not one Mcllvaine has ever been re- moved from a Washington home be- cause of the owner’s dissatisfaction. Yet every owner has had a three months’ trial period, during which time he was the sole judge of satisfactory operation including (a) heating condi- tions, (b) fuel consumption, (c) me- chanical operation. The Mcllvaine “Constant Flame” Oil Burner is the only heating equipment which has been sold on this basis be- cause it is the only heating equipment so soundly designed that it is possible to make this guarantee. ¢ McIlvaine operates constantly with a modulated “throttle flame” instead of popping “on and off, on and off,” thou- sands of times a year.
