MAINE ELECTORS AT BOLLS TODAY Balloting Will Determine U, §. Senate Control Portland, Me., Nov. 29 (#—The confusion of conflicting charges that has kept Maine’s political pot scething for the past two weeks was succeeded today by a flurry of votes which was to determine a Successor to the late Senator Bert M. Fernald and, incidentally, the republican control of the United States senate. Arthur R. Gould, regular G. O. P. nominee, who has been subject of secrious charges within as well as without his party, and who has been repudiated by Gov. Ralph O. Brewster but supported by Senator Frederick Hale and the party ma- chine, was opposed by Fulton J. Redman, democrat. It Gould is elected, repuhblican control of the upper house of con- gress is assured, but should Red- man win President Coolidge will face a democratic senate. A torrid week that ended Satur- day with final rallies for both can- didates saw Gould cleared at a pub- lic hearing before Secretary of State Ball of charges of having ex- cceded the $1,500 expense limita- tion imposed by state law on pri- mary campaigns. The charges had been preferred by the Rev. A. F. Leigh, a Metho- dist clergyman and Ku Kilux Klan worker, who admitted on the stand that his accusations had been made without any personal knowl- edge. A similar admission was drawn from Gov. Brewster, this state’s republican chief executive, who had publicly repudiated Gould and charged him with having been privy to the knowledge of f{llegal expenditures by friends on his be- halt, In turn, Daniel F. Field, chair- man of the republican state com- mittee, declared that by his action Gov. Brewster “has read himself out of the party.” Fleld predicted Gould would carry every county in the state including the normally democratic Androscoggin. He answered the claim of Red- man that the national administra- tion had washed its hands of Gould when Secretary of Commerce Hoov- er cancelled a promise to speak at a rally Saturday by the assertion that Mr. Hoover was forced by business to remain in the national capital and his actlon had no such significance as that attributed by the democrat. On the contrary, a telegram expressing hope of a republican victory, which was re- ceived from Chairman Willlam M. Butler of the republican national committee, clearly indicated admin- istration backing was not lacking for Gould. Redman started the real fire- works of the campaign when he revived an official report of a royal investigation into a New Bruns- wick rallroad situation of several years past which showed the pre- siding Jjustice had declared Gould, who was interested in the project, had bribed the premier with 100,- 000 to obtain favorable legislation. Gould retorted by declaring the “bribe” was in reality a forced | campaign contribution made by as- soclates and without his knowledge. The Leigh charges and the Brew- ster letter followed, and Gould, in hitting back, charged the Klan, which had supported another can- didate In the primary election, was responsible for the accusations, and accused Brewster with being a member, and Redman of accepting the Klan's support. Brewster flatly denied membership. Redman, in addition, has been arraigned as an interloper in Maine politics. His opponents have alleged he lives part of the time in Newark, N. J., and i{s a member of a New York law firm. A heavy vote was expected. In 1924 Fernald was re-elected by a majority of 51,355 over Redman | with a total vote of 246,211. | Gould is an Aroostook county lumberman and a railroad builder while Redman is a lawyer. The winner will serve until 1931.

SAVINGS BANK OF NEW BRITAIN Established 1862 Resources—$19,900,795.11 178 Main Street { France since 1507, has at last been | TWO BANKERS ARE HELD IN BlG PLOT Government Charges Wealthy Ring Smuggled Liguor on Big Basis Boston, Nov. 29 (P—Lewis H. Rothchild, vice-president of the Chelsea Exchange bank, New York, and more than 40 other defendants in New York, Philadelphia and Bos- ton, are under indictment charged with conspiracy to smuggle liquor on a vast scale. The indictments, returned in August, were made| public yesterday with the arrest «of scveral of the defendants. The charges are based on the selzure here July 7 last of the coast- wise steamer Cretan, with a cargo of from 25,000 to 30,000 gallons of | Belgian alcohol in her hold. As- sistant U. 8. Attorney Hubert C. Thompson, conducting the investi- gation, said that a syndicate of New York and Philadelphia busi- ness men financed the operations of the vessel. Those indicted in addition to Rothchild were Captain August Alk- ent of the Cretan and his crew of 22 men; Harold Smythe of New York, secretary to Rothchild; James V. Boice, assistant cashier of the Chelsea Exchange bank; Max Bernstein, Frank Conway, Leo York; and Samuel La Sar and Jo- seph Schwartz of Philadelphia. The government will charge that Rothchild was the financial backer of a plan by which liquor was to be landed in the country in enorm- ous quantities, described by the at- torney as “milllon dollar trips.” Some time last year, it was charged the syndicate opened an office on Broadway, New York, purporting to be & real estate office, and there handled the details of the conspir- acy. FINDS HINA 1N G00D CONDITION Continued Difficulty Not Expect- ¢d by Tnvestigators Washington, Nov. 29.—P— Despite the chaotic conditions pre- vailing in China, the international commission which recently com- pleted an exhaustive study of extra territorlal treaty rights in that country has made an optimistic re- port to the 13 governments concern- ed. 1t not only found immediate modi- fication of some of the extra-terri- torial systems advisable, but recom- mended gradual relinquishment of the remaining privileges, timed to coincide with China’s progress to- ward modernization of her legisla- tive and judicial systems in such way that the 254,000 foreign indi- viduals and 6,473 foreign firms af- fected would be assured adequate protection. Further, it is suggested that steps be taken to correct abuses by for- elgn nationals under the treaties and shortcomings in their application by representatives of the governments. At the same time, it did not mini- | mize the apparent impotence of the Chinese authorities to check crime at present, and cited a long list of outrages committed while it was meeting at Peking which went un- punished although the perpetrators | were known. Created by the Washington con- | ference of 1921-22, the commission's | authority was limited to making a study of conditions under the treaty, urged by the Chinese government in view of the advance of nationallstic | fecling in that country, and report- ing its conclusions and recommenda- tions to the powgrs represented. Any actions that ensues must be taken by the governments, which now have the report under consideration. | EMPEROR IS BETTER Tokyo, Nov. 29 (P—The house- hold department today reported the cmperor's condition as being some- what fmproved with his appetite | better and conditions more hopeful. | S e S e the Rhone, the dream of Southern completed. i FOR CAR APPEARANCE SAKE!

MAY OBJECT TO SEATING WATSON Indianapolis Democrats Wil Gonsider Move at Once — Fort Wayne, Nov. 29 (—A con- test of the seat of Senator James E. Watson is threatened. The officlal returns by which Watson defeated | Albert Stump of Indianapolis, the democratic candidate, by a plurality of 11,383 are challenged by R. Earl Peters, chairman of the democratic state committee. Within a week or ten days, Peters | sald he would go to Washington to | lay the evidence which he has gath- ered before Senator Peter Gerry of Rhode Island, chairman of the democratic national senatorial com- mittee, and to consult with Gerry over the advisability of bringfhg a contest of Watson's election hefore the senate. The alleged fraud consisted of abuses of the absent voters law. Peters said, but he indicated that instances also had been brought to his attention of irregularities in registration of voters, denying®bai- lots to qualified electors, counting and tabulation of returns. The counties around which Peters investigation has centered are Dela- ware, Cass, Lake, Vanderburgh, Vigo and Hendricks. These include | the cities of Evansville, Gary, Mun- | cle and Terre Haute. Probe into conditions in Hen- dricks county is to be pushed for- ward this week, Peters said. There, he asserted, applications and absent voters ballots were given at the same time to republican workers to be filled out among absentees living in Indianapolis, whereas applica- tions should be filed by the voters before the ballots are issued. Senator Watson is in Washington for the opening of the short session of congress next month.
