CORRUPTION NOW TELLEGEN IS “BROKE" Stage and Screen Star Blames Slap- stick Comedies for His Finaacial DISARMAMENT MOVE AGAIN SEEMS NEAR COMING T0 FRONT Democrats Likely fo Stress This Issue More Washington, Aug. 31 (UP) —In- creasing emphasis by democrats on the issue of “corruption” was fore- seen by politicians today following in bankruptcy here yesterday listing 8enator Joseph T. Robinson's ad- dress at Hot Springs, Ark. Robinson, accepting the vice presidential nomination, devoted the final 1,000 words of his speech to ihis issue. He tersely reviewed the cabinet, oil and election scandals during the last two republican ad- minstrations and summarized by asserting, “corrupt dishonest public officers.” Other democratic orators follow- ing suit may make much use of the slogan “Drive the Rascals which Senator Reed of Missouri em- ployed so often in his pre-conven- tion teur. Robinson, in treating the corrup- tlon subject, cited the court cases involving former Attorney General Daugherty, former Secretary of In- terior Fall, former Veterans' Bureau Director Forbes and former Alian Property Custodian Miller, He re- ferred pointedl; though without mentioning names, to Frank L. 8mith's and William 8. Vare's large senatorial election expenditures. He challenged the republicans to explain why their former chairman, ‘Will Hay ecretly procured” from Harry F. €inclair “Liberty bonds de- rived from the corrupt business transaction in oil,” and then tried to “distribute the bonds among cab- inet officers, senators and other re- publicans of great prestige.” He extended his indictment to in- clude local republican leaders' sale of patronage in Georgia and Mis- sissippi, a matter that will be aired further as the national campaign progresses. Robinson, following Governor Al- fred E. Smith's lead, sought to blame the republican leaders direct- 1y for such corruption. He declar- «©d “this record could never have been made if the watchmen on the towers had not fallen asleep. Previously Herbert Hoover, in his speech accepting the republican presidential nomination, maintained that republican administrations, in swhich he served as a cabinet offi- cer, could not be held responsible for the scanda He laid it upon “indiivduals within both political parties” and said there was cor ruption in municipal and state as well as national affairs, Bmith assailed this interpretation. In his acceptance address he said, .“The republican party today stands responsible for the widespread dis- honesty that has honeycombed fts administration, The question of personal guilt has been disposed of, and in its place is the unques- tioned evidence of party guilt.” Smith sought incidentally to capi- talize the disclosures made in the federal trade commission's investi- gation of public utilities publicity methods, by promising the demo- ats would substitute “truth” for “propaganda.” He alone of the presidential and vice presidential nominees made - reference to the utilities investigation. The fact that the commission will resume its inquiry in about two weeks and again command public attention after a summer recess, is expected by Smith's followers to aid his campaign, Meantime other factors enter the situation. President Coolidge has named Roy O. West, associate of the | utilities leader, Samuel Insull, as secretary of interior to superintend many of the nation’s resources, Cer- tain senators have attacked the ap- pointment. Senator Thomas Walsh ftana, who disclosed the oil scandals, etrongly supports Smith. He and Senator Wheeler will try to carry Montana for the New York governor on the corruption issue. Whereas Robinson said last nfght that Smith’s record had withstood “hostile scruti the governor's Tammany backing has heen made a target by such men as Dr. John {Roach Straton, William Allen White and First Aesistant Postinaster Gen- leral Bartlett. Bartlett in Massachu- lsctts Wednesday called T “nefarious insitution” and was ite “outstanding man."” Senator Nye, chairman latest Tex Dome committee, has ennounced for Hoover, Uzel M, Me- Arthur, banker and brother of Thomas McArthur, president of a ‘corporation with larg: ies hold- ngs, has declared for Smith, H. Edmund Machold has disposed of his utilities connections been named head of the republican or- ganization in New York stat.

It was counsidered high probable that an attempt would be made to convoke the preparatory disarma- ment commission immediately after the forthcoming session of the League of Nations assembly, which opens Monday. In event convocation is possible the preparatory commission proba- bly will meet late in November or the early part of December. Meanwhile efforts of the league to create an international conventien for control of publicity concerning both public and private production of war materials has been check- mated. A commission was formed to draft the convention but was forced to adjourn when a full agree- ment was found impossibie, All of the governments represent- ed on the commission were accept- able in principle to the publicity control proposal, but they were un- able to agree whether it should apply merely to the value of war material produced or also should apply to the | weight and number f pieces. The governments all classed air- planes, the caliber of naval guns and other details within the control pro- posal. The commission, after finding an agreement impossible, adopted a re- port which will be submitted to the assembly. This report m_rely shows the divergent opinions of the various representatives, MUCH STORM DAMAGE Fire Loss in Vicinity of Worcester Placed as High as $50,000—Hold- en Church is Struck Worcester, Mass., Aug. 31 (P— Fire loss in Worcester and vicinity estmated at nearly $50,000, and un- told damage to crop and property by washouts, wind, rain and light- ning, were caused last night by a northwest thunderstorm which fol- lowed a briet period of intense heat. ‘ourteen cows and two horses were saved when fire destroyed a large barn and 70 tons of hay on the farm of Kaprael Hargopian in Marlboro with a loss estimated at $15,000.

ROBINSON IS READY With His Acceptance Speech Out of | t the Way, Democrat Prepares to Go Campaigning. | Hot Springs, Ark., Aug. 31 (P— Formally notified of his selection by the democratic party as its vice presidential candidate, Senator Jo- seph T. Robinson today turned his attention toward the campaign. He | shortly will begin a speaking tour | that will carry him deep into south- | ern territory. Ready almost from the moment of his selection by the Houston con- vention for second place on the democratic ticket, the scnator has awaited only the formal notification of his choice to raise in protest a voice against what he regards as the shortcomings of eight years of re- publican control. And last night in this little val- ley of the Ozarks official word of his notification, conveyed by Claude G. Bowers, of New York, hardly had ceased to echo up and down between the towering mountain ranges before the senator was on his feet, issuing a challenge to his political foes. Farm relicf, prohibition, mer- chant marine and political corrup- tlon—these are the issues he said upon which the democratic party must fight out the campaign. And of the four, he cited the farm problem as perhaps the most outstanding.

Tomorrow, State Insurance Com- missioner Wesley E. Monk must make a definite announcement as to the automobile insurance rates for 1929. These rates, as set tentatively last fortnight, were enormously higher than the present rates—in some cases almost double—an& there de- | veloped almost immediately a con- certed campaign to prevent them from being put into effect. Governor Alvan T. Fuller, Lieu- tenant Governor Frank G. Allen and Attorney General Joseph E. Warner have voiced protests against the proposed higher rates. p Monk has refused to adopt Allen’s suggestion, that the present rates be allowed to stand because of insuffi- cient data on which to base new rates. Today, Monk was expected to re- ply to a letter from Larner in which the attorney general criticised the | proposed new rates and asked that they be held in abeyance, The insurance commissioner has expressed determination to put the new rates in effect.
