“INLIQUOR STAND Wels Ask Aspirests lor Congress tohll;_fim By GEORGE M. MANNING (Weshingten Correspondent. N. B. Herald) ‘Waskington, D. C., Sept. 5.—Tak- ing a leaf from Senator “Bill" Berak’s dry book, the Association Aguiast the Prohibition Amendment is leying plans to quiz every Con- | necticut candidate for congress as to : his exset stand in the matter of | prohibition. There is little likelihood that | these petential Connecticut congress- men, however, will be able to add to the masterpieces of ambiguity which Benstor Borah's questionnaire | brought forth in such abundance | when le asked the available presi- | denfig] timber this spring to tell what # thought about the dry-wet controversy. i Yor one thing, doubts have been entertained here that the dictionary | of doyble meanings provoked by the | Borah quis could be surpassed by | candidates of any sort. Chiefly, how- ever, this belief arises from the very specific questions which Henry E. Curran, president of the association, is asking all Connecticut candidates | for congress to answer. The inter- | togatory part of the questionnaire is | composed of but three questions, and | only one of them needs more than a | mere “yes” or “no’” for reply. Genius | of & sort that is not overflowing even smeng congressional candidates is! generally necessary to convey either | light or dark shades of meaning to a simple “yes” or ‘“no.” Of course, it Is not at all impossi- | Mail Carrier Fuils to Take Sharp Bank—Five Dead Are Passengers. Pocatello, 1daho, Sept. § UP— Seven persons, five of them passen- gers, homeward bound from a La- bor Day outing, were killed in the crash here yesterday of the air mail plane of National Parks Airways, Inc. The dead were Mrs. Mona Schaper and her two children, Carl, 6 and Ramona, 18 months; Jesse 8. Rich- ards, secretary of the Ogden, Utah, Chamber of Commerce; Floyd A. Timmer an Ogden newspaper re- porter: W. A. MacLean, Portland, Ore., traveling representative for a magazine publishing company, and Paul V. Wheatley, pilot. The plane, a Universal Fokker monoplane, flying low for a landing. went into a nose dive when the pilot headed into the wind, and crashed to the ground. rolling over several times and crushing the passengers.

Wilbourne, of Little Rock, Ark. finished an anti-Smith speech at the county courthouse here last night amid a bombard. ment of eggs thrown in through open windows and doors. The interruption, the speaker said today, came at the middle of his speech, but no direct hits were | made and he was able to finish his address. “I could see the eggs coming.” ble that these candidates, or some ! cid Rev. Wilbourne, “and saw that of them, will insist clamorously on | keeping their respective mouths shut. But the Association Against ' the Prohibition Amendment appends | & rather ominous notice to its state- | ment, declaring that it seeks to put every candidate “‘definitely” on rec- ord in the matter. The publicity at- tendant on “definitely” putting these candidates on record should not be of a comtortable kind for those who | fail to say ome thing or the other; such a pelicy apparently would offer teo much ammunition for the enemy, of however moist or arid leanings. The statement carries a consider- able gleam of hope, however, for the wetter among the candidates, for it was declared that the association will depend on the responses to its questionnaire for information lead- ing to support of wets where they Mr. Curran’s harrowing questions are as follows: they were going to miss me so I didn’t move. The party throwing them must have been a ball player, though, for he was shooting curves at me and one of them came in pretty close.” IMPROVE UPPER RHINE Basel (A)—Negotiations between | France, Germany amd Switzerland | are reported under way looking to | improvement of navigation condi. | tions in the Rhine river between | Strasbourg and Basel.

Los Angeles, Sept. 5 UM—The revelation that Judge Carlos A. Hardy of the Los Angeles superior court accepted $2.500 from Aimee Semple McPherson and her mother after the Angelus Temple pastor returned here with her story of having been kidnaped, caused a atir in official quarters today but whether it would result in an inves- tigation remained in doubt. Confirms Statement The new angle of the evangelist's adventure, which occupled the at- tention of courts intermittently for two years, came to light vesterday when Judge Hardy confirmed a statement made in Seattle by Mrs. McPherson’s mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy. Judge Hardy said he uc- cepted the money as a “free will of- fering” which the Angelus Temple leaders insisted upon giving him for legal advice. The question of a new investiga- tion was lald aside by the county prosecutor's office after District At- torney Ass Keyeh telegraphed his remove the. case until he returns from his va- cation. 5 The check, according to both the temple pastor's mother and Judge Hardy, was pre.ented to him soon after the return of Mrs. McPherson trom the Mexican desert with ber story of having been kidnaped. At that time reports had not yet been circulated that the evangelist had been staying in a Carmel, Cal., cot- tage accompanied by Kenneth Ormisten, Temple radio operator, and no criminal charges been Judge Hardy sald. The judge later testified in behalf of Mrs. McPherson -in - her conspiracy trial in which the state dismissed its own case. Two Saits Filed Two suits filed recently by lot buyers in a Lake Tahoe, Cal., sub- division in which they accused .the evangelist of misgepresentation, |threatenea today to be fought out in the courts. At the close of a conference of attorneys, 8. 8. Hahn, counsel for the lot buyers, who are members of the Temple congrega- tion, said settlement out of court was impossible.

All other citizens more than 15 years old will be forced to contribute five Afghan ru- pees. This levy was provided for in a decree railroaded through ‘he al Afghan national convention, called in Djirga by King Amanullah, who has returned from a grand tour ef Europe with a head full of ideas gleaned there. .. Appearing before the Djirga. the king announced that the army would be increased and modern- ized. He said that 50,000 rifles would be bought in France and added to the 53,000 recently pur- chased. Fifty million cartridges will be procured to go with the new supply of rifles. The king presented other reforms but when it came to changing the marriage customs the deputies balked.
