GRADE CROSSING DEATH MYSTERIOUS Find Farm Haod Has Five Insurance Policies Tuscola, INl., Oct. 18 (M—Walter MeAllister's death in a grade cross- ing crash last week had become to- day something of a mystery. McAllister was a farm hand, ‘working on Emil Carroll's place. He was killed about 2 o'clock last Fri- day morning when the automobile in which he and Carroll were riding ‘was struck by a train at the crossing of a lonely country road. Five Policies There was nothing about the acci- dent, a coroner's investigation found, ‘to mark it from any other grade- crossing tragedy. Since the mques!,i however, the state's attorney's office has become interested, chiefly be- cause of five insurance policies on the farm hand's life. | Each policy names as beneficiary Mrs. Emil Carroll, wife of the dead man’s employer, or “the McAllister | estate.” There also were three other | policies on MecAllister's life, but it was not indicated in whose favor | they were drawn, or the amounts. There are other circumstances un- der investigation. A mysterious at- tack on McAllister two weeks ago at the Carroll farm is one of them. The state’'s attorney was told that the farm hand was severely beaten while walking to the Carroll cow.} barn. No report of the assault was made at the time Legs in Blanket Another circumstance was the manner in which McAllister's body was tound following the automobile accident. Dr, Lorrar, who took the | farm helper's body from the ma-| chine, said it was wrapped in a| blanket. Mermbers of the train crew | also testified at the inquest that Mc- Allister’s legs were held together by a blanket. McAllister's skull was \fractured in front and from beh Carroll's account was that Allister was on his feet, trying to| get out of the car when the train struck. Carroll escaped with slight | euts and bruises. ‘Gore Says Coolidge { Is Great Novelist | Chicago. Oct. 18.—(UP)—Presi- | \dent Coolidge is “the greatest novel- ist who ever sat in the White House,” former Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma said in an interview here, He assailed the republican claims of prosperity and scored Herbert Hoover, the republican presidential nominee. Gore declared that Hoover com- pelled tarmers to sell at prices fixed below the market price and to buy ar prices during the war. “There has been prosperity in this country,” the blind former; senator said. “but it has been limit- ed to privileged persons. “In eight vyears with Woodrow ‘Wilson there were 578 bank failures in the country.

Once in their automobiles the governor and his party were whisk- ed down Michigan boulevard to the congress hotel through another great crowd of cheering welcomers. Torches, protruding every 10 or 15 feet from crevices in the sidewalks, | lent a splash of color to the scene. On reaching the hotel the nomi- nee was treated to another big dem- onstration and when finally he reached his suite on the 15th floor, the shouting outside was so intense that he came to a window three times to acknowledge the cheering. Retires Late After receiving several Illinois leaders, the governor retired late. Today he had no set program, ex- cept for a press conference. He had planned to spend most of the day preparing his speech for tomorrow night. Chicago's welcome to the New York executive climaxed a series of greetings on a smaller scale encoun- tered in “downstate” Illinois, where the democrats are making their hardest drive for votes, during the trip up to Lake Michigan from St. Louis. At Alton, Springfield, Bloom- ington and Joliet, large crowds turned out to sheer the nominee when he appeared on the train plat- form. At the Illinois capital, he made the first rear platform speech of his campaign. Holding a portable microphone which had been attached to ampli- fiers near his train, the governor told the crowd of the ‘great en- thusiasm™ of the crowds in St. Louls and Sedalia and expressed appre- ciation for the reception tendered him by Illinois cities. He also urged the crowd to listen in on his Chi- cago speech for he would have something of much interest” to all Illinois. Asked at a press conference on | board his train what he thought of his chances in the five southern and border states he had visited, the governor said he believed they were “all right.” “That you will carry all the states you have been through?” the ques- tioner pursued. Will Carry Al “Yes, T am satisfled of it. Now re- turning east, or north, whichever | way we are going—northeast—I am entirely satisfied that they are all right.” The governor had no comment to make on the attorney general's de- cision holding invalid the Salt Creek oil lease by the government to the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing com- pany. He indicated, however, he might have something to say about it after he had had time to study the opinion. Herbert Hoover's tariff speech in Boston furnished a vehicle for de- bate between the newspapermen and the governor, who expressed the opinion that his opponent apparent- ly had written the Boston address “long before 1 made my Louisville speech.” Either that or he ‘“never read my speech,” Gov. Smith added. Pressed for his further reaction to Mr Hoover's tariff speech, the governor picked up a clipping which quoted the republican presidential candidate as saying ‘“the American people would never consent to dele- gating authority over the tariff to y commission, whether non-par- tisan or bi-partisan,” and declared: “I said nothing about a delegation of power to a tariff commission.” “Then what do vou suppose he is talking about?” the governor was asked. Doesn’t Know “I don't know," he replied. “He seems to think, or he must have thought that I was going to say that T believed that the fixation of sched- ules ought to be taken from the congress of the United States and lodged with the tariff commission, but no such thing was said. No such position was taken by me. I dis- tinctly said that the tariff commis- sion was to provide the information and the basis for scientific tariff- making." A large delegation of Illinois dem- ocrats boarded the Smith train at Sjringfield to accompany him to Chicago. Included in the group, which had their own special car at- tached to the governor's train, were Edward N. Hurley, former chairman of the Shipping Board, George F. Getsz, Chicago; Judge Henry Horner, William H. Rehm, Alfred 8. Aus- trian, D. F. Kelly, Edward E. Brown, John 8. Miller, Charles J. Vopicka, | Melvin A. Traylor, A. A. Sprague, | Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank, former dem- |ocratic national committeewoman, ‘and Mrg. Elizabeth A. Conkey, pres- ent committeewoman. ‘Wagner There Senator Wagner of New York, also | came aboard the train at Springfield las did George N. Peek, midwest | farm relief leader. Thomas F. Donovan, who succeed- ed the late George Brennan as na- | tional committeeman joined Gover- ! nor Smith earlier, as did Joseph W. | Proskauer, New York supreme court | justice, who is one of his closest po- litical advisers and who accompan- ied the nominece on his first cam- paign tour.

VARNISHES PAINTS HALL’S 179-183 ARCH STREET NEW BRITAIN MANY POSSIBILITIES IN ALABAMA POLITICS (Continued from First Page) attested than within the historic precincts of the old Exchange hotel at Montgomery, long a gathering place of the Alabama democracy. In the entrance-way a bronse tablet informs the visitor that upon these premises Jefferson Davis presided at the first cabinet meeting of tue ¢ n- federacy. Inside the balconied lobby, two red and white placards an- nounce in flaming letters that ve- publican headquarters and the of- fices of the anti-8mith democrats are on the floors just above. Under the lead of Senator Heflin and others, Alabama has handled the religious issues thout gloves. Those who oppose the election ¢ a Catholic to the presidency do not whisper here; their campaign is a shouting campaign. For months now the Rev. “Bob" Jones, an Evangel- Ist, has been pieading with the vot- ers in public speeches not to put a Catholic into the White House. The democratic state chairman, E. W. Pettus, places religion first among the issues on which Smith is oppos- ed in Alabama. Blame for injection of the reli- gious question into the campaign is laid at the door of the Bmith sup- porters by Oliver Street, the repub- lican national committeeman, who concedes that “membership of Al Smith in the Catholic church has become a very live issue in this state.” Street says that the Smith people broached the subject by say- ing that those who opposed their candidate were really actuated by religion, and that they thus started a fire which they now are seeking to extinguish. This is vigorously de- nied, but the agreement is general that the issue a powerful factor in the present political equation. Nor is the race question discussed with lecs directness. From a demo- cratic standpoint, Chairman Pettus lists white supremacy as the out- standing issue. A campaign text- book put out by the anti-8mith or- ion refers to Smith as “ he ro's candidate and says eight Negro papers out of every ten in the United States are supporting him. Al has never disappointed the Ne- gro. He gives him preference over the white man.” next step in your PLATE exclusively.

GENUINE POLISHED that is rolled, ground and polished until it is as nearly perfect as glass can be—used A poster circulated by the state democratic campaign committes says that Alabama's ‘“Negro legisla- ture” of 1873 “was made possil by federal bayonets” under a re- publican administration and that “it Herbert Hoover carries Alabama in 1928, we will have Negroes in the next legislature of Alabama.” There is much more of this both in the literature of the campaign and among the spellbinders. Other- wise, the issues run the usual scale. ‘The Hoover people have made much of prohibition, for Alabama is so dry politically that a state law pro- hibits sale of near beer, or any other substitute for alcoholic drinks. The eel industries are appealed to ~n the score of the protective tariff. The state has but a small foreign population, and talk of immigration gets a hand in many places. The northern counties, in particular, are hearing much about Alabama's own Muscle Shoals and in the rural sec- tions there is rustling of debate over farm relief. Despite the defections, the S8mith supporters now have taken up the battle with much determination. For the first time In many years, the ing a state wide campaign on & ma- jor scale. The democratic congress- men form an important coterie in the leadership of this campaign, and Representative Oliver {is its chair- man. Democratic leaders minimize the possibility of a Hoover victory in the state, and say that except for Senator Heflin, not a single incum- bent of a state elective office is out against the party ticket. It is agreed everywhere that noth- ing since reconstruction 4 has stirred Alabama so deeply as this campaign. However much of a con- flagration there may prove to be in democratic ranks on election day, there certainly is a great deal of smoke just now.

On two points in particular Mel- lon disagreed with the New «York governor. These points had to do with S8mith's assertion that the dif- betwesn wartime and pescetime costs end that the cost of all the departments of the government was $300,000,- 000 more in 1937 than im 1934. War Over “The trouble with the frst com- tention,” Mr. Mellon said, “is that the war had beea over for two and & halt years when the republican administration took ocontrol of the government in 1931."” He went on te ask if “as Governor Smith would have us believe,” the reductions in expenditures between 1931 and 1938 were inevitable, “why hadn't they l;l’:l‘v been more largely affect- e To the budget bureau in the first year of its operation, Mr. Melloa save credit for “paring and prun- ing costs that had already actually been appropriated for the fiscal year 1923 to the extent of $765,000,- 000."
