1—Retiring President G. at the latter's inauguration, Sinclair jury scandal in Washington, NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Election Day Results in New York, Detroit and Elsewhere. By EDWARD W. PICKARD OV. AL SMITH'S stock as a Pres- jdential nominee possibility, al- ready pretty high, took quite a jump as a resuit of the elections in New York state. The Democratic organi- zations elected nearly all their candl- dates in the metropolitan distriet, but the party's biggest victory was in the vote on the nine proposed constitu- tional amendments. The governor op- posed the sixth of these, to lengthen the term of the governor to four years and hold the state elections in Presi- dential years, and this was defeated by a huge majority. The other eight proposed amendments, all supported by Smith, went over by big votes. One of them raises the debt limit of New York eity so that additional bonds for £300,000,000 may be issued for new subway construction. The adoption of this was considered a personal victory for Mayor Walker. Detroit's exciting mayoralty election resulted in the defeat of Mayor John W. Smith, an avowed enemy of prohi- bition, by Johan C. Lodge, the candi- date of the Anti-Saloon league and other reform organizations on a bone dry program. However, the glee of the drys was somewhat tempered when Mr. Lodge, who had maintained silence during the campaign, asserted that he was absolutely free from obli- rations and pledges, and continued: and dry matter the campaign. It never an issue. We can have orderly law enforcement without asking the aid or advice of the professional drys, with the emphasis on ‘professional. There will be positively no ‘snooping.’ In Ohio the Anti-Saloon league met with defeat when the voters rejected the Marshall bill which would place justices of the peace on a fee salary basis and thereby give them authority to hear and decide cases involving in- fraction of the prohibition laws, Lovers of horse racing and those who like to bet on the ponies rejoiced in the victory of Judge Flem D. Samp- son, Republican, over J. C. W. Beck- ham, Democrat, for governor of Ken. tucky. The winner made his campaign as a friend of racing, and the loser was opposed to it and to pari-mutuel betting. and the Kentucky Jockey club took a most active part in the fight. Senator-eleet William 8. Vare of Pennsylvania scored in Philadelphia, where his campalgn manager, Harry A. Mackey, was elected mayor, de- feating J. Hampton Moore, Citi- zens’ party candidate, But this may involve Mr. Vare in a new slush fund scandal, for the Citizens’ party council asserts that the Vare forces expended “approximately $1. 000,000" and crowded the polls with watchers and workers, “some of whom not only intimidated voters but doled out copious allowances of $10 notes and dispensed liquid refreshments lav. ishly.” Wherefore the council may seck to invalidate the election. At this writing It appears certain that James Rolph, Jr, was re-elected mayor of San Francisco, defeating Jamés E. Power. Indianapolis has a new mayor, who will serve antfl 1030, when the city manager system goes into effect. He is L. Ert Slack, former United States district attorney, and he was elected by the city council to fill the unex. pired term of John Duvall, who re signed after conviction of corrupt practices. Slack at times has served as an attorney for the klan and for the Anti-S8aloon league, He Is person. ally a dry. His friends point out he is not a klansman, and that his sole income has always been his legal fees. wet wins was into he IL j= being spattered all over the place down in Washington, where the grand jury is investigating the al- leged attempts to fix the Fall-Sinclair jury or to subject the jurors to Im. proper surveillance, William J. Burns, head of the detective agency whose operatives were employed by persons i acting for the defense, sought to justi- fy the actions of his men, asserting that the defense had the same right to shadow and observe juries as the prosecution has, An apparent at tempt to start a back-fire was the charge made by Burns’ men that = young assistant attorney general had had improper contact with one of the jurors, but this fell through. A. Ma- son Day and Sheldon Clark, Sinclair company officials who were charged with directing the operations of the detectives and receiving thelr reports, refused to testify before the grand jury as to who actually hired and paid the investigators and what re lationship existed ‘Hetween them and Harry Sinclair, Both Day and Clark were arrested and held under bonds. Every Burns operative who was sent to Washington for the Tea- pot Dome job was quizzed by the government prosecutors in the effort to establish the identity of two stran- gers who approached Jurors J. 1. tated by those two men to the grand jury. O Mississippi valley, with Mayer Thompson of Chicago and a big dele gation of his admirers at thelr head, went to Washington and presented to the house committee their demands for comprehensive flood control legis lation. Mr. Thompson, Governor Small of NMiinols, Mayor O'Keefe of New Or- jeans and a number of others ad- dressed the committee, and while no specific legislative program was pro- posed there was agreement among the speakers that the federal government must assume complete responsibility for the adoption of a program to avert future flood disasters the Missls. sippl. Willingness was expresse dq for the most part to support whatever program might be recommended by the army i There sistence that other legislative projects, which be attached to a Missis. sippl flood control bill, be kept sepa- rate, While in the national capital Mayor Thompson reached an agreement with Jadwin, army Chicago's water meter dis on was in might General chief of en neers, In pute with the government. TEW ENGLAND'S floods, N spread death and throughout several states, are syhsid- ing, but the conditions in the stricken regions are so serious that President Coolidge and the Red Cross were asked to go to the rescue, Jtterly cold weather, impassable roads, short. age of food supplies and threatened outbreaks of pestilence combined to render the situation of the people des perate. About 150 lives were lost in the floods, and the damage to property probably will run far into the mil lone. Farmers lost great quantities of live stock and In many cases all their buildings were swept away. In cities and towns along the rivers the losses of both lives and property were heavy. which disaster —— CRAs calling for the con- struction of eight Atlantic cargo airplanes, similar to the one piloted across the Pacific to Hawall by Lieu. tenants Maitland and Hegenberger, have been let by the War department. The planes will cost approximately $35,000 aplece, They are tri-motored monoplanes, with a capacity of ten persons to each plane. —— ROM native sources comes the story of the heroic fight and tragic death of Lieut E. A. Thomas and Sergt, Frank Dowdell, American ma- rine aviators who were killed by Nica. raguan rebels several weeks ago. When their plane crashed they es caped unhurt and made their way to- ward Jiearo, capturing two prisoners whom they met. One of these men suddenly attacked one of the marines with a machéte, severely wounding him. The other marine shot the rebel dead, but the other prisoner fled and carried word of the happening to San- dino. The outlaw leader sent a force that trapped the marines in a cave. In the desperate fight that followed the Americans killed a number of the guerrillas before they were themselves shot to death, Govier RUSSIA celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution with great demonstrations the of a in Moscow and other cities. In capital a wild, cheering throng million men, women and children marched through the streets, passing before the tomb of Lenin, on which stood President Kalinin of the soviet union. Thirty thousand troops under General Veroshiloff took part in the parade. Tn Shanghai, China, and Har- bin, Manchuria, the White Russians staged counter demonstrations and there were bloody encounters between the two factions, which were finally ended by the consular guards, EYMOUR PARKER GILBERT, the American agent general for repa- rations payments, scolded’ the German federal states recently for their lax administration of finances, and part of the German press and public was greatly offended by what was consid ered dictatorial Interference.

It is best to apply part oi the lime at least one year before the alfalfa is seeded.

Be sides replacing corn the oats substi tuted for more than 40 per cent of roughage in the ration as well, The average daily ration of the lambs re- ceiving oats was: Oats, 1.92 pounds; cottonseed meal, 17 pound; corn si- lage, 1.31 pounds, and clover hay, 14 pounds, Those on corn received corn, 1.15 pounds; cottonseed meal, .16 pound; corn silage, 1.31 pounds and clover hay, 1.4 pounds.
