HOOVER SILENT;
FRIENDS ACTIVE
Supporters Have a Conference
in New York.
WILL Be NON PARTISAN

Former Food Administrator Will Be
Urged on Ground That Country
Needs a Business Man For Presi-
dent.
New York, Jan. 24-Herbert G.
Hoover, whose boom for the presi-
deDcy is being discussed all over the
country, was in the city for several
hours in connection with the affairs
of the American relief administration.
He refused to talk politics.
At the headquarters of the relief
administration, on lower Broadway,
Mr.. Hoover conferred with a number
of friends. Some of them admitted
the political situation was under dis
cuSSiOn.
Among those who took part in the
conference were Julius H. Barnes, di-
rector of the United States Grain COR
poration; II. D. Irwin, or Philadel-
phia; Edgar Richard, George Jackson,
of Baltimore, and Edwin P. Shattuck
headquarters in New York city was
discussed, it was said. While some
were in favor of beginning active
work in behalf of the former food ad,
ministrator at once, others counseled
deferring the opening of such head
quarters until the presidential boom
gets further under way.
1t was said Mr.. Hoover would be
put in the race through the formation
of Hoover clubs all over the coun-
try. These clubs are to be non-parti-
san.
The members, so far as possible,
will be business men, who will urge
Mr.. Hoover's nomination on the sole
ground the country needs business
man for president, and Mr.. Hoover's
record shows he exactly fills the bin.
One Of Mr.. Hoover's friends was
asked whether he would claim allegf-
ance to either the Republican or the
Democratic party.
Politics will have nothing to do
with his campaign at the start" he
replied. Before long Mr.. Hoover
will make his declaration of princi-
pies. This will be in substance his
platform.
ut will set forth just what Mr..
Hoover believes to be the issues of
the campaign and his own attitude
toward these issues. The politicians
will then have a chance to look them
over, and If the demand of the peo-
pie is strong enough for just this
kind of a platform, either one of the
parties may consider Mr.. Hoover is
just the man to win with"
How about Mr.. Hoover's being an
independent candidate?" Mr.. Hoover's
friend was asked.
1.-THE demand for him to run as the
candidate of a third party will have
to be tremendous, If he hopes to stand
any show of success" was the reply.
at Is an entirely different matter to
run on an independent ticket for a
local Office than to organize an entire
ly new party and run for president of
the United States"
"Just what is Mr.. Hoover's attitude
toward the attempts being made to
boom him for the presidential nomi-
nation?"
"Well," was the reply, 'Mr. Hoov-
er Is not at all displeased with the
evidence of a spontaneous sentiment
throughout the country. for him."

To Develop French Water Power.

A bill for the canalization Of the
Rhone and the employment of water
power was introduced in the French
chamber Of deputies on August 9. The
cost of the scheme is estimated at q
100000 francs (S4S2, 5OOOO0) and
the total power to be obtained will
not be less than the equivalent OBJ
tanned from 100000 tons of coal, or
one-fifth of the coal production Of
France for 1918.

KAISER WOULDN'T BE HERO
Pan-Germans Wanted Him to Die in
Battle For Cause.

Berlin, Jan. 24.-That the Pan-Ger-
mans, when they saw the German
cause was lost in 1918, wanted the
kaiser to sacrifice his life at the head
of his troops in battle in the hope of
preserving the Hohenzollern dynasty,
was revealed by George Gothein, for
mer finance minister, who resigned
from the cabinet rather than sign the
peace treaty.
Herr GOthein is a leader of the
Democratic party and chairman of the
national assembly's commission, which
has been Investigating responsibility
for the war.

U. 5. DENIES PROTEST
ON ADVANCE OF FRENCH

The United States has not made
any formal protest against the French
occupation OF cities in the neutral
zone of Germany, it was officially
stated today.
This statement followed Secretary
Colby's refusal to comment on reports
that a protest had gone forward.
Secretary Colby did not meet the
newspaper men in the usual morning
conference.
Secretary Colby has had long con-
ference with Ambassador Jusserand,
Of France, and II is possible that
an informal statement of the attitude
Of the United States has been made.
Officials indicated the United
States has not yet seen Its way clear
to change its position in favor of per-
hitting the German government to
send troops into the Ruhr district.
II was admitted, however, that II Is
believed here the German government
may have erred in sending too many
troops into that territory, thus arous-
ing unduly French fears.
Military experts expressed the be-
lief that the occupation OF Frank
fort and other cities by the French
would be OF little military value to
the French in warding off any attack
from Germany, but expressed the
opinion that the movement was mere
ly for a moral effect.

The base to be recommended will

tober /, 1920.
In Dark ss to Cost.
No definite estimate as to the en-
tire cost of the proposed base was
submitted. as this is a sum which can
not we'll be fixed in advance, Senators
pointed out. The base will be estab-
iIshed and appropriations made from
time to time to develop II.
The base will be for the docking
and repair OF the capital ships OF
the navy, many OF which now are at
tached to the Pacific fleet.
The Pacific fleet was dispatched to
the West coast following the world
war, and marked a radical departure
In American naval policy. In this
connection, II Is understood, I've Sec
retary did not again refer to the
japanese question at today's meeting,
which was executive.
Discusses OIL situation.
He did take up the oil situation,
which he said was very serious" He
remarked later that III he had his
way, he would take drastic measures
to remedy IT,"
The Secretary was authorized to
appoint a board of navy experts to
go over nvy oil lands on the Pacific
Coast, with a view TO developing
them, and sinking "ohset wells" to
prevent their being drained by wells
In adjoining tracts.

DENIES GUILT.
"Ten.Minute Bride," Who Kill
ed Husband, to Plead Tenn
porary Insanity.

HAMPTON, Va. April 8.--Mrs. Nit
tie Jester Cumming, the "ten-minute
BRIDE" who, February 7, shot and
killed her husband, Gordon Cumming,
prominent Virginia lawyer, was plac-
ed on trial here today.
She pleaded not guilty, and II Is
thought that her attorney, Richard e.
Byrd, will offer temporary insanity as
her defense.
In addition to the temporary in
sanity defense, IL is believed that the
''unwritten law" will also be offered
in view of the peculiar circumstances
surrounding the relations of Cumming
and his wife.
The prosecution. It is reported, will
ask for a verdict OF first degree muir
der.
Strange Marriage Contract
He and Mrs. Cumming were married
in 1914. A child was born to them be-
fore the marriage. 1t was to give this
child the name of the father that the
marriage was entered into. The con-
tract was to the effect that the wed
ded life was to last exactly 10 min
utes; that divorce proceedings were
to be instituted Immediately upon
the expiration Of the 10 minutes; that
the man and the woman should each
go his and her separate way after
the expiration OF the 10 minutes, and
that the agreement should be consid-
cred as solemnly binding on both.
The divorce proceedings were in
stituted. The decree was granted
but Mrs. Cumming, still in love with
her husband. 1t Is said, appealed the
case. The higher court refused the
divorce. Richard Evelyn Byrd. who
will defend her on the murder charge,
was her attorney.
Man Fascinated Her.
The story OF the strange agreement
has only lately been leaking out.
though its legal end had been com
mon property ever since II was en-
tered into. Mrs. Cumming Is the
daughter OF a fish dealer. She was
young and pretty when she met Cum
ming. He had a high social position,
and she Is said to have admitted that
she became infatuated with him for
his brilliancy and address. She had
confessed, It is said, that she knew
he was married when she first began
to receive his attentions.
The daughter OF fish dealer, she
was poor. but the alimony specified
In the marriage contract was small

from poverty, It Is said she had ap-
pealed to her husbasd for more
money. He Is said to have threaten
ed to take the boy, Kennrth. away
from her II she did not cease impor-
tuniig him for funds.
Her story of killing.
Mrs. Cummings account of the kill
ing Is that she had become distract
ed to the point of desperation by her
position and determined to mako a
last appeal for more money.
Armed with a pistol, she accosted
Cumming n short distance from his
home In Hampton just after he re-
turned from a business trip to Rich
mond.
He refused her request, she says,
and she shot him down. She fired
five times. Three bullets took effect
He died shortly after.
