HOOVERHERALD
FORCONVENTION
All Candidates to Get Space
In Chicago Publication
OF Noted Writers.

Chicago, May 20.-Hoover head
quarters here today gave out the
following:
A daily newspapst The Hoover
Herald. will be published in Chi
cago during and a few days prior
to the Republican National Conven-
ton. 1t will be devoted to the pres
entation of Mr.. Hoover's available
ity for the Presidential nomination
and will be issued under the auspic-
es of the Hoover Publicity League.
This innovation in national cam
paigning is in a measure due to the
print paper shortage. In prior cam
paigns. newspapers have been very
generous in the space given to poll
tics. but today. while the spirit is
willing. the necessary condensation
and elimination caused by the lack
cf paper has caused a condition that
led the Hoover managers to decide
to issue a paper of their own The
estimated expense of publication
will be less than $4,000.
Open To All Candidates.
Recognizing that all candidates
will be similarly hampered, The
Hoover Herald will give one page
daily to the other gentlemen whose
claims will be presented to the con-
vention. They will be at perfect
liberty to say what they please on
any topic they select.
The staff of voluntary contribu-
tors, all believers in Mr.. Hoover as
the candidate, will be of national

BY WILLIS j. ABBOT,

New York, May 20.-In the midst
OF a crashing Wall Street. New York
is giving little heed to politics. The
headquarters of the candidates-and
all are now represented here-are

which are submerged in the news

merchandise and bargain counter
effect the furry-if it is only a
furry the panic If that is
what is in store-may have upon the
political situation perplexes observ-
ers.
Public sentiment thus far seems
to discern in the financial turmoil
an attempt on the part of the banks,
led by the Federal Reserve Board.
to curb speculation. boarding and
profteering by curtailing credits. 1t
is clear enough that neither specu-
lators nor legitimate merchants.
holding on to stocks or goods in the
hope of creating an artificial scarcity
and forcing high prices, can. pursue
their campaign in the face of the
concerted refusal of the banks to
carry them. The merchant can only
pay his expenses by borrowing or
by sales. As the curtailment of pur-
chases due to high prices became
evident just as the banks shut down
on credits, profteerinG firms the
country over were forced to stimu-
late sales by advertising cut prices.
The New York papers today. are full
of exactly that class of advertising.
Food Prices Affected.
While the market for foodstuffs
has not been quite SO promptly af-
fected, being moreover held up by
actual shortages due to the freight
blockade, 1t is beginning to show a
relief sorely needed by the average
consumer.

immense efficiency OF the Federal

is Senator Owen, whose State of

Pershing's Hunter Runs First
Amid Cheers of Soldiers Fans;
Bareback Euent EnZiuens Shou

Thrilling exhibitions of jumping,
some of the finest ever seen in the
country, featured the third day of
the National Capital. Horse Show at
Arlington Park yesterday after
noon. .-.T
OF the thirteen classes of. horses
shown, seven were devoted to hunt
ers and jumpers, including every
sort of jumping event from the
bareback jump to the hunting
class, staged on the steeplechase
course. The bareback event was
an innovation, not only for the
Washington show but for the shows
of the country. The rules provided
that the horses. be taken over four
foot hurdles without saddles or
brides, using only a halter and a
single rein tie strap.
Soldiers Cheer "Jcf."
Skillful horsemanship marked the
performance, the majority of the
riders taking their mounts over the
jumps without a tumble. Victor IN
the event was JEFF" the chestnut
Virginia hunter presented to Gen.
Pershing upon his return from
overseas, with Silver Crest" the
big gray owned by Frederic Nc
Elhone, running him a close second.

the grandstand and thunderous
cheers of the soldiers who lined the
ring rail. Though green. JEFF" is
making a good showing, and, in
the opinion of veterans of the ring,
will go far with further schooling
and experience.
The spectacular hunting class
was staged on the mile track of the
show grounds. the long run being
given the horses to get them in the
true hunting pace before they took
the three jumps at the finish.
Winner in the hunting class was

BY COURIER

IT was neither the season nor
i the hour when the park had
freQuenters; and it is likely
that the young lady, who was
seated on one of the benches at
the side Of the walk. had merely
obeyed a sudden impulse to sit
for a while and enjoy a foretaste
of coming spring.
She rested there, pensive and
still. A certain melancholy that
touched her countenance must
have been Of recent birth, for II
had not yet altered the fine and
youthful contours of her cheek,
nor subdued the arch though
resolute curve of her lips.
A tall young man came stridfng
through the park along the path
near which she sat. Behind him
tagged boy carrying a suit case.

mans face changed to red and
back to pale again. He watched
her countenance as he drew
nearer, with hope and anxiety
mingled on his own. He passed
within a few yards of her. but he
saw no evidence that she was
aware of his presence or exist
ence.
Some fifty yards further on he
suddenly stopped, and sat on a
bench at one side. The boy
dropped the suit case and stared
at him with, wondering. shrewd
eyes. The young man took out
his handkerchief and wiped his
brow, It was a good handker-
chief, good brow. and the
young man was good to look at.
