the point is, everybody is superstitious.

He may not really know that he Is sur

remains that superstition was bred

HOOvE R BOOM IS
SECRET CHILD
Of PRESIDENT
Republican Leaders Accept
Theory AS Certain
HOOVER BELIEVED STRONG
South Does Not Want Him But Might
Agree II There Is Hope Of
His Winning

Washington, Jan. 26.-The increas
/ impetus of the Hoover boom on the
Democratic side CT the fence and the
retirement of the Coolidge candidacy
on the Republican side were the two
features of the political situation to
day.
The shrewdest Republican leaders,
who, fer the last week have been siz-
ing up the potentialities of the Hoov-
er boom now believe beyond {.
shadow of doubt that II is being
secretly nourished frcm the White
House. Having accepted this as a fact
these leaders declare in the next
breath that Mr.. Hoover has not the
chance in the Republican convention
of a feather In u blast furnace. II
was apparent today that Republican
leaders are already carefully figuring
on the possibility, II not the probabili-
ty OF having to beat Mr.. Hoover as
the Democratic candidate. But Re-
publican confidence is such that the
Hoover movement apparently excites
not even shiyer,
Hoover delegates may be entered in
a few Republican primaries, but 1t is
the opinion of Republican leaders that
they will make no showing and that
there is not the slightest DRIFT to
Hoover en- the Republican side any
where discernible in the country.
Judging from statements made to.
day Hoover is the strongest man the
Demo Gratis can name to head their
ticket in the opinion Of some of the
leading Republicans. They are civ
ing the President or those who are
working for him considerab credit
for the way the whole Hoover mcve
ment has been manipulated as non
partisan affair up to date.
They believe that all the time the
Presidents political ades ara taking
daily measures of its strength in &C
cordance with pre- arranged plan, and
that at the proper time, II the Hoover
continues to grow, the
President VII force Mr.. Hoover down
the throats Of the Southern Demo
Gratis on the excuse that no other
man can win.
Favorable reGcticns from the per
sistent sounding of The Hoover tom
toms in the more distant States of
The West are already discerned among
the chieftains of the Democratic party
In Washington. Although Chairman
is avoiding even the discus
sion of the Hoover movement other
leaders are not SO reticent. 1t is ad
mitted now that the movement. IN the
West at least is taking tangible form
and that included in il are some of
the more thoughtful Of the party's
leaders.

for president and that he would not
enter a contest for the Massachus-

that he would not permit the impu-
tation that he had used the Office of

ests through the selection of dele
gates.
In formal statement for the press
Governor Coolidge said that the
course of the present was the al
most universal grasping for power"
Fer himself he was not insensible to
the honor sought for him by others.
but the efforts of his friends did not
contemplate a contest for delegates
in his own state. Inasmuch as "some
Massachusetts people, intended to
make one, the question arose whet-
her he ought to permit a contest in
his name. He answered the question
in the negative.

GAVE "sH0W" UNDER GUARD
Peculiar Experience Of American Mu.

City of Vladivostok.

A belated story of how an Ameri-

had volunteered to give an entertain
ment for the troops at yladivostok
was caught in that city while the
reds" held sway, has been received by
the Knights of Columbus from Garry
McGarry, who is in charge of the well
fare activities of the order In Siberia.
The troupe was in charge of w. X.
Bandvard and had come from China
TO the Russian seaport, where they
were held up for several weeks await
ing a steamer.
During their stay, every one went
around with a revolver, and the city
took on the appearance of a western
"boom' town In pioneer days. During
the period the bolshevists killed about
% persons, and many of the actors
had narrow escapes. Several Of the
women actresses had to be taken to
and from the theater guarded by q
squad of allied soldiers. and at the
hotel where they stayed guard was
constantly posted. However, the
American troupe carried on" for the
doughboys amid all the panoply of war
and revolution. There were armed sol
diers inside the .theater, outside. be-
hind the scenes, and in the box Office.
All the audience brought their rifles
with them or carried side arms and
hand grenades. Chicago Post.

CHAMPLAIN FISHERMEN
MAKING BIG MONEY
Catching Perch Through Ice Proving
Profitable Business Near the
Foot of the Lake.

Burlington, Jan. 26-That some
fishermen are earning as high as SOS a
day in Mississguoi and Maquam
Bays. Vermont, was the statement
made today BY r. s. Isham, Deputy
State Fish and Game Warden CT Bur
lington who has just returned from a
tour Of inspection among the villages
of fishing shanties along the lake. He
told of two men near Alburg, Joseph
Mess and Edgar Jacquai, who made
about $3.50 apiece last week in catch
ing perch, which sch readily for
twenty cents pound, undressed.
The method, used by them is TO fish
through number Of no es at one
time and secure the line to willow
branch. which bobs when the fish
take hold CT the line.
In this way they run from one hole
to another and get in big catch dur
ing the day. The perch are more
plentiful than ever before. say the
fishermen. They are also running
big, averaging about a third OF a
pound.
Mr.. Isham said that he visited more
than 3U0 Shanties IN the two bays and
the total population of some of the
vi lagos on the ice where the fish are
biting well is larger than a third of
the Vermont villages.
In about month perch will be
abandoned for the pike, which are
shipped tc New York for better than
fifty cents per pound. This is the
most profitable time of the year for
fishing and the men who know the
ways OF the fnny tribe make more
money in few weeks than they other
wise could in months The tremend
Gus profits, made in fishing has at
tracted so many men that II is difficult
to get laborers ong the lake shore.
At the presen time in the small sta
tions among the islands, tons of fish
are being shipped every day.

COMP PR0M|sE ON
PEACE TREATY IS
IN GRAVE DANCER
Lodge Informs Democrats They
Ask Too Much
BREAK IN NEGOTIATIONS
Republicans VIII Not Allow Changes
In Reservations on Article 10 and
Monroe Doctrine
lhl..l.LLfl

Washington. Jan 26--The crisis IN
the negotiations looking ffst TO com
promise on reservations and then to
ratification OF the German peace
treaty entered q new phase today
AT the end Of last week Repub ican
irreconcilables notified Senator Lodge
(MassJ, the Republican leader, that
II there should be any concessions in
the reservations dealing with the
Monroe Doctrine and Article X, the
treaty would be rejected. They in
formed him that thirty-eight Sena
tors were determined on this attitude
and that negotiations looking further
to compromising these reservations
would be useless because Of their de-
cision.
When the bipartisan conference
was resumed this morning at the of
fice Of Senator Lodge he Immediately
announced to the Democratic confer
ees that this was the situation. II
would be impossible to permit any
CONCESSIONS as to these two reserva-
tions, and II further negotiations
were to be conducted 1t might as
we'll be with this fact plainly under
stood. :.
THAT fact being Altogether unaccept
able to the Democratic conferees
they promptly withdrew, headed by
Senator Hitchcock (Neb J. The an
nouncement by Senator Lodge great
ly and v.sibly perturbed the Demo
Gratis who displayed much agitation.
Down to the inauguration f,the re-
volt last week against the ccm-
promise proceedings the Democrats
had been hopeful Of accomplishment
and believed they had made import
ant progress. That. accomplishment
seemed suddenly swept into the dis
card by the new attitude. OF Senator
Lodge and the irreconciliable Republi
cans.
AS matter of fact II was precisely
because compromise agreement was
rumored to be so near that the re
volt took place. Senators who were
willing to be parties to nc COM
promise, who would not permit the
subtraction of anything whatever
from the reservations already agreed
on, took hand and served nct'ce
that they would have nothing to do
with it. AS they were able TO show
the votes to kill the treaty If their
terms were not met, nothing remain
ed but to accept the inevitable.

though this bout was scheduled as a
sem. final. it was the consensus of
opin on among the fans that 1t furnish
ed as much good boxing as the main
bout.
Although no decision was rendered,
1t would probably be fair to call the
bout a draw, but it looked to many of
the fans as though the sailor had a
shade.
Silent Mike" got in some good wal
lops, and it was by his clever block
ing, lunging and ducking that he got
out OF the way OF seve al OF Sultaire's
dangerous punches. He easily was the
fayorite of the fans, probably because
from this state, and should he ever
come to Rutland to box he VIII receive
