i1 the event the democrats nominate Hoover. He says that the southern de- mocracy, in that event, should hoFd a convention of it's own and go down into honorable defeas supporting it's own ideas rather than accept the more alluring chance of victory behind Hoover with his English label and his czarish platitudes.
 Other democrats, and Senator Reed is fair example, are going about destroy ing Hoover with ridicule. In a speech in the Senate the Missouri satirist nomina Bod George Creei as Hoover's running mSs%. Commenting in course of his remar aA on the declaration that MT. Hoover prior to his thirtieth year amassed fortune of .00o Senator Reed warned Senator Lodge that the republican party was. doomed unless it sought to match Hoov- CTS money-making aptitude with that of "Get-Rich-Quick' Wallingford.
 So the Hoover boom is collapsed. Unless the very powerful personages behind him the President, the owners of the metro politan press, King George and others openly assert their support of him and energetically wage a campaign for him. which they will not do. he might be re- garded as one who made his bow and quietly retired.
 And the League of Nations, inferentisl- ly has not been benefited by what is made to appear an attempt on the part of the King of England to name the next President of the United States.

PLANNING RERUKE
 FOR ADMIRAL SIMS

Washington, January 8.-(SpeciaL)- Irrespective of their opinion of Secretary Daniels, it becomes evident that the democrats in Congress will make per sistent effort not only to rebuke Admiral Sims for having made charges against the naval department, but will endeavof by formal action of Congress to prevent his promotion, if not to reduce him in rank and to eliminate his allowances and other pecuniary emoluments.
 When the naval appropriation bin is considered by the House committee. Of which several southerners. including Rep resentative vinson of Georgia, Represen- tative Oliver of Alabama, Representative Nichols of South Carolina and others, are members, there Is no question but that an amendment will be differed, which, if adopted, would practically force Sims out of the navy. The amendment may reduce him in rank, may prevent his pro- motion, may effect his pay, and cut orr allowances. It may take, in addition, the form. as suggested by MT. Vinson, of preventing any man, not born in >the United States, attaining the rank of ad- niral
 The action of the democrats in bitterly ararigning the admiral, as Representative Byrnes of South Carolina arraigned him in a speech yesterday and in endeavor- ing to secure his official rebuke, as Sem ator- Walsh some days ago endeavoreo' and in p|anning legislative action to ef- feet his rank and pay, will necessarily make the issue between the seaman and the secretary a purely partisan issue. In consequencse, as has already been point ed out in this correspondence. the real merits in the cause will be ohscured by political immaterialities-
 In addition to sensations already prom ised. it is reported today that Senator elect Glass of Virginia. as soon as he takes his seat, will proceed against The admiral MT Glass was congressional visitor to England during the time of war, and heard Admiral Sims give ex- pression to the alleged facts which MT. Byrnes 90 vigorously assailed yesterday,
 Representative Oliver. Alabama's mem Der of the committe on naval affairs, was non-committal today when asked his po- sition relative to the effort to discipline Sims, but did point out several instances of the navy's effectiveness during the war which Sims, in his statements, on ted probably not through ignorance.

 bassador to the United States, were di-
 recting the Hoover boom, or having it
 directer as the case might have been.
 The participation of Lord Grey. together
 with the fact that for many years Hoover resided in England, where now is located
 the bulk of his property, have vastly con- , tributed towards the collapse of the Hoover boom, for there is no question hut that the boom has undergone a more or less complete collapse.
 It has been previously pointed out that the conservative element of the demo- cratic party has never looked with favor on Hoover He was very successful as a food administrator during the war when he was possessed of the power of a czar.,
 when, as a matter of fact, he would write the menu for every breakfast table

suggestion for the prospective builder of summer cottage is embodied in the description given by Popular Mechanics Magazine of a house recently erected by disciple of the popular gospel of fresh air" The man has done away entirely with the ordinary windows of glass; in- stead, he has equipped his home with windows of heavy board, hinged at the top, and pierced only for two small glass panes When the windows are fully raised the house is flooded with fresh air; yet they may be lowered and locked
 when the owner leaves, so as to make the dwelling practically burglar proof.

 Washington, January 8.-(Special.)- Since, the dispatch of this bureau declar- ing Herbert c. Hoover the choice of President Wilson for the democratic nom- nation, which was the first intimation to that effect published in the United States, it has developed that not only was that dispatch acurate, but that one of the shrewdest and most prodigious gambles for the presidency was even at that time well under way.
 1t had been made to appear by half 8 dozen men that Mir Hoover was not de- sifous of the nomination; that, as mat ter of fact. he was running away from it. this despite the strenuous efforts of both the republican and democratic parties to thrust their highest honors upon him. It develops. however, that those half a dozen men were carefully laying a foun- dation for Hoover with the object of eventually presenting him as one who arose in response to the unanimous de- mand of an entire people.

LIQUOR ON VISITING
 SHIPS PROVES PROBLEM

Washington, January 2S.-(Special.)-- The Italian and Spanish embassies have addressed formal interrogation to the state department demanding to know by what authority agents of the United States government entered vessels flying the flags of Italy and Spain, as they ap- preached New York, and over the pro- test of their captains sealed the hatches in which wine and ether intoxicating liquors were contained.
 The Italian protest is judged the more serious of the two in view of the fact that the sailors under the Italian flag are guaranteed in contract certain pcr- tion of wine with meals each day. When the wine was denied them in New York practical mutiny was the result.
 The United States Is in a great dilemma regarding these protests. If a ship un- der the flag of foreign nation is re- garded as extra territorial, just as an exH- bassy in Washington, under foreign flag is judged extra territorial, there would of course be great opportunity Tor Americans to quench their thirsts while these foreign vessels were anchored in American port. It is regarded as prob able that an agreement VIII pc made with all foreign countries to the effect that their vessels in American ports will be regarded as extra territorial provided guarantee is given that while such ves- sels are in United States waters no American will be suffered to secure liquors from such vessefs' strongholds.
 In Washington liquor is received at all foreign embassies without question. As far as known, nos foreign embassy has been embarraSsed through any of it's household disposing of the stuff illegally, although visitors to the embassies are, in accordance with the customs of che respective countries, served wine with meals, or liquors in the form of high balls when meals are not served.

WANT A court
FOR DOMESTIC
RELATION CASES

New Haven, Sept. 2s.-Owing. to
the difficulty in getting important
cases tried in the civil superior court
because of the way that courts
docket is cheked with divorce cases
local attorneys have suggested the
transfer of all divorce suits to. the
civil court of common pleas, either
, for trial before the regular court or
before an especially created COM
mon pleas court of domestic rela-
tons.
This court of domestic relations
could try not only divorce cases but
all cases founded on domestic dis
cord, such as non-support. deserton,
alimony, non-payments, etc.
There is already a movement to
extend the Jurisdiction of the court
of common pleas SO as to relieve the
congestion of cases in the superior
court by taking care Of all cases
where the damages asked are less
than $4,000 and the New Haven
County Bar association has a COM
| mittee looking after the necessary
legislation.
1t has been suggested that this
same committee arrange for the
transfer of the divorce cases also.
