STUMP SPEECH
BY GOVERNOR COX

don't want that interrupted, do you!
"The committee has full 1urisdlc
ton and can call the governor IL y

| thing sinister which you have been
able to discover is this Barnes book
| asked Kenyon.
That's lead" said White.
tIs that as sinister as you plan to
publish broadcast at democratic ex.
pense this story. Uncle Sam OF
! Freedom Ridge?'" demanded Ken
yon.
White said he couldn't see any
thing sinister about a publication OF
an argument for the league OF ma
tions. The most sinister thing about
the Barnes book, he said, was that,
though many $1,000 subscriptions to
it had been obtained, nobody ap-
peared to have seen copy Of the
book.
Kenyon inquired concerning pay
ment of democratic speakers. White
said he engaged DR.. John o. Hall,
professor in Willamette college, Port.
land, Ore, at 500 per week, but dis
missed him when he learned Hall
had negotiated with the republicans.
Senator New, Of Indiana. head OF
the republican speakers bureau, tes-
titled yesterday that Hall told him
the democrats had offered him $1,000
year and a good job after election.
New said Hall was employed at
democratic headquarters in New
York.

cratic national committee has col
lected to date only $4,000 for its
national campaign fund and must
depend ON small popular contribu-
lions to provide the remainder of its

George White, chairman of the com.
mittee, testified today before the sem
ate "slush fund" investigators here.
Farley P. Christensen, presidential
nominee of the Farmer-Labor party,
announced today that he would re-
quest an opportunity to present to
the committee this afternoon evil
dence concerning the financing of
both the republican and democratic
party campaigns.
Christensen has prepared state
ment in which, it is understood, he
charges that Wall street and J. P.
Morgan are backing both Harding !
and Cox, financially.
White painted a picture of party
activity that was in sharp contrast
to the republican account presented

UNTERMYER SAYS
HE'LL BACK FUSION
Willing to Cooperate With
Anti-Tammany Forces to
Defeat Hylan.

Samuel Untermyer. counsel for the
Lockwood Legislative investigating COM
mittee. stands ready to cooperate in the
nomination and election of non-parti-
san, anti-Tammany municipal ticket
next fall. He would be glad to support
for Mayor Senator c. C. Lockwood OF
Brooklyn. chairman of the committee,
or big man of either major party who
might be possessed of business sense
and moral courage. If the anti-Tam-
many forces do not combine Mr.. Inter-
myer fears that Mayor Hylan may be
reelected on the straight Democratic
ticket
This was learned yesterday by poiti-
clans interested in the coming cam
paign. who asked Mr.. Untermyer about
a report that he would be willing to be-
come candidate for Mayor on n fusion
ticket.
Mr.. Untermyer has always been
loyal Tammany man. 1t is matter OF
common knowledge on the part Of the
insiders that he could have had the
Tammany nomination three years ago.
1t was after he had turned it down that
John f. Hylan was picked. Mr. Inter
myer devoted most of his time to help
ing the Hylan campaign
As one of his friends puts it: "Hylan
went around with pockets stuffed full
of letters written by Untermyer steer
ing him straight"
IT is said Mr.. Untermyer talked
frankly about the municipal situation
and his part in Il. He told his callers
that in no circumstances would he con-
slider becoming a candidate. In the first
place. II was hard and disagreeabic
job that did not appeal TO him. Then. he
was 62 years old and his health de-
manded that he should spend at least
five months every year away from Men
York city.
Mr.. Cntermyer is much interested in
the municipal situation and would be
only too glad 10 do all in his power 80
place in the City Hall an anti-Tammany
Mayor who could be counted on to give
n business administration free from par
tisan bias. II is his opinion that Mayor
Hylan will be renomnated by Tammany.
While Mayor Hylan Is rather discred-
tied in the public mind. according 20
Mr.. Untermyer's judgment, he has a GER
tain shrewdness. that makes him for
midable candidate

ough is surrounded by water which from
no position over the island could be at
greater distance than could be reached
by a plane gliding from an altitude of
5000 feet. Open water or other landing
places are not so convenient for avia-
tors flying over the heart Of Brooklyn or
The Bronx, and it is necessary, there
fore. that a greater altitude be required
over those boroughs
Suitable regulations must be made
against stunt flying over the city also.
The aviator should not be allowed to
take any risks which might add TO the
peril OF persons on the ground.
at Is anticipated that some difficulty
may be experienced in enforcement of
such an ordinance. and for that reason
penalties should be made very severe, so
that the prospect of the penalty itself
will make the risk of escaping detection
or identification too great to be under
taken. II is possible in nearly all cases
TO identify an arplane.
There probably will be some opposi-
ton TO some of he provisions incorpo-
rated in the ordinance. For instance,
the altitude requirements are likely 10
interfere with the making Of photo
graphs of the city or buildings from the
air. and aerial photographers might rea-
sonably be expected 10 wish the law otk-
erwise. Where responsibility for the
lives and safety of the residents are con-
cerned however. it will be necessary to
combat such suggestions for the ameli-
Grafton of the regulations"
The proposed ordinance has the sup
port of Henry Fl. Curran, President OF
the Borough of Manhattan. and other
members of the board.

LA GUARDLA PLANS TO CURB
AIR TRAFFIC OVER CITY
Planes Must Fly High and Avoid "Stunts" Under
Ordinance Prepared by Alder
manic President

+. II. La Guardia, President of the
Board OF Aldermen. announced yester-
day that he is preparing an ordinance
which will be introduced in the board
for the regulation of air traffic over the
city of New York.
With the increase of flying over the

that measures be taken for the protec-
ton of the lives of the residents. So
far within the city proper we have had
no serious disasters from the operation
of aircraft over the city, but 1t is i'm
possible to say when such a thing might
occur. That II will occur with the rapid
growth of air traffic Is Inevitable I'M

vent IT,
The full provisions OF the proposed
ordinance are not yet complete. but am
in conference with men conversart with
flying and flying regulations and the de-
tails are being worked out.
"Of course a primary requisite of such
an ordinance must be that il requires
aviators in flying over the city to fly at
a sufficient height to permit the machine
to glide TO a clear and safe landing in
event forced landing should become
necessary. l am Of the opinion that
height Of 5000 feet should be made com

DRINKS ARE FORCED
TO TIP RUM RAIDERS
Wives Complaints Are Fol-
lowed by Confessions Order
ed by U. s. Attorney Ross.
THREE WARRANTS ISSUED
Action Under State Liquor
Law Fails Because Cops
Drink Evidence.

Half a dozen men whose wives had
complained to the Federal authorities
that in spite OF prohibition their hus-
bands managed TO get more than
enough to drink were summoned yes
terday before Leroy w. Ross. United
States District Attorney In Brooklyn
under Grand Jury subpenas Mr.. Ross
told them that they could either tell
him in the privacy of his office where
they got the booze, or they could go be-
fore the Grand Jury and give whatever
evidence they possessed He called at
tention also to the fact that the truth
must be told to grand juries. so the half
dozen men unbosomed themselves to the
District Attorney.
As a result of information given by
these men, whose names were withheld,
Mr.. Ross caused the issuance OF three
search warrants against saloons where
liquor, according To the Information,
had been sold. These warrants were
turned over to the prohibition enforce
ment agents The places probably will
be raided within a few days and what
ever liquor found will be confiscated.
The appearance OF the half dozen men
yesterday was the first step Mr. Ross
has taken in his plan to make DRINKS,
including those convicted before the
courts and those whose wives and rela-
tives complain, tell where they obtained
the liquor Some time ago he an
nounced that he would ask the magis-
trates and justices of the peace to send
him the names of men convicted of
drunkenness. SO that he could summon
them before the Grand Jury. The only
names he has obtained so far are those
a. three men in the RiVerhead a.. L.
