COOLIDGE PITCHES (
INTO WISCONSIN
Says Democrats Are Spellbound
by Presidents dominating
Personality"

Washington. Oct. 27.-The Repub-
iican party walks the high road of
American government for Americans"
and "the American people walk with
that party" Governor Coolidge de-
clared In a pre- election statement made
public here last night.
The Republican vice presidential can
didate said the issues Of the campaign
in the minds OF most Americans have
been reduced to one: the question
whether our government shall or shall
not be a constitutional government, a
government Of laws and not Of men,"
The Republica party" the candi-
date asserted, Stands upon the foun-
dation Of our American consti-
tuition. It will not depart from It.
The Democratic party, under the
spell of dominating personality, has
stepped down from that foundation, and
points to mirage In which there is no
sustenance and no life.
The shores of history are strewn
with the wreckage of republics which
fell before the ambitions Of selfish des-
pots, or which disintegrated beneath
the blight of an unwise personal exalta-
tion."
Governor Coolidge's statement In part
follows:
1T is the continuous problem Of gov
ernment to adapt ourselves to new needs,

CHURCH BUSY AS 1T MOVES
Services Conducted In Old Stone
Edlfiee While Changing Site

Pittsburgh, Oct. 27.-As parishioners
prayed masses were said by priests and
funerals conducted almost daily In st.
Nary's Catholic Church, swarm OF
men moved the old stone structure
along Third avenue to new resting
place, at Ferry street and Third ave-
nue..
The work of moving. which had been
in progress two months, was finis he'd
yesterday, the men working as they
could get released from other jobs.
Holes were cut in the foundation walls
and through these heavy timbers were
placed the length of the building. Across
these we're laid steel needles" resting
on timbers. Under these were score OF
heavy rollers which rested on steel
tracks.
At one end Of the building movers
turned jacks by means of crowbars.
As these were turned the pressure ap-
piled moved the building forward an
inch at a time.

NO LET-UP IN n. Y.
BUILDING INQUIRY
Governor Relieves District At
torney Of Criminal Prosecu-
tons and Calls New Jury
ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ACT

New York, Oct. Ex-Governor Smith
appointed Charles d. Newton, attorney
general. to prosecute all building graft
ers against whom evidence Is presented
by the Lockwood committee, and at the
same time announced a new extraordi-
nary grand jury win be summoned to
deal exclusively with these cases. In
sisting that all gousers must be pun
ished, the governor granted the demand
Of the committees counsel that District
Attorney Swami have no hand in run
ming down the criminals.
In order that there may be no delay
1t was agreed that Samuel Untermyer,
chief counsel for the committee, be
clothed with authority to 20 before the
regular term Of the November grand
jury, which meets on Monday next, to
present evidence of crime. Mr.. Inter
myer is expected then to ask for at least
three indictments. The regular jury
will turn over all its information to the
extraordinary term as soon as the lat
ter can be convened, which probably
will be in about three weeks.
Startling Proof OF Graft
The action assuring speed and prose-
cution of the grating ring in the build
ing trade free from the suspicion Of
political complications came last night
after the counsel for the committee,
delving further into the Vaccinations
Of the SYSTEM" had brought to light
new proof of its operations on a scale
so extensive as to be almost unbeliev-
able.
1t was shown, for example, that the
masters of the system were not con.
tent with extorting money to call off
strikes. to allow ordinary legitimate
building to go ahead and laying tribute
on all the trades and materials which
60 into building, but actually collect
at the rate of 81 load for every truck
load Of wreckage carted away from
building in the process of demolition.
At least S25OO has been collected in a
few weeks from truckmen at one big
uptown hotel being torn down.
Side Issue Melted Thousands Weekly
Further it was shown that after the
Home Wreckers Union was split open
less than one year ago in fight with
the Building Trade Council, of which
Robert p. Brindell Is president, col
lectors representing themselves to be
from that organization have levied $40
a week on the salaries of between 700
and 500 workmeu formerly in the
union. This item Of from $1,000 to
$4,000 week Is picayune, merely one
Of the little side issues in the whole
stupcndous scheme of extortion.
Mayor Hylan gave orders that. the
commissioner Of accounts investigate
every city contract for building made
in the last year. There Is evidence
that on many such contracts, and
especially those for public schools have
been boosted by the provisions Of the
"code of procedure" devised to profiteer.
Wholesale cancellation Of contracts may
result shortly.
The whole flimsy structure built up
by the System" is beginning to totter.
There are many signs Of its crumbling.
Contractors are rushing to cover and
are eager to give information.

CHICAGO "DRY" CHIEF QUITS
palrympIe Offended Politicians by
Activity Against Ring

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Major A. V.
Dalrymple. supervisor Of prohibition
enforcement agents in the central
states, has quit. He will step out of
Office on Monday.
"Politics" is the reason given in the
federal building for Major Dalrymple's $
resignation.
It is said that recent developments in
connection with the "$1 900 900 whisky
ring" which involved several men of in
fluence in Democratic circles, has made
Major Dalrymple's resignation accept
able to the administration.
The prohibition directors resignation
has been in the hands of his superiors
in Washington several months, 1t was
learned. 1t had been refused, however.
and it was believed the major would
remain in power until March.

P0sT0FFICE THIEF CAUGHT
Youth With Loaded Revolver Falls
In Second Visit

Doylestown, Pa, Oct. 27.-After q
posse of police and farmers had
searched Buckingham mountain two
hours yesterday, Jonas Bodine eighteen
years old, of Lambertville, N. j., was
captured and admitted robbing the
Buckingham Valley postoffice and the
store Of Edward Crouthamel Of $125
on October 10 in daylight while the
postmaster was home eating lunch.
Bodine left his Lambertville home yes
terday morning and arrived in Buck
ingham Valley at noon, armed with q
loaded revolver. 'I came to rob the
store and postoffce the second time

only thing that stopped me this time
was that the postmaster did not go

BERLIN SUBMITS 10
PACTS TO LEAGUE
Council Somewhat Surprised at
Receiving Texts in Reply
to Invitation
ROOT COURT PLAN lNDORSED

Paris, Oct. 27.-The German Govern
ment. somewhat to the surprise Of the
council of the League Of Nations, has
sent to the league Offices in London ten
treaties or diplomatic agreements
entered into by Germany with various
powers since January 10. it was
learned here yesterday. This step was
taken in consequence Of the circular in :
vitation sent to all the governments Of
the world except that of Soviet
Russia by order of the league council at
its meeting in Rome last March.
The treaties and agreements are the
Franco German agreement concerning
the harbor Of Kenl on the Rhine; the
specting Article 297 Of the Treaty Of
Versailles; Swedish German notes Of
March 81 on German Swedish
commercial treaty; an agreement
with the Letvian republic about
the exchange OF prisoners; an agree
ment to the same effect between
Germany and Hungary; the Franco
German protocol for execution of Article
6S Of the Treaty of Versailles an
agreement between Germany and the
Russian Soviets for the exchange Of
nationals; an agreement with various
states concerning the preservation or re-
establishment Of rights in industrial
property affected by the world war !;
further agreements with Soviet Russia
relating to the exchange of nationals,
and finally, a treaty with Letvia on the
resumption of relations.
The League of Nations now has SO
treaties. among which are fifteen sent in
by Great Britain. Belgium has not yet
complied with the request Of the league
for the text on the Belgian military
convention with France.
Brussels. Oct. 27.-The council Of
the League of Nations has approved
the plan for a permanent court OF in
ternational justice as adopted by The
Hague committee of jurists. with the
exception Of the provision for obliga-
tory jurisdiction and some minor mat
ters.
Those parts of the plan generally at
tributed to Elihu Root, the former
American secretary Of state, were ac-
cepted in their entirety.
The council decided that It could not
recommend to the assembly Of the
league a plan going farther than the
covenant Of the league, which pro-
vides that both parties to a dispute
must give their consent in order to
bring their case into court. The ques-
ton of the compulsory adherence Of
defending nation will, however, be
submitted for study to all the legal
associations, including the American
Institute for International Law, along
with other points that may come up,
as suggested by Mr.. Root.
The council yesterday resumed its
hearing on the Polish Lithuanian sit
uation. 1t is understood that the
members of the council favor a plebiscite
to settle the dispute between the two
countries. The discussion was note
worthy, owing to the fact that NJ.
Askenazi. a Jewish professor in the
University of Warsaw, replaced NJ.
Paderewski, ex premier Of Poland, who
was prevented by illness from attending.

Exclusion League Of California, through
the chairman Of its executive committee,
]. s. Chambers, state controller OF
California, has issued statement In
answer to that made public October 70
by the Federal Council Of Churches OF
