UNDERWOOD'S VIEWS ON LEAGUE CHANGE
No Longer Strong Advocate, He
 Tells Chicago Newspaper

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-Senator Os- car W. Underwood, Alabamas can didate for the democratic presiden- tial nomination, is no longer a strong advocate of the League of Nations, according to an interview credited to him by The Chicago Trib- une today. The following statement was attributed to the senator:
 T am no longer a strong advocate of the League of Nations. My origi- nal views are well known. How ever, on my trip abroad I saw the league at work. Developments then and subsequently, have changed my attitude. The failure of the league to function in the dispute between Italy and Greece had much to do with the change"
 The senator also said he did not think the league would be an is- sue in the approaching presidential campaign.
 "The present administration's lack of a definite foreign policy and it's failure to achieve any notable &C., complishments at home will furnish the best demo ocratic campaign ma- terial," the senator was quoted by the Tribune as saying.
 Senator Underwood, who was once strong advocate of the league was in Chicago on his way to Wash ington. He had been on fishing trip at Eagle River, Wis.

Call-Post Claims Confession Tells
 Of Theft


 Of Theft
 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-The San Francisco Call-Post publishes today an article stating that the con- fidential letter written by United States Senator Hiram Johnson to c. H. McClatchy. editor of the sacra- mento, Cal, Bee, in which the sena- tor discussed his political chances in 1924, was stolen from the private files of Albert E. Boynton, chair man of the republican state central committee, by George c. Hardwick a former employe, who tuprned copies over to Gov. Friend W. Richardson and Andrew Lawrence, publisher of the San Francisco Journal
 The Call-Post says it Is in posses sion of a signed confession from Hardwick, a resident of Berkeley Cal, who admits taking the cor respondence for reasons of personal revenge against Boynton and not he did not know. Hardwick was dis missed from Boynton's employ last July. He asserted in his statement to the Call-Post that he had been promised employment both by Gov ernor Richardson, from whom he said he received a letter of thanks for sending the Boynton corres- pondence, and George D. Squiers, state insurance commissioner. The promised employment, however, did not materialize, Hardwick said, and he is at present in distressed cir cumstances with a wife and three children to support.

GALL FUR RALLY OF
 DRY FORCES MADE BY CHURCH BODY
Conference Announced For Washington Oct. 14-16 To
 Revive Interest

WASHINGTON, Sept 21.-A call for a rally of the dry forces of the na- tion in support of the eighteenth amendment was sent forth tonight by the federal council of churches. A good citizenship and patriotism com ference" was announced to be held in Washington, October 14 to l6, TO spur on those who believe in prohl- hilton but have lost active interest
 The call was signed by 756 men and women. Heading the list were the names of William Jennings Bryan, former Governor Carl K. Milliken of Maine, and Prohibition Commissioner Row A, Haynes Date chosen for the conference preceded by a few days the time tentatively selected by President Coolidge for meeting or covernors on law enforcement. The call went out, however, before MT Coolidge's plans had been announced and it was said there was no signlfl- canoe to be attached to the time of the gathering.
 Two commissions of the federal council of churches-those on tenn nerance and on councils GocaD of churches sponsored the call which 4t was announced, was issued m reooe.nition of the tremendous propa- wanda which is being carried on to nullify the eighteenth amendm ent and the Volstead act and to discredit
 "Reaiizing," said statement is- sued by leaders in the movement that "inactivity and apathy has re, suited in an apparent growth or liquor sentiment and in a non-obser- vance of the enforcement act not onIv by state officials and bootleg gers, but also by men and women, who are law abiding in every other way. the leaders state that they have planned the conference with the idea of recovering the moral or Inc moral and Christian forces upon the prohibition issue"
 The statement set forth as "seri- ous facts" that in certain sections there was an alarming degree of flaw violation and dangerous wrde- lepread indifference" to all kinds or Iavs which seem to interfere with s'so- called personal liberty" This, 4t said, if unrestrained, eventually would manifest itself in increased violation of all law "and the rule of the mob will become the method of the vicious"
 Huston Quinn. mayor of Louisville Ky,, and Dr. James l. Vance or Nash- jyfIIe, Tenn, signed the call.
