NEW YORK. October 22-Sudden

cratic managers and the La Toilette
leaders have tranferred the scene Of
battle for the remainder Of the pres

from now on this section will witness
mighty struggle between the con-

Jersey especially will be contested
inch by inch by John w. Davis and
Senator La Toilette in their efforts
to break into the Republican in
trenchments. With the Republicans it
VIII be case Of fighting to hold what
they already have.
Realizing at last that victory in
November will be utterly impossible
without carrying New York and New
Jersey. the Democratic managers are
to put their presidential candidate
before the voters of this region in
one last personal appeal for the sup
port of Democrats. The term their

visedly, for Charles W. Bryan will

in party SUCCESS wish the voters could

SPAIN TO SHIFT BIG
FORCE IN MOROCCO
Outlying Garrisons to Be With

/ Inland Established.
BY the Associa ted Press.

PARIS, October 22.-The Spanish
premier, Gen. Primo Rivera, intends
to withdraw the outlying garrisons in
Morocco and establish a pacifed zone
extending a reasonable distance in
land, he is quoted as declaring to the
Uetuan correspondent of LIE Journal.
Formerly, he said, through an error
In method, 1000 men were scattered
among 400 blockhouses between
which communication was extremely
difficult. The garrisons of these posts
we're necessarily small and were often
Torced to capitulate from lack of
water. The remaining ones now will
be withdrawn.
LAS soon as ] have gathered in all
my people," the premier continued, az
coast and for a reasonable distance
inland a series of extremely strong
bases. The natives esta blished in this
completely pacified zone will have the
advantages of railroads, highways,
ports and markets. If those living
outside wish to come to buy or sell
commodities they will only be allowed
to enter on one condition-give up
their rifles.
This modification of our occupation
will be most expensive, but we shall
carry 1t out. 1t Is impossible for us
to effect an agreement with Abd-el-
Krim (rebel chieftain) or recognize
h Riffian state. We are resolved to
emerge victorious in this struggle
and we shall do so.'

i. s. MONEY LEADS
IN AIDING EUROPE
Deals of Colossal Proportions
Are Forecast by Re-
cent Loans.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

American capital is preparing to
take the lead in the rehabilitation of
Europe. The German loan of $110,-
100000. which is shortly to be fol-
lowed by a Morgan-directed loan of
$50. 100000 to France, is the opening
phase of a movement destined to as
sumo colossal dimensions. Not the
least interesting feature in the situa-
tion is the rivalry that will ensue be-
tween New York and London for
premier place as the worlds banker.
New York conquered that position
during the war, in consequence of the
vast United States Treasury opera
tions with allied governments.
Now that British finance has more
or less recovered it's equilibri ium.
London is determined to recover the
leadership she held for so many years
until the World War transferred the
scepter to Uncle Sam. Wall Street
expects early and important moves
on the part of London in the direc-
tion of re-establishing the supremacy
of the British money market. The
advancement of the pound sterling
to parity E4.S665) is one of the
British moves that are anticipated.
Sterling is now ranging around $44S
to s4.4s.
U. s. Capital Flows Abroad.
Unbeknown to the general public,
because not advertised widely like
the recent German loan. American
capital has been flowing abroad on
heavy scale. During the first eight
months Of 1924 a total of roundly
$3.50, 100000 was loaned to foreign
governments and corporations, includ-
ing Canada and the United States
insular possessions. This is, OF
course, private capital supplied by
American banks and investors. The
only connection of the Government
with such transactions is the ap-
proval of the State Department,
which is usually sought before i'm
portant loans are made. Our dollars
were sent abroad from January
to September l in more than twice
the quantity they were sent In the
same period OF 1923.
The aggregate of foreign security
issues in 1929 was $39S,217.000. This
total was the smallest for any year
since the end of the World War. In
1922 the sum was $S97,20S,0O0, of
which $626. 6.75S.000 was loaned to for
eign governments. The latter in
cluded Cuba, the Dutch East Indies
Norway, Switzerland, Finland, SAL
vador and Argentina. London out
stripped New York in the amount of
foreign and colonial capital issues
in 1928, the British total having reach
ed roundly $650,000,00 A compari-
son of the British with American
figures shows that in 1922 combined
foreign and colonial capital issues in
Great Britain were % per cent less

ALLOW OFFICERS
TO JUDGE TRAFFIC
Confusion Caused by New
Ruling Brings Decision to
Permit Man Discretion.

Traffic officers henceforth will follow
the rule of blowing their whistles and
then waiting long enough for moving
vehicles and pedestrians to clear the In
tersection before changing the flow of
traffic.
Inspector Albert ]. Headley. chief Of
the Traffic Bureau, stated today that
while the experiment yesterday indicated
that it is inadvisable to wait 80 seconds
after blowing the whistle before turning
the sign, he believes the principle is a
good one.
THE length of time that should
elapse between the blowing of the
warning whistle and the actual
changing of the sign will be left to
the judgment Of the individual officer
at each corner" the inspector ex-
planned. LAS soon as the vehicles that
have started across are clear of the
intersection the officer will turn the
semaphore."
Fail to observe Rule.
Police officials claim that this has
been the instruction to traffic officers
for long time, but it has been the
observation of motorists that in most
cases the officers had adopted a Gus
turning the signs simultaneously
The experiment yesterday proved
beneficial in that 1t resulted in Inspec-
tor Headley instructing his men today
to observe the rule of allowing a brief
period of time to elapse between the
blast Of the whistle stopping traffic
in one direction and the turning of the
sign starting 1t in the other direction.
In explaining why he believes 1t
better to allow each officer to Judge
how many seconds should elapse be-
tween the whistle and the changing
of the sign, the inspector pointed
out that some intersections are wider
than others and require more time
for vehicles to cross.
Pedestrfans Can Help.
The chief of the traffic bureau de-
clared conditions at intersections
would be greatly improved il pedes-
trians as well as vehicles would
guide their movements by the traffic
semaphore.
The simplest rule for pedestrians,
he said, is for them to move when the
traffic going in their direction moves
When the whistle blows for traffic
going north and south to stop, pedes-
trians crossing in those directions
also should wait at the curb until the
east and west traffic has passed. he
urged.

LUTHERAN LOYALTY
Greeting to Church Conven-
tion Recalls Part Played
in u. S.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, October 22.-President
Coolidge, in greeting read here to-
day. lauded the contribution of Luther
ans to the development of the original
colonies of this country and to the strug-
gle for American independence. He con-
graduated the United Lutheran Church
in America, which is in biennial conven-
ton, and its related bodies, because they
are nurturing among newcomers from
Europe the American ideals Of the early
Lutheran colonists.
His letter follows IT extend my greet
ings to the fourth biennial convention Of
the United Lutheran Church in America
Made up in such large degree of The
descendants Of that sturdy Lutheran
stock which played such an important
part in the development Of the colonies,
in the success Of the Revolutionary war.
the United Lutheran Church has proud
heritage.
Foundation Of Greatness.
"As I study the three great move
ments of humanity into the American
colonies, the Puritans into New Eng
land, the Lutherans and Quakers into
Pennsylvania. and the cavaliers into Vir-
ginia, and examine the history Of their
amalgamation in blood and unity in
spirit, / realize that this amalgamation
and union form one of the foundations
of Americas greatness.
"Muhlenberg and his men from Penn
sylvania and the Lutheran soldiers from
western Maryland, the Shenandoah VAL
ley of Virginia, western North Carolina
and South Carolina, made glorious his
tory for the patriot cause during the
descend a
spreading out over the Mississippi VAL
ley, had a leading role in the develop
ment of that great granary OF the world
During the Civil War such or
ganizations as the Iron Brigade were
on every battlefield upholding the
unity OF the States.
Many Served In War.
ut is little wonder that with such
traditions to inspire their sons and
grandsons, s per cent Of the Luther
ans in America were in the service
of their country during the World
War, as compared with per cent for
the general population.
The sons of Scandinavia who have
come to America in more recent times
have shown the same sturdy spirit
and represent a contribution of vast
value to the human assets of our
country's future.
II am happy to realize that the
United Lutheran Church and its re-
lated bodies, all partaking of the
Americanism implanted in their an
cestry and traditions. are nurturine
the same in the hearts Of those Of
their faith who now leave Europe and
cast their fortunes with our people,"
The convention was opened last
night with a sermon by Rev. DR.. F.
H. Knuble of New York. president of
the church, who said:
"Too much does the church covet
and possess the reputation Of being
society of good people. 1t would
have a truer social message IL it were
better known and wished to be better
known as an association of acknowl-
edged sinners who have been forgiven

NORFOLK, Va, October 22.-The
death of John Uzzolino. seaman, New

brought the death list from the ex-
plosion Monday aboard the United
States ship Trenton to thirteen. Four
others died during last night and early
this mornin.
OF the five surviving members of the

disast three still are thought to be
in a critical condition.

night.
Fear for Others.
All of those now in the hospital are
suffering from burns about the head and
face and attending physicians fear
they inhaled smoke or flames, which
may cause pneumonia or other sert-
Gus complications. Several of them
complained last night of being
hoarse, and doctors considered this
particularly bad symptom. Several or
the patients also had their eyelashes
burned, and 1t is feared their sight
might have been affected.
Lieut.. John Arthur Sedgwick, who
rescued two OF his shipmates from
drowning after his own arm had been
broken, was reported as greatly i'm
proved today, and physicians said he
will recover.
Joseph Leo White, turret captain,
first class, in charge of the enlisted
men in the forward turret when the
explosion occurred. was the only sur
vivor able today to give an account
of the accident.
All Precautions Taken.

side came up all right. Then gave
word to the man at the ammunition
hoist on the left gun to bring up pow

him when he turned the switch to
start the ammunition hoist motor. and
a minute or so after he did there was

Three charges of powder, each
weighing 80 pounds, were 'exploded,

little damaged by the blast, they
added.
Survivors of the disaster were loud
in their praise today of the heroism
of Ensign Henry Clay Drexler and
Lieut. Sedgwick. Drexler, who was
Junior turret officer, went into the
burning turret and pulled out three
men, they said, and as he was about
to return to rescue the fourth dropped

bonded caretaker guards the resi-

last week, following the discovery of
a boarded fortune stuffed and

Granny of the house.
The guard was established when
crowds of persons lured by the re-

to overrun the premises. Bank officials
today admitted that the rich woman
had drawn several thousand dollars
from her account recently to dis
tribute in modest bequests among her
friends. 1t also became known that
hardly a receptacle in the house has
failed to give up money. Clocks, pic
ture frames, covered plates and
cracks and crevices poured out old
gold and bank notes. Much of the
gold coin is said to be of ancient
vintage; many pieces from the Cali
fornia mint, coined while the gold
rush was at its height. will command
premiums.
Last OF Old Family.
Miss Shumate was the last of her
line, a prominent Frederick County
family that had conserved riches
through a whole century. 1t appears
that she did not complete the work of
writing her will, for a document has
been found in which only one bequest
is made, and that for only a small
portion of her holdings.
No mention was made of the dispo-
sition of enormous bank stock hold
ings, bank accounts farms and city
property, all of which her bank here,
