pROGRESSIVES IN
IOWA EXPECT BIG
STATE MAJORITY
@
Say Senator BroOkhart VIII
Declare Self for La Fol-
lette.
LOWELL AfELLETT,
Times staff Correspondent.

IN
DIES MONIES, Ia, Sept. 81
Iowa will be as safe for La Toilette
I within a week as Wisconsin, in the
4 opinion OF progressives here. They
4 expect Senator Smith BrOOkhart.
4 whose reelection is conceded by
majority ranging from 10O. 900 to
500, 0O0-depending on the degree of
! disbursement n the regular Re
( publican making the prediction-to
announce himself definitely for La
\ Toilette early next week. With that
done, progressives say, nothing in
] the world can check the progressive
sweep of the State.
Brookhart's commitment to La
I Toilette is put down as a certainty.
i In addition, however. there is a per
sistent rumor in Des Moines that
4 William s. Kenyon, former Senator,
now United States Circuit judge. viii
! declare himself also for La Toilette
q Kenyon and Brookhart are close po-
IiticaI allies. Brookhart having re-
ceived his present place through
4 Kenyon's resignation. The an
nouncement expected from Kenyon
probably viii mean his resignation
from the bench.
Ia Toilette Clubs
Strength of the Independent move
ment is very evident in Iowa. Or
ganiZation is proceeding as rapidly
IS in any other State. not excluding
minnesota. The northern part Of
the State is said to be completely or
ganized with La Toilette clubs in
every town and township.
The State organization is financing
Itself, obtaining most Of its funds
from the sale Of La Toilette and
Wheeler emblems at 81 each. \
steady income Of more than $50
daily has been pouring into head
quarters for some weeks.
The regular Republican organiza-
. ton IS in a bad way. First. there
is the irregularity OF Senator Brook
hart nominated in the primaries
with the whole organization against
him. and having no contact what
ever with that organization now
sThen there IS the dispute over au-
thority between an advisory com
<mittee appointed by Chairman But
Z Ter, consisting of former National
Chairman John T. Adams, James
Good, former Congressman. now
resident Of Chicago and HanfOrd
i MacNider. former head Of the Amer
s<<Sza Legion. on the one hand and
ID a. Rawson. national com
f'Ir1tseman. and Bert Burnquist. State
chairman on the other.
Advice Not Welcome
1 Rawson and Burnguist have not
welcomed the advice Of the advis-
ory committee very heartily. For
example the latter two had worked
hard to keep Charles G. Dawes from
the State but the advisory Sommit-
tee have brought him in for a series
/ of speeches. Rawson and Burn
quist fear the worst.
Complaining the Republican
ltroubles still further, Luther A
Brewer. Cedar Rapids reactionary
/ publisher, has announced his hide
pendent candidacy for Senator
against Brookhart. The regular or
{ganization didn't want this. They
still had hope Of Brookhart remain
E ing silent about his friendship for
La Toilette until this happened. Now
they say Brookhart has been given
Hull justification for coming out
4openly against Coolidge

ANOTHER FRANKS
CASE FEARED BY
NEW YORK POLICE
City Searched for Boy, "A,
Missing From Home
Since Tuesday.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Sept 27-AIthough
romantic tales of travel visions Of
strange lands and storm-swept seas
may have taken Franklin Roshek,
14-year-old son Of wealth, from his
parents luxurious apartment in up
town New York, police today are
pointing to the similarity between
the boys continued absence and dis
appearance of Bobby Franks, Chi
cago boy murdered by Nathan Leo
pold Jr. and Richard Loeb.
The boy. whose father is the buy
er for a Western drygoods house,
has been missing since Tuesday.
A young hunchback hobo of OBJ
scure address, a street corner ac-
quaintance, built visions in Frank
Inns mind. took him to the foot of
Riverside DR., pointed to the ships
at anchor in the river and told him
Of Fairgrounds around the world
open only to the seafarer.
Left for School
This much has been learned from
Michael Levy, II, chum. who has
told Of Franklins acquaintance with
the hunchback. His parents. Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Roshek. have been
distracted since Tuesday. when the
boy left for schoo, and did not re-
turn In the evening.
My pet. my baby. Oh. my baby"
cries Mrs. Roshek.
How could he ever leave his
home? I have given him every
thing"
A glimpse Of the apartment and
one knows this is true. Only last
Sunday Franklin had birthday
and. having expressed an interest
in astronomy was given a telescope
that could hardly have cost less
than $3.50. He has an expensive
radio set. scores OF books and in his
room is a catcher's mask and a big
league glove and all sorts Of play
things that "Hunchback Reilly" as
the young Levy boy calls Frank
Inns newly found friend, could
never hope for.
When he left home Franklin had
so far as his father knows, only
$3.50 IN change. but he carried an
expensive gold watch. His clothes
were costly and we'll tailored.
Nationwide Search
For three days wharves. parks,
railway stations and even more re-
mote places have been secured and
no trace of the boy has been found.
His father has ordered a Nationwide
search.
kidnapping Is not suspected. be-
cause the boy left the apartment
without his schoolbooks. although
the mother had prepared them and
left them neatly piled on a table near
the door.
This points to n premeditated de-
parture. although the mother, almost
beside herself with grief and run
ming from room to room as though
she will find her boy hiding from
her in a childish prank, believes he
could not have gone of his own will.

COMMISSION TO. INVESTIGATE

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-The New York state athletic commission announced to- day 1t will conduct a private investiga- tion into charges of ticket speculation at the time of the Dempsey Firpo fight last fall. The charges swere made against Tex Rickard, promoter, by Tom O'Rouixe.

 The commission today took two titles out of cold storage. Joe Lynch, ban tamweight champion, and his manager, Eddie Mead, and Mickey Walkers man. ager, Jack Bulger, appeared before the commission on a summons. and 1t was agreed that both boxers would defend their titles Yin bouts suggested by the board.
 Lynch was signed to meet Abe Gold stein on March 21, while Bulger, acting for Walker, agreed to meet any lead ing welterweights suggested by the commission on or before May 5. The commission left the matter of sites to the principles and the interested pro- motors. Walkers suspension in New Jersey does not expire until April l, and for that reason he was given until May to defend his title.
