PETITIONS FILED.
Efforts to Find Interests Behind
Boom Fruitless.

oOoH
BY the Associated Press
LANSING, Mich, August 9.-Henry
Ford became an involuntary candidate
for the Republican nomination for
United States Senator when petitions,
containing sufficient signatures to place
his name on the primary ballot Sep
tember 9. were field with the secre-
tary of State today.
The petitions were filed shortly before
the time limit for filing expired at 4
o'clock this afternoon.
The Fordfor-Senator boom was
consent or knowledge, and his name
will go on the ballot unless he requests
its withdrawal
Although his close associates have
termed the move absurd" it is con-
sidered likely he will follow his course
in previous elections and ignore the
filing entirely. Efforts to ascertain
what interests were behind the Ford
boom have been fruitless.
The petitions filed today were
brought to the secretary of States
office by Peter Pagan, secretary of the
Public Utilities Commission. He de-
clined to throw any light on the move
ment. His chief William A. Potter,
chairman Of the commission, is a
candidate for the Republican guber-
material nomination.
The projection of Henry Ford's name
into the senatorial lists further COM
plicates an already muddy situation. 1t
will bring him in opposition to his for
mer business associate, Senator James
Couzens. who also qualified for place
on the Republican senatorial ballot.
Besides Couzens and Ford, three other
candidates qualified - Federal Judge
Arthur J. Tuttle of Detroit, Hal H.
Smith, Detroit, and Daniel w. Tussing
Of Lansing, said to have the support of
the Ku Klux Klan. The Democratic
candidate for the senatorial nomina-
ton, Dean Mortimer E. Cooley Of the
University of Michigan, will go into the
primary unopposed.

DAVIS LAUDS HOME
AS STRENGTH G|VER
Big West Virginia Greeting
Declared Heartening as
Campaign Is Near.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CLARKSBURG, w. Va. August g.
John w. Davis was back home to-
night to receive official notification
of his nomination as the Democra tic
presidential candidate and to seek
from his friends and neighbors
strength and encouragement for the
task that lies ahead
Crossing the West Virginia line
his first welcome at Grafton, his off,
cial reception here. in the place where
he was born, and his second home
coming tonight at Fairmont, the rock
of his early political strength and the
home of his field marshal, Glenn l..
Shaver
Addressing his friends and reigh-
bors from the veranda of his old
home, Mr.. Davis assured them that
it was neither by accident nor by ca
price, nor without forethought, that
in this crisis of his life he had re-
turned home for strength, for sym-
pathy. fer encouragement and for
support.
In the presence of this welcome
in sight of these familiar faces, my
heart goes out of me-" he said. Il
must wait to speak until it comes
back.
There is an old fable of the mytho-
logical giant, the son of Mother Earth,
whose strength was as the strength
of 10 when on the earth. Lifted
above the earth. his power fell from
him, and it did not return until once
more he had reached the earth.
Such is the sentiment that inspires
me now.
1T is not by accident, nor bv mere
caprice, nor without thought, that at
this crisis in my life / have come
back here for strength, for sympathy
for encouragement and for support.
Heartened for Task.
Your presence, and in such great
numbers and with such smiling faces
assures me that I have not come in
vain. L shall leave you strer gthened
and heartened for the heavy task that
lies ahead.
1T is not easy to transplant a tree
that has had from 40 to so years of
growth. 1t is not possible to trans
plant memories, traditions and friend
ships that have come to one who lived
As years in a single spot.
Although fate has made me a
waEderer here and there over the
earth, you. not I. are responsible for
that You, IA years ago, called me
from the practice here / was enjoy
ing and made me that wanderer on
the face of the earth. But / never
have cut the ties of affection that
bind me to Clarksburg, to West vir-
ginia and their citizens. Never, even
in thought or speech. has home meant
anything other than this spot.
Forgive me if 1 say no more Out
of the fullness of the heart the mouth
may wish to speak without finding
words. But Mrs. Davis and myself
thank you for this welcome. We bow
before you in gratitude and our
hearts are very full
Greeting Mt Grafton.

PATROL WILL STAY
WITH ARMY FLYERS
Ships to Stand BY Until Trip
Is Resumed or Definitely
Abandoned.

Rear Admiral Thomas P. Magruder
and his fleet of patrol vessels will re-
main in the North Atlantic Ocean
until the Army world flyers reach
American territory. or the flight is
definitely abandoned.
This announcement was made by
Navy Department officials last night
in reply to inquiries as to how long
the naval vessels will remain in the
vicinity of Iceland, Greenland and the
coast of Labrador
1t was pointed out that officials ex-
pect the flight to hop off within a few
days, and that nobody in the Navy
Department expects it to be aban-
doned. Unless ice conditions clear
up on the east coast of Greenland, it
is expected the two remaining planes
will attempt fight direct to Cape
Farewell and around its tip into open
water on the west side, "a distance
of something more than 75e miles.
Worried Over Fuel.
The only thing that is worrying
Navy Department officials is the fact
that the cruisers and destroyers nat
urally cannot remain indefinitely at
sea without refueling, and when Ad-
miral Magruder received his orders
he expected to be back in American
waters before the scout cruisers re-
quired additional fuel
The destroyers must refuel oftener
than the cruisers, and the plan is to
have them receive fuel from the three
cruisers when their supply runs low.
The destroyers also can receive other
supplies from the cruisers to assist
them for reasonable length of time.
Officials of the Navy Department
made it perfectly clear that the Navy
has no idea of leaving the world
flyers in Iceland. In fact, the Nayv
is on the job to help the flight across
the Atlantic, and that is what it pro-
poses to do, just as it has done in
other parts of the world.

100. Ii | $. SAILORS
 LANDED ATCEIBA

American Lives And Flag Threatened, Captain
 Declares
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-A land ing force of 100 sailors from the light cruiser Rochester was put ashore to- day at Ceiba, Honduras, and the ship is proceeding to Tela to act as guard for the American consulate there.
 A dispatch announcing the landing was sent by Captain Hayne Ellis com manding the Rochester explaining that American and foreign lives had been threatened. .
 Captain Ellis whose message was considerably garbled, also reported that strong force of rebels was ad- vancing to capture towns on the north coast and that the provisional govern ment of Honduras apparently because of munitions shortage was able to offer but little resistance. It also was stated that some danger to foreign interests was expected as result of disorder brought about by the changing of local government officials.
 The American landing force, Captain Ellis said, would be withdrawn as quickly as the situation permitted.

(By Associated Press.)

SHANGHAI, Sept. 10.-Renewed rainfall tonight indicated almost with out doubt. that further firing along the whole front of the Chinese civil war would be postponed until the skies cleared.
 That it will mean merely cessation of firing instead of stopping of hos tilities, however, was indicated by def mite reports that both. sides in the struggle for possession of this rich port were strengthening their positioH pushing additional troops and ammF d- tion to the battle fronts. (T
 Active fighting in the Liuho 7 rtor on the coast northwest of the city was virtually stopped tonight. com petent observer who visited the front there reported.
 Lu Claims Gains.
 Headquarters of Gen. Lu Yung- Hsiang, whose armies are defending Shanghai, tonight claimed that gains in the railway sector west of the city in the direction of Quinsan had been made this afternoon.
 Reporting on the fighting west of Taihu (Tai Lake), General Lu's head quarters asserted that his Choking troops under Gen. Chen Yao-San still were advancing northward toward their objective, the city of Changchow key position on the Shanghai-Nan king railway and the Grand Canal.
 Headquarters admitted great concern over the activities of supposed spies among the hordes of refugees that have crowded into the city from the fighting and conscription area. Drastic regu- lations have been promulgated to pre- vent information of value falling into the hands of such spies.
 Women Reported Active.
 UncOnfirmed reports have been re- ceived, it was said at Lungwha, that feminine supporters of the Kiangsu armies seeking to capture Shanghai have been sent to the city to assist the Kiangsu cause by propaganda or l otherwise Another unconfirmed report con- tained the information that two divi- sions, or about 10000 men, had been despatched from Ranking by Feng Yu- Hsiang (the Christian generaD to the | fighting zone to aid the Kiangsu troops of Gen.

DOWNTOWN SITES BRING sl6O,OOO TN ACTIVE MART
Corners At First And Eighteenth And Third
 And 14th Involved

Exceptional strength of September's real estate market was again in marked evidence Wednesday when, among the numerous transactions, two valuable pieces of downtown property changed hands at figure near $160,000.
 Important in the days trading was the sale of the northeast corner of First avenue and Eighteenth street re- ported through Meyer & Engel. This property was purchased by Albert Lee Smith and associates from Dr. B. q. Baldwin of Montgomery at price of approximately $125,0 ,000 The sum in yolxed sets high front foot mark of $2,500 for recent dealings and further stresses the rapid enhancement of Birmingham. realty values.
 ] A second transfer of interest was the closing of negotiations for the southeast corner of Third avenue and Fourteenth street for -35,000, sold by the B. NJ. Allen estate to Roderick Beddow through the firm of Moseley, Henderson and Davis.
 Possibilities of viaduct at Eigh- teenth street and the gradual expan- sion of the retail district westward which is expected to be brought out vividly in developments to be an- nounced soon, are seen as the leading factors in the sale of the Baldwin prop erty, a site held by the former owner for 25 years. The corner measures 30 feet on first with 140-foOt depth ex- tending to the alley and is improved by a large two-story business block. Negotiations for the transfer were car ried on by D. S.. Meyer and T. S. Wood of the Meyer and Engel agency.
 That the grade crossing elimination program may extend to Fourteenth street is also seen as guiding spirit in the exchange of the corner at Third avenue and property in this section has been exceedingly active of late. The piece runs 100 by 14O feet on Fourteenth street and contains busi- ness block. H.. M. Davis engineered the sale of the site.

POPE INTERVIEWS
 N.ITALIAN POLITICS
Maintains Right To Act When
 Church Is Involved

ROME, Sept. 1O.-The Roman press unites in emphasizing the importance of the declaration of the pope that the vatican and the church are in duty bound to exert their influence on poli- tics when politics involve religious mat terS.
 The newspapers point out that his holiness usually speaks only in general terms on such subjects, but that in ad- dressing the Catholic University fedora tion Tuesday he went so far as to quote the criticism of the vatican which Cath Olics have raised by virtue of "jus murmurandi."
 This fact, it is declared, shows that the situation of Italian Catholics in po- litical life is con confused as to warrant the direction and intervention of the pope. It was made plain Wednesday that the pope's words had direct refer ence only to politics in Italy.
