GREAT PROFITS MADE

CHICAGO, July 15.-Profits of
between $1.500,O00 and $780, 900
are estimated by brokers to have
been made by Arthur w. Cutten,
Chicago grain merchant, in a sale
of 800, 900 bushels of July corn at
around s110, in addition to large
profits on recent wheat advances of
from twenty to twenty-five cents a
bushel in the Chicago and Winnipeg
markets.
James A. Patten, whose attempts
to corner wheat, corn, oats, and
cotton have made him famous and
brought him fortunes, is also re-
ported to have reaped considerable
profits through recent disposal of
100000 bushels of oats purchased
in May when dealers predicted big
losses.

So Difficult John w. Davis
Calls in Leaders for
Consultation
FOREMOST PARTY CHIEFS

Conference
FOREMOST PARTY CHIEFS

NEW YORK, July 15.-Choice of
chairman for the National DEM
ocratic Committee which officer
also will be commander-in-ch chief of
the John w. Davis campaign for the
presidency-has become SO difficult
that Mr.. Davis today called in four
of the party's foremost leaders to
help him pick man for the post.
Back again at his temporary head
quarters in the New York City home
of Frank l.. Polk, the nominee held
a lengthy conference with Cordell
Hull, of Tennessee, present chairman
of the national committee: Norman
Mack, of New York; George White,
of Ohio, and Daniel c. Roper.
Many names were given lengthy
consideration, MIR. Davis reported
later, But no choice had been made,
he said, thus giving credence to per-
sistent reports that when the chair
manship is filled-probably by Fri
day-the new occupant will be a
dark horse" whose name has not
publicly appeared among the long
list of aspirants.
Permanent headquarters for Mr..
Davis were being prepared at the
Murray Till nOttl lOudys ici CSSo
pancy tomorrow. Frank Kent,
Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun, joined the nominee
staff. to assist him throughout the
campaign.
Among those who called upon Mr..
Davis at the Polk home were David
Hunter Miller, treasurer of the Nc
Adoo drive for the Democratic nom
Td I<in1hprl1nd.
New York and Wheeling, w. Va,
and Edward Anderson Alderman,
president of the University of Vir-
g.nia.
Mr.. Davis at the home of Frank
L. Polk indicated that he desired to
settle the Craftsmanship problem be-
fore Friday. 1t also appeared prob
able that neither Mr.. Polk. Glen
Shaver of Fairmont, w. Va, nor
others mentioned for the position
would be chosen.
IT am considering a number OF
persons" Mr.. Davis said. II have
not offered the chairmanship to any
body yet"
"How about Frank Polk?" he was
asked.
"Frank is a good man." he replied
1t was learned that Mr.. Polk, a
close friend and legal associate or
Mr.. Davis, although he will doubt
less take an active part in the cam
paign as member of an advisory
body yet to be formed. is not an
aspirant for the chairmanship of
the national committee.
Another object of the conferences
was to obtain information which Mr..
Davis expects to use in preparing his
notification speech during a ten-day
visit at the summer home of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson at
Islesboro, Me-, beginning next FRI
day.
The notification ceremonies will
take place at Clarksburg about Au-
gust 1 in the home in which Mr..
Davis lived as boy and which is
now occupied by sister.
Among those who conferred with
Mr.. Davis yesterday were Senator
Robert L. Owen, of Oklahoma; Gov
ernor M. e. Trap, of the same state;
Isadore B. Dockweiler, national com
mitteeman from California; Edmond
II. Moore, of Ohio; Titus Alexander
of Los Angeles. chairman of the
national negro Democratic associa-
ton; Norman II. Davis, former un-
der secretary of state, and Cordell

BY
DOUBT Of
STORY.
Sharp Tilt Occurs Between
Him and immigration
Inspector

The hot blood of Zerdecheno
Mohammed, the self-styled Emir
Of Kurdistan, got the better Of
him today when he "cussed out"
in colorful and picturesque Ian
guage, immigration Inspector VIII
liam Johnson. of the Department
of Labor, before whom he APP
peared in deportation proceedings.
Oriental explosives filled the
air, sheik-like rage vibrating from
the tips of his pointed mustache
when Inspector Johnson ques-
toned the veracity Of statements
he had made on his diplomatic
passport"
Relations More Than Strained.
The Emir passed sharp and
ugly word to the inspector; the
inspector made a stiff American
retort, and it took the consolidated
efforts of Abner Siegal, the Emir's
attorney, and court attaches to re-
store peace to the atmosphere Of
the hearings.
The hasty journey which Zerdeche-
no made from London to, Angorn,
Turkey, last summer as the ''of.
fetal guest" of the Turkish gov
eminent is the source OF much
curiosity to immigration bureau OF.
ficials. The bureau claims he was
deported, but the Emir denies the
charge and he further says thar
his status as an official guest"
entities him to the rank of diplo-
mat and to use a diplomatic pass
port which exempts him from the
ordinary immigration regulations.
This is the question at issue upon
which a hearing was granted today
and which will be reviewed by De-
partment Of Labor Board before the
final decision is made as to whether
or not the Emir Of Kurdistan should
be deported.s
The hearing granted the "Emir"
today was short and sharp, and the
Department Of Labor expects to
close the case in the near future.

ADVOCATES
BROADER
STREETS
D. c. Expert Sees Wide High
ways as Solution of Park
ing Problem

The parking problem here can
only be solved by the widening
of streets in the downtown Soc
ton. Such is the opinion of
Major William H. Holcombe, chair
man Of the District Traffic Board,
recently ordered to survey park
ing conditions and report to the
Commissioners.
Opposes Garage Idea.
Major Holcombe vigorously op-
poses the proposition for munich
pal garage and city parking stations
because of the prohibitive initial
and upkeep cost.
He pointed out that if all narrow
streets in the congested area were
widened, the capacity of the streets
for parking purposes would be
doubled through the substitution of
angle for parallel parking.
The Commissioners have already
announced public hearing for Sep
TENDER 5 to discuss with the public
proposals to widen five streets in
Washington.
Major Holcombe has given his
views to the District Commission
/ ers and it is understood they con-
cur with him.
The garage proposal is not prac-
teal, he says.
at would cost $500, 900 to build
a garage" he pointed out. ut would
only care for 500 cars. The cost
of upkeep would be so great that
1t would be necessary to charge
motorists so cents a day for park
| ing. I do not believe they would
pay this amount"
Major Holcombe said local ga
rage men report that their ga
| RACES are now only half filled.
Station Plan Impractical.
He also said that the cost of
municipal parking stations would
| be too high to be practical.
Figures prepared by engineer Of
ficials OF the District show an esti
mated total cost of $4,000 for
widening of the five streets. They
follow: M street northwest, Twenty.
ninth to Thirty fifth street, widen
ten feet, $95, 1000; Tenth street north.
west, F street to Massachusetts
avenue, widen eighteen feet, 100000
Eleventh street northwest, e to @
streets, widen fifteen feet, $50, 900
Bladensburg road northeast, H to L
streets, widen twenty feet, $50, 900;
and K street northwest, Fourteenth
to Sixteenth street, widen forty.
eight street, $82, 900.

STAND BY

By DR.. Frank Crane
a BOUT all we can do is to Stand BY.
~ We cannot ready do anything for
anybody, even for those we love most,
except to Stand By.
Your child has to make his own mistakes,
accumulate his own working store of eXpe-
rience, glimpse his own visions, fight MS
own inner battles, and find his own God.
We may yearn to do these things for him
We may break our hearts trying. We can
not do it. But we can Stand By
That is, we can arrange circumstances
provide advantages, warn him of dangers,
show him the right goals, love him, and
be a friend to him, but in the arena where
manhood is made he will have to do his
own wrestling.
Your final good to your friends consists
only in this-that you Stand By. 1t is not
money, nor food nor medicine they want, in
the deep souls of them, but to feel your
presence.
In it's grip with the inner Phiistines Of
life, in the war with the Hivites, the Jebu-
Sites and the Perizzites, the soul is always
alone, must keep its own watch, strike its
own blows, see its own visions. All we can
do is to signal them, from our own watch
tower, the message, "Im with you"
This comes poignantly home to us when
one we love is i'll. We watch and we
can pray, we can hold her hand and stroke
her brow, while the physician fights the
vicious microbes. But-though we may long
TO throttle the fever with angry hands, to
reach in and cleanse the clogged veins, or
set the jangling nerves in tune, we cannot
We can only Stand By.
Even when the last redoubt Of life IS
stormed, and our beloved stumbles in the
last ditch. and death triumphs, we are how
pitiably helpless. She must go alone into
that thick darkness while we Stand By.
And yet how good it is to know you are
Standing By. After ALL my friend, it is
what 1 most ask of you.
This world says Goeth, "is so waste
and empty, when we figure but towns and
cities and rivers in it, but to know that
some one is living on with US, even in 81
lenca; this makes our earthly ball a peo-
pied garden"
When the little boy is afraid of the dark
in his bedroom you can 90 in and hold his
hand; it seems nothing; it is the riche6t
gift you can make him, the gift of yourself
And when in maturer days we are plunged
into the hell of failure, God bless the friend
who just-Stands BY!
The glory of a woman is that when up
come the wolves Of poverty, SANDER, or
danger. and our souls melt in fear, she,
smiling and unafraid-Stands BY.
