SUPPORT is LACKING.
Wilcox Says He Was Left to Make
Race Alone.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, september -
(P)-Edward r. Dithmar OF Baraboo,
q former lieutenant governor, stood
TONIGHT as the anti-Lafollette Repup-
lican candidate in the race Tor the
United States senatorShlp IN NiScoii-
sin. He emerged alone from group
of Republicans who filed as lndepehu-
ents when Roy p. Wilcox, defeated IN
the urinary for the Republican nom-
nation by Robert NJ. La Follette, Jr.'
withdrew from the race.
Notified that Withdrawals would not
he permitted after noon today, VIII
COX sent his declination as an lnde-
pendent candidate to Secretary OF
state Zimmerman at Madison just n
few minutes before the closing hour.
| This was followed by a statement
from him citing lack of support by the
Republican national committee, Sen
ator Irving l.. Lenroot of Wisconsin
and the faction of the Republlcan
party which unanimously 1ndorsed
him at a convention at Oshkosh DUR
ing August as the reason why he
could not continue in the race
Left to Fight Alone.
"I am left to fight alone, not only
Mr.. La Toilette, but Mr.. Dithmar,
Wilcox said.
WiIcox's withdrawal leaves in add1-
ton to La Toilette and Dithmar, John
M. Work, Socialist nominee; George
Rauman. Socialist-Labor nominee, and
William George Bruce, in the race
Bruce received a majority of votes In
the Democratic primary, Dut not
enough to go into the special eiectlon
as the party's nominee.
Wilcox, in his statement, told or the
conferences that followed the primary
and of a message received from Sena-
for I,enroot in answer to messag ges
sent to the Senator and to William
NJ. Butler. chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee, asking as
sistance.
The statement continued: The fol-
lowing message was received from
Senator Lenroot: Butler in Mas
sachuSettS and chairman OF Senatorlal
committee in Kansas. Am taking up
with others but have no hope OF ac-
ton in view of their attitude before
the primary. My judgment Wilcox
remaining in the field will only result
in larger victory for the opposition.
Believe Wilcox should let Dithmar
try, in view of the poor showing in
the primary
No Further Support.
Later, the statement said, the con-
ferees decided they would not further
support Wilcox.
MY personal campaign committee,
and myself believe that the principal
fight was in the primary, expended
within a few dollars of the total
amount we are permitted by law to
spend Without financial resources
and without help, it would be hopeless
for me TO continue to fight Mr.. Lafol-
lette and Mr.. Dithmar, and ] have
filed my declination for the independ-
ent nomination for United States Sen,
ator."

whom are committed to prohibition

whom are committed to prohibition
and its enforcement, TO permit an IN
derling to send out a covert attack on,
prohibition. intimating that it is a
failure and insinuating that it has
failed to do any Of the things which
every church represented by the coun-
Gil claims prohibition had done.
THE Methodists have been main
supporters of the Federal Council be-
cause there are things which we can
do through that body better than we
can do denominationally, but neither
the Methodists, the Presbyterians. the
Baptists, nor any other body of Chris
tians has ever authorized the Federal
Council to speak for us on prohibition.
Therefore any statement sent out
by the council without our knowledge
or consent is not authoritative, does
not represent Federal Council action
nor the will and purpose of any one
of the churches which support said
council, and 1t is unfortunate that a
very young and inexperienced man
should send out a document in the
name of all the churches of Christ
in America, which is a partisan, COW
ert attack on a great experiment in
government for which those churches
made sacrifices, paid the bills of their
campaigns and were never more COM
mitted to the policy than now.
A Partisan Statement.
'I am connected with the temper
ance department Of the Federal coun-
Gil and not only have not been asked
for any opinion or information, but
never dreamed that such a thing as
the investigation of prohibition was
going on. I have seen the documents
sent out to all the newspaper offices
and it is simply a partisan statement
copyrighted by the Rev. f. Ernest
Johnson, and represents his opinion
alone.

The junior high schools are ex
pected to show material gains in en-
rollment this year. partly as a result
of the policy of the board of education
to transfer entire seventh and eighth
grade classes from the elementary
schools in carrying out the program
which ultimately will lead to a com
plete 6-33 system of operation for
the District schools. Columbia Junior

plete classes of the Thomson School

The jefferson, Southwest'S only
white junior high school, has been al
lotted three portables to accommodate

east Washington, will use d portable

occupy four rooms in the Wallach
School, nearby.
Two New Features.
Opening of the new school term will
be marked by the introduction of two
distinct innovations, with another in
the offing. First, a demonstration
school, the only one of its type in the
District, will be opened at the Thorn
son Building. Here all the newest
methods and procedure of educational
practice will be experimental with by
a group of specially selected teachers.
The other new feature concerns the
standard intelligence tests which will
be given to all pupils this year under
the direction of Miss Jessie La Sale,
assistant superintendent in charge of
educational research and measure
ment. The tests were confined last
year to one small division.
Soon after the opening of school, the
third innovation, a combined physical
and military training course for the
boys of the junior high schools, will
be added to the curriculum. A special
committee appointed by Supt. Frank
w. Ballou is now formulating the
course.

NEW YORK. September 19.-An
outbreak of hatchet warfare among
tong warriors was fearel by the police
today, while Chinese leaders endeaV-
ored to bring about permanent peace
between the rival tongs and Federal
authorities continued their vigilance
in Chinatown.
An aftermath of the concerted raids
last night by 100 city detectives and
80 Federal agents was the order today
for the deportation of 72 more Chi.
nese, bringing the total number of
Chinese held for deportation to 265.
Many Discharged.

The raiders discovered evidence in
dicating that the tongmen were re-
verting to the hatchet, a weapon
dreaded by Chinese more than fire
arms. In recent years the orientals
used pistols, usually automatics of the
latest type. and the killing of Yung
Sue Gum in full sight of a bus load of
Chinatown sightSeerS yesterday was
done with revolver.
Federal agents reported that while
they were entering Hip Sing head
quarters in Pell street during the raids

The seized hatchets are believed to
have been made in China especially for
man killing. They are double-edged,
nearly a foot long. have razorlike cut
ting edges and 312 inches wide at one
end and about at the other.
Jung Fung, 80, suspected of the
murder of Gum, was arraigned in
Tombs Court today. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Dalton said an indict-
ment would be sought Monday and
asked for an adjournment until next
Wednesday. 1t was granted and the
prisoner was committed to the TombS
without bail
Capt. John Archipoli, in charge of
the Chinatown details, said the On

Pa, near Pittsburgh, by a Hip Sing

be an On Leong. In order to avenge
the family honor 1t is believed a Hip
Sing was selected for revenge.

raids in the Chinese section in quest
of aliens illegally in the country and
