SLEMP MAY RUN
IF DENIED PLUM
Friend Says Presidents Ex-
Secretary Could Return
Ninth District to G. 0.P.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star
RICHMOND, Va, March There
is just one thing that will prevent
the Republicans of the ninth district
from forcing G. Bascom Slemp to the
fore again as a candidate for Con-
gress. A close friend of his says that
II President Coolidge fails TO give
him a post of some Importance and
dignity within the next year he will
be made to accept the nomination.
Mr.. Slemp has remarkable hold
on the people of that section of the
state" said the friend, and can re-
turn the ninth district to the Re-
publican column"
All three Of the candidates for Gov
ernor of Virginia have reached the
stage of waiting /. to see what the
others are going to do and say in
the opening speeches of the campaign.
The general understanding was that
the aspirants would be on the hust-
lnss and telling the people of the
state exactly why they should be
nominated long before this, but after
they had issued platforms or prelim-
mary addresses they suddenly became
silent to await reaction. Statements
were made last Winter that the
speaking campaigns would be under
way during the early part of this
year, and two and half months
have about passed and the first
speech is yet to be made bearing di-
rectly on the campaign, and they are
apparently in no great hurry to start
the work that will keep them going
Tor the next five months.
Two Remain NOn-COmmittaI.
Former Gov. Westmoreland Davis of
Loudoun and former Senator Don p.
Halsey of Lynchburg, who have been re-
ported as more or less in receptive mood
regarding the nomination, have declined
10 make any statement of their actual
intentions. Gov. Davis admirers have
been urging him to again offer for the
nomination, but If he has reached a
conclusion as TO his intentions he has
not given an intimation of the same.
This Is true OF Senator Halsey, who
was first supposed to be a candidate
for lieutenant governor but said that
II he made the race for any Office
he would aspire to the office of gov
ernor
Mrs. Sarah Lee Fain of Norfolk.
VINO served as Il member of the last
House, has been asked to make the
race for lieutenant governor. and she
has had the matter under considera-
ton, but no declaration has been
made by her as to whether she will
offer for that position or again seek
place on the floor of the House
of Delegates.

HISTORY OF CONTROVERSY.
Plebiscite Planned After Is Years
of Commission.

The iron and steel industries of
Lorraine are largely dependent upon
the rich deposits of the neighboring
Saar Valley, a small basin between
the present frontiers of France and
Germany. Under German control the
two regions were developed together.
When France regained Lorraine in
the World War she also demanded
the Sarr in order that Lorraine might
not be deprived Of fuel; she claimed
the Saar was really French territory.
The demand was not granted, but at
the peace conference a compromise
was reached.
The government of France was
given title to the coal mines of the
Saar as settlement for French mines
ruined by Germany. The Saar was
nut for Is years under governing
commission to be appointed by the
League of Nations. In 1885 plebi-
settle was to decide whether the ter
ritory would belong to Germany or
France or would remain under League
of Nations control.
Can Buy Back Mines.
If the Saarlanders should elect to
raturn to Germany, the Reich was
assured the privilege of buying back the
mines for a sum in gold to be nxed
by an expert commission.
From the first France has dominated
the governing commission. Quarter
ing of French troops In the territory
as international gendarmerie,' cur
tailment of the right Of free speech,
efforts to "F'renchify" the children by
French schools, and obstruction OF
economic relations with Germany have
been causes of frequent protest, es-
pecially by Britain.
The Saar is a region Of only about
$50 square miles. 1t has popula-
ton exceeding 100000. mostly miners
and industrial workers. Its annual
production of coal before the war
averaged 100000 tons, about so per
cent of which was consumed by local
industries. 1t is capable of produc-
ing much more coal.
The region WAS made part OF France

" Process verbauX of all meetings
of the governing commission were
promptly sent to this office in Paris
where they were available to the de-
partm of the French government.
1t is needless to say that the presi-
dent of the commission regarded this
secret service as his and all informa-
ton sent and received as confidential.
Just before 1 left the Saar, the
council of the league gave instruc-
lions that the governing commission
must take its instructions from the
council and that communications be-
tween the governing commission and
the French government, or vice versa,
be through the commission and not
through its French president

ADJUSTMENTS

THE GYPSY" a four act comedy
drama was the attraction at the Coli
scum last evening. The Henry Garlic
ton Player have given many per-
formances, but last nights effort was
one that calls for many words of
commentator. The play IS one that
holds the audience easily through the
four acts with love. intrigue and de-
lightful comedy intermingling. Miss
Peggy Martin in the role of the gyp-
sy, was happily cast in a role that in
less experienced and talented hands
would have been ordinary but Miss
Martin, true to tradition makes the
gypsy the harum scarum madcap she
should be and at times brings tear
to the eye by her charming simplicity
and earnestness. Mr.. Lloyd and Miss
Mayo are happily paired off in the
Lillian Veille, who can't agree on the
decorations of their new home-after
they marry. Mr.. Herbert as the
scheming doctor who knows the Sc
cret of the gypsy's parents is the cool
calculating scoundrel s-nd is ably as
sisted by Henry M. Ross as his
equally villianous son. Miss Sarah
Kyles as Geraldine veille in love
with Lawrence Thornton Is happily
cast in the jealous girl. and Charles
Mcdonald is the same manly sin
cere lover of the gypsy. Mr.. Nc
Donald is surely pleasing Gardiner
folks in his natural way and they
have taken him into their hearts as
man worthy of their respect and es-
TEEN. Mr.. Carleton Is seen In the
role Of Judge Howell. We always
get a good performance from Mr.
Carleton and last night was not an
exception. From high comical scenes
he carries his audience to deep pa
thos and is equally convincing in
both. '"The Gypsy" will be repeated
this evening. The songs of Mr. Lloyd
and Mr.. Kearney We're excellently
done and appreciated encores being
in order

Fear Air Mail
Pilot Missing Four
DAYS Has Perished

Bellefonte, Pa, Oct. 5.-(AP)-
Hope that Charles ii. Ames. air man
pilot missing since last Thursday
night would be found alive, began
TO wane tonight when darkness
brought to an end another days
fruitiess search.
That hope was not entirely aban-
doned, however, when seen in the
announcement by Carl +. Egge,
general superintendent of the air
mail service, that four veteran fiiers
who are familiar with the noun
famous country in which Ames Is
believed to have been lost, have been
ordered here from Chicago to join
the big squad of planes that has
been vainly hunting for the missing
pilot for four days. They will ar
rive tomorrow.
Ten planes today flew a total OF
5000 miles over the mountain peaks
and ravines of Clarion and Venango
counties without finding a trace of
Ames or his machine, The theory
that he was forced down between
Hartleton. 20 miles east of here, and
the local landing field practically has
been abandoned, although some vol
unteers on foot and, in motor cars,
continued to comb that section to-
day. Air mail service officials be-
iieve he lost his bearings before
passing here, missed the Bellefonte
landing field and later was forced to
land because of fuel shortage.
Working on this theory, all the
planes today concentrated their eff
forts in flying low over the rugged
country to the west of Clarion. The
search will be continued in that sec
ton tomorrow, superintendent Egge
declaring that he was not satisfied
that all the territory had been COW
cred.
Mr.. Egge has sent a man to
Huntington to investigate the report
that coon hunters had heard terrif-
ic crash on Stone Mountain Thurs
day night which Huntington officials
believe may have been Ames' plane.
He had not had a report from this
man late tonight.
Late tonight Superintendent Egge
received a report from Assistant
Division Superintendent III. b. Shaw
er, in charge of the search at Clar-
ion, that he was convinced Ames had
come down in that vicinity. Shaver
said he had found FIVE persons who
had seen an airrlane cruising about
west of Clarion, about / AS O'Clock
Friday morning with landing lights
turning. This would indicate, tJr.
Egge said, that the pilot had ex-
hausted his supply of gasoline and
that the plane probably had crashed
to earth before he could find a safe
landing place.
