 Bowles' Campaigning

Springfield, Mass, Sept. 28 Pl-- Today marked the close of the cam-
 paign of Henry l.. Bowles of this city, republican. and Representative
 Roland D. Sawyer of Ware. demo-
 crat. for election to congress from the second district to succeed the late George B. Churchill of Amherst.
 The campaign has been rather bare of high lights, though Mir.
 Sawyer has conducted speaking tour of the district. MT. Bowles has spoken little but workers in his be- half have made a careful canvass.
 Mir. Sawyer in a statement last night conceded the election of his oppon- ent but indicated that he would not on that account abandon his efforts. Mir. Bowlcs' supporters have argued that his defeat or election by small lead would be construed by the country at large as lukewarmness to-
 ward the administrations policies in the home district of President Coo- llidgc. A small vote tomorrow is in dicatcd.

 Mme. Casares, divorced wife of a wealthy Argentine and formerly a British film actress, has announced that she merely leased her ship to others and had nothing to do with the cargo or the rum running scheme which came to naught re- gently when l controversy arose over the payment of the crew.
 While the General Serrett has fre- quently been referred 10 as rum runner" it is stated that the vessel never actually made trip with whiskey and that this was 10 have been her first.
 Her packers planned that she sail ostensibly for Halifax and unload her cargo outside the 12-mile limit off the American coast upon some real rum runner which would pay cash and take changes on delivering the wet goods in the United States.

Transportation Act
 Changes Are Urged

Washington, Sept. 2S R-Amend- ment of the transportation act to fla cilitate railroad consolidation and to set up a new system of settling labor disputes was advocated today by Samuel Req, retiring president of the Pennsylvania railroad. during a con- ference with President Coolidge.
 The law at present is unsatisfac- tory. in his opinion, because it seeks to give the interstate commerce com mission the authority to formulate consolidation schemes. Practically all railroads of the country. he said, are getting on a satisfactory financial basis and if given freer latitude in effecting voluntary consultations would have at their disposal more money for new line construction and improvement.

 Tho government charges that the court erred in Its rulings holding the Sinclair contracts for the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve valid, and that 1t erred in holding the question of validity of the presidential order of May Sl, 1921, to be immaterial and that the lease would have been valid without the order. It expects also a ruling that there was no fraud in the executive order.
 The government excepts to the courts finding that no fraud was committed in negotiating the lease or the supplemental agreement. It excepts to the courts ruling that AL bert B, Fall, then secretary of the interior, and Harry r. Sinclair dld not conspire 10 defraud the United States by the lease or the supplement. tai agreement. ..
 It excepts further to tho finding that the negotiation of the lease was not a private or secret agreement between Fall and Sinclair, and was not attended by undue and unlaw- full secrecy.
 It charges error in the courts rul- ing that Edwin B, Denby, then sec- retary of the navy, was authorized under the law to award the lease without advertising and obtaining competitive bidding; also that no other bidder stood ready to obtain any lease on the lands In contro- versy. and hence that none was de- nied an opportunity to bid.
 The courts ruling that disposal Of royalty oil was exchange and not sale, is assigned as error, as it is the ruling that neither the lease nor the supplemental agreement was in any wise fraudVlent, illegal, nor void, but that they were valid and binding instruments. duly and law fully executed on behalf of the Unit ed States.

BANKERS FACING
 FIGHT ON POLICY
Attitude on Federal Reserve
 System Is Big Issue

Atlantic City, N. J.. Sept. 2S lP,- The American Bankers association opened its 61st annual convention here today with the prospetc of an open fight over the declaration of policy outlining the association's at titude toward the federal reserve system.
 The opening gun was fired by Ed gar l.. Mattson of Minneapolis, who pleaded. in an address before the national bank division, of which he Is president, for a perpetuation of the federal reserve system substan- tially In its present basic form. Tho meeting was one of a series of di- vislonal conferences called primarily for the discussion of special prob- lems, preliminary to the general sea- sions of the convention, which open tomorrow and continue through Thursday.
 Expressing the belief that a downward revision of taxes is as- sured at the coming session of con- gress. Representative John Q. Tilson of Connecticut, the new republican floor leader told the national bank division that In his judgment the permanent peacetime maximum rates should not exceed 15 per cent. Tt is my belief" he said, that with such a rate in force the increase in total amount of income returned for taxation will alone make good the initial loss of revenue, to say nothing of the tremendous indirect effect"
 Features of the present bill which he said should be eliminated were the inheritance tax. the gift tax, the amusement tax, and the "Peeping Tom" publicity amendment to the income tax law. The surplus of rev enues above necessary expenditures. he explained is what makes 1t at all possible at this time to reduce taxes, hut there Is not real surplus in the treasury.
 If there were an actual surplus in the federal treasury" he declared, "a special edition of the Lords pray CT ought to be gotten out for the use of congress and of the executive de- partments. printing in large red let ters the line of that wonderful pray CT which says: Lead us not into temptation"
 Alvin P. Howard, New Orleans. retiring president of the savings bank division said that savings de- posits had increased from $20,S44,- 100000 to s22,9S4,0 1000 in the last year and the number of depostors from SSo0o,O0o to 3o.700.000. Other speakers at this meeting were Kent M. Andrew, Laporte. Ind, who urg- ed that recognition be given by banks to changes in public fancy in selecting their Investments and Frank r. Bennett, Jr., of Boston, who urged stricter supervision of building and loan associations.

VALVE COVERS ON
 DIRlG|BLE REMOVED
Further Testimony Into COndi-
 ton Of Shenandoah Gas Cells

Lakehurst, N, J., Sept. 2s Rl-All covers on the automatic heium valves on the alrship Shenandoah were removed on the first rapid as- cent in the storm on September 8, Lieutenant Roland G. Mayer. con- struction officer on board. testified today before the naval court of in- quiry.
 The officer said he. personally re- moved the covers from two of the valves and ordered those on two others removed. The other valves were uncovered before the ship fit Lakehurst.
 Lieutenant Mayer denied that tho purpose of the covers was to prevent the escape of helium gas: that their function was to prevent the gas bags sucking in air.
 Rapid Rises Told
 The rate of the rise of the Shen- andoah on the first uncontrolled flight was not as rapid as the ship had gone up on three occasions in other flights, Mayer said. On the trip to the Pacific coast the craft went up 400 feet at three times the rate of the September rise and again in a line squall off the New Jersey coast, she arose twice at the rate of more than three meters per second.
 Lieutenant Mayer said that the first sound of failure he heard was on the down drop after the ship had reached the extreme altitude. He heard wires snapping but could not identify where they were at that time the ship had been pitching and tossing for 10 minutes.
 When the ship was falling the cells cupped and Tapped, the officer said, and this fact probably led some of the crew to believe the cells had failed.
 "That was my first thought" May CT testified, 'but later I scrutinized the one over my head carefully and found that 1t was S5 per cent full"
 Progressive Breakup
 There was a progressive breaking up of the ship. the officer declared. Soon after the sound of snapplng wires there was a sound of an en- zine car breaking away. Then the ship went to pieces rapidly, the hull breaking and control car giving way.
 Questioned by Rear Admiral Hil- ary P. Jones, president of the court, Lieutenant Mayer said that on the Pacific coast flight the Shenandoah had her original valve system of IS automatic valves, When she took the sudden ascent, however. all ex- cept four of the valves were covered.
 The officer said the Shenandoah had made 10 flights before Septem- Der ? with the new and reduced valve system.
 Did she encounter any rough weather?" asked Admiral Jones'
 "The Shenandoah seldom made a flight that she did not encounter strong head winds and rough gales" Lieutenant Mayer replied. "Onco when we were returning from man euvers we had to run through a line

The Biggest Leased Wire System in the World
What the ASSOCIATED PRESS IS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS is an association of persons represent ing more than 1900 morning, eve ming and Sunday newspapers scattered throughout the United States, Alaska, Cuba, Costa Rica, Mexico, Hawaii, Philippines, Porto Rico, and Central and South America.
 Its sole object is the collection and distribution of the important news of the world for publication in its member papers.
 Each member contributes ex- clusively to the organization the news of his vicinage.
 News of all other countries in the world is gathered by staff men in centralized bureaus and in the field. In addition, there is available, through exclusive news exchange contracts with the important foreign news agen- cies, all of the news that they gather.
 80,000 individuals report news to THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
 This news is distributed by leased wires. There are 55,000 miles of leased wires operated in the daytime, and 53,0G0 at night.
 It is the greatest clearing house for news in the world. The number of words daily received and transmitted at each of the more important offices is over 75,o00-the equivalent of 50 col- unns of the average newspaper.

Whdt the ASSOCIATED PRESS IS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS has no stock capital; it makes no profits and declares no dividends.
 The revenues reach an annual aggregate of $7,000,ooo derived wholly from weekly assessments levied pro rata upon the mem bers.
 The members of THE AssocI. ArED PRESS are persons of every conceivable political, economic and religious advocacy. They demand accurate news; notwith. standing their varying opinions, they are united in one thing--that THE ASSOCIATED PRESS news service shall be wholly free from partisan activity; the news must be important, clean, and fren from any tinge of propaganda. To this end the news is inter- tionally and necessarily sub- jected to the criticism of fifteen directors, twelve hundred mem bers and, most important, ths reading public. 1
 It is the theory of THE AssocI. ATED PRESS that, in a self-govern. ing country like ours, the cid. gems, if given the facts, must be able to form their own opinion and judgments respecting them.
