WET AND DRY
TEAM LEADERS
IN HOUSEPASS
UpshaW of Georgia and Hill
of Maryland Among
Primary Losers.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-Two Of
the team Of what blase Washington
calls the house >vaudevillians are
about to pass from the congressional
stage.
Representative William D. Up
shaw. Dem), whose Journeys
against the demon rum have often
furnished the House with the spiel
ness of a sideshow, has been beaten
in the Georgia primaries. The en-
gagement of Representative John p.
Hill. rider of the white charger" and
defiant wet, terminates in March,
and he has been defeated in an at
tempt to win the Republican sena-
torial nomination in Maryland.
With their passing, the House
must look elsewhere for its histrionic
talent. 1t has many other perform
ers who help brighten the some
times dull and uninteresting sessions,
but none is in the class with Upshaw
and Hill.
Upshaw and Hill have been lead
ers of two of the many factions and
blocs in the House. The Georgian
is looked upon as the dry champion
while Hin has been the Moses" Of
the wet group. Although they hold
directly opposite views on the pro-
hibition question and frequently de-
bate feverishly, both have been warm
friends outside of the chamber.
A dry blast by Upshaw or a Hill
speech demanding modification of the
Volstead act invariably started an
afternoon of fireworks. Both al
ways draw a large crowd of listen
ers when they aired themselves on
the prohibition question.
Upshaw nearly always delivered
his remarks from a prepared speech
and seldom yielded to a fellow men,
Der. His az lses were carefully
prepared, with iowery phrases and
picturesque comparisons. His re-
fusal to yield while delivering an
address has been ascribed by some
to his apparently uncomfortable tenn
per. This was demonstrated shortly
before Congress adjourned when he
slapped the face of a newspaper re-
porter who had written a critical
article about him.
Upshaw walks with crutches, but
his foes say they are not indispen-
sable.
Hill acquired the title Of rider
Of the white charger" after big wet
demonstration and parade In Balti-
more several years ago. He headed
the parade on snow white horse.
Upshaw termed him "Moses." de-
claring the vets needed some one
like the Biblical character ito lead
them out of the wilderness" Hill
became known nationally when he
made wine in his cellar and was ar
rested and acquitted in test case.

u. s. COLONY
is AROUSED
BY Staying
Ask Why Mexican Federal
Troops Failed to Rescue
Wealthy American.

BIZ United Press
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 1.-THE
murder of Jacob Rosenthal, 81, re-
tired merchant of WOODWORK, N. Y.
by bandits, has aroused the Ameri.
can colony here. Rosenthals body
was found only three miles from
where he was kidnapped, and Amer.
leans asked today why Mexican Fed
eral troops failed to rescue him on
their search expeditions, II they were
making sincere efforts.
Three suspects have been identified
by Joseph Ruff, son-in-law of Rosen-
thai as being members of the bandit
gang and are being brought here for
trial. Two of the bandits were shot
and killed by the police who re-
covered the wealthy American
body. Search for remaining mem.
bers Of the gang is being made.
Ruff is In a serious condition in
a hospital, having collapsed upon
being informed OF the fate Of his
father-in-law. Ruff feels responsible
for the tragedy. He invited Rosen
thai to visit him here.
Kidnapped Sunday
Rosenthal was killed by bandits
who kidnapped him Sunday from a
party OF relatives with whom he
was returning here from Cuerna
vaca, a resort city. when they
realized that police, pretending to
be paying $4,000 ransom, had
Iricked them.
Two policemen carrying a bag
presumably holding the money, but
in reality loaded with iron bars, met
the bandits at designated spot in
the hills near Cuernavaca. Instead
OF handing over the bag, the police
opened fire. Two of the bandits
were killed. The others hiding near
by plunged their knives into the
Americans body, beat him over the
head with their rifles. and fed.
Last word from Rosenthal was re
ceived Wednesday morning in a note
to Ruff, which the bandits permitted
to reach its destination. Rosentha
wrote:
IT am two miles east OF the place
where we ate Sunday, on the way
from Cuernavaca to Mexico City
The bandits want 10000 pesos. Hur
ry up. Love. From Jacob Rosenthal.'
The ransom demand was scrubbed
in Spanish beneath.
The body OF Rosenthal will be
brought here today after a post-mor
TEN at Cuernavaca. 1t was reported
here that fourteen knife wounds
were found on the body and that the
skull had been hammered by rifle
butts.
Arthur Lane, secretary Of the
American embassy, has been In
structed by Charge d'Affaires Schoen
field to devote his entire attention to
the affair.

RESENT WAY
OF CHOOSING
LEADERSHIP
G. 0. P. Women Party Work
ers Object to Bureau
Head Choice.

Manner and method of selecting
Miss Mary Sleeth, Rushville, as sue
cessor to Mrs. Vivian T. Wheatcraft
as head Of the women's bureau of
the Republican State central commit
tee, has just come to light and is
causing much discussion in the rank
and file Of party workers.
Plans are being formulated by a
non-partisan group Of women for a
campaign for election to office in the
fall campaign only of such men as
will vote for bill to give women
equal representation in party or
,aganization.
Many women active in party af-
fairs claim that the thirteen district
cha1rmen and State chairman had
no right to delegate the selection Of
Mrs. Wheatcraft's successor to the
district vice-chairwomen, especially
In view of tho fact that Mrs. Wheat
craft has not officially resigned the
position to which she was elected by
the men.
Promised to Resign
Attention Is being called to the
fact that Mrs. Wheatcraft was elect
ed as head of the women's bureau
on demand Of Senator Watson and
an Indianapolis newspaper, with the
promise that she would resign with
in three weeks.
When Mrs. Wheatcraft was de-
tailed to work with the national con-
gressional committee, announcement
was made that her successor would
be chosen by the vice chairwomen.
When the meeting was held, four
women, beside Miss Sleeth, appeared
and chose the new head of the wom-
ems bureau. Those present were
Mrs. Walker, First district; Mrs
Dietrich, Fourth district, which is
the official residence of Mrs. Wheat
craft; Mrs. Hopkins, Tenth district,
and Mrs. Siebolt, Third district, home
of M. Bert Thurman.
1t is the contention of the dissent
ing women that this group had no
right to name anyone, because there
was no legal vacancy, Mrs. Wheat
craft not having resigned. They
point to the fact that such situations
can only be remedied by real So
so bill which will not be carried
away at the time 1t is to be voted
pm, by some member of the Legis-
Nature, as was done in 1923.
Work in Secret
Feeling that publicity, at this
time. might result in activity
aag1nst their cause, the women In
terested in the movement have re-
quested that their names not be
used.
One Of the leaders In the new
movement, which will be watched
with great interest, commenting on
the situation said.
Under the present situation
women are only the tools of the men
in party politics and that is the
thing that must be changed.

we are allowed by law to go in and
