Samoans Prosecuted.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand. -
Speaking at Auckland on May A, Mr..
H. E. Holland, leader of the N. z.
Labor Party, attacked the admins
tration of Samoa which was mandat-
ed to New Zealand by the League of
Nations.
The Samoans were not being al
lowed to develop their country along
the lines of their tribal customs, as
they were when the German govern
ment had control of Samoa. The priv
ilege of voting was restricted to
white people who had an annual in
come of property of 5000. This
meant government by wealthy en-
ployers.
Mr.. Holland said further that
number of native Samoan chiefs had
been interned in their tribal districts,
which they were not allowed to leave
without permission. Some time ago
a number Of them had wanted to
come to New Zealand to state their
grievances before the government,
but were not allowed to do so.

HOOVER FAVORED
FOR REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE IN '28
Dawes Has That Wall
Street Look
(By Federated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-With
the double murder in the Charlestown
state prisons electric chair postponed
from August 10 to August %, Wash
ington is turning to breathe it's
favorite stenches from the miasma Of
Republican swamp politics. During
the worldwide demand for justice to
Sacco and Vanzetti, the politicians
have been busy too, not demanding
justice, Of course, but planning and
plotting over a job control of the
next administration.
They have not yet been able to de-
eide finally whether Coolidge is just
a verbal trickster with his Il do not
choose" or whether he had really been
hauled out of the presidential running
as liability to the G. o. P With the
exception of Lowden, none of the
would-be successors to Calls job have
publicly announced their covetous-
ness. But the political camps Of
Hoover, Dawes and the lesser lights
have been as busy as beavers round
ing up strength for their favorites.
Hoover Looms as Next President.
Shrewd political commentators see
Dawes as a good second to Hoover.
Dawes has one bad drawback. He
smells too much of Wall Street, Of
bankers and finance control of gov
eminent. Wall Street rules, not
directly, but thru puppets who have
made their regulations elsewhere.
Thus Roosevelt was the rough rider
Of the Spanish war and Coolidge the
hero of the Boston police strike.
Hoover is the Red Cross man and the
business efficiency expert. But Dawes
is too close to the real rulers to as
sumo satisfactory disguise.
Charles Evans Hughes, of Stan
dard Oil, is generally regarded as the
G.. O. P. dark horse in case neither
Hoover nor Dawes can be nominated.
He is not an active candidate, but he
can be "drafted" -and if there's any
drafting to be done, it certainly won't
be Coolidge, whom the great majority
Of Republican politicians are only too
anxious to be rid of.
Herbert Not Idle Analysis Shows.
Analysis of Hoover's strength
shows him with New England in his
pocket thru his st. Lawrence water
way-power scheme. The east is prac-
tically his and if the reported alliance
with Bascom Slemp is confirmed the
south will certainly poll its vote for
him in the republican convention.
The southern delegates, job-holders
and corruptionists, swing one fourth
of the convention votes. Wit h
Hoover's flood relief reputation and
Slemp's expert help, this solid bloc of
votes is reasonably safe for the secre-
tary of commerce. The Pacific coast
is reported for Hoover, too, along
with the mountain states. Only the
middle west is doubtful, and after
Hoover is nominated, Washington
thinks that if the farmers could
stomach Coolidge in "a, they can take
Hoover easily enough in '2S.

Our Letter from Australia

SYDNEY, Australia (By Mall y
The long-threatened split in the La
Dor Party ranks in New South Wcles
now seems definite.
The first real signs of a definite
break started at the end of last year
when the militants drafted rules per-
hitting the Communists to enter the
Labor Party. The "politicaW wing
countered with rules to exclude the
Communists. Then the militants or
gained a conference which they
claimed was the official yearly con-
ference of the Labor Party, but this
was repudiated by the political" wing
of the party.
Premier a Militant.
The Labor premier (Mr. Lang),
one member Of the Labor ministry
and several members of the Labor
Party in parliament sided with the
militants, but other members of the
cabinet and about 35 members of the
Party in parliament took up the OPP
posing attitude.
The Federal Labor Executive issued
an ultimatum ordering the militants
back to the official movement under
pain of expulsion.
There the matter stands at pres
ent The militants have issued a
statement defying the federal execu-
tive's ultimatum and will probably
now set up a new Labor Party, con-
sisting Of unionists and Communist
supporters and other radicals at pres
ent excluded from the official Labor
Party by the, pure parliamentarians.
Labor Party Count.
AT the triennial conference of the
Australian federal Labor Party, held
at the Australian federal capital city
(Canberra) on May 11-16, a new
scheme was adopted for the organiza-
ton Of the political and industrial
sections of the Australian Labor Par
ty. The scheme is intended to replace
the existing Labor Councils and the
A. L. P. which, it is contended, di-
vide tho workers into two bodies.
Provision is made In the new
scheme for an interstate Dispute
Committee and federal executive,
financed by the affiliated member
ship in each Of the six states. The
federal executive is to have the power
to send delegates to oversee confer
ences. The new scheme is based
largely on what has been in opera

KO|Chak Officers
viii Stand Trial
For Cruel Murders

SEMIPALATINSK, July 16 fBy
MaiD The trial will begin, at the
end of this month, in Semipalatinsk,
of ex-General Annenkoff and ex-Gen-
eral Denissoff, formerly chief of An
nenkoff's staff.
The charge against Annenkoff is
that, from the beginning of the rev.
olution, he fought at the head of de-
tachments which he organized him
self to overthrow the Soviet power
Besides, Annenkoff is charged with
having committed mass murders of
representative of the Soviet power
and private citizens during all his
counter revolutionary activities. The
same charges are preferred against
General Denissoff.
While retreating with Koltchak's
army, Annenkoff committed numer-
GUS acts of violence on the population
Of the places he crossed. After cross
ing the Chinese frontier, Annenkoff
was arrested in March, 1921, by the
Chinese authorities at Urumchi and
put into prison. After his release,
Annenkoff settled in a Chinese town,
where he became a stud-owner.
In 1926, Annenkoff and Denissoff
illegally crossed the Soviet frontier
but were arrested by the Soviet au-
thorities. The two generals confessed
to the crimes they are accused of.

Natives Mistreated.
In asking for the appointment of
royal commission to investigate the
present position of aboriginal tribes
in Australia, representatives of scien-
tific, missionary, and welfare organi-
cations told the federal government
that the native blacks in Northern
Australia were being treated in
shameful manner.
1t was alleged that the smoking of
opium supplied by Asiatics was de-
generating the tribes and that con-
tact with the whites had brought
about pulmonary affections, syphilis
and other diseases. Where it had
been thought that the blacks had
stolen cattle, the ranch-owners had
innocent natives held in chains while
in some cases poison had been put
into their food. The blacks had a
very strict and exact property law
and they felt that they had per-
fectly legal right to cattle driven on
to their territory by whites. The
brutality which existed in some parts
should be abolished for the sake of
both aborigines and whites.

Portuguese Rebels;
SURPRISES Papers

LISBON, Portugal, Aug. 15.-The
Carmona cabinet tonight decided to
expel to the colonies all the military
and civilian participants in Fridays
revolution.
The revolution originated in Lisbon
and Oporto, and the demand was
made that the fascist government be
reconstructed.
Army officers, headed by Captain
Rodriguez, Captain Netto and Lieu
tenant Sarmento, delivered the ulti-
matum in this regard to General
Carmona, dictator Carmona imme-
diately ordered the arrest of the Of
ficers. Sarmento opened fire with his
pistol.
1t is Indicated tonight that Sar-
mento has fled to Spain. He and his
confreres in the attempted coup
d'etat have been dismissed from the
army ranks.
A journal in Lisbon has been sus-
pended.
LISBON, Aug. 15.-Apparently the
Carmona tyranny has succeeded in
suppressing the latest revolt; this
one, as usual, being an outbreak Of
wronged army officers, former ad-
herents of the government.
Commandant Filomena Camara,
Lieutenant Sarmento, and Captain
Netto Rodriguez are in jail charged
with treason after giving Premier
Carmona the scare of his life by
walking into his parlor night before
last and demanding that he should
not promote the extremely unpopular
Lieut.. Col. Passos f. Sousa, now min
lister of war, to be also president
of the cabinet. Some of Sousa's or
ders for summary and undignified
punishment of his personal enemies
among his brother officers" have
been overruled by the higher cabinet
officers. Sousa's new position re-
moves this check upon him, and led
to the incident, which almost became
an uprising yesterday.
1t is said that when Carmona de-
INJURED at taking any suggestions of
this sort, Lieutenant Sarmento took
shot at him with a revolver, but
Carmona escaped.
The group of dissatisfied officers
went back to the barracks, and issued
call for revolution, but were ar
rested before the equally dissatisfied
populace could rally to their support.
