 "Mr, Ora beck certainly handled the situation in a very capable man ner and extended 10 me very cour- teous treatment.
 Tt is very often that an auto driver who has had a little hard luck is humiliated by the show of authority by the officer on the case, and I feel that your attention should be called to the very fine manner in which this officer is doing hts duty.

DEMOCRATS GIVE
 VIEWS ON SMITH
Copeland Predicts Victory With
 Aid Of South

Washington, Oct 20 R-Senator Copeland of New York, former Sen ator Pomerene, of Ohio, and Mrs. Florence Atkins. of Georgia, are the most recent democratic leaders to make public expression of their views on the presidential possibil ties of Gov. Smith of New York, Copeland predicting victory with the aid of the south. Pomerene endors- ing the Smith candidacy, and Mrs. Atkins declaring tersely that his nomination would spell party sui eide"
 At the same time, Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, prophesied Q political "revolution' in the middle west, should the republicans nomin- ate a man whose views on farm re- lief are the same as those of Presi- dent Coolidge.
 With the backing and support of the south, said Senator Copeland, Smiths nomination and election are assured. He declared that southern opposition was mot so strong as it had been represented" and looked hopefully for assistance from Dixie.
 After enumerating IT western and middle western states whose delega- tions, he said. would be for Smith and adding" to these New England and the Atlantic coast states, the New York senator declared he could not believe the matter Of religion would consolidate the south against the sterling manhood and democra- : cy of Governor Smith," or cause 1t 10 Haunt the wishes of a larger group of electoral votes than the south possesses"
 Pomerene's endorsement was con- tained In a magazine article appear ing today. He praised Governor Smiths accomplishments in New York and defended his attitude to- ward prohibition. Tt is better" he said, to have a president personally wet who will enforce the law, than a president personally dry who will not or cannot enforce it." He de- clared, however, that there were so many able leaders that he did not want 10 seem unequivocally commit ted to Smith.
 The south does not intend to sup port Governor Smith should he be nominated Mrs. Atkins said las, night in an address before the state convention of the Women's Chris tian Temperance Union at Hunting ton, W. Va, The party she de clared, Twill go down in dust and ashes at our feet if he gets the nomination. I'd hate to see the dem ocratic party commit suicide but if 3. party has no keener vision or no greater love for it's country than 10 dnncy. I say that it deserves to die and we are ready for a new party"
 Senator Walsh, who was inter viewed at Madison. Wis, while on his way to Washingto on, Is of the opinion that neither party should put wet or dry plank in it's campaign platform. Should an out standing wet get the nomination of either. he said, it would be bone head politics. for his followers to force the adoption of a wet plank The "drys' he believes, should he satisfied with things as they are. Senator Walsh is classed with the latter.

Disposal of the present Knights of Columbus home on Franklin Square, q matter which the members have had under consideration for some time, may be brought to a head at meeting of the society at the home tonight
 It has been the opinion of some members that the financial returns which have been received from the present home are not as great as returns from a society home con- ductcd under another arrangement would be.
 The present quarters, without a large hall and without site for an athletic contest of any size, are not favored by most of the members. it is said. They are anxious to take another step which might bring greater revenue into the treasury of the society.
 Some time ago a petition was cir culated among the members 10 have the present building sold and to have a country club purchased in it's place. This petition was said to have 200 signatures and is still in circu- lation.

FORMER GERMAN
PLAYBOAT IS SOLD
Nohab, Damaged by florida Hur.
ricane, to Enter West
Indian Service.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, December 8.--The ro-
mantle career of the steam yacht
Nohab, formerly the German imperial
playboat, has not ended, despite that
since the hurricane of 1926 it has
lain on the water front here half
submerged by the waters of Biscayne
Bay.
Charles II. Dickson. Miami Beach,
formerly of Palo Alto, Calf, an
nounced through his attorney here
yesterday that he had purchased the
vessel and will recondition it for the
West Indian service.
The Nohab was riding at anchor off
Bay Front Park when the hurricane
struck on September 20, 1926, and
was dashed against the shore after
foundering in the gale-swept bay.
Several members of the crew were
believed to have been drowned, and
no trace of them ever was found.
Another palatial yacht, the Es-
meralda, also sunk in the hurricane,
was lifted above water yesterday and
towed to a berth where it will not
interfere with shipping. Libels
against the boat by the city and by
two divers are pending in the courts.
Whether the Esmeralda will be re-
fitted for service could not be learned.
The Nohab was engaged in the
West Indies service when sunk,
after a varied career which began
when it was presented to the Kaiserin
of Germany many years before the
World War.
Several other hulls remain about
the water front here as reminders of
the hurricane.
