The Price Of Votes
Must Take Flop Is
Washington Belief

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Ii
Upton Sinclair may have to revise
his Money Writes" in the opinion of
William Ware, senator-elect from
Pennsylvania who was refused his
seat because his supporters paid too
much money for the votes that elect
ed him. Economy is the watchword
OF big business nowadays.
Ware issued a loud and doleful
Jeremiad and wept like sinner in a
synagogue over the sorry pass to
which democracy has come when the
sovereign electors of a state are de-
prived of the right of representation
tho saddled with taxation of no mean
proportions.
The unseated senator-elect did not
say If there would be dress rehears-
al of the Boston tea party produced
in the vicinity of the Monongahela
River, but he looked as if a consider
able hole might be made in Andrew
Melons cellar before the sorrow of
the Pennsylvania G. 0. P. was prop
erly quenched. Taxation without
representation brought on one revo-
luton, Ware was heard to mutter.
Pray God it may not be the cause
of another"
1t was not for himself the senator
grieved. The big-hearted beer and
pretzels man from Philadelphia
mourned for his people and for the
waning fortunes of democracy and
self-determination.
eff the injustice were only to me
personally" he sobbed II might ac-
cept it, but cannot permit the rights
OF my state to be thus trampelled
upon without vigorous protest which
SO far as | am concerned will be
waged to definite conclusion. l can
not believe that such a grievous
wrong against ten million Americans
can obtain for long"

A Rolls-Royce Navy.

A bill was presented in court
Saturday to provide Rolls-Royce auto
mobiles for each officer of the navy.
Everybody in the House suddenly dis
claimed responsibility for the graft.
Representative McClintic, who was
thought to be the member who intro
duced the bill, became very vociferous
in his condemnation of the proposed
bill, stating that "naval officers
should devote their navigation to
ships, not automobiles"

HOME AREAS NEAR INDUSTRY.

Arthur c. Holden, an architect
whose firm is consultant to the Legis-
lative Commission on Revision of the
Tenement House Laws, has submitted
a memorandum to the commission
calling for a policy of locating perma-
nently restricted residential districts
next to industrial districts. His pur-
pose is to relieve the constantly in
creasing burden of traffic and trans
portation.
The memorandum points out that
high rents in Stun areas and the
maintenance of old tenements were
due to hope of ultimate sale to in
dustry at high figure. The result
is that workers move to outlying dis
tricts with consequent lowering Of
vitality.

If Nomination Is
Immediate, Smith
May Run in 1928

If the nomination for the 1928 pres
idency is handed to Al Smith on a
silver platter, he will accept it, friends
of the governor stated. But if the
"indignity" of the farce of the 1924
Madison Square Garden convention is
repeated, he will refuse.
Smith is known to be aware that
a long -drawn-out nomination fight
would ridicule and caricature the sit
uation, and the resulting nomination
would be worth little.

bership.

these officials are merely job seek
ers."
AS evidence Of this charge ne point
ed to the fact that three apparently
contending Candidates for the office
OF day secretary PUT up by the ma
chine in order to split thc progressive
vote were at that moment sitting to-
gether on the Earle platform at the
other meeting.
Enthusiastic For Wright.
Thomas Wright, secretary Of Local
9O5, was received with greaA enthus-
iasm. Wright, who until recently had
been day secretary Of District Council
9, and who was removed by the ruling
machine when he refused to do its
bidding, has been largely instrument
tai in the housekeeping which has
taken place in the painters unions.
''Soon after l became day secre-
tary," Wright said, Il discovered that
instead of the one agreement which
we had ell supposed was in operation
there were in fact three agreements,
two of them secret but actually in
force"
Secret Agreements.
These two secret agreements,
Wrigh: stated, he discovered quite by
accident in the office safe. One of
these. with the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company, went so far as to
permit work Saturdays in violation of
the painters 5-day week victory,
which had cost the Unions over $780,
900 to win.
Because he dared to expose these
betrayals Wright was expelled by the
machine from the district council.
The meeting held by the machine
faction was opened by temporary
chairman, Beletzky of Local 442. Bel
etzky's first act was to call the ma
chine candidates for office to row
of reserved seats at the front of the
hall.
Closed Session.
A strong arm squad of at least for
ty or fifty persons circulated about
the hall. Doors were ordered locked
at the opening of the meeting. No
one was permitted to leave.
The candidates named by the pro-
gressive Inter-local Committee, of
which Thomas Wright is secretary,
are Pete Rothman, president of Local
400, for day secretary of the council,
and John Hilfers, of Local 848, Amiel
Just. of Local 499, Harry Bloom, of
Local l011, and Lewis Kosloff, of Lo-
cal 905, for business agents.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-There

the stock market Thursday. Stocks
advanced nearly all day, some selling

ing purely profit-taking at the peak

several points.
Early in the day American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company had

LONDON, March IS. = British
scientists are chuckling over a Brit
ish monkey intelligence test, where
the monkey demonstrated greater In
telligence than its human Instructors.
The German inserted a banana in
a tube in the presence Of the monkey
and then poked 1t out of the tube
with stick. He repeated this oper-.

monkey all the while watching the
operation intently.
Finally the German left the tube
with the banana inside of 1t, and the
stick along side and retired from the
room TO watch the monkeys actions
through a peep hole. Directly the
coast was clear the monkey picked
up the tube, turned 1t upside down
and gave it one vigorous shake.
The banana tumbled out immed.o ,

been simpler and quicker that the

VAN ORMAN NOT
so SUCCESSFUL
IN LOBBY ROLE
Fails in CIemenCy Move for
Former BeIIbOy at His
Hotel.

Lobbying efforts of Lieutenant
Governor f. Harold Van Orman and
State Highway Commissioner Alvan.
V. Burch, Evansville, at the office OF
Governor Ed Jackson and the In
diana Pardon Board Thursday, have
thus far borne little fruit.
They called at the Governors Of
flee during the morning regarding
the reappointment Of Burch to the
commission when his present term
expires April II. Late in the after
noon they visited the pardon board
to intercede for clemency for Cleve-l
land Moore, former head bellboy at
the McCurdy hotel, which is owned
and operated by Van Orman at
Evansville, Moore is serving a one
to five-year sentence at the Michigan
City penitentiary for violation of the
liquor laws.
Although Jackson has not an
nounced that he will not reappoint
Burch, several others have been
suggested for the highway commits
sion berth by factions opposing the
Burch reappointment. The Males
huntington group from Vanderburg
County is opposing reappointment
and the name Of Herman Bryant.
Winslow, has been suggested to
succeed the Evansville man.
Little Roadway was made by the
pardon board visit. Appeal TO the
Supreme Court failed to release
Moore and Pardon Board Secretary
Charles York declared that he saw
no reason why the board should do
so. After the hearing York de-
clared that Van Orman attempted to
be arbitrary and to order the board
to do so, but that he didn't get
away with it," York and Judge
John C. Clancy were present, but
Rev. George S. Henninger third
member of the board, was absent
at the hearing.
No effort was made by Van Orman
to halt the Governors program to
abolish the board, so members feel
that they have no political debt to
pay on that score.

ton across the treaeherous waters OF
Carquinez Straints, on the northern
arm of San Francisco bay.
Crews have been toiling four years
on the structure, which as an engin.
eering project presented difficulties
greater than those of the spanning
of the st. Lawrence at Quebec, or
the Delaware between Philadelphia
and Camden, according to engineers.
The two cantilever spans Of the
Carquinez bridge are each 1882 feet
long. The only cantilever longer are
the Quebec bridge. the famous Firth
Of Foy crossing in Scotland, and the
New York-Queenstown structure
across the East river.
The huge central pier on which
one end of each cantilever span rests
presented the most difficult problem.
Located in the middle of the straits
where the water is 80 feet deep
menacing water dumped from two OF,

the Sacramento and San Joaquin
rivers, their mouths just a few miles
above the bridge, buffeted the pier
at either side.
From the bed of the straits II was
necessary to bore fifty feet through
rock formation to provide a base for
the piers foundation.
The bridge towers $50 feet in the
air equalling the height of twelve
story building. 1t is forty.two feet
wide, permitting four automobiles 20
pass abreast. The largest ship afloat
could pass beneath it as 1t has a 1876
feet clearance above the water.
