views publicly McAdoo has re-
manned silent. Stopping with his

censed operator but did not have
proof. She agreed, however, to
show her license to the New Haven
police and a little later, word came
on the teletype machine that she
had satisfied Captain White of the
New Haven police of the truth of

SENATOR Walsh IS
ALSO POSSIBILITY
Montana WarhorSe Likely 10 Be
Candidate

Washington, Sept. 20.-UP)-
Senator Thomas ]. Walsh OF Mon
tana is to be boosted along quietly by
some democratic leaders to see II he
can rally the prohibition wing OF
the party now that William &.
McAdoo has formally withdrawn.
Walsh is the man who almost
singlehanded turned up the Teapot
Dome oil scandal, although he is al
most as widely known to radio fans
for his insistcnt phrase For what
purpose does the gentleman rise %
broadcast throughout the land when
he was presiding officer at the last
democratic national convention.
Walsh is 4 strong dry and was an
ardent supporter of McAdoo during
the 1924 campaign He declined the
vice presidential nomination on the
ticket with John W. Davis that year.
His record in congress has been
progressive" and he would have
the sanction OF the Anti-Saloon
league.
His name is being brought for
ward by some of the McAdoo sup
porters here in the belief that he
would be an ideal candidate against
Gov. Al Smith OF New York. Walsh,
Ike Smith is a Catholic. BY pitting
him against Smith, some of the
McAdoo supporters believe they
could quiet the charge that they are
seeking Smiths defeat on religious
grounds. They believe nomination of
Walsh might quiet some OF the re-
ligious animoslties within the party.
Walsh would conduct his cam
paign on anti-monopoly and farm
reforms which are the two issues in
which many OF the dry democrats
are most interested.
Those who are bringing Walsh's
name forward are unwilling that the
anti-Smith strength in the party
should 90 to Senator Reed, demo-
crat, Mo-, a wet, who is now con-
.idered one of the foremost candi-
dates. If they find that their move
ment for Walsh does not reap desir-
ed results they may try one or half
dozen other democratic drys. Their
idea is to concentrate on one candi-
date to represent their views.
The names Of others being men
toned include: Senator Joseph T.
Robinson, Ark: former Secretary Of
War Newton D. Baker: Gov. Vic
Donahey Of Ohio: Rep. Cordell Hull
Tenn; Evans Woollen, Indiana and
Senator Barclay, Ky.

managers of better business bureaus

Unless the present, all pervasive

prise into corporations with securi-
ties which are offered for public
sale Simmons said. is matched
step by step with wider education of
the public in investment methods.
and with superior methods OF de-
tecting and Furnishing swindlers, the
fraud problem in American business
and financing alike will prove one of
constantly Increasing danger, not
only to the victims of fraud them
selves but also 10 the entire public"
security swndlers find the United
States lucrative ground for their eff
forts. Simmons indicated, because
of our vast internal distances, the re-
moteness of many OF our towns from
our financial centers, and most OF all
through the very prosperity which
this country has for so many years
enjoyed"
las far as the desire OF American
lawmakers and American business
men 10 check fraud is concerned,
this country has at any rate the dis
tinction of possessing more numer-
Gus and more complicated laws on
the subject than probably any other
nation in the world" Our expert
once, he added, seems to indicate
that in this volume of law lies a
danger rather than a help in actual

CHICAGO, May 4.--Wheat reacted
today after an early advance. Unex-
