 Tayoritc Sons Dangers.
 But the democratic situation Is precarious. Arkansas, Florida. Kentucky. Louisiana. Mississippi. North Carolina. Texas and Virgin ia may send delegates pledged 10 favor!te sons, according to present indications. Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma. South Carolina, Tennes- see and West Virginia are regarded as doubtful.
 Many southern democratic lead CTS have indicated their desire to eliminate the una rule by which the full strength of each state dele gation must be voted in T block for which candidate the majority of the delegation selects. 1T the rule Is abolished Smith may at the outset pick up some fifty scattered votes from the south.
 But many other leaders are against breaking the unit rule so long as the rule requiring a two thirds vote for democratic nomina- ton remains in force.
 Urges United Front.
 The ouundary of democrats in the south Is described in an editorial of the Oklahoma City Times which commented on the appeal of demo- cratic ladcrs for a united front" saying.
 Apparently in the opinion Of most political observers, it means the acceptance of Gov. Al Smith as u presidential candidate. Smith is far stronger today than he was in 1928 and is gathering momentum . sN Southern leaders are leaping on tho band wagon. . But that, for the democrats, doesn't assure q united front. Fol- lowers are not always harmonized when their leaders would end q fcud,'

New York, April 2S tUP)-Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross. former governor Of Wyoming, announced over the radio last night that she would sup port Governor Al Smith of New York for the democratic presiden- tial nomination if she received as surance from him that he would support the prohibition law.

 With statements Of political lead CTS. newspaper editorials and infor- nation from responsible sources as a gauge. a survey of fourteen states in the old and new south by tn" United Press indicates that rres- dent Coolidge there may expect 251 legates-sufficient to give him him the nomination with the 3$5 votes he expects in eastern regions.
 No Pledges For Smiih.
 The situation as regards Goy. Al Smith of New York, now consider cd he leading democratic candidate IS not so clear cut, but its result may prove just Is decisive. Smith has now no assurance Of 2 single vote from tho region. Indications are that at least eight of the four teen states will send delegates 10 the 1928 convention pledged for fla vori'e sons. and some delegations may arrir" unpledgod. Just how many Of these smith will receive after the first few ballots fin the convention may determine the ques- tion Of his nomination,

Don't you think you were pretty fresh to search that house without a warrant" Attorney Sexton demand ed-
 "Oh. here. now. that's going too far" Judge Hungerford said. Do not use the word fresh Use other language"
 4 little later, as Attorney Sexton raised his voice and told the officer 10 answer 'yes or no" Judge Hun gerford told him he objected to that line of questioning. Tt is more like browbeating and it Is not bringing out any material facts" the judge said.
 Mrs. Smith testified that her hus- band has been ill for some time and as she heard from people" that Grabowski could deliver alcohol, she met him on the street and asked him to bring her gallon. He promised to do so. but no mention of price was made, she said. Attorney Sex ton objected 10 Alr. Greenstein's line Of questioning. contcnding that the woman was q states witness and should not be ross-oXaminod. Mr. Grecnstcin Contendcd that she was hostile and asked permission to cross examine her, but Judge Hungerford said lie was satisfied that the state had proven that the alcohol had been transported. Tt IS too far fetched
 $@ ,1, 1a a .Ci was given to these people without charge" he said, as Mir. Greemstein pointed out that he was attempting to prove that the transportation was made with intent to sell.
 While Mrs Smih was on the wit ness stand, Attorney sexton asked Court Officer Iaupher to have Detec- tive Sergeant McCue come into the court room. T want to bring out something that happened downstairs yesterday, and show some of the methods used around here to con- vict people" he declared, but Judge Hungersord remarked that if sue h was the purpose Of the question the attorney intended to ask the witness, he would exclude it. A few minutes later. Sergeant McCue entered the court room and Judge IIungcrford called Attorney ScxtoDs attention 10 his presence. well, if the question is excluded, there is no need of ques- tioninE him." the attorney replied, and the sergeant was excused. At another point. Judge Huugerford eX- CluGed a question of the defense att tornoy and the latter asked the meaning of the ruling, 10 which Judge Hungerford replied: "Tho question is excluded; don't argue about it."
 Attorney Sexton moved for dis charge for Grabowski and the mo- ton was promptly denied. Grabow- ski called to testify Tn his own de- fcnse, admitted that he brought the alcohol 10 the Smith tenement, but he was not paid for it and no men, ton had been made of compensation, he said. Mr. Grccnstein reminded him that Mrs. Smith had testified, in reply 10 Attorney sexton, that she expected 10 pay for it some time, GrahoWski said ho had not heard he make the statement. Judge Hun- gerford interrupted the cross exam- ination to say he did not care 10 spend more lime with the case un- less the defense had more witnesses. Attorney Sexton said there were no other witnesses. and Judge Hun- gerford made a finding of guilty.

Ray Marsden ConfesseS
Novel Crime Career.

1CocLUtMBUS, Ohio, Aug. "a
Church robbery was something new
err tried before and this was the rea-
son Ray Marsden, now a convict in
the Ohio penitentiary claims he
started on his career of robbing
affairs.
In his latest confession, made to
newspaper men today, he said that
he had obtained more than 100000
from various churches over the coun-
try in the last twenty-eight years.
He claims to have some of the loot
yet including a $4,000 crozier stolen
from Cardinal Daugherty in Phila-
delphia.
II started stealing in 1885," he
said today. IT vas fiat broke and
saw wooden box In ST. Patrick's
church in GAINESVILLE, Wis, opened
it and found $500" he said.
He continued robbing churches
from then on.
Whenever we had hard time
robibng a church in the regular way
we would burn it," he said. "Then
during the excitement we would
rush in and take everything valu-
able. When the priests rushed out
from their houses to the church we
4 gould loot their property, too."
- He told reporters once that he
burned st. Paul's Cathedral at Mon
treal, a Catholic church at Brum-
mond, Que, and the shrine at st.
Anne de Beaupre and the Basilica
at Quebec.
