Resolution Passes Despite
Opposition of Utah Delegates
at Democratic Meet.


OGDEN, Utah, September 24.-With
the Endorsement Of Gov. Al Smith of
Me- York as a candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination
adopted over opposition of Utah dele
gates. party workers from seven
Western States in conference here
today turned to discussion of plans to
bring about unity in the West.
Summoned by an invitation from
Fred w. Johnson of Wyoming to
discuss big problems Of the party"
the conference organization was per-
fected yesterday. The committee on
the order of business Immediately of.
fered a resolution indorsing Gov.
Smith.
Held Most Available.
Gov. Smith was described in the
resolution as 'the most available
: candidate mentioned for the nomina-
tion for President" After stating
that there was mo desire to usurp in
the least the duties and prerogatives
of the Democratic organizations of
these States" the committee urged
discussion of the resolution be given
priority over other business.
l.. II. Francisco of San Diego, Calf,
self-announced candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
was the first to oppose the indorse-
ment Of Gov. Smith. He said he be-
aieved such action would be prema.
ture. Francisco, who was not ac-
cepted as a delegate. had some diff
Guilty in gaining recognition.
Resolution Is Opposed.
John H. Moyle. Democratic national
committeeman from Utah. objected to
the resolution because he declared it
pld not represent the sentiment in his
State.
Neither are you from your repre-.
sentative States expressing the senti-
ment of your States" Moyle said.
so why kid yourselves and try to
tell the East there is a great wave of
sentiment in the West for AL Smith
for President.
However, for me to express
further opposition to the proposed
resolution would be out of harmony
and inappropriate. In time, may be
for him. I believe he is a progressive.
and perhaps understands the prob
1ems of the West as neither Cleve

johnson. one of the sponsors of
the resolution, continued his support
Of Gov. Smith by reiterating his
statement that withdrawal of Williamt
G. McAdoo had left no other candi-Y

from party leaders in Western States
not represented here that Al Smith
was strong favorite.
Plea for Harmony.
Johnson also appealed to the dele.
gates to strive for harmony, that the
West might form bloc that can be
heard and needed in the party con-

While plans to perfect a Western
Democratic organization were sched.
uled as the principal subject for dis

"Drowning-by accident (?J' was the
dubious autopsy conclusion Wednes-
day in the death of Capt. Frederick
Hopper, Jr., 46, for whom a two
weeks search had been conducted by
200 American Legionnaires, friends
with bloodhounds, and police.
The body of Hopper. World War
veteran, and part heir to a $1,500,000
estate, was found yesterday in the
Potomac River near Great Falls, Md.
Bruises on the head were held insig-
nificant by physicians, who said
Hopper was alive when he entered
the water.
Doctors were restrained from writ
ing a suicide verdict by Kopper's ac-
quaintances, who explained he had
no motive for killing himself, and
if he had would have used revolver
with which he was expert. Friends
insisted on a foul play theory, but
when this was unacceptable to physi-
clans. said Hopper must have fallen
into the river.

DISPUTE IN COURT
Officers Ask District Tribunal
to Order Accounting of
$500 Fee.

The District Supreme Court was
asked today to settle a dispute as to
the persons entitled to act as officers
of the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy, to require an accounting
by Gen. Samuel r. Ansell of a fund
Of 5000 alleged to have been Illegally
withdrawn by certain of the defend
ants from the funds of the society to
paw him an attorneys fee, and to pre-
vent interference by the defendants
with the exercise of their official du-
ties by the plaintiffs. Attorney
Charles T. Clayton represents the
plaintiffs.
The suit is filed by Lillian Cheno-
weth, as treasurer of the District of
Columbia Division, U. D. c.; Frances
w. Weeks, as registrar of the divi-
sion; Lucy S. Clay, individually and as
president of Stonewall Jackson Chap

and "a other officers of various chap
ters, in addition to Gen. Ansell and
the Washington Loan & Trust Co., in
which institution the funds Of the
Daughters were deposited.
The dispute dates back to the con-
vention of 1928, and the court is told
that subsequent conventions repudl-
ated the action of that convention in
seating certain delegates from the
Robert E. Lee Chapter, and at the con-
vention of 1925 the District of Colum-
bia Division was suspended and the
several chapters directed to report di-
rect to the general officers as inde-
pendent chapters. Certain of the de-
PENDANTS employed Gen. Ansell, and
he threatened suit If the division was
not reinstated, and an agreement was
reached with the president general for
the reinstatement.
The plaintiffs claim they were not
in these negotiations and
did not participate in the employment
of the lawyer and now want an ac-
counting of the fee of $500 which was
from the funds of the So
ciety.

MILITSCH, Silesia, September 81
The casket holding the famous Malt
zan pearls, which legend says came to

and are said to change color whenever
a death in the family occurs. was
opened today by the general desire of
relatives in consequence of the death
of Baron Ago Won Nathan.
1t was found that all the pearls had
turned a yellowish tinge instead of
only one pearl becoming discolored, as
hitherto has been reported to have
happened whenever a member of the
family died.
The last occasion that this definitely
was established, according to family
records, was in 1892, when the baron s

Death Like Beach Car.

HAMMONDTON, n. J., September
have sped out into the road near where
DR.. A. William Lilliendahl, retired
physician, was slain on September IS,
today claimed the attention of investi-
gators of the killing.
The car was said by the authorities
to answer the description of one owned
by Willis Beach, Nineland poultry
raiser. and friend Of the Lilliendahls,
who is free on $4,000 bail as ma
have been seen shortly before noon the
day of the killing by three men from
Morrisville, Pa.
The three, who were described by au-
thorities as a business man, his chauf-
feur and a friend, were driving
toward Hammondton, they told the
police.
Frank Harold, chief of Atlantic City
detectives, said the three men would
be shown Beach's automobile and
would also face Beach. They were
questioned by William Hudson, chief
of police Of Vineland, where Beach
and Mrs. Lilliendahl reside. Hudson
learned of their story Sunday when
they talked to a detective at the scene
of the Staying.
Mrs Margaret Lilliendahl. 41-year-
old widow of the physician, has ad
vanced the theory that drug addicts
who had been treated by her husband
might have been the slayers.
Her story as related to the authori
ties has been that her husband was
shot down by two negroes, who robbed
her. She is free on $4,000 bail as
material witness.
Twenty-Five laborers continued to
clear the dense underbrush from about
the spot where the killing occurred, in
search of the slayer's pistol, which in.
vestigators believe may have been
tossed into the thicket.
