Hoover Trims
 Sails

When Secretary Hoover finds it oppOrtune to announce himself as candidate for President he will de- clare himself opposed to the League of Nations, which he formerly ar dently supported.
 Hoover believes the United States is better out of the League than in, although throughout the fight in which President Wilson tried to en- ter the United States he did all he could to help.
 SILENT ON CHANGE
 Hoover has made no statment about his change of attitude. Neith- CT will he permit statement to be made in his behalf. But his posi- tion was explained yesterday by persons closely identified with Hoov- er-for-P President movement. TheN stated authoritatively that he is fully convinced the United States should stay out of it.
 It was further explained that when the League question was be- ing debated, Hoover believed il might bring peace and solve world economic problems. Subsequent activities of the League, however are said to have convinced him tha! the Senate made no mistake in re jecting the whole League proposal. In certain sections, Hoover's l friends are assuring old League die hards that he is still strong friend of the League and that if elected he will see to it that the United States becomes a member, while in other parts of the country pro moters of the Hoover boom are as serting he has no further use fol the League.
 WINS CABINET OVER
 HoOver's change of view wa; sharply demonstrated at sessif ] | of the Cabinet three months ago when relations with China wer discussed. President Coolidge an' Secretary Kellogg urged that tn United States join Great Britain il aggressive measures upon warrin' j factions.

LEOPOLD LOEB
POINTED OUT
: AS KIDNAPERS
Taxi Driver Charges Mutila-
tion in 100000 Damage
Suit in Circuit Court

Joliet, ILL.,, Jan. 5.-LP9-Nathan
Leopold. Jr., and Richard Loeb, were
identified in court yesterday by
Charles Rean, Chicago taxi driver,
AZ the men who kidnapped and mutt
lated him in November, 1928, but the
slayers Of Bobby Franks took little
interest in the accusation.
Summoned to circuit court as de-
PENDANTS in Ream's 100000 damage
suit, they smiled and shook their
heads at each other when Ream
pointed an accusing finger at each
Of them in turn. They did not once
glance at Ream during his testimony,
but carried on . lively conversation
with their attorneys.
The two in their first appearance
together in more than two years
said they had enjoyed tho little va
cation from Joliet prison more than
anything that had happened since
their commitment" 1t was the first
time Loeb had left the prison since
he entered Joliet September IL, 1924.
Leopold. however, had been out three
times before, once when he was tax
en- from the old to the new prison;
again when he, with other prisoners,
was taken back to the old prison for
q religious festival, and last, when
he recently appeared as reluctant
witness in the trial Of six convicts
who killed deputy warden in an
I At court adjournment they were
handcuffed each to the other, hustled
down the janitor's elevator and past
= crowd Of 500, into an automobile
that took them back to prison but
pthey were expected back in court to-
day, but not to take the witness
stand.

Chaff From the
Legislative Mill

NOnpartisan and Independent mem
bcrs of the house agreed Tuesday on
one thing, that. was their opposition
to any favors by 'lady luck" in the
distribution of seats.
(. According to custom the seats were
assigned by lot. The number Of each
district was placed in hat and rem
rescntatives had their choice Of seats
in the order that their numbers were
drawn. The number IA was first out
of the hat and was followed by 49,
whereupon cry went up from the
waiting legislators to "shake tenn up
good" The next number out was 2l
and those from districts with small
er numbers were satisfied.
John w. Carr, new speaker of the
house, has sense of humOr. He
used It this afternoon in appointing
committee to escort former speak
ers 4. L. Twichcll and Ben Larkin to
places of honor on the speakers dais
during the joint session of the house
and senate. The members chosen as
an escort bommittce were Minnie d.
Craig, Benson county and Miss Mary
McGinnis, Stutsman county, the only
other woman member Of the house.
Ywichell stood the ordeal we'll but
iarkin gave faint indications Of
blushing.

CUDAHY SCION
LOSES OUT IN
MARRIAGE TRY
YCungster Jailed at Mothers
Request After Ehpement
With Movie Actress

Los Angeles, Jan. 5.---tP) Michael
Cudahy, 10 year old scion of the
famous Chicago family. is in Jail
after having been foiled by his moth
err in three attempts to marry "a
motion picture actress.
A stern jaiier, in the person of
Sheriff James Ross Of Santa Bar
bara, took the ove-besieged youth
into custody last night at the re-
quest Of his mother, Mrs. John P.
Cudahy, as he visited town after
town with his BRIDE to-be, Miss
Marie Astairc, 10, in quest Of some
official who would issue him
marriage license.
Each time the strategy Of the
mother was effective. Again and
again she notified county authori-
ties by telegraph and telephone that
her son was under age and that she
refused to consent to the marriage.
She declared Michael had been drink
ing recently. When Miss Astaire re-
turned here she was dry-eyed and
appeared to take the defeat philo-
sophically.
1--WE almost had marriage IL
censc at Ventura" she said. "Thc
clerk was about to handle the papers
to Mr.. Cudahy when telegram ar
rived. l think it was q mean trick"
Mrs. Cudahy planned to 20 to
Santa Barbara to have talk with her
son.
Hes only child, just 49," she
said, "and because he's attractive and
has money he becomes The TARGET
for all sorts Of persons"

COLO. WARDEN
DEFIES0RDER
OF GOVERNOR
Continues in Control Of State
Penitcntiary Despite TO-
Day Suspension

Denver. jan Warden
Thomas J. lyman today continued in
control Of the state penitentiary at
Canon City in defiance OF an execu-
tive order from Governor Clarence
j. Morley, suspending. him for 10
days without pay.
Charged by the governor with in
efficiency, drunkenness, insubordina
tion and inhuman treatment of con-
yicts, Warden lyman declared the
courts have ruled that governor
has no authority to suspend war
den and that nobody is going to
take possession of this pcnitentiary
except by legal MEANS
Replying to the governors state
ment that the gates to the peniten-
tiary were padlockcd: that extra
guards were patrolling the walls and
that machine guns were trained on
the main entrance, lyman said the
prison equipment included large
arsenal, but refused to say whether
he planned to use the guns to keep
out the governors representatives.
The machine guns have been used
for years to guard prisoners in the
rock quarrics, the warden said.
In disputing the governors author
ity to suspend him, lyman said he
was employed by the state civil SER
vice commission and would continue
in office until relieved by the COM
mission.
The breach between lyman and
Governor Morley is IA sequel to an at
tempt by Governor Sweet, whom Nor
ley succeeded, to oust lyman.

BUILDING OF
new CRUISERS
OBJECTED TO
President Reaffirms Position
in Face of Plan to Enlarge
u S. Navy

Washington. Jan. 5.-(P)-ln the
face of the gathering storm in con-
krcss over enlargement Of the Amer
lean navy, President Coolidge today
rcaffirmcd his opposition to the con-
structiOn Of new cruisers at the pres
cnt time.
In letter to Chairman French of
the house subcommittee considering
naval appropriations. the president
declared that the budgets naval rec
concentrations. emitting funds for
the new ships, represents my best
Judgment" and added that he felt
it his duty to stand by that recon-
mendation.
Mr.. Coolidge added, however, that
he saw no objection to COMPRESSION
al authorization" for more war
ships of the cruiser type provided
there was no call on the treasury to
carry the authorization into effect.
When the letter reached the capi-
tol, the house naval committee was
hearing testimony regarding the con-
dition of the navy, including state
mcnt of Rear Admiral C.. C. Bloch,
the ordinance chief, that the nation S
present naval force includes about 20
old cruisers that wouldn't have a
chance against modern ship"
May Override Recommendation
On the basis Of this and other
statements, some of the house Re-
publican leaders were giving serious
consideration to proposal to over
ride the budget recommendation and
authorize construction of at least
three cruisers.
The old cruisers referred to by Ad-
miral Bloch had been included, the
admiral said, in list Of ships given
the house yesterday by Representa-
tive French as representing the
country's sea strength. Some Of
these cruisers dated from the battle
of Manila, Admiral Bloch declared,
and zone modern ship could lick the
whole bunch of them"
The admiral's statement created
something of sensation in the naval
committee.
Representative Brotten today car
ried his fight to the house floor,
where the naval appropriation bill is
under debate. He described the Gen.
eva preliminary arms conference as
SILLY, a joke and bosh" and declared
no further arms limitation agree
ment can be reached because the
United States navy has nothing more
to scrap"

ORGANIZATION

T0DAY'S TIME
House Expected to Adjourn
Early Out of Respect to
Deceased Members
TWO WANT SENATE JOB
e. w. Carey, Lidgerwood, On.
posed by Walter Bond, Mi.
not, for President Pro Tenn


North Dakota legislators marked
time today while leaders in both
branches were attempting to completes
organization details.
In the house, early adjournment
was forecast out Of respect to form
er members who died since the last
session and Speaker John W. Carr
was working on his list Of committee
appointments. It probably will not
be ready to announce before Monday.
Meantime the senate was attempt
ing to settle the question Of who
shall be president pro TEN.
G. W. Carey, Idgerwood, Is the
favored candidate but has met real
opposition from Walter Bond, Minot.
Precedent Favors Carey
Precedent would give Carey the
place, since he was elected president
of the senate ad interim at the close
OF the 1925 session and men holding
that position have usually been given
the place at succeeding sessions if
their party retained control.
Bond, however, is seeking to upset
the precedent on the contention that
Carey, having served two years. is
not entitled to the place, this despite
the fact that Carey has not had an op-
portunity to serve in the place dur
ing a legislative session. Since the
Independents have only a onc-vote
margin over Nonpartisan senators, it
us necessary that they reach an
unanimous decision in caucus. The
question may not be determined be-
fore late tonight or tomorrow.
Still Selecting Employees
Independent job committees of both
houses were still busy today. The
house committee awarded one steno-
grapher's job to the Nonpartisans and
Margaret Shechan, Bismarck, was rec
commended. The committee also rec
ommended appointment of Peter
Schantz, Bismarck, as janitor. The
rest. Of the appointments, all to minor
positions, probably will be held up
for several days because of difficulty
which the committee has encountered
in sitting them out from the large
number of applicants.
!. A partial list of senate employees
may be announced today.
In q statement today Governor A.
G.. Sorlie expressed his appreciation
of the work of the Business and Pro.
fessional Women's club and the Bis
marck company of the national guard
in connection with the inaugural re-
ception last night.
Il was estimated that 5000 persons
attended the reception, Of whom
$500 passed through the receiving
line. The governor said this morning
that he believes the "party was q 100
