Assistant Attorney General, last night debated over the radio on the relative merits of the law en- forcement blanks in the Democrat ic and Republican platforms.
 Mrs. Roosevelt declared the Democratic plank, from her view point as a dry, seemed much more specific than the Republican plank and Gov. Smith, while favorine modification of the Volstead Act would be the first to agree that in changing the law he would be powerless unless Congress agrees. '
 Mrs. Willebrandt declared the Democratic plank did not go as far as the Republican plank and she charged Gov Smith scrapped his party's pledge by his message to the Houston convention. She as- serted Herbert c. Hoover has in his private life and habits, tenn perance which is square with the party's pledge

Actress Charges
 M $l,847,OOO Suit
 Denied by Christie

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8.-Charles H.

The actress has charged breach of promise to marry and breach of contract to employ"
 Christie's attorney said that Miss Murrell's suit probably was an ef- fort to force the producer to pay over a big sum of money rather than permit the unfavorable pub licity which would attend filing of the suit.
 This is not the first time it has been tried" the attorney said. Some months ago Christie was approached and told that unless he made a settlement court ac- tion would be started"

 There is no secret that the Re- publican Party leaders would wei come the victory of Hay, who is leading in the early eturns, as this would place a dry Senatorial candidate on the Democratic ticket with a wet Presidential candidate, and thus work in favor of the Republicans all along the line.

FELDON APTS. BURNED EARLY
 THIS MORNING
Large Structure Is Destroy ed by Fire-Tenants
 Heavy Losers

The Feldon Apartments, former ly known as the Juneau Apart ments, owned by Sam Feldon and located on Calhoun avenue, were totally destroyed by fire early this morning.
 Few of the fifty-seven tenants of the apartments were able to save their personal belongings. By the time the fire was discovered about 4 am, the blaze had a good start and the building was already filled with smoke and burning rap idly
 Bremen were called out shortly after o'clock, but were able to do little, for upon their arrival the building was a mass of flames. in short while water was being poured from six lines of hose.
 Three high pressure lines, from Fifth and Seward, Fourth and Seward and Court House Hill were used, while low pressure lines were strung from Fifth and Main and Fifth and Calhoun, two from the latter hydrant.
 Kept From Spreading
 For four hours the fire fighters were on the job. When it be- came apparent the fire could not be stopped, care was taken to keep the flames from spreading. Nearby buildings were kept under spra, of water, especially Giovanetti's Grocery building, which is located within a few feet Of the ~Feldon Apartments.
 One line of hose was put in use fro mthe top of Giovanetti's; an other sprayed between the puild- ings, while a third was used to pump water into the nearest end of the burning structure.
 Recent heavy rains undoubtedly saved the north end of the city from far more serious confla- grafton, for burning sparks and pieces of paper flew through the air and dropped blocks from the scene. As house tops were all damp the sparks had little oppor- tunity of catching fire to other places.
 Tenant Causes Worry
 During the early stages of the fire it was believed for a time one of the tenants of the apartments had been caught in the blaze. He had been running to and from the street and his room, saving what he could, when suddenly a sec tion of the building caved in. He was nowhere to be seen and in tense anxiety was felt for his safe ty until he was located on the street short time later.
 Some trouble was experienced with a tenant of a small house below the apartment, who did not wish to leave his home. He was convinced of the folly of his de- sires when one of the large chim- neys from the burning building dropped onto ms r00f and cOntln- ued on until it reached the inter- for of the dwelling.
 During and after the fire, Min nie Fields, cook at the Court House. and Mary Young, who op- crates the Arcade Cafe, served hot coffee to the firemen. The men from the Fire Hall today ex- tended their thanks to these wo- men for their aid.
 Sam Feldon said today he would do nothing, while his work in re- building the Cliff Apartments which he recently took over, may be temporarily delayedI
