 Representatives of 30-odd nation al temperance organizations at 8 conference here which terminated last night drafted formal demands that the two national political con- ventions not only declare for rigid dry enforcement. but consider as presidential timber only men whose stand on prohibition is not to be questioned.
 In addition. plans are on foot for ! meeting in St. Petersburg. Fla. next week of dry leaders from southern states at which it is pre- dicted ways and means of nipping the presidential ambitions of Gov ernor Smith of New York will be discussed.
 It will be under the auspices of the Anti-saloon league. and friends of prohibition in nine states south of the Potomac and Ohio and east of the Mississippi are expected to attend.
 Purpose Of Meeting
 The main purpose of the meeting is to canvass the prohibition situa- ton in southeastern states, but those in charge of arrangements predict that the candidacy of the New York governor for the demo- cratic nomination, in particular, anu the possibility also that first place on the ticket might go to Governor Ritchie of Maryland or Senator Reed of Missouri. both Of whom are also looked upon with disfavor by the Anti-saloon league. will be considered.
 Some of the dry leaders who par Licipated in yesterdays conference here will have . hand in the St. Petersburg meeting.

 After the shooting an automobile. believed to have been used by the slayers was found abandoned near railroad crossing in Moosic. sever- al miles from Pittston. Inside the car were found two pump guns. a .3s caliber pisto! with six empty shells, and three dozen loaded pump gun shells. Several persons told the authorities they had seen three young men abardon the car and leap on a passing freight train bound for Scranton. Fairly accurate des- criptions of the fugitiyes were given the police.
 Campbell, a former international board member of the United Mine Workers, and Reilly were leaders of a faction of the union local which has been vigorously opposing the contract mining system in vogue in the Pituton district.
 Their slaying Is believed by the authorities to have been in retalia- ton for the killing of Frank Agata, a district organizer, who was shot to death ten days ago in the district sub-headquarters in Wilkes Barre.
 Campbell and Reilly, whose fac tion in the union has undertaken to raise funds for the defense Of Sam- uel Bonita, Steve Mendola and Adam Moleski, charged with the murder of Agata, were on their way from a conference with the prisoners in their cells in the Luzerne county jail when Slain.

Williams Caught
After Lengthy
Chase and Hunt

A two mile chase and a two hour
hunt waged by city police yesterday
afternoon resulted in the capture of
George Williams 1s, of Ell Centro.
A telephone cali was received at
headquarters late in the afternoon
from Mrs. w. H. kirkpatrick of
558 Adams street. Mrs. Kirkpat-
rick was at the gas plant in the
eastern part of town when she tele-
phoned and informed the police that
she had followed man whom she
found in her home that far and that
he was still in sight, although rum
ming.
Later she explained to the police
that she had stepped over town to
do some sohpping. She said tina,
she returned and that as she open
ed a door to one of the rooms in
the house she stood face to face
with the man. She said that she
ran hurriedly out of the house by
the front way while the man ran
out of the back. She then follow
ed him.
When the police answered., Cap,
tain Cromer and Patrolman See
berg, taking up the chase, they were
just in time to see Williams running
across a bridge over the Eighth
street ditch. They hurried to the
spot but he had disappeared.
Convinced that he was in the i'm
mediate vicinity they began a
search of the underground but it
was not until almost two hours later
that they found him. Patrolman
Seeberg, who by the way is no light
weight stepped on him as he lay
hidden in the weeds. Williams
grunted and Seeberg collared him.
Williams was turned over to the
county for investigation. 1t is pro-
bable that a charge of attempted
burglary will be brought against
him. At the station he said that
he had arrived in FL Centre about
three days ago, coming from Ken
