PLATFORM TO
DODGE POWER
TRUST ISSUES
Boulder Dam and U. S.
Probe Will Be Avoided,I
Says Chairman.
BY RUTH FINNEY

HOUSTON, Texas, June 26.-The
Democratic platform will ignore the
hydro-electric power issue almost as
completely as did the Republican
platform.
This was made clear today by
Senator Key Pittman of Nevada,
who is slated to be chairman of the
resolutions committee.
In view of Governor Alfred E.
Smiths past record on power it was
thought the platform would make
this an issue and would deal with
recent revelations of the Federal
Trade Commission about the power
lobby, with Boulder Dam and with
President Coolidge's veto of Muscle
Shoals.
Shun Dam and Probe
However, Pittman, with a tenta-
Give draft of the platform under his
arm, seemed quite certain on the
subject. He held conferences Mon
day with close representatives of
Smith, and this indicated the plat
form was taking definite form,
though Pittman would not admit it.
He did say definitely that there
will be no specific Endorsement of
Boulder Dam in the platform.
1T is too controversial a matter
for us to deal with" said Pittman.
1t is possible, he added, that some
generalized statement concerning
the Colorado River will be included.
AS to the Federal Trade Commits
sion, sit is very doubtful whether
the investigation will be mentioned
at ALL"
Dry Fight Looms
Leading figures in the private
power lobby, as revealed by the
trade commission, are here at the
convention. They we're at Kansas
City-also and were successful there
except in failing to prevent Sena-
tor Robert La Toilette, Jr., from
reading his platform, with its strong
power plank, to the convention.
A stronger wet and stronger
dry plank than have ever before
been submitted at a Democratic
convention will be laid before the
resolutions committee for debate,
Pittman said.
Neither extreme declaration will
be adopted, he indicated.
Pittman says the platform will
undoubtedly contain strong
denunciation of the Naval Oil and
Continental Trading Company
liberty bond scandals. but he does
not believe the leading culprits in
these affairs will be mentioned by
name.

Striking Contrast Shown
From Four Years Ago
in New York.
BY PERCY B. SCOTT
United Press stan Correspondent

ALBANY, N. Y, June 2S.-While
his friends and campaign managers
were struggling in Texas today. to
bring about his nomination for the
presidency on the first ballot Of the
national Democratic convention,
Governor Alfred E. Smith sat in his
offices in the Capitol here, appar
emily not the least perturbed.
Those of his friends who were
with him today could not help but
recall a day only four years ago,
when similar convention was on in
New York City, with the Governor
proclaiming that he certainly would
be nominated.
The contrast of today and four
years ago is striking.
Great Contrast Shown
At that time he did not see more
than third of the delegates favor
ing his nomination, but he was con-
fldent that the convention would
be Swayed to his favor.
More than two weeks later, the
convention named John w. Davis,
and New York Democrats were Bit
terly disappointed. The Governor
may have been, but he did not show
it. Four years ago ne personally
directed most of his campaign,
either from his suite in the Bilt-
more Hotel or from a room in the
Manhattan club, across the street
from the old Madison Square
Garden.
Today he is not mixing in the
situation, letting his friends do the
work, and receiving their reports by
telephone and telegraph.
Report by Special Wire
The Governor has a direct source
of communication from the conven-
ton.
A special wire was strung into the
executive offices Of the governor by
the United Press, by means Of which
the chief executive is kept posted on
all the convention news.
1t is the first time in the history
Of the State that press association
wire has been placed directly in the
executive offices.

Styles in Engagement and
Wedding Rings Show
Great Changes.

women are wearing more cos
tune jewelry this year." says F. w.
Fromm Of the Baldwin Miller
wholesale jewelers. of Indianapolis,
attending the Indiana Retail jew
elers' convention, "Why?" he asked.
Its just like a woman"
1.-The styles in the more expensive
jewelry don't change very rapidly"
says M. o. Schneider of Cincinnati,
but one of the latest innovations
is the Baguettes cut diamond. 1t is
wonderful"
A diamond cut in this manner
has unusual brilliancy.
yellow gold was the style in all
jewelry during the war, but after
the war we discovered white gold,
and now the platinum has re-
turned he said
One of the most startling changes
is in the wedding ring and en-
gagement ring. From the old
fashioned wide gold band, the
wedding ring has been transformed
into a thin circlet of diamond-set
platinum and variations Of that
style.
Many women are having their
wedding rings of yellow gold faced
with platinum fashioned in the
1928 mode. The inside is gold and
the outside is platinum. Most
women have a great sentiment at
tached to the original yellow gold
band and wish to retain a portion
of the original ring while following
the style trend" said Schneider.
Most women are putting their
wedding ring on never to remove it.
The engagement ring then is I'M
der cut to fit on top of the we'd
ding ring.

MURDER is SHIP
ROBBERY CLEW
Think Victim Knew About
Leviathan Robbery.

By United Press
NEW YORK, June 26.-The first
Chew to the mail robbery on the liner
Leviathan turned up today when
police linked the theft with a dar-
ing murder in the center of New
York's business section.
Edwin Jerge, who was shot to
death at Broadway and Thirty
Sixth st. on June 10, is believed to
have lost his life because he either
knew too much or too little about
the Leviathan robbery.
G. H. Clarahan, chief inspector
Of the Postoffice Department, who
received an anonymous tip concern
ing Jerge, built up two theories that
would connect the shooting with
the robbery.
"Jerge might have been an &C
complete in the robbery" Clara han
said, land was murdered because
he tried to learn more about it so
he could collect his share OF the
loot.
"Or he might have known too
much to make his companions feel
safe"
The Leviathan is due to dock
here Saturday. Clarahan said he
could not taake definite steps I'M
til he had talked with the ships
officers. He said he would investi-
gate the theory the robbers had a
confederate on board when the ship
left New York for Southampton.
