CLEW IS FOUND TO
DEAD THIEFS NAME
Youth Who Took Poison in
Prison Believed to Be
Eastern Lad.

The youthful automobile thief
who killed himself with poison in
city prison early Thursday, after
scribbling a farewell note to his
mother, was identified tentatively
today as Fred Vanderhoff, alias
Robert J. Walker of Titusville, Pa.
A Mccall magazine solicitors
card found in his pocket led to
identification, and revealed efforts
to obliterate the original name on
the card, probably in hopes of keep
ing word of his disgrace from the
mother, whom he wrote he hopes to
see "in the next world"
A photograph on warning notice
to Mccall agents on Vanderhoff's
activities was compared with the
dead mans features. Herman Sap
pington, deputy coroner, and j. w
Taylor, at whose funeral parlors at
North Illinois street the body rests,
both declared they believe the dead
youth is Vanderbilt.

WHATA DOCTOR KNOWS
ABOUT
CONSTIPATION

There is way of overcoming the
tendency to constipation. And here
is how you can PROVE it.
The next time your bowels need
any assistance, don't take the first
laxative that comes to mind. Take
one the druggist can assure you is
made with CASCARA. Just as eff
fective as using force, and it's good
for the system. Indeed, it helps
make good blood. For cascara is
nothing but the bark of tree. The
Indians chew this bark, and live to
an old age without a days sickness.
What happens when you cascarize
the bowels? They will usually func-
ton well for SEVERAL DAYS. One
more doSe-no larger, and perhaps
smaller than the first-and the bow

a still longer time. Until you don't

In announcing the golden ami

Editor Louis B. Settler referred to
an article by E. w. Scripps which
appeared on the first page Of the
Penny Press.
What are your politics?" Scripps
was asked by a Clevelander. He
answered through the columns Of
his newspaper:
1--WE have no politics, that is, in
the sense of the word as commonly
used" he said. I'VE are not Re-

the side of this or that party, or

"The newspaper should simply
present all the facts the editor is

BOTH PARTIES
'CONCEDE' Their
OWN VICTORIES
Hoover Will VIM Smith
Next President Leaders
= of Camps Say.
BY CARL d. GROAT
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-"Vic-
tory" claims for next weeks presi-
Dental election we're in full swing
today.
Both candidates have made their
own predictions of victory, and both
headquarters claim to be confident
Of success.
The Republican national commit
tee privately claimed last week a
basic minimum" of 301 electoral
votes for Hoover, and indicated to-
day it might make public estimate
over the weekend.
This may be greater or smaller
than the 301 which was chalked on
the secret tally sheet in Chairman
Works offices last week. Some
within the committee indicated to-
day the trend would probably be to
reduce the original estimate to a
minimum claim of 275 to 285.
Keeps Tally Methods Secret
Meantime, Chairman Raskob of
the Democratic national committee
declared Thursday in New York, on
the basis of national committee
mems reports, that Smith would
have at least" 268 voteS-two more
than necessary for election.
RaSkob many weeks ago esti-
mated Smith would have 300 cleo
toral votes.
Neither committee has revealed
details of how it arrives at its cleo
toral totals.
One possible combination by
which Hoover could receive 3O1 votes
would be for him to win California,
Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada. New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mex
leo, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Da-
kota, Rhode Island, Tennessee and
Kentucky.
In some of the states named above
both sides claim victory and the
list is not intended as other than a
mere tabulation of a group that
would yield 3O1 votes if they all
went for Hoover.
The same applies to the follow
ing possible combination for Smith,
yielding 268 total if he were to win
all named.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. % tP--i
The United Mine Workers of America
were given the first chance to present
their side OF the wage dispute OF
nearly a years duration between
miners and bituminous operators in
this field when the sub committee Of

mittee today opened their inspection
of conditions in mining camps.
The committee, consisting OF Sen
ators Gooding, Idaho, chairman;
Pine, Oklahoma; Wagner, New York,
and Wheeler, Montana, arrived i'll
Pittsburgh early this morning from
Washington and went into action
Immediately. One of the first acts
was to deny the request of J, D. A.
Morrow, president OF the Pittsburgh
Coal company, and Horace F. Baker,
president of the Pittsburgh Terminal
Coal corporation, the fields two larg-
est operating concerns, when the
officials asked that officials OF the
United Mine workers be prohibited
from entering upon their property,
which is worked on non-union
basis.
Chairman Gooding, in a statement
issued following a conference with
the operators, said the committee
could not agree to this because
it felt a full inquiry could not be
made without having representatives
Of the union along with them.

eyes of woman whom murder had
made widow brought the confession
of one OF the young killers to the
witness stand in the Hickman-Hunt
trial today.
From Frank Dewar. chief jaileT of
the county Jail where William Ed
ward Hickman and Welby Hunt are
confined during their trial FOR the
Staying Of G.. Ivy Toms, Rose Hill
druggist, in an abortive hold-up OF
his store Christmas eve, 1925, the
jury heard the story OF how Hunt

holdup and murder Then Mrs. Toms,
widow OF the slain pharmacist, was
brought to the county Jail and he
was confronted with her. His denials
melted as he saw the woman wnom
a bandits bullet had bereaved and,
said Dewar, Hunt exclaimed:
"You could beat me to a pulp and
I'd not admit a thing, but when
saw that little woman give in. 1
was with Hickman in that drug
store"
AS Dewar repeated Hunts words
Mrs Toms, seated in the body of the
court, burst into tears.
E. j. Oliver, patrolman OF the Los

Oliver, who had been on the stand
Yesterday, resumed his testimony to-
day. He was in the store Wnen the
pair OF bandits entered. Hickman,
ne said, showed gun into his ribs
and told Hunt to get the officers
weapon.
The patrolman, however, was too
fast for the pair OF amateur holdup
men. He stepped behind medicine
case and pulled his automatic.
Then, Oliver declared, Hunt opened
fire, land Hickman's pistol joined in
the volley. Hunts first shot wounded
the officer in the hand and later
one from Hicknan's gun tore a hole
in his uniform coat, grazing his
stomach.
Toms fell, mortally wounded afseZ

that he and Hickman were the two
who entered the store; but he refused
to assume blame for the killing OF
the druggist, saying that he had not
fired shot from his gun I4
Although the statement was read
to the jury, Hunts attorney prevented
it being included in the records OF

G. REMUS BEARS
LIFE ST DRY in
FREEDOM FIGHT

LIMA, Ohio, Feb. % R-George
RemuS laid bare his life story today
when he took the stand in the hear
ing on a writ of habeas corpus, seek
ing his release from the state hospital
for the criminal insane here, on the
grounds of faulty commitment papers.
RemuS was sent here after he had
been found not guilty of the murder
of his wife, Imogene, in Cincinnati,
on the ground of insanity.
In an even, unruffled tone, Remus
told how, as a young man, he pur-
chased a drug store in Chicago, sold
it and invested the money in Chicago
real estate which later netted him a
profit of $4,000 How he then
practiced law and defended Is murd-
ererS in one year, but gave that up
and commenced defending bootleggerS,
finally entering that business himself.
The state continually sought to
elicit from him admission that ne had
quick temper and was often IN
volved in court actions. He admitted
being cited, but excused himself on
the ground that "it is sometimes
profitable to argue with courts and
juries," and he denied the quick
temper testified to in letters written
about him by other persons, which
were introduced by the state.
When Walter K. Sibbald, assistant
prosecutor, asked him il he believed
himself sane, Remus replied: Direct
ly or indirectly there is no trace OF
insanity in my makeup.
Legally I am unable to reconcile
the fact that during my trial you
contended / was sane, and now you
turn around and insist that 1 am
insane"
Sibbald asked him ii he had at
tempted to appear insane at his
murder trial i'll Cincinnati, Remus
said he had not, and that his defense
was "momentary insanity at the
time he shot his wife.
When court recessed tonight his
testimony was far from complete.

The planes of Colonel Lindbergh

The purpose of Colone Lind
