C.O.P.FLAYED
BY ROBINSON
CHAIRMAN
Warning Against Wet
Plank Sounded and
Plea Is Made For
Farm Aid Program

HOUSTON, Tex, June Ex-senator
Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas as
sailed the republican administration
Of the last seven years, warned
against inclusion of a wet" plank
in the democratic platform, and made
bid for farm support in his speech
accepting the permanent chairman
ship of the democratic national con-
vention here today.
The text is as follows:
The responsibility as we'll as the
honor associated with the chairman
ship of this convention is fully recog-
niZed. The obligation to serve with
patience and impartiality is readily
acknowledged. Seldom, If ever, have
the representative of the national
democratic party gathered under
more impressive conditions. We face
a notable political crisis. The exer-
else of sound judgment and common
sense in the nomination Of candidates
and the demonstration Of fidelity Ia
recognized party principles constitute
sane way to harmonize our differ
ences and are essential to success in
the approaching campaign.
Reform Party Mission
The democratic party has a mission
which has not materially changed
since the days Of jefferson. The ne
cessity for political reform is greater
now than ever before. Our party,
from its birth, has safeguarded the
rights Of the masses. IL has cham
pioned personal liberty and opposed
Capitalization. jefferson sought to
protect the unselfish against the en-
ployment of laws and government
agencies for private profit.
Jackson aroused the public to the
menace Of plutocracy. Cleveland
voiced resentment at the abuse of the
taxing power to enrich favored
groups BY the exploitation Of the
masses Wilson defined anew the
democratic ideals Of justice and
equality. Since its formation the
democratic party has labored to es-
tablish the doctrine that the funda-
mental function Of government Is 70
secure equality Of rights and oppor-
tunities for all citizens.
In this campaign the republicans
cunningly seek TO raise false issues
through which to win their way back
into public favor.
C. o. p. Indefensible'

the last seven years Is indefensible
from any standpoint. For corruption

A DIVORCE FROM

RICH HOBO MATE

Los ANGELES. June 27.-tP1-
Preference Of James Eads How,
millionaire hobo" for the camp
fire and can Of mulligan with his
pals of the road rather than his
own fireside and a dinner cooked
by his wife is set forth in the di-
vorce suit Of Mrs. Ingeborg j. How
on file here today.
The suit charges that the wealthy
man would rather live the life of
a hobo than make a home "and live
there in decency and cleanliness"
Not only that, according to Mrs.
How, but he tried to convert her
also to the hobo's life.
The suit discloses that the mil
lion" of the millionaire hobo"
probably falls considerably short Of
that mark. The community prop
erty she lists as $4,000 but How
also has an income that varies
from 5000 to $500 a month from an
estate-that OF his mother.

UNFAVORABLE
REPORT GIVEN
COAST CANAL
Col. Schley Opposed
To Extension Intra-
coastal Canal and
Arroyo Project

An unfavorable report on the pro-
posed extension of the intracoastal
canal from Corpus Christi to the
mouth Of the Rio Grande, including
the proposed extension up the Ar
royo Colorado TO the Missouri Pa
cific bridge at Harlignen has been
submitted to the board of army en-
gineers by Col. j. l.. Schley, district
engineer az Galveston.
Notices of the unfavorable report
we're received Wednesday by inter
ested parties in Valley. together
with notice that they might appeal
10 the board of army engineers at
Washington for modification or dis
approval Of the report.
Notices received from Col. Schley
state that his unfavorable report Is
based on the grounds: that large
part OF the commerce Of the district
to be benefited is unsuitable for and
will not seek canal transportation
and that the prospective commerce is
insufficient and too uncertain 70
justify at this time an expenditure
of the amount the proposed improve
ment would necessitate.'

letter continues, "that all interested
parties have the privilege Of an APP
peal from this conclusion 70 the

Speaking to re- porter concerning an item in last weeks Sentinel wherein MT. Brinley was quoted as saying that he pro- posed to keep people away from the springs, even if he had to employ a Winchester, that gentleman said he didn't think he made any such re- mark. That what he did say or what he meant to convey was, that he did not want people to camp on the grounds where the refuse from the camp would contaminate the waters. Mir. Brinley further said that the proprietors of the spring desired the good will of the people of Wrangell, and would be pleased to see them over there at any time.

 The Ketchikan Journal says the Loring cannery is doing big work again this year, having made some thing over 90,000 cases up to the close of last month, 35,000 of which are reds. The chances are this can nery will exceed last years pack to the extent of several thousand cases
 The Bristol Bay canneries, it is said, will this year turn out about 900,000 cases of salmon, which is considerably less than last years pack. The canneries at Igagak and Ugashik were this season prepared to put up 250,000 cases of salmon, but do not now expect to exceed 65,- 900 cases owing to the scarcity of salmon. Red salmon have not put in an appearance at either of these places this season. At Nushagak, Koggiung and Haknex the run of salmon this year Is about normal. The Union Packing Go. of Tacoma have this year established at Koggi- ung about five miles above Haller- vile, and will have an output of about 10000.
