GOVERNOR SMITH REPUDIATES
THE McNARY-HAUGEN BILL

Gov AL Smith, of New York, late last week
threw another monkey wrench into the Democratic
platform adopted at Houston.
Following the convention Frank Murphy, Tom
Cashman and Frank Day, of Fairmont, were loud
in their praises of the farm relief plank, claiming
that the McNary-Haugen principal had been in
dorsed and they perfectly happy.
George N. Peek, of Illinois, chairman of the
committee of 20 appointed time ago by
Northwestern governors to try and bring about leg
slaton in congress for relief of agriculture, held
a conference with Mr.. Smith in New York several
days ago. Following his visit he gave out the
statement that the Governor in favor of the
McNary- Haugen BILL and he straightway endeavor-
ed to tie up his committee to the support OF Mr..
Smith.
The reaction was pronounced and interviews
with the personnel of the committee indicated that
not more than four of them were willing to follow
Mr.. Peek.
Since the meeting with Gov. Smith it has de-
veloped that Peeks opposition to Hoover is person
al. 1t is matter of record that following the
Peek endeavored to force the price of farm pro-
ducts down. He became such nuisance in his de-
partment that President Wilson was compelled to
remove him in order not to hamper the work Mr.
Hoover was doing to maintain the price of the pro-
duct of the farm.
Mr.. Smith stated Thursday that "the plan for
applying the principal contained in the McNary
Haugen bill was not acceptable to him"
In taking this stand Gov Smith is absolutely
honest and consistent every utilization he has
had has been Industrial and naturally he desires to
the residents of the Eastern centers of popuIa
ton buy their foodstuffs at the lowest possible
prices
Following Mr. Smiths declaration the Friday
issue of Mr.. Days Fairmont Sentinel had the fol-
lowing editorial comment:
yesterday Minnesota was for AL Smith by
comfortable majority. Today, with his rep
udiation of the McNary-Haugen BILL his vote
would hardly furnish wadding for an old fash
Toned shotgun.
Gal Smith and all his imps may go to the
devil, so far concerned. We've al
ways fought them, always despsed them and
their principles and methods.
''To al Smith: Blankety, blank blank blank
owe would sort O. like to get into closet
with Frank Murphy and Tom eastman. We
sure do need sympathy"
Just to keep the record straight the Herald
predicts that Frank Day and his Sentinel will be
supporting Gov. Smith again within period of Is
days. because Frank is consistently inconsistent

minds about participating in the party,
however, and were permitted to leave.

24-HOUR SANITARIUM
Wants "Any Workable Plan" to
Care for tuberculosis
Children.

The board yesterday went on record
as favoring "any workable plan" by
which tubercular children of the Dis
trict could receive 24-hour sanitarium
treatment. At its meeting two weeks
ago the board withheld action on a
report Of DR.. Ballou expressing op-
position to the changing of the present
health schools into virtual sanitariums
by establishing a 24-hour schedule in
place OF the present school-day hours
The Association for the Prevention of
tuberculosis was active in urging the
24-hour plan, but because of technical
difficulties of administration DIR. Ballou
opposed the scheme as it then existed.
Following the action of the board
yesterday, DIR. Ballou announced that
he is entirely in sympathy with the
action the board has just taken: there
is real need for such sanitarium" D"

District Commissioners yesterday that

GENERAL DEPLORES
LACK OF ARMORY
Hammond Tells Veterans of
Foreign Wars Government
Breaks Own Rules.

Failure of the Federal Government to
provide an armory for the District of
Columbia National Guard was criticized
by Maj. Gen. c. G. Hammond, chief of
the Militia Bureau, at a banquet of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars in the
Hamilton Hotel last night in honor of
their new commander chief, Lieut..
Eugene P. Carver, jr., of Boston.
Declaring that "it is shame" that
the District has no armory, Gen. Ham
mond said the Federal Government will
not recognize State national guard
until the State has erected an armory
for housing the guardsmen, adding that
the National Government does not iol-
low its own regulations-the District
coming under the jurisdiction Of the
National Government.
Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, COM
mander Of the District of Columbia
National Guard, had previously told OF
his efforts to secure an arnory here,
adding that his efforts last year were
blocked by Senator and a Representa-
tive. He expressed the hope, however,
that he will have better luck.
Col. E. j. Ijams, assistant director OF
the United States Veterans Bureau,
stressed the need of an adequate ma
tional defense.

was one of the finest ships he ever
sailed. :.
Carlos Quiros, chancellor of the
Argentine consulate, who was a paSsen-
warned by friends that she was unsea-
worthy before he booked passage. He
produced two letters which were read to
the court.
Two other passengers, M. Walcott OF
British Guinea and G. B. Do Vale, q
Brazilian, testified that the dangerous
condition of the vessel was apparent to
them long before the S sos was sent
out. They both criticized officers and
crew for the manner In which the life
boats were lowered. They said the boats
were not properly manned by members
Of the crew after launching.
In contrast to the testimony of sew
eraI of the passengers that the lifeboats
were leaky and in poor repair the four
officers of the American Shipper, the
boat which rescued over 100 of the
passengers and crew, testified that the
boats from which they took survivors
appeared to be in excellent condition.
Capt. Schuyler Cummings of the Amer
ican Shipper said they appeared to have
withstood "a hours battering by the
sea in fine shape. They were not taken
aboard, he said, because he did not
want to overwork his tired crew.
