Against 'Heflinizing' of Mis-
souri, in Speech

Kansas City, July 31.-R-Back
in his home town and state Senator
James A. Reed was plunged into the
state political campaign with the
declaration that Democratic state
nominees must be in harmony with
the ideas of Governor Alfred E.
Smith on prohibition.
Stating the nomination of Cover
nor Smith committed the party to a
policy of revision or repeal Of the

ator last night said the state must
nominate candidates who will adhere
to the national platform "clse the
party will be engaged in a joint de-
bate with ITSELF"
Speaking in behalf Of his friend,
James A. Collet, candidate for the
nomination to succeed Reed, "Mr.
Reed launched an attack on Collet's
opponent, Charles M. Hay, of St.
Louis, dry, who has declared he
stands for prohibition enforcement.
Smith Made Issue
"The Houston convention declared
simply for enforcement of the laws, "
he said. "If it had stopped there, it
could well be said there was no is
sue with reference to modification
Of the Volstead act. But, to remove
all questions, the convention was
held in session for the express pur-
pose of receiving message from
Governor Smith, and when it came,
it unequivocally declared for a modi-
fication.

RECLUSE HUT
SEARCHED
DEAD BODIES
Corpee of Miser's Sister Found
Hidden In Coffin Under
Bed

Chicago, July 81 August
Kessler's humble hut-a home, .
church and I mausoleum within four
tumbledown walls-may yield other
bodies besides that of his aged
cousin, Claudia Clara Helm. Police
with axes and spades were to learn
definitely today; then the place was
to be burned.
The body Of the 72-year-old woman
was found yesterday in q rough
coffin beneath Kessler's bed. She
had been dead since April. Kessler
said the body had been kept in the
hut because she had pleaded against
burial in the potter's field, and there
were no funds for burial otherwise.
Lieutenant Laird Of the county
police said there was much to be ex-
planned.
There was q peg-leg man." the
lieutenant said, ''old, like Kessler,
who lived with him and Claudia
until few months ago. The peg-leg
man disappeared-vanishing as COM
pletely IS though he had never ex-
isted."
Miser Hoard Sought
kessler today lay on . hospital
cot, suffering from wounds inflicted
when he was beset by two men and
Z woman Saturday. They had
sought to compel him to reveal the
hiding place Of . hoard they in
sisted existed. When he reiterated
that he was poor they attacked him.
Twenty-six years ago Kessler was
granted . permit to build q hut on
land which is now part Of Cook
county's forest reserve. He had come
here from Basle, Switzerland, after
failing to win ordination as Z priest.
Within the hut he erected IN altar,
and surrounded himself with icons,
religious books and paintings.

rest-Michael OFT and Mrs. Ellen

Kansas Editor Declines, How
ever, to Modify Statement
Smith Favored Saloon

New York, July 31.-C%-William
Allen White. Kansas editor, today
withdrew his charges against Gov
ernor Smiths legislative record so
far as bills governing gambling and
prostitution were concerned, because,
he said, he did not wish to question
the motive Of the Democratic presi-
Dental nominee.
While allowing his contention that
Governor Smith had consistently
voted for the saloon to stand, Mr..
White said of his other charges: II
could not in good conscience press
this issue, realizing that Governor
Smith. whom I greatly admire for
his many high qualities, feels that
my charges question the purity Of
his motives, which always should be
granted in any political contro-
versy."
Mr.. White said in his statement:
Yesterday. talking to Walter
Lippman of the World, a friend of
Governor Smith and Of mine for
many years. I learned that Governor
Smith was deeply aggrieved that I
should charge him with protecting
gambling and prostitution in his as
sembly record.
Stands Pat on Saloon
II can understand, after consid-
ering what Mr.. Lippman said, that
the governor, in casting those votes
against those reform bills, might
honestly have felt that the bills were
unconstitutional, or were not en-
enforceable, or infringed upon per-
sonal liberty, or encouraged police
blackmail.
"But Governor Smith certainly is
entitled to fair treatment. / always
have tried to fight fair. have
never consciously questioned any
mans motives: and 50 this morning,

come and before l know what, if any.

short time before his death. The
gun used in the staying was
found by police to have been
purchased in Miami, now the
home Of Capone.
Henderson's name came into
the case because of his friend
