outlying districts in her Kentucky cam
paign trip, and not in Louisville and
other large cit IS. The answer was that
Louisville is regarded as safely Repub-
1can by many thousands and that Mrs.
Willebrandt preaching the cause of pro-
hlbition was more effective in the rural
section. She makes a strong appeal to
the women. and it is to the women that
the Republicans are looking to swing
the vote for Hoover In November.
Other widely known speakers are
scheduled to stump the State for the
Republican cause in the final drive.
Mrs. Gertrude M Pattangall, former
Democratic national committeewoman
Tor Maine, but who came out for Hoover
after the nomination of Gov. Smith, is
to come into the State soon. and so is
Mrs. Palsy Wilson of New York.
Making No Promises.
Mr.. Craddock in his brief address
said he would do his best fos the Dis
trlct II he were elected to Congress
But am not making any promises, -
he said II am reminded of the fable
of the cat and the mouse. A mouse
fell In barrel of whisky and was GO
ing to drown. but a cat came along and
f1shed the mouse out The sat said,
Mr.. Mouse, I'm not going to eat you
now, but If / let you go now, you must
come back here at O'Clock tomorrow
and be eaten The mouse promised
to come back at the appointed hour,
but the cat waited long beyond the hour
and finally she saw the mouse high up
on one of the rafters. Why didn't you
come to be eaten, like told you to, Mr..
Mouse?' said the cat. I was so drunk
yesterday replied the mouse, that
didn't know what was saying"
Certain promises are being made now
by some of the candidates for ONCE,
continued Mr.. Craddock. but I never
saw the women of the State so aroused
as they are today. They don't want
man in the White House who will
bring back whisky"
Billy Sunday. evangelist, hammered
Gov Smith on the wet issue at a
meeting here In Louisville last night,
attended by more than 1000 persons.
And so the dry issue is being kept con-
stantly before the dry Democrats and
the women of Kentucky.

ITALY ASKS PARITY
IN NAVAL STRENGTH
Reply to Franco British Proposal
Viewed as Bid for Preponder-
ance in Mediterranean.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, october 9.-The Italian re-
ply to the Franco British naval accord
was delivered to the foreign Office today
The contents of the note, as announced
in Rome yesterday, express a desire for
Italian parity with any other European
continental power in naval armament
and favors gIobal tonnage limitation In
preference to limitation by categories.
The demand for parity with any other
continental power has stirred particular
interest, official circles saying that it
would work toward a situation that
would give Italy preponderating force
in the Mediterranean. France, the most
powerful of the continental nations,
needs to detail considerable part of
her feet to guard routes to her colonies,
whereas Italy's feet would be concen-
trated in the Mediterranean.

LIQUOR DEATH TOLL
. OF q SPURS PROBE
New York SpeakeaSies Are
Raided in Hunt for Sell
erS of Poison.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, October 9.-City and
Federal authorities joined today in seek
ing the source of the poison liquor
that in three days has taken 80 lives.
Acting under orders from Police
Commissioner Warren, police raided Is
alleged speakeasies on the lower East
side, where most of the deaths occur
red. Samples of the seized liquor were
sent to the city Psychologist for analysis
and the owner or person in charge Of
each place arrested
A specially qualified Investigator with
picked squad was sent out by Mai.
Maurice Campbell, Federal prohibition
administrator for this district, to CO.
operate with the police.
Mayor Wants Arrests.
Mayor Walker issued orders that
those responsible for the poison liquor
be apprehended and prosecuted. He
declared its distribution Is more than
violation of the volstead act and
amounts to homicide.
Meanwhile the bodies continued to
pile up a. the morgue, where autopsies
of 10 of the dead had shown that death
was caused by drinking wood or de-
natured alcohol
The policy of the Government in us
ing poison in denaturing alcohol was
asSailed by Dr. Charles Norris, chief
medical examiner of the city. Drink
ing Is suicide" he said, "but accidental
suicide. The ignorant, at least, should
be protected as far as possible from
poiSonS. invite both presidential can
didates to see the noble experiment in
determination"
Blames East Side Liquor.
Dr. Norris was sure that a flood of
poison alcohol had been loose on the
lower East Side and that none Of the
liquor sold in the better class speak
easies was responsible for the deaths
1T Is too expensive for the poor" IN
said.
Some of the prohibition agents view
ed the exceptional death toll as the first
results of their efforts to dry up New
York, the drive causing the lower class
speakeasieS to cut" their drinks with
denatured alcohol, which had not been
properly treated to remove the poison
The three-day toll in the city sur
passed the annual death toll from poi
son liquor for all but two years since
the prohibition law went into effect, 80
persons, according to police records, in
1919, and 20 In 1920. Last year there
were only IA deaths.

Of the youthful murderer.
Jerome Walsh of Kansas City and
his associate. Richard H. Cantillon OF
Los Angeles, viii leave Washington this
afternoon. They joined in a telegram
to the Governor of California which
asked for hearing on appeal for
executive clemency
Il feel that my associate and myself
have done all possible for our client
and have exhausted. every possible legal
remedy" said Walsh. I'VE will now
urge the governor to commute the
sentence. i !. -
Walsh Yesterday interviewed Justices
Van Devanter, BrandeiS and Suther-
land, urging each to grant him an APP
peal, insisting that Hickman had not
received fair and full trial. Today
he and his associate called upon JUS
tice Butler, but found him as unwill-
ing as the other justices to bring up
the case.
Failing in an appointment to see
Justice Stone, Walsh and Cantillon put
the case before Justice Holmes, who
also refused to interfere. They then
concluded it would be useless to see
the other four members of the court
and abandoned the plan.
