CAROLINA CALLING
 ID G0V. AL SMITH
Plans to Spend Vacation Period at ASbeYille

Albany, N. Y., April Pt-Freed from the cares of his last New York state legislative session. Governor Alfred L. Smith has chosen a spot in.the Carolinas as a suitable place to rest before he faces the derlo cratic national convention as can- didate for the presidential nomina- tion.
 Several weeks Of uncertainty over the place where he would spend his customary post-legislative vacation gave way last night to a decision by the governor 10 spend at least part of two weeks at the Biltmore Coun- try club at Asheville, N. C.-further south than he has ever journeyed before.
 The prospect Of warm weather, and plenty of opportunity for pur- suing his favorite rccreation-golf- rather than political expediency. in- duced the governor to decide on the south, he emphatically declared in
 making his announcement. Politics he asserted would find no place on | his vacation program, but, despite
 his promise. his party will include a number of newspaper correspon- dents from the New York capital who hope to ascertain how the poli- tical winds are blowing south of the
 Mason-DiNon line.
 The personnel of the remainder
 Of the governors party and the time of his departure from New i York state were still to be decided i today. The executive hopes to leave , not later than next Monday night,
 after spending Easter in Albany with his family. No members of the 1 family will accompany him. Pres
 ent plans call only for the inclusion ! in the party of several personal
 friends who usually journey with
 him on golfing excursions.
 Likewise the length Of the gov ernor's stay at Asheviile is unde- cided. If he finds too many invita-
 tions and proposed engagements 1 pouring in on him. as has been the
 case many times elsewhere. he may
 leave suddenly for a more secluded
 spot. He intends to return to AL

the organization candidates.

 The only other democratic contest occurred in the S3rd congressional district. comprising Oneida and Herkimer counties. where M. Will liam Bray. Oneida county chairman and T. Harvey Ferris of Utica, had a strong lead over their n-organi- zatlon opponents on the basis of early and incomplete returns. The opposition candidates, formerly Mayor Jeremiah Carroll of Rome and Thomas A. Mortimer of Utica, who were losing by three to one at midnight, based their stand on the failure of Frederick Gilmore. to be reelected mayor of Utica last year and the contention that the organi- zation had failed to give him proper support.
 The remaining republican contests were apparently decided in favor Of the organization candidates at an early hour today They were in the seventh district in Brooklyn. where complete returns gave Paul Windels o,2e0, I. D. Lipkowitz c.1S3. and Frank Doudera 1,l4l and in the 40th (Erie- -Niagara) district. where l06 out of 12S districts gave: Ed ward H. Butler. Buffalo, 6.eS3. and Paul Schellkopf of Lewiston Heights, 5,902. against 2,446 for Dr. George s. Holibe of Lewiston, the non-or- ganization candidate.

Automatic Vending
 Machine Also Talks

New York, April 4 R-The au- tomatic vending machine has grown up and learned how to talk.
 Vending machines that say. Thank you" and repeat the sell ing slogan of the brand of cigaret purchased as they deliver the goods were installed in Herald square chain store today.
 To obtain a package of cigarets the customer has only to drop the proper number of nickels in a slot and the machine does everything but slap him on the back and ask him how is his family.
 One slight drawback, or advan- tage. according to the point of view. is that the machines have no teeth with which to test coins by biting them and would apparently say. Thank you." just as sweetly for trickle of plugged nickels as for coins that would pass as legal tender.

RECORD NUMBER 0F
 MAJOR ACCIDENTS
British Hunting Season Featured
 by MShaps

London. April fUP)-Much blue and red blood has been spilled dur Ing the present hunting and steeple- chase season.
 Princes, potentates, lords, ladies and commoners have come croppers in a record number of casualties.
 Horses representing tens of thous- ands Of dollars in value have been destroyed.
 So far as is known there have been only two deaths in the hunt ing field this season. The more tragic of these was that of Lady Victoria Bullock. only daughter Of Lord Derby. The other was that of James Lewis, an octogenarian rider to hounds well known in hunting circles.
 Figuring prominently among those who have had accidents during the last few months are the Prince of Wales. Prince Henry, the Maharajah and Maharanee of Cooth- Behar. the Duke of Beaufort, Earl Beatty, Lord Barnard, Lord Wodehouse, Lady Currie, Lady Mary Scott and host ci lesser lights"
 Archway Proves Fatal
 Lady Victoria Bullock fractured her skull while out with the Quorn hunt It was thought that her head came in contact with an archway. The Prince Of Wales and Prince Henry were in the field at the time
 James Lewis was missed during a run with Sir Edward Curries hounds at Chepstow. His rlderless horse was found. and later his body. It was thought that he had been thrown.
 The list of eplechasing acc- dents is no less long, although in sport where a fall is all more or less in the days work. the casual ties were confined chiefly 10 the animals.
 Within the past two months alone there have been 14 fatalities among race horses. Most of them have been in the plating class except White Park, who was entered for the Grand National and was worth about s25,000. It is noteworthy that these accidents occurred on race tracks in the south and midlands. and in this connection. 1t is a fact that there have not been many horses actually killed on the Aintree track where the Grand National was run last week.
 Wales Horse Destroyed
 The mishap to the Prince of Wales occurred when his horse. March Maid. stumbled on stake during a run with the Quorn. The prince was only shaken but March Maid had to be destroyed.
 Prince Henry took a toss when his horse fell and shot him out of the saddle while hunting with the Quorn. The prince was not hurt and soon remounted on another horse.
 The accident 10 the Maharanee of Fooch- Behar was of a more serious naturc. Her horse fell in collision with another and bringing the Ma haranee down with him rolled on her. She sustained concussion. 8

bruised spine, and severe crushing. Three days later her son fell from his horse but was not hurt
 Bad weather and consequently bad going are given by many as a reason for these accidents. Much rain and snow have made the ground slippery and treacherous ever since December. only a month after the season opened In steeple- chase events 1t has caused many horses to be scratched.
 Speed q Cause
 Another reason. however. is more generally accepted in hunting and racing circles. It is that nowadays horses are forced along al much greater speeds and that obstacles are taken in q more reckless man. her than in the past.
 This, Curiously enough, is thought 10 be due to the growing number Of Americans taking part in the hunt meets and amateur steeple- ohases. It Is said that the Ameri- cans ride hard and fast with little thought as 10 what is on the other side of a jump. British riders have adopted similar tactics in order to be "in at the death" or among the first three.'

NEW YORK PARTIES ARE ALL READY NOW
Both Republicans and Democrats
 Set for Conventions

Albany. N. Y. April 1 PI-- New York states delegations to the republican and democratic national conventions virtually have been completed after spring primary election notable for the small num- Der of contests and the unanimity of sentiment for organization candi- dates
 With the primaries past, the re- publican delegation is complete and it's 90 members-S3 of them elected tsterday-Will go to the party's convention at Kansas City unpledsed to any presidential candidate. The seven delegates large were select cd by the state committee at re- cent meeting in New York city. A single step still remains to be taken by the democrats in the cleo ton Of four delegates-at-large and the SG delegates elected at yester- ] days primaries will attend the Hous- ton convention pledged to support 1 Governor Alfred E. Smith for the ! presidential nomination.
 1 The republican delega tes-at large are Cornelius N. Bliss and Charles H. Sabln of Nassau county: National 1 Committeeman Charles D. Hilles of 1 New York city and State Chairman 1 George K.

Shell of St. Lawrence l county, former United States Sena- tor James w. Wadsworth of Living ston county. and Miss Florence 1 Wardwell of Otsego county.
 None Of the three republican con 1 tests for district delegates or of the ! two democratic fights bore more than local significance although all represented bitter factional con- ! troVersies.
 The outstanding one on the repub. llcan side, resulted in victory for Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. president of Columbia university and Robert P. Lewis in the 18th congressional dis trict, comprising a portion of Man haitian. Dr. Buffers advocacy of repeal of the eighteenth amendment brought opposition from Dr. Thomas NJ. Balliet, former New York uni- versity faculty member. and Miss Lois E. Barr. who were defeated de- cisively.
 Complete returns from the 18th district gave Dr. Butler 3,346, Lewis 3,33s, Dr. Ballet S63 and Miss Barr S2s
 Of the democratic contests, the most important from the local view point was that in the 34th congress sional district. comprising counties of Broome. Otsego, ChenAngo and Delaware. where William r.

Program.

ANDERSON, w. Va, November 26.-
The Anderson Federal Industrial Insti-
tuition for Delinquent Women, built at
a cost of S2,250,00O, was formally opened
here Saturday when Attorney General
John G. Sargent presented symbolic
KEYS of the institution to the superin-
tendent, DR.. Mary B. Harris Federal
and state officials. national leaders of
women's organizations, prison welfare
societies and other associations were
present
The Attorney General paid tribute
to women of the country in brief out
line of events leading to the construc-
ton of the Anderson Institution, eStab-
lished as a means of seeking the re-
habilitation of women violating Federal
laws. Previously it had been the GUS
tom to confine such women in county
workhouses, reformatories or other
institutions.
Mr.. Sargent said Mrs. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney Cen
eral, and one of the speakers today,
had watched over plans for the AL
derson project and fought for it like
a mother would fight for her child" "
He said Mrs. Willebrandt hates sin,
but loves sinners"
Mrs. Willebrandt said 1t was now
recognized that greater reform might
be accomplished by bringing together
individual offenders and treating them
individually rather than treating them
a thousand different ways in dozen
institutions.
"At this institution" she said. IAN
opportunity is presented to correct the
evils whether they are physical dis
orders or mental maladjustment or lack
of opportunity. The inmates themselves
are brought in and asked to help study
their own cases and the absence of star
chamber sessions encourages the Of
tenders to live like useful persons"
The Assistant Attorney General said
the new system adopted at Anderson
would in the long run prove to be the
most economical, and instead of becom-
ing breeders of new recruits in crime
the women sent here would be made
protectors of society. Provisions have
been made at the institution to train
women sent there to become self-sup-
