There is no demand in New
York for the application of
Puritan code of morals to stage
doings. There is evidently a
genuine belief that the drama

As a matter of fact, since
the producers forced this official

to one far-away observer that
they should be gratified that
somebody like Jimmy Sinnott

to pull out his blue pencil.

STOCKHOLM, September 90
The dream of DR.. Sven Hedin OF
erecting a complete Buddhist tenn
pie in Sweden as an archaeological
monument may be realized by the
noted Asiatic explorer, since the
Swedish Academy of Science has APP
proved his request for a government
fund of $147,000.
DR.. Hedin recently returned to
Sweden for a brief visit from the
inner regions of Mongolia, where he
has been active for two years con-
Quoting researches among the ma
tives. The appropriation will enable
him to continue his explorations an
other year or two.

Only O few minutes after the single

last night that he expected a delay of

OLD ORCHARD, Me-, September
2o.-Facing a delay of several days be-
fore they can make another attempt to
bridge the Atlantic, the Roma flyers are
preparing an inspection of the motor
which will disclose the ailment which
nearly plunged the plane into the sea
yesterday.
Cesare Sabelli, flight commander, said
last night that in all probability water
in the carburetor or some other minor
difficulty was responsible for the back
fire which bent the carburetor intake
and necessitated a return to Old Orch
ard after the plane had been less than
half an hour on her way to Rome.
Sabelli said that in his opinion there
was no serious defect in the motor. TIVE
days will be required, he said, for an in
spection and the installation of new
carburetor intake.

smoke poured from the exhaust II min

AL SMITH BANS
POLITICS FOR
NEXT TEN Days
Nominee Will Attempt to
Rest, but May Ponder
Acceptance Speech.
BY PERCY B. SCOTT
United Press STAFF Correspondent

ALBANY, N. Y, July 17.-Gov-
ernor Alfred E. Smith will try to
forget for the next ten days or two
weeks that he is a presidential
candidate or chief executive of this
State-and attempt to rest a bit.
While putting aside campaign
worries, the Governor will turn his
attention to his acceptance speech.
He will begin to gather data for
that address in which he will out
line his policies. The speech is ex-
pected to be made about the middle
of August.
Smiths engagement book carries
blank pages for the next ten days,
representing an effort to forestall
Interruptions this may prove effec-
tive. It may not. He also will can
eel one or two appointments for the
five days Immediately after the pro-
posed ten-day lay-off, if possible.
Prepares Acceptance Speech
The Democratic nominee is max
ing thorough preparations for the
composition of his acceptance
speech. The desk in his library is
being piled with data of all kinds
books and pamphlets on agricultural
problems, foreign affairs, finance and
the other problems of national gov
eminent.
Smith has no formal vacation
plans. He will be guided by his
mood. He may loaf about the exec
utive mansion most of the time, or
he may fish for few days, or turn
to the woods for relaxation.
George B. Graves, assistant to the
Governor, will take over the reins
in all matters except those which
law requires the Government handle
personally.
Drops Fishing Trip
Governor Smith had planned a
fishing party for today but this was
abandoned when movie photograph
ers demanded another day to COM
plete a series of the nominee. They
had expected to finish their work
/ Monday.
Campaign directors, meantime,
will begin to put the finishing
touches upon their plans in New
York today.
John ]. Raskob, chairman Of the
national committee, and Senator
Peter G. Gerry of Rhode Island,
chairman of the advisory committee,
were due back from weekend trips
for a series of conferences.

Fight for House of DaUid
Goes to Court to Garry on
as Leader of Late King
Ben'S Cult.

ByNEA Seruice
BENTON HARBOR, Mich, July
27.-The turmoil that King Een''
PurneE created during his life lives
after him.
The House of David. much-at-
tackled cult that the long-haired
leader took through an endless
round of trouble, notoriety and ais
sension, is still, in a ferment, al
though Purnell himself has been in
his grave for months.
Latest in the chain of rows to
disturb the colony is bitter fight
between king Ben's" widow, Mary
Purnell, and H. T. Dewhirst, lawyer
member of the sect, for control OF
the remnants of the opce-powerful
organization.
Protests Cult Literature
Dewhirst has been gathering the
reins into his hands. And now
Queen Mary" as the colonists used
to call her, has filed suit in the
Circuit Court here for an injunction
to restrain Dewhirst and his aids
from selling colony literature
which does not bear her name.
When Purnell lived, all the tracts
pamphlets and dodgers distributed
by the colony was in the name OF
MARY and Benjamin"
Mary's suit is counter-attack
to an offensive originally launched
by Dewhirst.
Voted to Gust Mary
The board of control, which Dew
hirst controls, not long ago voted
to GUST Mary as a trustee. The
three or four hundred members OF
the colony are said to be ABOUT
evenly divided on the matter.
Fist fights and rioting nave
marked clashes between the rival
factions and Governor Green of
Michigan is considering asking the
courts to appoint temporary re-
ceiver until present litigation in
volving the future of the colony,
now before the Supreme Court OF
the State, is decided.
Dewhirst came to the colony sew
eral years ago from California,
where he had been a judge.
