Endorsement of Dems
Farm-Relief Plank
Anglers Leaders

DES MONIES, Ia. July 4.-(Pl-
George n. Peek's appeal to farmers
TO vote the democratic ticket in
November-an appeal he made as
chairman Of the corn belt confer
ence's executive committee-was un-
der fire today from u. S. Senator
belt political leaders.
Senator Brookhart in a statement
yesterday charged that Peek had
played politics with the McNary-
Haugen farm relief bill in an effort
to win the republican presidential
nomination for Vice President Dawes.
Peek as manager Of the drafting
and passage OF the relief bill, delayed
pushing il in congress until May.
Senator Brokhart said. The bill
might have been passed, in the Iowa
senator's opinion, with a S7,000,000
appropriation.
''Mr. Peek, however, insisted with
out compromise on the equalization
fee which he knew the president
would veto" said the Brookhart
to keep it alive as the principal
Dawes issue.
with this background he went TO
Kansas City with a big bluff and got
his candidate dumped in the garbage
can. Mad to the core. he immediate
ly moved TO transfer the farm leader
ship to the democratic convention at
Houston"
Senator Brookhart added that he
stood ready to fight the Peek lead
ership "on any such platform in
every agricultural state"
Governor John Hammill Of Iowa
and Willis Stern, chairman Of the re-
publican state central committee.
also scored the Peek statement.

Ohio and north OF Maryland; mid
western headquarters in Chicago;
southern headquarters either in At
lanta or Mobile and western head
quarters in Denver. Plans for addi-

Los Angeles also are being consid-
cred.
George r. Van Nance, who man
aged the governors pre-convention

manager with ]. Bruce kremer. ma
tionaI committeeman from Mon
tana and former McAdoo leader fa-
vored for the Denver post. Fred W.
Johnson Of Wyoming, president of

dent club is also being considered for
the latter post.
Governor Smith is said to favor
giving the regional directors a free
hand in the conduct Of the campaign
in their territories. Friends close
to him say he will dictate the general
policies to be followed himself but
he feels that those familiar with con-
ditions in their own part of the coun-
try should be left free TO direct their
organizations without too many or
ders from national headquarters.
The governor and his running mate,
Senator Joseph T. Robinson Of Little
Rock, Ark, will meet for the first
time since their nominations at the
gathering Of the. national committee
here in July. Senator Robinson, from
his home in Little Rock, said he
would come 10 New York for the
meeting before going to Hot Springs
for the formal notification cere-
monies.
Senator Key Pittman Of Nevada,
chairman Of the committee which
drafted the platform at Houston -
going to Albany this week az the
governors request, TO talk over plans
for the formal notification there IN
August. Senator Pittman is TO make
the notification address.
Senator Pittman at Washington
said:
"Never have I known a man who
has appealed to the imagination Of
the American people or created as
much sentiment as Governor Smith
has. The American people know that
ne has an abiding sympathy for them
and this one trait in his makeup will
serve to start a democratic landslide
in November"

WILBUR ORDERS AN
 OIL INVESTIGATION
To Determine Whether English
 Company Own Fuel

Washington, Jan. 25 R-Secre- tary Wilbur has ordered an investi- gation to determine whether oil from naval reserves in California is being sold to the Royal Dutch Shell company. a British concern. by the Honolulu Consolidated Oil company.
 The secretary acted after he had received a report from Rear Ad- mral H. H. Rousseau, head of the navy's oil service, relating that such sales were being made. He ap- pointed Rousseau, Rear Admiral John Halligan, chief of the bureau Iof engineering. and Rear Admiral Edward Hale Campbell, judge ad- vocate general, to make the in. uuiry and consider remedial legis- lation for recommendation to con- gress.
 No Details
 Mir. Wilbur declined to go into details of the report except to say Ithat it included several recommen- dations by Admiral Rousseau, one 'of them that none of the products from navy oil reserves should be sold to 8 foreign corporation. He explained that the Honolulu con- cern is one of several holding leases to Reserve Number 2 in California, where oil production is continuous.
 The main question involved, he said, was the disposal of naval oil to foreign corporations, apparently for export to foreign countries.
 Knows NOt1sing'
 T know nothing" Mr. Wilbur said. about the relations of the Honolulu company to other com- panies except what I have called attention to in connection with the proposed investigation, namely, that 1t h reported that they are selling the products of the naval reserve and also the royalty oil which they are now purchasing from the gov ernment, to the Shell Oil company"
 It has been suggested. he added. that legislation prohibiting leasing of outside oil lands to foreign cor porations be extended to include the naval reserves, and that question will be studied by the three "ad- mirals

By CLARK KINNAIRD

By CLARK k1NNAlRD Staff Correspondent for Central
 Press and Herald
 Mt. Sterling. ky, Jan. 25-The highest Kentucky court is sitting in judgment on dogs life.
 The dog. 'kaiser Bill,' of the German shepherd breed, is accused of killing 36 sheep. That is a high crime in, Montgomery county, a sheep-r raising center. Bills" mis- tress, Mrs. Henry Gay, is determined that the dog shall not die for the crime of which he is accused. and stands ready to carry the battle for his life to the United States supreme court. Her affection or the canine is founded upon his heroic protec- ton in several emergencies of Mrs. Gays lttl daughter.
 w. B. White, attorney for Mrs. Gay, bases his appeal to Kentucky's g court of appeals on the ground that the constitution of the United States does not permit the willful execution of dumb animal for any crime. Be cause of this question being involved, friends of "kaiser Bill' hope to arouse national interest in his plight.
 Bill reared my daughter, Anna. I know she is safe when she is in his charge. A dog like that is not a killer" Mrs Gay declares.
 But the farmer whose sheep were killed is certain 'Bll' is the culprit. He gave a description of Bills har- ness and characteristics which led officers to identify the Gay dog as the guilty one.
 Out On Bond
 Two courts already have been the scenes of arguments for and against '"Bill's" execution. First, the county court. It decreed that the Gay child's faithful nurse should die, Then the circuit court, sitting here The judge decided that he couldn't save Kaiser Bill's' life. And so the case went to the state court of ap- peals at Frankfort. Meanwhile "Bill' is out on bond, attendinssto his daily duty of guarding the little Gay girl at play.
