Missouri Senator to Take
Active Part in Drive

DRY LAW BIG ISSUE
BY FOSTER EATON
ed Press STAFF Correspondent

United Press STAN Correspondent
ST. LOUIS, July "a veteran
campaigner, whose political motto
reads ITO the End of the Road"
swung aboard a train here today
bound for Albany, N. Y, to confer
with the man who defeated him for
the Democratic presidential nom
nation.
James A. Reed, senior United
States Senator from Missouri, was
in telephonic communication here
Sunday with Governor Alfred E.
Smith at Albany and accepted the
party nominees invitation to join
this weeks conference of leaders at
New York.
"Now that the storm of battle is
clearing away" Smith wrote in a
letter of invitation to Reed, 81 hope
that I can prevail upon you to spend
a night at Albany at the executive
mansion and confer with me on the
conduct and issues of the campaign
in which we are all engaged to-
gether."
Will Take Active Park
Reed is expected to take an active
part in the campaign. Before the
Houston convention he avoided
commenting on the prohibition
issue, stressing official Republican
rascality,"
Since the Smith wire to the con-
vention after the nomination, how
ever, Reed said Prohibition now is
injected definitely into the cam
paign and can not be avoided"
Recent activity of Reed here in
dicates he believes prohibition will
be at least of equal Importance with
the honesty in government" issue
which featured his pre-convention
campaign.
Last week he launched cam
paign designed to solidify wet
Missouri sentiment behind the
United States senatorial candidacy
of James A. Collett, a lifelong
friend, in opposition to Charles M.
Hay, dry Wilsonian Democrat and
Reeds most bitter political enemy in
Missouri.
Tariff Is Minimized
In a statement issued exclusively
to the United Press Saturday, Reed
charged that efforts of the Repub-
lican national committee to sub
merge prohibition as an issue
smack more of political chicanery
than Of craftsmanship"
He declined to say specifically
what he felt was the most inpor-
tant issue in the campaign, but in
dicated that if he took the stump he
? would combine an attack upon
prohibition with a plea to turn the
rascals out"
He mininlized the Importance of
the tariff of the tariff as an issue.

HICKMAN HANGED
FOR Staying GIRL
Neither Father Nor Attorney
Attends Execution of
Youthful Murderer.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Calf,
October 20.-William Edward Hickman
paid his legal debt to the State of Cali
fornia here yesterday when he was
hanged for the murder of 12-year-old
Marian Parker, Los Angeles school girl,
last December.
Hickman was hanged at 1910 am,
and Is minutes later was pronounced
dead. The youths neck was not broken
as is usually the case; he was strangled
to death. This was because at the last
second before the trap was sprung he
began to collapse, shortening the dis
lance of his fall.
Marching with steady step the 80
steps or more from the condemned cell
to the gallows and up the 10 steps of
the scaffold to the trap, he smiled faint
ly as the moose was adjusted around his
neck, and with palms appraised together,
whispered hurried prayer.
AS the black cap was placed over his
head, the prison chaplain, Rev. William
A. Fleming, read the litany of the dead.
Warden James B. Holohan waved his
arm, and three convicts, inclosed within
box-like superstructure over the scat
fold, cut three ropes, one of which re-
leased the trap. Hickman's body shot
through the open space like a plummet.
Hardly tremor was visible in his body.
Less than half minute after the

slayer began his journey from the death
cell to the scaffold he was unconscious.
The action was so quick that many OF
the $50 spectators did not see the war
den's signal
Of the crowd that saw the execution
approximately so were newspaper men.
Two of the witnesses tainted.
After Hickman was pronounced dead
the body was turned over to San Fran
cisco undertaken, who said burial would
take place in Holy Cross Cemetery, San
Mateo, Calf.
The slayer's father, william Thomas
Hickman, did not attend the execution.
He came to California from Ell Paso,
Tex, made an unsuccessful appeal to
Gov. G. G. Young and Warden Holohan
to commute or at least delay the death
sentence until an examination could be
made by physicians with reference to
his sons sanity. Jerome K. Walsh of
Kansas City, Hickman's chief counsel,
also was not at the hanging.

nothing was known there of the muir
