FAMOUS THAW
LAWYER DEAD

Santa Monica, Cal. Apg. 2.-tP'-
Death has taken Michael Dedmas,
the fighting little Frenchman who
went east in 1907 to act as chief
counsel in Harry X. Thaw's famous
murder trial.
The brilliant intellectual who
coined the word "dementia Amer
icana" as descriptive of the "un-
written law" defense before the
Thaw Judy, died yesterday at his
home here. He was S4 years olds
and had ceased active practice only
a few weeks before. Heart trouble
was the cause Of death.
The attorney was particularly ac-
tive in the nineteenth century in
prosecuting the Southern Pacific
railroad. and bcause Of his usually
successful damage suits, was said to
have been offered 100000 by that
corporation not to accept any more
such suits.

AL TURNS EYE
ON FARM VOTE
Nominees Political Advisers
Tell Him He Can Garry
Rural States

New York, Aug. 2.-CP-After I
two-hour conference today Will
George N. Peek, a farm leader from
Iowa. Governor Smith reiterated
that he stood on the farm plank OF
the Democratic platform and indi
Gated that he had not yet worked
out in his own mind how agricultural
SURPRISES should be handled for the
benefit Of the farmer.
The Democratic presidential nom.
inee declared that in carrying out
MS plan. if elected. to obtain the adj
vice of farm leaders and economists
on working out the surplus problem
he would call on Republicans like
Frank O. Lowden Of Illinois, as well
IS Democrats. to assist him.
At the breakfast table in his suite
at the Biltmore Governor Smith
talked over the farm problem with
Peek, who is one of the leading
champions of the McNary -Haugen
kill, vetoed by President Coolidge
After their talk the governor issued
a formal statement. in which he
made no reference to his views on
the equalization feature Of that
legislation.
Mr.. Peek was beaming as he
emerged from Governor Smiths
suite. He said he would prepare a
formal statement which would set
forth his intention in the campaign,
and probably would give it to the
press during the afternoon. Until
then. he explained. he would have
nothing to say.
The New York governor and Peek.
who has been in conference here for
several days with Democratic lead
ers. had breakfast alone.
The text Of the governors state
ment follows:
after my talk with Mr.. Peek !
am more than ever satisfied that the
Democratic platform soundly de-
clares the fundamental basis for re-
lief of the appalling agricultural
distress which not only threatens the
farmer himself but is destroying the
farm market Of ten billions of dol
lars for the industries of the coun-
try. Control Of the sale of agricul-
tural surplus is recognized by our
platform as an essential need. its
cost to be imposed on the unit to be
benefited. That principle is fixed
upon our platform, on which l stand
only the details of its accomplish
ment remain.
"As I have said / shall immedi-
ately if l am elected ask the best
farm leaders and economists to work
out this detail with me. l shall ask
them to serve irrespective of local
ity or party. Republicans, like Gov
erno- Lowden. as we'll as Democrats
who have studied this problem, will
be called upon by me for this patri-
otto service. I shall discuss this
question at length in my acceptance
speech"

LOUe DeadIine:
And Now That Reminds
Ring Lardner of a
Scotch Story.
BY RING LARDNER

PROFESSOR DURANT'S pro-
Il nouncement, which started this
brawl, reminds me of the familiar
story of the two Scotchmen, all
named Sandy. 1t seems that one of
them was walking along the main
street of Glasgow without an UNI
brella in a driving rainstorm. He
was arrested by BARN policeman
and locked up in the kiltie (1aiD.
He sent for his friend Sandy.
"Weel, weel, Sandy" said Sandy,
"wot be you-all dom in the kiltie?
"Ah be here for trekkin' in de
rain wi no umbrella" said Sandy.
But, mon, they Gamma put We in
Jail for dot" demonstrated Sandy.
They Gamma, but they hae," breed
Sandy.
A man, says DR.. Durant, can not
fall in love after the age of thirty.
All right; he can't. But does he?
l will recount a case which recently
came under my personal observation
and leave the answer to the jury
that tried Remus.
FORGE GADGET was a Junior
NJ at Groton. 1t seemed kind of
funny calling him a junior, because
he was Seventy-three years old. He
had been a student at Groton for
fifty-nine years. He wasn't as dumb
as this sounds; he merely was eco
nomical
Staying there saved him the ex-
penSe of going back to reunions.
And besides. his instructor in SPELL
ing, who was a great hockey fan
and loved to see Groton win, kept
flunking him so he couldn't grad
uate and leave the school without
capable goalie.
Gadget had been goalie on the
varsity team for half a century and
during the last twenty years of this
period, none of Groton's opponents
had been able to shoot the puck
through his beard for a goal
Gadget never had gone with girls.
He was looked on by his buddies as
a misogynist. 1t was a great surprise
to them, therefore, when he got up
in reading class one morning and
announced his engagement to Miss
Hazel Taffeta of Laudanum, N. j.
Miss Taffeta was an alumnae of
Bryn Mawr. where she had been a
ClaSsmate of Jane Adams and Mrs.
Whiffen. She was now 81 and Dart
mouth just had elected her snow
queen of its winter carnival. In full
fillment of her duty in seeing that
the snow was kept off the streets
of college towns, she visited Groton
and met Gadget.
Hello, grille" said the latter.
Hello. goalie," said Miss Taffeta.
Il hear you are misogynist,"
And 1 hear you are a confirmed
spinster," retorted Gadget.
Let's celibate," suggested Miss
Taffeta.

lery, but in less than a week their

CARSON CITY, New, March g.

However, the house leaked and at

correspondent was overcome by the
lethal fumes.
Other purposes will be served by
the new structure. 1t will be re-
moved from the center of the prison
yard. which is a large excavation in
sandstone formation, and placed
near the cliffs that form the walls
of the prison,
The move will prevent necessity of
a long death walk from the cells to

Prison officials also believed that
moving the house would facilitate

The proposed house will be
smaller than the one now used,
