tattered, on the backs of the ignorant
many in the next, declared Dixon Ryan

SALE is DISCUSSED.
Prussia Is Not in Position to Bid
for Guelph Treasure.

BERLIN, December 20 OP).-The re-
ported authorization of the sale of the
Guelph treasure in the United States
for $1O,0O0,0OO was made a matter for
question in behalf of the Peoples party
in the Prussian Diet today. Premier
Braun replied that the state ministry
had looked into the matter, but the
financial condition of Prussia did not
permit making bid for the treasure.
The Guelph treasure is a collection
of early hand-wrought jewels and furni-
ture inherited by Ernst August, former
Duke of Brunswick and husband of
the only daughter of the former Kaiser,
from the Dukes of Cumberland. The
former duke is reported to be hard
pressed financially and so to have con-
sented to sale of the collection. For
some years it has been in Switzerland.

Western Hemisphere or of the world.
1.-THE United States had the doubt
full distinction last year of reporting
$4,000 cases of smallpox, greater
number than any other country in the
world from which reports were re-
ceived except India. This was due to
the neglect of the people to employ
vaccination and was an illustration of
the opportunities afforded the institute
for great reduction of disease"

STRAW VOTE PUTS
 HOOVER IN LEAD
utauy Digest Yots ShoTs Him
 Ahead in 4S States

Hoover is leading in six of the ten states h the 'solid South" aa more than 3.5oo.ooo returns from all of the forty-eight states are re- ported in The Literary Digest's huge national presidential poll which ia published today.
 With the vote announced as not yet completed. Smith is carrying only Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, while Hoover has substantial margins over his rival in the democratic strongholds of Florida, North Carolina. Texas and Virginia and sparing leads in Alabama and Arkansas, which leads. The Literary Digest classes as doubt full.
 Holds Border States
 The border states of Kentucky, Maryland. Oklahoma and Tennessee give the republican candidate a comfortable plurality.
 Of the total of 2.529,ss7 votes returned in this fifth weeks tabula- tions of The Literary Digest's poll, Hoover has 1.5s3.436 while Smith has s10.234. This gives a percent- are of e3 for Hoover and 36 for Smith, which is almost the precise ratio of last weeks returns.
 Hoover at present shows a lead in this "straw poll' in several of the states that are generally con- sidered doubtful, as in Wisconsin, where he is ahead by 31,351 to 21,Sl7: in North Dakota, where he leads by 5,40s to 2,s03; in Minne- sota, where his ratio is 52,SS2 to 23,021: and in Montana, where he is polling s.750 to Smiths 3,152.
 Leads in the East
 The republican candidate is lead ing in returns from all the eastern states from Maine to Delaware by ratios of to and to 1 except in New York, where, though he has a substantial lead in the state as a whole. the New York city vote is strongly favorable to the democratic side, showing Smith with 130,S22 to Hoover's 93,974. ..u...
 An analysis of "how the same voters voted in 1924" offers the sig nificant shift that for the first time since this postcard election" was started Smith is polling more of his strength from voters who state that they voted democratic in the last presidential election than those who have changed from republican ranks, although the difference is rather slight Previously he has had in his column more 1924 re- publicans than 1924 democrats.
 In the South
 In the South Hoover is indicated as obtaining the better part of his support from democratic sources in the states where he shows lead.
 In individual polls of Chicago and Philadelphia, where the entire registered electorate is being boiled. the same as in New York city, Hoover shows an advantage of e3,:ss to 67.s4s in the Illinois me- tropolis and 6S,495 to 47.810 in Philadelphia. Against this Smith ts shown polling more of his strength from former republicans than from previous democratic voters in both of these cities.

 Representative Voting
 with the present tabulation the returns may bs considersd for the first time fairly representative of the country as a whole. Tho division of the vote is slightly more favor able to Governor Smith than in the earlier tabulations.
 "The widespread brsaking down of political fences, noted through out the previous reports, is even more evident in the present tabula- ton. It may be observed. however. that with fuller reports from the southern states there is an increas- ing switch of democrats to Hoover. along with Mr. Smiths increasing suffrage from former republicans
 The Switched Votes
 For the first time in the poll. it will be noticed, Governor Smith draws more of his support from democrats of 1924 than from re- publicans of that year. He still has 334,s31 of these switched votes. as against 233,555 former democrats who are now for Hoover.
 "The shift of former republicans, several authorities agree. means merely that democrats who voted for Coolidge in 1924 arc now re- turning to their home camp. but the fact remains. of course. that there has been a switch since 1924"

UNIQUE BURIAL FOR
 AGED MISSISSIPPI MAN
New Orleans Italian Wanted Ashes Strewn in Father of
 WaterA

or the StranseSt DuTldIS ever per- formed in the south has just come to light here following instigation of litigation by one of the disinherited heirs to the estate of the late Louis Cignoni, 91, we'll to do real estate owner, who died here on January 27, after leading q hermit-like life for years.
 As provided in the will of the aged Italian. friends quietly took his body to St. Louis for cremation. The ashes were returned to New Orleans and the same friends carried the small urn-container out in the Mississippi river on a ferry boat and cast its contents into the water after which the urn itself was sent to the bottom of the Father of Waters. No religious or other ceremony was held. which was in accordance with tho dead mans wishes.
 Scores of passengers on the ferry looked in wonderment, unaware that they were witnessing strange burial service.
 Cignoni had lived in New Orleans since 1S49 after coming from Italy and had told friends that he came to the city by tho river and wished to depart by the same route.
 Cignoni had complained that his two daughters whom he had not seen in 35 or 40 years, had deserted him in their youth. and married. He thus made no provision for them in his will and it was the suit filed by one of the long-absent daughters. now a resident of Portugal, to nullify the will that brought to light the strange burial service.
