Noted Criminal
Authority Dead
by United Press Leased Wire

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 27.-Dr.
Albert Schneider, internationally
known criminologist, dropped dead
here early today apparently of Il
heart attack.
His body was found prone on the
sidewalk by milk truck driver.
Coroner $ deputies who took it in
charge reported that cursory evi,
dence pointed to death of heart
attack or cerebral hemorrhage, but
an autopsy was ordered to determine
the exact cause.
Police advanced the theory that
the doctor may have taken a lethal
dose of some drug, as he was con
tinually conducting experiments
with unusual and rare drugs.
A few years ago he gained wide
publicity when he took dose of
"Kaapi, Il drug used by Indians
of the remote Amazonian region to
Danish fear when they go into bat
tie. The drug, he said, had no eff
feet on him.
He was professor of criminology
at University of California and was
Dean of the North Pacific College
of Pharmacy here.

Hughes Launches
Fiery Attack On
Smiths Pro gram
BY United Press Leased Wire

BUFFALO, Oct. 81. - Charles
Evans Hughes, former secretary of
state, launched an attack against the
farm relief, prohibition and water
power planks of Governor Alfred E.
Smith and the Democratic party here
last night before 10000 enthusiastic
listeners in the Broadway Auditori-
UNI.
Herbert Hoover, Hughes said, op-
poses state socialism, and recon-
mended Capitalization of govern
ment rather than forcing on a state
decision in matters that really de
manded the attention of the federal
government.
AS Hughes challenged Smith
statements on various questions fea-
turing the latest developments of
the campaign, the crowd cheered
! and interrupted him continuously to
voice its approval of his points.
The former secretary of state said
Smith s liquor policy was imprac-
ticable and he voiced his opinion of
the improbability of any possible
change in the 18th amendment to
meet Smith s program.
He centered his attack on the
Democratic nominee s views on pro-
hibition.
"Any battle in this campaign on
the 18th amendment is a sham bat
tle,' - he said.
"He (Smith) said he was being
called n Socialist - Hughes said
"And by implication he associated
what Mr.. Hoover has said with op-
position to practically every for
ward looking constructive measure
that means betterment of the
human element for % years. -
Hughes treated Smiths farm re
lief proposals as "nebulous' and
said they meant one thing in the
east and another in the west.

Smith GETTING
READY TO GIVE
ANOTHER SPEECH
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

New York, Oct. 27.-Gov. Alfred
f. Smith donned his brown derby
today to carry his presidential cam
paign into the heart of Pennsyl-
vania, a strong Republican state.
Electoral votes have been counted
there for 30 years and not single
Democratic candidate has received
enc of them, but Smith s managers
and local Pennsylvania leaders have
told him that this year he has the
chance to do what Democrats before
always have considered impossible
His special train will leave here at
80 p. II. (E. S. T.) arriving in Cam
den, n. j., across the Delaware river
from Philadelphia, where he will
head motor parade through Cam
den, across the new bridge, to his
hotel in the city Of the Republican
leader, William S. Ware.
Democratic leaders of Camden and
Philadelphia have warned him to
expect another demonstration like
the wild ones he received in Boston,
Providence and Hartford.
The governor spent this morning
polishing up the speech he is to de-
liver over a national radio network
from Philadelphia tonight, start
ing at 8 p. m. (E. S. T.) 1t is said
to be another broadside against the
personal campaign of his Republi-
can opponent Herbert Hoover and
the leaders associated with Hoover.
The Philadelphia trip takes the
governor into the final stage of his
presidential fight. Before he re-
turns to New York Tuesday he will
visit Baltimore for parade and
speech Monday. The swift thrust at
Pennsylvania and Maryland was de-
cided upon by the Democrats be-
cause of favorable reports from the
former state and some unfavorable
indications from the latter.
The anti-prohibition element is
reported strong in the industrial
centcrs of Pennsylvania, and ac-
cording, to Democratic sources the
Republican party has not fully re.
covered from the old Ware Mellon
fight.
Pennsylvania is the second
strongest electoral state. with 3s
votes compared to New York s 45
The Republican majority there il
the 1924 national election was
992 ,289.
