ington, Oct. 16. - @ - Herbert
Hoover is returning to his head
quarters today from New England
after his most strenuous single day
Of campaigning since his nomination
as the Republican presidential can
|didate for president.
Invading Massachusetts,, which
the Democrats have claimed as their
territory, Hoover was greeted by
enthusiastic crowds from the time
he entered the state in the early
morning hours until he boarded his
snecial train for the return trip to
Washington late last night.
Leaders Of the Republican party
estimated that upwards Of q quar-
ter Of q million people saw him in
the more than dozen cities through
which he passed. These leaders
said that the visit Of Hoover not
only should stimulate the party or
ganixation to greater efforts but
also would have its effect on the
fight to keep Massachusetts in the
Deliyers Six Speeches
During his day in the Bay State
Hoover traversed almost the entire
length Of the state and delivered
six speeches in addition to talking
briefly to ten different delegations
that called upon him at the home Of
Governor A1van T. Fuller, whose
guest he was while in Boston. y.
His principal speech - the third
he has delivered east Of the Missis-
sippi was made at the arena in
Boston. II this he discussed the
tariff, foreign trade and merchant
marine and tor the first time hit
out at the Democratic platform pro-
posal for . competitive tariff" !"
This formula Of impost duties, he
said, would result In depresSion Of
American wages and American farm
prices.
His tariff declaration brought the
most vociferous applause that he
WAS accorded ct the arena, but no
less hearty was the greeting given
by an overflow crowd ct Symphony
hall when he declared there after
wards that this and other economic
issues called for the best thought
and energy Of government.
Asks Ticket Support
In his address to the overflow au-
dienoe Hoover called upon the peo-
pie Of Massachusetts to support not
only the national Republican ticket,
but also the congressional and state
ticket. IS
aIt il impossible to contemplate :
snccessful Republican administra-
tiou unless our states viii support

San Francisco, Oct. -16.-(AP)-
With scarcely = shred Of hope that
they would succeed, two defenders
Of William Edward Hickman headed
for Sacramento today to make q
final plea to Governor c. G. Young
Of California to save the murderer
Of 12-year-old Marian Parker, Los
Angeles school girl, from the gal
lows. Hickman is under sentence to
die in San Quentin prison Friday.
Participating in this last move to
stay the hanging was Thomas
Hickman, father Of theg condemned
youth, who left Los Angeles last
night for Sacramento. lt was ex-
pected that Jerome K. Walsh, Kan
sas City attorney, who led defense
forces ct Hickman's trial. would join
him at the state capital.
Nothing can come Of this confer
ence with the governor, Richard
Cantillion, Los Angeles attorney,
and I member Of the Hickman de.
Tense, said, adding that California
statutes forbid the governor to
grant Z communication Of sentence to
one twice convicted Of . felony,
Only by the consent Of . majority
Of the members Of the state .upreme
court, Cantillion saii, can the gov
ernor grant. = request for executive
clemency.
The elder Hickman told reporters
he intended to appeal for his son on
the ground Of insanity. Cantillion
said he believed Walsh would 1T
tempt to secure the consent Of su-
preme court judges and II successful
would ask the governor to appoint
three psychiatrists to examine the
condemned youth. The Los Angeles
attorney indicated that he held no
hope Of success for either course.
Meanwhile Hickman in San Quen-
tin has been busy dispatching let
ters to police chiefs IN the middle
west in which he has confessed 10
many burglaries and holdups COM
mitted IN 1926 and 1927.
Reports Of receipt Of nearly 4
dozen such letters BY chiefs in Ohio,
Texas, Kansas and Missouri have
been received here

DEATH OF MADDEN

Congressman Martin B. Madden
 of Illinois. whose career was sud- denly terminated by death, was an example of the rise of an immigrant boy 10 a position of trust and power
 in the nation.
 Born in England, he was brought
 to this country at the age of ten
 tcrboy in an Illinois stone quarry.
 Studying at night, he got on in the
 world. The story of his activities as
 a Chicago councilman. his defeat
 for the |. s. Senate, his election 10
 the House. and his position of in-
 fluonce as chairman of the commit
 tee on appropriations, is one of stimulating detail. His candidacy for speaker of the House. which came ili 1925, was due largely to the ene- mics he had made for his opposition to sundry keenly desired appropria- tions. which was penalty for stand- ing firm to his convictions that goy- crnmcntal economy is an essential of good administration He had no powers as an orator and his political leadership was due entirely to the detail work he yielded to govern mental problems He was one of the few congressman who took their du- ties so seriously as 10 remain in Washington during recess and labor upon governmental matters. That ossary. but it is the more colorful type who not only gain general at and approval. but rise to the greatest heights. The public cannot help associating coldness and austerity with the plodder, essential as he may be and valued as may be his services. Had Congressman Mad lrn possessed the ability 10 spell bind an audience, in addition 10 his other notable qualities. he no doubt would have climbed much higher turing his long public life.

1'Ht, RAIL DEAL.

l.. r. Lorce, president ol the Dela- cluded his hard fight to establish q fifth trunk line in eastern territory by selling the holdings of his system in the Wabash and Lehigh Valley to the Pennsylvania for sSS,oeo, ,ooo.
 Thus the possibility of a fifth trunk line goes glimmering, But the D. X II. made, s2o,ooo,ooo profit through the transaction.
 The four trunk lines--the Penn- sylvania, New York Central, Balti- more X Ohio and Nickel Plate-Will continue to dominate the eastern field, and they are expected to allo- cate the territory among themselves, with the approval of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The presi- dents of the four railroads have been holding meetings and they know just what they want and how to achieve it.
 All four railroads have been &C., ouirlng new railroads-on paper-to a remarkable extent.

A NOTABLE TRIBUTE

Floyd Bennett died as the result of. trying to succor the stranded ayiators on GreenIy island. He gave his life for others.
 It was q fitting tribute that Baron Huenefeld, Capt. Herman koehl and Major Fitzmaurice paid the memory of the flier when they went to Ar lington cemetery with wreath and placed it on the grave of Bennett. They insisted that this tribute should be the first Of their acts on the soil Of the United States. Thus worthy conquerors Of the ocean fogs and storms yield homage to a thy Gomrade of the air.

 The railroads, trolleys and buses seem able to navigate through day light time on q basic standard time day without disrupting the com- panies. New time tables go into force when daylight saving starts, and though the time Of arrivals and departures are given in standard time. everybody knows the actual operation coincides with prevailing daylight time.
 The only persons feeling q tenn porary inconvenience about ''fast time" are those who fail to turn their clocks forward an hour when they retire tonight, A tip to the wise should be sufficient.
