SIMMONS REVIEWS
ATTACKS ON SMITH
North Carolina Democratic Sena.
tor to Speak in Raleigh
Tonight.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RALEIGH, N. c.. October 25.-Sena-
tor F. NJ. Simmons will make his Sec
ond speech of the campaign against
Gov. Smith, the Democratic preSiden-
tial nominee, in the city auditorium
here tonight.
Senator Simmons made his first
speech against Gov. Smith in his home
town Of New Bern several days ago. He
charged the Democratic party was run
ming two-faced campaign, appealing
to the wet sentiment of the North and
East while trying to reconcile the dry
sentiment of the. South, and also de-
scribed the New York governor as the
Reputation candidate" saying he had
repudiated the platform on prohibition
and immigration.
On that occasion the Senator, who for
more than 80 years. was the recognized
leader of the party in this State, as
serted that victory for the Democrats in
the present national campaign would
spell ruin to the party.
A press dispatch published here to-
day announced that Senator Simmons
had agreed to deliver a speech in Flor.
ida under the auspices Of the Hoover
Democratic organization Of that State.
In his New Bern speech, and in his
previous announcements against Smith
the Senator did not indicate he would
vote for the Republican nominee. He
has been qucIsd as saying he personally
would not vote the Republican ticket.

ZEPPELIN DELAYS
TOUR OF MIDWEST
UnfavorabIe Weather Causes
Eckener to Postpone Trip.
Hopes to Start Today.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LAKEHURST, N. j., october 25.-
Baked by adverse winds and unfavor-
able weather reports from starting the
Graf Zeppelin on her Midwest tour last
night, DR.. Hugo Eckener today hoped
the start could be made this evening.
The postponement was made when
the Weather Bureau reported a low
pressure area over the Middlewest,
which DR.. Eckener felt was sure to
mean low clouds and low visibility, max
ing it difficult for those on the ground
to get a good view of the Zeppelin as
she sailed overhead. Poor visibility. he
said, would defeat the purpose of the
flight, which is to show the Zeppelin
to the people of the Middlewest.
Passengers Disappointed.
A 20-mile an hour wind at the han
gar, which would have made hazardous
any attempt to remove the big dirigible
from her quarters also influenced the
Zeppelin'S commander in his decision
The passengers, including Rear Ad-
miral Moffett, Lieut.. Comdr. Hugh ".
Wiley of the dirigible Los Angeles and
many other representatives of the Gov
eminent as well as private individuals,
were disappointed at the delay. They
had waited at the hangar from before
6 pm. expecting momentarily to be
ordered aboard the Zeppelin for the
start of their journey
The itinerary for the flight still re-
manned tentative, but it was believed
DR.. Eckener would attempt to visit
all the cities he had previously an
nounced as on the zeppelin's route. It
was seen as a Strong possibility. how
ever, that no stop would be made on
the trip. He had previously planned
to spend one night at Scott Field, Ill,
continuing the trip the next day.
Warns Plane Pilots.
DR.. Eckener has issued a warning
against airplane pilots flying too close
to the ship during her trip, during
which pilots in various cities are PLAN
ming to act as an air escort.

he walked over to the attorneys table
and sat down in front of the machine
found in Robertson's home. The de-
PENDANT leaned forward in his chair
and gaZed intently at the expert as the
latter began to write.
Slowly, looking for the proper keys
with one forefinger, DR.. Souder wrote
the word Hereby" eight times. Fifty

Mystery Is Deeper.
The mystery which has surrounded
the actual killing of Mills was deeper
this afternoon when Col Calvin w.
Goddard, firearms expert, told the Jury
that the fatal bullet taken from Mills
body Is of an unknown make. He said
he has written to cartridge manufac-
turers in Spain, France. Germany and
other countries describing the bullet,
but has been unable to learn the identity
of the manufacturer. Col. Goddard said
that no such bullet is made in this
country.
This he intimated, indicates that the
man who killed Mills took extraordi-
nary precaution against detection. Col
Goddard will continue his testimony
this afternoon in an attempt to show
that the markings on the bullet which
killed Mills are identical with those
on test bullets fired from the revolvers
taken from Robertson after his arrest
The first revolver was given to police
by the defendant after his arrest and
the other was found in his home some

opened by some one entering or leaving
the room so that she can catch a
glimpse of her husband before the door
swings shut. At other times she waits
for friends who have been inside to
come out so she can question them for
the newest developments in the trial.
Despite her evident concern, Mrs.
Robertson says she Is confident her huS-
band will be acquitted of the charge
against him. This sentiment Is echoed
by the boy, Elliot, who stays close by
his mothers side throughout the day.
The youngster is tall and slender and
has the reddish hair and gray eyes of
his father.
The demeanor Of Mrs. Mills Is In de-
cided contrast to that of Mrs. Robert
son. Since she was excused from the wit
ness stand last Tuesday, the widow has
evinced not the slightest interest in the
progress of the States case against the
man accused of Staying her husband.
She appears to be brooding over some
thing-Some problem the nature of
which is known only to herself.
Her friends say that her endurance
has been stretched to the breaking point
by the nerve-wracking strain of the
crime, the preliminary and grand jury
hearings and the present trial. Mrs.
Mills also is faced with the task Of
caring for her children and operating
the large dairy farm near Hunting Hill,
responsibilities which came to rest on
her shoulders with the death Of her
husbands

ment charging Herbert Hoover with
having IAN industrial record abhorrent
and in contravention of all the

Sullivan said that in absence of any
legislative record by Mr.. Hoover, he
must be Judged on his personal and
business attitude toward labor. In
formation furnished him by Mr. O'Brien

held because of employment of slaves
