LINER BEATS
HURRICANE IN
RACE TO PORT
Vessel Safe at Toxic After
Fighting Savage Storm
in Pacific.
By United Press

By United Press
TOXIC, March 12.-The Dollar
liner President Lincoln docked this
morning at 9 a. m, after riding out
one of the worst hurricanes in the
history of the Pacific.
The hurricane, which ragged across
the ocean at speed of 100 miles an
hour, destroyed the ships radio
and prevented Captain H. L. Jones
from giving notice of the plight of
the giant liner.
When the storm struck, Captain
Jones was forced to turn from his
course and ride out the storm, he
said.
He rugged a temporary radio, but
was unable to communicate with
the Yokohama office Of the Dollar
Company.
Fears were expressed in shipping
circles Sunday when it became
known that the President Lincoln
was hours overdue. There had been
no report for hours and the seas
we're known to be running high.
Hour by hour went by, with no
news, and fear increased for the
vessel and its 100 passengers and
crew of approximately 240.
Severe storms had been sweeping
the Pacific for several days and
many smaller craft had been dam
aged badly
But the big vessel weathered the
great breakers and driving wind ard
arrived at the port of Yokohama
safely, almost "a hours late.

NEW YORK, March H.
IN George Alexopoulus, Is, is
going to be lawyer. He's a good
one now, but believes he will con-
tinue in his job as office boy for
awhile. George, in magistrate
court, faced Albert Calico, who was
charged with slapping him. He
waived the services Of an attorney.
''Let me ask this fellow a few
questions" George said.
The court consented.
'Now, when you thought I gave
you the razzberry, weren't there
several other boys with me?"
George asked Calico.
Eyes," said Calico.
1T might have been some other
boy who razzed you, then,
mightn't it?"
Eyes"
IF I had done it, wouldn't I
have run when you started after
me?"
Calico admitted that sounded
logical.
George called four of his play
mates to the stand and they cor
roborated Alexopoulus' testimony.
The magistrate found Calico
guilty.
What shall I do with this
fellow?" he asked George
''Aw, let him go, judge. And
say, I've got to beat it. I'm going
to be late getting home and 1
haven't got a black eye for an
alibi."

BANKER SCOTS
]. AT FEARS FOR
. BUSINESS PANIC
Slump in Campaign Years
Is Only Tradition Now,
Ayres Says.
BY BRUCE CATION
NEA Service Writer

CLEVELAND, March 12.-There
is no reason on earth why a twen-
tieth century American should look
on a presidential election year as
a bad year for business, according
to Col. Leonard P. AyreS, vice preSi-
dent Of the Cleveland Trust Com
pa,ny, and one of the most noted
business experts in the country.
No reason-except tradition, Col
.Ayres believes that the tradition is
now so out of date and diScredited
that 1928 should see no Slackening
or timidity on the part of business.
Furthermore, Colonel AyreS has
figures to show that, of the last
twelve national election years, six
were distinctly better than normal
business years. Five were below
normal and the other was about
equally divided.
= No Reason for Slump
Thus Colonel Ayres concludes that
there is no natural economic reason
for poor business in a presidential
year; half of the time business is
actually better than usual during
the campaign.
The tradition of election time de-
preston, he admits, had a perfectly
sound origin.
For nearly a quarter of a CEN
tury, up to 1904" he says" each
campaign found some party or can
didate advancing some unsound
financial theory.
First we had the 'greenback'
men, then the free silver advocates.
In each Of those election years there
was an issue that, if adopted, would
have been bad for business.
Natural for Fear
"It was only natural, then, that
in those days business men should
be tinlid in election years.
That's where the tradition came
from. Business men of today were
brought up on the idea that each
presidential campaign year was a
time for holding back. The reed
for such an attitude is gone, but the
attitude, in many cases, persists.
In fact, now and then it happens
that this groundless feeling actual
ly does bring about a temporary in
duStrial letup. Men think that a
presidential year will mean poor.
business. They act accordingly-and
it's true, because they think it is"
Colonel AyreS is confident that
1928 will be a year of industrial adj
vances. Such hesitancy as there
is, he believes, is due to factors en-
tirely separate from politics.
No Dangerous Candidates
'Why should business be hesitant
because Of the coming campaign?"
he asks. mot one of the leading
parties Of candidates is advocating
anything dangerous Not one is
advocating anything unsound.
Consider the three candidates
who seem to be accorded the best
chances by political forecasters-
Hoover, Smith and Dawes. Would
business have anything to fear from
any of them?
Not one of these man is COM
nlitted to unsound policies as re-
CARDS such fundamental matters as
the Federal Reserve System, the
tariff, or Government ownership.
Business has no reason to fear
them"

support that makes electoral votes in

has been pleased to hear from his

prefer him to the governor.
Religious Issue Prominent.
Though nebulous still lacking the
complement Of the Smith and Robinson

swings along with the religious issue
