RAINS THREATEN OYSTER.
80 to so Per Cent Loss Expected
by Conservation Commissioner.

BALTIMORE, September 20.-Oyster-
men in Maryland may face a serious
depreciation in their product because
of the heavy rains of August, accord
ing to Swepson Earle, State conserva-
ton commissioner.
The rains reduced the salinity of the
water, Mr.. Earle said, and for this rea-
son a reduction in the oyster supply
as large as from 80 to so per cent may
result, Mr. Earle said.
An exhaustive survey of conditions
in the lower bay, made by r. v. Truitt,
professor of agriculture at the Univer-

statement.

Allegation That Hoover Owns Oil, Mining Prop

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-The charge that Herbert c. Hoover "is credited" with owning oil and mining properties in Colombia and Mexico has been vigorously made and is accompanied by sweep ing denial.
 The allegation is sponsored by Henry Hansbrough, once Repub- lican Senator from North Dakota, now supporter of Gov. Alfred E. Smith. With it he coupled a demand that Hoover withdraw from the Presidential campaign and permit selection of a Repuh- lican candidate who cannot be influenced in the handling of our foreign affairs"
 Tine denial came from Henry Allen, Director of Publicity for the Republican National Commit tee. Allen sent a telegram to Hansbrough asserting there was no foundation for such statements and declaring they could "only be uttered for the purpose of gaining votes by deliberate lies"

 SAYS ROBINSON
Nominees Says Agriculture, Mining and Other In-
 dustries Not Prospering

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. IL. Senator Joseph T. Robinson in- vaded the political battle-ground of the Golden Gate last night. swinging his oratorical axe on what he termed the Republican pretense to beat business prosperi- ty which is an unfailing accom- paniment of the Republican Ad- ministration.
 The Democratic Vice-Presiden- tial nominee said many of our greatest industries. engaging mil lions of people. are suffering to degree that has aroused general complaint and anxiety"
 The Senator then listed agricul- ture, mining, oil and the textile industries as the outstanding sui ferers. He continued: "The Demo- cratic Party recognizes the right of every industrial to enjoy pros perity but it must be distributed among all who contribute to our national wealth. The Democratic Party condemns the system estab- lished by the Republicans where by only few enjoy real prosper ity and the remainder are required like Lazarus, to accept the crumbs which fall from the overladen table of dives"
 The speaker declared that the Republican party promised farm relief in it's 1924 platform and had failed to do anything at all. He declared that the time had come to penalize them for their failure and to put the Democrats in pow CT who, he said, under the leader ship of Alfred E. Smith, would settle the matter in a few months.
 Robinson eulogized Gov. Smith as the greatest friend the public schools have ever had in the State of New York, as the most pro- gressiye Governor in the Nation. and predicted his election in No- vember.

HOOVER HONEST BUT
 NOT BRAVE, SAYS GLASS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-United States Senator Carter Glass, of Vir- ginia, in radio speech last night said he believed Herbert c. Hoo yer was a gentle man and honest, but added: "I cannot believe he is a brave man. It is because think he has honest convictions that 1 know he has not the cour- age of them because no honest man with courage of his convic- tions could have touched elbows with the reasonable crowd at Washington and silently acquies- ced to the frightful administration with which they literally shocked the world"
 Senator Glass condemned the entrance of "pulpiteers' in the campaign in an effort to defeat Gov. Smith because of his religion He said they declare that if the Democrats win, the country will be turned over to the Pope. He ridi- culed the idea as supremely silly, but said that as far as he was con- cerned, and he spoke as Protes- tant, he would rather have the Pope of Rome at the head of the United States than the cabal of American Protestant Popes who are trying to force their churches into politics to nullify the Consti- tutional guaranty of religious free dom.
