HERTZSTABLE
BURNS KILLING
II TURF KINGS
Reign Count, Kentucky Derby
Winner, Only Thorough
bred Saved
ANITA PEABODY ESCAPES
Fire Thought lncendiary and
Seen as Violent Gesture in
Taxi War

Chicago, Oct. 2.-(P)-The John
d. Hertx racing stable near Cary.
ILL.,, in which were quartered Reign
Count, 1928 Kentucky derby winner,
and Il other thoroughbreds, was de-
stroyed last night by fire Of mys-
terious, possibly incendiary, origin.
Eleven thoroughbreds. valued at
more than $500, 900, were burned to
death. Reign Count, who is gener-
ally regarded Is the premier 3-year-
old of the American track, was
brought unscathed from the burning
barn by . quick-thinking stable boy,
Jimmy Allen. Anita Peabody, an
other star of the Hertz string and
known Is the 2-year-old champion
OF 1927, also was saved.
Among the animals lost were Le-
onA Eft, named for Leona Hertz and
being groomed for the 1929 Ken
tucky derby; Sandal Fan. lnsula,
Sandal Bar, st. Lucia, fillies by
Black Servant, Kohnkona and Sir
Galahad; and fillies out Of Whisk-
broom and Luanna.
John D. Hertz, owner Of the model
stable, is chairman Of the board of
directors Of the Yellow Cab COM
pany. Two large garages of the cab
company were bombed Sunday night.
The fire at the Hertz farm, follow
ing within less than "a hours Of the
two bombings, was seen by Chicago
police IS another violent gesture in
the "taxi war" which flared week
ago when = taxicab driver was shot
dead.
Cary officers found several indi-
cations Of incendiarism. Fire broke
out simultaneously at opposite ends
Of the long brick barn, they said.
There were indications that oil had
been used to give the flames quick
headway.
Jimmy Allen, q stable boy, was the
first to reach the barn. Through the
smoke he CROPPED his way to Reign
Counts stall. All about him the
high strung thoroughbreds were
stomping in their fright.
Allen placed a blindfold about
Reign Counts eyes, vaulted to the
nervous animals back, and drove the
derby-winner to safety.
Anita Peabody was stabbed in an
other building, but was brought from
her stall as flames from the main
stable endangered other structures
on the farm.

SMITH SOUNDS
DRIVE KEYNOTE
AT CONVENTION
Addresses Earnest Plea to
Voters to Return Demo.
Gratis to Albany
SAYS REPUBLICANS DEFY
Attacks Republican Leaders
for Alleged Obstruction Of
Policies
BY d. HAROLD OLIVER
Associated Press Staff Writer)

Rochester, N. Y, Oct. 2.-(R-
With q two-fisted attack on the New
York state Republican platform and
an earnest plea to the voters who
have elected him their chief exec
utive four times to return the DEM
ocrats to power at Albany in vindi-
cation of their progressive policies,
Governor Smith has sounded the
keynote of q statewide campaign
that may, in the final analysis, have
an important bearing in his fight
for the presidency.
Addressing the delegates to the
Democratic state convention here
last night, the Democratic presiden-
tial nominee challenged statement
after statement in the opposition
platform adopted last week at Syra-
cuse, attacked the Republican lead
ers Of the state for alleged obstruc-
tion of his policies, and declared
mot a single constructive achieve
ment that took place in the govern
ment Of this state in the last six
years had Republican support until
they were beaten down to the earth"
He said the attitude of the Repub-
licans Of the Empire State was one
Of defiance, that they unjustly
claimed credit for reforms sponsored
and fought for by the Democrats
against a hostile legislature, and
that the record of progress could be
continued only by the election Of the
candidates to come out Of the con-
vention here.
''lrreparable injury can come to
the state by any other course" he
said, "and l earnestly hope and pray
that the 9Th of November will be .
vindication Of progressive Demo-
cratic policies and reputation Of
Republican stand-pat, reactionary
policies"
With party responsibility as hts
text, one upon which he based his
Helena, Mont, speech, the nominee
picked at the Republican platform
item by item. reviewed what he said
were the "facts" as to the legis-
lative accomplishments of his admin
istration, and declared nothing
would be more regrettable than to
let the record l have laid out before
you tonight get the approval Of the
people Of the biggest state in the
union"

HOOVER PLANS
DISCUSSION OF
BUSINESS, TAX
Republican Candidate will
Speak in Boston Oct. Is,
New York Oct. %
WILL BE BROADCAST
Tariff, Business Conditions
and Industrial Trade Are
New England Themes
BY JAMES L. WEST

(Associsted Press Staff Writer)
Washington, Oct. 2.-@- Her
bert Hoover will speak in Boston,
October IL, and in New York City,
October %, instead Of October 13 as
originally planned.
The Boston speech will be deliv-
cred in Mechanics hall at 8 o'clock
eastern standard time, while that in
New York will be in Madison Square
Garden at the same hour. Both
speeches will be broadcast over q
nation wide hookup.
Besides these two addresses in the
east Hoover probably will make an
other October %, at some place yet
to be selected, before he leaves for
California to vote November 6.
The Republican presidential can
didate also will deliver two speeches
next Saturday, one 1T Elizabethton,
Tenn, and the other at the soldiers
home on the outskirts of johnson
City, Tenn.
Tariff is to form the keynote Of
Herbert Hoover's address in indus
trial New England the latter part of
this month. He now is gathering the
material for this "a we'll as the
other speeches he is to make in the
east and the west before his final
appeal to the voters over the radio
from his California home on elec-
tion eve, November 8.
Business conditions and industrial
trade will form themes in the New
York City speech on the night Of
October IS, but the Republican pres
idential candidate had not yet def
nitely decided upon the topic Of his
seventh major . dress to be deliv-
cred in some western city during his
journey to Stanford university
where he will cast his ballot.
While work on these addresses IS
taking up much Of the nominees
time he also is devotine' consider
able Of 1t to details of the conduct
Of the campaign ii the states which
generally have been listed az doubt
full, and also to the situation in the
southern states. On his engagement
list today was c. Bascom Slemp, ma
tional committeeman for Virginia,
who is in charge of the campaign in
the old dominion.
Undoubtedly the recent letter
which was sent out over the sigma
ture Of Mrs. Willie w. Caldwell, ma
tional committee woman for Vir-
ginia, calling upon the women to
save the country from being
"Romanized" will form one subject
matter for discussion between
Hoover and Slemp. Scarcely had
Hoover finished repudiating that
letter before another indecent Of the
same kind cropped up in another
southern state.
This is the action Of Oliver D.
Street, Republican national COM
mitteeman and state chairman for
Alabama, in sending out a pamphlet
entitled Governor Smiths men,
bership in the Catholic church and
it's proper place in the campaign"
Hoover has taken no action respect
ing the circulation of this document
rs Chairman Work of the Republican
national committee, had sent q tele-
gram Of protest to Street before the
matter was called to the attention
Of the candidate.

Senator Brookhart of Iowa
Denounces Smith for Duplic-

Governor Smiths western trip in
his Gold Brick Special train lost him
q million votes. Duplicity and
egotism were its outstanding fea-
lures.
This statement was made by Sena-
tor Smith w. Brookhart of Iowa,
speaking at Washburn this after
noon in the interest Of the Hoover
Curtis campaign.
He came to sdemonstrate Jeffer-
sonfan simplicity with the pomp Of
an emperor" said Mr.. Brookhart.
HE denounced the invisible powers
that stifle and contaminate Repub-
lican leadership from Z gilded plat
form furnished by the invisible cash
Of Tammany contractor. He pro-
claimed his frankness and courage
from every issue and then faced
both ways with consistent regular

Tonight at 8 o'clock Senator
Brookhart will deliver an address to
the voters Of Burleigh county in the
Bismarck Auditorium. His address
tonight will deal chiefly with the
farm problem and Mr.. Hoover's
stand in the matter.
Last night Senator Brookhart
spoke at Dickinson. He came to Bis
marck this morning for a conference
with local Republican leaders before
continuing to Washburn for his
speaking engagement. He returned
to Bismarck later in the afternoon.
His address tonight will be broad
cast over Radio station KFYR.

IOWA MAN DIES
TRAIN RAMS
THROUGH AUTO
Blackie Shea Instantly Killed
at Coleharbor Crossing Sun.
day Night

One man was instantly killed and
his companion sustained minor in
juries when 500 line freight train
crashed into their automobile at .
Coleharbor crossing Sunday night.
Blackie Shea, 33, Sioux City,
Iowa, died almost instantaneously
when the steering wheel of the car
was rammed through his chest.
Seymour Magness, 81, Cotton, S.
Dak., was cut and bruised but es-
capped death when the impact
hurled him from the automobile in
to q grade ditch. Magness was re-
leased from a Garrison hospital to-
day.
The men who had been working il
the harvest fields about Coleharbor
had been pleasure driving Sunday
evening, according to Magness,
when they drove upon the crossing.
The freight caught the front end
of the car, ground it to pieces,
mangled Shea and miraculously
tossed Magness out Of the wreckage.
Members of the train crew testi-
fled at coroner's inquest that the
track was clearly visible for many
yards on either side Of the crossing
and that the lights on the locomo-
tive had been switched on at pre-
vious station.
There were no curtains on the car
and it is thought that the men, en-
crossed in conversation failed to see
or hear the freight as it neared the
crossing.
Magness, the driver, said after
the accident, that he was hurled
through the top while Shea was
pinned in the telescoping wreckage
Of the car.
