HOOVER WORKING ON NEXT ADDRESS Back in Washington Alter New Yort'S Ovation
 TO TALK IN ST. LOUIS
Only Engagement of Nominee Is Luncheon With President Coolidge Candidate and Party In High
 Spirits Alter Trip.

Wa3hlngton. oct. 2S ~ - Back from New York, where in Governor Smiths home city he received ono of the biggest ovations of his cam paign. Herbert Hoover today began working on another address which he will deliver to the nation, prob- ably at St. Louis on his way to Palo Alto, California, to vote.
 One engagement broke into the quietness of his labors - luncheon with President Coolidge. Otherwise with the same care with which he usually works, he busted himself the opposition and one of his last bids to his fellow countrymen for . republican victory in November.
 In High Spirits
 The Hoover party. from the nom- inee down. returned here from New York in high spirits. There. in Madison Square Garden, the nominee and the speakers who preceded him were receivd with roars of applause. the climax coming when Mir. Hoover took his place on the stand. The clamorous cheering was beyond control for many minutes. and the audience frequently broke into his prepared address to shout their ap- proval.
 Mir. Hoover's New York address stressed democratic proposals on farm relief, prohibition. and electric power. and he asserted the demo- crats had adopted @ program that would destroy political equality and increase rather than decrease abuse and corruption. The subject of his western speech has not been an- nounced.
 Closes Doors
 Upon his arrival back home today, Mir. Hoover closed his office doors to visitors, and in characteristic manner, proceeded with the business at hand in a way that has marked his method of running his campaign for the presidency.
 The only visitor of the morning was Secretary Kellogg who chatted with him briefly. The secretary de- clined to discuss his conversation with Hoover. saying that he simply had made a friendly call.

 GALR GALLEYS Italians Pumping Water Out of
 Llks Nemi SUNK ABOUT YEAR fl X. D. Famous Ships On which Emperor Caliguls Held Wild Orgics Valued As Most Priceless Antiques In World Tuslay.
SUNK ABOUT YEAR fl X. D,


 Rome. Oct. 2s (uP) - Italian scholars and students of antiquity are watching with greatest interest tho efforts to raise the famou, Gala" galleys of the emperor Cali gula from the bottom of Lake Nemi, where they have lain since the be- ginning of tho Christian era.
 Spectacular Orgies
 The galleys. on which were reput- cd to have been held spectacular feats and orgies. long have been sought as ono of the greatest arch geological treasures of modern times. Attempts to recover them have been made periodically since the middle of the 18th century.
 Through an elaborate modern en- gineering scheme. however. the pros- poet now appears destined to suc- ceed. The engineers began pumping out Lake Nemi Saturday after cere- monies attended by Premier Musso- lint and other dignitaries and the work is expected to end in about four months.
 Lake Nemi, noted for its pictur- esque beauty. nestles in an extinct crater in tho Alban hills. near a suburb of Rome. It was a favorite spot for many of the revels that marked ancient Rome's declining days.
 Cruel Emperor
 The emperor Caligula, or Caiua Caesar. who ruled from 12 to 41 A. D., and wes regarded as one of the most extravasant. cruel and prof1i- gate emperors of his time. con- structed . fleet of lavishly decorated galleys which he devoted to his numerous feasts and ceremonies.
 Gathering his favorite generals and consuls. Caligula would repair to the beautiful Alban hills and. or dering his slaves to bring wine and captured women. would spend week after week in revelry. Several his- torians have recorded that at the height of the gayety the emperor and his companions often would or- der tho women to be thrown over board and others brought to them.
 Caligula's cruelty and thirst for blood is attributed by historians to insanity. It is pointed out that he once bestowed priesthood and a con- sularship on his horse, Incitatus. and he was quoted as saying he wished tho whole Roman people had only one head. 70 he might cut it off at a single stroke.
 Oppressive Taxes
 It was by means of the oppressive taxes he levied on his subjects that he was able to spend enormous sum for the contraction of his floating palaces. Two of them are known to be at the bottom of Lake Nemi. They are inlaid with fine marbles and mosaics and decorated with priceless bronze.
 Engineers are pumping the water from the lake through tunnel lead ing from the saucer-like body to | plain below. It will require until February, they estimate. to bring the water to a level that will en- able them to raise the galleys. Four huge electrically-driven pumps are reducing the lake by 120,000 cubic meters each day.
