DEMOCRATS URGED
TO BAR SMITH WING
Box of Texas Says Party
viii Die Unless Change
Is Made.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The future success of the Democratic
party, in the opinion of Representative
Box of Texas, new minority whip in the
House, depends upon Kidding the or
ganization of those forces which nomi-
mated Gov. Smith and controlled his
campaign. Otherwise, he sees dlsin-
tegration OF the party beyond salvation.
Box, who recently was selected Demo-
cratic whip for the remainder OF the
present Congress, succeeding the late
Representative Oldfield of Arkansas,
expressed this view in letter, mace
public yesterday. to Franklin ID. Roose.
velt. new Governor Of New York. ano
political and personal friend OF Smltn.
Roosevelt had congratulated BoX on ms
reelection and suggested the party
must have a constructive program ano
continue to maintain strong national
organization.
Replying. the Texan declared the
situation which eliminated in the nom
ination of Smith and Hoover, ana the
election of the latter, was "calamitous
mistake"
Foresees Break In Party.
"Jf the situation and forces which
nominated Gov. Smith and controlled
the campaign continue to dominate the
nartv." he declared, Texas ana the
South will cease to be Democratic, tne
East will not be controlled, the WeSt
will be permanently estranged, and the
party will break up. some OF It's voters
going to the Republican party. others
remaining with the organization, and
others becoming independents.
Box declared all organization ano
activity would be futile unless the party
adopts a worth while purpose and
program, and added that while one goal
should be to continue to oppose ana
expose corruption" the people right
fully expect political party TO DO
more than oppose and criticize"
Constructive handling OF such live
political issues as prohibition, 1mmisra-
ton and the tariff was required, ne
said. AS for the first, he declared
that while prohibition sentiment pre-
vailed. there were probably more tnan
lOO. 900 saloons and several hundred
thousand bootleggers in existence with
out a bona fide effort by those re-
sponsible to enforce the law"
Congratulates Roosevelt.
What will be the position OF the
Democratic party on this issue?" ne
asked, continuing;
Gov. Smith dealt frankly with 1t:
| Secretary HooverS campaign was made
to appeal to both sides. Gov. Smiths
big minority came in part from Demo-
Gratis who disagreed with him on this
issue, but preferred him to Secretary
Hoover on account of other considera-
tions and because of party attachment
but millions of good Democrats re-
| fused to support Gov. Smith. Their
permanent loss to the party would ruin
it."
| Box congratulated Roosevelt on his
! election and expressed the hope that
his service would strengthen the party
in New York State and elsewhere.

OF COLLEGE LIQUOR
Investigation Is Answer to
Charges of Drunkenness
Hurled by Hepburn.

RICHMOND. Va, January 5.-Gov
Harry F. Byrd today ordered an in
vestigation of liquor drinking in all col
leges in Virginia, both public and pri-
vate, to be conducted by Attorney Gen
er&l John r. Saunders as prohibition
commissioner of the State.
At the same time the governor wrote
college officials asking that efforts be
increased and every vigilance be used
to decrease student drinking The
action followed charges of excessive
drinking at the University of Virginia
reported to the governor by the Rev.
David Hepburn, superintendent OF the
Virginia Anti-Saloon League.
The effort to enforce this law should
extend with equal energy to those who
dwell in the grounds of higher institu-
tionS of learning as we'll as to those
who dwell without" Gov. Byrd said
in his letter to the attorney general
I'm view of recent charges that excess
sive drinking exists at our State uni
versity, feel that 1t is in the public
vestigation in all the colleges and uni
versities in the State.
Does Not Accuse Students.
IN making this request I do not
mean to imply that the charges made
are we'll founded or otherwise, but do
feel that an investigation of these
charges is wise and in the interest of
the educational institutions in whose
management 1 have SO much confidence
and for whose officials I cherish high
respect"
Coincident with his order to the
attorney general Gov. Byrd isued a
statement outlining the controversy
begun when DR.. Hepburn called the
governors attention to the reports of
excessive drinking at the University of
Virginia, declaring he believed ii to
constitute Statewide scandal He
summed up DR.. Hepburn'S charges as
follows:
First, that drinking at the State Uni
versity is a Statewide scandal; second,
that President Edwin A. Alderman has
shown neither disposition nor ability
to improve the alleged deplorable con-
ditions; third, that the attitude of the
president and faculty aggravates and
increases the conditions complained
of, and fourth, that the honor system
is obsolete and false" and protects the
laWlesS liquor element"
He said that he referred these
charges to President Alderman. because

Gathered in Washington since Decem-
ber TO- the Pan-AmeriCan Conference
on Arbitration and Cancellation con-
cluded yesterday its labors for which it
was called and also looked back upon
steps taken to reconcile the Bolivia and
Paraguay boundary dispute.
Before adiourning the parley. Secre-

agreed yesterday to three documents.
namely, general treaty of compulsory
arbitration, an unlimited treaty of con-

they might have made to the arbitration
treaty at the time of signing.
The objects achieved by the confer
ence, both in the conclusion of its
treaties and by it's activities In the Bo-
livian Paraguayan controversy, were
emphasized bv Secretary Kellogg in his
closing remarks as chairman of the
conference.
May I refer to the fortunate circum-
stance that this conference was in
session when the differences arose be-
tween two of our sister republics" the
Secretary said. These difficulties made
dramatically evident the fact that the
peace OF the Americas is a matter
that les close to the heart of all the
nations of this hemisphere and is some
thing for which all the governments
members of the Pan-American Union,
feel a real responsibility.
I'VE may well congratulate ourselves

ference the questions involved have
been led into channels which promise
an early and satisfactory adjustment
