sailing directly westward across the At

kings of Portugal, Spain, England and
France to fit him out with the ships nee

all his rebuffs he persisted in his at
tempts. In January, 1892, he appeared
again at the court of Spain and was given
a hearing by Ferdinand and Isabella.
But again he was dismissed from the
court and departed sorrowing over what
seemed to be the end of his great dream.

Jack Dalton, whose days as a des-

More than a quarter of a century
ago, when the Dalton boys were
hard pressed by vigilantes after a
bold foray, they retreated to Ten-
devious in the Oklahoma hills. and
soon were in desperate straits from
lack of food and water.
It was then Cattle Annie, :"
known as Jacks girl throughout
the west, came to the rescue.
Alone and unaided she crept
through the dense underbrush to
the spot where Jack and the four
Dalton brothers, his nephews, we're
hiding. With her she brought food
and water and information which
allowed the desperadoes to evade
their pursuers.
It was only a short respite. how

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Presi-

campaign against radicals" anc
"bolsheviki," it was learned at the
executive Office today.
Announcement of the project last
Sunday, while the chief executive
was enjoying a weekend holiday
at his isolated Virginia fishing pre-
serve, was without White House
authority or approval.
Neither the President nor h's
closest party advisers were con-
suited on the project, the United
Press learned.
Representative Frank Murphy
(Rep., o., outlined the proposed
drive in a circular letter appealing
for contributions to the National
Republic, an unofficial Republican

According to White House Off
cialS. President Hoover was repre-
sented as opposed to drives on
principle.
He has set his course against SEN
sationalism and dramatic appeal IN
prohibition enforcement.
DR.. Hubert Work, former chair
man CT the Republican nationa
committee, also repudiated the
radical drive today.
'I knew nothing about the letter
before it was mailed" Work said.
A few hours earlier he had con-
ferred with President Hoover at the
executive offices.
Work denied he had been sum-
moned to the White House to dis
cuss widely published accounts OF

1t may be ten months before all
drivers will have their licenses, it
was estimated.
Under the new law the failure to
procure a license is a misdemeanor
and punishable by fines, not to
exceed $500, and Imprisonment Of
not more than six months.
Physical ImpOssibility
But since it is physical impossi-
bility to provide licenses, no arrests
will be made for some time, it was
said.
Singleton declared that the policy
of the department will be to have
the state police commence arresting
non-Hcensed drivers just as soon as
the bureau is able to handle its daily
quota of applications by issuing
licenses for all applications received
on that day. At present they are
