81 votes. The total number of bal
lots cast was 57,088, of which
Granfield received 31,17O and Griggs
24,749.
The victorious Democrat carried
every ward in former President
Coolidge's home city of North
ampton.
Griggs' defeat was interpreted by
dry leaders as a rebuke for his para
doxical stand on prohibition. They
argued that his willingness to favor
repeal of the eighteenth amendment
made him wet in spite of the fact
that he is a nondrinker.
Depression in the Republican
ranks today was not confined, how
ever, to speculation solely concern
ing the vote-getting power of op-
posing prohibition views. Senator

ported Granfield. had asked for bal

Stration of President Hoover.

A tentative American suggestion

degree. An alternative suggestion
was that Britain scrap some of its
newer class ships. such as the Royal

rather than the old Iron Duke class.

Goodness of Emancipation
ImpresSeS Itself on
His Students.
BY Fl. o. THOMPSON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Under
the bxooding, melancholy marble
face of Abraham Lincoln in the
Lincoln memorial here, legend is
being born. 1t is legend that all
who gazed upon that sculptured
countenance take away in their
own characters something of the
fundamental goodness of the great
emancipation.
In various individuals the legacy
takes different forms The aged,
some of them barely able to Strug-
gle up the steps to the shrine, gain
back something of their youth. The
young are sobered by the atmos-
phere of veneration which clingS
to the glistening marble structure.
In the case of John w. Wheeler,
who has record Of thirty years of
service, at home and abroad, with
the United States army, the Lincoln
tradition works in still another way.
Always Admired Emancipator
Wheeler is a guard and attendant
at the Lincoln memorial, but his
work signifies more than a. means
of livelihood to him.
"I've always admired President
Lincoln" Wheeler said today, while
preparations we're being made for
the two Lincoln birthday exercises
at the memorial. But since being
here I've lived Lincoln, studied Lin
coin and been helped by Lincoln.
Sooner or later all the lovers OF
Lincoln come here. There was one
Just the other day who could just
barely get up the steps. He claimed
that story about Grant and Lincoln
was true. You know they tried to
tell Lincoln that Grant was too
much of a drinker to have charge
of the Union army. And Lincoln
said, Find out what brand of
whisky he drinks; I could use it for
some of the other generals"
Left His Card
Just a few weeks ago a visitor
talked to Wheeler and the guard
told him about the statue, how it
measured nearly twenty feet from
massive shoe to heroic brow, and
how Spaniard. Royal Cortissoz,
had written the words above his
head:
I'm this temple, as in the hearts
Of the people for whom he saved
the Union, the memory of Abraham
Lincoln Is enshrined forever"
Imagine my chagrin," Wheeler
chuckled, when I looked at the
card he left with me. It read
Royal CortiSsoz."

PORT AU RINCE, Haiti, Feb. IL
The rioting and bloodshed of last
December were recalled today when
crowd of Haitians held a manifeS-
tation in front of the cathedral here
after mass had been said in mem
ory of the natives killed by United

Authorities broke up the demon
stration and made thirty-one ar
rests.
The crowd, estimated at so, was
addressed by three speakers who
blamed the government aided by
American machine guns for misery
existing in Haiti.
After those arrested had been
taken to the police station, a crowd
of 100 gathered before the building,
shouting, "long live liberty" They
were dispersed quickly and the city
was quiet late in the morning.

VIEWED DISCIPLINE AID

Indiana state reformatory prison
ers are better disciplined men today
as the result of the speech there
Sunday of DR.. C. Bromley Oman,
president of De Paw university.
This was the opinion today of A.
F. Miles, reformatory Superinten-
dent, who has had thirty years
service in such institutions, and IS
considered an authority.
Miles was amazed when he
learned that Dr. OXnam'S speech
had been termed an outrage" by
the D. A. r. He at once took issIe
with the charge that it tended to
make the 1000 prisoners disloyal
traitors and anarchists"
Charged Slanderous
The charge was made Monday in
letter to Attorney-General James
M. Ogden from Mrs. Electa Chase
Murphy, Muncie, state chairman for
national defense of the Indiana So
ciety, Daughters of the American
Revolution. She urged Ogden to
prevent Oman from again making
such false and slanderous utter
ance" at the Pendleton institution.
Her objections were based on
press accounts of the speech in
which the De Paw president was
quoted as urging America First" in
terms of world service rather than
first in theft of Mexican oil lands.
Il do not know where Mrs.
Murphy could get such an erroneous
Idea of DR.. Oxnam's speech" Miles
said. Prisoners here were highly
pleased with it and it aided disci-
pine, rather than tended to make
the men more disgruntled.
Prisoners Comment
Instead of weakening their
patriotism, it strengthened it. I
have heard several prisoners COM
ment on what a fine talk DR..
Oman made, and what splendid
man he is personally.
1.-THE speech Sunday was a little
different from the average sermon.
It was more of a lecture and the
boys heartily enjoyed it. 1t did
them all great good"
Miles has been at the Pendleton
institution for twenty-six years.
President Oman laughed when
told of the Murphy allegations.
1.-The best defense against the per-
son who talks first and fathers facts
later, or perhaps not at all, is 81
lence," he asserted when inter
viewed at GreencaStle.
Mrs. Murphy depended upon
somewhat hastily prepared and con-
densed press reports to base her
attack. She could have heard the
straight story of the speech from
Superintendent Miles at the re-
formatory."

After each disaster charges were
hurled by business men, underwrit-
ers' engineers and others familiar
with fire fighting duties, alleging
that the department was appalling
ly inefficient in allowing these blazes
to get beyond control.
Whitewash Is Charged
Investigations said to have fol-
lowed these accusations apparently
brought nothing but vindication of
firemen.
So brazenly, 1t is said, was white
wash applied following one of the
fires that department records were
altered to give firemen the benefit
of five minutes, changing their per-
torrance from one of extraordinary
hardness to fair efficiency.

Ineficiency Alleged
AS a result of the failure of fire

blaze for several minutes after the
alarm was turned in, and because
of inept handling of equipment
when companies finally did arrive.
1t is said, blaze that might have
been checked without tremendous
loss swept everything in it's path
and was halted only by blank space.
There was nothing left to burn.

Speedy Time Made
Five years ago, when the Chand-
ler-Taylor Company, located near
the American Foundry Company,
suffered fire, a battalion chief was
on the scene, looked over the situa-
ton, turned in a second alarm, and
had his apparatus in action, all in
four minutes, according to official
records.
One member OF the board of safe
ty, connected with the insurance
company holding policies on the
foundry, and another board member
are said to have been familiarized
with the alleged plumbers.
