BOYS PLAYING IN WATER
FIND KETTLE OF GEMS

A kettleful of cheap jewelry found
by two youngsters wading in the East
ern Branch OF the Potomac River this
morning has been turned over to police
and an effort is being made by detec-
tives to determine whether or not the
articles are stolen property.
Pearce Green, Is years old, of 1922
Twenty-second street southeast and
Thomas Herbert, IA years old, of 2211
Naylor road southeast, discovered the
jewelry in the river short distance
from the Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge
and turned it over to Policeman c. r..
Sydnour of the eleventh precinct.
A string of beads lying on the river
bed about three feet from the. shore
caught between the toes of Green's foot
while he and Herbert were playing in
the water, and subsequent searching
resulted in the finding of the kettle
and its contents only a short distance
away.
Bracelets and stone beads comprised
the greater part of the articles, while
an identification tag bearing the name
of Second Lieut.. Westel Willoughby
United States Air Service, A. E. F." was
also found in the kettle.

GOOD CHANGE FOR COMEBACK
SEEN FOR BLIND EX-SENATOR
Power of 0ratory and Keen
Political ACumen Favor
Gore.
Oklahoma Primary Vote Indi-
Gates Popularity of Re-
publican Foe.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, August Is
(N.A.NA) Less taxes, more trade and
no trusts"
Upon that platform, Thomas Pryor
Gore, former Senator, has staged a
political comeback, gaining the Demo-
cratic nomination for United States
Senator when so many ex-Governors
and other "exes" went down to hopeless
defeat.
His victory over C. j. wrightsman,
Tulsa oil millionaire, in this week s
primaries, and over the field in the
flrst primary, was so surprising that
many observers think he has a good
chance to win the Senate seat from
Senator w. B. Pine, Republican, in the
general election.
Gore. the blind master of the stump
with his cleverneSs, wit and sarcasm
and his observations on Hoover pros
perity' won votes by the thousands
Now at SO years-he calls his age still
on an attempt to regain the seat in
the Senate from which he has been
absent since 1921.
Cores hair is white and he always
was a commanding figure before an
audience.
Reaction Of People.
Gore ATTRIBUTES MS victory, IN q large
measure, to the reaction of the people
to tremendous expenditures in senatorial
campaigns. His primary campaign cost
81 900, and he was without headquar-
tiers or organization.
Gore knows the politics of Oklahoma
far better than any of his opponents.
He served IA years in the United States
Senate from the Statehood in 1907 until
1920, when he was defeated for the
Democratic nomination to succeed him
self by Scott Ferris, now national COM
mitteeman. His plan in his recent
campaign was to explain his platform
and denounce the Republicans in gen.
eral and the Hoover administration in
particular. He classified the Hoover
Democrats gently for leaving the party
in 1928, but not in a manner to make
them hostile.
The drop in farm prices was an
other of his favorite topics. He had
way of driving it home. One ex-
preston was that as hogs go down
they pass hams coming up"
Blinded as q Boy.
Born in Mississippi, misfortune over
took Gore at 8 years. when he lost the
sight of his left eye by accident. When
he was IL he was page in the Mis-
sissippi State Senate. There, he be-
lieves, the idea of becoming a United
States Senator was implanted in his
mind.
