jacent to the Mississippi River or on
the East Coast. He said that "a dele

and yet only twice has the convention
been held within 1000 miles Of their
home city.
Quinn promised suf1icient hotel rooms

the beauties of a trip to Los Angeles
He made known pledge by Los Angeles
County and the City of Los Angeles
that each would appropriate $685. 900 for
the convention and showed a certified
check for that amount given by the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
Paul @. Armstrong of Chicago sub
mitted his city's plea for the 1888 con-
yention. He explained that the Worlds
Fair would be held in Chicago in that
year and that it was necessary to go
before the committee at this early time
TO seek the convention so that plans
could be made.
Asa Needham asked that Baltimore
be given the 1882 convention.
No action was taken on either one
of the bids and 1t was voted that the
committee report to the convention that
II had found both Los Angeles and De-
troit prepared to handle the convention
and that the convention vote on the
matter.
The committee will also report to the
National Executive Committee that a
recommendation has been made that
all future conventions be held between

IS, with Andre Pierre Fioux, winner of
its national finals.
Young Fioux, who Is 10 years Of age
is student Of the Lycee Clermont-

as a formidable contender, since the
French language has won the finals for

the victory two years ago and French
Canadian winning for the Dominion
last year. FiouX won the second prize
in a history contest among all the
schools of France last July.

turn to France from Washington this
month to major in history. Ftoux's
father is principal Of boys school and
his mother is teacher.
In his contest participation Fioux IS
speaking on Liberty, Equality and

The officers searched two automo-

Bush did not lose consciousness after
the shooting and told police that he
at first supposed his assailant was q
neighbor, playing joke. When saw
the fellow meant business" he said, -

Bush had about $50 in money on his
person at the time. He expressed the
belief that the robber had accosted him
rather by chance than any prearrangeo
plan.
Bush described the man as about
feet inches tall, around 80 years ole
and white. He was dressed modishly
Bush said, in a light suit, a brown
oYercoat and gray felt hat. No one
in the neighborhood had seen the mar

have thrown down as he ran.

HOBBS INDICTMENT
is HELD Defective
Justice Cox Sustains Demurrer in
Mail Fraud Charge Today in
District Supreme Court.

Justice Joseph w. Cox, presiding in
the Criminal Division of the District
Supreme Court, has sustained a de-
murrer filed by Attorney Daniel Thew
Wright on behalf of James D. Hobbs TO
an indictment charging the former Of
fetal of the Wardman Construction Co.
with using the mails TO defraud in con-
nection with the management of prop
erty of John v. Morris. The court held
the indictment defective because of I'M
certainty and inconsistencies.
Because of the fact that the alleged
use Of the mails occurred in March and
August 1927, the statute of limitations
would bar another indictment, and
United States Attorney Rover is expect
ed to dismiss the indictment and take
no further steps in the matter.

Keeps S00-Watt Lights Burning With
Gulf Stream Power.

MANTANZAS, Cuba, October Z (P).-
Prof. Georges Claude, French scientist
and engineer, put nature to work here
last night and kept 40 5o0-watt cleo
trio lamps burning for more than a
half hour.
The feat eliminated fve years Of
constant and unremitting effort and
expenditure Of about 100000 of his
own money to finance scheme utilizing
thermal differences In surface water
from the Gulf Stream and water from
l 1900 feet below the surface to generate
steam, run turbine, drive a dynamo
and generate the electricity to light
the lamps.
A gathering of engineers and scien-
tific men saw the demonstration staged
by DR.. Claude in his laboratory. He
received with calm a chorus of con-
gratulations on his achievement, many
of them from those who in the last few
years have declared his scheme imprac-
ticable. Some said afterward the ex-
pertinent conceivably would revolution
ize the entire field of industrial power
methods.
Vacuum Turns Turbines.
DR.. Claude first pumped warm water
from the surface of Matanzas Bay. and
then, through mile-long tube sunk
], 300 feet below the surface of the sea,
from the depths. The warm surface
water was submitted to a vacuum and
became steam, finally Of sufficient power
to turn the turbine.
From the turbine the steam was sent
into tank, where the cold water con-
densed it, creating a new vacuum in
which new steam could be generated
as soon as the first vacuum was ex-
hausted, the alternate process to be
kept up indefinitely.
AS the turbine gathered speed and
finally attained several thousand revoIu-
tons minute it turned a dynamo and
the electric lights began to gliner and
then burn brightly. The experiment.
was kept up long enough to convince
even the most skeptical of success of
the generative methods.
Plans Larger Plant.
The only energy extraneous to the
process itself used by DR.. CLAUDE was
in keeping the pumps which brought
him warm and cold sea water going.
Skept1cs have expressed doubt that he
will be able to drive the pumps with
the power he generates and still have
enough left over for any practical pur-
poses.
He said that he would work for some
time longer to increase the efficiency of
his contrivance before going to Europe
for short while. Returning, he will
construct larger plant somewhere on
the coast of Cuba.
