C0STAL CUTTER SEEKS STEAMER
Guardsmen Proceed to Cape Blanco Where Flotsam Appeared

San Francisco, Sept. IS (UP) = The coast guard cutter Cahokia to- day proceeded at full speed to a point off Cape Blanco, Ore. where the steam schooner South Coast was believed to have foundered with between Is and 20 men aboard.
 First news that the vessel was missing was received when two steamers reported to the Hydro- graphic office of the 18th naval sta- tion that they had seen deckhouse. an empty life boat and numerous logs-the South Coasts cargo-5oo miles north of here.
 The steamer schooner left Cres- cent City, Calif., Tuesday morning bound for Coos Bay, Ore, where it was due at a. m. Wednesday. Early today it had not been sighted at Coos Bay or other coast points.
 A heavy fog had enveloped the ships course since its departure although weather reports showed that the seas had been calm off Cape Blanco for the last three days-
 Carried No Explosives
 Officials of the Hobbs Wall com- pany, owners of the South Coast were unable to account for the re- ported accident as the ship carried no explosives and had been over the same route under the, same officers for number of weeks.
 The missing vessel carried no radio. which added to the alarm felt that a tragedy had occurred. I he Cahokia was not expected to arrive off Cape Blanco before noon.
 Company officials estimated the of men aboard as IS. with Captain Stanley Sorenson command ing
 The South Coast was wooden schooner built in 1887. It weighed S01 tons and was 131 feet long.

primary voting in Massachusetts discloses the assumption that Mir Buffers victory within the Repub- lican' party was not excessively dry. He obtained the nomination over Eben s. Draper by less than 10000 votes
 Mayor Bossy Gilis of Newbury- port, running for the senate nomin- ation on a wet platform got 22,0O0 votes. If Mir. Gillis' votes are added | to those of MT. Draper it would in- dicate approximately 10000 plural ity for the vets within the Repub lican party.
 Obviously some of the Gillis votes represent those who merely voted ] for "colorful character" without any regard to the wet platform.
 Had Gillis not been an extra" wet in the Republican primary race it is reasonable to suppose that the race between Butler and Draper would have been virtually even, with the likelihood of MT. Draper winning the nomination.
 It requires no vivid imagination to very little of MT. Gillis.
 Mir. Butler will go to the polls against Marcus A. Coolidge, modifl- cationist, who won the Democratic senatorial nomination over Joseph r. O'Connell, a straightforward wet, The other aspirants for the sena- torial nomination on the Democratic ticket turned out to be also-rans. MT. Coolidge favors a system of state control of the sale of bever- ages. His proposed system is in line with that advocated by Alfred E. Smith in 1928 and follows the Canadian model.
 The Massachusetts senatorial race, therefore, will be one between a dry and a modificationist. Mir Butler, to be sure, has made an inn portant statement on industrial matters. favoring a nationwide 4S- n1t orS, hA oh NH somewhat on how he would bring this about. It is probable that the Democrat will go as far as the Re- publican on any practical industrial plank; they usually go further.

AT WORK ON BOULDER DAM

Construction work on the Boulder Canyon Dam on the Colorado river has begun this week. Arizona still threatens to bring suit against the construction of the dam, but IL does not seem likely that the states legal activities will longer delay the great undertaking.
 The Boulder Dam project was passed by Congress in June, 1929, authorizing sl65, 5,000,o00 for con. struction of which $25,oO0, 900 Is debited against flood control. Since that time Secretary of the Interior Wilbur has negotiated contracts for the sale of power to various con- cerns and municipalities. Incident ally, the federal act declares the compact between the seven states affected as operative when ratified by six of the states. This has been done. the -ratifying state being Arizona.
 The objection of Arizona is worth analyzing. She claims that her pres ent use of Colorado river water is as great as that which will be accorded her after the dam is built so that she gains nothing from its construction so far IS water for irrigation pur- poses is concerned. Arizona has much arid territory and had hoped for more water with which to de- velop it. There is no objection, by the way, on the part of Arizona regard ing the manufacture and selling of power from the dam.
 AS compared with Arizona's fail- ure to obtain additional water, she sets forth that certain of the other states cannot use the full amount of the water allocated to them.
 These arguments bear much weight--in Arizona. In the other six states and by the federal govern ment they are considered as worth- less. The Government sets forth tha: the Boulder Dam will preserve Arizona's water rights; and that California and other states would be in better position than Arizona to claim rights to surplus water.
 The allocation of the power to be obtained from Boulder Dam is des- tined to benefit the entire South west. It is to be sold to establishes companies and 10 municipalities alike. Thirteen per cent of the power is allocated to the city of Los Ange. les, six per cent to other munici- palities in Southern California 36 per cent 10 the Metropolitan water district of Southern Califor- mia, nine per cent to the California Edison and associated companies and IS per cent each to Arizona and Nevada Considering the sparse population of the latter two states they will have plenty of power when the dam IS built-provided they can deliver it over the vast territories within their boundaries.

With the exception of Judge Bur

With the exception of Judge Bur rows, all the nominees have served with credit to the system. They have been office holders and have seem- ingly made good in the estimation of the moguls. That is to say, they have run their offices in exactly the man. ner expected of them.
 It's a great system It must relieve the boys of great deal of respon- sibility. If a problem comes up they don't even need to bother their heads to solve it, that being done for them.
 When the organization doesn't like how an office holder has carried on, however, punishment is swift and certain It acts like a firm who fires an executive for making a series of costly errors.
 The case referred to, of course re- fers to the nomination for attorney general. MT filling was not a candi- date for renomination, having been ill during a large part of his term, leaving ;he work 10 be done by Mir. Averill. The latter was candi- date for the nomination.
 But it so happened that Mir. Averill, as attorney general, sui fered defeats, the most galliDg 10 the organization being in the Levitt pub lie utilities case.
 In his stead is Judge Burrows. The latter was appointed during the presidency of Mir. Coolidge to the second federal judgeship after hav- ing had long experience in the Legislature. Judge Burrows has been unhappy as a federal judge, it is said, having found the work arduous and cXacting. He favored himself in getting back under the state wing. and intends to resign his judgeship. Perhaps the judge and some of his friends have been disconnected, too, that two important cases came to Judge Burrows attention shortly after his arrival on the bench, and in both of them his decisions were reversed. These were the famous Mary Ware Dennett alleged ob scene literature case. and the Macin- tosh citizenship case. Judges don't like being reversed on important cases MT. Burrows would be much happier as attorney general.
 Yet Mir. Averill fought the or ganization's fight valiantly. The act ing attorney general during the last two years did nothing less thar fight his cases according to the de- mandS Of the organization, ana the fact he gained no spectacular vic tories was due more to the weak nesses of the organizations case than being a reflection upon MT. Averill's abilities. Possibly. had he followed his own volition in the premises, he might have acted otherwise. The treatment accorded him, therefore, cannot be regarded as anything less than shabby. He should have been rewarded rather than condemned for his efforts on behalf of the state.
 If MT. Burrows runs into the same sort of cases as Mir. Averill he will be no happier as attorney general than he has been as a L. S. district judge,

LEVITT FAILS TO FIGHT

Professor Levitt is not a state Roosevelt. Unlike the Rough Rider after the Republican moguls in 1912 told him where to head in, he promises to be good.
 Theodore Roosevelt made no such promise. He proceeded to set up his third party and saw the utter dis comfiture of his detractors.
 Professor Levitt has detractors in this state-plenty of them. Virtually all of them are identified with the Roraback machine. He fought the machine quite nobly in the primaries, and made a small start toward upsetting the equilibrium of the steam roller.
 Since then he has lain down, prac- tically allowing it to run over him.
 What Professor Levitt and Mr. Pape should have done was to start third party They would have re- ceived plenty of votes: not enough to come within earshot of winning, perhaps, but enough 10 make the Roraback machinery creak badly.
 Incidentally, the Roraback ma chine might have been defeated through the third party by making it easier for the Democrats to put over Dean Cross.
 And let no one imagine for a moment that Dean Cross would not provide a first rate governor for Nutmegia.
 Professor Levitt, after the con- vention, declared that he would do nothing between now and election to embarrass the Republican ticket. 1. Mr. Pape evidently is of the same opinion.
 That must mean that they are ln- tent upon gaining the reputation of being good Republicans" during election campaigns but willing to peck away innocuously at the Re- publican machine between elections, when 1t makes no particular differ ence.
 The age needs men not only with convictions, but men who are will ing to enter a political fracas and fight for their convictions with the fanatical fervor of crusaders. It is not enough to be angry at some thing; it is more important, if re- suits are intended, to fight against the conditions that cause the anger and not quit near the climax
 Had Prof. Levitt and MT. Pape formed a third party and created a real political rumpus throughout the state the political chaos would have done more to clean up the Roraback machine than decades of boring from within" with the ac- cession of three delegates a year or so. After the machine of which he complains was thoroughly cleaned up, through the aid of the Demo- crats, Mir. Levitt, like Mir. Roosevelt before him, could make peace with the party on his own terms and be regarded as hero ever afterward.
 That's our idea of using a political battleaxe and getting somewhere with it. Prof. Levitt and MT. Pape give us the pained impression that they are too much inclined to use feather duster.

New York, Sept. 1S.-Three young rich high flying birds, spiral ing about Broadway. had their wings clipped recently and abrupt | ly. They now roost quietly around family firesides. The experiment was the last resort of distracted parents and so successful it be- the theme of a Broadway play.
 The lads were on a prolonged ] buJt, buying out speakeasies and night clubs and entertaining baby takers galore. Jag cures, Park ave- nue sanitariums and personal pleas 1 were tested 10 no avail. In the ex- | tremity a hard-boiled ex-marine and football coach was given the "kill or cure job.
 One by one the stayouts were turned over to him carte blanche to use his own methods. Always rough, he was at times brutal. He acted as their trainer and they had to obey or else. In the beginning all were belligerent bloated with booze and ndnBONerlSn resentment.
 He met defiance with a clip to the jaw that often snapped out the lights" That is after he had in- viegled them to his isolated camp in the Adirondacks. There he baited, hullied and in emergencies beat them but had his code of meeting squareness more than half way.
 They could not drink, smoke or leave the camp to "go girling." They were routed at down to tramp, chop trees. ride horseback and be ahed by 8 p. m. It was the Muldoon idea applied individually instead of collectively and with a far greater gusto.
 In each case regeneration requir- ed about three months. The first being one of terrific discipline with no quarter given. The second was a sort of thawing out frightened by a touch of the honor system. And at the end of the third trainer and ''pupil' were invariably pals.
 The boys returned toughened and whetted to a robust vitality. There has been no backsliding. Not one has taken single drink and only one has gone back to smoking. Each is stunning Broadway. In every case the trainer was not only given a salary but a grateful bonus.
 New York savings banks have fortunes in dormant unclaimed ac- counts. Many law firms trace the heirs for percentage. It all proves people once had money.
 Among Broadway grifters drift ing in these epic Autumn days are Monday guys" They are circus trailers who "clean up" on Monday wash days in the briar patches. While a household was out front watching the parade they strip back yard clothes lines. Loot is sold to members of the circus or carried to the next town to pawn.
 Smaller circuses or wagon shows, I am told, had vegas in the old days who actually had the safe blowing privileges in towns they visited.
 Private tutors paying personal visits are cutting into language school receipts. These instructors drop in at home or offices for a half hour at s2 a visit They speak only the language taught the pupil. Many are able to make ten visits day.
