ADAMS To PUSH.
WAR ON RATS
PEGGY

George ]. Adams, jr., secretary
Of the 1881 Cleanup Campaign,
declared today that he will fore
go social engagements this eve
ming to supervise personally the
trapping Of rates in the de-
molished Center Market section.
Mr.. Adams said he was not at
all satisfied with the progress
thus far in the rat determination
campaign. His decision to super
wise personally the trapping re-
suited from a request Of DR.. j.
Bozievich, Of the Department Of
Agriculture's geological division,
who is eager to obtain the dead
bodies of the type Of rats at the
Center Market section for exami-
nation.
The war on the rats was at a
standstill last might because the
new traps had been placed in the
store rooms of a local wrecking
company, and no one was able to
find the key to the room.

which she suffers" because he is
one of her bishops. The request
claims:
"The proceedings of the COM
mittee of investigation have
been kept secret and the public
is wondering what there is that
cannot be told"
In the meantime Bishop Can
mons friends have not been idle,
according to reports from Nash
vile, Tenn, where the College
of Bishops is in session. When
the church officials meet they
also will consider many indorse-
ments of the fiery church leader.
They point out that the col
lege has no authority to oust a
bishop, but that it can amend
the rules relating to the presi-
dency.
In Line for Presidency
Bishop Cannon. under the semi
ority rules, was to have become
president at the conclusion Of
the last meeting, but he was
under investigation at that time
and Bishop w. D. Beaucnamp,
Of Richmond, succeeded to the
presidency.
In the meantime Bishop Cannon
has asked Senator Nye, chairman
Of the Senate Campaign Funds
Committee, for a few days delay
in the hearing set for next
Wednesday on the 1928 cam
paign funds expenditures. The
Senator has declined to say
whether he would grant the re
quest.

early this week to resume the in.

plaintiffs, through attorney
George E. Sullivan, used another
tack in their suit by filing for a
money judgment for $5,050, rep
resenting the principal and in
terest of the notes they hold.
Although the declaration con-
tains but six lines, the affidavit
Of merit attached to the suit sets
out the same description Of the
financing plan contained in an
equity suit filed yesterday by an
other claimant.
The bank carried a special ac-

It is alleged that Immediately
following the making of the spe-

the investment firm to transfer
the fund to it's general checking
account, from which the bank
then received two large sums Of
money from the fund. leaving it
so depleted that there were not
sufficient funds remaining with

FIGHT PLANNED
!. ON HOOVER IN
PRIMARIES
Insurgents to Enter Favorite
Sons in Hope Of Sewing Up
State Delegations in 1882

p The first threat of real opposi-
ton to the denomination of Presi-
dent Hoover was discovered today
in the development of a cam
paign to enter progressive candi-
dates against him in the Republi-
can presidential primaries next
year.
There has been widespread agi-
tatiOn among the prOgreSsives for
entering Governor PinchOt Of
Pennsylvania, Senator BOrah (R.)
of Idaho, Senator Johnson (R.)
of California, Senator Norris tR.)
of Nebraska, and Senator La Fol-
lette, jr. (R.) of Wisconsin in the
Republican presidential race.
If the progressive rank and file
has it's way, these progressive
leaders will be candidates for the
Republican nomination next
spring.
BrOokhart Confirms Plan
Rumors that progressives will
fight the denomination Of Mr..
Hoover and seek to enter a num-
ber Of "favorite sons" against
him in State primaries. were
confirmed by Senator Brookhart
! (R.) of Iowa. Senator Brook
hart, who was one of the Presi-
dents outspoken supporters in
1928, has broken with Mr.. Hoover.
He said:
"There Is considerable agitar
tiOn among the PrOgresSives for
launching a campaign to nOIni-
nate a Progressive next year on
the Republican ticket. Pro
gressive candidates should run
against the President in every
State having a direct presi-
Dental primary.
Governor PinchOt certainly
can carry Pennsylvania, while
BOrah, Johnson, Norris and La
Toilette could each carry his
own State. Any one Of them
could carry Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio against Mr.. Hoover under
existing conditions.
BOrah Strong in South
81 realize the Presidents
friends are entrenched in the
South, but Senator BOrah has a
strong following in every South
ern State and might well carry
some Of them in convention.
Then, Young Bob La Toilette is
strong in the Northwest, as is
Norris, too, and they could take
few more States.
"StandpatterS and regular Re-
pubIicans are saying every day
that Mr.. Hoover hasn't q China
mans chance of being reelected.
1t is well within reason they will
help to nominate Progressive
If they share the same premOni-
tion Of defeat on the eve Of the
convention"
From other sources, it was
learned the Progressives intend to
continue their educational cam
paign" throughout the summer
and next winter. AS a matter Of
fact, they have been campaign
ing this spring with more vigor
than either the Administration or
Democratic ranks.
The Progressives feel they can
win the agricultural West against
both Administration and Demo
cratic opponents, particularly if
the prices Of farm products fail
to increase. They also feel the
unemployment cycle has given
them ardent support of organized
labor
