SECRET REPORT LEAVES FRANCE
 FOR GERMANY
Report Is Said to Have Amounted to an Ultima= tum From France-Ger= many May Agree to Some of It
By SAMUEL DASHIELL United Press Stan COrreSpOnden


 Paris, July 11-UP)-Dr Hang Luther, head of the German Reichs- bank, left for Berlin by airplane at 10:40 a. m. to-day, with a secret report" on his loan conversations with French officials.
 The report, the United Press un- derstood, amounted practically to a French ultimatum that Germany must make a gesture proving her interest in the peace of Europe be- fore France will cooperate in an international movement to stabilize Germany's economic situation.
 Dr. Luther refused to make a statement as he hastened to Berlin, via Cologne, to report to the Ger man government at an urgent cab inet meeting on the outcome of his mission.

 Washington, July 11.-(UP)- President Hoover's moratorium pro- posal has spurred new hope among friends of Owen D. Young, activity concerning the democratic presiden- tial nomination is most noticea ble among friends of Governor Frank lin D. Roosevelt of New York.
 They are setting up campaign or ganizations in many places. Daily dispatches are now reporting Roose- velt-for-president clubs in Illinois, on the Pacific coast and even in Hawaii The strategy of Roosevelt's s friends is to round up enough dele gates in advance so that he can storm the two-thirds line and break through it on the first ballot as AL fred E. Smith did in 1928.
 A deadlock or delay in the con- vention might be fatal since many influential insiders are believed to

was stopped by United States Off
GERS, but not held.
At that time Davis was out on
bond pending decision of charge
of grand theft against him in the
superior court here. Since Imper-
ial county had prior hold on Davis,
he was not arrested for the MeXi-
cali brawl.
Later Davis was acquitted by
jury here, which decided that cvi-
dencc was insufficient to convict.
Whether Mexican authorities will
ask his arrest and eXtradition is
rot known.

ed by knife in the hands of N. j.

No Room in Canada.
From the Hamilton tontario) Spectator

Prom the Hamilton (Ontario) Spectator.
It Is rumored in Toronto that Al Ca.
pone, Chicago's overload of vice, is the
man behind a racing information serv-
Ice which has been established in the
Queen City. The story Is told that the
ton service was approached by Capone
representatives and invited to form q
merger Of interests, which would result
only in his dividing his profits with
his partners instead Of keeping them
for himself. This is what Is known in
big cities across the line as "muscling-
in" and the Toronto man Is said to
have rejected the overtures. The To-
ronto police say the rumors are a lot
Of bosh. that the capone syndicate was
in no way implicated. For the peace
Of mind Of the Canadian public 1t would
be well, We suggest, to make sure. There
Is no room in Canada for Capone, for
any Of his henchmen or for the things
his name stands for. Much better 1t
would be to keep Caponism out than
to attempt to combat it after It had
secured a foothold. The authorities
must maintain unceasing vigilance to
prevent racketeers from pitching their
tents on this side of the boundary line.
have been organized" by the racketeer-
ing gentry, and they might be tempted
to extend their operations to Canada.
The severity Of our laws and the re-
fusal Of our courts to compromise with
the criminal class should be a deterrent,
but greed is Q spur that may goad them
into trying their luck. The Toronto
police, instead Of just diScounting the
rumors that Capone has tried to declare
himself Gin" In the Queen City, should
make rigid inquiries and absolutely
satisfy themselves there are no grounds
for the story.

Another Excursion Horror.

Again the sea has taken heavy toll
of life. Swirling with angry violence
upon q small steamer bearing excur-
sionists back to st. Nazaire from the
Island Of Noirmoutier, on the western
coast Of France, it caused the craft to
careen and then. when the frightened
passengers swarmed to the apparently
safe side Of the ship, to capSize, fiingtng
$50 people into the sea. OF these only
eight were rescued. There was no hope
whatever for the other men, women
and children. plunged to death on their
return from q happy Sunday outing.
The Isle Of Noirmoutier is to St.
Nazaire about what Catalina Island is
to Los Angeles, an excursion point Of
great popularity, and lying at about
the same distance from the port. Yes
terday the sea was rough, and so dis
turbed were the passengers on the run
down to the island from st. NaZaire
that on the return trip seventeen Of
them refused to board the two hun
0AC0obO1l otC0AhCA Atlu IGh1AlnSu ESkAVAC,
thus saving their lives. The Inflated
ship was named the st. Philpert, In
honor Of an abbot who founded q mon
astery at Noirmoutier about A. D. $780,
His tomb on the island Is q pilgrimage
point. The tragedy Is intensified by
the fact that the ship bore the name
Of the holy man whose fame drew the
hundreds Of victims upon their fatal
voyage.
BY a singular coincidence, the disaster
near st. Nazaire came within q day Of
falling upon the anniversary Of the loss
of the steamer General Slocum in the
East River Of New York twenty-seven
years ago. On the 18th of June, 1904,
that great excursion ship. which In the
course Of many years had carried literal
ly millions Of people on pleasure outings.
caught fre and was burned to the
waters edge with q loss Of 1,021 lives
Of the 1881 on board. That was per-
hapS the most CHASTITY tragedy Of the
kind in American history. A few years
later. July "A, 1915. the steamer East
land capsized at her pier in the Chicago
River and S12 Of the 1000 on board were
drowned. The tragedy at st. Nazaire is
the greater In proportion inasmuch Is
only eight out Of $50 were rescued.
There will, of course, be an inquiry
and perhaps there will be some attempt
to TX responsibility for the disaster.
which now appears to have been due TO
the overcrowding Of . small boat In
heavy weather. There could be no In
surance against storm. but the prac-
tice of sending excursionists to sea in
unsafe numbers on frail craft is bad
one regardless Of the weather. No mat
ter how many times before the little
ship had made the run with crowded
decks in safety. 1t was, Is this catas-
trophe proves. In peril on every occasion.

But the conference may have accom-

political party which ceases to interest

not live long. 1t is to the young voters
as well as to the old that the Repub-
lican party must look next year. The
Republican leaders themselves realize
they have real battle on their hands
in the coming national campaign. II
Is not surprising that they are seeking
to marshal their forces this early in the
contest.
The conference came to an end with.
out stirring up controversial subjects
such as prohibition. The Young Re-

they may have differed widely. But
there was no effort In this conference t.

Labrador on the Market.
From the indianapolis Star.

From the Indianapolis Star.
No great international furry Is likely
to result from the reported plan Of
Newfoundland to sell Labrador to the
highest bidder. A European syndicate
is said TO have offered 100000 900 for
the territory, the identity of the
proposed buyers not being dis
closed. The sale, If one were to be
made, would not involve transfer Of
sovereignty. Whoever might be the
purchaser would have to accept title
under the British government, so that
there Is no chance for some other nation
or syndicate to set UP government in
the New World.
Labrador is a dependency Of New
foundland, which is British colony.
The Canadian government has been re-
ported as urged to buy Labrador and
would be the logical owner in case there
were to be transfer of title. Labrador
joins Canada on the east and at present
Is little more than a bleak, desolate
stretch Of waste extending along the
Atlantic coast from the Gulf OF St.
Lawrence to Hudson Strait. It u sup
posed to be rich In minerals and at
present yields . generous return to-
fishers and fur trappers.
Although Newfoundland has jurisdic-
ton over Labrador, it could not transfer
title to another nation. Similar cases,
on much smaller scale, exist in the
Bahamas, where there are many small
islands. The title to some OF them
has been acquired by wealthy men Of
this country. The owners have Winter
homes on the islands and have undis.
puted title TO their possessions. but the
Islands continue 70 be British, so far

Young Republicans.

The first Conference of Young Re-
publicanS, held here last week. was
remarkable in several respects In the
1irst place, 1t brought together q large
group Of young men and young women
who have interested themselves in
politics. They came from practically
every State In the Union-North, South,
East and Wcst-and their youth and
enthusiasm were not the least of the
assets Of such q gathering. In the
second place, the word was trumpeted
forth, not by the young Republicans
alone, but by the seniors of the @. o. p,
the seasoned leaders of the party, that
President Hoover is to be renominated.
This proposal to rename the President
was not new, but 1t was given especial
emphasis at n time when Progress
sives" and Democrats have been striv-
ing to give the impression that such
diasension exists among the Republic
cans that perhaps, after all, 1t would
not be possible for Mr.. Hoover to have
the nomination to succeed himself next
gear.
The purpose of the Conference Of
Young Republicans undoubtedly was
not alone to stir up enthusiasm among
the young people, but to focus atten-
ton on the @. O. P., its presidential
candidate for next year and its "prin-
ciples." A conference of older Repub-
licans might have had the same effect.
but the gathering of the younger group
was something new and also gave q
good excuse for meeting of this char.
acter. With delegates to the confer
enoe meeting in the National Capital
from all the States, to be addressed by
the leaders of the party, It was obvious
that the proceedings Of the conference
would be given wide publicity. And
they were.
The conference served as . forum Of
the first class for such stalwart Repub-
1icans as Senator Fess Of Ohio. CHAIR
man Of the Republican National Com
uittee, and Secretary Hyde Of the De-
