IN MYSTERY :

BOOTHBAY HARBOR, Me-,
Dec. 8 QNS0.-The mystery
woman Of Hendricks Head Light.
whose body was given up by the
sea, may have been the victim Of
o rum runners feud.
This possibility loomed today
when an Army code expert in BoS-
ton expressed the opinion that the
cryptic note Of numerals and let
ters found wrapped in a dress
shield in the handbag Of Louise
g. Meade, of Pittsburgh, might be
q smuggler's cryptograr1.
Strange Marks Found
In two columns down the long
sides Of a sheet of paper taken
from an ordinary 21a-inch pad
were written in blue ink with, a
pen:
dOoo11ss7 IT'S
1l-2O 439
N1194667
90 R316238
> 9

The theory was advanced that
the lines with the letters preced'
ing the numerals were numbers
on currency and the smaller fig
ures were dates and the number
Of cases and barrels.
Identification Scheme
Bootleggers have been known
to tear a bill Of large denomina-
ton in half, one-half being
given to the captain of a rum
running vessel and the other
half remaining in possession of
the bootlegger ashore. In re-
ceiving the contraband, the agent
identified himself by means of
the torn bill.
In the handbag with the dress
shield was $13.24 in cash and a
small calendar blotter with the
November 6, IL, IA and 18 dates
marked. The pocketbook was
fastened to a mans belt around
the woman's waist, as was an
electric iron, apparently used as
a weight.

The business men who urge
revision Of the antitrust laws
are expected not to demand a
breakdown of the fundamental
principles Of these statutes.
There are several admins
trative features of the Sherman
and Clayton acts which should
be changed, however. in the
opinion of both Government and

merce officials.
Industries and producers should
be given the authority. under
guidance of the Federal Trade
Commission or some other agency,
to make agreements which would
conserve natural resources such
as oil, coal. lumber and others,
they believe.
Destructive competition, held as
one cause of depre-- onS through
reckless price-cutting and over
production, could be eliminated,
officials believe, through intra.
industrial agreements which are
now illegal under the Sherman
act.
Another proposed change in
antitrust policy would involve a
determination in advance wheth-
er proposed combinations and

the laws.

said:

Only Twelve Cities Have Seen Big Party Con-
 ventlonS
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 28- Chicago, in the market for both the Republican and Democratic Na- tional Conventions in 1892, is the record holding host to delegates of the two major parties.
 Ten Republican and four Demo- cratic conventions have been held in the metropolis of the prairies.
 Baltimore, strategic center of the early day Democracy, holds sec ond honors with 10 major conven- tions. The Democrats met there nine times to name presidential candidates, and the Republicans in- vaded the "enemy's city" in 1864 to renominate Lincoln.
 The A conventions of the two big parties, 25 Democratic and l9 have been held in 12 cities. St. Louis ranks third on the list with four Democratic and one meeting.
 Cincinnati, which hasn't had 8 national convention since 1880, and Philadelphia, which had it's last one in 1900. are tied for fourth place with three each.

vention of 1924. The latter was the longest convention on record, last ing almost three weeks.
 Cleveland and San Francisco, both ranked among the leading contenders for 1882 conventions, have had one convention each. The nomination of Calvin Coolidge took place in Cleveland in 1924 and James M. Cox of Ohio, was selected by the Democrats in San Francisco in 1920.
 Other cities which have had one major party convention are Mlnne- apolis, Denver and Houston. The Republicans, meeting in the Minne- sota metropolis in 1892, nominated Benjamin Harrison for President and Whitelaw Reid for Vice Presi- dent.
 Bryan's last nomination took place at the Democratic convention in 1908 in Denver. John w, Kern of Indiana was his running mate The first Democratic convention to be held in the deep south" was at Houston in 1928, when Alfred E Smith was the nominee.
 Beginning in 1882, the first six conventions of the Democratic par ty were held in Baltimore.

R ROOSEVELT TO HAVE UPSTATE INVESTIGATIONS
Tammany Break Averted when Governor Asks for
 Investigation of COP.

.1 .A ALBANY. N. Y, Aug. 28.-Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Tam many appeared today further from a break than it has been believed possible for some time. A break in their relations was believed inev- itable on account of the Governors S insistance in calling the special session of the Legislature to in- crease the powers of the commit tee that is investigating New York City Government. Immediately aft CT he had called the, session war clouds were hanging low.
 However, the Republican Legis- lature was given distinct sur prise and severe shock upon re- ceiving message from Gov. Roose- welt urging that it provide for the investigation of charges of cor ruption in upstate communities which Republicans controlled.
 Resentment in Democratic circles at the special session had gone so far that newspapers were discuss ing possible reprisals against the Governor at the Democratic Ma tional Convention and even at the polls should he be nominated for President. Now Tammany leaders are openly expressing pleasure at the attitude of the Governor in acceding to their demands for up- State investigations.

CHICAGO, H., Aug. 28.-Three theatres, whose owners recently substituted eastern motion picture operators for those of the local union, were bombed early today.
 One bomb exploded in the rear of the Ridge Theatre and caused slight injuries to two small chil- dren who were thrown from their beds in an apartment building across the alley. The manager of the theatre estimated the damage at $2,00o.
 At the Olympia Theatre more than a dozen windows were broken in the adjacent Chicago University Settlement House, showering the sleeping occupants with shattered glass.
 The third bomb was exploded in the Ray Theatre where the damage to sound equipment on the stage, and to the interior of the audi torium, is estimated at 5000.
 Three former operators of the theatres have been ordered to be arrested.

 Two bottles from Juneau, light brown and foamy, were exhibit @" in the Governments case against Howard L. Bryant. seaman of the cutter, charged with attempting to smuggle the bottles aboard.
 Assistant Surgeon ward M. Hand took drink and said that in his opinion, based on past ex- ,perience and examination of this home made brew, the alcoholic con- tent was sufficient to be intoxi- eating. Five members of the court martial refused his invitation to drink.
 Lieut.. Reginald French, charged with alleged drunkenness, and ac- quilted yesterday by the court mar tial. will be witness against Bry- ant. Bryant said he found the bottles on a Juneau dock and Bry- ants attorney said Bryant made no attempt to take the bottles aboard and they were left on the dock.
