ROOSEVELT AT LUNCHEON
Nothing, However, Develops to Help
Candidacy of Governor.

HAMPTON BAYS, N. Y, July IS Up.
"A group of about $50 Democrats, all
good Smith men" and good Roosevelt
men," too, had luncheon together here
today with the leader of their party and
the man who next year may succeed
him as its standard bearer.
It was the largest gathering Of State
and national political figures at this
Long Island town since the days OF
Charles F. Murphy.
If the luncheon advanced the ambi-
lions of Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt
toward party leadership and the 1882
nomination for the presidency, there
was none in the party who would say
So Yet the guests, including Mr..
Smith and Gov. Roosevelt, all knew
that something along that line had
been expected by the Governors
hackers.
Norman e. Mack, Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman; James A. Farley,
Democratic State chairman; Edward j.
Flynn, Secretary of State, and Surro-
gate James A. Foley sat close to the
two central figures and talked about
everything except politics. Only Mr..
Mack and Secretary Flynn made state
ments and they were brevity itself.
Flynn said: THE great issue in 1882
will not be prohibition but prosperity"
Mack declared: II am for a wet
plank"
And that was ALL
The luncheon party today was ar
ranged by Basil O'Connor, Gov. Roose:
yelt's former law partner.

grad after taking in oil, gas and water
at Berlin. In spite OF the early hour,
great crowds gathered to give us an up
roarious farewell to which Prof. Rodolfe
Samoilovitch and DR.. Hugo Eckener
waved reply.
At 7 m the morning, flying at a
low altitude, we passed over kolbog, the
Baltic Summer resort, then shaped our
course southwark along the coast, pass
ing over Eastern Pomeran1a with our
bows pointed toward DanZig. We are
lust crossing the picturesque coast OF
East Gotland, Sweden, and are sailing
in the direction of the Gulf Of Finland.
The weather is perfect and the light
is so good that we have taken over 500
photographs so far, which we believe is
a record for so short space of time.
Last night in Berlin partook OF the
character of a whoopee party, and on
arriving in the morning hours at the
airport rather late, we found to our
painful surprise that the water tank
had been put to some other use and we
had to fetch water from the kitchen,
consequently only about half of us had
energy enough to shave. Since arrtv-
ing in Berlin we had taken in two tons
of water and four tons OF gasoline ana
the ship. therefore, is considerably
heavier than when it began the night
from Friedrichshaven.
We passed over Stettin and the Island
of Ruegen and then over the p1ctur-
esoue little towns of East Gotland, with
their medieval city walls still standing.
The view was absolutely enchanting. so
much so that Knute Eckener, son of
the Zeppelin's skipper. who was at the
controls, steered the ship doWnwards
to = $50 meters. We were. particularly
impressed by the sight OF three high
stone pillars which were used as galloWs
in the Middle Ages.

BUENOS AIRES, July 25.-Reports
reaching here from Chile tonight said
disorders and isolated shooting were
continuing in Santiago, the capital,
and that the number Of dead was now
estimated at nearly SO.
A campaign Of passive resistance
against President Ibanez was being
the reports said. A gen.
eral strike was considered likely by
Monday, following the strikes Of doc
tors, lawyers, dock workers, bank clerks,
school teachers and civil engineers,
which are now effective.
A crowd, which gathered before q
public building In the Gale San Fran
cisco this afternoon, was chased into
a building by the GARDENERS, who
shot several. A lawyer was shot and
killed as he entered San Vicente Hos
pital to visit his wife, 1t was said, and
q riot occurred at the funeral Of DR..
Hymie Pinto, who was killed earlier in

Planes Fly Over City.
Three airplanes new over the city
during the day, the report said, and
firing was reported when q crowd
gathered in the Plaza Italia.
Foreign business establishments in
the city were beginning to display
prominently their national colors. PreSi-
dent Ibanez called a meeting Of promi-
nent citizens for pm, but none came.
Advices from the provinces indicated
conditions of disorder there also, 1t was
said, particularly ct Conception.
Tense Silence Reigns.
The reports said Santiago was tensely
silent this afternoon and the shooting
and demonstrations which were city
wide had stopped by shortly after noon
following upon the killing Of a woman
among crowd Of demonstrators in the
Plaza ArmaS.
No cabinet session was reported to
have been held today and it was said
the country was being administered
under the direct orders of President
Ibanez and Premier Froedden.
The opposition seemed to be divided,
the report said, one group advocating
passive resistance in the form of a
general strike and the other advocating
force.
Armed guards were keeping order
and strict censorship was in opera
ton.
The street cars stopped running.

made frequent tours of the city.
When Detectives j. K. Baker and T.
M. McVearry came upon the parked
machine, they decided 1t answered the
description Of the nquor-peddling
cruiser of which they had heard.
Accordingly, Baker approached the
driver and, in his best nquor-buying
manner, asked for "a pint" And, both
he and McVearry reported, he got 1t.
Leaving a few minutes later, the de.
tectives had not only seven .pints OF
mobile. who identified himself as Mike
Marconis, 300 block Of Pennsylvania
avenue.
According to Baker, marked money
with which he purchased the liquor was
found on Marconis' person. Charged
with possession, MarconiS was released
on $500 bond, pending arraignment In
Police Court tomorrow.
In the 500 block Of M street four
members Of the squad made as many

detectives walked into the place, bought
a drink, saved some as evidence ana
walked out. LAIR two other members
Of the squad-V without a warrant

years old, Of the 500 block of Seward
square southeast; Ellen Lee Morris, ~

Police.

addition, it said. he and another officer
received $500 each in this case but he
did not make the purpose OF the So
called "bribe" clear, as the driver OF
the liquor car described was convicted
and now is serving a sentence.
Bride Taking Charged.
There we're charges also of bribe-
taking by police officers in the precincts
in connection with raids on gambling
places, speakeasies and diSorderly houses.
The author of the statement alleged
he finally decided to get in on the
graft" himself, especially after he had
been bawled out several times by his
superiors for raiding places that aleg-
eddy had paid for protection.
The names of numerous high police
officials are mentioned in the docu-
ment.
BIanton Knows Charges.
Apparently the grand-jury inveStiga-
ton is result of the charges made in
the 1929 statement or in some supple
mentary statement issued by Schenck
at Ieavenworth. The Star learned au-
thoritatively that prison officials know
of no new statement or athdavit by
Schenck. If he has made another state
ment. it was made without the consent
of the warden. This would not be i'm
possible, it is pointed out, in view OF the
efficient grapevine" channels through
which prisoners maintain surreptitlous
connection with the outside world.
Mr.. Blanton is known to be familiar
with the contents of the sensational
statement. but he denied last night at
his home in Abilene, Tex. that he in
tended to do anything about it now. He
also denied that he had received an
affidavit from Schenck containing the
charges in the statement.
Pleaded Guilty to Robbery.
If the grand jury investigates the
1929 charges, it will be necessary to
summon a large number of police on
GERS, former policemen and citizens
names are used In the statement.
Schenck'S career as a policeman was
colorful. He served in several pre-
cincts, but became best known for his
work as a vice raider in No. 8 pre-
cinct. He came to grief on March "a,
1929, when he was arrested on charge
of robbery. Two cases of robbery were
made out against him and he was put
in the District Jail to await grand
Jury action. He was indicted and at
his trial plead guilty to both charges.
He was given 10 years on each charge,
the terms to run concurrently, and was
committed to Leavenworth Penitentiary
on September 26, 1929.
