VETS DENY SCHEME
TO RESTORE SALOON
Shouse Brands McAdoo's Statement
as Utter Misstatement" and
Backs G. o. P. Foe.

William Gibbs McAdoo's charge that
the Association Against the Prohibi-
ton Amendment and its president
Jouett Shouse, ARE now seeking to
restore the open saloon In America.
is an utter misstatement,' ShouSe
declared in a statement made public
yesterday.
The McAdoo charge was made In
Santa Barbara, Calf, after Shouse
had announced that he and his or
ganization would support Tallant
Tubbs, Republican candidate for the
Senate in California, against McAdoo,
because OF Tubbs' -prohlbltlon
stand.
The Association Against the Pro-
hibition Amendment has but one pur-
pose" said the Shouse statement,
that is to secure the repeal of con-
stitutional provision which it believes
must be eradicated in order TO cor
rect the intolerable conditions that
prevail today relative to the whole
vexed liquor problem. Its posi-
ton is exactly the position of the
Democratic platform upon which Mr.
McAdoo says he is running, namely
to return the entire question to the
control of the States.
1T is our privilege, and privilege
that we shall exercise very definitely
to give Endorsement to those candi-
dates who favor repeal of the eight
eenth amendment without equivooa-
ton or qualification. Such an in
dorsement has been given to the
candidacy Of Tallant Tubbs In Cali
fornia, similar Endorsements have been
given in other States. and other in
dorsements will be given where we
think the cause of repeal will be ad-
vanced, this without reference to the
partisan affiliations of the various
candidates"

CHICAGO, October 1.-The report Of
the Non-partisan Committee on Party
Platforms of the American Federation
of Labor was said today by William l..
Hutcheson, director Of the Labor Bu-
reau Of the Republican National Com
mittee, to be highly satisfactory" to
Republicans.
Hutcheson, who is associated with the
Brotherhood Of Carpenters, said In a
statement released by the Republican
National Committee:
Never has the domination and con-
troll of the Democratic party by the
anti-union South been given greater
emphasis than is given in this report.
There, side by side In deadly parallel.
are presented the denial of the anti
union Democratic South Of such funda-
mentals as the right of labor to organ
lie and bargain collectively. The rights
of free assemblage, free speech and q
free press so essential to the protection
and betterment of labor.
"As stated by President William Green
and his associates, he presented % re-
quests for planks to both Republican
and Democratic conventions. OF this
%, the report shows that the Repub-
licans definitely adopted 10, ignored II
and were not so definite on 2, as against
approved by the Democrats, 16 which
they avoided and on which they were
vague and ambiguous"
After reviewing the labor planks
adopted by each party, Hutcheson said
in conclusion: IF those who are pre-
senting the Democrats as the friends Of
labor can find any nourishment or en-
couragement in this record as presented
| by Mr. Green and his associates, they
are welcome to it."

1T was when Marshal Pilsudski, the

President of the republic and I, as
minister of foreign affairs, went with
him to the station to welcome our
guest.
All three of us, 80 years earlier
had been accustomed to meet at inter-
rational Socialist conventions. but II
was the first time we had been to-
gether since our rise to power.
We drove back to the Eiysee Palace
in an open landeau. the two Alexanders
(Pilsudski and MillerandD sitting side
by side. and I sitting opposite the
marshal. Milerand was busy tipping
his silk hat to left and right, and foI
some time not a word was spoken.
Suddenly Pilsudski, with a twinkle
in his eye, leaned toward me, and in
dicating the bowling Millerand asked
Tell me, Aristide, is that really he?
Then he tapped me on the knee and
asked again: And is this really you?
Then he sat back and thumped
himself on the chest and sighed: Is
this really I?'
II could not help bursting into
laughter, and Pilsudski's face as he
cast a sidelong glance at Millerand
wore a surprised grin. Millerand Just
went on bowling gravely."

CONTRACTOR ENTERS
CLAIM AGAINST U. S.
Says $4,735 Is Due After Clearing
of Sites for Washington Bo-
tanic Gardens.

Leon A. Harris. Washington con-
tractor, has filed suit against the Gov
eminent in the United States Court OF
Claims, seeking S4,735 which he claims
is due him for work done in clearing
the site and excavating for the new
Botanic Gardens at the foot of Capitol
Hill
Of this amount Harris pointed out in
his petition. $465 represents his con-
tract with the Government. and s4,270
represents the cost of excavating Gin
ders and stone chips to the amount OF
5000 cubic yards.
Harris said his claim for the sum
was disallowed by Controller General
McCarl, who assessed liquidated dam
ages at the rate Of s25 day for 81
days to a total of S525 because the
contract was not completed on time.
This took away his contract price of
S465, he points out. leaving him to owe
the Government "the additional sum of
s6G for being permitted to clear the

SEATTLE, October 1.-The heroism
of a 22-year-old seaman who swan
through a beating surf which a life
boat could not dare, to rescue the
three survivors of crew of 81 of the
freighter Nevada from lonely Aleutian
Island, was told today in the official re-
port Of Capt. r. j. Healy, commander
of the rescue liner President Madison.
When boats Of the Madison were
kept from shore E. Blomberg, youthful
able seaman, plunged into the surf with
a small line and swan to the rocks,
where he hauled in large line on
which suffering survivors were rescued.

The entire crew Of the President
Madison volunteered to man the two
small boats sent out in gale-driven seas
when the liner arrived alongside the
Japanese freighter Oregon Maru at the
scene Of the tragedy in the North Pa

Three seamen Of the Oregon Maru
were injured when one Of the lifeboatS
from that vessel capsized in the storm
while trying to reach the Nevada.
E. J. Stull, third officer Of the Madi-
son, was placed in charge Of the rescue
party.
The captains report of the rescue
reads:
The lowering Of the boats was per-
feet and also was their approach to the
beach. The President Madison. at that
time, was approximately a mile and a
half from the shore line, from which
point all operations could be closely OBJ
served. When the rescue party ap-
preached the beach the surf was break
ing SO high they could not land boat
THE launch was then anchored, they
drifted the life boat into the edge of
the surf and Mr. E. Blomberg, able sea-
man of the President Madison. age %,
took small line and swan to the rocks.
He then hauled larger line ashore with
the life buoy and life preservers. and
managed to get the three man survivors
through the surf to the life boat, after
which he followed.
Declared Epic.
1.-THE heroic action of this American
seaman is an historical epic of the high
seas, and is marvellous tribute to the
cause of American shipping When the
third officer, Mr.. Stull, called for VOL

The probable Interpretation of this

that it was made by positively
charged atomic particle of such small
mass that it is entirely out of line with
previous atomic conceptions.
For many years physicists have based
their picture of the atom on the theory
that the mass of proton, one OF the
positively charged particles in the nu-
cleus or heart of the atom, was more
than a thousand times that of an cleo
tron. one of the negatively charged
particles which fly about the nucleus.
DR.. Anderson warned against prema-

DR.. Robert A. Millikan, orld-famous
scientist, who was present, stated the
results of DR.. Anderson's photograph

the scientific realm.
Other scientists said the photograph
indicated the mass of the proton has
shrunk to that of an electron, and that
what was first thought to be part of
the proton actually is mass of un-
identified. neutrally charged material in
