ROOSEVELT AND
 AL SMITH WERE IN CONFERENCE
Assured of New England
 Vote Said Al to Cow
 Happy Reunion of the Two Democrat Leaders,
BY FREDERICK A. sTRoMf

BY FREDERICK A. STROM (United Press Stan Correspondent
 Albany, N. Y, Oct 29-(U. P.o Governor. Franklin D. Roosevelt to-day continued his drive to win the New England States to his ban ner. after an "old home'' reunion, with Alfred E. Smith in the execu- tive mansion last night.
 The governor, preparing to leave for Massachusetts at noon to-day, received from the former democra- tic presidential nominee, assurance, es that any grievances felt by Smith supporters in that state, had been wiped out' by the harmony campaign.
 Roosevelt's itinerary, as an- nounced by his managers, was as follows:
 Leave Albany at noon; arrive at Massachusetts state line at p. m., Thereafter travelling to Groton, where his two sons are at school, by way of Williamstown, North Adams, Greenfield, Orange, Athol, Gardner, Fitchburg, and Ayre. where he expects to arrive at 6:45 p. m.
 The governor will remain in Gro ton until Monday, and then visit Boston, with q possible side trip to Portland, Me, if he has time.
 The visit of Al Smith at the ex- ecutive mansion came at the close of the former governors vigorous campaign through MaSsachusetts for the present nominee. It came as the result, more than anything else,s of a telephoned invitation from Roosevelt, who said he want ed to congratulate and thank Smith for his splendid speeches."
 For an hour and a half, the two men chatted in front of a fireplace in the study. At its conclusion, they received newspaper men, and em- phasized their friendliness. <
 Responding to questions as to whether this was Ian old-fashion- ed Frank and Al get-together." "Go as far as you like. If we were a couple of Frenchmen, we'd kiss each other. AS it is, we have to rely on a 'handsl1ake."a
 "We talked about the campaign and the situation" the governor e1Rlanaey; 1And you don't see any blood on us, do you?" Smith added.
 'I came here on the invitation of the governor" Smith continued, more formally, Ito report to him on what I had found out about the situation in New England. told him I was certain he would carry the states through which I passed Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island-ar1d that they were surely in the democratic column.
 Except on public occasions. not. ably when the first reconciliation took place at the democratic state convention, last night was the first time the two men. have met since the Chicago controversy.

''It Is true," he said, that about nine million dollars Is being ex- pended in capital Improvements during. the present biennial period.
 "In my opinion, the expenditure was necessary. I should like to know what items would have been eliminated by a purely republican administration of affairs of the state.
 When I was elected governor, it was notorious that the sanatoria for tubercular patients were in- adequate. There was 8 waiting list of nearly five hundred patients. Instances came to my knowledge of patients on the waiting list for months who died before beds were available for them.
 Tt was my endeavor to make additions to the sanatOria ample for all suffering from this dread disease, so that they might re- ceive treatment in the early stages of the disease when there Is a good prospect for recovery. Ac- cordingly, new buildings were provided at Cedarcrest, at Uncas- on-the- Thames and at Laurel Heights. Does the republican or- ganization object to this policy? "The sanatorium at Mantle for children was nothing but an old wooden building. The question of a modern fire-proof building had been hanging fire for many years. owing to the fact that it had been impossible to purchase sufficient adjoining land for modern ire proof building. Everybody knows about the McCook legal tangle. Soon after my inauguration, an ample new site was purchased at Waterford, near New London, on ium is being built and should be i ready for patients in the spring. Does the republican organizati object to what has been done for the benefit of the tubercular chill dren of the state?
 "The ol6 buildings at the Meri- den School for Boys have been re- moved, and in their place has been erected a beautiful quadrangle. Does the republican organization object to what has been done for the boys?
 Likewise, is there objection to the rapid progress on the new buildings at the Fairfield Hospi- tai for the Insane. the new build- ings at the Mansfield State Train- ing School and Hospital, and the new dormitory at the State Agri- cultural College; or to the new are mory in West Haven?
 For, e long time, the state has tried to purchase farm for the state prison. A farm of fifteen hundred acres was purchased last year in Enfield for $130.000. Ap- proximateiy one hundred prisoners have been transferred to the farm from Wethersheld. The new treat. ment of prisoners Is working to the satisfaction of the warden and all others concerned. Is objection made to this purchase?
 "A fine tract of land, compris. ing more than six hundred acref was purchased at Rocky Mock ai a ssAshore park for the eitizoni Of ths state. During the last sum. msr, It has been q recreation park for thousands Of people. is 0bjte. ton made to this purchaser

Reappointments
 Wait On Election
(Continued from Page 1)

If the democrats get into con- trol of the senate they will be in a position to block any and all postmaster nominations coming from President Hoover at the lame duck session of congress whicn opens next month at Washington.
 Heretofore, it has been felt that the republicans would have entire selection of the postmasters for the fifth congressional district despite November Sth.
 The Stewart election, though. will change the whole outlay. If the democrats win and MT stewart is victorious the democratic major ity in the senate will undoubtedly turn back any recommendation of President Hoover's calling for the reappointment of Postmaster Col grove and others whose terms come up for legislative action at the lame-duck session of congress.
 The change in the feelings of Postmaster Colgrove and others In the fifth district coming up for re- appointment in January is said to have been quite noticeable. Worry has set in where confidence was be. fore. If. of course. Judge Martin E. Gormiey of Naugatuek. the demo. cratic nominee for congress, is vic- tori0ns, he will have the picking of the postmasters in this section of the state, tt is felt.
 The outcome of the dsm0cratic campaign In New Jersey is being watched by other parts Of Connse. tleut and by the entire country, also, because his victory will mean that the democratic party viii have patronage 10 hand out in the iamesduek session and the fepubs IicaDe will hs iB the minority and unable te de anything.

NONRESIDENT
 TR0LLERS' TAX
 IS WIPED OUT
Appellate Court Declares $25O Territorial Tax
 to Be Invalid

The Alaska nonresident troll fishermen's license tax of $25O enacted by the Territorial Legis- lature in 1929, was today declared invalid by the United States Cir cult Court of Appeals for the Ninth District, San Francisco, and w. G. Smith, Territorial Treasurer, was permanently enjoined from collecting that tax according to an Associated Press dispatch received by The Empire.
 The Appellate Court said the power of the Alaska Legislature to levy taxes is "so limited it can not be used to nullify an Act of Congress" Its decision reverses the ruling of Judge Justin w. Harding in the local Federal dis trict court.
 Freeman Gets Decree
 The permanent decree against Treasurer Smith was issued by the Appellate Court to Wood Freeman, Tacoma troller, who brought the action against Smith to prevent collection of the nonresident tax It is the second time the higher court has had the matter before 1t for consideration. It was up about one year ago on a ruling on a demurrer, and was decided in favor of Freeman. Brought here for trial on the issues, the local court decided in favor of the Ter ritory.' Freeman, represented by H L. Faulkner agin appealed.
 Testimony was presented by Freeman in the trial to show that the average return yearly to the trollers was about $500. The Ter ritory contended it was S3,000 or more annually.
 Violates Fisheries Law
 The Appeliace Court pointed out that in 1924 Congress passed law, the so-called White Bill, granting all of the citizens of the United States the right to fish in Alaskan waters under certain reg ulations.
 Declaring the Territorial Leg islature's power to levy trade is so limited it cannot nullify an act of Congress" the Court of Appeals added:
 We conclude the exaction of 30 per cent of the net receipts as a license fee is unreasonable and an infringement on the right to fish even, if as alleged by Smith, a skilled fisherman who devotes his entire time to fishing the en- tire season, catches fish valued at $3,00O."
