ROOSEVELT MAY
SHUN CONCLAVE

NEW YORK, May 10. GN.S0.
Even though Alfred E. Smith will
be on the floor as a delegate in
the Democratic national conven-
ton in Chicago next month,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, New York's
other presidential aspirant, may
not go to Chicago for the big
political show.
Governor Roosevelt may elect to
remain at the State capitol at
Albany and direct his fight for
the presidential nomination from
there.
He will be back in Albany from
his vacation at Warm Springs,
Ga, about June !, when his cam
paign will be entering its final
and crucial stage.
Roosevelt, it was said today at
his New York headquarters, has
not made up his mind definitely
whether to go to Chicago or not.
The Roosevelt-Smith breach has
undergone no change in the past
week. Former Governor Smith is
keeping his own counsel and
watching political developments
closely. At the Smith headquar-
ters, no undue political activity
can be diScerned.

OUTLAW UNIONS
ASSA|LED IN
SENATE
Allied With GangSterS, Says
Railway Speaker at
WiIkerSon Hearing

Efforts of legitimate labor
organizations in Chicago to
break up "outlaw unions
were detailed today at hear
ings on the nomination of Fed
eral Judge James H. Wilker-
son to the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals.
Donald Richberg, of Chicago,
speaking for the Railway Brother
hoods, explained to the Senate
Judiciary subcommittee some of
the methods under which the out.
law unions muscle in"
Slugging, terrorism, and liai-
son with underworld figures led
by AL Capone, have been used by
these organizations to extort
money alike from employees and
employers, Richberg declared. He
added:
zone outlaw union placed AL
CapOne on its board of di.
rectOrs, hoping no doubt, to
obtain underworld protection
in its racket"
Richberg denied there is any
link between efforts Of the legiti-
mate labor unions to defeat
Wilkerson'S confirmation and ef-
forts which underworld char
acterS are asserted to have made
against the Judge. Wilkerson re-
Gently sentenced AL Capone to a
long term in the Federal peni.
tentiary.
Senator Dill CD Of Washing
ton said:
"NO evidence has been pre-
sented to this committee to
show that the Chicago under.
world is making q fight against
Judge WilkerSOn."
Senator Borah (R) Of Idaho,
chairman of the subcommittee,
agreed with Dill's statement.

Governor Not Sure of Support
for denomination in Case
He Fails in Chicago

ALBANY, N. Y, May 10
G.N.S.).-If Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt loses his fight for
the Democratic presidential
nomination he may be denied
denomination for governor by
Democratic State leaders, ac-
cording to reports today at
the Capitol.
It is known that the subject
Of RooSevelt's denomination for
governor has been discussed by
the five leaders who took control
of the Democratic State COM
mittee away from Roosevelt at
its recent meeting, but that no
decision had been reached.
Leaders in Control
The leaders who now have an
ironclad grip on the State or.
ganiZation are John r. Curry,
Tammany Hall chieftain; John
H. McCooey, Of Brooklyn; Ed
ward ]. o'Connell, Of Albany;
M. william Bray, Of Utica, and
william H. Kelley, Of Syracuse.
Controlling between so and so
Of New York'S "a delegates to
the national convention, these
leaders have refused to endorse
Governor Roosevelt's presidential
candidacy.
On numerous occasions In the
last few months these leaders
have indicated they were not over
friendly to Roosevelt.
Hasn't "PIayed Ball'
Democratic State leaders are
said to take the position that
Governor Roosevelt has not
played ball" with them during
the four years he has occupied
the chair Of chief executive.
Governor Roosevelt has limited
on several occasions, however,
that he expects to be q candidate
for denomination for governor in
the event he Is not successful
at Chicago next month.
Reports that United States
Senator Robert F. Wagner may
be a candidate for, governor are
not taken seriously at the Capitol.

GASTON MEANS
INDICTED
Continued from Page -

Continued from Page ~
cording to the story Means is
quoted as telling, he believed the
man to be an agent Of Mrs. Nc
Lean, and he turned the $10O, ,000
over to him.
Search has failed to reveal
either the man or the money.
Early trial of Means under the
indictments is expected.
Means cannot be convicted
under both indictments, as the
identical charges are contained
in each. The reason for the
Grand Jury returning both ap'
parently was to prevent technical
fights over whether the alleged
acts of the investigator constitute
embezzlement or whether, under
the wording of the statutes, they
constitute larceny after trust.
The maximum penalty upon
conviction on both counts OF
either indictment is 20 years i'm
prisonment and $4,000 fine. The
maximum upon conviction on
only one count would be 10 years
and $1,000 fine.
Apparently the only. new devel
opment of the last "a hours has
been the report from Concord
N. c., the home town Of Means,
that the alleged negotiators from
the adopted child of Mr.. and Mrs,
Victor Camp have been identified
Mrs. Fannie Hill and Joe p
Fisher are said to have told in.
vestigatorS that they advised
Camp to charge admission to see
the child because it resembled the

HALF A BILLION
PROMISED BY
4PCT. BEER
Connecticut Man Would Put
Levy at $6 Barrel, Change
VoIStead Law Rule

Elimination of 1878, 900, ,0OO
of miscellaneous taxes by sub.
stitution of a tax on legalized
beer in the new revenue bill
was proposed in the Senate to-
day by Senator Bingham (R.)
of Connecticut.
He offered an amendment to
the pending tax bill, legalizing
beer, making it subject to . tax
of So q barrel and wiping out
Increased postal rates and the
proposed communication, radio
and phonograph taxes. His
amendment would also reduce
the Senate's proposed rates on
income, lubricating oil and auto
mobile taxes.
win Net $5OO,OOO,OOO
Bingham declared the beer tax
would bring in $500,000,OO0 a
year in revenue, declaring:
''This amendment not only
eliminates the worst Of the
nuisance taxes, but it will inn
mediateIy restore work to hun
dreds Of thousands Of unem-
plOycd and provide . new
market for grain, coal, trans
pOrtatiOn and numerous other
articles for which there is now
no demand"
The amendment would legalize
4 per cent beer by modifying the
Nolstead act.
It was regarded as reopenine
the whole prohibition issue in q
manner likely to project 1t into
the senatorial campaigns this fall
Changes Suggested
Bingham proposed the beer taG
as q specific substitute for some
Of the so-called nuisance taxes
In the pending bill. BY taxing
beer, he suggested the following
changes in the Senate bill:
A reduction Of normal income
taxes to the House rates at saw
ing Of $29, 900, 600 to taxpayers; q
reduction in automobile taxes to
the House rates, saving 1900,
900, and q reduction in the lubri
eating oil tax from 4 to 2 cents
gallon, at saving of $22, 2,000, 600
He proposed complete elimina
tion of all postal rate increases, in
cluding the advance from 2 to 8
cents an ounce in first-claSs rates
and the boosts put on second-claSs
rates by the Senate Finance Com
mittee.
Sees $5OO,OOO,OOO Revenue
This would save the public $3.50.
100000 in postal charges.
He also proposed elimination oi
the $110,000,O00 Senate amuse
ment tax, the $24,0OO,0OO tax or
kilograms and telephone calls, anc
the $11,000, 900 tax on radios anc
monographs.
His amendment would strike the
words "one-half Of one per cent
from the Volstead law, and sub
stitute the words -four per cent,
8 thus permitting the manufacture
everywhere of real beer. If thi'
were done the long ignored So q
barrel tax on legal beer would be
come effective.
Bingham estimated the tax, L
permitted to become effective, or
non-intoxicating beer would brinl
almost $500,000,000 in revenue
annually.

COMMUNICATION
Fairbanks, Alaska Feb. 19, 1882.

Seward Gateway:
 T had in mind writing you in reference to the International Highway. Don't you think but what this is a most opportune time for the Chambers of Commerce along the Pacific Coast, and Alaska, to take the matter of immediately starting the construction of this much needed road up with the Federal government? It seems to me that if work was started on this road, and on the Grand Coulee dam on the Columbia River, that it would go long way towards re- heving a situation which has be- come most distressing all over the country.
 Tt may not help your section as much as the Interior, but I know that you are, like myself, anxious to develop the Territory as a whole. And from my point of view it will take long, long time to do this, unless we can in some way get the people to come in and see for themselves. They don't have to be wealthy, or be mining experts, just the average plain Cheechaco of the inQuiSitive sort will do; a few of these boys who will grab a slab of bacon, a sack of flour, and a few beans, slam it aboard a little old tin lizzie, and mush up here (probably an insult to Henry) will quickly open up this Territory as they did the Western States.
 Tt seems so absurd to hear them howl that there is not sufficient gold in the world to do business on, when we have here an empire that is fairly impregnated with gold which can be easily made available if only the government would in
 vest a few dollars in building a road. I call it an investment, be- cause I candidly believe that ii would pay thousand fold inside of 10 years"
