Governor and Former Foe in
Long Confab; Candidate
To Visit With Sons

ALBANY, Oct. 90 (I.N:S.).
Smiling and happy because his
old-time friendship with for
mer Gov. AL Smith had been
completely re-established and
all the bitterness Of the Demo
cratic national convention for
gotten, Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
welt left today on his whirl-
wind invasion of New Eng
land.
In one of the most dramatic in
cidents of the presidential cam
paign, Roosevelt and Smith sat
side by side in the executive man.
sion last night for nearly an hour,
chatting together in complete
harmony and renewing the friend
ship which was shattered nearly a
year ago.
BOIsterS Roosevelt HOpeG
When the harmony conference
had been concluded, Al Smith was
again the Happy Warrior" and
Governor Roosevelt was more
confident than ever that the Demo
cratic national ticket would be
swept into the White House on
November 8 by the greatest land
slide in history.
It was their first conference
since early last winter, before
Smith announced that he was q
candidate for the presidential
nomination. Both their actions
and their words, as they sat be-
side each other on sofa, made it
evident that the harmony con-
ference" was ION the level'' and
that they were once again the pals
of old.
Roosevelt and Smith shook
hands at the recent Democratic
State Convention in Albany, but
their meeting last night was far
more impressive and left no doubt
that their differences had been
ironed out.
Voice of Hoover Heard
After they had been closeted to-
gether for nearly an hour, news
paper men we're uShered into the
room. Smith had his right hand
on RooSevelts shoulder and was
smoking his characteristic black
cigar. RooSevelt'S face was
wreathed in smiles as he placed
cigarette in an ivory holder.
For just a moment there was
dead silence. Then the voice of
President Hoover, speaking at In
dianapolis, reverberated through
the mansion as some one in the
next room snapped on the radio.
'Is everything harmonious

discontinued in the District under
q decision handed down today
in the jury branch of Police Court

Judge Hit suspended a SEN

indecent literature.
The action, taken at the re-
quest of Assistant District At
terney Michael F. Keogh, follow
ed many appeals to Judge HIT
from Ottenstein's friends. Judge
Hit said in part:
T am convinced that the
jury was amply justified in re-
turning a verdict of guilty
against you in this case and in
cOndemning the publication
known as 'Brevities.'
"This court is advised that
Won control this publication
and upon your statement, made
to me in open court, that you
are in a position to definitely
assure the court that this pub

through its prosecutor, Mr..
Keogh, has achieved its pur-

In suspending sentence on OF
tenstein, Judge Hit stipulated
that should the defendant at any
time resume publication or distri
button of Brevities. the sentence
would be ordered into effect.

HOOVER, GRAFTON, w. Va,
Oct. 90 (LN.S.). - President
Hoover travelled through the
industrialized cities and towns
of West Virginia today as
suring large crowds that 1--WE

the depression, provided there
is no change in leadership or
in strategy in Washington.
He told throng of several

ing mood, the mood that last
night at Indianapolis prompted
him to assial Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt and demand of him an
apology for his alleged "defama-
ton" of Hoover because Of his
tariff policy.
Mr.. Hoover charged that Gov
ernor Roosevelt has shifted his
position on the tariff and de-
manded IAN apology from his
opponent and the Democratic
party for the defamation to
which I have been subjected for
the past two years because I
called a special session of Con-
gress and secured an increase in
agricultural tariffs"
This was with reference to
Governor Roosevelt's statement in
his Baltimore speech that, if
elected, he did not propose to
lower the tariff on agricultural
products.
A Startling Shift
Describing this as "the most
startling shift" ever made by a
presidential candidate in the
midst of a campaign, Mr.. Hoover
then added:
II myself am taking heart
over this debate. If it could be
continued long enough, I can
drive him from every solitary
position he has taken in this
campaign. They are all equally
untenable. Perhaps / could get
him to declare himself upon
other evaSiOnS and generalities.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba. August 81
Although its endowment funds are vir-
tually wiped out, st. Johns College, q
Church of England institution, will
carry on this Fall while specially
appointed committee seeks to straighten
out its financial condition.
Investigation of the accounts was
started last week following the arrest
of John A. Machray, custodian Of the
endowment trusts, on charge of theft
of funds from the University of Mani
toba. As chancellor of the Anglican
Diocese Of Rupertis Land, Machray ad-
ministered the schools finances.
University funds have been depleted
by nearly $500, 900, 1t was revealed,
and total losses to the Anglican Church
reach 81 ,oo0, 600. In charge of funds
of both institutions for many years
Macilray has been seriously Ill for some
time. He was in bed last Thursday
when police placed him under arrest.
He Is to appear In Provincial Police
Court Thursday to answer charge that
he stole more than s47,500 from endow-
ment trust funds of the University OF
Manitoba. 1t is considered doubtful that
the 67-year-old bursar and chairman OF
the board of governors will be able to
leave his sick bed. The case is likely to
be remanded another week.

New Angle Revealed
In Kaiser Death Plot

LONDON, Dec. 20 G.N.s).
Sensational reports that Heinrich
Fuecker, recently arrested in a
suspected plot against the life of
former Kaiser Wilhelm, is of royal
blood are current in Holland. the
London Daily Mail said today.
The paper added that the Off
cial version of the plot against
Wilhelm's life was considered a
fabrication and that the assault
really was attempted against the
former ruler as the result of a
quarrel over possible restoration
of monarchy in Germany.
At the time of Fuckers arrest,
officials stated he carried a dag
ger and revolver and was prob
ably insane.
