Plans and specifications for
remodeling premises 301 c st.
N. W., to house the tuberculous
clinic of the District Health De-
partment are being prepared in
the office of the Municipal Ar
chitect. AS soon as they are

TRACED HERE

Washington and Maryland po-
lice today are seeking five men
riding in two automobiles bearing
District tags who early yesterday
kidnapped Harry Hewitt, who
lives near Thurmont, Md, and
relieved him of $400 and $50 gal
Ions of liquor.
Sheriff Charles w. 'Crum, of
Frederick county, also announced
the men are wanted in connec-
ton with a similar hijacking
episode in which Morris Baker, Of
the same community had lost
S115 and so gallons of whisky.
Meager descriptions of the men
furnished by Hewitt ami Baker
are said to correspond to those
of the hijackers who several days
ago attacked Federal officers who
were conveying a cargo of liquor
in southern Maryland.
Hewitt told Sheriff Crum he
was awakened at 5 a. m. by the
five men, who flashed revenue
badges" and said they wanted to
search his house. The men found
$50 gallons of liquor, loaded it
into his truck and forced him
to accompany them after taking
$400 from him. Five miles from
his home, Hewitt said, he was
forced to get out, while the
hijackers continued on their way.
Hewitt's truck was later found
abandoned several miles from
where he was forced to alight,
but the liquor had been removed.

Herbert Hoover ventures

This afternoon a special train

ing the President straight through
the hotly contested Central States
and into Iowa. storm center Of
the farm revolt.
Talks Tomorrow Night
There, tomorrow night at Des
Moines, he will deliver his first
campaign address since the
speech of acceptance. That it
will be a document of consider
able political weight is indicated
by the care Mr.. Hoover is dis
playing in it's preparation.
After devoting 10 days Of pre-
liminary work on the speech, the
President spent greater portion
of yesterday brushing it up, but
today the forms still remained
open for the final text. It was
quite likely the address will be
completed on the train, as a
stenographer and mimeograph
operator we're listed among the
official party.
The President and his board
of strategy have been guarding
its contents closely, but best
available information is that the
executive will discuss most Of the
major issues, bearing heaviest on
the farm problem and the sub
ject of excessive federal expendi-
lures for war veterans.

remained silent in the face of re-

himself on the bonus.

Proposing NoStrums

BUFFALO, n. Y, Oct. 3
(L.N.S. .).-Delivering the key
note address at the Repub-
lican State convention which
opened today, Representative
Hamilton Fish, jr., of New
York, temporary chairman,
vigorously assailed Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the
Democratic presidential nomi-
nee, for the "promises" he
has been making on his cam
paign tour.
He predicted that President
Hoover, whom ne characterized
as the greatest asset of our re-
public" will be reelected in No
vember.
Calls Roosevelt Ambiguous
Fish accused Governor RooSe-
velt of being ambiguous on i'm.
portant national questions, say.
ing he refused to inform the
public his position "on such
vital issues as the bonus, sales
tax, dole, and duty on sugar"
He insisted that Roosevelt has
no effective program for eco
nomic recovery. He declared:
'In his swing around the
country, Governor Roosevelt
has made numerous speeches,
used multitudinous platitudes
and glittering generalitieS, and
proposed nOstrums ad nauseam,
like a quack doctor, for every
conceivable i'll, but has failed
lamentably to present con-
Structive program for unemplOy.
ment and farm relief, national
economy and economic recOv-
cry, which are the paramount
issues of the campaign"
Cites Smiths Silence
He declared that Roosevelt
was catapulted into the gov
ernor's chair by that great
leader, Governor Alfred E.
Smith" But now, he added,
Roosevelt has drowned on his
courageous and constructive ere
ator" with the result that Smith
has become the original forgot
ten man" with Roosevelt. Fish
added:
Former Governor Smith is
still a Democrat and up to the
present moment a very still
one, although he may feel com.
PEELED for personal and pO-~
litical reasons to give a per-
functory endorsement of his
party candidate, which would
now amount to nothing more
than damning his old friend
Frank with faint praise
Fish characterized Roosevelt as
"the most reckless spender of any
governor in the history of our
State" He charged that Roose-
welt, in one of his campaign
speeches, urged Federal regulation
of the stock exchange, but he
himself had done nothing" to
regulate the exchange during "the
greatest orgy of gambling infla-
ton the country has ever known"
