 Huey Long to Speak
 New Orleans, La, Sept 16-(UP) -Huey Long, fiery red-haired United States senator from Louisi- ana, donned snow white linen and a red necktie and announced that he was planning Q nationwide can1- paig to "rid America of its multi millionaires." 'The country has got to the point where prosperity can't come back until the purchase ing power is put back into the hands of the common people," the states political boss declared. "The consumer won't have any purchas- ing power as long as most of the wealth Is in the hands of the few"
 The open season on multimillion. aires was declared, Long said, An connection with his own plans for a speaking tour in behalf of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presiden- tial candidacy. He made his an- nouncement at a banquet last night. "I'm leaving state politics for good" he added.
 The senator claimed that he had personal word from Governor Roosevelt that he could incorpor. ate his own economic theories in his own speaking tour. That's tho only way I would go into it. If I thought this was going to be just another tweedledee twiddledum campaign, I'd stay out. The ups and downs of the stock market right now don't mean thing" the senator said. "The market will go down until Roosevelt is president" !" he added. Then, Long predicted, there will be 12-month session of congress to solve the countrys economic problems. "All the shop. worn theories of MT Hoover will be revamped and the business of the government will be placed on a sound basis"

Charles E.. Du Bois ] Shoots Himself
(Continued from Page 1)

"Du Bois, who had a downstairs room, went up to a bathroom late this forenoon. A little later. George Griffin, owner of the house, heard a noise upstairs as though some heavy object had dropped. He didn't go upstairs to investigate, but instead called police.
 Walter McKenna, one of the first two officers to arrive, opened the locked door with a skeleton key. They found Du Rois lying on the floor, bleeding profusely, a re-
 volver nearby. The single bullet fired had passed through his head and he was unconscious.
 "He was wearing a dark suit.

day joined the widening search fol the body of Mrs Edith Du Bois, 40 missing five weeks from her Great | Herring Pond summer home and | believed by investigators to have met death.
 While state troopers continued dragging Great Herring pond, a body of water about five miles long and one mile wide, the guardsmen were to conduct systematic search in the woodlands surround ing the Du Bois cottage.
 If we don't find the body here- abouts," said John V. Sullivan, ag- gressive young assistant district attorney, well comb every inch of the woods as far as Taunton, if necessary, until 1t Is found. We have plenty of evidence to indicate that the body is somewhere in this section."
 Sullivan sharply criticized Charles E. Du Bois, A, of Tuck ahoe, N. Y, prosperous and hand some husband of the missing swo- man, for his alleged failure to CO., operate with investigators.
 "Du Bois and his lawyer (At- IolhCy NAO<AhOh ACy 7 have had plenty of time and op- portunity to come to us and help us or explain the maze of conflict ing statements made by Du Bois, but neither has come forward so far" said Sullivan.
 Since Du Bois' release by a dis trict court judge for lack of evil Lence early this week, his where abouts has not been generally known. Sullivan indicated, how ever, that Du Bois was under sur- veillance, declaring that "We can find him when we want him." Though City Chemist George E. Boiling of Brockton has reported that strands of hair, found in the harbor here Tuesday within a stones throw of Plymouth Rock, were consistent with that of Mrs Du Bois, Sullivan said the search would not be extended to the har- bor immediately. I've want to ex- haust all possibilities at the pond first," Sullivan declared.
 New York authorities have been asked to question a Flushing, k. l., couple reported to have visited the Du Bois cottage here about August 10, when Mrs Du BolS was last seen alive.
 MT and Mrs Du Bois, after the visit, drove the couple to the rail- road station at Providence, R. l.. where the New Workers entrained for home, according to informa- ton obtained by Sullivan.
 "We have also found persons who saw Du Bois and his wife alone in the Du Bois automobile returning to the Du Bois camp from Providence that night (Au- gust 10)," Sullivan said. "The ma chine was being operated by Du Bois. It stopped for a short time at a spot between Taunton and and Plymouth. A person passing slowly in an automobile at the time saw Du Bois and his wife in the machine there. Sometime aft erward the Du Bois car pulled into

i bureau, Lieutenants William Pol lard and Matthew Balanda and Pa trolman William Foley took up the investigation this morning. Several youths are under suspicion and were expected to be quizzed during the day.
 An official report of the hunt, pistol duel and abandonment of the stolen car. were made by Patrol man Overton.
 The police car was proceeding through Hamilton Park when the officers attempted to stop 1t. Only short time previously word had been received at headquarters that two stores had been burglarized in the east end section of the city. The driver of the Buick, however. re- fused to stop, and taking short cut through the park, down an embankment reached Silver street. The police car was after it in no time.
 The first inkling the, two police- men received that their quarry were not law-observing citizens was in the form of a greeting from a revolver. The bullet missed the car, however. The shot was return ed and several others followed in quick succession. In the race to- ward Prospect the pursued car tried twice to "ditch" the police machine, but failed in this objec- tive, turned into a side road near the reservoir. The police car was directly behind 1t. Abandoning the machine before it came to stand still the two bandits dashed into the woods. Their car rolling down the embankment crashed into the police car, damaging the right fem der and tearing off a hub cap. As Patrolmen Garvey and Overton leaped out of their car two more shots were fired at them. The pur- suit was then extended into the woods.
 Sergeants Hugh Flaherty and George Gooding and Patrolmen Nicholas Menzelle, Charles Nolan, Michael Karpelman, Edward Hayes Frank Magro and Joseph Collins took part in the chase when the first report was made at police headquarters. They were later re- lieved by Lieutenant James Null vile and Patrolman Patrick Cluney Thomas Luddy, Walter Overton and Michael Carroll.

Prohibition was the keynote of Smiths address, the same as 1t was of his address here four years ago. He declared that the repub- lican prohibition plank was evasiye, whereas the democratic plank was specific in calling for repeal. After reading the democratic plank, Smith said:
 "I wrote that plank"
 The former governor paraded through an eight-mile lane of red fire and green lights in an old fash toned political rally here last night to revive the 1928 issues. E
 He charged, grinding. fighting. sarcastic as he proceeded, that Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assis- tant attorney general in 1928, ap- pealed for votes of politically minded Methodists and Ku Klux Klansmen by direction of the re- publican board of strategy.
 That Colonel William J. Dono- van, republican candidate of New York reported making inroads in- to the democratic Catholic vote there. sat with that board of strategy.
 That the republicans ''paid off, Mabel with $20,00O,0O0 farm board loan to the Fruit Industries. Inc, of California for whom she also convinced the department of justice that 12 per cent wine was not intoxicating.
 That the republican prohibition plank meant that no candidate was to be bound with any party plat form declaration on the subject if it conficted with his private views. And he saved any mention of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the man who defeated him for the presi- dential nomination at Chicago, for the very last, the climax of his ad- dress when he declared ''the best way to bring back prosperity is by the election of Roosevelt and Gar ner and the entire democratic ticket. It was CAT" the Happy War rior," in a fighting mood who ad- dressed a wildly cheering audience of 15,000 with 35.000 more listen- ing to amplifiers outside the 11Sth Infantry armory.
 The crowd cheered hysterically as Smith stood on the center of the platform, waving aloft his fa- nous brown derby. The hall was damned. twenty-seven persons had been injured in the crush. Will liam Spray. Jr.. 31. died of an heart attack as he joined in the ovation.
 The cheering finally ceased, the preliminary speeches were cut short by cries of we Want. AL" Boos for President Hoover follow cd.
 Finally Smith strode to the front of the rostrum. only to release a new burst of din. His nimble wit silenced the crowd with the com- ment:
 "Bear in mind the cheering all comes out of the "raddio" time, In the interests of economy"
 Then he launched into m attack on the republican party for It's nrosperlty slogans of 1928 tho "chieken in every pot" silk stock. ings, two automobiles for workers and abolition of poverty.
 "That was four years ago and we arc 70 years wiser" he said.
