favorable to him, and doctors said

WALKER SA|LS
ON EUROPA

CHERBOURG, Oct. 4 0N.SD.
Still hopeful that his prolonged
visit in Europe has not affected
mis- chances of staging a. "vindica-
tion campaign" for the mayoralty,
former Mayor James j. Walker,
of New York, sailed at S p. m. to-
day for home aboard the liner
Europa
The former mayor, still with
holding definite announcement of
his political plans, remained at
the Hotel Crillon in Paris until
half an hour before train time. He
had remained at this hotel since
arriving here from Gibraltor,
where he quit the Italian liner Rex.
When he finally left his rooms,
he had to rush madly to the sta
ton in order not to be late.
He appeared extremely tired
when he arrived there, to be met
by a huge crowd of newspaper
men and motion picture photog-
raphers.
Asked if he had conversed by

COTTON Squirt
A|DSMARKET

NEW Work. Oct 4 UNSD.
A squirt of more than 81 a bale
in cotton today induced sufficient
Short-covering to bring an i'm
proved stock market.
A number of leaders, such as
United States Steel, American
Telephone, Case ThreShing, and
Allied Chemical, showed gains
running to a point and more.
Aviation issues were extremely
active, but failed to make much
headway, despite aggressiVev
churning.
Railroad stocks showed a bet
ter tone. A rally in the Nickel
Plate IS, the issue which was de-
faulted on Saturday, and hope
that a receiVerShip for the road
would be averted, were the stimu-
lating influences.
Gains were largely fractional,
though Union Pacific rose a
point. Canadian Pacific was
strengthened by the gain in its
gross last week over the CORE
spending 1881 Weke, the second
consecutive gain.
Trading continued at the drag
ging pace of recent sessions, and
the speculative community dis
played tn same waiting attitude
it has for more than a week.

Last minute efforts were being

ported that Mayor Thacher had
been offered the post of comp

lieut. enant governorship. If
Thacher goes on the ticket as
comptroller, Morris s. Tremaine,
of Buffalo, present comptroller,
will be given the nomination for
lieutenant governor.

Some of the Thacher supporters
insisted they would be able to
block Lehman'S nomination, even
If they could not put their own
man across for first place on the
ticket.
Former Governor Smith, re-
gardleSS of what action is taken
by Curry and McCooey, is pre-
pared to go on the floor of the
convention and lead the fight for

train arrived here today in a
heavy rain and windstorm.
Mrs. Hoover appeared first on

Mrs. Hoover, standing on the
platform of the special car, no
ticed a young reporter whose
clothing was soaked. She cried:
''YOu with the red suit, you're
drenched to the skin. You'd
better 90 home and change
your clothes at once"
But the young man had an as
Signment and he stuck" to the
job despite the concern Of the
First Lady OF the Land.
Hoover Works on Speech
Meanwhile, the President, in
his shirtSleeves, worked on his
address. Later he appeared on
the platform, smiling, but ap-
parently weary. He refused to
make a statement, but asked
concerning his speech, he said:

DETECTIVE.
REPORT IS
CALLED
ALLIE"
Wife ResentS Tale Four Tried
For Hawaiian Attack on
Her Were Wrong Persons
PHILADELPHIA, o

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 4
NN.S.).-Bitterly indignant,
Mrs. Thalia F. Massie today
denounced as ga lie-and q
stupid lie," veiled suggestions
that the four Hawaiian natives
placed on trial for assault
upon her were not the actual
participants in the attack.
Her resentful retort came in
answer to rumors that operatives
of a New York detective agency
had prepared a report for Gov.
Lawrence M. Judd, governor OF
the territory, and John c. Kelly,
Honolulu prosecutor, exonerating
the natives who won freedom
when q jury disagreed.
Will Not Return
After the trial, the young
brides husband. Lieut.. Thomas
H. Massie, shot ana killed Joseph
Kahahawai, one Of the alleged
aSsailantS.
Her sanctuary in quiet, sub
urban Lansdowne disturbed by
the recurring reports. Mrs. Mas
sic not only accused Governor
Judd of opposition to q retrial Of
four of the natives, but said
fatty she would not return to
Honolulu to testify in the event
Of a retrial.
She said:
at would be unsafe for me
to do So"
Governor Judd, she asserted,
is opposed to a retrial because OF
political and business reasons.
She added:
"a pardon for the men, based
on the statements Of these de-
tectives, is probably his idea Of
the easiest way out.
COST $5,OOO,OO0
"The affair cost Hawaii TOO
much money and they want to
get rid Of it. Business men
lost $5,OOO, coo by withdrawal Of
the fleet and sIackening Of tour
list trade subsequent to the trial,
and they are all anxious to let
the thing Drop"
Two identifying witnesses were
never brought into the case, Mrs.
MasSie said. She concluded:
"The men who dragged me
into q car were seen and recOE-
n;zed by two sailors from the
submarine base who were using
q service truck without permis-
SION and did not come forward
with their evidence.
Their names, however, were
in the haISis Of the inVeStiga-
tors"
NEW YORK, Oct. 4 GN.SO.-
When informed Of Mrs. Thali&
MaSSie's charge that he is seeking
to delay or prevent re-trial Of the
four surviving HawaiianS accused
of attacking her, Gov. Lawrence
E. Judd, Of Hawaii, said:
"She may say what she likes.
I do not feel called upon to
defend myself. am not discus
sing the MaSsie case, and mo
accusations sgalnSt me W1lI
make me change my mind.
IL will not be drawn into q
controversy over the case by
Mrs. Massie or anybody else"

Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores.
apostolic delegate to Mexico, was
arrested at his residence here to-
day and held for deportation as

MINERS DISREGARD
NEW TREK WARNING
Plan Picketing in Illinois De-

BY the Associated Press.

GILLESPIE. Ill, August 27.-Strik-
ing Illinois miners today mapped plans
for second offensive against operat-
ing mines in Southern Illinois.
Disregarding warning of Franklin
County authorities that no invasion
would be tolerated, the Miners Central
Policy Committee here said bases would
be established soon near the war area
where about $4,000 strikers were re-
PEELED by gunfire and clubs Wednesday
night.
The committee refused to make pub
lie details of the contemplated invasion
but stated several thousand men would
advance into the territory in attempts
through peaceful picketing to dissuade
miners from working under the new
IS wage agreement. Strikers claimed
units from unions in Kentucky, Indiana
and Oklahoma would join the move
ment.
Several incidents served to arouse
feeling among both strikers and work
ing miners. Frank Moulin, Franklin
County mine examiner and supporter
of the new wage scale, was wounded in
the hand by shotgun slugs as he stooo
in the yard of his Zeigler home last
night. He said the shot was fired by
one of two men in passing auto
mobile.
In Christian County the grand jury
yesterday returned indictments against
80 persons on charges of rioting in con-
nection with a strikers march on Tay-
lorville a week previous Ray Tom
bozzi, striking Taylorville miner, re-
ported the front porch of his house was

BOOST FOR CALIFORNIA
I'm LAKES WATERWAY
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO. August 27.-The
proposed Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
| Waterway would open up the mid
continent markets to the Pacific Coast
shipping, Charles Patten Craig, execu-
tive secretary of the ST. Lawrence COM
mission told the Commonwealth Club
here yesterday.
Craig declared construction of the
seaway would extend the Atlantic
Ocean l.700 miles inland and prove of
inestimable value to the West Coast
ports as we'll as to the midcontinental
| areas now "marooned." He said:
The port of San Francisco now has
a direct connection by ocean carrier
with all ports on the South and East
Coasts of the United States and the
| Immediately tributary areas. But the
marvelously productive interior area of
the North American Continent cannot
, now be reached by sea carrier.
The st. Lawrence SeaWay would
change that. making available to Cali
fornia ports this enormous market of
| 30.000000 citizens.
California producers would gain di-
rectly by the increase in the purchasing
! power of these 100000 consumers
which would result from opening the
! land-locked midcontinent to the sea. "

MANCHESTER England August 27.
At noon today factory whistles
throughout Lancashire called 100000
cotton workers out on a strike which
threatens TO become the greatest indus
trial war Great Britain has expert
enced since the nationwide general
strike Of 1926.
How far the strike call will be obeyed
by the weavers. who are the first affect
ed. will not be known until Monday
morning. when the mills reopen their
doors. Only a small re5pon,e to the
call is expected in some districts be-
cause Of temporary working agreements
already operative. In other districts
the stoppage will be complete.

The tragic aspects of the grim Strug-

be the sufferers. is that the negotiations
for peace were wrecked, not on the
main issue of wages. but the rein

will be greatly augmented next week,
There was no sign that the govern

A hurried call for the meeting had

will not be involved for while.
Henry B. Betterton, the Labor min

likely to come from government inter-
vention at this stage.
The cotton industry in England has
been upset for months, with employers
seeking to reduce pay and introduce
more looms per weaver. The owners
