 Standing Thus Far
 Philadelphia, April 27-(UP)- Gov Franklin D. Roosevelt was ex- tending his lead over Alfred E. Smith in the democratic president ial preferential contest early this afternoon as returns from rural counties began to swell the New York governors total.
 The vote:

Davis claimed the victory early to-day. but in midafternoon But Ter refused to concede defeat. All America watched the Roose- velt-Smith struggle, seeking to de- tcct whether the presidential boom of the New York governor was to suffer a setback. Should Smith
 win, political experts agree, the momentum of Roosevelt's candi- dacy would be seriously retarded and Smith would be in a splendid
 strategic position at the Chicago convention in June. The Pennsyl-
 vania preferential vote does not bind delegates to support either Smith or Roosevelt. but the will of the electorate usually is powerful

ROOSEVELT AND
 BAKER LEAD IN COLLEGE CHEERS
Washington and Lee Uni- versity Is Having Its
 "MOck" National Con- vention To-day With
 Many Candidates

Lexington, Va, April 27. (UP)- Delegates to the sixth democratic lmock) national convention began balloting to-day on the names of democratic president candidates, with Governor Franklin D. Roose- welt, of New York, and Newton D. Baker of Ohio, receiving storm of popular approval from the con- vention floor.
 The names of the candidates were presented to the convention. held by students of Washington and Lee university, yesterday.
 Delegate Roberts of New York proposed Governor Roosevelt's name, and 16 state delegations participated in an uproarious de- monstration led bySa small auto mobile around Doremus gymna- sium.
 Presentation of Bakers name by delegate Curtis of Ohio brought a response almost equal to that for Roosevelt. He was presented as a man "who uses the weapons of in- telfect and. .!courage; a spotless character"
 Delegate Cremin of Oklahoma presented the name of his states governor, William H. (Alfalfa BilD Murray, as man "who says what he thinks"
 When the name of Governor AL bert c. Ritchie of Maryland was offered eight delegations paraded. Presentation of the name of AL fred E. Smith, New York, brought a small but noisy demonstration. Massachusetts seconded this nomi- nation.
 Other candidates presented to the convention were: Speaker of the House John N. Garner, Senator J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, owen D. Young, Senator Huey P. Long { of Louisiana, and Harry Flood Byrd, former governor of Virginia.
 The convention opened with the delegates making merry with noise making instruments of all varieties. Keynoter Tyre Taylor, president of the Young Democratic Clubs of America, had difficulty in obtaining quiet so he could pre- sent his speech attacking the re- publican administration.

enough to make the vote manda- tory.
 Through the night and the early hours of to-day the tide of battle swung first to Roosevelt, then to Smith. Roosevelt was drawing a heavy vote in the rural sections, but every time he took the lead Smith would overhaul him with bcllots from Philadelphia and Lackawanna county.
 Both factions were confident of victory as the compiling of the vote was resumed to-day with more than 2,S00 of the states S,331 election districts already computed.
 Davis, who recently came out against prohibition immediately took a lead over Butler, the fam ous marine who says T am dry now and will be dry forever" So far as he has maintained his ? to 1 lead. but Buffers packers con tend the early results do not re- fleet their candidates strength in the rural sections.
 Both Make Claims
 Harrisburg, Pa, April 27 -- GU. PD-Warren Van Dyke, president of the Pennsylvania Roosevelt for President League" to-day declared the New York governor would win the presidential preference primary in this state by "20,000 votes"
 At the time Van Dyke made his prediction the United Press tabu- lation showed Roosevelt leading by 5000 votes. He predicted large gains" from rural areas.
 Van Dyke also claimed Roosevelt would get ."50 delegates outside of Philadelphia" The state is allot- ted 76, with IA of them in Philadel- phia County.
 Meantime from the state demo- cratic headquarters, opposed to the Roosevelt movement, came a pre- diction that Alfred E. Smith, whose name appeared with Roosevelt's on the democratic ballot would win 25 delegates at least"
 She Gives Up
 Philadelphia, April 27-U. P.) Mrs Clifford Pinchot, wife of the governor decided at noon to-day that people aren't as anxious to send me to congress as I am to go," and conceded the nomination of Representative Louis T. McFadden, her rival for the republican nomin- ation to congress in the 18th dis trict.
 At that time McFadden had re- ceived 17,41S votes to the 1852 cast for Mrs Pinchot.

 Courtroom, Honolulu. T. H., April 27.-UP)-Four Americans, charged with Honolulu's honor staying placed their final battle for freedom today on the weary shoul- ders of Clarence Darrow.
 In possibly his last appearance before jury, the fiery 75 year old chief defense counsel was to- pre- sent the closing plea for the accus- ed before a mixed island jury.
 With doctor beside him to guard his failing strength, Darrow planned an address of two or three hours" summing up the case for Lieutenant Thomas H. Massie, his society matron mother-in-law, Mrs Grace Bell Fortescue, and two navy enlisted men, Albert Jones and Edward Lord.
 His argument precedes the terri tory's closing plea by Prosecutor John c. Kelley and Judge Davis instructions. The jury was expect ed to receive the case for delibera- tion late, today.

 This makes three cities so ia,

headed by Attorney Paul Connery.
 This makes three cities so far that have joined the Smith col umn," declared Chairman Crary to-day. There have been only three tests so far and the Smith organization has registered 100 per cent. Waterbury will hold it's primaries tomorrow night and the delegates elected to the city con- vention will be favorable to cleo tion of delegates to the state con- vention backing the Smith cause"
 Tonight another Smith, Roose- welt test will take place. This one will be in Bridgeport when party primaries are held. The predictions to-day were that the delegation in the Park City elected tonight will be favorabl to Smith but op- posed to ex-Mayor David E. Fitz- Gerald of New Haven for Archi.. bald McNeil's place on the nation q; committee.
 1t Is also understood that the Smith forces in Norwalk are also opposed to FitZGerald for McNeiPs s post. However, this will not be the case in Waterbury, 1t is under stood. The Waterbury delegates will favor Smith for the presiden- tial nomination and FitzGerald for the national committee in the place of McNeil.
 It Is now apparent that the Smith forces may run the state convention. However, there is also apparent a movement to split up the delegates on the question of na- tional committeeman. It appeared today that the real fight in the state convention will not be on the question of presidential nomina- tions but on the FitzGerald- McNeil contest.
 McNeil, of course, is a Roosevelt supporter in this state. On the other hand, most Smith men are for FitzGerald for national com mitteeman. However, it is believed now that while there will be a very solid and governing faction behind Smith in the state convention there will be wide split on the question of national committeeman. It is still strongly rumored that Cover nor Wilbur L. Cross will step into the fight. if necessary, and approve of the reelection of McNeil to the national committee.
 The state central committee makeup for the next two years also promises to be the center of several district battles at the con- vention. John J. O'Connell, cor poration counsel of Derby, is op- posing former U. S. Marshal will Eam R. Palmer of Oxford for the place on the committee from their district.

The successful Smith fight was waged under the leadership of U. s. Senators David I. Walsh and Marcus A. Coolidge, and Governor Joseph B. Ely, while in the Roose- welt campaign Mayor Curley was aided by 24-year-old James Roose- welt, son of the New York gover- nor.
 Commenting on the outcome Curley said:
 Disappointment at the result of the primary is tempered by the knowledge that the principles for which the friends of Franklin D Roosevelt fought must ultimately be vindicated if America is to en- dure.
 The vote was light in most sec tions of the state. In the little western Massachusetts town of Prescott, not vote was cast.
 Featuring the republican pri- mary was the victory of former Secretary of Commerce William F. Whiting in the first district dele gate contest. Though insisting he was not opposed to Hoover, Whit ing had refused to pledge himself to the president, declared he want ed to be free of obligations to vote for any particular candidate in the republican national convention All 34 of Massachusetts votes in the convention except that of Whit ing are pledged to Hoover.
 In the ninth district, Mayor Sinclair Weeks of Newton and State Representative Albert F. Bigelow of Brookline, running as vets, defeated Professor Thomas N. Carver of Harvard University and State Representative Clarence s. Luitwieler of Newton, drys, in the republican delegate contest.
 The outcome of the democratic primary Is the most serious set back the Roosevelt candidacy has encountered to date. Cheered by his successes in New Hampshire and Maine, Roosevelt's followers had hoped to capture at least a majority of the Bay State conven- ton votes.
 On the basis of virtually com plete returns in the delegates-at- large contest, the Smith-pledged candidates boiled an average of 141,169 votes. as against an aver age of 4S.198 votes for the Roose- velt-pledged candidates. Thus, the Smith forces won by a mar gin of almost to l.
 Smith Grateful
 New York, April 27 = (UP) - Alfred E. Smith today said he was "very grateful" to his friends in Massachusetts who had given sup port as a candidate for the demo- cratic presidential nomination.
 "The figures make me feel very happy and full of gratitude, !" Smith said. 'to all my friends in faithful Massachusetts. Tomorrow I will endeavor to more adequate ly express my appreciation"

 Circumstances surrounding his death were not disclosed by his brother, Police Chief Anthony Kel- ley. pending further investigation.

 It may be recalled that there were certain questions to be voted upon at the city election last fall. However out of the thousands of votes cast only scant few voters took advantage of the opportunity to express themselves. The Crusad- CTS hope to have every vote enter ing the polling booths in Water bury apprised of the fact that there is also a special referendum being conducted and possessed of the knowledge of how to go about vot- ing upon it.
 It was the concensus of those Crusaders present at last nights meeting that beer parade for Wa terbury on May IA would be un- necessary. Sentiment in this city seems to be definitely in favor of some revision of the present liquor laws, so that a demonstration to secure some such expression of opinion is not warranted at this time. However the executive board expressed itself as willing to CO., operate with, any wet organization that desires to stage a demonstra- tion in Waterbury.
 It was also voted to participate with the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment and the National Women's Organization for Prohibition Reform in the Electri- cal Show and Better Homes Exhibit at the state armory next week. The three organizations will have a booth at which will be distributed literature of interest to those eager to secure a change in our present form of liquor control. Member ships will also be solicited and spe- cial markers for automobiles with appropriate slogans.

THREAT OF WAR IS BOOMING THE
 SIBERIAN ZONE

Moscow, April 27 - UP)- Events in the far east, with their threat of war, have given a power- full stimulus to the industrial de- velopment of eastern Siberia. The dark clouds lowering over that re- zion since Japan took control of Manchuria thus have their silver lining.
 The danger of conflict and the necessity for huge concentrations of military forces and supplies in the Soviet far east have empha- sized for Soviet leaders the eco homie weakness of that outpost of their vast empire.
 Already more effort and money is being invested in that part of the country than had been fore seen in the original plans In the second five year plan, now being formulated, the Soviet far east will unquestionably play a larger role than it would have done had there been no Japanese seizure of Manchurian territory.
 The press does not conceal the direct relation between intensified tion of industrial work in that re- zion and the war danger.
 At present practically every thing needed for the maintenance of a large army in the Soviet far east must be brought from large distances. This was the crucial weakness of the Russians in their war with Japan in 1905. The im- mediate dangers have stirred the Kremlin into a. keen appropriation of this state of affairs which is reflected in industrial planning for the region.
 A strongly industrialized far east is regarded as the best possi bio defense against Japan. Not only win 1t provide a dependable base of supplies in the event of war operations but. 1t will provide a proletarian population which can be depended upon to fight to the bitter end for the defense of the Scviets.
 It is not an accident, moreover, that thousands of former soldiers are being settled on the land, in collective farms in the regions bor- dering on Manchuria. The govern ment is especially generous in pro- viding land, draught animals and tools gratis or on easy terms to former red army men willing to settle in tile far east. It is thus erecting a powerful human barrier against possible invasions.
 Harbin, Manchuria, April 27- (UP)-Police of the Manchukuo administration charged in state- ment to-day that the Soviet gov- ernment fomented dynamiting of railways and other outrages in Manchuria through Soviet em- ployes of the Chinese eastern rail- way.

blow to public confidence as to make the consequence almost iil- calculable." He declared, referring to the series of bank failures of late 1881 and early 1892, and the effect on public confidence.
 We have been gradually over- coming that fear the last few weeks the foundations have been solidified. Banks have stopped failing and currency is coming out of hoards. The day must come when credit will expand, prices will rise and business and employment will turn upward.
 "To select this particular moment to destroy our hopes of balanced budget and to deal a smashing blow to natoinal confidence, is to me simply incomprehensible.
 "The proponents of this meas ure fully recognize that the cost cannot be borne by legitimate means. They seek, therefore, to avoid the consequence of their ac- ton by restoring to device which far from adverting the dangers which I have described, multiplies them many times.

times just as the people must do and, by economy and careful con trol of expenditures, seek to live as nearly as possible within its in- comes.
 "Short term loans, rather thap increased tax rates or new sources of revenue, should be the means of tiding over whatever temporary deficits prove to be unavoidable. The best service the government can render the business commun- ity in time of depression is first, to perform well and efficiently it's own peculiar functions; second - to keep within the narrowest pos sible limits it's tax exactions upon a public with impaired ability to pay; and, third. to maintain un- impaired it's own financial stability and credit, as rock to which the business world may look and take heart. By such means, govern ment may truly do it's part to min imize the blighting consequences of depression and hasten the start of the upward road to economic prosperity.
 "It should be remembered that reduction in the cost of govern ment does not all have to come out of. curtailed public functions" Cross said, "We all know that gov ernment need not cost so much. In New England and elsewhere, there exists a network of counties, cities towns, boroughs, school districts road districts, lighting districts, assessment districts, which is pro- ductive of confusion, dissipated re- sponsibility, inefficiency, waste and extravaganza. By simplifying the mechanism, we could have all our present government services ana still reduce the tax burden, had we the courage and the will to at- tack effectively the problems ol political organization, budget max ing, and control of public spending without reference to the imaginary interests of any political party.
