ON CUSTER TRIAL
STILL in DOUBT

ALBANY. N. Y. Sept. I. U.pl-
Doubt still remained today as to
the course Of Mayor James J.
Walkers custer hearing when It is
resumed here before Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt tomorrow.
RumorS that the mayor would
bolt the hearing because Supreme
Court Justice Ellis J. Staley held
be was not getting a fair trial were
denied by Walkers friends. They
said the mayor was recovering from
his nervous exhaustion in New York
City and planned to be here for
the hearing tomorrow.
William Randolph Hearst, pub
Usher, suggested Walker resign in
an editorial in one Of his papers
today
If Mayor Walker" Hearst said.
"has confidence in the rectitude OF
his case. and if he believes that
the Investigating committee is
purely partisan and prejudiced
body and if he thinks he has been
denied a fair trial, there is only
one thing for him TO do, and that I,
is to resign and submit his case
at the next election"
NEW YORK, Sept. l. (U.P)-The !
New York World Telegram said to-
day it had learned from a reliable
source that Mayor James J. Walker
had prepared his resignation.
Whether the resignation viii be
announced in New York or at the
resumption Of the mayors custer
hearing tomorrow before Gov.
D. Roosevelt, the news
paper said it had been unable to
learn.
Walker this afternoon was at
tending the funeral OF his brother.
George Walker, VINO died last !
week. Pale and trembling, he wept
at his brothers grave.

Be Held July 5-12

July 5-12 will be the dates for the
annual regulation Girl Scout camp at
Chan Owapi on wildwood lake, it was
announced Tuesday by Miss Harriet
Rust, local Girl Scout executive and
camp director. If registrations war;
rant, the camp will be continued for a
second week.
The camp this season will be oper-
ated as a pioneer camp, a type we'll
adapted to this locality in the opinion
of Girl Scout leaders. This idea is
being worked out in Girl Scout camps
throughout the United States this
year.
The plan provides for the girls to
camp in troops and to carry out their
activities in troops. Campers will cook
two of their three meals themselves
over their own troop campfires, with
supper at night served in the mess
hall and cooked by the camp cook.
The only activity in which all troops
will join will be swimming. The camp
program will emphasize woodcraft
and campcraft.
Besides Miss Rust, the camp staff
will include registered nurse, a camp
cook and a Red Cross life guard.

BINGHAM BATTLING
FOR RESUBM|SS|0N
OF DRY Law issue
Connecticut Man Introduces
Resolution For Repeal of
18th Amendment

Washington, May 24.-(P-In a
move to get an early vote on resub-
mission of the prohibition issue, Sem
ator Bingham Rep.. Conn., Tuesday
introduced a resolution for repeal of
the 18th amendment and will seek to
bring it up at the first opportunity.
This and other similar proposals
may offer the testing ground of en-
bryo prohibition planks for the ma
tional political platforms.
Senate eyes are turned just now on
the judiciary subcommittee, dominat-
ed by three prohibitionists, which is
considering resubmission measures.
Senator johnson Rep., CALI called
upon the senate to meet the issue of
resubmission at this session in a
statement Monday night asserting
1.-The prohibition law should be put up
to the states and the people them
selves given the opportunity to pass
upon it,"
Some move by Senator Borah Rep.,
Idaho), the prohibition champion and
a member of the judiciary subcommit-
tee about to report on the resubmis-
sion proposition, is being awaited.
1t was he who wrote the rigid dry
enforcement plank of the 1928 Repub-
lican convention and there is reason
to believe he has again been ap-
preached to help draft the prohibition
plank this year. He has declined 70,
reasons unstated
Borah has turned a cold shoulder to
tentative propositions advanced in
high administrative circles for a re-
ferendum on prohibition but there is
no certainty he is unwilling to have
a test on a referendum Offering pro-
lection against return of the saloon
should the eighteenth amendment be
repealed.
That is what leaders are waiting to
learn from the enigmatical Idahoan.
AS test follows test in congress on
some prominent Republi-
cans are endeavoring to draft moist
plank which would hold the party's
dry support, but they have been I'M
able to draw support from dry organ
ization leaders who have been consult
ed.
Representative Smell of New York,
the house leader who is in line for the
craftsmanship of the ma
tional convention. predicted the plat
form would contain a liberal plank on
The liquor question, but details are
still in the making.
