NEWSPAPERS HAS
AIDED BUSINESS

NEW YORK, June 81. WP) -
Newspaper advertising is helping
many companies weather the busi-
ness depression and boosting the
business of some to new high rec
ordS, according to a survey made
public by American Newspaper
Publishers association today.
Twenty-Five companies that
maintained or increased newspaper
advertising in 1881 showed a drop
of only 7 per cent in net income,
as compared with the preceding
year, while an equal number of con-
Germs that cut down on their news
paper advertising suffered 73 per
cent decrease in net earnings, it
was reported.
Through their ability to concen-
trate on profitable markets and en-
able companies to realize immediate
sales, newspapers of the country
"haVe not only retained, but in
creased their prestige as the leading
national advertising medium" the
report said.
"One automobile concern, in
creasing its newspaper budget 33
per cent, boosted its net earnings
40 per cent in 1884," it was re-
ported. Another mapufacturer, in
the highly competitive electric re-
frigerator market, spent 100000
last year in newspaper space, and
dollar sales for the year were 46O
per cent of sales in 1890"
Citing the instance of four to-
bacco manufacturers who increased
newspaper advertising in 1881, the
report said three showed an in
crease in earnings and one slight
decline, while four companies i'll

TRIAL OF CURTIS
GETS UNDER WAY
In new JERSEY
Lindbergh Among Wit
nesses Summoned In
Notorious Hoax Case.

FLEMINGTON, N. j., June 27.
W.R)-John Hughes Curtis, Norfolk
boat builder, charged with perpe-
trating a hoax on Colonel Charles
A. Lindbergh in the Lindbergh. kid
naping case went on trial today,
charged with obstructing justice.
Colonel Lindbergh, one of the
first to arrive, waited to testify.
He was subpoenaed as both a state
and defense witness.
Lindbergh, in a light grey suit
and showing much interest in pro-
ceedings sat at the prosecuting
counsel table, not 10 feet away
from Curtis, who, grey and digni-
fled and perfect picture of con-
fidence, had taken a seat at the de-
fense table. At Curtis side was his
11-year-old daughter, Constance.
Near him we're his two brothers,
George and Sandusky Curtis.
Lloyd Fisher, defense counsel,
Immediately moved for the exclus-
ion of Harry L. Stout, Flemington
lawyer, from the trial. Stout had
been engaged as special prose-
cutor after he had conferred with
Curtis who contemplated retaining
him for the defense. Judge Adam
o. Robbins took the opposing coun-
sci to his chamber to hear argu-
mentS.
A section of the courtroom was
filled with talesmen summoned for
jury duty. Most of today's session
probably will be required to select
a jury from among them. Lind
bergh offered, the privilege of
not appearing in court until it was
time for his testimony, elected to
accept the treatment accorded all
witnesses-constant availability to
the court.
Within the enclosure behind Col
onel Lindbergh were Betty Cow, the
slain baby's nurse and Ollie What
ely, the Lindbergh butler.
Judge Robbins finally ruled that
Stout could serve. despite his for
mer connection with the Virginia
boat builder, and then heard ar
guments on a defense motion to
quash the indictment.
Judge Robbins denied the motion.
A formal plea of not guilty then
was entered for Curtis.

Roosevelt Sends Message
To Halt Effort For Ma
jOrity Nomination.
HARMONY DESIRED
Smith Given Ovation On
Taking Place With New
York Delegates.

ALBANY, N. Y, June q. U.P)-
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt late today
directed his forces in Chicago to
cease their efforts to abrogate the
two thirds rule for nomination of
presidential candidate.
The governors decision was made
known IN a telegram he sent to
James A. Farley, his manager at
Chicago.
The governors decision came as
an effort to insure harmony at the
| national convention. Although
ceasing work for abrogation now
| the governor said he believed that
the rule should no longer be in ef-
feet because it is "undemocratic."
1T is" Roosevelt said in part in
his telegram to Farley mo time
for petty strife and momentary ad-
vantage. This becomes the more
apparent when an honest differ
ence of Judgment is exaggerated by
the opposition press into a grave
internal fight. 1t is to avoid such
an eventualist that I send you this
message"

DEMOCRATS MAY DECIDE ON
OUTRIGHT REPEAL PROGRAM

| in the Subcommittee. Comstock
has offered the plank adopted by
the Michigan state Democratic con-
vention briefly urging outright re-
peal. Massachusetts,, whose SO votes
are pledged to the presidential as
pirations of Alfred E. Smith, fol-
lows his lead for immediate mod
ification of the Volstead act in ad-
dition to repeal.
In opposition to these efforts to
commit the party to repeal is the
preponderant Roosevelt strength in
committee and on the convention
floor.
Senator Hull Dem) Tennessee,
a leader in the Roosevelt group, out
lined as the most likely plank
submission to state conventions OF
the question of repeal or retention
of the amendment. The Roosevelt
forces would not commit the party
either way. There would be a
pledge to protect states which de-
sired to remain dry. The party
would acknowledge general opposi-
ton to the return OF the saloon,
Senator Harrison (Dem) Miss~-
sippi. told the United Press he be-
lieved the outright repealists would
force a fight but that the moder-
ate position of the Roosevelt forces
would prevail.
The farm relief plank went over
after considerable argument when
the drafting committeeman could
not decide whether to accept the
unified program of the three major
farm organizations.
These organizations have agreed
on a combination equalization fee,
export debenture and crop allot-
ment system of coping with the
farm surplus. President Hoover re-
peatedly has denounced such meas
ures as unsound.
All action by the drafting COM
mittee is tentative SO far.

ocean liners that served as floating
hotels.
Pilgrims arriving from Northern
ireland for the final days of the

WARNING ISSUED
BY FIRE CHIEF ON
FIRECRACKERS

Fire Chief Tom Reams today is
sued his annual warning against
the fire menace in firecrackers and
urged all residents, both children
and adults, to be unusually care
full this year.
1T is unlawful for any person
to light firecrackers in the business
zone of El Centro," said the chief
Conviction carries a fine of $500
or 80 days in jail. The business
zone is bounded on the east by
First street, on the. south by
Brighton avenue, on the west by
Eighth street, on the north by Park
avenue. No one is permitted tc
light firecrackers in that section
of the town.
The menace of fire" said the
chief, "is SO great that everyone
is urged to cooperate with the fire
department in guarding against
fire. Fbemen are ready and pre-
pared to answer alarms and ex-
tinguish fires, but it is up to the
residents to prevent fires and to
report them if they start.
"One innocent looking little fire
cracker may start a fire which re-
suits in great loss OF property and
often loss of lives. In each fire
cracker turks a potential fire and
each firecracker must be handled
carefully"
The chief was especially anxious
that no firecrackers be exploded
near automobiles as exploding gaso-
line often carries the flames to sur
rounding property.

CONVENTION STADIUM, CHI
CAGO, ILL.,, June 27. Senator
Alben w. Barkley of Kentucky
sounded the keynote of the Dem
ocratic national campaign today
with a caustic attack upon the Re-
publican policies in the years of de-
preston.
He promised a definite solution
of the prohibition question through
submission of repeal proposal tC
state conventions.
To remedy economic evils, he
pledged the Democratic party to
work for:
Revision of the tariff in such a
way as to protect American indus
try and agriculture and yet remove
tariff barriers which foreign coun-
tries have erected against Ameri-
lean commerce.
A program of aid for the farmer
which would include an end to the
present operations of the federal
farm board.
A program of unemployment re-
lief which, if necessary, would in
clude adjustments to meet condi-
tions imposed by the machine
age" and changing economic con-
ditions.
Federal economy which would
wipe out all unnecessary bureaus,
commissions and activities.
A long program of changes in
the banking and financial laws.
The speech, it was understood
had been submitted to all leading
Democratic candidates and had re-
ceived their approval.
1T is manifest" Barkley said
discussing prohibition, that a re-
expression of the will of the Amer
lean people on this great question
is advisable and justified in the
most direct and effective manner
possible under the constitution
He termed the Republican pro-
hibition plank "a promiscuous ag-
glomeration of scrap-lumber.'
Any play to revise the 18th
amendment SO it would remain in
the constitution and yet be appli-
cable only to states which might
so elect, he termed destructive "of
the very nature of the constitution
itself"
I'm order he said, ito obtain
the present will of the American
people on this subject of universal
controversy, this convention should
in the platform here to be adopted
recommand the passage by con-
gress of a resolution repeating the
18th amendment and its submission
to the people of the states through
conventions whose delegates shall
be chosen upon this issue alone"
