Speech Not Yet Finished.
President Hoover announced on his
return from his mountain retreat to-
day that he has not yet put the fln-
ishing touches to his acceptance speech.
He had hoped to be finished with the
task during the week end vacation, but
he did not devote as much time to this
work as he had intended, principally
because of the heat and desire to rest.
When he arrived in Washington
about 9 am, Mr.. Hoover did not go to
the White House proper, as is his usual
custom for the purpose OF changing
clothes and resting up for his days
labors, but had his automobile drive
up to the Executive office. Attired in
white f1annels, brown sport coat and
panama hat pulled far down on the
front, the President hurried from the
doorway of his private office to tackle
the work before him.
DR.. James r. Garfield of Ohio, who
was chairman of the Resplutlons Com
mittee at the convention and who led

ultimately resulted in adoption OF the

washington with the President and
conferred with him for while in the

and DR.. Garfield were carrying port
folios as they entered the White House.
The impression is that the President
had consulted DR.. Garfield regarding
that part of his speech which will deal
with the resubmission plank. Others in
the week end party at the camp were
E A. Van Valkenberg. former Philadel-
phia publisher, and Mrs. Van Valken-
berg, and Charles Hibbard, Spokane,

any predictions as to Just when advance

Lopez Was Dictator.
Paraguay's leader in the war was
Francisco Solano Lopez. who became
dictator of the country in 1852. He is
said to have had Napoleonic ambitions.
After disagreements with several
neighboring nations Lopez invaded
Brazil. He next declared war on Argen-
tina. Then Uruguay joined the fray,
and the allies invaded Paraguay.
Lopez was defeated in one battle, but
replaced his losses by drafting almost
the entire male population, and in
flicted severe defeat on the allies.
Meanwhile the women offered Lopez all
their gold. jewels, pots. pans, boilers and
articles of brass and iron for funds and
munitions. The women raised crops and
carried on civil duties.
Only 2S,764 Men Left.
Lopez was besieged through most of
1868 in Humaita, where 100000 people
died in battle or of hunger and disease
He was slain March l, 1870.
At the end Of the war Paraguay's
population consisted of 28,764 men,
106.254 women over Is years of age, and
86,879 children. 1t is estimated 100000
women died in the war, largely from
starvation and disease.
Polygamy was legalized for a time to
rebuild the population.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, August 8.-Near
death from loss of blood and exposure,
his body bruised and lacerated, John
B. Colegrove, 65-year-old president of
defunct Taylorville, Ill, bank, lay in
hospital here today and related how
he had been attacked in his home, kid
naped. bound and gagged, and then,
after being carried miles in an auto,
tossed into a weed patch where he was
left to die.
Colegrove, under penitentiary SEN
tenCe resulting from his banks failure,
remained in the weed patch from late
Friday night until early yesterday when
he managed to loosen the ropes with
which he was bound and made his way
into Springfield to the home of
friend.
Two Suspects Held.
Meanwhile Christian County officials,
where the kidnapping took place, were
questioning two suspects, one of them
a depositor in Colegroye's bank who
lost $4,000 when it closed. Colegrove
was too weak to attempt their identi-
fication.
States Attorney Harry Grundy of
Taylorville, who recently obtained a
one to three years sentence against
Colegrove for accepting deposits when
knowing the bank to be insolvent, OBJ
tained from the banker the details OF
his abduction.
He told the States attorney he was
attacked in his home, where he lived
alone, by two men as he was lighting
a lamp. He struggled with his assail-
ants, he said, but they overpowered him
and carried him out of the house and
put him in an auto
Neighbors Heard Screams.
The kidnapping was reported by neigh
borS who had heard the banker scream
ing and saw him put into the car.
Colegrove said his abductors put tape
across his mouth, tied him with ropes
and then drove for several hours.
Finally, he said, they tossed him out of
the car into the weed patch. There
he lay the remainder of the night, all
day Saturday and until shortly after
midnight Sunday.
The suspects being held at Taylor
vile were arrested near Springfield
Saturday morning. One of them, James
Gammaitoni, who lost his deposits in
Colegrove's bank, had previously threat
ened the banker, police said if his
money we're not returned. 1t was due
to this that suspicion was directed
at him.
