SMITH STATEMENT
EAGERLY AWAITED
Leaders Appraise Situation
if TomorroW's Statement
Puts Him in Race.
Continued From First Page.)

Continued From First Page3
Roosevelt took the position that the
New York Governors position had
been known all along to the Demo-
Gratis in their section Of the country,
as we'll as in the West and m the
North, and that he would not lose the
support which has been pledged him
by many of the leaders Of the party
because OF it.
Senator McKellar of Tennessee.
Roosevelt-for- President man, epito-
mized the view of these Southern DEM
ocrats when he said yesterday:
Gov. Roosevelt is not a crank on
any subject. He has more than one
idea.
Helped in Wet States.
Personally 1 would prefer him to
be a dry. But prohibition is not the
only question before the American
people today. After all President of
the United States takes only a rela-
lively minor part in deciding the
liquor question. That question has to
be solved by the Congress of the
United States, and the fight ought to
be made in the congressional and sem
atorial elections"
At the same time, it was believed
here that Gov. ROoSevelts statement
on prohibition would perhaps aid him
in States like Massachusetts, Rhode
Island New Jersey, Illinois and Wis
consin, where the wet sentiment runs
high.

STATEMENT GIVEN OUT.
But It's Not for Publication Until
Monday, Ex-Governor Warns.

MOI Untt
Monday, Ex- Governor Warns.
NEW YORK (Pl.-Former Gov. Al
fred e. Smith today gave out l44-
word statement settling the question of
whether he will be q candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
Here you are, boys" he said, but re-
member, it's not to be published until
Monday morning
There was a hush while as news
paper men, representing press associa-
tions and papers in all parts of the
country, read the statement.
The 1928 standard bearer lit cigar,
leaned back in the big chair he used
when New York Assemblyman, and
locked at the ceiling.
Can we ask you question or two?'
some one said.
We'll. I expected that, all right"
Smith said with chuckle.
In short. staccato sentences the
ruddy-cheeked. 58-year-old leader OF
Democracy. who has been in politics
since his youth. cleared up several
points of doubt in the statement.
Silent on Issue.
As the as copies of the pronounce
ment were being pocketed, Smith was
asked what he thought would be the
dominant issue of the coming cam
paign.
I dent know" he said. and looked
at the ceiling again.
A barrage of other questions were
shot at him in rapid order.
will you make an attempt to secure
a wet plank in the platform?"
It's too far away to talk about that,
was the reply,
Have you any comment on Gov,
Roosevelts statement on his prohloi-
ton Stand?'
Roosevelts gubernatOrial predecessor
shook his head He also declined to
discuss various Democratic statements
about whether the League of Nations
should be an issue
DO you think the prospects of
Democratic victory are better now than
they we're four years ago?' he was
asked.
Answer it Yourself" he said with a
laugh. but when pressed for a direct
reply hn said:
They're decidedly brighter"
Nothing to Say of G. o. P.
Have you any comment on the Re-
publican administration of the last four
years?'
Not at this time" replied Smith en-
phasiZing the last two words
Then the former Governor, in the
high -buttonod shoes he always wears,
escorted the As newspaper men to the
door of his Office on the thirty-second
floor of a Fifth avenue skyScraper and
- #
friends waiting to see him.
Before the statement was given out,
New York newspapers unanimously had
predicted that Smith would not bind
himself to let his name so before the
convention as a presidential aspirant.
but would leave the way clear for his
friends to work for him in various
States which name convention dele
gates at approaching primaries.

self. He also did delicateSsen business.
A neighbor said that II o'clock was

Second honors are obtained by ans other large group of 74 students whose marks average between go DOT cent in their secondary sub. jects. To acquire honor grades in all subjects throughout the course means that every student listed here today has taken his school work seriously from the opening day. At the same time many of them have found time to devote to other school activities which arc also important In developing es- senfiai qualities. We feel that the habits of study and individual TO. sponsibility acquired In the local school system will enable them to obtain further honors while eon- tInuing their education In the high. or seats of learning.
 At this date many of the pupils have already made application Tor admission to the college of their choice.

NEW YORK, March 31.-Charles
Van Bergen is the lad who ate the
piece of pie heard round the world.
Master Van Bergen-he is IA years
old-ate the pie Monday for the ad-
vancement of radio science and the
edification of millions of persons who
otherwise might have lived and died
without ever having heard the cacoph-
ony of crust crunching

First Microphone Experience.
Master Van Bergen never had eaten
pie into a microphone before, yet eX-
perts remarked enthusiastically of his
technique.
At the signal from the program d.
rector, Van Bergen bit into the pie
briskly and unf1inchingly First he
chewed legato. Gradually, as he realized
what this thing meant to his public. he
quickened the tempo until his Jaws
were working at an estimated metro
nome speed of "a or, as the phonograph
people would say, about 78 revolutions"
per minute.
Electrodes were attached to his face,
picking up the rythym of "a boy eating
a piece of pie" as the number was
called. From the electrodes the noise
went out over the network. Thus it
reached the sailor on the bounding
main, the lonely trapper in the Norin-
lands and the customers gathered in
the hot-dog hut on U. S. 112, just out
of South Bend, Ind.

Only a person who has sailed the

freely predicted that Master Van Bcr-
gen may look forward to a rosy pie
eating future.
