WASHINGTON, July %. U.R)-
Democratic campaign managers are
a bit worried by one Of these in
side stories" which blossom best In
campaign years and sometimes
break whole political careers.
The story has TO do with the
great betrayal" of Alfred E. Smith
at the Democratic convention by
his ancient party foe, William
Gibbs McAdoo.
According TO the most repeated
version, McAdoo, when he dramat-
ically assembled the platform and
threw Speaker John N. Garner's
California delegates to Gov. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, broke an IRON
clad agreement with Smith.
This agreement supposedly bound
both leaders to hold their votes
until after the fifth ballot and not
to move without consulting the
other. McAdoo switched early in
the fourth ballot, saying he wished
to prevent deadlock.
Sponsors of the story cite IN
support of it the frantic but futile
efforts made by Smith TO get in
touch with Garner by telephone
Just before that dramatic night
session in Chicago opened.
Efforts to have Smith scotch the
story have been fruitless so far.
The Democratic managers ale cir
culating their own version Of the
affair.
Their version admits an agree

, tations that night and next day
all his friends in Woodland eX-
claimed:
"Oh, what a grand idea! An ice
party! Now we'll be COOL"
So they all made ready to come
to the party to be given by the
rabbit in the frosty cave of Mr..
Whitewash the Polar Bear. Nurse
Jane and Mrs. Longears made
frosted cookies, frosted cakes,
frosted chocolate and frosted coffee
and Mr.. Whitewash pulled from
the far end of his cave many
blocks of ice for the guests to
sit on.
Welcome to my ice party!"
Uncle Wiggily said as he greeted
his animal friends. There were
many boy and girl animals among
them, too, for Uncle Wiggily loved
children.
Really it was grand party and
SO cool as never was in the ice
cave though outside it was blazing
hot in the sun. Everybody was
having a good time, keeping cool
and eating frosted cake when, all
of a sudden, Johnnie Bushytail, the
squirrel boy, went to Uncle Wig
gily and whispered
81 think you'd better look at
Baby Bunty!"
whats the matter with Baby
Bunty?" asked the rabbit uncle.
"She's sitting on a cake of ice
and can't get up" chartered John
ME. "I've tried to pull her loose
and so has my brother Billie. But
Baby Bunty is stuck on the ice
cakel"
"Oh, dear, That's too badv' said
Mr.. Longears. "I'll help her!"
Just as Johnnie had said, Bunty
was frozen fast to a cake of ice.
When Uncle Wiggily asked her how
it happened, Bunty said:
"Oh, got all hot playing cocoa
nut cake tag and then I sat down
on the ice and I melted it a little
but when cooled off the water
from the melted ice froze to my
clothes and can't get loose"
Uncle Wiggily tried to pull Bunty
loose but he couldn't. Then his
wife told him to pull the cake Of
ice. Baby Bunty and all out into the
sunshine where it was warm And
when this was done the ice melted
and the little orphan rabbit could
get up, which she did. Then the
party was more fun than ever until
it came to an end with the sery-
ing Of ice cream, with tomato juice
to make it look like strawberry
shortcake.
And if the window shade will
stop trying to fly up TO the ceiling
every time the button hook tries to
pull it down to tag it, I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily's snow
party.

Produce Dealers
Held For Trial

Charges of dealing in produce
without a license to do SO brought
three defendants into two justice
courts yesterday afternoon, two at
Calipatria and one at El Centro.
Judge I. Mayfield of Ell Centro
dismissed charges against Manuel
Lopez, holding that there was in
sufficient evidence to hold him to
answer.
Judge B. F. Gruble of Calipatria
issued orders that Harry Rutan be
held for the superior court under
$1,000 bond and that George f.
Rutan be bound over to the su-
perior court, but released on his
own recognizance.
Dealing in produce without a IL
cense, the charge against these
men, constitutes a high misde-
meanor.

Seek Discharge
Of Jail Inmate

Because Mrs. H. NJ. Bump has
not paid for the maintenance CT
Christ Poulos as a prisoner at the
Imperial county jail, the latter's
attorney yesterday afternoon filed
notice of an application for the
discharge of his client from jail,
where he was committed on Su-
perior court order because he re-
fused to turn over to the sheriff
a cashiers check for 5000 to satisfy
a Judgment in favor Of Mrs. Bump.
The motion will be presented be-
fore the court tomorrow. AT that
time attorneys will argue the con-
tention of the defense that Poulos
is illegally restrained from his
liberty.
According to the motion filed
yesterday afternoon, the law pro-
vides that, when judgement
debtor is committed to jail, the
judgment creditor shall pay to the
jailer sufficient money to support
the prisoner for one week, and shall
pay for the prisoners support every
subsequent week he is detained.
An affidavit by Undersheriff
Rodney Clarke, filed at the same
time as notice of the motion, was
to the effect that Mrs. Bump has
not paid anything for the support
of Poulos.

No Mercy
Chain Gang Fugitive
Must Take Medicine,
Says Governor.
BY FOSTER EATON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

A TLANTA, Ga, Dec. IT,
L N Robert Elliott Burns, much
publicized fugitive from a Geor
gia chain gang" faces the pros
pect of little, if any, executive
leniency in event he is returned
to this state, as confidently ex-
pected by officials here.
las far as am concerned
you may say he will have to take
his medicine like any other high
way robber," Governor and United
States Senator Elect Richard d.
Russell Jr. told the United Press.
Governor-Elect Eugene Tall
madge, at present agricultural
commissioner, firmly declined to
be drawn into a discussion of the
possible pardon of Burns, one of
three co-perpetrators of a petty
armed holdup here in 1921.
Russell said: 1T is unthinkable
that New Jersey authorities will
not promptly honor our reuuisi-
ton for the immediate extradition
of this man."
Burns, who twice escaped from
a Iroup county chain gang. was
arrested in New Jersey early on
Thursday morning. Dispatches
from Newark quoted him as ex-
pressing the belief that return to
mat gang would mean certain
death"

passage of the act, producers to be
paid an adjustment payment from

weight on all hogs weighing from
200 to 210 pounds or less, and in
consideration of an agreement that
each producers total tonnage mar
keted during the year shall be 20
per cent less than during 1882"
Representative Nelson dem.
Gao, a member of the agriculture
committee, was interested, and puz-
zled by the attempt to put a pre-
MUM on slim swine, and so, speak
ing to Fred Lee, attorney for the
farm groups, said:
Maybe I am feeding carload
of hogs" trying to interpret the ban
on 200-pound porkers, land the
market is poor. I want to carry
those hogs along for while, but
in doing SO and feeding them will
make those hogs weigh 225. Then
am to be penalized by carrying
them over this low price period?"
That is correct" Lee replied.

No Intention to Influence

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Speak-
er John N. Garner was reported
today to have given pledges to all
candidates for las post in the next
session that he did not intend to
try to influence or interfere in the
selection of his successor.
Previous reports were that he was
working openly for Representative

two other leading aspirants, Repre-
sentative Joseph T. Byrns CTenn)
and Majority Leader Henry T.
Rainey CID.
Gamers statement followed
closely on receipt OF word that
President Franklin D. Roosevelt's
advisers felt some embarrassment
at the Speakers reported activity in
the campaign. Roosevelt's attitude
Is that he wants to stay out of the
scrap for fear of sntagonizing some
faction.
The Speakers reported interest in

latter was the PreSident-elect's own

The prospe ct of Roose-
velt's Intervention became ap-
parent today when the repeal
subcommittee of the senate
judiciary committee agreed
to include in the measure it
will report to the senate a
provision prote citing dry
states.
This is in accordance with the So
called Hoover resubpission plan and
in contradiction of the Democratic
pledge for straight repeal.
Blaine Sponsors Plan
The Garner resolution which
failed to obtain the required two
thirds majority in the house merely
stated "the eighteenth article of
amendment hereby is repealed"
But the senate subcommittee,
headed by Senator John J. Blaine
(Rep, Wis.,, wet, agreed on the
following as the best language" for
inclusion in the bill it will report:
THE transportation or importa-
ton into any state, territory or pos
session of the United States for de-
livery or use therein, of Intoxicating
liquors, in violation of the laws
thereof, hereby is prohibited"
The language used is taken from
the proposed amendment sponsored
by Blaine and was perfected by
Senator William Borah, who is
dry. Senators Thomas Walsh
(Mont), and G. C. Dill CWash),
Democrats, agreed to the text.
Meet Again Next Week
The committee will meet again
next week if Walsh and Borah can
excuse themselves from other COM
mittee hearings, to perfect the COM
plete amendment
Senators have yet to decide the
method of ratification and whether
an attempt will be made to include
in the amendment a prohibition of
saloons.
Senators are inclined to refer the
amendment to state conventions, as
recommended in both party plat
forms, but senate sentiment is in
clined to have the legislatures, not
congress, call these conventions.
A prolonged debate will ensue if
drys, like Borah, attempt to prohibit
saloons" in the amendment, as this
would be writing a police regulation
into the Constitution.
