JACKSON, Miss, July Mississippi

dent, and. despite the Republican plan
to put out a congressional ticket, will
go Democratic to the candidate.
Not that the rank and file of voters
In the State are enthusiastic for Roose-

CLOSE RACE is OUTLOOK
IN COLORADO THIS FALL
Democrats Profess Confidence With
Prohibition and Economic Con-
ditions as Issues.
BY J. b. DAY.


DENVER, Colo, July 9-With the
smoke of convention battle about dis
PEELED, there seems to be a pretty well
defined feeling hereabouts that, SO far
as Colorado is concerned, the race be-
tween Gov Roosevelt and President
Hoover is going to develop into one OF
the closest contests Of its kind in the
history of the State.
The Democrats profess confidence
that Roosevelt and Garner will carry
the State and that a Democrat will go
to the Senate in place of Charles w.
Waterman, Republican, and that a
Democrat will go to Congress from the
Denver district to take over the seat
now held by william r. Eaton, Repub-
hcan.
They hold that general dissatisfaction
among the electorate respecting eco
nomic conditions will bring about the
undoing Of President Hoover.

Democratic line in November are riding
on the crest of wave of disappoint-
ment in the Hoover administration.
The ticket with Roosevelt on top,
backed up by Garner, sets mighty well
with the followers of tie party of Jack
son. So does its platform. The drys
are reluctant to swing over to the re-
peal idea yet, but with the thought Of
getting one of their party into the
White House, dopesters believe they
will go along with the vets for the sake
of a party victory. The Democrats hope
to pick up many radical wet votes from
the Republican ranks, and judging from
the street gossip will do so.

CHEST IS FACING
100000 DEFICIT
Elwood Street Lays Lack of
Funds to Heavy Unem-
pIoyment.

Because Of widespread unemploy-
ment the Community Chest faces a
deficit Of approximately 100000 for
the current year. Elwood Street. direc-
tor. revealed yesterday.
Meanwhile, he said, payments Of
pledges Of Government employees prior
to last Wednesday totaled s823,8 ,843.35,
or 8l.S per cent of the s1,OO6, sos OF
promised.
Pledges Of the various Federal de-
partments amounted to more than
sl,040,000, Mr.. Street explained, but
this figure included a number of con-
tributions made by officials The total
charged to Government workers, he
added, represents that promised by
keymen in the departments and COL
lected by them.
Payments Were Changed.
The original schedule called for pay
ment of all Federal pledges in three
installments, and the contributions
should have been collected by last
March /. According to Mr.. Street,
however. number of Government en-
ployeS decided to change to the Chest s
l0-payment plan. and this accounts for
the unpaid balance.
The only Federal workers who have
paid the full amounts promised, fig
ures released by Mr. Street disclosed,
are employees of the Battle Monuments
Commission, the Commission of Fine
Arts, the power commission, the PAN
American Union, the Board of Media
tion, the railroad administration and
the Soldiers Home Most of these
groups pledged comparatively small
amounts, however.
The expected deficit, Mr. Street
pointed out, is due to the fact that mot
single Chest organization allowed TO.
the tremendous increases of need at
tributed to unemployment alone"
The budgets for the year, he con-
tinued, were made up on~the basis of
last years needs, with an allowance OF
only about 40 per cent because of un-
employment. Instead of a 40 per cent
increase. he said, the various relief or
ganizationS have found themselves fac
ing 100 per cent increases.
To meet the needs for the remainder
of the year, the following sums. totaling
S278228.98, in addition to budgets al
ready appropriated, are asked by the
following agencies:

Veteran Seeks Missing g Dog

~ UDDY," sole companion of AL
- fred Simon, 4409 Eighth
street. a disabled veteran of
IL the World War, has been
missing since Monday, and
today Simon appealed to The Star to
help find him.
The animal, mixture of police dog
and airedale, has been the only COM
pany Simon has had during the day for
year and half and the veteran has
come to depend on his companionship
as he would on human friend. Unable
to work because CT injuries received
when gun exploded at Fort Sill, Okla,
during the war, Simon stays home all
day while his wife is employed in the
Department OF Labor, earning enough
to keep the home going.
He purchased Buddy a year and
half ago when the dog was but a
few weeks old and since then the ami
NAL has not left his side for more
than an hour or so at time. He even
awakened his master by jumping onto
his bed.
Monday Buddy jumped over the
fence of the Simon yard and did not
return. Simon thinks the dog must
have been stolen, since his collar was
marked with an identification plate
bearing his masters address and any
one finding him would have been able
to return him to his owner.

its upper portions still clear.
The men, wearing bathing suits be-
meath their clothes, discarded their
shirts and trousers and stood by the
siren, watching for approaching boats.
Miss Umberhocker sought refuge in a

RENT DATA GIVEN
ATTORNEY GENERAL
District Housing Complaints
Called to Attention of De-
partment of Justice.

Carrying out the resolution adopted
by the Senate District Committee sew
eral days ago, Chairman Capper yester-
day brought to the attention of Attor-
ney General Mitchell complaints made
TO the committee concerning rents in
Washington. Senator Capper, in a let
ter TO the Attorney General. said he was
laying the matter before him for such
action as YOU may deem proper in the
circumstances
After inclosing copy Of the commit
tees resolution. Senator Capper wrote ::
You will note that the resolution di-
rectS me, as chairman of the commit
tee. to bring to the attention of the
Department Of Justice the charge made
by District residents that a combine
between property owners and agents
exists. the effect of which is to main
tain an exorbitant charge for living
quarters in the District of Columbia. "
Decline Ignored.
This committee. recognizing its duty
to act in matters affecting the general
welfare of the public of this District, is
impressed by evidence at hand showing
that rents charged in Washington fail
utterly TO reflect the widespread pro-
nounced decline of commodity prices.
In its publication. Prices. Whole
sale and Retail and Cost of Living is
sue of December. 1881, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics Of the Department of
Labor reveals that not only has there
not been decrease in rents in the Dis
trict, but that the average of local rent
charges for December. 1881, was higher
in, 1QO0 Uh ha
ing shortage in the Nations Capital
had not been completely allayed by new
construction.
There is reason to believe that rents
charged in Washington at the present
time are considerably higher than are
the charges that are being made for
similar accommodations in other COM
parable cities.
Many Letters Received.
These high rents in Washington
have continued despite the imminent
prospect Of a reduction in the salaries
of employees Of the Federal and Dis
trict governments. and without regard
for the fact that local persons in pri-
vate employment have suffered wage
cuts.
The committee has received a large
number of letters from Washingtonians
intimating the existence of an agree
ment, tacit or otherwise, among rental
property owners and agents, to fix and
maintain rents at high level, partic-
ularly in connection with apartment
houses.
The committee has been informed
by persons who have sought living
quarters in all sections of Washington
that the rental scales in every part Of
the city show a suspicious uniformity;
that the number of vacant apartments
in a given apartment property appar-
emily have no affect on the rent level
in that establishment. and that in some
cases, rents have recently been in
creased.
1T is evident that the law Of supply
and demand is not functioning normal
ly in this situation. There is no Short
age of vacant rental space in the Dis
trict. The coincidental existence Of
these vacancies and the prevailing high
rents have impelled the committee to
advise the Department Of Justice of
the grave charge of a rent-fixing COM
bine."
