 According to Mccarthy. Mrs Hodgdon was nervous as they en- tered the boat and became more so as time went on. He was row. ing not far from shore. he recount ed, when the right oarlock slipped the boat rolled. and Mrs Hodgdon leaned the other way. All occu- pants were tossed into the black waters of the lake.
 Mccarthy said he tried to res cue Mrs Hodgdon but couldn't and finally had to cling to the upset and partly submerged craft to save his own life.

 Veteran railroad men predict that in tho event of tnflation, rates will not rise commensurately on n horizontal scale, that wages will be forced up, that pressure VIII be brought to maintain purchas- ing plans, that under no circum. stances will mechanical progress be allowed to make full headway into labor saving, and that taxes will rise. "Unless," predicted ono railroad leader, initiation enabled the railroads to retire q substan- tlal portion of funded debt, without the roads being encouraged to ac. auiro new debt, I believe 1t would be the last step to Federal owner- ship. With costs exceeding the present ratios, still greater cuts or high tariff freight would be thrown to truck and airway competitors With any further loss of high tar If freight, I do not believe many roads can afford to carry com. modit.es and other low tarift freight at rates which will be es- abolished. For there is little chance of commodity rates ever rising Tn line with either price or mone' tary imitation"
 This may be overly pessimistic for the railroads still carry more than so per cent of the country's freight. Tho studies now being carried on by Co.ordinator East man are expected, in progressive circles, to bring forth much use- ful information and ideas that should ehelp the railroads to in- crease revenues. However, 1t IS pointed out that the fact that such studies had to be inaugurated by the government is evidence of the apathy and apparent outright in- ability 0 frailroad men to get to- gether on any broad plan that will benefit the industry as a whole.

Here's news. Veteran firemon eoughed and almost ehoked to.day with smoke which poured from the basement of the Lincoln buiid- Ing on South Main street. Upstairs in Julia's Flower Shop eanaries sang merrily as the store became filled with clouds of smoke. There were no casualties among tho song birds. but some of the boys from firo headquarters lost little of their usual keen appetitcs as q res suit of the banquet of smoke given them unexpectedly.
 Tho cause of the excitement was an overloaded motor in q refrlg. orator plant in the basement. A telephone call to Are headquarters was answered by two companies of apparatus.

leading republicans of tho city ob. jected to Mir Colgrove, not on per- sonal grounds but because he was the choice of the Pape forces. They wanted q more neutral nominee picked, 1t Is said. Fur thermore, 1t Is reported, objection to MT Colgrove was opposed on the grounds that he would try to dic- tate the rest of the ticket if nom- mated and this would mean some of the regular organizations choice falling under the axe of the Pape machine, such as Registrar Of Voters Thomas F. Dillane.
 Therefore, with 6 o'clock this af- ternoon as the headline, the repub- licans are now practically decided on who their candidate will be. It Is not expected that more than one ticket of delegates will be pre- sented this afternoon although both the regular and the Pape forces are watching one another and an opposition is still possible, for one or more of the wards.
 It now appears unlikely, that Revenue Collector James r. Me- Grath will be the nominee for con- troller. For city sheriff the con- test Is being waged quite bitterly.

Foreign Policies Of

 To Be Considered

formed in British quarters that London Is hoping for Q % per cen, cut in it's debt--the same ent ap. piled to German separations at the Lausanne Conference last year.
 American officials say that if the British entertain this hope, they are over optimistic. No such drastic cut, they maintain, can be granted. .
 Sources close to Hull represent him as hopeful that q liberalization Of British commercial policy, in. crossing the. British market for American goods, will be q com plement to any debt settlement.
 Disarmament officials say that the United states is prepared to cooperate fully in any reasonably project for sealing, down armies and battleships at the Geneva dis. armament conference.
 Ambassador Norman II. Davis now Is on route to tho Geneva dis. armament conference, The presi. |. dent has kept himself freo to join Europe in disarming, if that con. tinent beiatedly decides 1t wants relief from military and naval bur. dens. A part of the present naval construction program can be sus- pended by the president If 1t inter. feres with q disarmament treaty cutting sea strength below the Lon. don treaty level. Also, Secretary of War Dern has announced that the proposed s60, 900. 900 program for military aircraft and tanks will be held up pending results at Geneva.
 Four presidents-wilson, Hard. ing. Coolidge and Hoover-have re. fused to recognize Soviet Russia, even while that state was expand ing into front-rank commercial power. Friends of the president say that he does not agree with the policy of his predecessors. They intimate that he intends to restore relations with Russia. and is only waiting for "propitious moment" :"
 There are indications that the right moment may not be far away. Both the agriculture department and the R. F. c. are known to have been studying ways to finance Soviet-American trade. Some ob- servers expect that recognition may be announced in connection with a concrete plan for stimulat- ing commerce.
 Hull, when asked if the Russian question would figure in next weeks conference, replied that Russia represented a good part of the planet and was important in foreign affairs. He would not commit himself further.
