TWO SOUTHERN
STATES VOTE
ON JULY 10
Big National Dry Organizations
Making Last Ditch Fight
to Halt Wet Sweep
BY international News Service

nv AHIeEHhLlOnal news service
The probable fate of the Eight
eenth Amendment will be known
to the American people within
two weeks-when the States of
Alabama and Arkansas vote on
repeal on July 18.
The two Southern States were
regarded here today as "bell-
wethers" of the repeal movement.
If they vote wet, repeal Of the
Eighteenth Amendment will be as
Sured-and probably within an
other few months.
If both States reject repeal the
fate of prohibition will be left in
doubt.
Twenty More States Needed
Sixteen States, with a popula-
ton of nearly 55,000,000, have
voted for repeal thus far. The
repealistS need ratification by 20
more States to remove the Eight
eenth Amendment from the Con-
stitution. If they can break into
the so-called dry "Solid South"
only a political miracle can pre-
vent repeal.
The national dry organizations
were reported making a last
ditch" fight to hold Alabama and
Arkansas to the prohibition ranks.
If they succeed the drys will need
but II additional States to keep
the Eighteenth Amendment in the
constitution.
With Alabama and Arkansas
dry, it would give tremendous
encouragement to the prohibi-
tionists in other Southern States
and in such dry territory as
Maine, Kansas, Oklahoma, South
Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado and
Idaho.
ProhibitiOnists Shaken
The wet victories in Delaware,
Indiana, Iowa, and West Vir-
ginia, long regarded as dry
States has shaken the prohibi-
tionists. If Alabama and Arkan-
sas vote for repeal, national pro-
hibition very likely will be ended
before Christmas.
At least IS other States will
vote on the issue before Novem-
Der 7. These are Tennessee,
July 20; Oregon, July 81; Texas,
August, 26; Washington, August
30; Vermont, September 5;
Maine, September II, Maryland
and Minnesota, September IL;
Idaho and New Mexico, Septem-
Der 10, Arizona, October 3, North
Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
South Carolina, November 7.
The Virginia legislature will
meet August 20 to fix date for
a repeal vote in that State.

PUBLIC FOR HIM
! ON NRA, HELD
FORD BELIEF

DETROIT, Sept. 8 UN.S).
The Ford Motor Company be-
lieves the weight of public opin-
ion is behind Henry Ford's at
titude in refusing to sign the
NRA automobile code.
This was revealed today by an
associate of the motor magnate.
The company offices, he said, are
being glooded with mail from
every section of the country, ex-
pressing the views Of the nation
on Ford's NRA stand. The Off
cial added:
"SuppOrting opinions far out
number those aSSailing Mr..
FOrd'S attitude.
"They seem to agree that our
policy has always favored the
wOrkmen and that the COM
pany would answer no further
purposes Of the recovery merely
by signing a CODE"
Replying to statements made
m Washington by Gen. Hugh
johnson that the Ford company
would be expected to live up to
terms of the law even though
the code was not formally ap-
proved, this representative said: +
I'VE have already opened
our books to the Government
In their check on our corpora
tiOn and income tax. Every.
thing is open to them. Whether
Mr.. Ford would object to Civ
ing the same records to the

New Method to Clean
Chimney Works, But
Wrecks Home

PHILADELPHIA-Removal OF
SCOT from a stopped-up chimney
by the usual laborious and
mussy methods seemed more
and more repuenant to Anthony
Savio, 40. as he contemplated
a flue needing such attention.
Why, he reasoned, wouldn't it
be simpler, and soil the hands
less, to pour gasoline down from
the top and then touch a match
to it? He tried it.
A puff and an explosion fol-
lowed.
The chimney was as clean as
a whistle, so nis hypothesis was
demonstrated, but it was costly.
The explosion tore hole in the
dining room and the furniture
was damaged and covered Wltp

GARNER, HERE TO SEE "CHIEF,"
EXPLAINS POLICY OF SILENCE

President as provided under the Con-
stitution.
There is no duty provided in the
Constitution for the Vice President, ex-
cept to preside over the Senate and to
hold himself in readiness on the con-
tingency of something happening to the
President.
"The Vice President has no legislative
function except to vote when there is
a tie in the Senate and no one can tell
when that will come.
Sets in With Cabinet.
cat the outset of this administration,
the President asked me to sit in with
the cabinet and have studied and en-
questions and affairs, SO that can give
good advice If I am asked for it.
It do not make any recommendations
to the President, either with regard to
policies or appointments. I only make
suggestions when ! am asked for them.
II I undertook to tell the President
what to do and how to run his busi-
ness the people might say the Vice
President Is trying to run the country
for the President. !, however, make
no recommendations except when re-
quested and no statements on public
questions except when asked by the
President"
Mrs. Garner came with the Vice
President and they Immediately went
to their hotel.
II feel better than I have felt in a
long time Garner said. My muscles
are as hard as rocks"

Vice President Garner returned to the
Capital today after spending the Sum-
mer at his Texas home and told news
paper men he would confer with Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the legislative pro-
gram to be submitted to Congress.
The former Speaker of the House dis
closed he had been requested by Mr..
Roosevelt to be here for the conference
ahead of the convening of Congress.
He said he would see the Chief"
either today or tomorrow. whichever Is
more convenient.
The Vice President was taciturn as
usual with regard to all public ques-
tions, but indicated Mr.. Roosevelt
would have little difficulty in getting
his program through Congress.
The Vice President, accompanied by
Mrs. Garner, reached Washington at
$50 o'clock this morning. He looked
in the best of health. The secretary
Of the Senate, Edwin A. Halsey. and
Sterling, were at the Union Station to
welcome him.
Texas Condition Excellent.
Except for some sections affected by
drought" Garner said, Texas is getting
along mighty we'll The State is in
just as good shape as it has been for
years.
The people of Texas are back of
the administration, with the possible
exception of few constitutionalists.
This includes both Republicans and
Democrats, although there are few Re-
publicans in Texas"
Asked about his continued silence on
public questions, Garner said:
Il have heard that there has been
some comment about the Vice Presi-
dent being a forgotten man.

a story about the duties of the Vice

the American Federation of Labor.
employers feel less responsibility for
their workers now that civil works are
providing jobs for several million"
Green said the federation records
show o,7o2 900 industrial unemployed
In November, as compared with 1O,022,-
0C0 in October. adding:
I'VE cannot hope to pull the ship OF
business out of depression by Slacken-
ing hold on the tow rope just as she
begins to move.

them"
Six Million Jobless.
Green's statement indicated that de-
spite the civil works program. there
still are approximately 6.524,000 per-
sons unemployed He said that in De-
cember, 1882, there were l2l24000 un-
employed and that this December in
dustry is supplying about 100000
more jobs, while the Government has
approximately 100000 persons tempo
rarily on its pay roll
The federation figures are based on
reports from unions throughout the
country and the Department of Labor
statistics on employment and manufac-
turing. They are intended to reflect
conditions at the middle of the month
and would not show any impression
made by the civil works employment
during November
Both in November and the first Of
December" said Green, unemployment
has increased 1t is quite normal at
both from farms and industries. but
labor had hoped that this year with
all the emphasis placed by the admin
iStration on creating Jobs lay-offs at
the year end would be much less severe
than usual.
Unemployment Increasing.
Instead more we're laid off from
id-October to mid-November this year
than last year and trade union figures
for the first half of December show
that again in December unemployment
has increased slightly more than last
year. Trade union weighted figures
show 22.8 per cent of membership un-
employed in December compared to q
In November and pit in October. Un-
employment is increasing faster now
than at any time since January.
These figures give the impression
that industry is Slackening IN It's effort
to create jobs and put men to work.
Developments IN November and Dec em-
Der are in striking contrast to the steady
employment gains from April to Sep
tember when men vent back to work
by the million even though business
was declining from July forward"

WHEN her relatives finally found
w her, and restored her to the
birthright which was hers as a
white woman of good family, Gym
thia Ann Parker looked like an In
dian, her skin burned brown under
the hot sun of the Western plains,
her clothing a dirty blanket and
worn moccasins, and she acted like
one.
Here was a strange story. The
Parkers came pioneering into Texas
between 1885 and 1910, when Texas
had just wrested independence from
Mexico, and bands of hostile In
dians and marauding Mexicans still
roamed the sparSely settled plains
They settled near the present site
of Groesbeck. Only a little later,
during an attack by the Comanche
Indians, Cynthia Ann and her small
brother were captured and carried
away.
Years passed before the whites
learned of the fate of the little girl.
Then band of hunters, visiting the
camp of the Comanches. now
turned friendly, saw her there, grown
TO young womanhood. They finally
persuaded the red men to allow
them to talk with her. But it was
an unsatisfactory interview.
More years went by. The white
girl was married, after the Indian
custom. to brave named Peta No
coma, and bore him a son, destined
to become known throughout the ma
ton as Quanah Parker, chief of
the Comanches, one of the most
noble and famous of red men.
When Texas achieved statehood,
military force was organized to
clear her borders of the menacing
rec men. During an expedition led
against the Comanches by Capt. L.
s Ross, Peta NOcona was killed and
Cynthia Ann captured. carried away
from her son and her red friends
and restored to the whites. Still her
face was an impenetrable mask. She
seemed to have no recollection of
her own language or people. Finally
Captain Ross resorted to the happy
device Of relating to her, detail by
detail, but as If it had happened
to someone else, the story of her
own childhood. When he told of
the Indian raid and kidnapping, her
face at last Lit with recognition
Pointing grimy finger at herself
she said. ME Cynthia Ami"
At Austin, Texas, she was placed

Sacred Book had been provided for the oath.
Washington's second Inauguration. in Philade-
phia, was less spectacular than the first. When
John Adams was inaugurated in the same city in
1897 Washington the dominant figure. He
was retiring from public fe and the people had
eyes only for him. Many of them cried. Adams.
VIGOROUSLY vain and jealous, was much en-
barrassed. And just as Adams Presidential ca
reer began in disappointment, so it ended. He
was so enraged by his defeat in the election that
he refused TO attend the Inauguration of JEFF
ferson but left the White House and started
for Massachusetts early the morning of in
auguration day.
Jefferson was the first President inaugurated
at Washington. Despite the picturesque tradition
of his horseback ride to the Capitol. critical re-
search discloses that the author OF the Declara-
ton of Independence did not ride. He went afoot,
which was Democratic enough.
The installation of James Madison in 1909
was attended by much more ceremony than
attended the inauguration Of Jefferson. The day
ushered in with salutes of cannon. Madison
rode to the Capitol In a richly appointed carriage
escorted by troops of militia.
The first Inauguration to be held outdoors
was that Of Monroe Two reasons are assigned

the senate could not agree over the distribution
Of seats in the house. where it had been Gus
tomary to hold the ceremony.
John Quincy Adams refused to attend the in
auguration of his successor, Andrew Jackson,
the two men being on the worst possible terms
Jackson was in Washington for two weeks be-
fore his Inauguration, but didn't go near Adams.
Frontersmen, Indian fighters and thousands of
humble citizens crowded around the Capitol to
see Jackson sworn in. Washington had never be-
held such horde of visitors.
After Jackson's hectic day, Van Buren, re-
stored dignity to the Inauguration and it is re-
corded that champagne flowed most bounteousy
at the reception. Jackson and Van Buren rode
together from the White House to the Capitol
in 1887 in phaeton made from the timbers of
the old frigate Constitution.
The first elaborate parade came with William
Henry Harrison after the colorful and famous
"Tippecanoe" campaign. He rode his white
charger from the Capitol to the White House
He was preceded by captured flags; Tippecanoe
clubs were everywhere; large los cabin was
carried on a float in the parade and Penn
sylvarla admirer presented the President with
3S4 round fatted calf.
