Pleads for Children
Such a mother is Mrs. M. G..
This is her letter:
1--WE are in the same fix as
many others families. Our
means have been exhausted.
My husband, an engineering
craftsman, has been out Of
work three years.
1--WE managed to take care Of
ourselves until August of this
year. We then had to pocket
what we had left Of pride and

us to make a Christmas for our
children. There are two little

CHINESE SEIZED
IN RAID

NEW YORK. Nov. S U.N.S0,
Federal agents today were hot on
the trail of ringleaders of o bold
band of narcotic and alien SNUG
glers believed to have made mil
lions by transporting hundreds Of
Orientals and huge quantity Of
opium into this country from the
Island of Trinidad, off the South
American coast.
Striking with lightning-like
swiftness, the Federal men raided
the headquarters of the gang
early yesterday in an isolated
mansion at South Keansburg, N.
j., and found 10 wretched and
frightened Chinese, guarded by a
giant Trinidad Negro and five po-
lice dogs. The Negro guard was
captured, but the gang leaders
escaped.
The Chiense were survivors OF
so Orientals who left China many
months ago to reach America, the
promised land. Arriving at Trini-
dad; they were hidden in the holds
of two small tramp steamers bound
for the Virginia Capes. Half a
dozen became i'll and were thrown
to the sharks by their masters"
Landed off the Virginia Capes,
the Chinese were sewed in hurlap
sacks, loaded on trucks with sacks
of potatoes and hauled to the New
Jersey dungeon.
Relatives and friends of most of
them supplied the $1,000 or $500
necessary to obtain their release.
Others were sold to Chinese laun-
drymen in New York as poems.

VOTE AWAITED
!. BY PRESIDENT
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Nov. 5
GN.SO. President Roosevelt
rested here today and prepared to
cast his vote tomorrow for his old
friend and former lieutenant gov
ernor Herbert Lehman, up for re-
election as the Empire States
executive for a second term.
Mr.. Roosevelt made no bones
about his feelings so far as New
York State was concerned. He
considers himself a citizen of the
State, and as such, felt that he
was free to declare himself for any
candidate. Consequently, he an
nounced he would vote for Mr..
Lehman.
Senator Royal Copeland, also up
for reelection, was to receive the
presidential vote. Mr.. Roosevelt,
responding to questions last Fri
day, declared that people would be
surprised to learn how many times
he had voted for Republican can
didates, but later made it plain
that this did not mean he would
fail to vote for Senator Copeland.
The Executive has had no i'm
portant engagements since he ar
rived here early Saturday. Col.
E. M. House. who has been an ad-
wiser to half a dozen Presidents,
was a visitor yesterday, put when
he left late in the afternoon, de-
clared that politics were not for
mally discussed. Colonel House
did say. however, that the New
Deal would win overwhelmingly.
Today's schedule for the Presi-
dent included nothing formal.
He was to meet representatives of
the Newspaper Guild of America
in the morning. He has stuck
closely to his schedule of rest
since he arrived here. He will
leave Tuesday night, arriving in
Washington Wednesday morning.

On Doctors

LONDON G.N.SO. - Why
should a surgeon be allowed to
stick a knife in man and
pocket a fee of $500 or so with
out there being an inquest if
the man dies?
George Bernard Shaw, famed
playwright and wit, wants to
know the answer to this poser.
For this reason he has started
a vigorous campaign for legisla-
ton making it the law of Bri-
tain that if man or woman
dies following an operation
there should be ain inquest.
Shaw says:
you cannot do away with
surgery. But what l do say is
that if a man dies following an
operation there should be an
inquest"

10 Parties In Contests
For Votes Tomorrow

Car owners who are weary OF
paying special motor taxes that
are diverted to channels that have
nothing to do with motoring
should keep their eyes on Michi-
gan. Ohio, Colorado and Iowa.
Those States are going to vote
on constitutional amendments to
prevent diversion of special motor
taxes, such as license fees and
gas taxes, to relief, education and
similar non-related purposes.
OF $1,137, 100000 in special mo-
tor taxes collected by the States
in 1888, approximately 100000
900 was diverted.
Those who are supporting the
nondiversion amendments want
special motor taxes to be expended
on highway building and mainte-
nance and wherever motorists
would derive direAt benefit.

PADDOCK LAW
SENTENCE
UPHELD
Judges Action in Releasing
Prohibition Offenders Is
Held Erroneous

Freed by far reaching decision
made by District Supreme Court
Justice Daniel W. ODonoghue
last spring, Jack E. O'Hearne, well
known in local night club circles,
will have to go back to the Dis.
trict Jail and serve out the re-
mainder of a 10-month sentence
for contempt of court growing out
of a prohibition law violation, the
District Court of Appeals ruled
today.
The appellate court also ruled
that two other men, Harry T.
johnson and George DodSon, who
were freed while serving sentences
for dry law infraction, must re-
turn to the prison.
Justice O'Donoghue released the
men last March, holding that the
Twenty-firSt Amendment wiped
out the National Prohibition law
and all prisoners serving SEN
fences under the dry law were en-
titled to their freedom when the
repeal amendment was ratified
last December S.
Garrett Fights Ruling
United States Attorney Leslie C.
Garrett, his assistant, Harry l..
Underwood, and former assistant.
William A. Gallagher, carried the
case to the higher court. The
higher court decided Congress had
not intended to make the Twenty
first Amendment retroactive. The
opinion stated:
Assuming it would have been
competent for the Congress to
propose and for the people to
adopt the Twenty-firSt Amend.
ment in a form having a retro
spective effect on penalties i'm
posed but not yet performed
under the Eighteenth Amend
ment, which it repealed, this was
not done, and it is not open to
the courts to do SO by assuming
to read into the repeating
amendment provisions which it
does not contain.
IF it should be considered
that undue hardship is thereby
brought upon individuals, either
few or many, the remedy lies
with the legislative and execu.
tive departments of the Govern.
ment, which, can relieve the
situation by amnesty or pardon"
Contempt Case
O'Hearne was sentenced for con.
tempt of court for violation of a
paddock injunction in connection
with Speakeasy operations in the
District. He was sentenced to
serve 10 months in jail and had
completed only four and a half
months of the term when he was
liberated. Johnson and Dodson
were serving terms for. direct VIC
1ations of the dry law.
The decision of the appellate
court is expected to be carried to
the United States Supreme Court
by Harry T. Whelan and William
B. O'Connell, counsel for
O'Hearne.

Election Tomorrow Has Little
Meaning to Future OF
the New Deal
By FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL

Shifting political sands upon
which more than a thousand can
didates for public preferment will
tread tomorrow may mean all
in the world to the personalities
involved, but as far as the nation
is concerned the election is not
expected to mean any great shift
in governmental policies.
There is no possibility, in the
view of Washington observers,
that the election returns tomor-
row night could show such an
overwhelming upset as to lead
President Roosevelt away from
any of the policies to which he
has committed his Administra
ton.
On the other hand, there is
not likely to be any change in
policy as a result of increasing
