TWO nights later sat with

was an insurance man, lawyer,

The insurance man said: I'm

Roosevelt-and 1 think I'll do it
again"
The lawyer said: I'm one of
the few chronic Democrats in this
town. l think Roosevelt has done
the best job he could and 1 don't
see any way he can be defeated.
/ don't believe a strong third party
can be put over"
The monument dealer and farm
owner held: The drought gets
80 per cent the credit for the rise
in farm prices. Roosevelt broke
his pledges and the Democratic
platform. Still I don't see how he
can be beaten"
The hotel keeper had this to
say: I've got to admit that I'm
for Roosevelt. I'm an old La

see any real hope for national

FARLEY WARS
ON FOREIGN
LOTTERIES
200 Fraud Orders Issued
BY Postal Chief Against
Persons, Firms Abroad

Government officials struck an
other blow today at American
participation in foreign lotteries.
Aroused by the draining of sub
stantial sums from the country.
to be placed on horses entered
in the overseas events, Postmas-
ter General Farley issued fraud
orders denying the use of the
mails to more than 200 individ-
uals and companies operating
outside of the United States.
All Live Abroad
Among those barred are resi-
dents of Quebec and Montreal,
Canada; Hull, England; Havana,
Cuba; Dublin, Ireland, and Italy.
Stories of huge sums won by
Americans in the Irish Sweep
stakes particularly have stimu-
lated the purchase of lottery tick
cts for these events to such an
extent as to pump sizeable sums
of money out of the United States
into foreign treasures.
This circumstance, coupled with
a desire to discourage this form
of gambling, led to today's fraud
order.
Postal authorities pointed out
that lotteries are illegal in the
United States and the postal laws
prohibit the use of the mails for
advertising them, delivering
tickets. soliciting business, or
otherwise promoting them in any
way.
Davis Trial Recalled
In recent years, Senator James
]. Davis (R.) of Pennsylvania was
prosecuted under the Federal
statute for his supposed participa-
ton in a national lottery con-
Quoted by the Loyal Order OF
Moose. Two trials were required
to acquit him.
Convictions have been obtained
repeatedly in this country under
the same law evoked by the Post
master General in denying the
mails to overseas sweepstakes syn
dicates and their representatives.
Question, Pro and Con
Administration officials have
steadfastly resisted suggestions
that lotteries be legalized in the
United States as they are in
many foreign countries, some of
which depend on the proceeds
from national drawings as one
of their chief sources of revenue.
Opposition to all such schemes
has been based on the social de-
moralization resulting from ma
tional lotteries in Latin countries
particularly.

CHESAPEAKE BEACH, Md,
Feb. 23.-Mysteriously missing
from his home near here since
Christmas night, the body Of
David Cox, 40, section hand on
the Chesapeake Beach railroad,
was found floating in the Chesa-
peake Beach Canal today.
William Grewison, II, found
the body while playing with other
children near the canal. Calvert
County Sheriff Morris Buckler
took immediate charge of the
case and said an investigation
would be made.
A cursory examination indi-
Gated the man had drowned.
Cox, father of five children, left
his home Christmas night to take
a walk and visit friends, it was
learned, and was not seen again.
Officials could not explain to-
day how the body could have re-
manned unnoticed in the canal for
more than two months, if he was
drowned Christmas night. in that
a body will float to the surface
within a few days.
One theory advanced, however,
was that the body had been caught
under ice that has covered the
canal much of the time recently.

SECRET 100"
ORGANIZED
|NHOUSE
Liberal Bloc to Battle for
Progressive Laws, Help
Handle Patronage
international News Service

Recalcitrant House Democrats
today moved to organize the
"Secret 100" bloc to fight for
progressive legislation and also to
exercise influence in handling Of
Administration patronage.
The organization. it was dis
closed, will combat all movements
to turn the Roosevelt administra-
ton to the right" on vital legis-
lation to come before Congress
this session.
In an effort to liberalize the
Administrations social security
program and to obtain adoption
of other liberal legislation, leaders
of the group planned to invite
the aid of Republican progress
sives, the Wisconsin ProgressiveS
and Minnesota Farmer-LaboriteS
The plan of leaders of the
group is to hold secret meet
ings, agree upon a secret pro-
gram and use every parliament
airy means to accomplish their
ends.
With 100 members in the
"Secret 1O0," leaders believe, they
can exercise wide influence in
tn House in spite of the fact
that it's total membership is
435 and the Democratic strength
is more than two-thirds of the
House.
Bonus Issue
Initiation, the soldiers bonus,
an MIRA extension bill favorable
to labor, and the 30-hour week
are among the topics which will
be laid before the group.
The Secret 100" is the out
growth of an organization formed
just before the close Of the last
session. In the wild days which
preceded its end, vitality impor-
tant m SureS, including the
Frazier-Lemke farm moratorium,
were forced through.
Democratic leaders in the
movement believe they can COM
bine with Republicans to defeat
"gag" rules, and thus throw bills
open to progressive" amend
ments.

Beaten in his long legal battle
to escape the penitentiary, Nor
man S. Bowles, former Washing.

more today to start serving a
three-year term for violation Of
the income tax laws.
He will be taken to Lewisburg,

after spending the weekend in
the Baltimore city jail. Bowles'
last hope was blasted when the
United States Supreme Court re-
fused to review his case.
Last May he was found guilty
in the Federal District Court in
Baltimore on four counts charg-
ing evasion of income taxes and
sentenced to three years impris-
onment and fined $4,000. The
Government held that BoWles
failed to report. his income for
1880, when he is alleged to have
made 1000, and for 1881, it was
charged, he falsified his returns
on an income placed at SAT 900.

At TRAIN
Executive to Attend Banquet
at Harvard Tonight; Will
See Son Join Fly Club

BOSTON, Feb. % G.N.S).
Pre-banquet food tasterS, huge
police guard, augmented by de-
tectives and Secret Service men,
and additional railroad guards
along the main line from Spring
field, went to work today to
insure full measure of protection
for President Franklin D. Roose-
welt en- route to live again to-
night his undergraduate days at
Harvard University's exclusive
Fly Club, which initiates his
nameSake son.
The guarding of the President
was elaborate, but not unusual
for this section. In fact, the
police guard was smaller than
when the President came here
amid day time crowds two years
ago at the start of his coastal sea
trip.
Governor Guarded
In addition to a guard for the
President, another guard was
assigned to Gov. James M.
Curley, when he meets the ma
tons Chief Executive upon ar
rival.
The President left Washing.
ton at $50 a. m. today.
More than $50 policemen, de-
tectives, and Secret Service men
will guard the President from the
time he steps off his train at
p. m. (E.S.TO in the Allston
railroad yards until he entrains
for his Hyde Park, N. Y, home
at 1890 a. m. tomorrow.
Closely Guarded
In addition to the police guard,
the precaution of examining and
tasting all food to be served at
the Fly Club banquet will be
taken. All of the 200 persons
expected to attend the banquet
will be subject to rigid scrutiny
by police.
For a half mile in the vicinity
of the Fly Club, streets will be
roped off with admission barred
to all. Not even parked automo.
biles will be allowed in the area.
For six hours all traffic along the
route taken by the President from
his train to the Fly Club will be
prohibited.
May Play Tunes
President Roosevelt may be
called upon to speak before the
Fly Club members and guests. It
is hoped he will sit down at the
battered old club piano and bang
out tunes as he did on his visit
in 1929. To make the evening
more lively, there will be cham
payne from the clubs cellars.
Meanwhile, a movement was
underway to name the Russian
bells in Lowell House tower the
