always been an active battler for the rights of the g.o.p. side of the board to pass city Legislation.
 However, Alderman Schmidt was told that he was going to be dropped as far back as the early part of the summer when Pulp fisher Pape's party was held in Woodbury. Adam Callan, treas- urer of the republican town conn mittee, told Alderman Schmidt at the "harmony" gathering that he and others on the board were go- ing to go off the ticket this year. The declaration of Treasurer Cal Ian caused the party at Pape's far into be anything but harm ,n- ious.
 Threat Bore Fruit
 However, the Callan threat served to get Aldermen c. Arthur DuBois. George Kingston and Joseph Wilhelm working harder than ever for tn eparty. They fin- ally got back into the good graces of Publisher Pape an were allowed to be renominated for the board Thursday night.
 Friends of Leader Schmidt de- clare that he should not have been picked out and thrown into the discard by the Pape crowd. It now appears that Alderman Fran cis Phillips, if reelected. will slip into the shoes of leader which Alderman Schimdt has worn for many, many years.

 Let me see my daughter" he said.
 He was taken to the front room.
 "Oh, my God," he gasped. He broke into uncomfortable sobbing; and seemed about to collapse. He was placed in a chair. For fully five minutes he sat beside the body.
 Then he rose, his hands over his face and walked out of the room.
 Then funeral arrangements were discussed and it was decided to take the body to St. Louis for bur ial. Both MT. and Mrs. Hoey will accompany the body when 1t leaves Downington either Sunday dayor Monday, or at the latest Tuesday. Hoey selected an opal colored metal casket.
 Has An Open Mind \ As he prepared to leave he was asked: How do you feel toward Rogers? Do you plan to confront him?" He hesitated, then replied: II have no desire to confront him. I have an open mind and will have an open mind until have all the facts. My thoughts right now are for my daughter" Investigating authorities, who in- tend to present what evidence they have been able to uncover, at the inquest either Wednesday or Friday, generally were inclined toward the suicide theory.
 District Attorney William Parke said that no evidence had been found to indicate homicide, where as some facts pointed to suicide. He said the case appeared to de- pend on the outcome of the finger printing performed by Charles B Dunlap, an expert in the Chester Pa., police department.
 County Detective Grubb told the United Press that after @ tele. phone conversation with Dunlap he was inclined to believe Mis-. Hoey shot herself. He would not say whose finger prints Dunlay reported finding on the pistol.
 Dunlap Is expected to presen his report to the district attorney today.

 Detectives at first believed the shooting was the result of love triangle, but both Look and Mrs. Hyde ridiculed this theory.
 "All this is preposterous!" ex- claimed Mrs. Hyde. daughter of Francois Tonetti, widely known sculptor. "Mr. owen came to my cottage 8 few times and we talked. We talked about books. He read many books and we liked to discuss current books with each other. He was very interesting to talk with.
 Enjoyed Friendship.
 'I enjoyed his friendship and he was perfect gentleman in my company. I have four children and that this should come into my life Is really terrible.
 q knew both men. To say any thing else is utterly preposterous. No, any report that my friendship was anything but that is all wrong"
 The district-attorney indicated he would seek to send Look to the electric chair. There was ample evidence, he said, that the crime was premeditated.
 James Holmes, negro chef at the Hyde cottage, said that soon after the shooting he overheard Look tell Mrs. Hyde that T did what said I was going to do."
 More Sensational.
 More sensational was Holmes story of an incident which he said occurred April 22.
 "Ill never forget that day." he related. Tt was April 22. I know because it was just few days af- ter Palm Sunday. K. O. (his nick name for Owen) went to Looks cottage and had been drinking. went down there and Look said he wound like to kill him.
 T said to him, my God, man do you know what you are say. ing?'
 CT think I'll take him out ir the boat right now and throw him in the Sound'," Look said to me.
 I know K. o. heard what he said, because the next morning K. O. told me that I saved his life and he knew it. I told him to stay away from there, but he never did"

SUPPORTERS OF

(Continued from Page 1.l burtss sniping at the Long control with an indication of later and more concentrated attacks.
 The developments in the Long camp have been of interest because of the general feeling that the machine would fall apart with the death of its leader.
 Thus far there has been no pulp lie sign of squabbling within the Long faction, and the leaders of the movement have been attempt ing to present solid front.
 Bitter Fight Coming
 It is apparent that a bitter fight will precede the January campaign for the nomination of a senator to succeed Long and that this cam paign will determine largely the future of the Long movement, at least for the next few years.
 Smith, who has changed over- night from a retiring individual to a militant campaigner, disavows any political ambitions. His inter- est, he says, lies solely in the "share- wealth" societies scat tered through the nation. He at- tackled Louisiana newspapers, par ticularIy those of New Orleans, and he predicted that facts con- necte1 with the assassination of Long would shake this state and this country"
 "We are sealed together by the blood of our creator" he said.
 He directed a particularly bit- ter attack upon Sen. Theodore Bilbo, CD. Miss).
 You, Senator Bilbo, "carrying on your fight in Mississippi with your venomous lies, you energized those who figured in the assassina- ton of Huey Long,"
 Mrs. Long Refused
 sub-leaders of the Long polit- ical organization, 1t was learned wanted Long's widow to accept appointment as his successor in the senate until expiration of his term in January. 1897.
 Mrs. Long told them she didn't want 1t.
 'I have my children" she told the men who think only in terms of precincts and parishes and bal lots. T must think of them first"
 "We may be able to persuade her to accept the appointment" a prominent Long leader told the United Press. But so far she has told us that she has no interest in politics"
 Mrs. Long, 1t was learned, re- ceived a death-bed message from her husband in which he advised her specifically concerning the delegation of his power.
 Even while the Kingfsh's lieu tenants squabbled over the dis position of the spells. Mrs. Long retired quietly to her New Orleans home.

NIGHT NOISES IN CITY CONTINUE

 .anti-noise drive aimed at all un- necessary noise between II p. m. and a. m. Mayor La Guardia has transmitted orders to police, effec- tive next month, to arrest those guilty of the offense. The drive is aimed particularly at the blowing of automobile horns.
 Toronto Took Action ; In Toronto, Canada, the board sof control recently voted to forbid the honking of auto horns between II D. m. and 2 a. m. Chicago Is now taking similar steps. In Flu rope, London, Paris, Berlin and other large cities have already ..outlawed the use of the auto horn sduring sleeping hours.
 Public protest" Supt. Mclean recalled today" resulted In the end of one source of unnecessary noise that annoyed residents of this city some years ago. The trains com ing into the city from the north used to start their whistles blow ing at about Waterville and keep them open all the way into the station. The people of Waterbury who didn't think the sound musi- cal or pleasant, stood 1t for some time. Then they began to protest to the New Haven railroad, and soon the annoying scream wasn't heard any more."
 Complaints Informal
 Occasionally one neighborhood jn Waterbury protests against one 1Bource of noise or another during sfhe night, but the complaints are sAlways informal. Auto horns have roused the ire of some; still an- sDther has been the chatter of milk swagons during the wee hours.
 But unless-and until-there's a Formal protest to police, the de- apartment will mind It's own busi- mess.

 On Sept. IS, 1885, the Barnum & London shows were entraining after having played the little On- tario village of St. Thomas. Jumbo was being led through the freight yards with Tom Thumb, midget elephant. Suddenly a locomotive loomed only 8 few yards away.
 Jumbo picked up Tom Thumb in his huge trunk and tossed him over a low embankment to safety. But seconds later the engine crashed into Jumbo and the mon- ster died of a skull fracture.
 Barnum was a trustee of Tufts collage and if was to this institu- ton that he sent Jumbo's hide, mounted on wooden frame. Jumbo has since been the colleges symbol. The elephants skeleton was sent to the Smithsonian In- stitution at Washington.
 Following Jumbo's death. Bar mum imported huge female ele- phant which he billed as "Jumbo's Widow" and exhibited with Tom Thumb.

Litvinov's hint that Germany might be before the league. at some future time was calculated to ap- peal to many nations--most partic- ularly to France, but also to Bril- tain; and, in normal times, to Italy.
 His speech came after one by Foreign Minister Armindo Rodri- guez Montiero of Portugal, in which the full support for the league covenant of Britain's tradi- tional ally was promised.
 The contrast between the coun- tries which Monteiro and Litvinov represented was eloquent of the unanimity with which league mem- bers have opposed war-Portugal with 35, ,49O square miles of terri tory and 6,S25,8S3 people; Russia with 8.241,921 square miles and 165,778, 400 people.
