The court, composed of dozen gen.

Col. McMullen was on hand early

CHILD SAVED

Victor Gurley played the part

man and woman very frantic,
screaming at the top of their
voices. Looking into the lake, he
saw a child about 13 years old
struggling for life with its mouth
open. Mr.. Gurley plunged in; res
cued the child; placed it at the
disposal of the parents, who work
ed with it long enough to see that
recovery appeared safe, although
it was much exhausted by the
struggle. They bundled up the
child, cranked up their car, which
carried a Spartanburg plate and
moved off.
Approaching the excitement
and great ordeal through which
the parents passed, Mr.. Gurley
overlooked the fact that they
didn't take time off to ask his
name, his business in passing at
such a critical moment or to eX-
Djress appreciation for saving the

BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 10 (UP).
Friends of Alfred E. Smith re-
ported today that he had decided
to boycott politics during the
1886 presidential campaign.
Insiders professed to have heard
the leader of the Democratic
Stop-Roosevelt movement say he
would make no political speeches
nor otherwise participate publicly
in the campaign.
Smith may stand on his June 22
open letter to the Democratic ma
tional convention in which he
Joined with four other prominent
Democrats in objecting to re-nom-
nation of Mr.. Roosevelt. They
condemned the New Deal and pro-
posed a series of reforms to be
written into the Democratic plat
form. e..
Co-signers with AL Smith were
cambridge Colby and Daniel r.
Cohalan of New York; James A..
Reed, of Missouri; and Joseph B..
Ely, former governor of Massa-
chusetts. Ely announced immedi-
ately after publication of the let
ter that he was willing to cam
paign in New England for Gov.
Alf : M. Landon, Republican presl-
dental candidate.
Reed said he would make some
speeches, but it appeared they
would be more in criticism of the
New Deal than in praise OF Lam
don.
Chairman John D. M. Hamilton
of the Republican national COM
mittee was quick to invite Demo-
cratic boilers into the G. 0. P.
camp. A refusal by Smith to ac-
cept that hospitality would con.
firm the belief of many political
observers that long political train.
ing under Tammany rules would
prevent a brown derby bolt this
year. The unforgivable sin among
Tammany braves is vote for a
Republican.
Republican prospects would be
diminished and the Democratic
chances in the east proportionate-
ly improved by Smiths silence
this year. His voice would be an
asset to either party. Smith has
lost many of his 1928 followers,
but he still is a potent political
factor, especially in New York,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut.
Smith practically foretold his
course of action in the January
speech delivered before the Amer
lean Liberty League.

Dies; Began Career as

PLATTSBURG, N. Y, July Is.
(UP).-Dr. Samuel Parkes Cad
man, II, perhaps the best known
clergyman in America. died here
Sunday at almost the exact hour
he was stricken while delivering a
sermon a week ago.
DR.. Cadman, who rose from a
coal miner in England to "the
greatest figure in the American

Only recently the famed radio
preacher and lecturer said: 81

1t was just a week after he was
carried out of the pulpit of the
Westport Community church that
his death occurred. 1t is probable
that DR.. Cadman would be alive
today if he had not insisted on
"doing his job" as he put it.
Stricken with appendicitis, at
Westport, he completed his ser
mon before being taken to a hos
pital here. But he would not stay
in bed.
He was scheduled to preach at

and made his last public address

he returned to his hospital bed to
die.
When he got back to the hos

was little hope for his life at any

ENTENTE SAID
PEACE SCHEME
Not War-Like Combination,
Restoration Not Involved,
y Says Schuschnigg
BRINGS NO CHANGE In
! INTERNAL AFFAIRS
| BY RICHARD D. MCMILLAN
copyright, 1886, United Press)


al VIENNA, July IS. - (UP).-
chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, in
an exclusive interview with the
United Press last night, said that
Austria will not enter any war
like combination of states despite
her newly created entente with
Germany.
Asked if Austria's foreign pol
icy henceforth will be subordinat-
ed to that of Germany, the Aus
TRAN dictator said his country will
remain entirely independent and
peaceful but will take into ac-
count the common ties of lang
uage and mutual interest which
unite the two countries.
He said the question of restor-
ing the imperial house of the
Hapsburgs to Austria has not been
sidetracked by the new Austro-
German peace pact, but remains
"just where it was" The restora-
ton is an internal problem and
Germany has promised to main
tain a hands-off policy in all af-
fairs which concern Austria only,
Schuschnigg pointed out.
The chancellor added that the
Hapsburgs could be restored to
the throne of their fathers only
as result of a plebiscite and not
by force. He did not consider the
present time, however, as suitable
for putting the question to the
people as it might endanger the
peace of Europe. Schuschnigg re-
called that certain members of the
Little Entente had threatened to
go to war to prevent recreation
of the imperial house of Austria.
All Austrian polivical offenders
will be released shortly, Schusch-
nigg revealed. However, those
guilty of crimes against person or
property will remain in prison.
He warned that if Nazi extrem-
lists continue to agitate against
the government, they will be re-
pressed, but those accepting the
government will not be molested.
The government will open inn
mediate negotiations for trade
agreements with Germany, to be
established on a clearing basis.
All obstacles blocking tourist trat-
fic between the two German
speaking countries will be re-
moved. Austria expects to bene-
fit greatly by the strengthened
commercial relations.
Schuschnigg emphasized that
Austria intends to remain a mem

will attend the September meet
ing of the assembly which will
