tive 1886 Democratic platform
broad enough to please left-wing
liberals and hard-shelled conserv-
atives, worked behind the scenes
here last nigh to thwart conven-
ton floor fights on money and
constitution planks.
Delegates from all parts of the
nation streamed into town by au-
tomobile, train and airplane and
brought with them potential head
aches for party leaders who are
working desperately to preserve
harmony and present some degree
of a united front against the Lam
don-Knox ticket.
The money issue rolled into the
Quaker City with the arrival OF

CUP).-Sen. Duncan U. Fletcher,
n, yesterday was buried here in
the city where he began his long
public career which led to the
craftsmanship of the senate's pow
erful committee on banking and
currency.
As the sun broke through lead
en- skies, a guard of honor fired
three volleys a bugler sounded
taps, and the body was lowered
into it's grave.
Thousands filed past the sena-
tors body as it lay IN state in the
rotunda of Jacksonville's City hall
before the funeral.
Fletcher, who started life on a
Georgia farm, was expected to be
remembered longest for his recent,
unsuccessful fight for federal
funds with which to continue work
on the Florida ship canal. A few
hours after the states senior SEN
ator died in Washington last week,
the house refused to accept sem
ate amendment which would have
permitted possible resumption OF
construction on the canal.
Fletcher's service in the senate
was unbroken following his cleo

LEADERS SIGN MESSAGE
OF REPUTATION =. ..
By HARRY FERGUSON

United Press Staff Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, June a.
(UP). ALFRED E. Smith and
leaders of the conservative wing
of the Democratic party called on
delegates to the national conven-
ton last night to join them in
battle to try to drive President
Roosevelt and the New Dealers
out of the seats of power.
A telegram was sent to all OF
the 1900 delegates, involving
such great names as Jackson, JET
ferson, and Cleveland in a plea to
"put aside Franklin D. Roosevelt
and substitute some genuine DEM
ocrat." 1t was signed by Smith,
cambridge Colby, James A. Reed,
Joseph B. Ely and Daniel F. Co.
halan.
Thus Democrats headed toward
their convention, harassed on the
left wing by the third party OF
Congressman William Lemke and
on the right flank by Smith and
his allies, who have taken tneir
walk.
In the face of revolt and dis
satisfaction, Postmaster General
James A. Farley sat on the back
of a divan in the Bellevue STRAIT
ford hotel last night and reiterat-
ed that Mr.. Roosevelt will be re.
nominated without opposition and
reelected in November.
Behind their smiles, Democrats
were worried by this chipping
away of their strength at the start
of the campaign, and worried men
gathered in hotel rooms to devise
means of keeping New Deal lines
intact for the great battle to
come.
Tucked away in the last para
graph of the Smith telegram was

Democratic votes in November to

Hurt When Two
Trucks Collide
Were Members of Mayor

Asheville Outing

Nine Hendersonville boys, mem
bers of Mayor A. V. Edwards

Saturday about p. M, when the

Asheville Recreation park for an
outing and were returning home

was going east on billiard. Mr..

his brakes were not working prop

stop before entering Hilllard
street. He swerved to the left in
an effort to avoid the collision
and the truck went over the curb.

FARM MORTGAGING
DROPS ONE-THlRD
Figures Indicate Farmers
of Nation Are Not Going
Further Into Debt

Total farm mortgage loans recorded
throughout the United States by all in
situations and individuals during the
year ending May 81, last, amounted to
S9OO,OOO,OO0, compared to $1,44O,OOO,-
600 during the previous one year period
as announced by the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration in Washington, representing
a decline of one-third in II months.
Most farm mortgage loans continue to
represent the refinancing on better terms
of existing Indebtedness, thus proving
that farmers are not going further into
debt.
Although the Federal land banks and
land bank commissioner loans continue
to rank first among various classes OF
credit.rs, with S313000,000 of the total
advanced to farmers during the twelve
month period, there has been a marked
increase in farm loans by commercial
banks and insurance companies. Farm
mortgages recorded by commercial banks
amounted to Sill, 100000, an increase of
26 per cent. over the preceding year;
insurance companies 100000, an in
crease of So per cent. Loans by indi-
viduals was second to the governments
advances, or $252,000O00.
Proof that private lenders are back in
the farm loan field under the impetus
supplied by the Government is shown in
the report covering May. Only 20 per
cent. of the loans recorded in the Omaha
district were made by FCA agencies in
that month, 80 per cent. in the Wichita,
and q per cent. in the st. Louis dis
tricts and in four districts as low as Is
per cent.

emerged today from the week
- long Olympic swimming cham
pionships with the unofficial mems
and women's team titles. as Italy,
German, Hungary and India won gold
medals in other events.
Japan reaped a harvest of "a points
in the last three events of the mems

ponese yielded the title won in 1882 at
Los Angeles to the United States, 83
points to II, because Of American
feats earlier in the week, particularly
by her divers, who contributed 36
points to the aggregate.
Marshall Wayne of Miami won the
l0-meter platform diving title, as
Ebert Root of Chicago took second;
Detsuo Hamuro of Japan captured
the 200-meter breast-stroke crown,
while another Nipponese, Noboru Te-
dara, won the 1,500-meter free-style
championship-the final event Of the

Although the American girls, also
due to their divers exploits, won the
team title, IS points to san for Hol-

I ENORE KIGHT WINGARD of
Homestead, Pa, swan a brave
race to place third in the 400 in
which both Miss Mastenbroek and
Miss Hveger lowered the Danish girls
new Olympic record of 528. Lap
after lap Mrs. Wingard stayed right
with them, even taking the lead briefly
at the halfway mark. At 300 meters
she was only foot back and still
very much in the race.
Gamely as she tried, though, she
couldn't quite hold her own with
them when they cut loose like comets
down the last stretch, Miss Masten-
brock winning in 5:26.4, as compared
with 5:275 for Miss Hveger. Mary
Lou Petty of Seattle finished close be-
hind her teammate, taking fourth.
Wayne gave a marvellous exhibition,
diving from high attitudes on an
empty stomach to complete American
domination in that department. He
admitted after his final dive, which
boosted his aggregate to 1883 points,
that he had been SO nervous all night
long he hadn't been able even to look
at his breakfast, but none would have
suspected his emotional state watch
Ing him perform.
His displayed about as much emo
ton as cigar store Indian as he
executed the hardest optional dives he
could think of fawlessly. He had to
choose difficult numbers because they
are the kind he needed to win against
brilliant opposition supplied by Root,
and the Germans, Hermann Stork
and Erhardt Weiss, who finished
third and fourth, respectively.

Hamuro in the 2o0-meter breast

completely to assuage their wounded

The flying Dutch girls climaxed
q remarkable string of victories in
speed events when the powerfully
built Miss Mastenbroek won the 400
meter free-style crown after a rous-
ing stretch duel with the wiry Danish
star, Ragnhild Hveger, giving her her
third gold medal Of the eleventh
Olympiad. Hideko Maehata's con-
quest in the 200-meter breakstroke
alone deprived them of clean sweep
in racing events and cost them a
team victory over America.

Dutch Girls Stamina Tells.

TO-DAY. as in every race she swan,
she gave away distance in the
early stages and then called upon her
tremendous speed and stamina to
break her rivals hearts with closing
rush.
The only girl to rival her spectacu-
lar performance during the week was
little snub-nosed Margie Gestring of
Los Angeles, who won the springboafd
diving championship at the tender age
of 13. and gave the United States 10
points that proved ultimately decisive.
Medica, winning the 400 and plac-
ing second to Terada in the unexciting
$500 final, proved the individual star
among hundreds of male competitors.
He never had a chance to beat the
steady l9-year-old Nipponese after he
permitted him to gain sizable lead
half way through the long grind
Although his fourth place added
three valuable points to the American
total, Johnny Higgins of Providence,
r. l., couldn't give the japanese and
the Germans much competition in the
final backstroke battle.
From start to finish the race be-
ionged to Hamuro, with only Sietas of
Germany making him jump in the
final 100 meters. Higgins had to pro-
duce strong rally in the closing
stages to finish as well as he did. Ha-
muro was clocked in 2:425, equaling
the new Olympic record he made in
the trials. The German was timed
In 2:42.9, and Higgins, 245.2.
