has some political angles that are al
ready reacting to the benefit OF Cou-
sin Charles Johnson.
Four Prospective Candidates
At the present time there are four
notential candidates for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor in 1910
it is generally agreed here. They are
as follows: State Treasurer Charles
M. Johnson; j. M. Broughton, re-
garded as the "heir apparent" or
"rnachine" candidate; Willis Smith,
former speaker of the House and be-
lieved likely to run on middle-ot-the
road liberal platform; and State Audi
tor George Ross Pou. There is as yet
no indication as to who will be the
candidate of the Mcdonald liberals
although they will undoubtedly bring
out a candidate eventually.
AS all those who know anything
about North Carolina politics know,
the State Highway and Public Works
Commission, together with the prison
division, is the most politically potent

New York, Aug. 2 (AP)-Except for
a handful of favorites, stocks did lit
tie more than loaf in today's market.
The tendency was mildly upward al
the start. Early gains of fractions to
a point or so were later reduced or
cancelled in many instances. Near the
fourth hour prices were mixed. Wall
Street seemingly had eyes principally
for Congress and much discussion was
heard regarding chances of quick ad-
journment. No great amount of sell
ing followed passage of the wage-hour
bill by the Senate, although this deve-
lopment was far from encouraging to
the financial sector.
Earnings continued to provide mod
est stimulation for individual issues.
Bonds and commodities, uneven at
the best, furnished no clue for the

evidence at the finish.

in $1,000 Bond for Grand
Jury Action.

Waving preliminary hearing, Frank
lin J. Moore, Al, w. P A. worker who

ordered held for the grand jury under
$1,000 bond when arraigned on a

Moore and his Washington wife,
Lucille, 26, figured in the news early
in January when they were arrested
for alleged neglect of their 8-month-
old son, whom they left locked in their
car while they went to a movie. The
child was said to have been blue with
cold" when noticed by a passerby.
Police took the baby to a hospital.
Later the charge against the Moores
was dismissed and the child restored
to them. They said they had no one
to leave the baby with and did not
think he would be uncomfortable in
the car
1t was an investigation launched by
the Juvenile Court to determine the
fitness Of the couple to keep the child
which led to the charge of bigamy
against Moore, according to Policeman
Allen B. Baker, who made the arrest.
Records allegedly found through the
United States attorneys Office, to
which Baker is attached showed, it
was said, that Baker married Ina l..
Moore in Detroit on September 80,
1926, and nine years later to the day
married his present wife.
Mrs. Ina Moore was reported to
have arrived here, on summons of the
United States attorney, to testify be-
fore the grand jury. A bigamy charge
was entered against Moore at police
headquarters pending action by the
grand jury.

MRS. HARTIG FINED
ON DRUNK CHARGE
Well-Known Golfer Must Pay
500 for Driving While
Intoxicated.

Mrs. Jeanette Hartig, well-known
golfer, was fined 500 today by Police
Court Judge Walter j. Casey on
charge of driving while intoxicated.
Another charge against her, that of
leaving the scene of an accident, has
been dropped, it is understood.
Mrs Hartig's operators permit al
ready had been suspended by the
Board of Revocation and Restoration
Of the Traffic Department. Usually,
the board takes no action until after
trial in court, but it has authority to
suspend permits on its own initiative.
John R. Daily, counsel for the de-
fendant, told the court Mrs Hartig
had been i'll prior to the incident last
Sunday which resulted in her arrest
She was alleged to have struck six
parked cars on Thirteenth street be-
tween Emerson and Jefferson streets.
Daily said she had made complete
restitution for the damages caused.

2 U. S. DIPLOMATS
SPLIT ON NAZI BID
Dodd Wants Invitation to Party
Farley Rejected-Aide
Would Accept.

BY the Associated PreSS.
Two high-ranking American diplo-
mats accredited to Germany ap-
parently have split on the question
whether the United States should be
represented at the forthcoming Nazi
Party Congress at Nuremberg.
Well informed persons reported yes
terday that Ambassador William E
Dodd, now in this country, has criti-
cized the plans of Prentiss Gilbert
Charge d'Afaires in Berlin, to at
tend the Nuremberg gathering with
other foreign diplomatic represen-
tatives.
Dodd voiced his criticism to Secre-
tary Hull, it was said.
State Department officials declined
comment. They did say, however,
that the United States has not been
represented in previous years.
Hull recently received a request
from Representative Celler, Democrat,
of New York that Gilbert be instructed
not to appear at the Nazi gathering.
Heretofore" Celler said in tele-
gram to the Secretary of State, such
invitations to q purely political party
convention have been firmly yet po-
litely refused by us, England and
France. At such a congress, repub-
lies and all forms of democratic gov
ernment are excoriated and the Nazi
form of government extolled.
Acceptance brands us as imbe-
Giles"
Celler said invitations previously
had come from the chief of the Ma
tional Socialist party and should not
be accepted this year simply because
they were issued personally by
Fuehrer Hitler.
The congress Is scheduled to begin
September 10.

FLOOD AID SOUGHT.
Northeast Boundary Citi-
zens' Head Issues Appeal
for Public Support.

Howard o. Woodson, president of
the Northeast Boundary Citizens AS
sociation, issued an appeal today for
public support in efforts to secure
flood relief for the valley of Watts
Run, swept on August Is by what
he described as the worst flood on
record for that area.
The valley was shambles after
the food" Woodson said. Many
lost their earthly belongings, and one
life was lost. The water was to S
feet deep on Deane avenue, and all
traffic was stopped. Over the low
lands the water was to feet deep
This catastrophe is repeated each
high water, and yet we have been
appealing in vain for flood relief for
the last Is years. Maj. John Gott-
walls, when Engineer Commissioner,
had studies made of this problem by
the office of the sanitary engineer,
who has made surveys, maps, draw
ings and estimate of cost. Secretary
Ickes offered to provide P. W. A.
money for flood relief if the District
Commissioners would request it.
Notwithstanding the fact that our
petition has been renewed several
times each year, we are unable to win
the support of the Commissioners"
Woodson, who termed the deposit
of slime left by the last food a
menace to health, said the problem
consists of Strengthening, widening,
deepening and paving the invert Of
Watts Run. This stream extends 3
miles from the Anacostia River to
Seat Pleasant and Capital Heights

But here there is no lashing Of the

stretches, without murmur or stirring,
beyond the farthest universes spiralling
like pinwheels few billion light years

Our souls are prisoners of the day.
Windowless walls of sunlight wall us
in the low-domed cell of earth, who
else were free to roam the star -decked
fields of space. At night in the dark
and the silence the door is opened and
We may look into the freedom of the

On the Arlington hillside the olive
drab clad sentry marches back and
forth at attention before the white

Below is the sleeping city, the tide

All around are the white tomb
stones of the Nations warrior dead.
Here are graves Of men whose names
once were household words.
Only the sentry is awake. He walks

sound in the city of the dead. The
silence Is perfused with the sense Of
old, unhappy. far-off things.
The sentry guards Americas altar.
