well failed to function because of
a large break in the cylinder. AL
most all of the water used in town

Rome, Sept. 2.-(AP)-The govern

atoms of science, arts and letters"
The decree, announced after meet
ing of the Italian cabinet, imposed the
first restrictions on the participation
of Jews in the life of the nation since
the expulsion ordered yesterday OF
foreign Jews coming to Italy since
1919.
Today's decree applies to both teach
ers and students. Jewish graduates of
secondary schools may continue stu
dies in universities Gin a transitory
manner" the decree said. That was
the only exception. The enrolment
of Jewish students in any grale OF
an educational institution recognized
by the state was otherwise forbidden.
The curtailment of cultural activi-
ties of Jews was anticipated in furth-
er restrictions, which, the decree indi-

es MIR. Roosevelt

Washington, Sept 2.-(AP)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt told reporters today
he would have not the slightest OBJ
lection to the election of liberal run
ming on the Republican ticket. He said
the American people were beginning
to think more in terms of principles
than in personalities.
Asked whether he knew of any Re-
publican liberals who were running
for office, the President told his press
conference there were several. He au-
thorized this direct question:
eff there is good liberal running
on the Republican ticket, 1 would not
have the slightest objection to his
election. The good of the country
rises above party. 1t is an absolutely
unjustified assumption which is be-
ing made by Detroit papers, that a
failure to go to dedicate the inter-
national bridge at Port Huron mich
igan) is in any way connected with
the Michigan campaign. 1t is a deli
berate distortion of the fact and the
Detroit papers might as we'll get that"
A special commission told the Pre-
sident, meanwhile, that British indus
Try and labor maintained industrial
peace through mutual confidence and
cooperation. The commission. which
made first hand study of labor re-
lations in England, offered no recon-
mendations. 1t said, however, that
where collective bargaining agree
ments mutually satisfactory to ma
tional unions and national employers
associations had existed for a long
period, strikes had been few and
strike violence rare.
Mr.. Roosevelt, making the report
public just before Labor Day, COM
mented:

with restraint, which is shown by
those who represent both employers

of w. o. Burgin's victory in the

a moral supremacy over Davidson.
Burgin desired an opportunity to go
into the courts and show that for each
irregularity which worked to Burgin's
advantage in Davidson one or more
