RALEIGH, Sept. 5.-Convention
headquarters of the North Carolina
Young Democratic clubs are very
gloomy these days despite the fact
that w. R. Rand has added a
flaming red, white and blue belt to
the patriotic Roosevelt" suspend
ers ne got recently.
The gloom comes from an un-
usual source. The Young Denis
have too much harmony, some
thing which political organizations
usually desire, but don't always
get.
In the current instance, however,
those who are charged with hand
ling arrangements for the Septem-
Der 12-13-14 sessions only want
sweet peace and concord after all
the delegates have checked in and
registered. A fight on the conven.
ton floor would be bad medicine;
but pre-convention prospects of a
knock down, drag out for the club
presidency, made for a bigger and
better crowd of Young Demos.
So Rand and his associates are
now bewailing the fact that Lee
Wilson pulled out of the race and
seems to have left the field almost
exclusively to young Ralph Gard
ner of Shelby.
In what seems a last-ditch effort
either to stir up advance interest
or as a real effort to stop Gard
ner"-Miss Jane Brown, of Green's
boro, said to have been a strong
Broughton worker during the late
gubernatorial primary, is being
pictured as willing to make a fight
against Gardner. From this angle
it looks very much like a complete
flop, whatever the motives behind
it. Nobody hereabouts has taken
the Brown rumor seriously.
Ouch! An officer of the. North
Carolina National Guard who will
soon be stationed with his COM
mand at Fort Jackson, South Caro-
lima, thought he would take time
by the forelock and get an apart
ment or house for himself and fam
lily for the year the Tar Heel troops
will be camped outside the Pal
metto capital.
He wrote a real estate agent, his
personal friend, about the matter,
and in reply learned that apart
ments and houses which have been
renting for $50 to $40 per month
are now at a premium at rentals
from $85 to 500.
A couple of Raleigh officers have
put their heads together, decided
to buy a lot near Columbia for
$500 and build their own duplex
house on it through an FILA loan.
They figure that if they stay as
much as three or four months, let
alone a year, they will break even
if they just move out and make no
to salvage anything from
their equity in the property.
Not many people r aware of it,
but the recent floods have given
Federal officials of the food and
drug division a tremendous job.
Just as an instance, in Surry
agents of the division have just Or
dered $40, 900 worth of food con
demned and destroyed; while the
press of inspection work has be
too great for the Feds to handle
with the available personnel. AS
result W. A. Queen, associate
state chemist on duty with the
state department of agriculture,
has just gone up to Marshall and
that part of the west to help out
the U. S. men, who called on Com
Kerr Scott to send them
all possible aid at the earliest pos
sible moment.

HOLLYWOOD-Bing Crosby had
a winner on his race track at Del
Mar the other night. 1t was a
picture, not a horse. Rhythm on
the River was previewed there
for all members of the press and
a few score notables who were
willing to travel three-quarters Of
the way to San Diego.
There were several added at.
fractions, and a special train from
Los Angeles. First came luncheon
in the patio of the elegant Turf
Club, and then the afternoons
races. Next, cocktails and a
broadcast, dinner, the picture, and
highballs on the north-bound

pari-mutuel tickets and my trans

next day, in a little red plane
jockeyed by Ed Churchill, the stu

While actually in the air, we
passed everything except Mary
Martin, who was whisked down
in one of Paul Mantz's charter
elopement ships. But with our
safety-dictated overnight stop,
and having to hangar the plane
in San Diego, and pausing four
hours on the way back to tinker
with a temperamental oil radiator,
we were IL hours slower than the
special train. However, the sea

which declared that Germany had
been forced to occupy the country
because of the allies efforts to
make Scandinavia theater of
war"
The pamphlets said, German
military forces, therefore, have taken
possession of the most important
military objectives in Denmark and
Norway. In this connection nego-
tiations now are going on between
the German and Danish govern
ments. e..
"These negotiations will insure that
the Danish kingdom continues, that
the Danish Army and Navy are re-
tanned and that the Danish people
will have full privileges to continue
to enjoy life with peace and Sc
curity.'
Until these negotiations are COM
pleted it is assumed that the Danish
Army and Navy will cooperate and
that the Danish people will show
good will and not indulge in active
or passive resistance.
"Such resistance will be broken
with all force. Military and COM
munal authorities must Immediately
place themselves in contact with the
German commanders. The public
is ordered to continue its daily work
in order to preserve peace and order.
The German Army now takes over

ter Of John Walker Babson, secre-
tary to Hannibal Hamlin, Vice Presi-
dent during Ltncoln's first admins
tration, died yesterday after a six
month illness at home, 1884 Belmont

Born in> Brooksville, Me-, Mrs.
French came with her parents to
Washington when she was 10 years
old. Here. in 1877, she married DR..
William B. French, physician, who
did pioneer meteorological work

Xandenherg Chances limmed.

the Republican National Convention
from the Midwest.
Vandenberg Chances Dimmed.
While the primaries have not by
any means eliminated Senator VAN
denberg as contender for the
presidential nomination, they have
dimmed his chances. Senator Taft
has not gone into any of the pri-
maries against Mr.. Dewey and it
does not appear likely that either
Senator Vandenberg or Senator Taft
will challenge Mr.. Dewey in the
primaries which are still to come
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, who campaigned for Sena-
tor Vandenberg, told reporters:
THE returns certainly do not de-
stroy his availability as candidate
1t may be that the convention will
have to pick compromise candi-
date, and it certainly is too early
to count Vandenberg out"
The stop Dewey" drive will take
the form of lining up as many dele
gates to the National Convention
as possible in States which do not
hold primary elections-most of
them do not-for Taft and Vanden-
berg. On the whole, the Republican
organization leaders are not favor
able to Mr.. Dewey. How far they
will ignore his vote-getting strength
remains to be seen.
On the Democratic side, only a
refusal of President Roosevelt to
run again can prevent his renomi-
nation.
Vote Not Binding.
The preference" votes in Illinois
and Nebraska are not binding on the
States delegations to the Republican
and Democratic national conven-
tions.
The preference vote in Illinois is
considered merely advisory" and in
Nebraska the delegates are morally
bound" but not legally. AS a rule
the Nebraska delegates have fol-
lowed the choice of the primary for
the presidential nomination for at
least two ballots.
The Democrats have nominated
Senator Slattery, who was appointed
by Gov. Horner to fill the seat made
vacant in the Senate last year by
the death of the late Senator Lewis.
They have nominated for Governor
Harry B. Hershey, who, like Senator
Slattery, was supported by the
Horner Kelly Nash organizations.
1t. Gov. Stelle, seeking the guber-
material domination on the in
surgent ticket, and Benjamin S.
Adamowski, Democratic leader of
the Legislature, seeking the sena-
torial nomination, were defeated.
Edward j. Barrett, candidate for
State auditor, was the only one of
the insurgent candidates who ap-
peared to have chance for victory
He held a slight lead over the organ
ization candidate.
Results Expected.
In Illinois the Republicans have
picked Dwight H. Green for Gov
ernor and c. Wayland Brooks for
Senator. Mr.. Green defeated Richard
j. Lyons for the gubernatorial
nomination, and Mr.. Brooks took the

Mission to Lepers Topic.
The morning session was opened
with a period of worship conducted
by the Rev. DR.. William S. Aber-

Church. Discussions were expected
to take up large part of the
session this afternoon at which DR..
Emory Ross was to speak on "A
Union Mission to Lepers."
A commission report on Evan

DR.. Frank T. Cartwright, chairman.
Following preliminary meetings

Economic Report

Reading and discussion of reports
dealing with economic, social and
religious status and needs in the
Philippines featured a meeting to-
day of the siX-day conference under
auspices of the Philippine Com
mittee of the Foreign Missions Con-
ference of North America, being
held in Calvary Baptist Church.
DR.. J. Leon Hooper, acting secre-
tary of the Presbyterian Board of
Foreign Missions, as chairman of a
commission, at this mornings meet
ing declared:
1T is evident that as the Philip
pine Commonwealth goes toward its
political independence, which is due
in 1916, there will be the necessity
of seeking it's independence from an
economic standpoint. This does not
mean that it will need to cease the
trade with the United States, but
it does mean that as things are now
set up it will need to find other mar
kets for some of its products.
Farmer Becoming Landless.
DR.. Hooper's report advocated
christian colonization" as part OF
the program in connection with
possible adjustments of the evan
gelical churches" in the islands. His
report, entitled Social and Eco
nomic Environment in the Philip
pine Church." went into statistics
of values of various commodities
exported and imported from the
islands as well as living conditions
there.
"Under the present system of ex-
orbitant rentals and harsh evictions
for non-payment of rent, the Fill
pino farmer is rapidly becoming
landless and is entering the ranks
of the wage Garner" the report con-
cluded.
The conference was to discuss the
report in detail before taking action
on 1t.
Earlier a commission report was
made by the Rev. Proculo Rodri-
guez, as chairman, on thei subject
of THE Task in the Light of Rura

Hull Warns Mexicans
Relations Depend on
Fair Payment for Oil
Settlement Of Claims
BY Arbitration Urged
In April ; Note

(Tert OF Hulps note on Page A-S)
Secretary Of State Hull has in
formed the Mexican government
that 1t must make fair payment for
oil and other properties taken from
American owners to place its rela-
tions with the. United States on a
sound basis of respect and helpful
ness"
This was disclosed with publica-
ton last night of the text of note
Mr.. Hull handed to Mexican Am
bassador Don Francisco Castillo
Najera April 3, proposing impartial
arbitration Of the two-year -old dis
pute over appropriation of Ameri-
can-owned oil lands by Mexico and
settlement of numerous older farm
land claims.
In unusually sharp language for
diplomatic communication be-
tween nominally friendly nations.
the note recited briefly how during
the past IS years "one American in
terest IN Mexico after another has
suffered at the hands of the Mex
ican government"
wholly Unjustifiable."
This treatment of American cit
liens, wholly unjustifiable under any
principle of equity or international
law, is a matter Of grave concern to
this Government" the note declared.
These long-standing matters must
OF necessity be adjusted if the re-
lations between our two countries
are to be conducted on a sound and
mutually cooperative basis of re-
spect and helpfulness.
"As an important step toward
placing relations between the two
countries on this basis, 1 suggest re-
sorting to the appropriate, fair and
honorable procedure of arbitration"
Specifically, Mr.. Hull suggested
that the oil controversy be settled by
an impartial tribunal with full au-
thority to- determine the amount OF
compensation to be paid the Amer
ican oil companies and enforce its
decision, and that the unadjudicated
general claims be submitted to an
umpire or to negotiation for an zen
bloc" settlement. The general claims
include damages for farm land ex-
preparations over the past 70 years
Rejection Indicated.
There has been no formal reply
from Mexico to the note, but press
dispatches have indicated the Mexi-
,an government would turn down the
arbitration proposal. A memoran-
dunn to Mr.. Hull from Ambassador
Najera on March Is said a sugges-
ton for arbitration OF the old con-
troversy would be premature"
The oil lands. with an estimated
value of $250,000, 0,000, were expro-
priated by the Mexican government
on March 18. 1898. Since then the
oil companies and Mexico have
failed to reach agreement on COM
pensation. and the dispute has been
carried INTO the Mexican courts.
Secretary Hull dismissed as not
"by any means reassuringr a sug.
gestion that decision of the Mexican
courts be awaited to determine the
amount of indemnity.
He made it clear that the United
States recognizes Mexico's right tc
expropriate private properties only
on condition that adequate and
prompt compensation is made. add
ing that Mexico has professed sup
port of this principle, but "unfortu-
nately" has not carried it into prac-
tice.

that unless President Roosevelt is
the Democratic nominee the Repub-
lcans will carry the State next No.
vember.
Vice President Garner's vote in
Illinois, with the party organization
entirely against him and without
any organization of his own, must
be regarded as purely protest vote
against the third term movement
for the President.
In considering the size of the
vote rolled up in Illinois for Presi-
dent Roosevelt as compared to that
cast in the Republican primary for
Mr.. Dewey, it should not be over
looked that approximately 10000
Republican voters in Chicago were
barred from the Republican primary
yesterday because in 1899 they
changed their party registration to
vote in primary against the re-
nomination of Mayor Kelly. Under
the law, they cannot change their
registration back to Republican until
next year.
Republican Vote Up.
The Illinois and Nebraska primary
elections emphasized again the
heavy demand which is being made
by Democrats on President Roose-
welt to run again.
At the same time the vote cast for
Vice President Garner, as was the
case in the Wisconsin primary,
showed that not inconsiderable
number of Democrats are opposed
to a third term for the President
Unless the later returns show a big
increase in the Roosevelt margin
over Mr.. Garner, the Vice President
will have received one for every six
votes cast for the President in the
Democratic primary.
This might not give the third
term boomers concern were it un-
accompanied by the fact that the
vote in the Republican presidential
preferential primary has greatly in
creased over that vote in 1896.
President Roosevelt's vote in the
Illinois preferential primary foul
years ago was nearly 100000 in ex-
cess of the combined vote cast fol
the two Republican candidates, Col
Frank Knox, Chicago publisher, ano
the late Senator William E. Borat
of Idaho. The Roosevelt vote was
1929 900. The President carried II.
