LEHl UTAH seeseeaaaaaai mm t News Review of Current Events the World Over Hoover to Stand on Platform Calling for Modification of 18th Amendment Would Let States Decide for Themselves. By EDWARD W. PICKARD 1 wC ... Atmy . President Hoover adopted LET each state decide for Itself j whether It will be wet or dry. That, briefly, Is the prohibition ! plank adopted by the Republican national c o n ? e n- tion In Chicago. It was dictated by President Hoover, and the administration administra-tion forces, In complete com-plete control of the convention, , put it over after one of the moat uproarious sessions In twenty years of Republican Republic-an conventions. The plank Is not pleasing to the very wet Republicans and Is completely obnoxious to the dry ones. Under the Republican plan congress will at all times be In general control of liquor law enforcement en-forcement In those states that elect to remain dry. Also, congress will control the manufacture, sale and distribution of liquor within the borders of the wet states. With the platform out of the way the convention proceeded to do what bad been whispered In some quarters they might do. They re-Dominated re-Dominated Herbert Hoover for President and Charles C. Curtis for Vice President The debate on the prohibition plank was the only thing that saved this convention from being a complete com-plete flop as far as thrills and excitement ex-citement are concerned. In all other respects It was about as tame as a town meeting, the selection of standard hearers being a foregone fore-gone conclusion. James R. Oar-field, Oar-field, chairman of the resolutions committee, led the fight for the Hoover plank, while Senator Bingham Bing-ham and Nicholas Murray P.titler headed the forces demanding a plank Insisting on the repeal of the Eighteenth amendment. Senator RInghara's plank was de-feated de-feated by a vote of 681 to 472. An analysis of the vote shows that the Republicans In the south swung the balance against the northern, eastern east-ern and middle western states which furnish the bulk of the electoral elec-toral votes for the election of Re publican Presidents. The Hoover plank as reads In part as follows: "We do not favor a submission limited to the Issue of retention or repeal. For the American nation never In Its history has gone backward, back-ward, and In this case the progress which has been thus far made must be preserved, while the evils must be eliminated. "We, therefore, believe that the people should have an opportunity te pass opon a proposed amendment amend-ment the provision of which, while retaining' the federal government power to preserve the gains already made in dealing with the evils Inherent In-herent In the liquor traffic, shall allow al-low states to deal with the problem as their citizens may determine, but subject always to the power of the federal government to protect thost states where prohibition may exist and safeguard our citizens everywhere from the return of the saloon and its attendant abuses. "Such an amendment should be promptly submitted to the states by congress, to be acted upon by state conventions called for that sole purpose in accordance with the provisions of Article V of the Constitution, Con-stitution, and adequately safeguarded safeguard-ed so as to be truly representative." The entire platform, as submitter submit-ter by the resolutions committee, was adopted by a ylva voce vote. Some of the high lights follow: Approval given an emergency relief fund for loans to states in need. No direct federal relief to Individuals. Shorter work week, shorter work day, legislation to stimulate stim-ulate home building, continuance continu-ance of restricted immigration. immigra-tion. Prompt and drastic reduction of public expenditure urged. Further aid pledged through federal farm board, protective protec-tive tariff duties, assistance assist-ance to solve problems of controlling production. Full protection to incapacitated incapacitat-ed veterans pledged. Cash payment of bonus not mentioned. men-tioned. Favor extension of tariff protection pro-tection to natural resource Industries. Committed to maintenance of navy on basis of parity with any nation. Orpo to further fur-ther army personnel reduction. reduc-tion. American entry Into league court favored. Settlement of International difficulties without with-out "alliances or foreign partnership' pledged. Rigid laws favored to stamp tit activities of gangsters, racketeers and kidnapers. Relentless warfare pledged against narcotic traffic. Need cited for revision of banking bank-ing laws on sounder basis. Retention of gold standard pledged. Participation In In ternational conferences on monetary questions. Existing status of government in Hawaii should be maintained. main-tained. President's "constructive program" pro-gram" lauded as an attack on the depression with "far-reaching objectives, but entailing no danger to the budget." Republican control of the federal fed-eral government will "Insure the orderly recovery of the country," WHILE the Republicans were busy in Chicago, the Democrats Demo-crats made small progress in settling set-tling their pre-conventlon squabbles. squab-bles. One development was the rumor, originating In Chicago, that Melvin A. Traylor, the banker who Is one of the dark horse possibilities possibili-ties for the Presidential nomination, nomina-tion, might be put on the Roosevelt ticket in second place) It was said the New York governor would welcome wel-come this move. The Traylor campaign cam-paign managers seemed to think the better ticket would be "Traylor and Roosevelt." Support of the nominee, whoever he may be, was pledged by leaders of the party In a united (appeal for completion of the party's $1,500,000 victory fund before the opening of the national convention on June 27. The message to the rank and file was signed by Alfred E. Smith, Gov. Franklin Roosevelt, Jouctt Souse, Owen D. Young, Newton D. Bnker, former Gov. James M. Cox, John W. Davis, and 64 other leaders. TRAGEDY stepped in to halt the debate of Representative Wright I'atman's soldier bonus bill when Representative E. Esllck (Dem., Tenn.) dropped dead on the floor of the house while making an impassioned impas-sioned plea for the Immediate payment of the $2,400.00O;0O0 bonus. Shocked by the dramatic turn of events, the house adourned. Immediately Immedi-ately as a mark of respect Mr. Esllck had about half com pleted a ten-minute speech In behalf of the bonus. Picturing Pic-turing the World war army as "the flower of the country's manhood," he waved aside questions of finance and said: "Mr. Speaker, I want to divert from the sordid" He never finished the sentence. As he collapsed, he clutched at a table and partially broke his fall Dr. George W. Calver, Capitol physician, phy-sician, said be had died before he struck the floor. Mrs. Eslick was In the members' gallery at the time. Tragedy added to futility Is the history of this bonus bllL Hours of debate, largely for home consumption, consump-tion, wasted on the measure that was foredoomed before it was presented. pre-sented. Though It passed the house by a vote of 211 to 176, there was no possible chance that the senate would pass It, and President Hoover Hoo-ver had announced that he would veto it if It should be passed. f4 ' Wright Pat-man yet: President Machado ... ;' CRANZ VON PAPEN, Germany's " new aristocratic chancellor, held several conferences with the pre mlers of the states and the Germs Ger-ms n agricultural council and succeeded suc-ceeded In part in allaying their fears that his government Intended eventually to overthrow the republic. He assured as-sured them solemnly solemn-ly that bis rule would be "based entirely on the constitution con-stitution of the reich," and denied that his cabinet was unsocial or reactionary. reac-tionary. The dissolution of the reichstag and the calling of elec-tiona elec-tiona were thought necessary, he said, to a new unified expression of the national will, and it was his belief be-lief "that a new parliament will mora readily produce a clear-cut majority for a policy of spiritual and ethical rehabilitation and an economic orientation that shall rest on Christian, national and social foundations." VlITHOUT debate the senate adopted a resolution presented by Senator Joe T. Robinson, Democratic Demo-cratic floor leader, calling on the President to specify how and where additional savings wer to be accomplished. The resolutlor. was Introduced In answei to President Hoover's demand that congress save $150,000,000 to $200,000,000 more. In some quarters the prediction was made that the need for additional addi-tional budget balancing funds wll serve to revive the sales tax, notwithstanding not-withstanding the fact that the billion bil-lion dollar tax bill already has been enacted into law. The conference committee, still wrestling with the economy bill, has come to a virtual agreement on the plan for enforced furloughs for federal fed-eral employees. Instead of the 10 per cent pay cut plan. STANISLAUS FELIX HAUSNER, the aviator, who attempted a flight from New York to Poland, was rescued by the steamship Cir cle Shell after drifting eight days on the Atlantic on his wrecked airplane. Hausner was completely exhausted when rescued and literally lit-erally fell into the lifeboat that was lowered to pick him up. The captain of the ship reported by radio that nausner had received only minor Injuries and was progressing prog-ressing satisfactorily. FOLLOWING the abortive attempt at-tempt of three young Cubans to assassinate President Machado by throwing a bomb at him, the police of the Island re public made a series se-ries of raids on the homes of prominent prom-inent persons and asserted they , had ancovered three separate plots against Machado's life. Nearly a nun dred leading citizens citi-zens of Havana were put In prison, pris-on, and arms and explosives were seized. Capt. Mi guel Calvo, chief of the police expert ex-pert bureau, said: "Cubans hav turned to terrorism in a desperate effort to oust President Machado dead or alive. I am convinced that Havana's leading men and women have gone crazy. The revelations are astounding and most disappointing disap-pointing for the future of Cuba and the Cubans." The "society terrorists'' belong to the ABC organization which sought to overthrow the government on May 20, independence day, but were foiled by the discovery of their plot Police say that other government govern-ment leaders besides Machado are "marked for death." CARLOS DAVILA apparently was not sufficiently radical In his policies toward foreign Interests In Chill, so he was forced by the military mili-tary and socialistic Junta to resign as provisional president CoL Mar-maduke Mar-maduke Grove, who had a great deal to do with the ousting of Pres ident Montero, remained in control, but there were rumors that an army group was plotting to bring ex-President Carlos Ibanez back from exile and form a new Junta with Davlla's aid. Capt Alejandro Lazo, an Intimate associate of Da-vila Da-vila and of Ibanez, was arrested. Extremist sentiment against Davlla's Da-vlla's continuance In the Junta arose as a result or attacks against him by the leftist newspaper Opinion, which has led efforts of certain elements ele-ments In northern Chile to force dissolution of the $375,000,000 Co-sach Co-sach organization.

C, en-Joyed en-Joyed an animation It had not experienced experi-enced for a century. The occasion was the unveiling of a monument In commemoration com-memoration of Joseph Hewes, "a godfather god-father of the American navy." Charles Francis Adams, secretary of the navy, was the principal Bpeaker. Hewes was born at Princeton, N. J., 220 years ago. In 1760 he moved the headquarters of his shipping business to Edenton. The town has changed little since that time. In the Revolutionary era It was said that, "within the vicinity vicin-ity of Edenton there was-in proportion to Its population a greater number of men eminent for ability, virtue and erudition eru-dition than In any other part of America." Amer-ica." Their spirit seems to haunt the place. The whole neighborhood is In effect a monument to the glorious mem ories of the Eden patriots of 1776. The Hewes monument Is of white marble, designed In the Georgian tradition. The concept of the architects, Eobert Perry Bodgers and Alfred Al-fred Easton Poor, Is In tune with the time at which they say the memorial memo-rial should have been set up 150 years ago. On the front face a frigate has been carved Instead of the conventional coat of arms usual In the Eighteenth century. . Joseph Hewes was a well-to-do ship owner. He was sent to the Continental Con-tinental congress as a delegate from North Carolina. Because of his great knowledge and experience in maritime matters, he was chosen secretary of the marine committee and was the guiding spirit In developing de-veloping its original fleet of thirteen shlpi. Hewes had among his friends John Paul Jones, and It was to him that Jones applied for a commission In the Revolutionary service. Jones never failed to testify to his gratitude to Hewes, and throughout his career managed to maintain an epistolatory correspondence with the committee secretary, who was his "political angel." Hewes died at Philadelphia November 10, 1779, Just before the arrival ar-rival of the news of Jones' victory over the Serapls. His importance to the cause of Independence Is summarized In a phrase written to him by Jones: "You more than any other person have labored to place the Instruments of success in my hands." . Hewes' name appears among the signers of the Declaration of Independence. In-dependence. Like Washington and Carroll, he staked a fortune as well as his life when he signed.

State Senator E. L. Richards of New Jersey attacked the administration of Governor Moore as responsible for blunders In the case and said a legislative Investigation was "virtually certain." cer-tain." In London a member of the house of commons brought up the matter by asking the foreign office If the government had its attention called to the suicide of Miss Sharpe and If It would make representations representa-tions to the Washington government suggesting an Inquiry as to what re sponslbllity the police had for the gtrl'a death.
