Cheering Students Clamor for Speech as Candidate Stops at Harvard Campus. BOSTON. Oct. 15 UP). With a day of vigorous campaigning on the debatable ground of Massachusetts be- hind him, Herbert Hoover turned tonight to the expression to industrial New England of his views on the tariff. Tremendous crowds, tumultous cheering and four speeches lay behind the Republican presidential candidate as he moved to the arena to deliver his principal speech of his New England swing over a nationwide hookup of radio stations. Prom the time that he arrived in Springfield until his final appearance at the arena, the nominee was the center of a cheering crowd, although at times during his drive from through the Boston suburbs to the common, boos and cheen for his Democratic opponent broke out in his wake. With few exceptions, however, these came from enthusiastic small boys and as he approached Cambridge they died away altogether and the applause for Hoover rose until It approached the proportions of an ovation at several places. The f!uge crowd that , i assembled on Boston common x velcDme him to the Hu city was one of the largest that he has ,a6en since his nomination. Cheering Students Clamor New-tonvll- le The four speeches made by the candidate at Springfield, at Worcester, on Boston common and at a luncheon at the Statler hotel carried a reminder to the Republicans of Massachusetts that every loyal member of the party would be needed in the forthcoming election and an appeal to the- independent thinking people "who regard the problems before us as we do" tor their support. Entering the state at Springfield, the nominee passed quickly from that place to Worcester, where he was welcomed by a cheering throng.

Hoover Accused of Playing Into Hands of Power Trust on Water Sites. By RAYMOND Z. HENLE. PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 15 UP). Using the words of Senator Norris of Nebraska, a Republican, to drive home his arguments. Senator Joe T. Robinson declared in a campaign address here tonight that a "Republican victory will mean the triumph of a monopoly which has expended millions in propaganda in an effort to obtain control" over the water power Sites of the country. Senator Robinson chose this state, which is rich In potential power production, to challenge the Republican policy on control of power sites and to charge Herbert Hoover with a vaccination In his declaration as to what the government's view should be with regard to their development and operation. "The success of the Democratic ticket." Senator Robinson declared, "means protection to the people against extortionate rates and unfair distribution pertaining to elec trical energy. It means conservation of the most valuable reserves remaining in public ownership. Conclusion Warranted Doe to Hoover's Plans. "The conclusion is warranted, since Mr. Hoover has declared his purpose to continue the Coolidge policies, that If the Republican party winsj this election the power monopoly will obtain control of such water sites and water powers as it desires, and the public will not only lose property to the value of billions of dollars, but also will be required for all time to pay extortionate prices for power and distributed by the generated trust.

As there Is a question on the cost of processing, construction of a Utah plant will not be started unUl results of the North Dakota plant have been determined, the witness added. The witness said he believed the smokeless fuel could be sold at the same price aa the raw coal, as the resulting from the could be sold for enough to pay I the expense of the carbonization. He figured that every ton of coal processed would yield from 8000 to cubic feet of gas. which could be sold for about 12' i cents per 1000 cubic feet.
