Mr. Roosevelt ruled that the mayor might present any witnesses or evidence that would contribute to the governor's examination of the case. He did not require the proof of Mr. Walkers guilt to be shown by witnesses, but he did go at once Into a of the mayor himself. Mayor Walkers answers followed closely his previous defense as given In his formal answer to the Seabury charges and In his testimony before the legislative committee. He admitted taking the $26,000 gift from J. A. Slsto, banker Interested In taxicab legislation, but denied he had given of his Influence as mayor to obtain the legislation. Answering the charge that he owned securities In a company doing business with the city, In violation of a state law, Walker asserted he knew nothing about Its connection with city contracts. In succeeding sessions of the henring he continued along the same line, denying all charges of misconduct and defending the acts on which those charges were based. on the defensive JAPAN, continually her course In Manchuria and extremely sensitive to criticism, whether direct or Implied, has been aroused to great Indignation by Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD PRESIDENT HOOVER opened the for his his acceptance speech, and told the nation that. In regard to the liquor he stood question, not exactly on the Republican platform but a considerable Btep ahead of It. He the adnalnlstra- . , , tlons efforts to en- force national prohiI ; bition had been of no the avail 'because amendEighteenth ment Itself was a failure except In states where the majority sentiment was actually dry. He declared 'he could not consent either to restoration of the suloon or to the continuance of such grave abuses as the speakeasy and the bootlegger which flourish under the amendment. Therefore, he proposed such modification of the prohibition amendment as would return liquor control to the states under federal control that would guarantee the dry states federal aid In keeping out liquor and prevent the restoration of the saloon In the wet states. In substance the position taken by Mr. Hoover on this prohibition problem Is very close to that of Alfred El It was warmly InSmith In 1923. dorsed by the Republican senators who consented to talk about It, even by such veteran drys as Fess and The Republican press genBorah. erally commended It, and Democratic newspapers praised the President for bravery greater than that of . his party platform. The Presidents address of course covered practically all the subjects that appear In the Republican platform and was written with skill. In It he reiterated his stand for freedom In Industry and commerce 'as opposed to radical and revolutionary proposals, for a protective tariff, for noncancellation of foreign debts, and pledged himself to work for restoration of prosperity. took The notification ' ceremony place In Constitution hall and tl.ie speech was heard by 4,000 persons gathered there and by countless millions who listened In by rudlo. The affair was preceded by a garden par--t-y and buffet luncheon on the White House grounds, to which 700 men and Former women had been Invited. President Calvin Coolldge was riot' there because, ns he snld, he feared the trip would aggravate the hay fever from which he was suffering.. serted that : treaty Stimson outlawing war and that a definite pact providing for such consultation Is unnecessary. As an example, the secretary of state referred to the American protest to Japan against hostilities In China. Such a protest would have had far less weight, be pointed out, bad it not been supported by the entire group of civilized nations. JLatei' In his address' Mr. "Stimson ' said; the only limitation tp the broad covenant against war Is the This right Is so right of inherent and universal that. It was deemed unnecessary even to Insert It expressly In the treaty, it exists In the case of the Individual onder domestic law, .as well as Id. the case of the nation and Its citizens undec the law pt nations. Its limits have been clearly defined by countless precedents. A nation which sought to mask Imperialistic policy under' the guise of the defense of Its nationals would soon be unmasked. It coujd not long hope to confuse or mislead public opinion on' a .subject so well understood or In .a world In which facts eaa he' so easily ascertained a'nd appraised as they can be under the Journalistic conditions of ' today." . The Japanese foreign office tookMr.' Stlmson's-remarkas an attack, on Japan's acts In Manchuria- and cabled the emhassy In Washington, for a detailed report of the speech.
