of the non-partisan victory in Tues-
day's primary and the result of Ihe
republican contest for nomination for

was niaue today by Governor Cool-
iU«e, the republican vice presidential
cai^uidaie.
i'lie governor, addressing the re-
puuiicau state convention, said the

"let," he said, "after receiving a
baptism ot idealism at the Wnite
House, lie attempted for a time the
roie or an idealist. He was to be the
apostle of the 'great and solemn refer-
eiidum.' His address of acceptance
started that way,
"liut the success has not been
marked. Soon the methods of ward
pontics prevailed. To that eminent
valetudinarian in the White House, a
master of logical expression, correct
of style, always diguuied, as he has
beheiu his exponent resorting to
coarser and coarser methous, wilder
and wilder charges, the reterendum
ntusi tor him become solemn ana
tnore solemn."
'i'tie democratic administration for
the last year waj termed by Gov-
ernor Coolidge a "chapter of acci-
dents" and a "mirage of false hopes

Xioes Up Suction;
Farmer Loses Out
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Paris, Tex., Sept. 1£.—A peculiar
accident at a gin near Enloe today
cost a young farmer ^ nearly all the
money he received for the first cotton
he sold this year.
' ^ Going to the bank, he cashed his
check, which amounted to about $200,
and instead of depositing it, he placed
it in his'pocket.
He then went to the gin with the
bills safely tucked away as he thought
and climbed into his wagon. When
he leaned over, the suction fan took
the money from his poc^cet and by the
time he was able to get the gin stop-
ped the saws had so badly cut up the
ro|l of bills that only about $30 was
recovered in such shape that it was
possible to send it to the treasury for
redemption.

GOOD JOB—DECLARES JANE
ADDAMS RIGHT STUFF.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 18.-—
Governor Cox, in an adresa here to-
day before a luncheon of business
men, referred to Herbert Hoover as
the type of trained mind he wolild
like to have In his cabinet If elected.
. The democratic candidate rested
this morning, made two luncheon
speeches, made a brief talk at a re-
ception in his honor, and then left
for Oakland to visit wounded sol-
diers and to make a formal address
tonight.
"Mr. Hoover's effective service in
the war was largely due to his
thorough training as an engineer," he
said ,"and If I can induce him, one
of tho best engineers in the country
will sit in my cabinet."
The governor r^rro favored in this
speech the abolishing of the excess
profit tax and the substitution for it
of a tax of one or one and one-half
per cfnt on the volume of business of
a firm. '
At a luncV-.rwn by the San Francisco
Center, a woman's organization, he
declared that the country would have
had a much better idea of conditions
in Russia if a group of women of the
character of Jane Addams or the
heads of American educational in-
stitution should have been included
in tlio Root mission tor Russia.
A rotating fund by which the pres-
ident would buy up an entire sugar
crop or-in any other way meet a food
crisis when congress was not in ses-
sion was proposed In both of his
talks. He said the government should
have inventories of all food supplies
to forestall alarm over the possibili-
ties of food shortages.

Keep a Close Watch on Bankers.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
New York, Sept. 18.—Edward P.
Fischer, detained in Hamilton, Ont., in
connection with the investigation of
tho Wall street explosion, warned fel-
low tennis players as much as two
weeks ago to "take a tip" and get
their'money out of the banks, because
"something is going to happen," ac-
cording to a statement today by J. P.
Allen, a tennis expert, who frequently
played with Fischer, himself a city
champion.
Fischer, according to the statement,
entered the West Side Tennis club
hpre during the recent tournament
and with no attempt at secrecy asked
Allen if he had any money deposited
in a bank. Answering in the affirma-
tive, he told Allen to draw i. out "and
to have the cash where you can get it
when you want it." •
This warning was given about
August 31, according to Allen. Allen
said he pkid no attention to Fischer,
who, Allen declared, had a reputation
for volubility.
White Plains, N. Y., Sept. 18.—Dr.
William l>. Russell, medical superin-
tendent of Bloomingdale hospital,
said today that Edward P. Fischer,
who is being held In connection with
the New York bomb explosion, had
been confined in the hospital In 190&
for eighteen 'months and again In
1816 for approximately the same
length of time. On each occasion,
Dr. Russell said, he had been com-
mitted at the request of his sister.
Dr. Russell said the records showed
Fischer was suffering from "mania
depressive psychosis," was at times
violent ^and that he used strong lan-
guage.
J. It. De la Torre Bueno of White
Plains said today that he had attend-
ed" Columbia university with Fischer
in 1886.
Two weeks ago. he said, he met
Fischer who declared there would
soon be .uprisings in New York and
elsewhere. Bueno described Fischer
as a plain "nut.'>
New York, Sept. 18.—Psychic
knowledge of impending disaster is as
feasible as though it were "picked tip
by a radio operator," according to Dr.
Walter F. Prince, acting director of
the American institute of scientific
research.
Dr. Prince declared (hat the asserJ
tion of Edward P. Fischer, detained'
at Hamilton, Ont., that his post card
warnings to friends here of the Wall
street explosion last Thursday were
inspired by "psychic phenomena"
were highly "within the realm of
possibility," he said the mind of
Fischer, whose brother-in-law, Robert
A. Pope, declared he possessed psychic
powers evidently was "tuned" to those
who plotted the explosion, receiving
telepathic impressions of the tragedy
that later occurred."

Hamilton, Ont., Sept. 18.—A legal
fight loomed today over extradition
of Edward Fischer, detained here in
connection with warnings he issued
concerning the New York explosion.
Counsel for Fischer, former tennis
star, insist that, having been adjudged
insane by the Hamilton lunacy com-
mission, after his arrest here yester-
day, he cannot be removed from
Canada. United States tecret service
men here claim that some years ago
Fischer was detained in an asylum
In the United States and that this
paves the way for his immediate de-
portation from Canada.
The local police this morning re-
ceived a telegram that a New York
detective was en route here.
R. A. Pope, Fischer s brother-in-
law, who informed the police where
the tennis man could bo found, left
for New York last night. Pope, a
landscape gardener with offices In
New York, said he was going there
because relatives telephoned they
were being "worried to death by
police and reporters."
Chicago. 111., Sept. 18.—Radicals
follow the movements of International
bankers so closely that the) are able
to tell at any time the whereabouts
of every well known financier, Chris
Sloier, head of the police anarchist
squad, announced today following a
raid In which a copy of "The Anarch-
ists Soviet," published in New York,
was found.
The headline of the paper, dated
June 18. 1920, read: "Latnont In
Paris, Morgan in London, Vanderlip
in Toklo, Kahn in Berlin, Schlff in
Amsterdam."
The paper was taken In a raid on
I. W. W. headquarters on the West
Side a few days prior to the New York
bomb explosion.
"This only shows the minute In-
vestigations which are conducted by
these radical leaders," Mr. Sloler said.
"They can tell you at almost any hoar
of the day where any prominent
banker, or »o-c»iHed capitalist, is
located." .
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Nfw York, Sept; 18.—Alexander J.
Brallovsky, a Russian Journalist, whp
was taken into custody late this eve-
ning, after the police had received an
anonymous letter saying that he was
"seen in the financial district a short
time after the' Wall street explosion
Thursday afternoon, was formally
placed under arrest Just before mid-
night on a charge of being an unde-
sirable alien. He will be turned over
to department of justice agents, the
police said, while a check Is being
made on his movements.
Brailovsky was seized in a small
stationery store on East Seventh
street, in the rear of which is a print-
ing shop where the "Russky Golos"
(Russian Voice) described by the au-
thorities as a radical Russian maga-
zine, is published.
Anonymous Letter Received.
The writer of the anonymous letter
informed the police that he saw
Brallovsky and three other men talk-
ing at the corner of Pine and Nassau
streets, near the scene of the explo-
sion, about 20 minutes after the ex-
plosion took place. The writer de-
clared the three men seemed to be In
a Jubilant mood.
Brallovsky, the police said, admitted
being at the place mentioned, but
placed his presence there an hour lat-
er than the letter charged. He denied
all knowledge of the explosion. He
explained his presence In fh« financial
district by stating that he wished to
dispose of some Jewelry boxes there.
Brailovsky further admitted, the
police said, that he talked to three
men there. He said he knew only one
of them, but the man whom he knew
was acquainted with the other two.
Very Reticent at First.
At first he refused absolutely, the
police declared, to divulge the name
of his companions.
"My race," he is quoted as saying,
"never divulges the name of another
person without that person's consent
and so I cannot enlighten you."
Brailovsky, who is 36 years old,
and small in stature, was well dressed,
his voice, manner and expression giv-
ing the impression he was a man of
education. /
Ho told the police, they said, that
he was the editor of the "Russky
Golos." He explained that in his
conversation with the three men the
question of soliciting a loan for the
purpose of constructing a Russian
people's theatre was discussed.
Chief Flynn Confident.
"We had solved the mysteries of
last year's bombs, but were frustrated
in bringing the criminals to justice
when Alfredo Salesedo whom we were
detaining In the New York office of
the bureau, Jumped from a fourteenth
story window during the night and
committed suicide," said Chief Flynn
today. "That tipped our hand and
the crowd, got safely out of the coun-
try before we could nab them.
"Now In this case we have much
more to work on at the start. The
similarity of the circulars makes
available all our knowledge of the
gang who committed the outrages last
year. Most of this information has
never been made public and It would
not be wise to reveal It now. Wo
even established the identity of one
anarchist who was killed by his own
bomb In last year's explosion, with
much less evidence than we have in
the present case.
Small Clew Last Tear.
"Torn bits of pink paper were the
only evidence we had last year. Now
we have whole circulars dropped into
a mall box, presumably by the man
who set off the bomb, half an hour
after a letter carrier had emptied the
box. In addition, there Are the horse
and the broken bits of the wagon on
which the bomb was placed."
Detectives and witnesses continued
today to crowd police headquarters
where Capt. John Coughlin, acting
inspector in charge of the bureau of
detectives was still seeking to estab-
lish the identity of the "death wagon."
Getting Line on Horse.
Apparently more progress was be-
ing made from examinations of the
horse than the wagon. The horse, a
strawberry roan of less than fifteen
hands—had been newly shod behind,
but had old shoes on- his forefeet. The
new shoes boro tlie stamp "H. 8. I. U."
This is a union mark. The Horse
Shoers International union, which is
reported to have only one local in
this city. The 600 members are be-
ing examined.

ment.

"The agreement on the part of tlu
city officials of Galveston to place the
police department of Galveston in the
hands of a state ranger captain, desig-
nated by me, and to give police pro-
tection through rangers and a Ioc;U
police force, working under his di.
rection, will in my judgment, afford
that safety for workers and that pro-
tection to property which will, for the
first time siifce military forces have
been#in Galveston, justify their with-
drawal.
Congestion Relieved.
"The presence of the militia has re-
lieved the congestion in the movement
of commerce through the port of Gal.
veston and has guaranteed the right of
the individual to work undisturbed
and unmolested. The state, through
its government, can perform no higher
service. Those employed at the port
will be given the same protection as
heretofore because if the agreement is
not carried out in good faith, and if
there is any hindrance or interference
with the rangers through local author-
ities, I will immediately take the neces-
sary steps to give protection, even if
the restoration of martial law Is neces-
sary, and the soldiers shall be re-
turned.
"Tho laws of the state will lie strict-
ly enforced and those arteries of trade
essential to the business and prosperity
of Texas will be kept open while the
free and uninterrupted movement

"I am very much pleased that an
agreement has been reached so the
troops of the national guard of Texas

them for the splendid service they
have rendered tho state. I am thank-
ful to General Jacob F. Wolters who
