AL SMITH IS REAL FRIEND OF MURPHY But His Friendliness Will Prove a Handicap in Other Ways Haskin. (By FREDERICK FAKKINl llwnl fmumtai r" i.kafUla CIMmh) WASHINGTON. Jan. 31. The war whoon of Tammany braves will be heard In the 1H24 Demo cratic National Convention as It haa not been heard In !0 years. ror the first time since 1804 Tam many will have a real candidate for the presidential nomination a randidate who is one of Its very own. Governor Al Smith. Tammany is always a plcturea- que and a potent force in the na tional conclaves of Democracy. It is the greatest thing In the way of a political machine that the country has ever known. It con trols the biggest block of votes lu the convention and - It delivers those votes when, whers and to whojn the leaders decide. Rarely has a candidate failed of nomina tion who cojld command Tam many's support at the crucial mo. ment and the leaders have usual ly played the came In such a manner that their vote has been the deciding factor,- even If they have not Invariably put over their first choice. Politics Is strictly business with Tammany. Its purpose is to dic tate nominations, carry elections and' control patronage and all the perquisites that go with success at the polls. There Is seldom, any sentiment In what Tammany does or undertakes to do. Antipathies. hates, grudges and natural ami lations can bo forgotten and cast aside In a moment to do the thing that seems expedient from a party standpoint, or Trom considerations Commander Coast Guard is Admiral , . id LEAGUE PLANS TO British Accept America's Terms For Settlement Of Big Debt Of England Made Daring World Var WASHINGTON NOW DISARMAMEN CALL CONFERENCE T One of the Clouds Hang mg over Europe Is Re moved by League.

As a result of a heating hers today, be fore Judge Ingram, . acting In magisterial capacity, ' Archie Par tner, ot Aioemarie, was Douna over to the Superior Court, on a charge of manslaughter, the charger grow ing out of the deaths on Novem ber 15, last., of James Stagg, and Ralph Smith, of Durham, and Albert ' Mooneyham, of Raleigh, Palmer was released under bond IK ono. - Stars. Smith, and' Mooneyham, were killed, when an automobile. In which they were riding, ran over an embankment, near the Swift Island bridge. In Stanley County. At the time no arrests were made, In connection with the accident, but as a result ol an in vestigation, which has continued Intermittently, since that time, rahner was arrested the early part of this month, and held for today s hearing. . . Witnesses testified that two au tomobiles passed along the high way shortly before the accident, one of which has since been Iden tified as the wrecked car. A young woman passenger in the other car testified that raimer was anv ing it, and was under the influ ence of liquor. She stated that the astomobtle with three men in it Impted to pass Palmer's car lifie was driving to the left of the. road, and that he swerved still further to the left. It was then she alleges she heard a crash after the fender of their car had been struck by something from behind. She looked back, and saw-" the other car plunge down the em bankment, and told Palmer that there had been an accident, and that he said it wasn't his fault. In sted of stbpping she said he in creased the speed of the car. The defense offered no evidence and on the strength of the testi mony Judge Ingram . bound Pal mer over trf the Superior Court. The case will come op at , the i Aoril term of that court CONSOLIDATION OP BUREAC8 SUGGESTED WASHINGTON, Jan. SI A sug gestion that the Veterans' Bureau and the Pension Office be consoli dated, started a!n argument before the House Interstate Commerce Committee today as to whether money now paid to former service men constitutes "pensions" or "compensation."- H. H. Raege, representing the disabled American Veterans, told the committee hla organization would welcome any move to con solidate soldier relief agencies, but did not favor return "of the old pension systems." "It is already back," declared Representative Huddleaton, Demo crat, Alabama. INSANITY CHARGED . BY AGED BRIDE WILMINGTON. N. C, JanXll. The romance of 3. T. TTa.ncirlr 83. Confederate eVteran, and Mrs. Hancock, 64, who eloped a month ago. went on the roclcs today, when Mrs. Hancock filed an affi davit with the clerk of the Supe rior Court, asserting that her hus band was Insane. He was remand ed to the County home. - of what is beat for the Wigwam Leaders from other Mates have learned this to their sorrow In many national conventions when they have -found that Tammany "plays the gamo" on the theory that candidates may come and candidates may go, the vital is sues may be these one year and those the next, but Tammany goes on forever "and with it the only vital Issue is the one that may spell success. Politically speaking the New York Democratic organl cation la whutt one might term "hard boiled" It delivers the goods and it- expects those with whom, it d is 'to li the-eas't Senttrars Back t I Ol Smith. H , This time, however, there will be no lack of sentiment In Tam many's presentation and support of Governor Smith. As has boon said, he is the organisation's can didate in every sense. He is one of the braves and he commands a loyalty among the rank and tile that is almost idolatrous. He is one of their kind from the ground up. (As one of the district leaders who was recently In Washington put it, "Al is the kind of a guy you can go to hell for and like it." Wherefore It Is to be expected that Tammany will descend upon the next Democratic National Con vention with unprecedented en thusiasm and determination. In 1904 th, organization supported Judge Alton B. Parker and the gentleman from Esopus was nom inated, but ho was not really a Tammany candidate and there was an impression at the St. Louis convention that it was not so much a fight for Tarker as a struggle to wrest contro) of the par(y from William Jennings Bryan. Besides, there was little expectation that the Democrats would be able to defeat Roosevelt that year and It was a difficult matter to generate enthusiasm that was not largely perfunctory. In 1808 Bryan swung back into power and gloated over his defeat of the New Tork bosses and the! machine. In 1812. Woodrow Wil son was nominated In spite of the New York organization, although the vote from that State was the deciding factor on the'nnal roll call. At San Francisco in 1820 It did . not appear that Tammany was vitally Interested in the fight for the nomination, possibly again due to a conviction that it was a good year for Democrats to get excited and "all het up " But the situation la different now. The Tammany braves believe they can put on their war bon nets and their war paint and beat their war drums with a reasonable expectation eX putting over their candidate within the party and then electing him. If that does not. bring out all the enthusiasm and all the fighting spirit that there la in Tammany then there is nothing that can. - That there are weaknesses In the CONTROL OF RADIO TO BE LEFT TO SECRETARY OF COMMERCE UNDER BILL PASSSED By HOUSE WASHINGTON.

The assigning of wave lengths- for the governmental plants would be in the hands of the President. - The bill provides for an advis ory committee consisting of men appointed by various department neaas, radio experts and amateur to keep abreast of development and needs of the wireless Indus try. Amateur receiving stations would not be affected by the bill set aside for them. I ENS EGONSIDERER AT AN END HERE If City Limits Are Tlx tended it Will Be Done by voters of Community. Proposal plans for the extension of theVclty limits of Ashevllle sank Into oblivion yesterday. .jThe proposition, at least, became auead issue for the present upon the adoption of a resolution at the Joint session of the Planning com' mission and the City Cominls sioners. Under the terms of the resolu tion agitation can be started on the question In the future, but be fore the City Commissioners can Increase the bounds of the munici pality. It will be stipulated that the voters of Ashevillo will be called upon to ballot on, the proposal In addition to the qualified tax I'iy ors j-euUiis,.Hhin .the terrl tor y ' t o be thus affected. The matter has left the jurisdic tion of the Planning Commission for the resolution directs that the City Corporation Counsel draw -a bill and present it to the Bun combe County Representatives in the Legislature, which would leave the problem In the future to the City Commissioners. Of course, there Is nothing to keep the plan ning body from making recom mendations in the future. Each different section near the city, Grace, Norwood Park, the Asheville Country Club, Grove Park Inn, Kenilworth, Blltmore, South Biltmoro and a portion of the Vanderbllt IXate. was tlven careful consideration, but the Planning Commission failed to recommend that any particular section be added to the limits. The resolution offered by D. Hlden Ramsey, of the Planning Com mission, as a substitute motion to George Stephens in substance was as follows: First: That the Board of City Commissioners be granted the authority to at any time to call special election for the purpose of extending me city limits and that 30 days' notice be given before V, . - jfauu. Second: That the commission ers he clothed with the power to aesignaie ine territory proposed to ds annexed. Third: That before the terrl tory Is annexed, the question be voted upon by the qualified voters ot ine city of Ashevllle end the residents within the territory to be thus affected, a majority of the voters in riotn cases to be had be- iore tne extension can be made, After the meetlnr. Charles A . Webb, who spoke before the Joint ooaies wnn reference to the ex tension, stated: "The Citizen has never advocated that anv snerlfin lerruory do annexed to the city. It has, however, disfavored the an nexation of fhe Ashevllle Country During the session, Mr. Stephens said at first he had thought It wuuia nave oeen a srood nlan to annex a part of the territory Just North of the city, excluding Grove Park -Inn and the Country Club, but later that he had become possessed with the opinion that ucn acuon mignt work a hardship on certain property owners In the various scnool districts. Donald aillls suggested that the body designate certain areas for factory sites and that they be maae exempt from annexation. Attorney J. 1 W.

One of the ciouns hanging over Europe was dissipated today, when t.'zecho- Sloakia, and Hungary accepted the procedure proposed by the Council of the League of Nations, lo settle the boundary dispute be tween them. Representatives of loih countries told the council its meeting here, today, they would abide by Its decision. The council will investigate the situation, and render Its decision at its next meet- lug. The council decided t? follow the suggestion of the last League as sembled, and call an international conference to consider extension of the Washington naval accord to those powers that did not have the opportunity of signing the agree ment, ine date will not be fixed until after adjournment of tha forthcoming Pan-American Con gress, In Santiago. In spite of the Intervention of tne Karl of Balfour, who declared thai appropriations for armamenta did not form a practical basis from which to figure proportional limit ations the council decided In pur suance of a resolution adopted by the last assembly, to invite all membera of the League Vi limit their annual expenditures for arm aments, to the amounts appropri ated In 1913. The welfare pf the German min orities in Poland, Is giving he council considerable concern. , The question is on the agenda, but it being put off as long as 'losslhle, In order to give the, members op portunity for private consideration in the hope of preparing tho way for agreement before It Is taken up cormaiiy.

Berlin truck telegraph and telephone cables at several places around Essen, completely Isolating the city from the out side world, snd a more acute scarcity of food these were the developments of the 21st -day of the Franco-Belgian occupation. On the other hand calm haa ap parently been restored so far as outward demonstrations are con cerned; the Infantry bicycle and cavalry patrols which have been keeping order In the atreets since the outbursts of last Thursday, have arrested only two men al Es sen and one at Duesaaldorf In the past 24 hours, and these were for minor otTensea. The patrols had been averaging IS to 20 srrests dslly in each of these cities. The taking over of the customs by the French Is the most severe economic blow attempted since they entered the Ruhr. M.
