(By the (mwlstrt l*rT»«) New York, July 16.—John W. Davis, Democratic Presidential inyninee, will select his campaign ' manager and the new chairman of the Democratic nation al committee sometime today. This statement was mad? shortly be fore noon by George White, former na tional chairman, who with Clem Shaver, of West s * Virginia, spent the morning with Mr, Davis at the home of Frank L. Polk here. Mr. Davis announced today that in order to give his entire undivided at tention to the campaign, -he had de termined to sever all of his legal and I business connections. Hie law partners were notified accordingly of his with drawal from the firm of Stetson, Jen nings. Russell and Davis. Among other employments surrendered by Mr. Davis was that of general coun sel for the Associated Press. He also resigned the only directorates held by him, namely in the United States Rubber Company, the Atchison, Topeka “H Santa Fe Railroad Company and the National Bank of Commerce of New Yprk. Although Mr. I>avis has not committed himself publicly on the question of divid ing the management of his contest, it was said today by persons high in Demomerat ic councils that the candidate is favor ably inclined toward such a division of responsibility. At the end of his all dny conference with party leaders yesterday, Mr. Dhvis said that no deeudon had been reached. The plan contemplates the shirring of the campaign directorship- bj the thair- W*n of the National Committee and the campaign manager. Should such an in novation be adopted, it is reported that Clem Shaver may he chosen for chair man of the nntioual committee. One of the most seriously considered ]K>ssi bilities for campaign manager is said to be Thos. .T. Spellacy, of Connecticut, for merly an anient McAdoo follower. )' It is said that the campaign manager is almost certain to be an Eastern man. As a result, there is much speculation reganling Vance McCormick, of Pennsyl vania, and also some discussion of Daniel C. Roper, of New York, both of whom were actively identified with the Wilson campaign. DISAPPEARED WITH PAY ROLL; SHOT AND WOUNDED C. N.

The Bhutanese' women, in India, are said to have been the first to “bob” their hail-. to stop. Ahead of us in the ditch, we saw the same car that had barely missed running into us at Battleboro. There was nobody in sight. In a few minutes the .red haired man and the negro came out of the woods on the right hand side of the road (looking north) and took a j long bundle out of the car. “The bundle,” Mrs. Alien said, “was as long as three pillows and was wrap ped in blue doth and looked like an awning. I called my son’s attention to what was going on and told him it looked mysterious. The white man took one end beneath his arm, and the negro took the other end in his two hnnds and they carried it out into the woods. They didn’t stay long.” Mysterious Maneuvers. The mysterious maneuvers in the swamp near Enfield. Mrs. Allen said, transpired about 3 o'clock in the after hoon. About 5 o’clock, Rhe continued, a thunderstorm overtook her party and they stopped for shelter at a place called “Riverdam Baptist Church.” “While we were there,” she declared, “a black car drove up and two men got out. They were the red haired man and the negro with the shiny face that we had been twice already that day. I peered into the car to see what had be come of the man wearing the army offi cer’s. cayp. He wasn’t in the car. This ear didn’t look like the one we had seen earlier, _ and I recalled that I had seen nothing of the army officer while we were watching the two men move the long bundle from the car near Enfield.” It was not until she reached Norfolk, Mrs. Allen said, that she heard of Major McLeary’s disappearance. She then linked up the trio she had met on the road near Battleboro and the two she had seen later near Enfield with the case. She said she did not know the brand of car nor observe the license tag. * I gOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO II ' BASEBALL j!

Sisson, _ Says It Is Business I Insurance and Protects the Public. | London, July 14.—Every dollar spent : for advertising space adds to the neees jsity for exactness of statement and in tegrity of product, Frances H. Sisson, j vice president of the Guaranty Trust I Company of New York, said in an ad ! dress today before the annual conven tion of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. His topic was “Adver tising as a Creator of Public Standards in Busineite.”' , . “The standards*fixed“by the merchant" or manufacturer in public statement and printed word must become the standards of distribution and production, - ’ he ad ded, “or the inevitable loss of public con fidence and good will spells bankruptcy, moral as well as financial. Good will is the joint product of good goods, good service and good advertising. Protect ed, it is an invaluable'asset, but violated in either of its essential elements, a fatal liability. It is business insurance. It protects the public and provides the buy er of an advertised trade-marked article with a triple guarantee of quality— from the merchant, the manufacturer and the publisher. It fixes the standard which maker and distributor must meet and provides a finite goal for business achievement.” Mr. Sisson said the conclusion hav ing been reached that it was “just as proper to merchanidse forms of service as to sell commodities,” the next step would be that the use .of advertising in. “merchandising ideas is quite as proper as its use in the sale of goods and serv ices. He asserted the development of a new relation to the public through ad vertising has led in the banking business to higher ideals and to far broader con ception of its opportunity for useful serv ice to the community. “Thus today, the great American banks in their advertising are doing much to combat economic fallacies and | tot instruct the public in the field of J sound finance, and there can be no doubt of the usefulness and effectiveness of this propaganda for higher economic and financial standards. This positive re flex action of good advertising upon the advertiser himself which has taken place in banking, is also evident in many other industries and activities.” The day has long passed, Mr. Sisson declared, when advertising could be con sidered a mere experiment or a specula tion. “It has long since become a demonstrated economic factor as a busi ness builder and stabilizer,” he added, “as well as a clearly proved educational force. Today paVticularly invites the advertiser to lay up stores of good will and prestige for future markets. Now is the time for advertising to be infor mative and educational, to help create new standards of living, to stabilize markets, tto make life more comfortable and attractive, as well as more just, and sound.” • , Judge Sinclair Is Nut Resting So Easily I Now. 1 Albermarle, July 15.—The condition of Judge N, A.

July 16 (By the Asso ciated Press). —An official Brazilian statement from Rio Janeiro was received by La Nanion at midnight, stating that the Federais “won an important action against the rebels, capturing many pris oners.” The official bulletin announced that telegrams are continuing to arrive, indicating that, patriotic batallions have been organized in nearly all the cities of Sao Panic state to battle the insurrec tionists.

A wireless message received from the German steamer General Belgrano today said the ship had received a radio com munication from the Brazilian foreign office, denying a report broadcast Mon day by the British steamer Andes stat ing that the Sao Paulo insurrectionists had advanced to within eight miles of Santos.

EFFORTS TO LOCATE RICHMOND BABY FAIL Is Believed Eight-Months-Old Baby of Mrs. Christian Went to Its Death With Mother. Richmond. Va., July 15. —A1l efforts of local and Henrico county officers to locate the body of little Jacqueline Chris - -John- B. Christian, whose body was found in the James River and Kanawha canal this morning, have been fruitless and to night it was thougt unlikely that the child will be found.

The search continued through out the night and this morning officers, convinced that the wife had met her ■ death in the water, had the canal drain ed and located her body which they turned over to relatives, declaring that “it’s not a case for the coroner.” It is the belief that the missing of the mother who. friends say, has been despondent lately over her own ill health and sickness of her children.
