Diving Suits No Longer Necessary. Tokio, Aug. 23.—The invention by a Japanese of a diving appliance which dispenses with the use of pumping promisee •to revolutionize the pearling industry. The new appliance consists of a small mask, with face glass end rirtJoer edge, which covers the eyes and nose. The mask is connected to a cyl inder about 16 pounds in weight, filled with compressed air, which is carried on the chest. The supply of air to the nose is regulated by the mouth, which controls an attachment to a tube connecting the cylinder with the mask.

Davis Denounces Organization Cwlhte* ApPPs,l ~ Asks Kame of Seagirt, N. ,T„ Aug. 22,-The Ku Klux .was denounced by name here to day by John W. Dnvis. the Demo cratic presidential candidate. In a 1 gliting address to the demoeruev of New Jersey. Mr. Dnvis oondbmnod' that and any other organisation raising the standard of racial and religious pre uidice. Then he called upon President Coolidge ns the standard bearer of the republican party to join him by “some explicit dec la ration” in “eii'tiroly retnov mg this topic from the field of poli tical debate.” Having discussed it rather fully in Ins acceptance address, Mr. Dnvis np oarently did not intend to refer to it again in his address here. He told his audience that since his arrival here from New York last night he had been asked by more than one person as to the views he entertained toward the ilnn. Decision to state his position alearly, once nnd for all, as he put it. is understood to have been Crystallized' at a conference which Mr. Dnvis had last night with several party leaders at the home of Governor Silzer. Besides the. governor, those reported to have participated included Mayor Frank Hague, of Jersey City, democratic national committeeman from this state; loaeph P. Tumulty, former secretary to •stsspts? quarters of the national campaign or ganization. Ml*. Davis voiced his declaration re garding the klan at the conclusion of a general address in which he vigorously scored the republican party on the record of scandals disclosed at Wash ington and pointed out the chief points im which the two parties differ. Apparently few in the audience look ed for such a declaration. When the nominee with out-thrust jaw and vigor ous gesture, first named the klan. there was a hush. But It was only for an in stant. Cheers broke from the thousands gathered on the Camp Silzer parade grounds, and hats, handkerchiefs and pennants were waved enthusiastically- Again and again he was interrupted by cheering and there were cries of ‘‘good boy.” “that’s the stuff’ from the audience. Mr. Davis said at the outset that this issue was one which had no proper place in this or any other cam paign ; that he mentioned it in the hope that he might dispose of it once and for all so far as he wns concerned. Reminding his hearers that in his Clarksburg acceptance address he af firmed his “personal belief in the great guarantees of religious freedom and re ligious toleration which have made this country what it is,” the nominee de clared he had sought to give his views in terms sufficiently broad to include any and all forms of bigotry, prejudice nnd intolerance. “On that declaration I stand,” he snid. “Whenever any organization, no matter what it chooses to be culled, whether Ku Klux Klan or by any other name, raises the standard of racial and religious belief as test of fitness for puh’ic office, it does violence to the spirit of American institutions and must be condemned by all these who be lieve aa I do in American ideals. “Hear me for one further word. I repeat that the r se gratters must not be permitted to divert the attention of the public from the vital questions now be fore them. To this end and with this end only in my mind. I venture, here and now, t<f express the hope that the nominee of the republican party will see fit by some explicit declaration to join me in removing this topic from the : field of political debate.” “That is the text I have adopted, in the guidance of the democratic party in this campaign.” Aged Negro Fireman Dead. Raleigh, Ang. 23.—Charles Cardwell, negro, who died here Thursday, was one of the oldest firemen in North Carolina.

Berlin, Aug. 23 (By the Associated Press).—The London conference for launching the Dawes reparations plan gave Germany a chance which is not like ly to be renewed if she rejects it.

The Chancellor's speech, which was to have been read at yesterday’s session, but was then held up because of the com munistic rowdying, gave warning as well as a sturdy appeal to the reichstng’s eon | science, carefully to consider the alterna tive in the event 1 it decides to rejecWhe agreement initiated by the German dele gates in London. “Who will assure us that it will be possible to re-enlist American participa tion which under the slogan of the Dawes report has at least emerged from its aloofness, if one of the essential parties to the pact now fails to obtaiu its rati fication at home?” he asked the deputies.

Fla., Aug. 23.—Contracts have been signed and things are shap ing themselves for an early beginning on the first units, at both ends, of the long-dreamed-of overseas highway be tween Key West aud the mainland of Florida, a distance of approximately 150 miles. . • Contracts signed by the county com missioners of this (Monroe) county call for construction of the roadways and bridges from Stock Island to Saddle Bunches and the causeway and bridge from Key Largo to Dade county. Approximately 25 miles of the road are provided for under the contracts just signed, about equally divided in distance at the two ends of the line. Stock Is land, upon which the city of Key West is located, is about two and one-half miles from Boca Chica and the latter is. approximately one mile from Saddle j Bunches, which with Sugar Loaf, will i make it possible to extend the road sor 1 more than fifteen miles without further j bridging. After leaving Sugar Loaf go- j ing eastward another stretch of islands makes it possible to extend the road thirty miles or more with minimum bridging. j The undertaking represents one of the I most spectacular pieces of construction in the country, and its completion will match tbe famous overseas railroad built I by the late Henry M. Flagler. The lat ter road, undertaken down the east coast j of Florida a boat a quarter of a century ago, later was pushed on to this city by throwing up of coral rock from the, bottom of the sea upon which to build the roadbed for mile after mile. Why some people don’t get on is be cause they are always fallng off in ap plication. ’ HARROW CONTINUES HIS PLEA TO JUDGE CAVERLY Wants Mercy lor Two Clients Who Killed Young Bobbie Franks. | Chicago, Aug. 23 (By the Associated Press). —Clarence S. Darrow today again , matched his eloquence, logic and phil osophy in an appeal to Judge John R. Caverly for mercy towards Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, Jr. Before a packed court room in a still ness so tense that it was punetauted by the muffled clicks of “silent" typewriters and telegraph instruments, the grizzled veteran of the bar talked to the grey haired judge, pleading for mercy for two diseased minds, picturing the situation of youth condemned to a lifetime of liv ing in a cell, and denouncing the bar barity of hanging in general, and in this case in particular. There was fierce denunciation, too. of the testimony given by the state alienists, lrarticularly Dr. Wm. Krohm. “The crime was so aimless that the de fendants did not even have a definite vic tim in mind." Mr. Darrow said, and he pictured Loeb trailing one boy and then another, “bent on killing, but not know- ! ing when, he could and whom he could get. “And I get a picture too, of Dr. Krohn going in and out of courts for 16 years." said Mr. Darrow, "slaying his victims without regard to tjjeir age or sex or cir cumstances. But fie had a motive. It was cash,” ELIZABETH CITY MAN DRAWS 186 YEARS IN STATE PRISON E. S. Clarke Pleads Guilty In Court to Indescribable Crimes. Elizabeth City, Aug. 22. —Two sen tences of 60 years each and three of l. r > years each, all to run concurrently, were imposed this afternoon in the case of E. E. Clarke, 65-year-old typewriter repairman, when, through counsel he of fered pleas of guilty in two instances of crimes against nature and in three in stances to the crime of attempted as sault upon a female child under the age of 12 years. Thus suddenly came to its conclusion the most revolting case in the annals of Pasquotank county. The defendant was charged with rape. “I think you have acted wisely,” Judge Lyon told counsel for the defense, “in adviaiting your client to submit, for I am confident that this jury or any ' sensible jury, after seeing and hearing ■ the evidence in this case would have ( found the defendant guilty of a crime 1 for which he might have been called to answer with liis life.” “I am aware,” the court went on to say after the sentences had been imposed, j “that this will mean that this defendant j must pass the remainder of his life ' within prison walls. That is where he j ought to be. He is undoubtedly a sex- j ual pervert and perhaps cannot restrain ■ !himself. He needs protection from him- ' self as well as to be put where he can not further prey upon society.” NEGRO KILLED AT RELIGIOUS MEETING Asheboro Boy Dies Friday From In juries Receives at Holy Roller Ser vices Sunday Night.

GUN Pl *S“* I to Huri and Brimstone, While Coolidge Soft Pedate, la Be lief. Charles Michelson in the Philadelphia Record. -, Washington, I). 0.. Aug. 21. \ Dawes’ attack on La Foilette nVr-TiTs elevation, of the fight against “radical position of a leading issue of the campaign marks the return of the Senatorial old guard to the high councils of the Republican campaign. Curtis, of Kansas, and Moses, of New Hampshire, the two of the out-of-favor senators who have kept communications open between the White House and the Senate, begged President Coolidge to make the attack himself. They told him that his fight would be won or lost as La Foilette was checked or successful in the West and Northwest, and while the President did not dispute their logic, he differed from them ns to the most ex pedient way of handling the situation. His idea then seemed to be that a vio lent attack on the progressives would alienate many from the Republican ranks beyond recall, while abstention from this course would leave the way open for the return of the prodigals, who would be in better humor with their party by reason of the indicated return of prosperity to. the farmers. • The senators left Wash ington mnch discouraged. General Dawes having taken up the fight in the way they wanted it indicates that a compromise was agreed to later on. Evidently the party is going to play both ends: Mr. Coolidge is to con tinue to deal with the “red” issue with gentleness and conciliation and the Vice Presidential candidate to hand out the fire and brimstone. Perhaps the first fruits of the arrange ment is that Senator Couzens, of Mich igan, who has hung in the balance be tween Coolidge and La Foilette, has now come out definitely for the President, though in his declaration he makes no promise as to going along with the ad ministration policies, most of which he opposed last session. It may be that the campaign regularity of Broolkhart, of lowa, and Norris, of Nebraska, is also part of the harvest. If this regularity continues after election, it leaves only I -add and Frazier, the senators from North Dakota, on whom Iva Foilette can rely to the end. In other words, if the election should happen to go to Con gress these three are the only putative Republicans who can be expected to ab stain from voting for General -Dawes. They will be enough to prevent his elec tion and give the Presidency to Gover nor Bryan, assuming, as seems probable, that the successor to the late Senator Colt, of Rhode Island, is a Democrat. There is much uneasiness in Repub lican councils about the farmers, despite the better humor in which the rise in the price of wheat has put most of them. bnreaii \as l^ui^rtab^sTi^'i^?h^ paign organization. Reports are coming' in that the farmers are still on the fence. Republican scouts have been interview ing their spokesmen and have been told quite plainly that they prefer the Demo cratic platform on farm relief to that adopted in Cleveland, ami while Mr. Coolidge went further in their direction than his platform did, they are waiting to see what the campaign brings forth before deciding where their best chance lies. Though wheat lias gone up, the wheat farmers say the price is still below its costs of production, and the corn farm ers, having disposed of their crops, will not profit this season from the rise. The Democrats are coming to life. They have been allowing the La Foilette crowd and the Republicans) to monopolize the propaganda output, but today Chair man Shaver, of the Democratic nation al committee, issued a statement on the Dawes speech of acceptance that indi cates that the heavy fighting is begun. Chairman Shaver, quoting General Dawes’ reference to “widespread dema gogy in legislative bodies” and to ’’ag gressive organizations behind selfish pur poses,” said the Republican vice presi dential candidate him failed to give specifications. To supply- the lack, Mr. Shaver went back to Dawes' speech at the national budget committee dinner in New York two years ago and gave the excerpts. “One of the reasons we have this trouble (the subserviency of Congress) is the direct primary.” declared Mr. Dawes. “Look what the direct pri mary law has done to Congress. Read the roster of Congress and think what the names meant 25 years ago, and read it today. Pussilanimous fellows. The trouble is the cowardice of Congressmen in office who would barter the interests of their country in order to stay hi office, and if there is any organized op position they run. Look at the way they ran before the organized minorities of the soldier bonus bloc, the farm bloc, the labor bloc, the maternity bloc, the good roads bloc. The damned cowards run and run.” Pointing out that the Congress to which General Dawes had reference was overwhelmingly Republican, Chairman Shaver went on to state that: • “It may be remarked that tW only Congressmen who have been convicted of bartering the interests of the country are Republicans. One Republican Congressman just nom inated is under sentence for taking bribes. At that, Republican Congress men are hardly worse than Republican cabinet officers. One of that class also has been indicted on a charge of ‘barter ing his country's interests’.” Senator Jones, of New Mexico, chair man of tlie Democratic senatorial cam paign, also came to the front. He an swers the various tables produced by Republicans purporting to show the certainty of a Coolidge victory by citing that of the 48 states, 27, with 280 votes in the electoral college, where 266 suffices to elect a President, elected Democratic governors at their last elec tion, .and seven additional states, with 50 electoral votes, chose Democratic sen ators In 1922, the last time the public had a chance to express itself a« be tween the two major parties.
