Here is a photo-study of Henry Judd Gray, salesman, and

Snyder in murdering her husband, Albert Snyder, magazine,

EDITORS ASSERT SOI Til
WILL BACK SMITH IE NAMED
Poll Reveals No Strong Tide There
Against Candidacy of the Govern- j
or.
Washington. April (!.—Political at
tention was focused today on a |mll
being taken by the Baltimore Sun j
of Southern editors on the candidacy !
of Gov. Smith of New York for the ;
Democratic nomination for president,
shows no strong tide against him there, i
though, of course, his weaknesses are ,
recognized.
In Virginia, North and South Caro- j
lina and Tennessee, editors have either j
stated that Gov. Smith is their person- |
al choice as candidate or else have i
held to the traditional opinion that
the Governor's religion and his stand |
on the wet and dry issue will make |
him unavailable to the South.
It is regarded as singular that near- I
ly all the editors who have responded
have commented that no matter wheth- j
er or not they would oppose Gov. j
Smith for the nomination their States |
would run true to form, and return
Democratic- electors in November of
1928.
One of the weaknesses of the Smith j
boom, according to his political ene- j
mies has been the fact that if nomi- j
nated he might lose some of the States
of the solid South and permit, a Re- j
publican candidate to roll up an enor- |
. mous majority.
Foes of the Governor's candidacy are
beginning to awaken to the possibility i
that dry and church elements may not
be so strong in some of the Southern
States as they have been represented
and it is understood here that quiet
organization work lias been going on
to keep them intact.
No actual movement for a Smith
delegation has been started in any
Southern States though there is al
ready compromise talk in Texas on the
part of the friends of Gov. Moody and
some indications have been seen that
Louisiana may have a fight for Smith
delegates with the aid of one powerful
newspaper.
In fact, this season of the year has
been murked by the slackening of the
fight against Smith and by the merely
* cusual results obtained by some of
1 his bitter critics, including former
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who
insisted that the Democratic nominee
must be a dry, although he reserved
I comment on the religious questiou.
j Observers have been commenting on
I the lack of activity in the camp of the
anti-Smith forces. Wheras at this
season in the preconvention campaign
of 1924, William G. McAdoo was far
out in front and leaders were declaring
for him left and right, it is noticed
they are extremely cautious about the
matter now, and even the close .friends
of the former Secretary of the Treas
ury are not assured of his plans with
regard to the spring and summer cam
paigns of this year.
I Every one here admits that the
“breaks” of public sentiment have
been with Gov. Smith. Only this week
I Senator Borah of Idaho, in whom
; many Democrats as well as Republi
cans hare confidence, said he believed
1 the Governor, if elected President,
would enforce the prohibition law. Os
cofirse he put a sting in his statement
by saying he thought President Cool

1928 and 'by indicating his own lack
of opposition to the President
When former Postmaster-General
Burleson and former Attorney-General
Gregory declared in Texas for Gov.
Smith it was strongly asserted that
the solid McAdoo line, had ben broken
and commentators quite generally
agreed that even though Burleson and
Gregory did not command the State
politically, their influence nationally
would be powerful.

j iu 19(h) marines were sent immediately

j ican force was a small one of some
| <>o men and officers, but it performed
| herculean duties in keeping the Clii
| nese fanatics from slaughtering thp
i diplomatic officials and those under
j their protection.
I Then a march was started for the
! relief of the city under Admiral Sey-
I mour of the British navy. It was a
| failure because the force was too
I small. In that march American ma
rine*; and sailors under Captain Md-
Calla did splendid work, for they went
equipped for rough service, and tine
extra rations they took along came in
handy to share with the soldiers of
other nations.
Another relief force-was started fojr
Peking and the American and Japa
nese soldiers were in the forefront.
They showed their superiority to the
others for general inarching. At Tient
sin there was much fighting, and t.lie
taking of that city cost the lives t)f
a number of Americans, among them
members of the marine corps.
The trail at Peking was taken up
and after a lot of hard battling the
gates were reached and the walls
stormed, Americans nnd Japanese
leading the way. It was n welcome
sight to the besieged residents to see
the flags of the nations, and among
them the stars and stripes, flying to
the breeze. Some of the regiments
of the regular army of the United
States participated ill this march and
they shared with the marines in tile
glory of the rescue.
China’s First War With England.
London. April s.—China’s first war
with England occurred in 1839, when
the Chinese government attempted jto
stop the importaution of opium infto
the country by the East India Com
pany. The opium trade had grown
from 4.100 chests in 1796 to 30,000
chests iu 1837 and was, therefore, a
most important source of revenue to
the British company.
Early in 1839 the emperor gent ja
commissioner to Canton to put a defi
nite stop to he opium traffic. The
peremptory instructions given the com
missioner were “to cut off the fountain
of evil, and if necessary to sink t|e
British ships and to break their cal
drons, since the only thought on the
emperor’s part was to do away with
opinm forever.” The emperor himself
was a reformed opium eater and he
had lost three sons by the vice.
Within a week of the commission
er’s arrival at Canton he issued an
edict Wherein he stigmatized the for
eigners as a heartless people who
thought only of trade and of making
their way by stealth into the Flowery
Kingdom, whereas the laws of Eng
land, he asserted, prohibited the smok
ing -of opium in their own country,
A demand was made to surrender *to
him all stores of opium within three

Sally, who had been listening

Scarcely three weeks after the ex

noon, the purple shadows of s per
feet June afternoon were darkling
the Hudson, far below the Hall ot
Fame, while the last rays of tha
sun. as It slid like a great flaming
wafer down behind the black rim
of the Palisades across the river,
gilded the dames and roofs of the
University buildings.
The Commencement crowd, at
once quiet with the sadness ot pas»

promise of signal futures, was di»
parsing. One name was on many
tongues—Bob Ward, to whose eten
nal enshrinement in N. T. U.’s fool) I
ball history had been added th|
lustre ot graduation at the head of !
his class In the School ot Engl
neerlng with honors.
A group of classmates stood oS

and raised their young voices Is

And fade as does the dying day,

As out in ttte toe wend our way."
Now they had finished. Now they
were shaking hands all around, each
looking sheepish because of tha
tears he felt In his eyes; each
promising to write, to attend re
unions. and all that. Now they had
parted. This wes the end!

Bob walksd briskly, proudly, to

Then, arm In arm, they walked
