Threats Of Upheaval Menace Hoover’s G. 0. P. “ Cleanup”1 '‘Hooverlzation" Program May Get A Few Jolts Before Work Is Complete. Washington.—Complete Hoover! - ration of the Republican national committee, which the White House hopes to bring to a quiet consum mation September 0 by the com mittee’s formal ratification of silently wrought personnel changes from top to bottom, is proceeding quietly but with threats of upheaval. Seldom in political history has a clean-up been approached so stealthily. Not a word has come from the White House, although Mr. Hoover unofficially has chosen Claudius Huston, undercover cam paign worker and fund raiser ex traordinary. to succeed Hubert Work as national chairman and the “pocket votes” necessary for election were assorted long ago. Potential Southern Revolt. Tlie south is the center of actual and potential revolt. The section Mr. Hoover hopes to placate by ap pointment of a southerner to di rect party campaign strategy re mains disorganized politically on the important race question, negroes already threatening revolt at the rise of Huston, who is a leader in the “lily white” movement that would strip negroes of political power. More generally, however, the air of mystery about so many changes said to be ‘‘in the bag” before the committee meets to debate and vote is disturbing both regular and irregular party leaders. Many of them frankly do not know what it is all about and resent the lack of Inside information. The latest mystery is the role to be played by former Repre sentative A. P. Dawson of Iowa Reports that Dawson has been se lected as “executive secretary” of the national committee have been denied at the White House in the wake of a conference Dawson had with the president. Unofficial re ports at the White House are to the effect that Dawson will aid the senatorial campaign committee in a publicity capacity. Dawson s Role Mystery. No observers profess to know who has given Dawson whatever position he is to have, nor wn? anyone should give him that posi tion less than one month in ad vance of election of a new na tional committee state, nor why in any case there should be so much mystery about the whole business. Chairman Work, who will retire September 9, has remained out of the limelight for more than two months. He has been in Colorado most of that time, during which virtually every political report from that section has brought a icnia! as Indefinite as the crigina! report. Meanwhile, unidentified party workers on behalf of the White Hcuse have gone about the "sound ing out" process by letter. tele graph end telephone, with the re sult that all but some half dozen votes appeared lined up for Huston.

IS $39.34 FOR EACH PERSON Washington—If the money in circulation at the end of last month were divided equally among the population of the United States each person would have $39.34. This was revealed today in the monthly circulation statement of the treas ury, which showed $4,717,242,524 was In circulation on July 31. The pop ulation of the United States was es timated at 119.906,000. The per capital division for June 30 was given as $39.62, with $39.67 for July 31. 1923 Thlt total amount of money held by the Treasury, by Federal Re serve banks and agents and in circulation was $8 692,885,748 com pared with $8,538,796 for June 30, and $8,142,309,667 for July 31, 1928. We have seen many statements covering the cost of crime, fires, ac cidents, and what not, but no one ever published a statement of the cost of compiling all these statis tic*.—Brunswick Pilot. WITCUFT IS ! BELIEVED III VET -- New York World. Witchcraft In Westchester, New York is a new topic of conversation among the inhabitants of the tow n (?f Pound Ridge since the Rye Na tional Bank of Rye filed its suit against Leland S. Waterbury of High Ridge, town of Pound Ridge, charg ing him with exercising the powcrs j of the "evil eye." Pound Ridge is interested but scheptical. It has known both Water! bury and Howard I. Sarles, the al leged subject of his fascinating pow ers, for many years, and has until now detected no sign of witchcraft I in their relations. The farmers o! the vicinity are unfamiliar with the superstition of the "evil rye," but now that it is brought to their attention they view it with char acteristic Yankee common sense. They are inclined to chuckle as they discuss it. The bank charges Waterbury with getting frem Sarles, the joint de fendant, a deaf mute for whom it is trustee, certain properties' in Pound Ridge by means of casting upon him "a malignant eye." Wa- ! terbury, as well as his neighbors, is inclined to scoff at the ban'-’s determined assertion of his super natural powers. Didn't Specify Eye. "Evil eye!" says Mr. Waterbury. "Do you see anything wrong with my eye? Either one, right or left take your choice. They haven't spe cified." To tlie casual observer. Indeed there is nothing unusual about Mr. Watcrbury's eyes, either of them They are ordinary blue, set in a typical Yankee face. thin ard brown. Their owner is a retired fanner, living on his inherited lard in Pound Ridge with his wife and four-year-old son. He does odd jobs of carpentering now and thtE. to keep himself busy. Waterbury explained the relations between himself and Sarles while he worked on one of his building jobs, supplying the finishing touches to the interior of a new house in Pound Ridge. ‘ Howard and I have been friends all our lives,'' he said, ‘‘and I'm forty-two now and he's forty-nine. We re sort of distant relatives.” He laid down his hammer and sat down on a saw-horse. “I've never minded Howard's ba ling deal and dumb” Waterbury went on, “and we’ve spent a lot of time together.” The bank charges Waterbury “with ulterior motive, ill intent with evil eye, and for the purposes a: c! with the intent of fraudulently and deceitfully acquiring” about twenty four acres of farm land In Pourd Ridge, with a horse and bungalow. It is valued at about $10,000. Tells Of Trust Deed. Sarles, according to Waterbury s story, almost involved himself In I* gal difficulties in 1925 by signing two leases to the property to dif ferent parties. In cider to prevent a repetition of such troubles, Wa terbury says, on May 10, 1926 he had Charles N. Banks, a Mount Kiscoe attorney, draw up a deed of trust to the property, making him its leg<u overseer, but in no way giving him advantage in a financial way. .n case of Sarles s death, the deed spe cifies that the land will go to his heirs. Mr. Banks has corroborated this story. It is this deed which * the bank seeks to recover in the suit which its attorney, Benjamin Taylor, fil'd July 21. H, Archer Baker is presi dent of the bank, and Howard P. Parker vice president. Mr. Parker, to whom all seekers of knowledge on the subject of the "evil eye” are referred, has nothing to say about it. Sarles is staying at the Parker home in Webbs Hill, Stanford, and has not lived in Pound Ridge lor several years. “Why." said Waterbury. "he s really scared of rue now. He s get so he believes that story, and he won't come near me. I'm going to fight the case if it ever comes to court, to prove none of Its true. I've done nothing wrong." The "evil eye" is an ancient su perstition which is still widespread in Europe, Asia and Africa, and its powers have often been quoted as almost limitless. One old record solemnly declares that in an Afri can town a fascinator called Elzaner killed by his evil art no less than eighty persons in two years. In Italy the owner of the evil eye known as the “jettstore,” is still so feared that at his approach people flee in panic. Srttinj Her Straijht.

P. Gregory, vice president in charge of the accident and health rte partment of a large insurance com pany of Pittsburgh, Pa. To support his statement he calls attention to some of the peculiar ae eidents for which indemnity has been paid. Among them are the following: Stabbed By Needle. ■‘Crawled under a bed, and needle lying on the floor ran into breast bone?’' “Undressing for bed In removing union suit fractured second finger on left hand." "Ran against wife -hair cuidcr struck eye.” “Yawning—dislocated Jaw." “Washing hands—shook water off hands and dis’oeated finger." Fell While Talking. "While reciting made gesture fell and sprained hip." "Walking along street—straw hat struck me in the eye." "At office shaking hands with a friend—sprained thumb." ‘ Right eye damaged by feather in hat of lady riding beside me in au to.” "On private yacht. Had highball and just stood up when boat gave a lurch. Sat down on glass " Hurt By Horse Tooth. “Taking orders—horse walked across street to my horse. I took hold of the bridle to pull him away. He dropped dead and taeth struck foot, fracturing toes.” “Hands cut by fish line. I was fishing for bass and accidentally caught a shark." “I was assaulted and my nose broken by a drunken person who evidently thought 1 was some one else.” And finally there is the strange case of a man who, two weeks after being compensated for a finger lost in a buzz saw. reported he had lost another finger while showing a friend how the first accident hap pened.
