Charges Calles Obregon Plotted to Murder Two Lardeo, Texas, Prosecutor Speaks as Washington Intimates That He Acted Unjustly. Lardeo, Tex., Aug. 30. The re cently assassinated president-elect of Mexico, General Alvaro Obregon, and President Plutarco Elias Calles were accused of implication in the assas sination of two Mexican army offi cers here in 1922 by John A. Vails, district attorney here, in reply made public today by diplomatic represen tations from Waishington growing out of the Mexican government threat to remove ite consulate from Laredo. Prosecution against Obregon was dropped because of his death, Mr. Vails said, adding. "But the prose cution against Calles and his fellow conspirator will remain pending, with the fervent hope that some day they will be called to answer for their enormous crime at the bar of justice in Webb count-." How Threat Arose. Mr. Vails indicated that his ac cusations were made in answer to implications from Washington that J he had unjustly refused to admit to I his office representatives of the pres ent government of Mexico and had declined to cultivate friendly rela tions with them. The alleged threat from Mexico City with regard to removal of the consulate followed the arrest of the Nacha Macias .consulate attache, re cently as he walked near a church, where he was alleged to have re marked that a Mexican refugee then addressing a large audience in the edifice would "not speak again." Taken before Mr. Vails, Macias de clared he was abused. From the re port to Mexico City grew a threat that the Mexican consul here would be removed, a step which would have prevented the important export busi ness between the two countries be ing continued through this., port of entry. j Won't Detail Charges. ' "There is in my possession evi dence connecting Alvaro Obregon and Plutarco Elia3 Calles with the mur der of General Lucio Blanco and Colonel Aurelio Martinez committed in this city on June 7, 1927," said Vall3, "I have prove that Obregon and Calles, acting together with oth er Mexican officials, entered into a conspiracy to kidnap and murder these officers." Mr. Vails said he would not de tail the evidence in his possession. U. S. Officials Silent. Washington. Aug. 30. State de partment officials said tonight that they had no comment to make on the statement attributed to John A. Vails, district attorney at Lardeo. Tex., that the late General Alvaro Obregon and President Calles of Mex ico were implicated in the death of the two Mexican army officers who were" killed in Laredo in 1922. World-Herald.

High Lights of Senator Robin son's Addre ss Vive-Presidential Nominee of Party Gives Strong Speech in Accep tance of the Honor From Friday's Daily Notified last evening at the Arl ington Hotel at Hot Springs, Ar kansas, of the vice presidential nom ination by the democratic party Senator Joe T. Robinson of Arkansas gave a ringing response and of which a few of the outstanding feature were: "Viimerniia nnlitical RPrnpntu art hissing in the dark and striking irom cover, ana wun rrnumous mal ice seeks to poison the thoughts and arouse the prejudice of those whe will decide issues of far reaching im portance. "Snund nnhlir. iiolicv eneouracref full, frank and fearless discussion of issues and records, it discounten ances misrepresentation, perversion and falsehood, "The spokesman of a party proves himself unworthy if he know ingly accepts advantages from false- hood, even though not uttered oi inspired by himself. "The plan announced by Mr. oover for the alleged relief of agriculture contemplated the contraction of the farm industry so that production in excess of the home demand would be eliminated, and the export field left entirely to the industrial export er. "The Republican party is cithei incapable of successfully dealing with the (farm) question or has de liberately violated its express pro mises to the farmers of the na tion. "Mr. Hoover, as the President's trusted adviser, is perhaps more directly responsible for the failure of farm relief legislation during thr eight years referred to than othei single political leader. "Will the farmers of the United States, who have waited eight years for Mr. Hoover and his associates to serve them, accept the tariff as a remedy for repression in farm pro ducts whose domestic prices are con trolled in markets not shielded by the tariff wall, "If the farmers of the VniW States must wait until transportation rates are suffici2ut;y redu-.rI by meaBR of .waterways4JtpJring their prosperity, they may as weli ur the fight and accept the humiliation and ruin which has threatened them throughout the last eight years. "We repudiate Mr. Hoover's pro posal to limit farm products to the domestic demand, as calculated tc belittle, rather than to ,-encouragc the great industry of agricul ture. "The Democratic party recognizes the right of farmers to lead in tlu development of farm policies. "The Democratic party recognizee - that adequate credit facilitier and better administration of thr Farm Loan system (must) be as ers. "The necessity is recognized by the Democratic party for an organ ized agriculture through which the farmer may work out and apply his own remedies, as well as receive government aid, through a Fereda" Farm Board. "If a more equitable and effective plan than that comprised by th' equalization fee is discovered, it should be adopted. "The (Democratic) conventior recognized that the Democratic Par ty is neither a prohibition nor ar anti-nrnhihltinn organization, but if entrusted with power Its duty would be to enforce all laws. - "To one who for twenty-five year? has uniformly supported measurer for prohibition, it has been disap- pointing to note tne meinoas am agencies employed by the Republican party in the enforcement of national prohibition laws. 'The (prohibition) question should not be treated as merely political but rather as moral and econ omic. 'rrpsifjfnt Wilson vetoed the Vol stead Act. The integrity of his pur pose was not questioned; nis goor faith was generally conceded. "Governor Smith's position is an unqualified acceptance of the obliga tion to enforce the (prohibition) law to the best of his ability. "Throughout the last two adminis trations the Prohibition Bureau has been under the Treasury Depart ment, whose head, pr,ior to national prohibition, was largely interested in the liquor business. "It is in no sense an attempt ai nullification to suggest changes ii the Constitution of the laws. "Many Republicans condemn the indifference of their leaders to thf ignominious record a reci.r 1 whi'h never could have been made if th watchmen on the to--fa had not fallen asleep. START OFF THE WORK From Saturday's tall This morning the first ground was broken for the new creamery build ing on the lots at the corner of Richey and Main streets. Andy Wein berg, who is to have charge of the building was on the ground when the work started and states that President W. F. Nolte of the cream ery company, John Halmes and Mike Lutz were the parties to shovel the first dirt that will mark the site of tie fine modern creamery ancj which building Is expected to bt ready tuv occupancy in the month of October.

Curtis Holds His Audience in Downpour Renews Pledge of Republican Party for Higher Protective Tariff as Aid to Farmers. Harrisburg, Pa., Aug.- 31. Re newing his pledge for a higher pro tective tariff. Senator Curtis, Repub lican vice presidential nominee Thursday told a gathering of Penn sylvania farmers that the democrats proposed to remodel the tariff act along line of the Underwood bill of 1913. "They want to let down the bars protecting American agricultural products," he declared. Speaking at an outdoor Grangers' picnic at Williams grove, near the city, the senator was interrupted by a sharp downpour of rain. As some of the huge throng in the crowd started for shelter, Curtis ceased buf several shouted "go ahead." ' Speaks in Rain, "I can stand it if you can,." he replied from the protected platform, "and I'll come down there in the rain and shake hands with you when I am through." The rain fell intermittently but the crowd was protected by trees and it stayed through, cheering his plea for election of Herbert Hoover and his reiteration of the-prediction that the agricultural situation "will be worked out at the next session of congress." When he had concluded the sun was out and the nominee re mained to shake hands with many of the crowd who came to the stand.. Speaking without references to a prepared address. Senator Curtis re cited statistics showing the decrease in importations of agricultural and dairy imports under the present tar iff act as compared with the demo cratic tariff law. Shows Tax Drop. The senator said that "one of the democratic candidates," referring to Governor Smith, "had stated recently that taxes hadn't really been reduc ed because there was as much rev enue being collected as ever." He read a table showing that a married man with two dependents under the 1918 revenue law paid S60 tax on S3. 000 and no tax today; $120 on a $4,000 income and $5.63 today and so on. Omaha Bee-News. MINERS TO OFFER DEMAND Chicago, Aug, 30 Sub-committees of Illinois Mine-Workers will meet in conference at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, presumably prepared to announce a definite wage scale de mand. It was rumored tonight, as the day's session adjuarned, that such a scale had been tentatively agreed upon. Illinois mine operators, the ma jority of whom closed their work . ings last year when they declared they were unable to pay miners $7.50 a day and compete with non-union coal fields, remained late in . their offices prepared to meet at once if the miners' committee an nounced an agreement. Both miners and operators are now in the fifth week of conferences here. LOCOMOTIVE INCREASE The number of locomotives in ser vice on Class I railroads increased from 58,071 in 1911 to 61,317 in 1927. It is interesting to note, how- , ever that with this gain of less than 6 in the number of power units, the railroads handled 72 more , freight traffic in 1927 than 16 years j before and still had surplus power in i reserve. Higher speed of trains is only a partial explanation, the chief reason being the greatly increased j tractive power of the average loco motive which since 1911 has risen from 28,305 to 42,503 pounds. ATTACK MADE ON BORAH Quebec, Que., Aug. 29. Declaring that a statement credited to William E. Borah, republican. United States senator from Idaho, on the Canadian liquor situation, was "contrary to facts, and deserves only to be scorn ed," Premier Taschereau of Quebec today said he felt "sure that our good United States neighbors will thoro ly disapprove Senator Borah for slandering a friendly country." Senator Borah last week at Boise said that the Canadian situation was one where liquor rcas plentiful, cor ruption, wufc flagrant and bootleg ging universal. m Smith Tour to Gain White House New York Newspaper Declares That Plans Under Way for Trip September 19. New York, Aug. 29. The New York Times will say tomorrow that railroad preparations now under way indicate that Governor Smith will leave by Sept. 19 for an eleven day trip on which he will make seven speeches in as many cities in the in termountain states, the middlewest and the southwest. The first stop will be at Omaha, Neb., at a date not yet announced. Stops probably will be scheduled at Chicago, St. Louis, Salt Lake City, Helena, Mont.; Colorado Springs and at some city in Idaho. The candidate also may visit Yellowstone National park in Wyoming. On Oct. 1 the governor will be at Rochester, N. Y., to address the state democratic committee and thereafter will start on a southern tour, pre parations for which are in the hands of the advisory committee. In the south it is probable that he will appear at Raleigh, N. C, near the end of September, and tentative arrangements have been made for at least one speech in Tennessee, prob ably at Chattanooga, and one in Ken tucky, probably at Louisville. Streets Clear of Politics. Syracuse, N. Y., Aug. 29. Gov nor Smith spoke for half an hour to night before the "farm dinner" giv en by Jerome D. Barnum, Syracuse publisher, but refrained from discus sion of national politics or the farm problem. Confining the serious phases of his talk to the cost of government, par ticularly as it applies to states and local communities, the democratic presidential nominee defended his own record with regard to appro priations for the state of New York and appealed for a reorganization and overhauling of town and county governments. Cheered by Crowds. Syracuse, N. Y., Aug. 29 Wel comed by a cheering crowd, Gover nor Smith came to Syracuse late to day for his annual visit to the New York state lair and to attend a "farm dinner" given by Jerome D. Barnum, publisher of a Syracuse newspaper. Altho he was traveling In the role of chief executive of the state and intended to deliver only non-political speeches while here, admirers who greeted him showed by their ovation that they also took into account his candidacy for the presidency. At the end of a six hour train ride from New York, the democratic nom inee found a station platform clear ed by a detachment of state troopers and city police. Forming a protec tive circle, the officers escorted him to the end of the train shed where a crowd purged in, cheering the gover nor and his wife. State Journal. 'WILSON WAS WET, TOO' ' Harrisburg, Pa., Aug. 30. Declar ing the wet and dry issue is not a test of true democracy, Thomas P. Gore, former United States senator from Oklahoma, told a gathering of farmers at Williams Grove, near here, yesterday, that "Woodrow Wil son was as wet as Al Smith." - "Wilson." he said, "not only veto- ed the Volstead act, but sent a wet 'plank to the San-Francisco conven tion with the hope that it would be incorporated in the party's platorm. While governor of New Jersey he also sent a letter to the head of the Anti-Saloon league of the state re fusing to be a party to the league's activities." Gore launched an attack against Herbert Hoover and blamed him for the present farm depression in the country, as well as charging the Harding and Coolidge administra tions with parading a prosperity "myth" before the voters.

Wrecked Plane Sighted in Dense New York Woods i Bodies of Fliers Were Not Found, as Observers Could Not Land Think Both Fliers Killed New York, Aug. 29. The Curtiss Falcon biplane in which Mazel M. Marrill and Edwin Ronne disappear ed Monday night while on a flight from Buffalo to Curtiss field, N. Y.. was found wrecked late today atop a thickly wooded hill near Port Jervi.. N. Y. The wrecked plane belonged to Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. The wreckage was found by J. Nel son Kelly, a Fairchild pilot, and one cf scores of aviators who participated in a systematic search for the miss ing fliers. Kelly returned to New York by train tonight and said that the searchers had not been able to ap proach close enough to the wreckage to determine the fate of the two fliers. He said he was positive that the wrecked plane was the orange colored biplane in which Merrill and Ronne disappeared. Kelly, accompanied by William A. Leviolette and C. P. Moore, was fly ing between 1,200 and 1,500 feet above the woods 10 miles west of Port Jarvis. There they saw the piled up wreckage of the plane. A path cut through the tops of the trees on top of the highest point o;i Merrill's course from Buffalo to Cur tiss field attracted the attention cf Leviolette. Kelly brought the plant: down to approximately 150 feet. Landing Impossible. Kelly said a landing at the spot was impossible and he returned to Port Jervis after satisfying himself that the wreckage was that of the plane flown by Merrill. He said that neither he nor his companions was able to see anyone near the wreck age. Although the bodies of Merrill and Ronne were not located, searchers said they had no doubt but that they were in the wreckage. The plane was the one in which Lindbergh had been forced down, and it was reported that he put out a fire with a hand extinguisher. World-Herald.
