The purpose of these maneuverings has been to break down the Idea that MrAdoo is agreesively hostile to the railroads, that he intends if elected to fight the present railroad manage ment and if possible bring about a re-establishment of federal control of the railroads. • This is the one big hurdle that has stood in McAdoo's way in the minds rf the large scale constructive busi ness executives throughout the coun try. Friends of McAdoo in Omaha, who have been keeping in close touch with the situation, say that this objection has been overcome. As a result of this it Is now said that the large scale railroad execu tives and the financial interests that are associated with and interested in the continuance of private manage ment of railroads are incinled to be for McAdoo, rather than against him. Gray Is Named The maneuverings say thess Om aha friends of McAdoo have center el around big railroad executives who were associated with McAdoo in the conduct of the United States rail road administration during the war end accounts for the information that lms come out of New York in the list few days to the effect that should McAdoo fall to secure the nomination he would throw Ills sup ^ port to Carl It. Gray, president of the * -1 nion Pacific system; Mr. Gray was r distant director of the United States railroad administration under McAdoo and in charge of operations of all lines under federal control. In addition to Mr. Gray there was as sociated with McAdoo. Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the executive commltte of the Union Pacific sys tem. Mr. Lovett was assistant, di rector of the railroad administration in charge of finance. Another large scale executive who was associated with McAdoo in the railroad adminis tration Is John Barton Payne, vwho was assistant director In charge of legal matters. While Mr. Payne is rot a railroad man, he was at one time head of an Influential law firm in Chicago, which handled a great deal of railroad business and he is therefor*, familiar with the inner workings of railroad matters, par ticularly from the standpoint of rail road finance.

N. I,n Porte of the Life Extension insti tute, who Is interested in helping us life longer. An average of 160,000 examinations a year for 41 insurance companies are made by the institute In order to advise people of the cor rect care of their henlth to insure longer life. There Is little use in wait ing until the human machine has broken down, says La Porte. Expert advice and enre should he taken of the body so there would he small chance for a breakdown. Theory of the Institute officials Is that, if people- would submit them selves periodically for physical ex amination and hen follow out sug gestions made by the 8.U00 physicians throughout the country employed hv the Institute, human life would be prolonged an average of 15 years. The life Extension institute was founded In 1913 with the co-operation of Harold A. Ley, Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale, former President Taft, Robert W. de Forest. Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk and other not able men. At the end of five yenrg, n check-up was made to see If the examinations did help to prolong life.

Binderup Loses Suit After Four Weeks in Court Judge Woodrough Upholds Motion for Dismissal Made by Film Com pany Attorneys. I-’ederal Judge Woodrough late Thursday sustained an argument supporting a motion to dismiss the $75*1,000 film suit brought by Charles S. Binderup. Minden, Neb., against 18 New York film corporations. The argument that consumed four days was made after a trial that took up almost four weeks. Binderup broke all records for remaining In the witness box when he testified for two weeks, Binderup charged that the film corporations had violated the Sher man anti trust act. He was former operator of a circuit of motion pic ture houses in southeastern Ne braska and charged he was unable to get any films. Attorneys for Binderup stated that they would Immediately file an ap peal with the circuit court. Judge Woodrough'* opinion was written on 16 pages, legal foolscap. No Evidence of Trust. "There Is no evidence that the de fendants violated the Sherman anti trust act.” said Woodrough. "It l» evident that some members of the hoard of trade organized hy the film man expressed their belief that Bind erup was doing What the ycalled 'crooked' work. "Indeed, the evidence shows that more than one person came before the hoard and charged that such was the case and about noncompetitive conditions In Binderup'* territory there was no question whatever with them, no more thnn there can he with us here on this trial. "The evidence shows that Binderup had such secret and special arrange ments with distributors, not unlawful in themselves, but practically making his territory a closed one. "All the defendants did. by their conduct, was to bring about an end to this condition and to open this territory to competition, and by so doing were In their rights.” Woodrougli further in hi* opinion declared that he wa* tinahle to figure cut any basis upon which an estima tion of damage could he made. To Be Appealed. Binderup, although disappointed with the decision, stated he would sepk an appeal. Dan Van Deusen, aaaociated with Irving Baxter. Norris Brown and At torney Vandeberry of Minden In the case, stated that "It is proper that my comments should bo made In a hlshcr court upon an appeal. The fight against the defendants with un limited means at their disposal has been a drain upon the resources of my client and this only may prevent an appeal.' "As a citizen I am Impressed with the helplessness of a single Individual in seeking relief from the evils at which the Sherman anti trust arl are directed. It Is hard to keep one'* faith undiminished. Apparently a decialon In the supreme court of the Fnlted States Is not ns persuasive ns I had supposed.

Governor William S. Flynn declared that “an attempt has been made to poison the lieutenant governor."

Florence, Nab.It Talcs of Sinclair Oil Contract Linked With Matleotti Slaying Graft and Gambling Rumored to Have Played Important Part in Kidnaping of Italian Deputy Which Almost Caused Downfall of Mussolini Government. By HAYDEN TALBOT. I nlversol Service Staff Correspondent. London, June 19.—Mysterious ru mors sifting through the Italian cen sorship continue to line up with the kidnaping and slaying of the social ist deputy Matteotti stories of graft in oil and gambling which, it Is now asserted, had an important part in the murder which almost caused the downfall of the Mussolini govern ment. In London at this moment Is a prominent Italian, nn* of Premier Mussolini's closest confidants and a member of the original fascist!. From this, source. Universal Service is able to outline the facts concerning the oil contract made a month ago betyeen the Italian government and Harry Sinclair, American oil magnate. Per mission to publish the story is con ditioned on keeping the name of my Informant a secret. Here is the oil story as told by this authority: Two Exceptions. "When Premier Musaolln! com pelled the chamber of deputies to ac cept without amendment several hun dred decrees which he himself had drafted, he carefully made two excep tions. Legislation regarding oil con cessions and gambling, the premier told the deputies, must be settled by them, as he had an open mind as far aa these two matters were concerned. "Therefore, it was the entire par liament which debate dand finally de cided to let Sinclair have two conces sions—one in Sicily and the other in northern Italy. On the face of it, the contract seems absurd from Sinclair's standpoint, as it is for a very limited time and becomes void unless Sinclair does an almost Impossible amount of development work. Works With Standard Oil. “On the other hand, it is thor oughly well known in banking cir cles that Sinclair is working hand in I glove with Standard OH and that last year's Standard Oil proflts from sales to the Italian government were 300,000,000 lire. It does not take much imagination to see that Stand ard OH wants to keep this great mar ket to itself. "From this viewpoint Sinclair’s contract is not so silly—if it has the effect of killing all competition. "Two men, about whom rumors have been spreading through Rome for many months—Finzl and Rossi— have been most inaccurately de scribed in London newspapers. 1’n doubtedly Rossi's flight from Italy has gone far to justify these rumors. He is a relatively poor man and in his official capacity as chief of the press bureau unquestionably did a great deal to influence public opinion to reconcile Itself to the turning over of the oil concession* to a foreigner. "Fascism is well rid of Rossi. If he Is in London, a* Is suspected, he cer tainly will be apprehended and re turned to Italy. Always t'nder Suspicion. "Finzi is an entirely different mat ter. In the first place it is a mis take to say that he, as secretary of the interior, had any power in oil matters. In Italy the national re sources are presided over by the secretary' of national economics. "His demand that he be permitted to face his accusers now, ha* gone for to justify those of us who know him in believing that he is able to prove his innocence. "Four of the five actual kidnap pers of Deputy MatteoUi have been caught. I know them all. They are former anarchists snd bad criminals. From my own knowledge. Deputy MatteoUi had less accurate knowledge of graft in Italy, for whlchc knowl edge he Is reputed to have been slain, than Rooea, who Is still a deputy, but Premier Mussolini Intends to dis cover the graft»rs without the aid of the opposition.’’ Greer Freed of Shooting Charge, Then Rearrested Formrr Chauffeur of Mabel INormand Accused of Hav ing Liquor in Room After Dines Wounded.

Klan Plank Battle Looms New York, June 19.—The maneuv ering* and cogitation* of the assem bling leader* of the democratic party are entering upon the usual pre-con vention stage of feverish conjecture, bewildering claim and general uncer tainty. With the two dominating candidate* for the presidency In active charge of their convention forces and with other first raters in party council* arriving hourly, the dominant note still is one of almost universal specu lation over the outcome of the com ing contest over men and measure. Out of the maze of talk and the matching of opinions there Is emerg ing only the faint outline of a con vention city's political sky-line. Pre eminent for the moment, perhaps, are the mounting claims of the McAdoo men and the enthusiasm and appar ent confidence of the followers of At Smith. looming in the background, however, are the presidential light ning rods of a dozen lesser candidates whose sponsors appear confident that in the end the nomination of a dark horse will break up a long and spec tacular deadlock. Threat of Hitler right. Rising into the picture, too, I* the threat of a bitter fight over amand onment of the traditional party rule requiring two-thirds of the convention vote to nominate, while around the fringe* of the big convention tent rival platform builders are disputing with growing heat the form of party declaration* on probltlon, foreign pol icy and the Ku Klux Klan. Outwardly, at least, the support ers of William G. McAdoo are mak ing the greatest show of confidence over the outcome of the balloting for president. They declare their candi date will have close to a majority on the first roll call and will become the standard hearer of the party not late, than the lucky seventh. But tne driv ing force of the enthusiasm that 1* behind the Smith boom Is no less con vincing. when it is separated from the convention swirl and studied sub jectively, and the champions of Sena tor Underwood and a long list of oth er* argue quite convincingly that neither McAdoo nor Smith evpr tan be nominated.

Rumor* of park Horse* It i* plain enough, however, that if the leaders ill are to he eliminated by a prolonged deadlock, the choice of a compromise candidate must wait until the temper of the convention Itself has been assessed after the early balloting.

But those In the inner circle of party leader ship scree that the time has not vet come for reclusive gatherings to pick a winner. So far as I he physical arrange ments for the convention are con cerned. little remains to be done In that respect, the great quadrennial gathering Is much further advanced than many of the leaders expected it to tie five days before ths fall of the gavel.
