Now Boost
for M’Adoo
Riportfd Californian Has
Leaped Hurdle Between
Him and Big
Executives.
€ood Chance for Ralston
MrAdoo boosters In Omaha, who
have struck back at the poison tele
grams with which friends of A1
Smith had flooded Nebraska, took
the offensive yesterday and revealed
pome Inside information about the
Wianeuverlngs of the last few weeks,
which they say will bring their can
didate safely through the New York
convention as the democratic nomi
nee.
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.

Life Extension Institute, lur.,
New York,
An automobile Is examined and
kept In good repair to prolong its
usage, so -why shouldn't our bodies
have just the same care, asks A. 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.
The result showed a 2S tier cent re
duction of mortality on one group of
policy holders. Thirty physician* are
kept on duty dally at tint New York

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. I ani confident the
evidence convicts the defendant*."

Legislature Recesses
Providence, R. I., June in,—As a
result of the loosing of poisonous
fumes in the state senate chamber,
the republican .members, who con
stitute a majority, today refused to
attend the senate session and were
arrested on a warrant obtained by
lieutenant Governor Felix A. Toupin,
democratic president of the senate.
Senator Arthur A. Sherman, repub
lican floor leader, was In a hospital
suffering from the effects of the gas
and High Sheriff Jonathan Andrews
refused to force the IS other repub
licans to enter the senate chamber.
The large wad of gauze soaked In a
liquid, thought to contain chlorine,
was found wrapped in newspapers tn
curtains behind the rostrum sfter the
fumes had spread through the cham
ber. The persons nearest the parcel
were Mr. Toupin and other demo
crats, but with one exception the
only senators who complained of the
effects of the gas were republicans.
Mr. Toupin declared that he was “in
first rate shape" and other demo
crats asserted that the republicans
were “bluffing" as to their condition
so as to absent themselves from the
chamber and hold up the senate pro
ceedings.
Governor William S. Flynn declared
that “an attempt has been made to
poison the lieutenant governor." His
lieutenants joined with the local
police in an investigation to discover
who had placed impromptu “bomb.”
Sheriff Andrews, in support of his
refusal to compel attendance by the
republican, produred a certificate
signed by Dr. Herbert E. Harris stat
ing that the senators he had examin
ed were unfit, for duty. Mr. Toupin
then obtained a warrant for their ar
rest and the republicans were escort
ed from the building under police
guard. The lieutenant governor de
rlared a recess and a meeting of
democrats was held In the governor a
office to discuss legal steps to meet
the sheriff's refusal.

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.’’

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.
Ths observer ran only pay his
money and take his choice, unless he
care* to accept the prediction* of
some of the old timer* who are say
Ing it will be a long convention with
the outcome hidden from the vision
of all mortal men until the very end.
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. The lobby talk is
alive with the name* of possible dark
horses, and rumor* of a shift to this
or that favorite son gy thick where
ever s knot of delegate* gather foi
a moment * conversation. 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. The national committee
is to meet Saturday to give perfunc
torp approval to the re-convention ar
rangements of its subcommittee but
there probably will be no other bus!
ness before it. There is only one
threat of * contest over convention
seats. Involving two delegates from
Minnesota, but there is no certainty
that e\en that will materialize.
Seating Plans Complete
The seating plan* fnr the ronven
lion In Madison Square Garden are
complete and the tickets for Tues
day's opening session have been si
lotted. The New York |>ollce have
perfected plans to throw three sepa

that ever congregated in the neigh

No contest is expected over the
selection of any of those who will
have the places of prominence in

possible exception of a chairmen of
