Seek to Avert Break By Ainw-latrd Press. ^ Drs Moines, la.. Oct. 1.—Iowa poli tics. which has harbored an element of division since Smith W. Brook hart waB nominated and elected to the United States senate two years ago without the full support of the state republican organization, tonight was charged with another uncer tainty arising from the senator's lat est difference with state party lead ers—his denunciation of Charles G. Dawes, republican vice presidential nominee. While members of the Rtate cen tral committee were preparing to meet here tomorrow to discuss Brookhart’s demand that Dawes withdraw from the ticket, supporters of the senator declined to discuss the matter. Neither group would com ment for publication on published re ports that the committee might con sider a disavowal of the senator. State Central Committee Chairman B. B. Burnquist issued a statement declaring that any candidate who re fused to support the national ticket of his party did not merit thd sup port of his state party organization, but added that this should not be Interpreted as meaning an effort would be made at tomorrow’s com mittee meeting to censure the sena tor. Work to Avert Break. „ A demand that the committee de clare Brookhart out of the party was voiced during the day by Luther A. Brewer, prominent republican ■who recently entered the campaign as an independent semtoria! candi date, on the premise that the sens tor vms not doing all he might for other republ cans on the ticket. ** Members of the state central com mittee, it is known, have endeavored to avert an open break with Senator Brookhart in order to preserve the strength of the national ticket in Iowa and many members of the party believed tonight that this pol icy would lie continued, although others pointed to the Dawes letter and declared it probably was the first of a number of assaults on the na tional ticket by the senator and that it would he better for the committee to take a definite stand and pos sibly bring the vice presidential can didate into Iowa for a strenuous campaign. Dawes In Iowa Today 1 Opposed to the latter suggestion yt was the speculation that Brookhart •>C wished to support the La Follette Wheeler ticket in principle and that A he m ght be endeavoring to place the J committee in a position where it would be forced to declare him out of the party, rather than to deliber ately cast ashl" what support he has from thf- organization. The incident tended to focus inter est on .Senator Bruokharl's opening campaign speech at Emmettsburg Friday afternoon, where, it has been reported, he would more clearly set forth his differences w.th republican organization leaders, both state and Hat ional. Dawes will have an opportunity to reply to Senator Brookhart’s charges that he has disrupted the campaign in the west tomorrow, when he crosses the state for the second time during his campaign, with addresses »*, scheduled for Davenport and Musca tine.

IJy HAYDEN T A I,HOT Universal Service Staff Correspondent. London, Oct. 1. — Imogent “Bubbles” Wilson is hunting a job in London—theater, cabaret or film, preferred. Fortified with a "good luck kiss” from Frank Tinney, she started out this morning making the rounds of theatrical offices—in spite of the fact that she passed the British immigration officials when she arrived last Saturday at Plymouth only by stating that she would be in England "a few days” before departing for the continent. As many American actors know by bitter experience It is impossible to enter England un less armed with a contract unless the entrant swears he has no in tention of appearing profession ally. ‘'Bubbles” Is Broke The reason "Bubbles” Is seeking work is twofold. She is "crazy about Frank Tinney,” according to an admission made to an acquaint ance at the Metropole last night, where she was present to watch Frank's debut as a cabaret per former at the Midnight Follies, and she is broke. Although she admits she was getting $900 a week at a New Eng land coast resort shortly before sailing, she had to pawn her fur coat in New York and get addi tional financial help from her sis ter. Bobby Grey, Tinney'a negro valet, also hail to borrow money to buy a ticket, and neither of them had money enough while aboard the Columbus to pay for the many wireless messages both sent to Tinney. An obliging fellow passenger furnished the necessary sums. When they landed in England, “Bubbles” and Bobby had between them less than $15. Tinney to Stay Year. In the meantime, Tinney insists that he never cabled "Bubbles” to come and join him, but that he ignored a cable from his valet, which in effect, suggested that Tinney cable Imogens not to some. Tinney says he is now negotiat ing for a vehicle in which he ex pects to play for a solid year in London, at the end of which time he hopes the scandal about him will have been forgotten sufficiently to permit him to return to Mew York. Apparently "Bubbles” pur poses remaining an equal length of time, the only obstacle to that pro gram being the lack of a Job. Whatever happens, Tinney has hi his possession, so I am informed, an “I O U” signed by Imogene for $200,000, the amount of damages she claims in her lawsuit against Frank. At the moment, Tinney is said to be drawing down a weekly income of $1,350 from the Empire theater and $1,000 from the Metrnpole. G. 0. P.

Th« fat* of lha craw It unknown Protocol Means New Peace Era Statesmen for France and England Pledge Support to Plan for Amicable Future Settlements. Briand Waxes Eloquent II Asmkiut<<l PkM« Geneva, Oct. 1.—A warning that wars baaed on economic reasons may menace the world in the future was issued by Aristide Briand, many times premier of France, today, when, with that same lire of eloquence and emotion which stirred Ills auditors at the Washington naval conference, he called upon all nations to approve the protocol for pacific settlement of international disputes and pledged there and then France’s adhesion without reservations whatsoever. The amended protocol of arbitration and security occupied the attention of the assembly of the league and a gen eral report by Dr. Benes and M. Points, representing the two commis sions which jointly framed the dccu ment, accompanied it, furnished an explanation of the various changes made in the original protocol. Numerous speakers gave thsjr views at the afternoon session, which adjourned until 9:30 in the evening, but it was M. Briand who aroused the assembly with his words In behalf of France. “FVance Wants Peace." "Men may say." continued the for mer premier, ‘that economic wars are possible because the Interests of nations may be swayed by the same considerations as the interests of selfish Individuals, and that under the Influence of selfish interests the ideal and duty may be observed or mutilated. Tomorrow. therefore, having now settled political questions the league of nations must settle completely the difficult economic problems But France will be ever ready to help In their solution.’’ M. Briand painted a picture of France prostrated by a war which had been forced upon her and as a land yearning for eternal peace, and attacked ‘perfidious propagandists who have represented France as a nation bristling with bayonets and endeavoring to domina’e the world and realize an abominable dream of supremacy.” No country, he said, more ardently desired to get rid of the burden of armament than Francs, achd France stands ready as soon as her securltv was assured to run In the vanguard and help In the solution of the problems f f the reduction of arma ments. He was convinced that the protocol today presented meant a ! new era and he believed that the man In the street would hall it. re joicing that the statesmen had at list made war seemingly impossible. Kngland Accepts. Knglgpd, through Lord Parmoor ■ president of the council, did not go as far as France, merely announcing its acceptance of the resolution trnne mitting the protocol to the govern ments, but promising to exert all the influence of the British government and parliament to ratify it. The «I»eaker tn*oited that the protocol represented no Rttempt to make the council or the assembly of the league a super state, with authority over the various governments. Such an at tempt would court Inevitable failure. •'Neither the council nor the assem bly,” he continued, ‘‘will have any power to Interfere in international af fairs lievond what is already compre hended In the covenant, that Is to say, not until a stage has been reached which means war or a threat of war, at which stage a new condi tion arises and w# enter Into the sphere of International law.” If the worst happened, and economic sanction against any aggressor proved Insufficient and force of arms must lie resorted to. he added, the council would have neither troops nor ships at Its disposal, but every government must decide for itself what It could do to help the victim of the aggressor.

Hoover Speaks in Milwaukee at Dairv Congress Secretary Says Future of Ag riculture Marketing Lies in Development of Co Operative Program. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. I—The fu ture of marketing agricultural prod ucts lies In the larger development of co-operative programs with the prin cipal purpose of eliminating waste, Herbert Hoover, secretary of com merce, declared in an address here tonight at an American Dairy federa tion banquet given in connection with the National Dairy show. The secretary proposed a plan for the creation of a federal marketing board to aid farm producers in such waste elimination. This board, if created, he said, should be composed of sevreal cabinet members, a majdr ity membership from among co-opera tives and a minority from the ranks of terminal market association to be organized under the plan. It would have power, he added, to establish standards in co-operation with pro ducers and the Department of Agri culture and bring about co-operation with the department in amplifying inspection and certification to the end that all interstate goods could be shipped on standards certified to by federal authority it would give in formation that would lessen chaos In shipments, he said. "Present marketing of farm prod ucts is wasteful," Secretary Hoover said. “The whole problem of Im proved marketing Is el.mination of waste. The time has come when we must take strong and definite steps in the future development of co operative marketing. The agricul tural co-operative, when right’} adapted to its work can obtain cer tain advantages in distribution.'* The secretary sounded a warning, however, against assuming that co operali -n is a complete s lution to the problem of marketing all agri cultural products. He also advised against adopting a program based on European systems. "The American system cannot be successfully built on the experience of Europe where marketing is local in character,” the secretary said In concluding his remarks. Former Governor Frank O. Low den of Illinois spoke briefly. BANK HORTAGE OF $100,000 FOUND Grand Rapid*. M.ch..
