' Wall Street was booming
: again yesterday, dividing pub
lic interest, in New York, with
' the opening of the baseball
season.
" '.'
New York, ij; "where the
money is," once supplied near
- ly half the business of Wall
" Street. Now New Yorkers do
only 1 0 per cent of the specu
lating; 90 per cent is scattered
throughout the country. .
'
This means a stock speculat
ing craze is nationwide.
Those that buy what they
can pay. for, and keep it, may
sleep soundly.
. : But those gambling will
worry, when the time comes,
"and how," as the current say
ing goes.
At present business is "step
ping up." There is an improve
ment all along the line, and no
storms are in sight. ' ,
Among republican candi
dates for the presidency,. Her-
bert Hoover leads by a good
Minrgin over his nearest com
petitor, Governor Lowden.
As for the democrats, Gov
ernor Smith, of New York, is so
far in the lead that there is no
oecond worth mentioning. The
governor has now safely secur
ed 354 votes, within 14 of the
highest number of delegates
voting for him in 1924.
It seems a pity to make dele
gates go all the way to Houston
' to find out what they know al
ready. It is pretty hard to beat King
George of England, the elec
tion in Chicago proves it. How
ever, one primary will not dis
courage "Big Bill" Thompson.
He is mayor, and will continue
to act as such, primary or no
primary.
Jugo-Slavs have added two
A new submarines to their naval
equipment at Cattaro. It may
interest you to remember that
the undersea boats are named
"Nctojscha" and "Hrabhi."
Many fighting Jugd-Slav hy
droplanes accompany the sub
marines to their base. Jugo
slavia expects trouble from
Mussolini,
c , Uncle Sam, like the ostrich,
has a better plan. He puts his
head in the sand, counts his
money and hopes for the best.
Were Mark Hanna alive he
would be interested in the Illi
nois election and surprised to
hear that his daughter, Mrs.
Ruth Hanna McCormick, is
probably chosen congressman
at large.
Lindbergh took 36 young
f Pacific girls up in the air in in

those charming creatures some
thing to talk about forever.
Women may thank" the good
Lord for granting the flying

average, as well as any man,

WASHINGTON, ! April ; 13. A
strong defense of Secretary Hoover
against charges that he has usurp.
ea some ot tne powers of the agri
culture department and otherwise
has worked to Injure the farmer
was made today by Secretary Jar-
dine.
In a letter dated April 11 and
made public today, the agriculture
secretary told Charles S. Wilson,
former commissioner of agriculture
of New York state and now a farm
er at Hall, New York, that "there
Is not the slightest .. essence of
truth in -these charges, and I would
resent them If they were made
with honest Intentions."
Mr. Wilson, under date of Apfll
10, had written Jardine saying he
had heard the charge made that
"Mr. Hoover, as secretary of com
merce, has encroached . upon . the
work of the department of agricul
ture and In other ways has hin
dered the operation of your' de-,
partment in the interest of the
farmers."
"It has been my feeling," Wilson
said, "that these charges wore
made for ulterior motives, but I
have come to the conclusion that
the farmers of New York state
and of the country at large are de
serving of a frank statement from
you."
Hoover Shown Friend

that he had "consistently refused
to be drawn into a controversy on

fully understood the motives of the
