The president added that In pre liminary negotiations, although "In ternational treaties fall within the sole lurlsdlctlon of the federal kov- ernmcnt, nevertheless the rcprcscnta- tlves appointed by you and leaders In other states primarily concerned have been consulted.1 Mr. Hoover made no direct refer ence to Roosevelt's expressed under- tDnrilnv tVint.

Roosevelt, the Democratic presi .nM h nrnhnhw tni dcntlal nomlnee.and President Hoo- eluded that In the "all domestic questions" phrase In this portion of his answer: "The question of , the . disposal of the by-product of power which will result from the works- which border the state of New York, like all domes tic questions of this character affect ing the two countries, Is reserved by the proposed treaty for purely domes tic action by each country. "This disposal Is not the subject of International agreement." Mr. Hoover continued. "If a treaty Is concluded and la ratified by the sen- which may arise must be settled through the action of both the sen - ate and house of representatives in. iurriance with federal and state, law and In accord with the Interest of all the states of the union. "You will realize that neither you nor I have authority to enter upon agreements In respect to these do mestic questions." . For these reasons, the president said. "It will not be necessary" for the New York govemoi to Interrupt his forthcoming cruise by a visit to Washington. He assured Roosevelt that the negotiations "are making progress." At Hyde Park, New York. Roose velt made no immediate comment.

This statute Is said to be still In force, as It has never been repealed, Mr. Fitzgerald Returns From Bourbon Meet "Everybody at the convention was more Interested In the liquor ques tion than In the president," say Mar tin Fitzgerald, who, with Mrs. Fitz gerald, returned to La Orande last night after attending the Democratic national convention as the delegates from the second congressional dis trict. The night the vote was taken on the question there were 30.000 people Inside, 10,000 with tickets who were outside, and another 30,000 who gathered without tickets. The problem of prohibition Is one that Is Interesting the people of the east and of the middle west, espe cially Chicago, more than any other of the present day problems, he be lieves. . Mr. Fitzgerald recalled the time when dry adherents, followers of Bishop Cannon, grabbed the Ore gon banner, waving for the wets. Mr. Fitzgerald retrieved the banner, nail ed It back on the stick and continued In the grand march.. Seeking election ' was' a publicity scheme of Al Smith's, the returned delegate believes, and New York's for mer governor Is behind Roosevelt In the coming campaign. . ; r; Mr. Fitzgerald met many celebrities during the convention, among them Jimmy Walker, New York's dapper mayor, whom he describes as "very foxy" and "as slick as an eel;" It Mayor Walker Is removed, his popu larity Is so great that he will be re elected by a million more votes, he adds. Others whom he met were Mrs. Wood row Wilson, the Vander bllts, Jacob Raskob, Jim Roosevelt son of the Democratic nominee. "I believe that Roosevelt will be the neat president," he stated. "The easterners are ready for a change of regime." While Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald were In Chicago the two Dawes banks withstood a four-day run, arid are going to liquidate and pay back the deposits dollar for dollar. During the week of their stay In Chicago 41 banks went broke. , They returned to La Orande by automobile, seeing Yellowstone Park en route." There aro thousands of tourlBts in the national park, they state, of which three put of every four are from California, while there are very few Oregon cars seen on the roads. ; Mr. Fitzgerald descrlbe'd Oregon roads as the best over which they travelled.

Previously It was reported only four people were under the roof on the mansion but the paper says Mrs. William Vaught, whose husband acci dentally burned to death in Greens boro a few months ago, also spent t-ie night there. The Sentinel says, however, that Mrs. Vaught apparently knew nothing of the tragedy until she awakened at 6 a. m., five hours after the shooting. Tjc paper says also that Blanche Yurka. Now York actress and friend of Llbhy Holman Reynolds Reynolds' hrido of only a fow months gavo testimony at a coroner's Inquest Sat- '.irday to substantiate the claim of Albert Walker that he was on the first floor when the 20-year-old Rey nolds heir fell with a pistol wound In his head.
