The president added that In pre

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. A HlfturanM OVOT NW
York state's share of tha coat of the the respective attitudes of Franklin
project had. up to now, prevented D. 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.
That Mr. Hoover agreed the water
way had the makings of a political
Issue was attested by his consulta
tion with Walter Newton, his former
congressmen-secretary, before the
telegram was made public.
Glaciers Influence Weather
A Norwegian scientist who has.
been giving some very close attea.
tlon to the movements of the gla
ciers which abound In this coun
try, says he has traced a very di
rect connection between the weath
er and the action of these great
moving "rivers of Ice." A great ad
vance of the Ice causes cold and
west summers, when crops do not
ripen. Where this covers several
years famine Is the result.

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. ;

WINSTON SALEM. N. C, Juljf 11
n The Twin City Sentinel today
says it learns on good authority that
the number of persons In smith Rey
nolds' home at the time tho young
heir to tobacco millions was fatally
shot early last Wednesday, waa flvo
Instead of four.
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.
Walker, a close friend of young
Reynolds, Is held as a material wit
ness while Mrs. Reynolds 1b under
guard: at Reynolda,. the Reynolds
estate, a few miles from here.
Miss Yurka's Testimony
Mlas Yurka, the Sentinel said, was
understood to have told the coroner's
Jury she saw Walker downstairs In
the reception room shortly before tho
shot was heard. She reported ho told
her he was waiting for Bmlth, who
was found dying a short whllo later
on the sleeping poroh of tho home.
Upon hearing the shot, sho said,
sho ran out on the balcony, Insldo
the house, and saw Walker run up
stairs from tho reception room. Un
official reports said Walker testified
Mrs. Reynolds was at the head of
the Btalrs near her bedroom, adjoining
the sleeping porch, when ho ran up
tho steps.
Walker Is reported to have said
Miss Yurka helped him carry Rey
nolds from the sleeping porch but
hor testimony was quoted as being
that Walker brought tho body from
the porch to tho Interior balcony and
that she helped him from that point.
All Fingerprinted
Meanwhile all occupants of tho
house wero fingerprinted for compari
son with marks found on a bathroom
door of the house.
Authorities delved today Into Miss
Holman's romance with Reynolds and
his history for the past several years
, ,.,.,,, ,or Bome cluo to the mys.
tcry surrounding his death.
I One story was that Reynolds had
a narrow escape from death by shoot
ing on a Long Island outing almost
a year to the day beforo the young
heir to tobacco millions was found
shot through tho ht.d at Reynolda,
the manorial Reynolds estate horo,
last Wednesday.
Sheriff Scott said he was Informed

While tho check was bolng mado
upon other details of their romanco
and upon the story of Reynolds' nar
row escape on tho Long Island out
ing, the Investigation waa pressed
here.
Motlvo Unknown
As It faced tho case today, the
coroner's Jury, as well as coulb be
gathered from officials, was without
any particular reason to bcllcvo
Reynolds' death was other than sui
cide, but has been unable to learn
any reason why Roynolds, young ond
apparently without any enrcs, should

SHINGLES"
We have just unloaded a car
of Extra Fine Cedar Shingles.
The manufacturer is proud of
them and has put his name and
grade on each bundle, so you do
not have to open the bundle to
know its quality.
They are all "5 to 2's". That
means they are thick -takes 5
shingles to measure 2 inches in
thickness.
It will pay you to look these
shingles over and to get our
prices.
