DAVIS OH TRIAL
FOR PROMOTING
LOMLOTTERY
New York. Sept. 21 U) The loyal
order of Moose always needed funds
for Its charitable work and, wit
nesses said today. Its supreme dic
tator, United States Senator James
J. Davis, advocated "good clean,
wholesome entertainment" to raise
them.
This was brought out In federal
court where Davis Is on trial charg
ed with violation of federal court
where Davis Is on trial charged
with violation of federal statutes
Dortainina to lotteries. The gov
ernment sought to show that Davis'
wholesome entertainment ' was a
lottery.
Malcolm R. Giles, Moose supreme
secretary and controller of its 1,700
lodges, recalled the Moose 1929 con
vention. The minutes were read to
show Davis made a speech in which
he said that "Brother Theodore
Miller will show the lodges how to
raise money through good clean,
wholesome entertainment.1
Miller, head of the Moose propa
gation department, was one of the
six others Indicted with Davis. They
are to be tried later.
Did Senator Davis ever talk to
you about his objections to gamb
ling as a means of fund-raising?"
Charles H. Tuttle. chief of defense
counsel asked Giles.
"Always," he replied, adding that
Davis was particularly opposed to
the "punch-board method.
Giles was asked to describe the
new methods mentioned in Davis'
convention speech.
Miller, he said, centralized the
agencies for raising funds.
"In 1929 did Mr. Miller occupy
position within the order?" he was
asked.
"Yes. He was secretary of the
general assembly."
The propagation department was
the name under wlilch Miller oper
ated for the 1930 charity ball but
not before, Giles said.
"Was Senator Davis' attitude re
garding gambling for fund raising
well known," Tuttle asked.
"It was."

Mills said today after an hour's con

Mills has been advising against
the national stumping tour advo
cated by some of Mr. Hoover's ad
visers. His assertions regarding the
president s plans were taken as del
initely closing that possibility.
The president is going to have a
hard time uving up to the standard
set in Ills speech of acceptance,
Mills said. '1 think any speaker can
say about all he has to say in three
or four speeches, and after that he
begins to repeat himself."
Mills said he and the president
had gone over the campaign "pretty
thoroughly." He said the Iowa
speech would not be devoted entirely
to farm problems, but would deal
generally with that and other eco
nomic problems facing the nation.

HOOVER NOT TO
TOUR NATION
Washington. Sept. 21 U Presi
dent Hoover has won his fight
against anxious republican advisers
wno wanted him to make a country
wide speaking tour. He will make
the first of three major speeches for
re-election on October 4 at Dec
Moines, la.
The president has definitely and
finally decided against stumping
the nation in a belated personal
appeal to the voters, political ob
servers close to the chief executive
are convinced.
The brief announcement of his
Des Moines address said "The presi
dent will return immediately to
Washington after his speech. He
will make no other addresses en
route. Time and place of other
addresses have not yet been ar
ranged."
The statement. Issued by Chair
man Everett Sanders of the repub
lican national committee, Indicated
he had taken the advice of Secre
tary of the Treasury Mills to hold
to his original plan of three speech-
The president feels his Job Is
here in Washington during the ec
onomic stress.
Rumors persisted that the presi
dent might yet decide at the last
moment to hurry across the contin
ent to his home in Palo Alto, Ca!
to vote on Nov. 8. The reports,
however, were denied at the White
House.
The selection of Des Moines was
regarded as a strategic move one
designed to placate the east and far
west by selecting a neutral point
at which to begin his fight.
Furthermore. Des Moines is not
only regarded as neutral ground,
sense, but is not far from
West Branch, la., where the presi
dent was born. It has, therefore,
something of sentiment to back its
selection as the spot for him to
open his appeal for support.
It was conceded his address would
touch on farm problems. Persons
close to the president insisted that
it would not be altogether a "farm
speech, but that the chief execu
tive would discuss broadly the ec
onomlc problems facting the nation,
Meanwhile, other administration
henchmen were given their final
instructions and set out on speak

Curtis left for speaking engage

NEW ELECTRIC
RATES ENJOINED
IN U. S. COURT
Charles M. Thomas, public utilities
commission, today received notice of
the appeal filed In Portland by Uie
Northwestern Electric company from
his order reducing rates of electric
service. The appeal was filed with
the federal court and claims the
order confiscatory, Thomas said.
A temporary restraining order re
quested by the company to prevent
the reduction of 10 percent going
Into effect October 1. accompanied
the appeal. Thomas announced the
arguments on tne restraining order
would be heard Monday, September
26. Thomas' order was Issued several
weeks ago following an investigation
of the company s services and
charges.
Late yesterday Thomas addressed
letter to the Portland city council
criticising the "scrvice-at-cost" pro
posed franchise for the street rail
way system of that city. Thomas de
clared the proposed franchise vio
lates every recommendation con
valned in his previous order reduc
ing the fares on the lines of the
Portland Traction company from 10
to 7 cents.
The public utilities commissioner
said that because he believed the
council and the traction company
would follow the recommendations
of the order the commission has ob
jected to bus franchises in Portland
on the ground they would interfere
with the working out of a construc
tive program outlined. The traction
company had appealed from the or
der and the federal court upheld
the 10 cent fare.
Referring to the proposed "service
at cost" franchise, Thomas charac
terised it as "merely a subterfuge
snuarely in conflict with the order
in all its essentials. It is indefens
ible from every conceivable angle
so far as the public is concerned
Its enactment will only result in
making a deplorable situation
worse.
GIVEN COMFORT
BY WISCONSIN
Indianapolis. Sept. 21 Mi Sena
tor James E. Watson of Indiana,
in a statement issued today, de
clared the result of the Wisconsin
primary "is evidence of the fact
that people favor stability and
stabilized conditions here as else
where."
'In Germany,' Watson said,
"after years of suffering and pri
vation far worse than we have
ever known, the people rose to the
occasion and elected Hlndenburg
by an overwhelming majority
evincing their desire to stand by
fixed principles of government
rather than run astray after false
gods and erroneous conceptions of
administration.
"In England, which country has
been through a far greater depres
sion than we have experienced, the
sturdy English character was most
strikingly manliest In the election
of MacDonald and his own conver
sion conservatism.
This has shown Itself in practi
cally every election held in this
country where an opportunity for
such expression has been given.
"This Is strikingly manifest In
the Wisconsin election where the
LaPollette regime, dominant in
Wisconsin politics for forty years,
was overthrown by conservatism all
along tne line,"
