Five or Six Seats in Close
Slates. !
By RAYMOND Z. HENLE

WASHINGTON, Auk. ti.(P)
party leaders have begun to think
seriously of the .senatorial cam
paigns next year in which one-third
of the senate membership 19 lie
publicans and 111 Democrats must
si ami lor re-election if t hey desire
to remain in office.
The Republicans already have se
lected a special commitiee to help
.senators in t heir party seeking re
election, and l he I emocrats have
been discussing their chances of
capturing five or six seats in slates
where party lines aie closely di
vided. Senator Moses of New Hampshire
has been selected to head the He
publican senatorial camimign com
mittee. Senator Ty dings of Mary
land is the chairman of the Demo
cratic committee and, while next
year's organization lias not been
perfected, a number of his col
leagues favor his reappointment."
The states in which the Demo
crats believe they have the best
chance to capture seats from Re
publicans are Massachusetts, West
Virginia, Delaware, Rhode Island,
Okluhoma and Kentucky. The Re
publican leaders express confidence
that they will retain most if not
all of the seats now credited to
their party and gain a Heat in Iowa.
They also expect to make n hard
bid for seats in New Mexico, Ten
nessee and possibly Virginia. .

Virginia's embattled Democratic
hosts were choosing a champion to
day to lead them in uu effort to
drive the Republicans beyond the
Potomac.
Factional differences, character
istic of southern states in which
Democratic nomination is equiva

by its absence in the Democrat! :
primary campaign that, closed last
night, the three candidates for the
nomination for governor calling
upon the voters to participate in
today's primary regardless of their
choice for party nominee.
John Garland Pollard, a William
and Mary professor; C, Walter
Mapp, a former state senator, and
Hoswell Page, a brother of the laM
Thomas Nelson Page, were the can
didates for the gubernatorial nomi
nation. James II.. Price, for lieu
tenant governor, ami John It. Saun

general, had no opposition.
While Democratic leaders de
clared a somewhat general apathy
would prevent the primaiy becom

local elections in several sections

Beautiful "Tears of St.1
Lawrence" To Visit Earth j
Between Midnight and;
Dawn Astronomers See.
No Danger To Globe. j
By HOWARD W. 3LAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor
PHILADELPHIA, ' Pa., Aug. Ii.
OP) The beautiful "Tears of St.
Lawrence," as the perseid meteor
showers sometimes are called, are
due for their annual visitation 'to
earth Sunday night, August U.
The best time to look for them is
between 'midnight and dawn, in
the direction of the Constellation
Perseus.
The name "Tears of St. Law
rence" was given them by Irish
peasantry more than u century ago.
Astronomical records identify them
first about 1 1 00 years ago.
"Of all annual showers they are
the most certain to return with av
erage richness," said Dr. Charles
P. Oliver, professor of astronomy
at the University of Pennsylvania
and president ol the American Me
teor society. "Also, as they come
in August, whan nights are still
comfortably warm, they furnish the
most excellent opportunity for a
person casually interested in me
teors to see a good shower."
Met oi s which have come to
earth are composed of stone, stony
iron and iron. A few of these have
weighed U0 to 40 tons, but most of
them have been small. Striking
the earth is so rare that astrono
mers do not consider a Bhootintr
star shower dangerous. Most me
teors are consumed in the atmos
phere GO miles or more up. In iare
cases a large one may enter neai'L'
horizontally and escape.
The scientilic consensus of the
fiery trails, which sometimes linger
for many minutes, is that, instead
of being white-hot fragments, some
of them at least are a glow in the
air, perhaps electrically inducted,
like the Aurora. There Ih evidence
that a few of these trails have bee i
great, hollow tubes of light.

Appeal Is Made By Woman
Anti-Prohibition Leader j
W. C. T. U. Don't Repre-j
sent All of American i
Womanhood Is Claim. !
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. C (JP)
An appeal to the women of Amer
ica to organize in protest against
prohibition, was made here last
night by Mrs. John It. Casserly,
vice chairman of the Women'w
Organization for National Prohibi
tion reform, in an address before
the Women's Deniuei a tic Council
of t'ulifornia.
"At sessions where prohibition
had been discussed in tile past it
has always been the wont or some
W. C. T. U, women to stand and
declare: 'I represent the women of
America,'" said Mrs. Casserly.
"I for one am ready lo pnotest.
Wo need 2,iK)0,000 women to make
an organized protest against condi
tions as they are today. We want
to hold a convention at Cleveland
with at least 1 nuO women present
representing In all 2.000,000.
"We don't know just what has
happened since prohibition, but
we do know that the present
younger generations have no stan
dards to help them stop drinking
the stuff which their young bodies
cannot stand. We know that the
alcoholic death rate has increased
u mazing 1y, as have commitments
to penitentiaries and asylums, over
and above the regular percentage
of increase.
"We cannot blame prohibition
for the whole crime wave but we
do hold that it has greatly In
creased erini". Wo must appeal as
mothers of families for a cure."

On the flight to Frieilrichshafen,
the Graf Zeppelin has booked 1 S

made reservations for the world
tour. She also will carry freight
and mail.
Three passengers havo been
booked for the trip around the

for the Zeppelin. They are Jat

he said.
Dr. Kckener said on the voyage
around the world, I he greatest
ild nger was from famine, in case
the ship was unable lo land before
her provisions were exhausted, He
said the worst part of the trip

HroKANK. Wash., Aug. C
A fatigued army today was
fighting doggedly to stem a three,

swi'pt like a plague over up
wards of 30,000 ncres In Mon
tana, Idaho and Washington.
The nrmy fully 1000 strong
and being augmented as rapidly
as recruits could be found re
ported varying successes, but all
observers insisted that the con
tinued lack of rain and low hu
midity, which was as low as 12
In some placeH, was making thin
one of the most dangerous seasons
in history.
Federal air patrols, working
out of Spokane yesterday, report
ed that dozens of new fires, none
of them large, but all potential
conflagralloiiH, had been started
III a dozen national forests by
lightning storms which descended
without the usual accompaniment
of rain. i
In Montana at least 12 new fires
wero reported and many crews,
wearied by weeks of work, wen?
fighting a discouraging battle.
Fedenil forest patrols, timber
protective associations and private
citizens joined In the work.
In north Idaho the largest fire
was (he old blaze on I'ack river
In t he extreme panhandle sec
tion. The Salmon river fire in south
Ida ho wus roaring anew, and
fighters were sent across I be

CAUSED BY
Renewed Outbreak Believed
Result of Rice Liquor
Racket Drugs Also Seen
As Motive More Deaths
Occur In New York
Leaders Are Warned
Against Violence.
NttW YORK, Aug. C. (P)
Prospects of one of the bloodies:
lontj wa rn In yeai'H were seen to
day by additional killings, both
in tbs city and Most on, bringing
the dead lo five in two days in
addition to several wounded.
A few hours after U. At
torney Charles II. Tattle and
Samuel Suiik Voting. Chinese con
sul Keiieral, hud warned long lead,
eis here that no violence would
be tolerated pending a peace con
ference today, a Harlem laundry
man was shot and k illed at hU
ironing hoard.
Similarly in Itoston two Chinese
were shot and killed within a few
hours after tong leaders had as
sured the police there would be
no tong warfare in that city.
Police officials said it was the
first time tong leaders had de
liberately deceived I hem unci ex
pressed the belief the killings
would result in the bloodiest tong
war ever seen in new Kngland.
In Chicago and Newark, N. ..,
iv he re the killing started with one.
death each on Sunday, a tense
on let' prevailed. Police maintain
ed (dose watch on the Chines)
sections hut no attempts at vio-
l lenep occurred. . '
One theory of thp renewed tong
outbreak upon which New Vork'
police were working was that it
was over the rice ' Ibiuor trade
which .WW- 'd U have. hMsonu
fill lie profitable with the lioterlor-'
a ting quality of other bootleg
liquor. At Newark it was thought ;
the war might be over the opium
trade, $.10,000 worth of the drug
having been seized in that city
Saturday.
Deportation Threatened
After a conference yesterday .
with Voting and representatives
of the rival tongs, Mr. Tuttle let
it be known that If the warfare
was not stopped In New Vork
at once wholesale, deportations of
Chinese would result.
