HjjSte, POLITICAL HOPES
By Faul Mallon

Hoover
WASHINGTON. April 6. The real
reason Mr. Hoover made that western
tour was to Ilnd out what he should
do.
He wanted to learn what the west
A thinks. You will see the result In
Ma actions during the next thirty
days.
One of two developments Is com
ing: (a) A statement from Mr. Hoo
ver, or (b) reorganization of the Re
publican national committee through
resignation of Chairman Bandera. As
a matter of fact, both developments
may come. It Is only a question of
time.
At least that la the confidential
Interpretation which has reached the
inner conservative council of the
l party here.
Motives
The way Mr. Hoover's friends put
it In whispers is this:
He feels a certain responsibility to
pass the leadership of the party on
to the right people. He appointed Mr.
Sanders, and Mr. Sanders will re
main there until Mr. Hoover gives
the word.
The present la probably not the
best time to act. Councillors here are
against doing anything until the con
(rressional primaries are over. Also,
they feel somewhat at sea because
they are not being properly consult
ed.
Aspirations
Presidential candidacies are only
Indirectly involved.
As a matter of fact. If the nom
inating convention were held today
the nominee probably would be
James Wadsworth of New York. A
mouth-to-mouth Republican cam
paign for him Is being carried on
f so quietly, you can only hear the
y vast echo of it. Preliminary organi-1
7-atlon work hns started for him In
many states, such as Kansas. The
Curtis people there like him. He is
daily making himself more and more
personally popular with the regular
Republicans of the house, although
he breaks into print but little.
The talk for him is based on the
fact that he was not mixed up In
the 1932 debacle, that he Is from
President Roosevelt's state, a conserv
ative, a wet. and level-headed
The conservatives arc using him to
head off the progressives.
There Is no Hoover renomlnatlon
talk anywhere.
Secret '
Four of Mr. Roosevelt's associates
are going to get a surprise when his
new book comes out shortly. He let
them see all except the last chapter
before the book went to the print
ers. The reason he kept that chapter
secret Is that in that chapter he
paid an unusual tribute to them :
Prof. Moley, Louis Howe. Steve Early
j and Marvin Mclntyre.
It may stop that old gossip about
dissension in the secretariat. The
only change that has occurred on
the Inside there is due to the Illness
of Howe and the neccssltv that he
curtail his work.
Also It will probablv result In a
flock of reports that Prof. Moley Is
ace high again. Such reports will be
sponsored by those who did not know
that he haa been ace high right
along. There has been no change
in his status as presidential adviser,
except that relinquishment of his
state department post enabled him
to move with greater freedom.

SALEM, Ore., April 7. (AP) Im
mediate resignation of the office of
state treasurer by Rut us C. Holman
la demanded in a resolution adopted
last night by the Macleay Grange.
It was learned .here tonight that
similar resolutions are to be pre
sented to other Granges throughout

The resolution declares:
"Whereas, the Grange Is not inter

Holman but is interested in securing

terests of the people; it therefore re
quests Mr, Holman to resign imme
diately and thereby vacate the place
on the state board of control he
now holds so that a servant of the
people's choice may be nominated
and elected."
The resolution is prefaced by a
statement that Mr. Holman, by be
coming a candidate for the office of
governor, has shown a desire to oc
cupy another place on the board of
control, "thus abandoning the place
to which he was elected."
Representative Orange members
said here today that they favored the
introduction of a bill at Vie legisla

official would be Immediately dis

office if he sought another Job with

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., April 7.
(AP) Flames that raged through the!
receiving building of the Indiana
state prison and threatened to spread

2500 felons were brought under con

POISINING OF 11
UP COUNTY FOLK
Eight Cases Reported Butte
Falls, Three From Pros
pect Areas Details Not
Yet Available.
Eleven cases of mushroom poison
ing in Jackson county were reported i
here yesterday by Dr. C. I. Drum-;
mond, county physician, who stated j
that eight were located In the Butte
Palls area and three near prospect.
Several he described as in a very se-!
rlous condition, as result of having'
eaten what they thought were mem
bers of the mushroom family. The
names of but four affllced pePle
could be obained here last night.
Mrs. Walter Stone, Mrs. Clem Clark
and George Tranta of Butte Falls
were reported III and Florence Conger
of McLeod was receiving treatment
In the Sacred Heart hospital for what
was believed to be a touoh of the
same poisoning. All had eaten mush- 1
rooms.
The poisoning Dr. Drummond called
"muscarine," characterized by paral
ysis and violent vomiting. The on
set, he stated, is noted In some cases
18 hours after the mtishrooms have
been eaten, and the malady Is many
times fatal.
Two local physicians motored to
Butte Falls yesterday afternoon to
call on some of the afflicted people,
but no word had been received from
them late last night, and It was be
lieved that the patients were In an
Improved condition. 1
Mrs. Mary Grieve of Prospect, when ;
interviewed by phone, stated that all
the sick ones at Prospect known to
her were ill from "overeating of
mushrooms." not from poison.
One local physician was of the
opinion that it was not the mush
room meat itself which had poisoned,
but a, fungus, growing within the
mushroom, which lengthy soaking In
salt water would have destroyed. Had
It been the mushroom Itself, he stat
ed. In several cases death would have
been Inevitable before treatment was
administered.
Because of the common names
given mushrooms In different locali
ties, It was Impossible to determine
here just w.hat varieties had been
eaten. Several persons. Dr. Drum
mond was told, had eaten what they
believed to be morels. Other physi
cians, however, were told the mush
rooms were "elephant ears," which
might and might not Indicate the
same kind. I
A growth, closely resembling the :
sponge-like morel, was reported seen I
by many mushroom hunters In local
woods. While they were not inform
ed aa to Its edibility, several stated
that they believed it to be poslon
ous and in many years of mushroom
eating had never taken a chance on
the said fungus, appearing more
plentiful than usual this year.
