The only positions of honor commensurate with Mr.

Smith's stature, it has been suggested, are those of Secretary of State and Treasury. "But it is not believed he would like those posts, and it is felt his peculiar abilities could not be best utilized in any of the other Cabinet jobs. "On hi3 present trip Mr. Roosevelt has promised to institute reforms affecting organization of Federal departments and handling of Government finances. It was in this particular field that Mr.

Smith shone as Governor at Albany, reducing the number of state departments from about 180 to 18 and undertaking financial reforms. It is planned to accomplish, if possible, the same changes in Washington. "It is believed that Mr. Smith's special ability for cooperating with the legislative branch of the Government as revealed at Albany, and his many political contacts will help to break down the traditional opposition to Federal reorganization and financial reforms on Capitol Hill, provided, of course, that Democratic victory paves the way to this move for overhauling Uncle Sam's machinery." New Haven, October 22 (AP) A couple of savage, long-legged buckoes, Felix "Pick" Vidal and Jack Buckler, turned one of the most brilliant of the East's annual football pageants into a two-man rodeo today as a crunching Army eleven finally caught up with Yale and battered the Bulldog all over the bowl. For three long years, crushed once by the individual brilliance of little Albie Booth, held twice to meaningless ties, the great gray corps of cadets has massed in the mammoth stadium, waiting this day.

And the storm that battered down the Ells 20 to 0 was as nothing to the flood of gray that swept the field in a mob battle for the goal posts the minute the ball game was over. Yale saved the uprights after a terrific struggle that ended on a foul when the cadet officers bugled the men in gray out of battle and into the ranks with a commang assembly call, but that was all the consolation there was in ihe day for the Elis. Twice in the second period the kid Rough Riders of the Army outfit took the Bulldog apart in vicious single-handed assaults that left Yale as dazed as the 40,000. spectators, smallest crowd to View this spectacle In post-war history.

Melee Follows Parley In Warden's Off ice Between Irish Convict And Italian Faction. Dozens Of Shots Are Fired By Bluecoats Before 200 Belligerents Are Back In Cells. Weird Cacophony Kept Up By Hundreds Of Others Police Planes And Launches In Action. New York, October 22 (AP) A ''peace meeting" between leaders of rival factions in the City Penitentiary on Welfare Island today precipitated a 100-man melee during which one of the prisoners, a Manhattan' gunman, was stabbed to death. A general riot among the 1,560 other prisoners on the narrow island in the East River was imminent for the next half hour, as members of the two factions defied the smoking revolvers of officers.

Dozens of shots were fired before 200 prisoners who were out of their cells were herds back behind bars, i CALL IN 500 POLICE. It took a number of the 500 city police who answered a riot call Svith shotguns and gas bombs to tound up the last of the recalcitrants. Meantime, word of the killing had spread through most of the icell blocks. Hundreds of inmates set up a weird cacophony of rattling cell locks and screaming. 1 Three police planes roared overhead, ready to drop bombs.

Four launches circled the island with machine guns stripped for action. Police cars r(aced to the center Queensborough bridge and sent squad after squad of bluecoats down a huge elevator to the island below. Patrol wagons, ambulances and fire apparatus joined in the parade. IRISH LEADER KILLED. The man picked up dying from 'the center of the milling, slugging, prisoners was George Holshoe, who had been sentenced for carrying a 'concealed revolver.

Holshoe had represented a faction of prisoners of Irish extraction at the peace meeting in thft Warden's office. The two other inmates at the conference were Anthony Mazzio and Joey Rao, who spoke for the faction of Italian extraction. Rao, a Harlem gangster, was believed by police to have been the intended target of gangster bullets In the so-called "baby killing" in Harlem in July, 1931. Vincent Coll, since slain by underworld machine gunners, was tried and acquitted for the Harlem shooting, in which a child was slain. VIVID ACCOUNTS GIVEN.

Warden Joseph A. McCann and Abraham Norman, Medical Director, who had sat in the conference with the three inmates, gave "lvld accounts of what happened. "There had been trouble brewing between the two factions since Wednesday," the Warden said. "I sent for the three prisoners to Bee if we couldn't work out a peaceful solution. The four nf us, with the Medical Director, sat flown in my office to talk.

"I asked them what the trouble was all about. Holshoe said one of the men in the other faction had been sending tales out to the Kalian mob.

Cheers Echo In Hall, Packed By 18,000, As Opponent's Attacks Are Roundly Scored As "Amazingly Removed From Truth" "Destructive" House Program Is Assailed In Speech. Detroit, October 22 (AP) Recipient of a mingled greeting as he entered and left this city, President Hoover tonight cited 10 points of "evidence" that ths "gigantia forces of depression are in retreat" and- asserted that the Democratio Party had retarded this recovery. A chorus of "boos" mixed with cheers echoed around the President's automobile from a milling throng at the railroad station, a number of Its members carrying banners inscribed "Vote Communist" and "The Worker's Ex-Service Men's League." In contrast, the Chief Executive received a tumultuous ovation that continued for four minutes as he entered the Olympia arena and waj cheered nearly that long when lis arose to speak. ATTACK IS APPLAUDED. Mr.

Hoover was applauded tlm? and again as he repeatedly attacked statements by the Democratic nomi nee, Franklin D. Roosevelt, asseit- ing that he had "broadcast a misstatement of facts" concerning the Republican Administration," and was sponsor of a "fantastic" and unavoidable unemployment relief plan. Back of Mr. Hoover was hunjr a banner saying "Hold on to Hoover. The crowd yelled end applauded as the President replied directly to statements by his opponent regarding governmental expenditures.

A laufrh came from the crowd when the President, without a smile, referred to expenditures in 1929, saying, "You can be sure there was no waste under President Cool-idge. ASKS HIM "WHAT YEAR?" Some one yelled encouragement form the rear of the hall as Mr. Hoover said it "would help" if Gov ernor Roosevelt would state what year he would use as a basis for reducing expenditure by Despite a dozen speeches during the day, the President spoke in a strong, firm voice. Mrs. Hoover, dre3sed in a becom ing brown hat and dress, looked out over the crowd as she listened to her husband.

Sutherland's Men Set Stiff Early Pace, But Columbus Eleven Holds Own And More In Later Periods Cramer Shows Old-Time Form Heller-Reider Com- bination Fails. 'Pitt Stadium, Pittsburgh, October 22 (UP) An Underrated Ohio State footall eleven refused to respect pre-game predictions here today and fought the Pitt Panther to a standstill in its own lair, holding Jock Sutherland's highly touted team to a scoreless tie.

The Buckeyes, indeed, in the opinion of majority of sports critics present, proved to be the better football team except in the first period, when the Panther pushed over three first downs in succession and kept the ball in the Westerners' territory continually. Thereafter, however, Ohio State, led by flashy Carl Cramer, more than held its own, stopped Captain Paul Reider cold and in the second half rolled up a total of eight first downs against three for Pittsburgh BUCKS SHOW POWER. A lucky break in the last moments of the game gave the Buckeyes an opportunity to display as determined a defense as ever has been witnessed in Pitt Stadium. With three minutes of play left, Pitt received an Ohio State punt on its own 15-yard line, from where Mike Sebastian took a beautifully executed pass from Heller for a 55-yard gain. He immediately followed with a 19-yard dash to the 14-yard line.

THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER i By Roosevelt, Speaking To Louisville Crowd. Hoover Eeport In '22 Cast At President. No Attempt Made In '27 To Halt Boom, Nominee Says As He Enters Kentucky. Question Termed Test Of Party's Sincerity As To "Alibi" Of Campaign Crowds Greet Governor Falls City Thanked For Hospitality. By Edwin W.

Gableman. Staff Correspondent. 1 SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THB ENQUIRER. Aboard Governor Roosevelt's Special Train En Route Tq Atlanta, October 22 Asserting that the facts disprove the Hoover "campaign abibi" that the depression had its origins abroad and laying the responsibility for bringing on the depression to "Republican policies," Governor Roosevelt rode triumphantly through the border states into the South tonight on his way to Atlanta and a little rest at Warm Springs. All down through Kentucky and Tennessee tremendous crowds swarmed about to yell their greetings and shout their cheers, crowds that In many towns were vastly in excess of the local populations which had been augmented by people in dirty worn out automobiles who had come from miles around.

More than 15,000 people massed in the railroad station at Corbln, the meeting place for the Democratic leaders of Eastern Kentucky. TENNESSEE OUT, TOO. At Knoxville was an equally large crowd. From the time the Democratic nominee crossed the Ohio River at Louisville until late at night it was a continuous procession of eager, excited throngs. At Louisville thousands of people massed before the railroad station, lined the streets and filled the huge State Armory until there was no more standing room.

It was thers that the Governor first attacked the Hoover explanation of the causes of the depression, and charged that "the failure of the Administration to meet the realities of 1929 started the world into the depression and the Hawley Smoot tariff law carried the decline of world trade from what amounted to a minor disaster to a genuine international calamity." REPORT IS QUOTED. "No amount of campaign alibis, campaign explanation, campaign hysteria, or campaign appeals for sympathy can put those facts aside," he said. Mr. Roosevelt told his audience that this was not the first "Republican depression," that there was a "mild one" in and that President Harding "then turned to the economic expert of his Ad ministration, the then Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover, and asked him to get together the facts concerning the causes of a depres sion in order that they could work out some kind of a plan to I re vent a depression from coming again." The commission which was appointed and to whose report Mr. Hoover wrote an introduction, sum marized its findings, the Governor said, in the statement; "Peace-time slumps in business are the direct result of booms, so that the boom and not the slump should be the direct object of the attack." Mr.

Roosevelt said that was "pretty good common sense" and that he subscribed to it. If the con- Continued On Page 6, Column I New York, October 22 (AP) The World-Telegram, in a copyrighted story, today said that Governor Roosevelt will create a new Cabinet post if elected President and will offer it to Alfred E. Smith. The paper said it had learned that the Democratic presidential nominee already had discussed his plan to name his rival for the nomination, provided Mr. Smith will accept, to an ofifce "in which he can utilize his ability in handling Federal finances and reorganizing governmental departments." The World-Telegram said it had not yet been definitely decided whether the post would be an additional Cabinet job or one without portfolio, but that in either event Mr.

Smith would be clothed with greater power than any Cabinet member under the present system. "Mr. Smith," the paper continued, "under the plan would be a combination of budgetary officer and Federal coordinator." "In addition, it is understood, Mr. Smith would be intrusted with the problem, of studying and recommending changes to improve the relationship between government and business. This phase of the job, it is understood, would be concerned with efforts toward economic recovery, but, more specifically, with steps to be taken in the period of development after recovery.

BROTHERS FOUND SLAIN On New York Farm Pockets Of Two Contain $6,500. Corning, N. October 21 (AP) Two middle-aged brothers, Frank and William Van Clse, farmers, were found slain late today at the lonely house in Beeman Hollow woods where they lived together. A neighbor, Fred Green, wondering why he had seen neither of the brothers for days, went to the house and stumbled across the body of William, lying In the yard, bullets through his heart and head. Inside the house lay Frank's body, shot in the back of the head.

Both men had been dead two days. District Attorney George Pratt tand Sheriff Stanley Hoagland, of Steuben County, were unable to suggest a reason for the killing. Both said they believed one or more visitors to the house had done the shooting. Authorities found approximately $6,500 in currency in the pockets of the two. One had approximately $2,800 and the other $3,600, mostly in bills of large denominations.

FIVE STUDENTS And Two Girls Hurt In Crash Of Autos Driven By Yale Students Cincinnatian's Son Injured Seriously. SrKCIAL DISPATCH TO THB EJiQUIRER. New Haven, October 22 Five Yale students and two girls were injured here today, two critically, when two automobiles, both operated by students, crashed and overturned at a street intersection here. William Benedict, 21 years old. a Yale junior, and son of Mr.

and Mrs. Charles Benedict of 7 Garden Place, Cincinnati, is in a serious condition in the New Haven Hospital, suffering from a fractured skull and severe lacerations of the scalp. Henry Weatherwax, 22, Yale sophomore, is confined to St. Raphael's Hospital with fractures of both the upper and lower jaws, and multiple bruises and lacerations. Miss Sylvia Thresher, 25, of 128 West Fifth Street, Dayton, Ohio, a guest of one of the students for the Yale-Army game today, received fractured ribs and lacerations and is also confined to the hospital.

Benedict was riding in a machine operated by Charles B. Peters, another student, of Tulsa, when Continued On Pate Column 4, ing for all the world like the Booth of three years ago, picked one of Dud Parker's kicks out from under the noses of half a dozen burly Ell forwards as the ball was rolling loose on his own 27-yard line, dodged his way free, pranced past tackier after tackier up the side line like an aerial artist running along a tight rope, to complete his 73-yard burst, finally, over the Yale goal. Then, almost before the cheering had died, came another breathtaking sortie, and the Elis must have thought they were seeing double and that both of them were Booths. Out of an end run from his own 32-yard line burst this youngster, Buckler, a 162-pound sophomore from Waco, Texas, and threaded his way with all the deftness and ease of his predecessor through the secondary and out in the clear to score from 68 yards away in an ordinary gallop. That did not end the Army scor ing, but did finish what little chance a burly but faltering Yale team had of continuing the spell the Elis have cast over the Army with five victories and four ties in 12 games since the post-war resumption of hostilities.

In making the Scots their victims today, the Ramblers ran their production of points for their, first three games of the season to 177, against none for the opposition, an average of 59 points a same or al- rmost a point a minute. Haskel was downed 73 to 0, and Drake 62 to 0.

Koken started the scoring parade to day in the opening period, doubling around his own right end on a twisting, spectacular dash of 5S yards. As the second period opened, Sheeketski took a 10-yard pass from Vejar over the Scot goal line for the second tally and the regulars were t-rned loose on the bruised and battered team that upset Notre Dame out a national title in 1926. With Lukats and Melinkovich tossing and catching passes and busting the line almost at will, the Continued On Page 80, Column 1 Five of the victims are women, two are white men, and three are Negroes. The namegv of persons reporting they had been beaten were withheld in most cases, officers saying secrecy would assist their investigation. One woman reported she had been attacked last August, but had feared to say anything until the investigation began.

She said she was afraid she would be further. White men in two automobiles came to her chicken farm in East Jacksonville, this woman said, and severely beat her with a stick, telling her they did so because she "lived in a Negro district." She denied she lived in such a district, saying she owned property there and operated the chicken farm on it, but did not live there. Another of those reporting today Continued On rage Column B. South Bend, October 22 (AP) Notre Dame's football army still is looking for opposition. The once mighty Scots from Carnegie Tech valiantly attempted to stem the tide of the point-a-minute scoring ramblers before 30,000 spectators today but fell under another avalanche of touchdowns, 42 to 0.

It was the worst defeat they had received in 10 years of warfare with Notre Dame. Except for the first minute of play, when Harry McCurdy recovered Mike Koken's fumble on the first play from scrimmage on Notre Dame's 11-yard line, the Scots didn't have a chance. They were able to gain but two yards on that break, plowing through the second team to the nine-yard stripe. After that the game was all one sided, with the ramblers' running and pass attack functioning smoothly. Six backs, representing the first and second teams, scored Notre Dame's touchdowns, piling up 466 SUCH CRUST! Robbers Invade Jail.

Tie Up Cops And Escape With Plenty Of Loot. Machine Gun, Smaller Arms, 20 Slot Machines, Liquor And Cash Are Carted Away. Crookston, October 22 (AP) Five audacious criminals raided the City Jail early today to loot the pile of steel and stone where men of their ilk are penned and flee with a truck load of plunder. Arousing sleeping policemen to seal their eyes' and mouths with adhesive tape, the robbers carted away a machine gun, police pistols and rifles, 500 rounds of ammunition, liquor, $500 in cash, and 20 slot machines with their contents, estimated by authorities at $500. Diligent search by officers of Northern Minnesota and the twin cities whence the five were believed to have come, failed to unearth a clue, The bandits clouted James Duckworth, night jailer and watchman, with a blackjack before taping him up and binding his hands and feet, a few minutes later trussing up Iver Forseth, day jailer, and his friend, Clifford Larum, in a similar manner.

Seizing Duckworth's keys, three of the invaders lugged out the loot, stowing it in a light delivery truck, where one of the bandits sat behind the wheel. Another waited in a sedan near by. Before fleeing in the two vehicles, the robbers shoved the two policemen and Larum into a padded cell and locked the door. They missed one key Duckworth always kept hidden on his person, and, aided by a woman inmate, the three men later freed themselves. Sheriff Ira L.

Haaven, away on a moose-hunting trip in Canada, was sought by airplane, but tonight the search had been unsuccessful. James E. Montague, former County Attorney here, said he believed the gang made the raid primarily for the machine gun, difficult to obtain nowadays. The liquor and slot machines had been confiscated throughout the county and were held as evidence for forthcoming trials. Flogging Gang Has Schedule Of One Victim Each Week, Jacksonville Police Assert Jacksonville, October 22 (AP) Belief that an organized gang is operating here on a set quota of one flogging a week, administered to some person accused by the band of activities to which it objects, was expressed to police today following upon reports of additional whippings which brought to 10 the number recently reported.

Men and women, Negroes and whites, in approximately equal number, were the victims of the reported beatings. Reasons assigned for the attacks, Police Lieutenant W. O. Sllcox, who is leading the investigation, said, ranged from charges of bootlegging to "living in a Negro district" and "holding a white man's Job." Officers said some of the men's charges had been investigated and found false. Four new reports of floggings were received today, police said.
