McAdoo landed at Cheyenne after flying from Salt Lake City.

McAdoo, still viril and active and commanding a following among Democrats, will pTove an antagonist to be reckoned with, as will Smith An alliance between the two, breaking political tradition, might be very damaging to the Roosevelt fortunes. McAdoo, a Georgia native, always has had a strong hold on Southern delegates. He is not a candidate for the nomination but will be looked to for influence in the Southern contingents to thwart Roosevelt. Simultaneously with this interesting speculation, and the injection of added life into the repeal movement caused by Garner's announced support thereof today, there developed an undersurface boom for Melvin A. Traylor, Chicago banker, as a compromise candidate.

RAPS TARIFF BARRIERS Believes In Collection of War Debts Up to Ability to Pay. By VLRIC BELL. The Courier-Journal Washington Bureau. Washington, June 21. Speaker Garner sat atop the repeal bandwagon tonight, heading it toward Chicago with himself as an avowed Presidential candidate.

Bill Borah of Idaho meanwhile bat tled with Hoover Cabinet officers over their alleged purpose of wrecking the battered dry chariot the Eighteenth Amendment. In both parties, these and other de velopments showed the prohibition issue in high sway, with desertions from the dry side becoming too chronic to gain much notice. Garner raised great disquiet among remaining dry leaders as to what is happening to the South, the old pro hibition stronghold. Recruits from that section for the wet parade have increased in recent days. The Texan said that he had never, considered the Eighteenth Amendment "sound and workable, and it should be repealed." Yesterday Democratic Leader Robinson of the Senate spoke for Arkansas when he advocated submission of repeal.

Other signs and portents have come from Dixie. Bryan Is Hoped For. Dr. Scott McBride wished fervently tonight that out of the coming convention "will appear a Bryan with an enforcement platform." The anti-saloon league leader, however, uttered this prayer in the light of the country-wide onrush of the wets. Politicians, in the South and elsewhere, and in both parties, believing prohibition no longer to be politically profitable, are changing in droves.

In many cases, according to current accusations, little nobility of motive has prompted these "adjustments." Senator Borah, having "bolted" Hoover, carried forward his crusade today in the Senate, where he replied to denials of Postmaster General Brown and Secretary of the Treasury Mills that they were in fact repeal-ists. as Borah charged yesterday. He quoted a private conversation with the Postmaster General several weeks ago in which he said that Brown declared that modification would not prevent the return of the saloon and that, anyhow, the saloon would be preferable to present conditions. Mr. Brown had accussd the Senator of considering at that time such a resubmission plank as Borah now holds in reaaty amounts to repeal.

Borah also quoted from various statements made by Secretary Mills several years ago, one of which held the Eighteenth Amendment to be the object of "scorn and contempt." As for Brown's charge that he worked for a while on a resubmission plank, Borah said that he told Brown at the time that he had made progress toward protecting dry States from wet ones but had concluded that once nqucr was legalized tncre was no practical way to keep out the sa loon. Borah quieted Mr. Fess, who had put the Cabinet statements into the record. Then the Idahoan made public the law enforcement plank he at length evolved, only to have it rejected by President Hoover. Wet Bolts Indicated.

While this was happening, it was made manifest in other quarters that those Republican wets who choose not to come out against Mr. Hoover, as Borah did, will repudiate the Na tional platform in many cases and run as out-and-out repealists.

Beargrass King, born in the mud of Louisville's famous creek, rose to great heights Tuesday afternoon when he won by ten lengths the first running of the Terrapin Handicap, feature of the twenty-seventh annual outing of the Retail Merchants' Association.

Approximately 100 members of the association having forgotten every business care for the day cheered the game little turtle as he streaked straight to the finish. While hardly a classic in speed, the handicap was fraught with those elements of uncertainty which give racing its thrill. By unanimous consent, the Terrapin Handicap will become a feature of future annual outings of the association. Beargrass King led seven of his kind to the finish. The favorite.

Washington, June 21 (UP) Caught in a tide of rising controversies over the $2,000,000,000 unemployment re lief bill, the Senate late today abandoned hope of early action on the measure, or of early adjournment of Congress by voting 38 to 32 against a session tonight to speed up a vote on the bill. The sole remaining chance for early completion of the relief bill was a proposal made by Senator Joe T. Robinson, Arkansas.

He said he would make such a motion when the Senate convenes in the morning. Senator Charles L. McNary. Oregon, Republican, alone sought to have the night session held.

As hope of early adjournment faded. Senator Lynn Frazier, North Dakota, Republican, warned he would attempt to obtain farm relief legislation again before adjournment. Combined efforts of proponents throughout the day prevented emasculation of the Reconstruction Fi nance Corporation loan policy proposed in the bill. The Democratic leadership was determined to stand firm in opposing loans to private competitive industry under tne $1,500,000,000 increase in the corpor ation's borrowing power that the bill provides. The first effort at a major change in the bill came when Senator MiU lard Tydings, Maryland, Democrat, offered as a substitute a proposal for (Continued on Page 4.

Both Alfred E. Smith. 1928 Democratic candidate, and William Gibbs McAdoo, son-in-law of President Woodrow Wilson, who deadlocked the 1924 convention with their protracted fight, will arrive here tomorrow. McAdoo flew from California today.

The possibility of their joining causes against Roosevelt despite their feud of eight years ago, was seen in their common opposition to the nomination of the New York Governor. McAdoo is for Speaker of the House John N. Garner and he proved an able ally to throw California's forty-four votes into the Texan's column. Garner, or someone else, may be the compromise upon whom the McAdoo- Smith anti-Roosevelt forces will cen ter. McAdoo said at Cheyenne, tonight Garner's statement advocating unqualified repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, was acceptable to him.

"I think it is fine." McAdoo told the United Press. He went on to say that the people were entitled to vote on the question which in his opinion is the dominant issue. McAdoo, however, said he believed prohibition should be made secondary to such problems as farm and unemployment relief. McAdoo said. "I am devoting myself to Mr.

Garner's candidacy and BONDHOLDERS LOSE TITLE CASE Hiqh Court Rulinq Saves Borrowers $1,250,000 On Mortgages. The Court of Appeals Tuesday saved borrowers of the Louisville Title Company approximately $1,250,000, already paid on their home mortgages on the monthly payment plan, when it upheld a decision of Judge John Marshall and Judge Lafon Allen in the Jefferson Circuit Court, affecting the status of payments made to the title company, but not credited prop erly. The Court of Appeals held the title company acted as the bondholder or the legal representative or the bondholder In collecting payments from borrowers, and the loss should be suf fered by the bondholders rather than the borrowers, if the payments were used in the conduct of the company's business instead of being credited to the retirement of the loan. Whatever loss develops In the liquidation of the company's business consequently falls on the owners of bonds issued against the mortgages. The case was based on an attempt by the Fidelity Columbia Trust Company, receiver, to collect an additional $632.71 from Mr.

and Mrs. Elmer H. Schmidt, payments they already had made on the sinking fund or monthly oavment plan. Judges Marshall and Allen held that the Schmidts must be credited with all payments made in compliance with the terms of their mortgages ana mis was upheld by the Appellate Court. Judge charies T.

Ray, who witn James D. O'Leary and Grover G. Sales. reDresented the borrowers, made the following explanation of the decision: "A very large majority of the mort gages in question are on the homes of the borrowers. If the court had decided that the borrowers should lose the payments in question, a majority of them probably would have been financially unable to pay the second time the amounts involved.

The result would have been that the courts in this city would have been flooded with foreclosure suits on tnese mortgages, the already overburdened real estate market would have been submerged under this flood of forced sales, and real estate values would have been further reduced to an alarming extent. The consequences of such a condition would have been disastrous to borrowers and bondholders alike and the reaction to such consequences would probably have been such that the financing of building construction and of purchases ot (Continued on Pace 5, Column 1.) Curtis Repudiates Lindy Hoax Story Paper Says Boatbuilder "Confessed" to Escape Cops' Quizzing. New York, June 21 UP) The Daily News in a copyrighted story says John Hughes Curtis. Norfolk boat builder, repudiated today his confession of having perpetrated a hoax in the Lindbergh case. Through his attorney, he said he acquiesced to police demands for a confession "after eight days of the Spanish inquisition, to escape further punishment." the paper says.

It adds that Curtis was at a loss to know why the negotiations in which Col. Charles A. Lindbergh participated should have been branded as a hoax, "despite their authenticity," and that he believed the police had overlooked opportunities to capture the kidnapers of the Lindbergh baby in clews he had given them. Curtis is scheduled for trial June 27 on a charge of obstructing justice. The News has criticised the New Jersey State Police frequently in special articles in recent weeks for their conduct of the search.

June 21 (A3) Jack Sharkey's victory aroused more fuss in the working press section than took place during all fifteen rounds inside the ropes. poU of newspaper opinion showed a big majority convinced Schmeling should have kept his title. Twenty-three out of twenty-five writers, in an Associated Press roundup, showed a consensus of eight rounds for Schmeling, six for Sharkey and one even. By STUART CAMERON'. Madison Square Bowl, New York, June 21 (UP) Jack Sharkey, of Bolton, was made world's heavyweight champion tonight by a close decision received with boos and cheers over Max Schmeling, of Germany.

The fight was not flashy. For four rounds the men played a distinctly defensive type of warfare, and the German war machine was slow getting into action. Schmeling's caution, his unwillingness during the first few stanzas to carry the fight to the American, cost him the decision. Champion Battered. The new champion, appearing very badly in several of the rounds, fitted his crown over a badly banged eye and a nose red from the constant peppering of Schmeling's stiff lefts the fanciest trick in the German' bag.

Sharkey was awarded the decision by a vote of 2 to 1. George Kelley, a Judge, and Gunboat Smith, the referee, giving him their votes, while Charles F. Matheson. the other Judge, gave his ballot to Schmeling. From the beginning of the fipht to the ena it was evident that Schmeling was over-cautious.

At times it appeared as though each man was afraid of the other. They lumbered through the ring like a couple of baby tanks, making vague passes at each other and waving their gloved hands idly like two big lobster paws In an ocean of smoke. Referee Has Light Night. The referee was never once forced to separate them, and aside from a few words of caution against low particularly directed at Sharkey, who has a habit of being forgetful in that respect, he might have been refereeing a three-legged potato race at a Sunday-school picnic. Only occasionally did the great crowd of 75,000 spectators, some of them perched precariously on apartment house tops across the way, feel inspired to lead a cheer.

In the tenth round Schmeling seemed to find himself and come out of his Germanic dream. Weaving his arms like a dudelsack-pfeiffer, he peppered Sharkey with stiff lefts and an occasional crack with a whip-like right, until Sharkey's eye puffed up like a new-laid mushroom. Sharkey was also having some difficulty with his nose, which had become, in the words of Park Avenue, somewhat "re-trousee." under the terrific lashing of the German. Schmeling was fast. But he was not as fast as he appeared to be when he fought Stribling in Cleveland, and what speed he had.

he seemed to te saving for a knockout punch that was never to come. Sharkey was the pursuer throughout the first eight rounds, and had Schmeling bicycling around the ring for the first four rounds. Neither man was forced to the ropes more than in an occasional round, and the defeated champion never seemed to lose his poise and courage. Sharkey, on the other hand, was badly flustered in the tenth, eleventh and twelfth rounds, and at this stage of the fighting his chief activities were a sort of friendly pawing over opponent's shoulders and arms, with an occasional love tap. It was a dull fight.

It was the sort of fight that enables spectators except for the newspaper men to lean back in their seats, drink pop, eat hot dogs, and wonder who's going (Continued on Page 2, Column 6.)

Some of the children get a bucketful of milk, sit on the sidewalk and drink some of it and then return and get the bucket filled. Captain Ulrey related.

He said that persons who come to the organization for food are apt to be in poor physical condition. The Volunteers of Amer ica fed approximately 4d0 persons Tuesday night, he said.
