21. b'onntor Swunson of Virginia, chairman of tha Deniocratie speakers' bureau, declared Tuesday night in a Btutement Issued by the Democratic national committee that the campaign has reached a atage where the real issue is whether John W. Davis shall be sleeted in the electoral college or by congress, Mr. Swnnson said that Davis is gaining "so rapidly" in tha west and middla western states, as well as parts of the east, that if gains continue as they have in tho last two weeks, he will receive a decisive majority in tha college. "The only question left unsettled in the college," Mr.

Swanson asserted, "is whether Coolidge and La Follette will have sufficient votes to prevent the election of Davis." Comparing the campaign to tho triangular campaign of 1892 and 1912, Mr. Swanson declared that he was "absolutely aure that Mr, Coolidge ia rapidly losing both to Davis and La Follette and Indications are that Coolidge will get very few electoral votes In the west, as nearly all the votes will be divided between Davis and La Follette. "Tha south, the border atates and the southwestern atatea will go for Davis and the middle eastern states and New York, New Jersey are being stubbornly contested between Davis and Coolidge. La FoUntte has no show in these atates." Mr. Swanson predicted the election at the polls of 2avis and Bryan, a Democratic house and a Democratic senate by good majorities.

Art Treasures Real Objective of Gem Theft (By Universal Rervlre.) New York, Oct. 21. Gems, paintings and other art objects to the value of $750,000 were the goal of the three who Monday held up Mrs. Helen Patterson Heyworth, young divorcee and fiBncee of "Dapper Dan" Collins, international confidence man, in her apartment and robbed her of a $500 diamond ring, detectives asserted Tuesday night. These precious possessions of Mrs.

Heyworth, it was learned, were brought over from Brussels when she came back to the United States three months ago. They were entrusted to her care by persona unnamed, to be sold by her this country en commission. European crooks, the police believe, were at the bottom of the plot to rob Mrs. Heyworth, it being ascertained that members of an organized band of Parisian desperadoes learned of the young woman having a fortune in her charge, and followed her to America to be within reach of it. The authorities are now checking the personal history of four young men arrested Tuesday to see if they could have had any connection with thia foreign group.

The prisoners were held on suspicion following the discovery that one of them had in his possession a ring which the police declared a woman friend of Mrs. Heyworth identified as that atolen from the beautiful young divorcee.

A ready admission that secrecy in regard to national defense plans was used in the negotiation of leases held by Tan-American Petroleum and Transport company in the Elk Hills naval oil reserves was made by Ho-gan in answer to charges made earlier in the day by Roberts. Ho-gan, arguing the government's charge that the leases were established through a secret and non-competitive contract with the United States, declared that there was secrecy, but that the secrecy was on the part of the government officials, who sought at the time negotiations for the oil leases were first taken up to keep confidential national defense plans being formulated. The attorney contended, however, that there was no secrecy or conspiracy in the actual granting and contracts, offering in support a telegram of Albert B. Fall, secretary of the interior at that time, to Edward C. Finney, acting secretary of the interior, instructing him to award the contract to the Pan-American interests, if approved by Admiral Robison and Secretary Denby, and make public the closing of the contract in "the fullest and completc-st manner."

Mr. Wiener declared that when hla concern first begun to market their lumber, most of it, was nolii in tha south, especially in Texas, Today, he laid, the company ships to all sec tions of the United Mutes nnil foreign countries.

In the early days, he id, before grading rulei were developed each mill established it own (trades and the purchaser didn't what he was buying. Mr. Wiener recalled an early trip to Omaha where yellow pine first began to take the place of white pine in the north, and stated that at that time it was impossible to sell a car load of yellow pina in Chicago, which is now the largest market for this timber in the world. He stated that he thought the time would soon arrive when the yellow pine mills will again market their products in tha south because there is a growing domand. Mr.

Wiener commented on the hardships of tha manufacturers of early days, stating that there were two t.v;pe of mill men; one, southerners wrio installed small plants to supply local demands; and the other, former white pine manufacturers who were unfamiliar with the conditions in the south. Those who survived made their money, not by manufacturing lumber, but from the rapid enhancement in the value of timber. Business conditions have improved materially in the last quarter of century, he said, much of which is due to tha work of the association of lumbermen who have come together to discuss and offer remedies for their common problems, Mr. Wiener related an occurence at a lumberman's association meeting at fit. Louis in the early days when in establishing a uniform cost account, the value of timber was quoted at 15 a thousand, which then was thought to be an excessive value.

Besides, every young visitor was given a top, a puzzle game that was really puzzling, and the very young lads were presented with picture books in colors. A great many mothers accompanied their young hopefuls on this tour of investigation, for they, too, were deeply interested in "what the well dressed boy is wearing." They were convinced that every article, from hat to hose, can be found in Selber Brothers department for boys. Of course, everyone visited the "bobber" shop, where women and children may get their hair cut any style by an expert. There was a steady stream of boys through the store from the opening hour until 6 o'clock, when the doors were closed to permit final preparations for the general opening at night. The auspicious opening of Selber Brothers Greater Store for Men and Boys was preceded by a special 16-page section of The Times Tuesday morning.

Shenandoah Is Ready to Start on Return Flight (By tniveraal Seirlre.) San Diego, Oct. 21. The navy's big dirigible Shenandoah swung idly at its mooring mast here Tuesday night, after being r.iade fast here shortly after 11 o'clock Tuesday morning. The arrival of the Shenandoah marked the successful conclusion of its journey from San Diego to Camp Lewis, Washington, and return, one of the most difncult flights it ever had undertaken. While the air siuo arrived here shortly after 3 o'clock in the morning, she was unable to land because of a heavy fog that shrouded North Island.

Because of this the air cruiser soared above San Diego until the aun dissipated the mists and improved the visibility. How long the Ehenandoah will remain here had riot been definitely decided this evening. However, as soon as he reached the ground Lieutenant Commander Ztchary Lnns-downc, skipper of the air cruiser, ordered her refueled, stocked with food and a small supply of helium gas and water takea aboard and made ready to start on the eastern jaunt to LaUehuret, N. at a moment's notice.

But that's just what was accomplished Tuesday night between 7:30 and 10:30 o'clock in Selber Bros. Greater Store for Men nnd Boys, corner of Marshall and Milam streets.

It taxed the entire staff of employes to show the crowds of people around the store, to point out the myriad points of interest, but everyone of the employes kept smiling and demonstrated the words of Louis presiJa.it of the company, who told those gathered: "This is your store and every ounce of energy in this organization is pledged to its continued faithful service to the public." Two orchestras, thev Louisiana Ramblers and the Hawaiian orchestra, the latter from the Inn, furnished music for the formal opening. The Louisiana Ramblers played in the main store, while the Hawaiian orchestra turnished music for the dance which was from 9 to 10:30 o'clock in the north store. The entire interior of the store was decorated with flowers, while American flags garnished the exterior of the building. Louis Selber made the address of welcome, thanking all who visited the new store on the occasion of its formal dedication, and declaring that the opening was "an expression of our deep feeling of appreciation, and that Shreveport's new and greater store bids you welcame at ell times." Francis H. Norton, director of displays and advertising, made an address on the uubject "Dress Well and Succeed," in which he brought out ihe fact that though clothes do not make the man, they often create an impression that will go a lon( way toward making him or keeping him down.

He pointed out that in order to command the favorable opinion of others, a man must look his best, declaring that "The chief purpose of correct dress is to reveal one's advantages und conceal one's shortcomings." Souvenirs of the occasion were given to all who nttended. And it looked like nearly everyone in Shreveport and hundreds from the environs of the city attended.
