Crater In Canada, Youngstowu, Ohio, Newark, N. and Havana. District Attorney Craln prepared Friday to search sewer manholes here for the missing Jurist's body.

Craln refused to say on what In formation he based this latest move in the hunt for the Judge who dis appeared August C. He said only that he was preparing a request to the proper authorities for permission to search the sewers. Craln said detectives believe the driver of the taxlcab which carried Justice Crater away from a restaur ant In West Forty-fifth street, where ht was last seen, must have reason for not revealing himself. A careful search has been made for him with out avail. Miss Connie Marcus, a divorcee who was reported to have been seen frequently with the missing Jurist, was found Fridav and Questioned.

She said she last met Crater late in July and ho told her then he planned to go to Maine and spend some time at his summer home. He also told her, she said, that he expected to be a candidate for election to a 14-year term on the bench in November. His appointment expires December 31. Police Commissioner Mulrooney quoted Miss Marcus saying that Crater made her presents of money amounting to about $100 a month. He called on her, she said, about three or four times a month and generally they discussed law cases, In Youngstown.

the city prosecutor has been asked by Craln to question under oath Sally Ritz, a dancer, and her parents.

REPEAL OF DRY LAW IS ASKED (Continued From I'ase On.) state affairs and pronounced official misconduct the outstanding Issue of the campaign. All this was done amid rumors that the drys, defeated In their efforts to maintain control of the party's prohibition policy, would bolt and put a ticket of their own in the field.

But when the test came the nomination of Tuttle wets and drys alike forgot differences, rallied In a demonstration which Included every county delegation, without exception, and nominated the New York federal prosecutor on the first ballot. Tuttle, who was waiting nearby, came Into the hall Immediately, amid wild cheering, and addressed the convention. He appealed for harmony and, was promised It. He attacked the administration of Justice In New York City, where recent disclosures have Indicated the use of money In bringing about Judicial appointments. The plank demanding repeal of the prohibition law, which was drawn and approved by the resolutions committee at an all-night session and adopted by a vote of 733 to 258 when submitted to the convention, reviews the Republican record on prohibition In this state.

Then It adds: "The good in national prohibition lies In Its outlawing of the saloon and the saloon system and In Its grant to congress of power to cooperate Internally within states that maintain a prohibition system and to protect such states from importations of liquor from without. On the other hand, the evil In national prohibition lies largely In the compulsion sought to be placed upon states which do not desire the prohibition system. We favor the restoration to each state of the authority to deal with the liquor problem in accordance with the wishes of its citizens. "To this end, we favor the repeal of the eighteenth amendment, providing that simultaneously and as a part of the new amendment a provision Is adopted outlawing and forbidding everywhere in the United States the saloon system and its equivalent, the private traffic In Intoxicating beverages for private prof-It, and, further, guaranteeing federal co-operation and assistance to states which have prohibition in whole or In part." NATIONAL LKADKRS SILENT Washington, Sept. 26 (jP) National Republican leaders kept silence Friday on the news from Albany that the New York state convention had adopted a plank for repeal of the eighteenth amendment.

Drys belittle the effect of the move and those of the Republican faith predicted It would have no bearing on the next national convention of th party, two years hence. Secretary Stimson, head of President Hoover's cabinet, delivered the keynote address to the New York state convention but he said nothing on the subject of prohibition. Many here conceded the conversion of the New York Republican organization to the cause of prohibition repeal would be likely to bring this Issue before the next national convention, but Senator Brookhart of Iowa, a Republican dry, predicted that President Hoover would "keep tht party and, he added, "Wall Street will lie down to Brookhart "We haven't lost a thing" because the New York Republicans had adopted the repeal platform. He said Senator Wads-worth, a Repubblican. had run as a wet In New York In 1926 "and he Is ex-Senator Wadsworth now." Senator Sheppard, Democrat, of Texas, another dry.

said the New York Republican wetness "has no material 'He believed "it Just reflects the wet sentiment of New York City, which has always been wet."

O. candidate for the senate. In New York, where Charles H. Tuttle, Republican nominee for gov ernor, will run on a platform advo cating repeal of the eighteenth amendment, a platform similar to that of Franklin Roosevelt, Democratic nominee, the president will keep hands off. He will follow the same course In New Jersey, it was indicated, when Dwlght W.

Independents announced they were "forced to the wall" and said their business was "on the block" to any company which would supply them with the necessary gallons" of gasoline a month and enable them to compete with major companies.

New York, Sept. 26. (JT). The college football season of 1930 will be launched Saturday throughout the nation with untold thousands turning out from coast to coast and from border to gulf to watch their favorite teams begin the big campaign.

Here and there upsets may crop out but in general the colleges that rank among the football leaders of the country on post performances figure to win in a romp. On the Poclflc coast Stanford takes on the San Francisco Olympic club, with a vivid recollection of last year when the Cardinals were hard pressed to get a 6-0 decision.

Basse, will fire both barrels In the general direction of Boston University by way oi target practice. Colgate, one of the strong teams of 1929, entertains St. Lawrence.

Syracuse and Rensnelaer Poly meet under the arc lights in the only night game scheduled for the cast. Columbia and Georgetown, under new coaching regime, meet Middle, bury and Mt. St. Mary's respectively and among the other games of more than ordinary interest are: Brown-Rhodo Island, Carnegie Tech-Buffalo. Fordham-Bultlmore, New York University-Hobart, Penn State-Niagara, West Virginia-West Virginia Wesleyan, Boston College-Catholic, and Holy Cross-St.

Bonaventure. Davis and Elklns of West Virginia travels to Fargo, N. to face North Dakota State In a night affair. While Saturday marks the general opening all over the country, a few-teams here and there have already begun the season while others, including Notre Dame, Navy, Princeton, Harvard and Pennsylvania, do not start for another week. The south will see plenty or action with the outstanding southern conference teams headed by Tulane, the title-holder, doing their stuff all along the" line.

Tulane's Greenles take on Southwestern Louisiana Institute and Tennessee opposes Mary-ville, to pick out two of the teams that are expected to be well up in the struggle for sectional laurels. Just half of the "Big Ten" will play Saturday Indiana, Ohio State Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota, all of whom anticipate easy going. All of the Missouri valley "Big Six" wait until Oct. 4 before taking off, but all seven of the southwest conference group swing into action and five games involving Rocky mountain conference elevens are booked.

He soon overtook Neal, who had stopped to throw the knife used In the affray across the street.

His pulse seemed to have stopped, but when the wound In the right ventricle of his heart was sewn up and the blood removed from the heart cavity his pulse returned to normal and doctors at the Institution gave him an even chance to survive. Young Neal refused to make anv statement as to the cause of the difficulty. He appeared sullen and com posed when brought to the police sta tion xnursday night. Dr.

Carpenter of Dallas called on Texans to "organize mllltantly" for the development of the state's re sources, declaring Texas produces 81,000.000.000 in wealth annually and merits consideration of the government in distribution of aid. He urged them to go to work In support of Texas senators and congressmen to secure this aid. Belief that the Red river and Trinity river projects, after much ad versity, at last were approaching better days and getting on a sound basis was expressed by Congressman Sam Rayburn of Bonham. He said the gov ernment already had spent on Mississippi river projects and the $35,000,000 asked for a dam on the Red river near Denlson was a small sum, comparatively, and would De lortncomlng if government engi neers reported favorably on It. The saving in freight alone, he said, would repay the government.

Congressman Hatton W. Sumners of Dallas told the convention all the Texas congressional delegation was working for Inland waterways development and that the entire country was looking toward it favorably. The Idea that floods can be controlled by levees is passing, he said, and In Its place has grown a belief that they should and can be curbed by projects which at the same time look toward reclamation, navigation and other benefits.
