TALK -OF- TODAY THREE CENTS RICHMOND, INDIANA, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 17, 1928 HUNT SWINGS TO LEAD IN OHIO'S 10 DEATHS STORM TOLL THROUGHOUT STATES IN SOUTH SENATOR CONTEST EDITORIAL HONESTY The driver of a coal wagon at Muncie found a purse which contained more than $1,000, one day this week.

And, while many men would have pocketed the money and said this laborer turned the purse and its contents over to his employer. The police were appealed to in an effort to find the owner of the money and other valuables. Of course, the owner will be found. No matter how wealthy an individual may be he cannot, lose a nocketbook cotaining a thousand, dollars or so without knowing it. As we read a little piece in 1 the paper about this case, yesterday, we thought of how many people we know who would have kept the money and said nothing.

Admiral To Retire; Service Wa Notable (By Ths Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Aug. little grey bearded man whose kindly eyes bave viewed the waters of every sea during 47 yean of distinguished naval service, marked by many notable achievements, has struck bis colors to age. Rear Admiral Edward Walter be lie, who has been the friend and counsellor of rulers of nations and the humble blue jacket alike, tomorrow attains 64 years of age and retirement from the navy. A recounting of his career that began when he entered the naval academy at 17 years until he became chairman of the navy general board and ranking officer after holding the highest commands, is a review of the many developments of the modern navy from sail to steam in each of which he took an important part In his early career Admiral Eberle mapped unknown waters of the.

Bering sea and the Straits of Magellan and participated in the battle of Santiago in the Spanish-American war after he had been aboard the battleship Oregon on its historic run around Cape Horn. He was active in the Philippine insurrection as chief of staff, commanded the battleship Washington at Vera Cruz, and, Bettled the revolts and established governments in Haiti and Santo Domingo. During the World war he developed thousands of young officers for the great fleets while superintendent of the naval academy and later became chief of naval operations, the highest command in the navy. i Ana we wondered if we would have reported it, if we had found the purse. For the temptation would have been great.

The average person always is in need of money, and such an amount would come in handy. It would make a substantial payment on a little home. It would provide new clothing for the family and a supply of coal for the coming winter. It would buy a new car. It would send one of the children through a good many months of college.

There reilly isn't any limit to the number of things that a thousand dollars would do. But it wouldn't be honest to keep the money and use it. That's the way Ollie Secrist, the Muncie coal wagon driver, saw the thing. So he went about trying to find the owner. wouldn't rf PHONE COMPANY DEAL COMPLETE Goodrich Interests Acquire Three Preble County Properties (Hy The Associated Press) EATON, Aug.

A distinguished audience of political scientists, editors and public officials at the University of Virginia's Institute of Public Affairs today gave way to booes, catcalls and shouts during a heated debate on the religious issue in politics. The staid forum of the Institute was converted into a turmoil when Rev. Albert C. DIeffenbach, of Bos ton, editor of the Christian Register and a prominent Unitarian minister declared that a Roman Catholic should not be elected President of the United States and that the voters should face the Issue squarely instead of hiding behind a prohibition controversy. No sooner had he finished his ad dress when John Stewart Byran, publisher of the Richmond News Leader, jumped to his feet and de clared that he was going to vote for Governor Alfred E.

Smith, the Democratic presidential nominee, "to show that this country Is big enough not to be dictated to by bigotry." Dr. DIeffenbach In his address charged that the press of the coun try was throwing out a smoke screen on the campaign. He said that Governor Smith as "a devout Roman Catholic" was "obedient to the doctrine" of that church which "has never relented by a syllable its absolute claim to primacy over the state." Byran was followed by half a doz en others who clamored lor recognition and Victor Rosewater of Philadelphia, chairman of the meeting had to limit each speaker to only a few minutes. Finally because of the turmoil he closed the debate on the issue. Professor John H.

Latane, of Johns Hopkins university, declared that the defeat of Smith in the south would mean the "triumph of intolerance and hypocrisy."

After destruction in the foothills, floods from the latest tropical storm' swirled toward the sea tonight in swollen rivers cf Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, and added hourly to the huge damage toll A dozen cities and towns still were virtually isolated and unofficial estimates of the damage to property and crops, highways and railroads ran into the millions.

Then deaths have resulted and a score have been injured. The most acute situation appeared tonight near Lake Lure, N. where a dam across the lake of that name was reported leaking badly from the pressure of flood waters behind it. The dam is 100 feet high and backs up millions of gallons of water which would be loosed into the broad river should the structure give way. A crew of men was laboring feverishly to save it.

Nearly half of the state of Georgia was affected, with one county, Wilkinson, entirely isolated because of washed out highways and railways. Asheville, N. had no service and only limited traffic was moving from Macon to Thomasville, where, with the floods rapidly re ceding, no further damage was ex pected if rains cease. The trophical storm Itself, which swept up from the West Indies and hammered the west Florida coast before turning Inland, was dissipat ing over the mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. The floods, unlike that which menaced the Lake Okeechobee region in southern Florida this week, are not spread over wide areas, but have wrought their damage as they raced through relatively narrow valleys lined with towns and farming communities and crossed by highways and railways.

Milledgeville, on the Oconee river, saw the stream rise higher than ever before, and tear out bridges and railway fills so that transportation was paralyzed. The water'supply also was cut off. After inundating a section of East Macon last night the Ocmulgee river fell rapidly today but bore new menace to towns further down stream. The towns of Toomboro, Mclntyre and Irwinton county were isolated between the Oconee and Ocmulgee and their numerous tributaries. Pisgah Forest, N.

a village of 300 persons, in Transylvania county was isolated, while water stood above the floors of homes in Ros-man, ten miles from Brevard, S. C. Dozens of towns and communities reported houses damaged or swept away by floods. Fears were expressed for the safety of inhabitants of Yancey county, South Carolina, wno reside in the path of raging torrents now pouring down the Cane and the North and South Toe rivers. Meanwhile, with danger of further flooding subsiding in the Lake Okeechobee district of Florida, Red Cross and health officials were giving careful attention to preventive measures against possible epidemics.

SMITH TO REPLY TO WHITE, WORD Charges of Editor to Bring Comeback From Dem? ocrat Nominee ALBANY, N. Aug. 16. Governor Smith has decided to reply to William Allen White's charges that as an assemblyman he favored the 6aloon and allied interests.

Fortified by an exhaustive review of his own legislative record, the Democratic nominee for President is preparing an answer, but dons not know just when he will make it public. A denial, cabled from Europe by the Kansas editor, that he had "retracted" any of his accusations, put a new light on the situation, in Governor Smith's opinion, and has served to hold up his rejoinder. For several weeks the nominee has been going over legislative records, some of them nearly 25 years old, to check up in detail on his votes on social legislative proposals. There had been some indications that he might not reply, but today he definitely disclosed an intention to do so. In announcing this plan of action, the governor at a conference with newspapermen mentioned the Republican national committee as having made public White's cablegram.

It was designed to correct what the editor regarded as an erroneous impression that he had retracted charges relating to Smith's stand on gambling and commercialized vice. Whether the presidential nominee In his counter blast also will take cognizance of other attacks on bis public record, such as those made by Dr. John Roach Stratton of New York, lias not been disclosed. In view of the fact that there now seems little likelihood that the proposed debate between Smith and the Baptist clergyman will come off, some of the governor's advisers have urged him to Increase the scope of his reply to White to embrace Dr. Straton and other critics, but he has given no inkling of his Intentions Governor Smith is shaping up his rejoinder between conferences with party leaders at the executive mansion where overnight he had as his guest Senator George of Georgia, himself a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination at Houston.

It was to be his third meeting with a southern dry in as many days.

Graham P. Hunt of Cincinnati tonight swung back into the lead over Senator Cyrus Locher of Cleveland.

for the Democratic short term senatorial nomination on the basis of a second mistake discovered today by county election boards in figures previously reported. The Allen county election board tonight announced an oflclal count of Hunt, 1,067, Locher, 1,989, as against an official total reported yesterday of 847 for Hunt and 1,990 for Locher. On the basis of the new unofficial totals, Hunt now leads his opponent by 445 votes, the revised total being Hunt, Locher, 92,949. COLUMBUS, 0, Aug. 16.

Whether Senator Cyrua Locher, Cleveland an avowed dry, or Graham P. Hunt, Cincinnati liberal, has been nominated by Ohio Democrats as the candidate for the short term seat in the United States senate will have to be determined by the official count of the vote cast at last Tuesday's primary. Hunt, who had been Indicated as the winner by ad approximate majority of more than 10,000 votes on almost complete unofficial returns tabulated by The Associated Press, saw that lead virtually wiped out today when election officials in Cuyahoga county (Cleveland) discovered an error of 10,000 in Hunt's vote, whereby he had been credited with that many votes more than he ac tually received. The discovery of that error and the tabulation of the remaining precincts which had not yet reported threw Locher in the lead by a bare 76 votes. Senator Locher tonight issued a statement declaring he has won the nomination and that further check on the Cuyahoga county vote as well as the vote in seven other coun ties will increase his majority and assure him victory.

The corrected Cuyahoga county still shows Hunt carrying the county over Locher by more than 3,000 votes, but the senator says he has information from private sources indicating that majority will be ab sorbed and that the correct vote in his home county' will show he carried it over Hunt. The Locher-Hunt race developed into the closest contest of the primary which was noted for the evenness of strength of many candidates. The complete unofficial returns gave Locher a total of 93,025 votes to 92,949 for Hunt. The error in the Cuyahoga county vote was discovered by the election officials today during a recheck after Senator Locher's headquarters here, last night, had challenged the correctness of the county vote declaring that there was a mistake of at least 10,000 votes. The recheck revealed an error of exactly that many votes.

The Locher-Hunt vote in Cuyahoga county as originally announced by the county, election officials gave Hunt 26,224 and Locher 12,989. The corrected vote gave Hunt only 16,224. If Locher's prediction that he has won the nomination is substantiated by the official county the Ohio Anti-Saloon League will have made a complete sweep of the gubernatorial and senatorial contests on both tickets. For Locher carried the league endorsement as did Congressman Theodore E. Burton of Cleveland, who won the Republican nomination for the short term in the senate.

Myers Y. Cooper, of Cincinnati, Republican, and Congressman Martin L. Davy of Kent, Democrat, who received the gubernatorial nominations also were endorsed by the league. Should the official vote nominate Hunt his victory will mean the dry organization's only defeat in major contests. Hunt campaigned as a liberal wet, pledging support to Governor Al Smith and advocating modification of the Volstead act.

Despite the league's success at the polls the pre primary dispute which arose within its ranks over the exclusive endorsement of Cooper over Congressman James T.
