Thousands of motorists were stopped yesterday and their paper iwmv 'd -v in the drive of State Police which started at midnight Wedneesday in an attempt to make a thorough cUanup of every illegal motorist found on the highways. No figures were available last night at the State House, where Capt Beaupre and his staff v.re s--working on the reports of the troopers operating at 60 joints on Sjtate highways outside cities and towfis.

Approximately 1600 motorists were stopped between midnight and 7am yesterday, and it is certain that when the main stream of tragic started to flow many thousands more were stopped. Cole? Auto Stopped The drive was entirely unexpected. State Police were sent singly from their barracks, so that uffdue attention would not be drawn to them and the stopping of motorists began simultaneously in all parts of the State. Capt Beaupre announced yesterday that the first shift of troopers went off at 7 a and went back to work at noon. Up to that time they had found three cars driven by motorists without driving license or proper registration.

Only one driver was arrested for speeding. About 70 violators of headlight and brake regulations were checked up and summonses will probably be asked for in these cases. In front of the Framingham bar racks, police stopped one tipsy driver, whose car was seized, and he was taken inside the station and locked UP- Gen Charles H. Cole, Democratic nominee for Governor, was held up while on the way to Boston from Worcester. After examination of his chauffeur's papers, the State trooper pasted a safety sticker on the wind shield and allowed the car to go on.

Drive May Be Extended Autoists with the stickers were allowed to go along unmolested during tne rest of the day, and will escape stopping in further drives of this kind. An interesting feature of the reports yesterday mornings work by the State Police was the amount of traffic found on State roads during the early morning. Troop at the Framing-'bam barracks, stopped 815 cars in Middlesex. Essex and Norfolk Counties. In Williamstown 112 cars were stopped and in Wilbraham 200.

While it has not been confirmed by Capt Beaupre or Sergt Richard Townsend of Gov Fuller 'p safety cqpimittee. it is rumored that the drive will be extended to the Metropolitan area, where most of the cars of the State are registered and where half of the licensed drivers live. criminal records coming out of Tammany Hall. Predicts Hoover Victory Now, I do not ask you to Judge Gov Smith by his associates. It would be too severe, but I do not hesitate to say that to remove Tammany Hall from 14th st in New York to Washington would, be hothing leas than a national disgrace- And furthermore, the' American people are not going to do it.

(Applause). Now, that is all I care to say at this time abotu oil. Onlythis, I have only this to say in conclusion. That this 15,716,000 nominated and elected a clean, honorable ticket in 1924. About 20,700,000 are going to elect a perfectly clean ticket in 1928.

I am not a prophet, but I venture to say here tonight that Mr Hoover will be the next President of the United States. "5'c557eve'CTF' the war. The speaker denied the truth of that statement and challenged Gov Smith to produce any public -document or any other docuihent signed by Mr-Hoover in which the latter had sail that the price of farm produce should te reduced. Senator Borah contended, on the contrary, that Mr Hoover had done everything in' his power to keep up tho.) prices. Many quotations from official papers were quoted on this point.

That portion of the speech was not particularly interesting to a Boston audience and was plainly given for the benefit of persons, who at remote points, were listening in on the radio. For a few minutes it looked as though the address might not be above the average of political speeches, but in a few minutes, when the speaker had turned to the tariff and other issues, he carried his audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. He quoted Gov Smiths familiar statement of a few years ago that the tariff was a cold-bfobded holdup and put that beside some of the things the candidate has said on the question in recent weeks.

Charge Smith Is Attacked Because of Religion Vritsr, a South Carolinian, Says South Will Destroy Party Sprcial Dispatch to the Club NEW YORK, Nov 5-John Rakob, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, tonight made public let-ter ent to Zeb Vance Walscr of Lex. ington, by United States Senator George H.

Moses of New Hampshire, with the request that Walser get it published in North Carolina newspa-pers. Mr Raskob sent photostat copie of Senator Moses letter, written on aa official letter head of ths Republican National Committee showing the New Hampshire Senator to be chairman of the Hopver Eastern advisory committee, to Mr Hoover and Dr Work by special messenger. Neither answered Chairman Raskob's letter. The Demo, crattc chairman In giving out th letter said that it proved the Republican National Committee was assisting in the attack on Gov Smith on religious grounds. The Moses article Is entitled, if This Be Whispering, Mr Moses' letter to Mr Walser said It had been written by a native South Carolinian at present engaged In editorial work In New York city.

The copy of the article as given out says: His first fortnight of campaigning shows why Mr Smith is so desperately puying bigotry and other personal issues; he has none other. It goes on to say that "Gov mith belongs to a church, which does not recognite as valid mar. rlage outside its own rites and denies sanctuary in the grave save it be hallowed in the language of Rome." It rays that from one so holding, the erv of bigotry is a whine of hypocrisy and an insult to the intelligence of tire American people. After several pages of further st. tack upon the Governor, the article as given out says in part: Nor has Mr Smith reckoned with Southern womanhood, an American type of which he is supremel ignorant; a type known to old New indeed, but not to th new New York.

Mr Smith, appealing for the tradi tional Southern support of his party, is appealing to traditions he never even heard of. For the South is not going to dignify the little brown derby or the little brown jug by taking up arms against them. The Couth is going to do a far more tragic thing; It going to destroy its party. Echo Joe Robinson is an innocent- bystander. The South blow will be the end of Al Smiths political eai reer.

Weighted with the flattery cj Tase friends, mill-stoned with self-pity, Smith sinks vaguely into his-t tory, a dying party's last sigh. MOSES DENIES EVER SEEING ARTICLE RASKOB CHARGES NEW YORK, Nov 2 (A. George H. Moses, Republican Eastern advisory chairman, tonight, when shown a copy of what was said to have been the pamphlet he wa charged with having sent to Zeb Vanci Walser of Lexington, said So far as I can recall, at I think I have a good memory, I never saw this form of words before. Asserting that he had never yet descended to a discussion oi the question involved in the document, he declared that he would decline "now to be involcved on it.

However, when people will descend to rifling United States mail and lng a Federal law, during a political campaign. I do not wonder that the? will descend to other methods. One of the choicest recollection of my boyhood is that of my father, the Baptist preacher in the State of Maine, offering his arm to the parish priest td lead the procession of the clergy of the town to the town hall where the Garfield Memorial exercises were to be held. I could not be false to that memory and I will not be. Here in New Jersey where I am tonight we have seen a similar attempt to yoke Republican party and its organization up to a religious warfare.

We have scrupulously maintained an attitude of abstenslon from that kina of warfare. PETER J. SLINEY Funeral services for Peter J. Sline. who sacrificed his life in the interests of medical sc ence, will be held Sunday afternoon at him home, 129 West Concord st.

South End. There will be a military funeral at tha Cathedral or the Holy Cross at 1:30. South End Post A. L. will be in charge of tna military ararngements.

On Monday morning at 8:30 at the Cathedral a high mass of requiem will be celebrated. During the War, Sliney served on a Navy transport. At the close of the war he voluntarily submitted to the In jectlon of influenza germs from a dying person into his own system in order that specialists might find a remedy for the dread disease. Bronchitis de veloped as a result of the injection and Sliney was later stricken with tuber After an eight-year struggle for his life the end came Wednesday at the Veterans Bureau Hospital, at Rutland. It is planned to have a most Impressive service for the young hero of the World War.

When SUney enlisted in the Navy he was only 19 year old. When llney became involved In difficulties with th Veterans Bureau over the payment of compensation he a materially assisted In his fight by City Councilor Michael J. Ward. After Sliney had submitted to the injection of influenza germs he was ill that he was unconscious In a hospital for a week. He had only been allowed a 48-hour leave by the Navy and was consequently held for a court martial.

The matter wa finally straightened out satisfactorily and the dishonorable discharge which Slinev received from the Navy was overruled. mrs mXrynT BLINN The funetal of Mrs Mary N.

O. P. Victory Now there is nothing more vital in the closing hours of this campaign than the revelation of the policy upon which the prosperity ot this country has beeiUjgJ aS informed his escort that there were only a few persons in the hall and it would not be worth delaying the speaker on hiy way to the Arena. It was announced in the hall that Cites His Achievements Greeted with almost violent acclaim by the few who were able to hear him in person, and ever mindfu of the vast radio audience that listened to him at the conclusion of Mr Hoover's speech, the Governor rather forgot the latter in his effort to assure his fellow townsmen of his appreciation. The gist of his talk was that he had successfully grave problems in New York State, many of them despite the opposition of the Republican party, 'and that Ire was eminently qualified to continue this struggle on a larger scale in Washington.

Extolled Running Mate He effaced himself to a large degree as he extolled his running-mate. Senator Robinson, his friend and political benefactor, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and those who will be conferees on the State ticket next Tuesday. In explain mg that he proposed to devote himself to State issues, he asserted that they were relative to national affairs, since one and the other founded on the same basis. "No man in the history of this State has had as great reason to be grateful to its people as I have had.

he asserted. Day of Frenzied Enthusiasm Tonights speech was the climax to a day of frenzied enthusiasm that started when the left his hotel to take the principal part in the first parade of which he has ever been the honored member In New York. His party reached the Battery shortly before noon, and AJ Smith rode triumphantly between' the sidewalks of his home town amid cheering which swept the confetti-fogged streets. With the candidates for State election, he went up Broadway, finding a welcome that was greater even than the superlative greeting to1Liindbergn, and one which made his eyes grow mistier thn the rain could have warranted and his heart somewhere in the legun of his Adams apple. Police Lines Break Down town New Yoik was riotous in its enthusiasm for the "Happy War nor," and as he went further north he met school children, who represented the only school that he attended, saw the police lines break at Madison sq, as thousands lushed towards him: w-atehed 5th av in holiday garb, and with its greatest crowd in history, try to crash through the solid line of police blue and snake his hand.

According to Chief Inspector Lahey, head of the uniformed police of New York city, his 6000 policemen held back at least 3.000,000 people from the Battery to 59th st. It was one of New Yorks greatest days, and certainly one that will Remain deep in the mind and heart of A1 Smith, whether he wins or loses his attempt to ascend the steps to the White House. No heme town ever gave greater demonstrations of affection than those which were found by the man from the sidewalks of New York. 40.000 Clamor for Admission After his speech tonight, the Governor returned as soon as possible to his headquarters at the Biltmore, to rest before completing the final effort, to be delivered tomorrow night In Madison Square Garden. After that he will come befoie the people only once again, on election eve.

when he follows Mr Hoover on a Nation-wide radio hookup. At 3 oclock this afternoon the first of the 3000 people holding seat tickets came to the ancient Academy of Music, with Its broad stage and balcony and galleries and boxes decorated with flags and banners. An hour later every seat was taken and the police lines were formed a block around the old structure. By 7 oclock thousands had come from the subways, trolleys and taxicabs to find police lines drawn four blocks from the theatre. Before long 40.000 people were clamoring for ad mission to the police lines and being held back despite tickets, cards from political leaders or anything else that might be proffered in hopeless attempt for recognition.

rt The stage itself was crowded with the local Kings County Democrats, who for the first time had the opportunity to see their Presidential candidate at close range. Ovation for Roosevelt At 8 oclock Franklin D. Rooosevelt came to the stage through an emergency entrance, and those inside' the theatre heard the cries of thousands in the streets proclaiming him as "our next Governor. He wag assisted down the improvised gangway, despite his constant protests, Im all right; let me alone. He was smiling happily as the crowd greeted him and showed no traces of fatigue nor of disability, except for his uncertain steps.

He was determined to show the people of Brooklyn that he could walk mighty well without assistance. The entrance some time later of Mrs Smith was wildly acclaimed; she took her seat in a lower box, carrying a huge bouquet of white chrysanthemums, given her by the Kings County delegation. In the box with her were her daughter Emily, and Alfred E. Smith Jr. Speeches were made by United States Senator Royal S.

Copeland, State Controller Morris Tremaine, and Mr Roosevelt. The Governor came at 9:48 and the applause was deafening until he insisted on silence at 10:12 oclock. Because of the small size of the theatre there could be no mass comparisons with former ovations, though the band playing, the singing and the cheering were as enthusiastic in proportion as ever. THREE WOMEN HURT IN FALL RIVER CRASH FALL RIVER. Nov 2 Mrs Aurora Robert, 32; Mrs Theophlie Robert, 73, both of 87 Ellen st, and Mrs Valerie Ledoux, 63, of 318 Earle st.

New Bedford. were injured and taken to the Union Hospital, while Rev Alfred Bon-neau, curate of St Annee Church, New Bedford, who was also a passenger in the automobile driven by the first woman, was badly shaken, when-the car struck the rear of another one operated by Mrs Celia M. Yamlns of 1219 Highland av, at Robeson and Locust sts. this afternoon. The automobile occupied by the New Bedford residents was overturned.

After the three women had been removed to the hospital, it was anounced that Mrs Aurora Robert was the most seriously injured, having suffered internal injuries. ttvt 43 rrzjcz ct ttvjs0 5 d'yrvr Cm BORAH AGGORDED GREATRECEFTION Continued From the First Fage been expected; there was no need of an overflow, as the second balcony in the back of the Arena was not filled, but as Mr Borah did not begin speaking until 10:45, the attenaance was rather remarkable. And if the auai ence lacked anything in size, that Je ficiency was compensated for in enthusiasm. The fcenator received a tremendous welcome when he appeared on the platform and another when he rose to speak, introduced by Robert M. Wash burn, president of the.

Roosevelt Club. Francis Prescott, chairman of the Republican State comxrfittee. called he company to order and presented Mr Washburn. The doors to the Arena had been opened at 6:30, four hours before Senator Borali was scheduled to speak, and some of the people sat in the hall during that long period, but by no means all of them, for they drifted in until the speakings "began. Many of those who had taken part in the torchlight parade were on hand to hear the distinguished visitor.

Answers Oil Cry He was quite at home on the platform. There were many interruptions, most of them friendly, but some hostile, and none of them disturbed Mr Borah. The most effective portion of his speech, indeed, was an answer to someone who shouted oil while the speaker was dieussing prohibition. The Senator expressed his complete willingness to talk about oil and did so for several minutes, to the delight of the crowd, which at that point cheered and shouted its loudest. After a few introductory sentences, Mr Borah began: The questions which will be presented to the next administration ace those which touch vitally upon the citizen in his daily living in one way or another, not only to his material welfare but to his moral welfare, and we can spend our time to advantage by exchanging views concerning these matters before we discharge our great obligation of citizenship on the 6th ot November.

As the great campaign nears its close the one dominating, directing and controlling factor, it seems to me, in helping us to make up the verdict is the fitness and the ability of Secretary Hoover for the great job which he seeks. (Applause). Praises Mr Hoover Hoover, whether we would have it so or not, has an ability which touches life at almost every point. There is scarcely any activity or government that does not leave its impression either, through legislation or administration: And I have found, wherever I have gone In this campaign that the great interest and appealing things to the men and women in the North and South, the East and West, is the character, idealism and patriotism of Herbert Hoover. (Applause) I have been down throuh the Southland and I have found there not only hundreds, but literally thousands and thousands of men and women who never before cast their ballots for a Republican candidate who are now going to vote for Mr Hoover for President.

Charges Shift by Smith Senator Borah then went on to say that, as far as he has observed. Gov Smiths attitude today on every public question is different from the position he took before became a candidate for the Presidency. The speaker accused Gov Smith off changing his position in regard to the St Lawrence canal and quoted Gov Smiths states ments on that matter. The speaker paid considerable attention to Gov Smiths position on farm relief, quoting from various statements which the latter has made. He said that the candidates only real suggestion was the appointment of a commission to study the question.

As a matter of fact, said Mr Borah, 'Gov Smith has suggested a commission for every disputed matter in this campaign with the exception of prohibition; that he proposes to handle himself. This matter of relief to the farme-g is sometimes supposed to be a question of importance to the farmers only. As a matter of fact, it is national question which is just as important to Massachusetts and to Boston as it is to the farmers themselves, for no Nation can be prosperous when agriculture is not prosperous." Defends Price Policy Mr Borah then turned his attention to Gov Smiths statement that Mr Hoover had reduced th price of the farmers products immediately aftqp RECLUSE IDENTIFIED BY HIS FINGERPRINTS Continued From the First Fage as Christmans.

'Retort to Police Chief The identification was made by the Jersey City police from the fingerprints that the Somerville police had cent to Police Departments throughout the country in an attempt to learn the real identity of Hill.

Chief Kendall informed Hill that lie had been Identified by the Jersey City police as a man arrested by them for carrying a revolver.

He asked him to comq clean and break the silence Jie has maintained ever since his arrest. Thousands of men are carrying revolvers in this country, retorted Hill," Whats that to do with my stealing In Somerville. Shuts Up Like Clam After his brief retort to the chief, Hill shut up like a clam. Hill Is under arrest on a charge of robbery and is being guarded constantly by three police officers, who are on duty in eight-hour shifts. According to these officers, he has failed to disclose a single detail about his past or his real identity.

Several women have called at the hospital and identified him a the man who snatched their purses, but even this has failed to draw any comment from Hill. Today inquiries will be made of the Pennsylvania authorities to see wnat information they have to offy about Hill. Capt Thomas Damery said last night that he will present the evidence he has against the man to the Middlesex Grand Jury next Monday and ask for a robbery Indictment, so that Hi.T' will be arraigned in the Superior Court at Fast Cambridge instead of the District Court when he is finally able to leave the hospital.

GEN COLE TELLS HOW LIEUT GOV ALLEN VOTED FALL RIVER, Nov 2-Speaking here tonight, Gen Charles H. Cole, Democratic candidatevior Governor, accepted Lieut Gov Allens challenge, and named' a dozen, cases where he said Allen had voted against ythe peeple while a member of the Massachusetts Legislature. He also cited evidence to prove his statement that Alien was the representative and official of two companies which belong to the Armour Packing trust. I charged my opponent with being in the employ of Armour A Co rep-resentatived of the beef trust, Baid Gen Cole.

He does nofc. deny that statement, hut some of his friend have charged that I misrepresented him. Here are the facts, which can'TSe found on pages 1531 to 1533 of Moodys Manual of Industrial Corporations for 1923 My opponent is president of Winslow Brothers and Smith, Incorporated, 100 percent of whose stock is owned by the J. K. Mosser Leather Company.

He is chairman of the directors of the J. K. Mosser Leather Company, IOC percent of whose stock is owned by Armour Co. of Delaware, who are in turn owned by the Armour Company of Illinois. Do the voters of Massachusetts want as their Governor a man who is at the head of two companies in this State who are 100 percent owned by the great meat packing firm of Armour Co.

or do they want a man who is free from all entangling alliances and will act only in tho interests of the people themselves? In 1918. while a member of the Legislature my opponent voted against the bill providing fdfThe establishment of old age pensions; he voted against a bill providing for further protection to the consumer in the sale and distribution of milk. He voted for a hostile amendment to a bill authorizing cities and town tp provide for the common necessaries of life and shelter for citizens during time of war, public exigencies or distress. He voted against permitting voters of cities and towns affected to record their opinion upqn the acceptance of the Public Control act of the Boston Elevated Railway. He voted against a bill authorizing cities and towns to provide citizens with homesteads.

In 1919 he voted agalnsi a bill to regulate the hours of bakery workers. He voted against a bill to provide further aid for mothers with dependent children. He voted for the bill requiring furniture movers to' report to city and town authorities to and from where people were moved. This bill made furniture movers spies upon the people, to aid collection agencies.

Coolldge today appointed a delegation of 12, headed by Secretary Whiting and including Charles A. Lindbergh and Orville Wright to represent built up and the high standard of wages have ben built up. Lets keep it in the hands of those who have believed in it fmthe beginning. Lets intrust ourselves to those who are not in danlger of having any lapse of mind upon it after the election, said the Senator. Senator Borgh ten began to talk about prohibition.

He defended the attitude of the Republicans and said that the question would "never have become an issue in the present campaign if Gov Smith had stood 9 the platform which his party adopted at its national convention. The speaker was in the midst of his argument on this matter, and had paused for a second when somebody shouted, Oil. Mr Borah said: I heard somebody say oil. Just a moment. Just leave the gentleman alone.

I will discuss It wltn him. I am perfectly willing to discuss it. Gov Smith said a great deal, about the oil question and he said that Mr Hoover was subject to criticism as a Presidential possibility because he did not himself criticise hi3 fellow member of the Cabinet who was found to be at fault. Attacks Tammany Now, my friends, no one more than myself despises the miserable character and betrayal by the men who despoiled thi Government of itsright-ful possessions in the oil reserves. But those men are gone or going; they were and they have been driven into seclusion, some of them jail, and all of them connected with It ought to be there.

But my friends, in 1924 there were 15,716,000 people voted for Calvin Cool-idge as President. I say that 15,716.000 voted for Mr Coolldge. That means at least 15,700,000 as clean and patriotic men and women as live under the American flag. That is the Republican party that I speak for tonight. But t) those who speak about oil and criticise Mr Hoover because he did not denounce' his associates, I want to ask you who have been the of Gov Smithin Tammany for the last 40 years.

Yes, for 40 years, and during the time of his membership, Tammany Hall has robbed New York eby of hundreds ot million of dollars. Quotes Times Editorial Let us talk about associates for a few minutes. Let riT read you an editorial from the New York Times about Gov, Smith's associates: 'Tammany Hall has. a record. It professes to cherish the people, but it always intends to exploit and debauch them.

New York Is just as much a disgrace as it was 59 years ago, because it has been ruled and is ruled by this secret and self-appointed oligarchy. Then it says in regard to Mr Murphy, who had just passed away, He was the exemplar ami beneficiary of a system without official responsibility, and which condemns New York city to suffer from maladministration end the lowest standards of public office, Now, what does Gov Smith say about Murphy, the Tammany leader who died? 1 am suffering from the loss of a close personal friend. There was no tnore plain, wholesome, rightliving man than he." There are now members of Tammany Hall on the way to the penitentiary, and a large number more who ought to be on the way to the penitentiary. And yet this is the man who said that Mr, Hoover should be criticised for not speaking against a man for whom he had no resconsi. bility.

''hen he himself ejtols his GIVES RECITAL OF POETRY AND MUSIC Laura Huxtable Porter at Jordan Hall At Jordan Hall last evening an audt ence of fair size attended a recital of poetry, drama and music given by Laura Huxtable Porter, pianist and lit rary interpreter. Poems and excerpts from poetic dramas were recited by Mrs Porter, who followed each rendering with the on the pianoforte of a of r' which she considered to exhibit an emotional to carry ct tho same atmosphere or to suggest a similar scene. In her introductory remarks, Mrs Porter disclaimed any intention of subordinating the music to the poetry, or vice versa, or of letting the one illustrate the other. Her design was rather that the poem should prepare the mind for the enjoyment of the music, or that the latter should continue and heighten the mood induced by the former. Miltons sonnet on his blindness was followed by Bachs Intrata in minor (from a cello suite).

The scene of Hal's courtship (under linguistic difficulties) of his French Princess (from Henry was followed by a graceful old French dance La Ro-manesca, to represent the charming Princess, and by old John Bulls The Kings Hunting Jig, to represent the bluff King Hal. From this latter example it appears that Mrs Porter's disclaimer of illustrative intention Js like Stravinskys earlier protestations that his works were not program music, to be taken in a Pickwickian sense. In following likewise a reading from Synge's Deidre of the Sorrows by the slow movement from MacDowelis Keltic sonata she was clearly misled by the composers label rather than by the music itself. Shelleys To the Night and an extract from his The Invitation were followed respectively by Chopin D. flat Nocturne and G.

flat Waltz, and other groupings included De La Mares The Listeners and Porters Ada gio, Dalys From Napoli and Luz-zati's Serenade, Mrs Porters own The Pipers Tune" and Henry's 'While the Piper Played and a Tagore poem with a Scriabin Albun Leaf, Mrs Porter's sincere reverence for her poets and composers is obvious in all her work. Her careful characterization is however accompanied by a slightly over-emotionalized diction which sometimes defeats her evident desire to be clear and euphonious. As a pianist she plays, musically, with much attention given to beauty of tone and phrase and a technical equipment quite adequate to the task she seta herself. Only by her erratic and arbitrary variationa of rhythm and dynamics in the straightforward piece by John Bull did she invite serious criticism of her playing. She was warmly applauded.
