Roosevelt-Ottinger Battle Looms as Both Candidates Turn to Water Power Issue "The champion buck passer has nothing to say!" With this curt declaration Boro President James J. Byrne today dismissed the question of what he will do as head of the largest boro in the city to curb the unprecedented crime wave here.

Because of its ever-growing number of holdups and house burglaries. Brooklyn is saddled with the highest theft insurance rates of any boro and any spot in the Middle Atlantic and New England States. In fact, the insurance companies are of the opinion that the rates here should be increased, not lowered as they were in the other sections of the city last Monday. Byrne Changes Attitude. Commissioner Warren will not ex plain this situation, on the ground that "there is nothing to explain.

And now the Boro President adopts the title of "Champion Buck Passer" and says he. too, has notning to say. Boro President Byrne's attitude appears to. have undergone a great change. On Oct.

MOSHER. (Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Ogdensburg, Oct. 22 The conclusion of the first of the two weeks' speaking tours of the Democratic and Republican candidates for Governor leaves the observer with two very definite impressions: The Democrats, in the cities and rural sections alike, are-- fighting as they never have before for victory at the polls on Election Day. The Republicans, with the possible exception of the leaders and the rank and file in Buffalo, are resting on their oars, confident of the outcome on Nr-7.

6. at, if anything, this condition pro' aside from the' fact that the Democrats have been fired to the point of unprecedented action by the selection of a candidate of the caliber of Franklin- D. Roosevelt and that the Republicans expect Herbert H07-ver to sweep the State and carry with him the State ticket, remains to be seen. Ottinger in Ogdensburg. Roosevelt was agreeably surfrlsed at the crowds his street meetings in the southern tier, solidly Republican, drew when he came through there last week.

Attorney General Albert Ottinger believes that what he saw alone thfl same route is no cause for worry. Ottinger's special cars arrived in Ogdensburg at 8 a.m. today. This morning he attended the funeral of Thomas Spratt, well known railroad lawyer and politician of Ogdensburg. At noorl he spoke in the Strand Theater on the farm problem.

He declared "the State as well as the nation must recognize that the farmer is entitled to a fair deal." On the question of taxation he promised to appoint a commission of experts to bring about a more equal distribution of the burden of taxation on the farmer. Water power, on paper the paramount issue of the State campaign, will make its bow to the up-State public this week. Fledges Himself to Relief. In his hour's address Mr. Ottinger said that although real estate today represents only about one-third of the wealth of the State, it pays about 75 to 80 percent of the taxes.

"When I am elected Governor, I propose to appoint a non-partisan commission ot experts to see that this burden of taxation is more equitably distributed and lifted from the shoulders of land poor farmers and other property owners." Moved particularly by the protests Two motorcar thieves were captured in an exciting chase early today after they had thrown a detective off the runningboard of the machine while on the way to the 5th ave. police station. Detective Philip Lyons, 32, of 8219 91st Queens, attached to the 5th ave. station, was walking along 15th st. shortly after midnight when he heard a man shout "Stop thief!" At the same time they saw a sedan pull away from the home of Stephen Flynn at 265 15th st.

Lyons leaped on the runningboard and ordered the driver to stop the car. DEATHS III FULL OF GUGGENHEfiVI HEIRS Medical Examiner Will Call Witnesses Wednes day in Plunge From Roof Investigation of the deaths of Ter-rence Waldman, 4, and Benjamin, his 14-month-old brother, who fell 13 stories from the roof of the Surrey Hotel, 20 E. 76th Manhattan, v.hi'e their mother was with them, will be started Wednesday afternoon by Dr. Charles Norris, Medical Examiner. He has issued subpenas for several witnesses.

The decision to Inquire into the deaths of the children came after Inspector Arthur Carey, chief of the Homicide Squad, had announced that the police would take no further action. The mother oi the youngsters, Mrs. Milton S. Waldman, a daughter of the late Benjamin Guggenheim, has been in partial coilapse since the accident late Friday atternoon. Mrs.

Waldman had taken the children to visit Mrs. Cornelius Rux-ton Love daughter-in-law of Dr. Cornelius Ruxion Love, one of Brooklyn's best-known physicians. The Loves lived in a penthouse atop the hotel, 200 feet above the street. According to the story given by Mrs Waldman, she was sitting on the parapet, near the edge of the roof, holding Benjamin when Terrence became jealous and tried to pull the baby away.

In some manner, she said, the baby fell and she tried to catch him, Terrence also tumbled over the parapet. Patrolman Charles Clair, who found the bodies of the two children on the roof of the three-story building adjoining the Hotel Surrey, today refused to answer any questions put to him by newspapermen. Witnesses have said that the bodies were from 15 to 20 feet from the wall of the Surrey. But Patrolman Clair will not say where he found them. The various officials of the Hotel Surrey say that the police are keeping them as much in the dark as the general public.

They said they understood the case had been closed. A maid employed bv Mrs. Love notified the police of the tragedy and Patrolman Clair was the to arrive. Dr. Norris spent an hour on the hotel roof yesterday.

He that actual measurements showed the top of the parapet to be 23 inches xrom the roof level. He said that he would call Mrs. Waldman if she is able to appear, an! that he would also call as witnesses the man who found the bodies, the manager of the hotel and the police man first called into tne case. The children were buried yesterday at Salem Fields, Brooklyn, in the Guggenheim mausoleum after private services in Manhattan. Kaom n.

Starting on Wednesday with a speech at Boston, the Democratic Presidential nominee will carry his fight to Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, making his final ten days of campaigning before election a whirlwind affair closely paralleling his past Gubernatorial battle finishes. Governor Smith announced he would leave here at 10 a.m. Wednesday for Boston, arriving at South Station at 3:30 p.m.

He said 10-min-ute stops would be made at Springfield and Worcester on the way. Labor Speech In Boston. Only a tentative schedule had been mapped out today beyond the Boston address. Subject to change, it calls for speeches at Philadelphia next Saturday; Baltimore, Oct. 29; Newark, Oct.

31; Brooklyn, Nov. 2, and Manhattan Nov. 3. Governor Smith has Indicated that he might make his Boston address an appeal to the labor elements of that Industrial center. At least one of his six remaining speeches will be on State issues exclusively.

That, he said yesterday, probably would be saved for Brooklyn. Sees Bright Outlook in East Governor Smith is confident that he has bright prospects in the five seaboard States and is preparing to bring his best oratorical talents into play in a supreme effort to swing all five Btates into line for the Democrats. Assessing the results of his second campaign tour yesterday he expressed the opinion that "we have pretty well settled the States we have been In from what I can hear." "Of course." he added, "I never fhared the doubt about Tennessee that was going around. I never believed that, was off the hook, or North Carolina either. I did not know about Kentucky when we started, but I am satisfied with it." Expects to 'Win Illinois.

The Governor said his dptlmlsm also embraced Virginia, Alabama, Texas. Florida, Missouri, Indiana and Illinois. Referring to anti-Smith sentiment Jn some of the Southern States the nominee said all that were heard from all those States "are the noisy minorities." "They are loud but not numerically strong" he added. During the press conference the Governor was led into a discussion of "the value to the people of the candidate taking the issues to them."

Hoover says It must be worked out, constructively.

What does that mean? You would not expect a candidate to say it ought to be worked cut destructively." Asked if he would have a "mythical White House spokesman" if elected, the Governor replied firmly: "To, sir; no, sir! I shall talk for myself. Press conferences daily."

Three days later he admitted he had not taken up the matter with Warren. He had been informed of something that threw a different light on the matter, he said.

That information was that an item calling for 200 additional policemen had been stricken from the city budget by Budget Director Kohler. "Ask Kohler about that," he advised. Had Chance to Act. At Kohler's office it was said that the item was cut out to keep the budget "within reasonable limits." The 1929 budget is now $26,399,865 higher than that for the past year. The 200 policemen would be for the entire city, it was explained, and Brooklyn would have obtained only a proportionate number.

But, came the word from Kohler's office, if Boro President Byrne appeared before the Board of Estimate and fought for more police there was yet time to have an appropriation inserted. Today The Eagle endeavored to learn from Mr. Byrne whether he would do this. The only information obtained was: "The champion buck passer has nothing to say."

1331 sf lmmm ft- ISIIiHlft? verbal tilt between Roosevelt and Ottinger. Last night the Republican candidate answered Roosevelt's attack on I his labor record, delivered by the Democratic nominee to a cheering audience of 7,000 in Buffalo Saturday night. One of the points Roosevelt made was that Ottinger, by voting for the suspension of the full crew bill for railroads, had not been a friend of Labor in the past. Answers Roosevelt on Labor. "It so happens that I was in the Legislature during the war when it was the policy to suspend labor laws to speed up the war." said Ottinger.

"I am sure Labor does not regret the great patriotic sacrifices it made. Everybody sacrificed during the war, and every American citizen is proud he did. I know Labor is no exception." Roosevelt is on the warpath. He follows the mild-mannered Ottinger about the State, but Ottinser's answer to Roosevelt's Labor speech does not indicate that the Republican candidate can be engaged in any red-hot debate. Some comparisons of the candidates on the trip shed light on what is going on.

Ottinger Cold, Roosevelt Boyish. Roosevelt Is almost boyish in his enthusiasm. Ottinger hides his feeling behind a cold exterior. Roosevelt smiles at the slightest provocation. Ottinger seldom relaxes the dignified expression he has had ever since he ran for his special train in Hoboken a week ago.

Roosevelt never allows the slightest recognition on the roads over which his motor caravan is traveling to go unrewarded. He smiles as broadly and doffs his hat as enthusiastically at a farmer looking up from his work as he does at a welcoming committee meeting him at the city limits. Both Men Stand Gaff. Despite the rigors of motor travel and outdoor meetings, Roosevelt appears healthier than when he left New York. "The trip has been a pretty hard one so far," a reporter said to him yesterday.

"How have you stood it?" "How do I look?" he asked. "You look better than when you started." he was told. "I think so." he replied. "I am standing it extremely well." Ottinger. aboard his private car.

is standing the trip equally well. Conservative by nature, he has no difficulty saving his energy. He is seldom more demonstrative than to bow to the crowds. Roosevelt is stressing the fact thai, he knows rural New York and has visited all these cities and towns before. His opening sally at almost every street meeting is "I am glad to be in So-and-So I was here eight years ago." Attended Church.

At the ODenine of his formal inter. view yesterday Roosevelt was asked, "Where did you go to cnurcn inis morning?" "Trinity Episcopal," he replied. "I think I attended that church at a wedding about 20 years ago. I remembered it when I got Inside." The official stenographer inserted in his transcript of the interview, at this point, "laughter." It is only fair to add that among those who laughed was Roosevelt. Ottinger is stressing his record and Hoover's.

Roosevelt does not neglect Smith. Albert Conway of Brooklyn, the Democratic candidate for Attorney General, and his wife, who are making the trip with Roosevelt, had a busy time in Buffalo. Saturday night Conway was the guest of honor at a lawyers' dinner and Mrs. Conway was entertained at another dinner by 50 Democratic women. Yesterday there was a steady stream of callers.

In the afternoon Conway addressed a labor meeting in Dom Polski Hall. FRANCES NEWMAN, AUTHOR, DIES AT 40 Came Into Prominence With "The Hard-Boiled Virgin." Frances Newman, author of "The Hard-Boiled Virgin" and "Dead Lovers Are Faithful Lovers," died at the Hotel Schuyler today. Miss Newman, who had come to New York from her home in Atlanta, to correct the proofs of a new book, according to the Associated Press, was found unconscious from cerebral hemorrhage in her bed last Friday. Pneumonia set in and she died at 9:45 a.m. today She was about 40 years old.

At her bedside were hei sister, Mrs. John L. Patterson of Richmond, and her brother, Henry Newman of Atlanta. The body will be sent to Altanta tor burial. A native of Atlanta and formerly a newspaper woman and librarian.

Miss Newman came into prominence four years ago with "The Hard-Boiled Virgin," her first novel. Her last book is a translation of short stories by La Forgue. BORAH INVADES TEXAS. Dallas, Texas, Oct. 22 (P) Senator William E.

Borah of Idaho today came into the traditional Democratic stronghold of Texas to deliver a speech here which w-as regarded by Republican leaders one of the mos: important thrusts of the campaign to sway Texas to the cause of Herbert i 1 Uooyer, a. 1 500 Roadhouse Patrons Held In Bail in Raid on 7 Resorts Camden, N. Oct. 22 More than 500 persons, many of them girls and young women, were at liberty today under nominal cash bail as a result of preliminary hearings after a series of raids on Camden County roadhouses early Sunday morning. The proprietors of the seven places raided were also freed under $1,000 bail each pending further action by County Prosecutor Ethan Wescott.

The. raids were conducted by the entire staff of county detectives and State troopers amid scenes of wild confusion. To prevent a tip-off the resorts were surrounded and the raids of the 250 tubercular veterans in the hospital camp at Tupper Lake, Mr. Ottinger said, he is working actively for restoration of station WOTol Schenectady of its free channel under the Federal Radio Commission's reallocation. Mr.

Ottinger was to leave on a special train soon after the speech for Watertown, where he was due at 4 o'clock for an address, leaving two hours later for Oswego. The Republican candidate will speak on water power at Oswego tonight. Roosevelt will make water power the subject of one of his addresses this week, probably Tuesday night at Watertown, if a State-wide radio hookup can be arranged. He will also speak about water power in one of the speeches he will make at the windup of his campaign in New York City. Democrats on Toes.

Asked how he felt about -he campaign after the first week of his up-State tour, Roosevelt replied in Buffalo yesterday, "I am honestly very, very much interested in two things. The first is the spirit in the regular Democratic organization. I have never seen them so much on their toes as they are this year. "The second thing is the large number of Republicans who are coming to the meetings. The average political meeting in the southern tier in the past has been confined to steadfast Democrats and a few people who were there more or less for curiosity but this year there is a bigger percentage of Republicans attending these meetings than I have ever known before, and also a very large number of Democrats who haven't come out before.

I am very much pleased with the whole situation throughout the southern tier." Ottinger Is Happy, Ottinger, before he left Utica last night, said of the up-State campaign so far, "This trip is the sort I like to take because in the five days I have not only spoken 21 times but I have met all types of citizens. I am very happy over the way I was received and deeply appreciative of the kindness of the people I have met. "Republican leaders assure me that the vote this year will be heavier than ever before, even In a Presidential election. I have found a tremendous F.epublican sentiment throughout the State. I am impressed with the ear nestness of the people and their tn-tense desire to vote in this Presiden tial alection." With water power bound to be th subject of at least one speech apiece this week, there is every possibility of the campaign at last becoming a Himself to the Press After this morning's press conference had" lasted two minutes and produced exactly nothing Mr.

Hoover said: "Is that all?" with an obvious desire for an affirmative answer. It was clearly apparent that he was not enjoying this particular occasion. Some satiric scribe asked Mr. Hoover whether he is enjoying the campaign. truthful but not artful answer would have been The actual reply made by Mr.

Hoover was at once truthful, tactful and revealing. He said: "I enjoy anything that is mentally stimulating." In so far as a political campaign involves planning, analysis, closet strategy, any kind of private mental operation Mr. Hoover likes it. In so far as it involves press conferences, human contacts, crowds, glad-handing Mr. Hoover suffers it like a valiant Republican, but hates it as a man.

He hates it because he does it so poorly, just as Smith loves it because he does supremely well. Some one asked it was the only significant question which anv one of of New York's finest took the trouble to ask in the course of the five-minute interview: "Do you agree with Dr. Work that the public is tired hearing about oil?" The forced half-smile on Mr. Hoover's face disappeared. A rather heavy frown took its place.

As the campaign has progressed. Dr. Work has become a handicap, rather than help, as campaign manager. Mr. Hoover knows it.

Dr. Work is conspicuous by his absence from the New York occasion. It was unpleasant to have him intruded. "I am not going enter into that." Mr. Hoover snapped back.

That particular question and the manner of the answer killed what ever chance this morning's press con- ierence may nave had of becoming anything more than a perfunctory prediction of victory which might Just well have been written by a secretary and issued bv a press bureau, thus saving the time of Mr. Hoover and of those gentlemen of the press wno wouia make mm a happy war-uoi, in sjite of himself. 1 Today's Big News By H.

JJ Herbert Hoover Reveals Today's newspapers picture a srhil-ing, vigorous, physically fit, happily confident Herbert Hoover who is in New York for the final drive of a successful campaign for the Presidency. Somehow he did not make Just that impression on the writer who has seen him and talked with him on several occasions in Washington and in New York.

The Republican candidate for President received some 30 newspapermen in his suite at the Waldorf-Astoria at 10 o'clock this morning. To one who has not seen him since the campaign began he appears stockier than he was. His face is certainly more Jowly and more heavily lined. Despite long experience he has not learned to be at his ease with the press, nor has the press learned to be at ease with him. The semi-weekly White House conferences with President Coolidge are not noted for warmth, cordiality or informality.

Yet the atmosphere is certainly more mutually friendly and intimate than that surrounding this morning's conference of the political writers with the Presidential candidate. One can understand why the Washington correspondents have had to apologize to home-town editors for failing to put "Hoover, the man" on the first page. Herbert Hoover, the man, doesn't want to be put there. He knows he hasn't got the qualities which would shine there. That may be more of a reflection on the front page than on Mr.

Hoover but the fact remains. There Is nothing human about what the Republican candidate says in a press conference. There is nothing human about the way he says it. He does not like the genus reporter and is frank enough not to conceal his dislike. The scientifically trained mind of the engineer looks with trepidation and disapproval upon the headline hounds.

Instinctively, Hoover, the engineer, refuses to help them popularize Hoover, toe teas, 1 A it 30 of a to as The Prudence Undti Suftcmnm N. Y. 331 Madison Avenue, 162 Remsen Street Brooklyn, N.Y. OFFICES OPEN MONDAYS UNTIL 9 P.M. it IMS P.
