Tumulty has received a letter from a newspaper man who has just coinpleted a survey of a number of western states, in which prophecies that Minnesota will give Governor Smith a majority of 50,000 or better. Since this man has for years been ratas a most intelligent observer and has generally been in sympathy with the Republicans, the letter has been read I with interest by a number of Democratic leaders here, who had already arrived at the comforting clusion that the New York governor had completed his western swing without any bad breaks and that his speeches had favorably impressed the natives. They further reason that if Smith can carry Minnesota, the same sentiment should swing Wisconsin, Nebraska, Montana and the Dakotas into line for him. Coincident with the letter received by Mr. Tumulty, for many years secretary to the late President Wilson, came another encouraging report from the wide open spaces.

This report had it that at the "psychological moment" Senator Norris will come all the way through for Smith. If this report is well founded it might easily put the finishing touches on the western campaign for the Democrats, as their fight for the old La Follette following, which they must have if they are to realize much in the way of electoral votes, and the Nebraska senator is strong in a dozen states. Smith Is Courting Norris. Smith has been saying pleasant things about Norris and this, gives people the idea Nesome braska senator is only feeling his way for the present and will declare for Smith, perhaps unreservedly, at the proper time and place to do the musi good. It is frequently asserted that Mr.

Hoover really has no strength of his own in many of the farm states. that if he is successful in that territory, it will be necessary to attribute' such success to habit and prejudice, to the fact that a majority of the people long since formed the habit of vot: ing the Republican ticket and to fact Smith is a Catholic. But the people of that section would probably turn a more attentive ear to Norris, than to either Hoover Smith, esrelates to the issue of pecially as farm relief, if Norris should tell farm, "and the old progressive element, that their interests, be would best served by electing the feet of such declaration would be very far reaching.

Oct aside for the time being, his standard as Democratic presidential candidate, Governor Smith came to Rochester to talk state politics today and found the way to his hotel conference room blocked by a huge throng of Rochester citizens who turned out to welcome him back from his western trip. From the time he arrived the depot where a large crowd him a noisy greeting, until he entered his suite at the Seneca Hotel, the Governor. was the center of a wildly shouting crowd.

So dense was the crowd that it took more than one halt hour to drive nominee's car the few blocks to the hotel. A band, playing chiefly the "Side Walks of New York." lead the way and the governor's car was held up one-half dozen times while police cleared the path of shouting wellwishers.

Larry Newsome Pays Raleigh, Sept. Newsome, cied diminutive Wayne county nein the chair here bay for murder of Beulah Tedder, 14-year-old Wayne county white girl. Newsome, aged Wayne coun-1 ty negro, father of Larry Newsome, not claim the body his son nor did Larry Newsome's wife. Mack said he didn't feel like he ought to take, the money other children helped to make and spend burying this "no count one." He is quoted as saying, also, that though he regretted deeply the state's taking the life of his boy, he knew he had committed the crime and the good people of the s'ate said he ought to pay for it, and that, justice is done. The negro's body, it is said, will be turned over to some medical institution.

Larry Newsome, stumpy black negro of uncertain age, was the principal figure in two dramatic trials, both of which ended in his being sentenced to death murder December of Beulathe Tedder, 15-year-old farm girl of near Fairmont. Beulah Tedder was killed December 8 after a desperate struggle with her assailant almost within the shadow of the humble home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Tedder.

A short time later, her body was found, with the head almost severed from the body. Sheriff W. D. Grant and other officers began an investigation, and within a few hours, they had arrested Larry Newsome, who lived a short distance from the scene of the slaying. In the order to prevent possible violence, negro was brought to Raleigh for safe-keeping.

Two days later, Newsome was placed on trial in the Wayne county court house at Goldsboro, with Judge Henry W. Grady presiding. One day did not suffice to finish the case, and it Was continued on the second day, which was Sunday. In the midst of the proceedings, the courtroom 'was thrown into turmoil when relatives of the dead girl made an attempt to seize the defendant. Judge Grady displayed a pistol from the bench, and Sheriff Grant fired into the ceiling.

The disorder was quashed, the trial resumed and Nwsome was found guilty degree murder. Judge Grady sentenced him to die by electrocution. An appeal to the Supreme Court was taken, eventually resulting in a new trial being ordered. The lower court was reversed because of an alleged error in the charge of Judge Grady, and not because of the disturb. ance in court room.

For second trial a change of the venue to Chatham county was granted, and Newsome again faced twelve jurors in Pittsboro early in the summer. Two companies of national guard troops were ordered out by Governor McLean as precautionary measure. They mounted three machine guns overlooking the approaches to the little red brick court house. Within the building, where Judge Romulus A. Nunn was presiding over the trial, a circle of guardsmen, with fixed bayonets bristling on their rifles, stood around the bar, encircling the prisoner.

court officials, and attorneys. The trial was finished in one day without 1 hint of disorder, and Newsome was sent back to the State Penitentiary. Another appeal in his behalf was noted, but it was never perfected, and at the September term of the Supreme court, Frank Nash, assistant attorney general, moved that it be dismissed. The court granted the order. Under the law, the date of execution was automatically fixed for the third ensuing Friday.

Newsome confessed his crime, cers testified at his trial. The defendant did not take the stand. His attorneys argued that he was of low mentality, incapable of fully compreher d- ing the extent of his crime, and therefore should not be given more than life imprisonment.

CARNES CLAIMS HE WAS BLACKMAILED, Large Sums Expended as "Hush Money" to Keep His Prison Record -Says Never Stole Any Such Sum as a Million Dollars.

Atlanta, Oct. evidence on which additional cindictments will be sought against Carnes, former treasurer of Southern the home mission board of the Baptist convention, will be placed before the Fulton county grand jury Tuesday. Carnes, who was apprehended at Winnipeg, Canada, Friday, already has been indicted twice by the grand jury, each true bill charging embezzlement of the board's funds.

"The grand jury will get some evidence against him Tuesday and if we can get more for presentation later in the week it will be offered Friday.

Two officers, John Hudson, assistant solicitor general, and J.

T. Tolbert, deputy sheriff, left here Saturday for Winnipeg to return Carnes here, and local officials were expecting them to experience little delay in gaining possession of the prisoner, in view of his reported declaration that he would waive extradition. Although, so far as could be learned, no Baptist minister, mentioned Carnes' capture nor his confession from their pulpi's Sunday, one or two took occasion outside their churches to scout the hints of blackmail being responsible for the treasurer's defalcations. "If Carnes wanted to do good the church, he could have done it by telling the blackmailers to go to 'hunder," one minister, said. "The Southern convention is through with Clinton S.

Carnes," said Dr. Luther R. Christie, pastor of Ponce de Leon Baptist church and president of the home mission board. "The laws the state of Georgia will take care of him.

Denied to newspaper interviewers, Carnes spent the Sabbath in his cell, much of the time nervously pacing its narrow confines, repeatedly asking when officers would arrive from Atlanta to return him to that city.

Jail attendants said Carnes appears very nervous "over the report that his misappropriations may reach and while he has not denied that he embezzled funds, the attendants say he has termed that figure "an exaggeration." Asked what had become of the funds, Carnes told police, they said, that the greater portion had gone to persons who knew his past as "husn money." Frequently they threatened to bring to light his prison record and large payments were necessary to satisfy their demands, he said.
