Talmadge Gives
Views on State
In Announcement
ATLANTA, Ga.—Eugene Tal
madge, in announcing his candi
dacy for govermor yesterday, is
sued the following statement:
“The office of Governor is the
greatest gift of the people of the
state. This office carries with i
the confidence of the people, the
respect and esteem for the man
who holds it, and also gives. him
more power than any executive in
QGeorgia.
“Realizing the above, in refer
ence to the Governor's office, and
after mature deliberation for the
past three weeks, I have decided
to announce for Governor of the
state of Georgia.
“For the past five years, I have
served the people of Georgia as
Commissioner of Agriculture. If I
did not believe that the farmers
of Georgia had confidence in me,
1 would not have the nerve to
make this race.
“phe moving consideration in
my taking this step is that T can
serve the people of Georgia bet
ter as Governor than I can as
Commissioner of Agriculture.
“Not only are the farmers-of
this state are in a chaoitc condi
tion, but all lines of business have
felt this terrible depression.
“7The welfare of labor, of man
ufacturing interests, commerce,
schools, and every line of indus
try, rests upon farming. The
prosperity of this country depends
upon farming being profitable to
the farmer.
«“All lines of legitimate busi
ness need a fighting friend in the
Governor’s office at this time;

GEOLOGIST DIES
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. —(AP) —
Truman H. Aldrich, 84, former
member of congress and widely
known in geological work, died
here today. Mr. Aldrich became ill
at Tusciloosa lact week where he
was connected with the Alabama
muscu:n of natural history at the
TUniversi.y of Aiabama and was
brought to his home here.
Morris said that before the death
of the ocollege girls, his office was
working on two other similar
cases. His early investigation, he
said, revealed that several city
homes were being used as hos.
pitals.
He estimated a “ring of at least
a dozen doctors” were performing
the operations.
An investigator was assigned to
cheek a report that six university
students submitted to blood trans.
fusions in an attempt to save one
of the co-eds who died. This was
an effort to learn the circumstan.
‘ces under which the girls were
taken to hospitals.
l Dr. W. B. Bizsell, president of
the university, located at Norman
]said he was “determined to get
to the Dbottom of the matter’

HOOVER HAS ENOUEH
VOTES TO MIMINATE
Kentucky's 25 Votes As
sured President of Re
nomination
WASHINGTON—(AP)— Hardly
rnoticed in the flurry attending de.
velopments in the Democratic race
for the Presidential momination,
Fresident Hoover's list of dele
gates today had passed the num.
ber required for his renomination,
As certain as all that had been
his selection as the choice of the
iRc-publivan national convention six
weeks hence. Kentucky's 256 votes
did the trick when they were add
ed yesterday to his prq’vlous
pledged and clalmed total of 675,
which was just three less than re.
quired to nominate,
The status of FPennsylvania's
Democratic delegation, chosen in
Tuesday’'s primary, was still much
in doubt and subject to counter
claims by supporters of both
Franklin D. Rogsevelt and Alfred
E. Smith. There was no question
that the Massachusetts three to
cne vote against Roosevelt had
boosted the stock of the groups
sceeking to stop him, and had as.
aured Smith of great influence in
the Chicago convention,
Scene Shifts
But without' loss of time the
battle shifted to a distant front,
concentrating on next week’'s three
way primary contest in California
between the backers of Roosevelt,
Smith and John N. Garner. Smith
supporters in the east were urging
on their Pacific coast colleagues.
However, as Smith ‘himself ob
served in comment on the result,
lit will take some time for the full
effect of the eastern resyés to
Im:mifest themselves in definite re.
action eisewhere, and show whe
ther the Roosevelt bandwagon can
overcome the sethack.
While the major parties were
thus engaged, out in Omaha, Ne.
braska, the national farmer-labor
convention nominated Frank El.
bridge Webb of San Francisco as
its Presidential candidate, picking
Jacob 8. Coxey, the mayogr of Mas
| silon, Ohio, as his running mate.
Facts and Figures Show Advantage of

NO VERDICT IS
REACHED AFTER
- FIRST 4 HOURS
By WILLIAM H. EWING
HONOLULU.—(AP)—A jury of
12 men of different racial origins,
after four hours of deliberation,
had not reached a verdict Thurs
day in the trial of Lieutenant
Thomas 1. Massie and three oth.
ers charged with slaying Jeseph
Kahahawai for vengeance.
Judge Charles S. Davis ordered
the jurors to retire for the night
at 10 p. m. (3:30a, m., E. 8. T)
and to resume consideration of
the evidence at 9 a. m. Thurs
day(2:3o.p. m,, E, 8. T.) They
received the case late Wednesday
afternoon, y t
Massie, an officer of the United
States’ Navy; his mother-in.law,
Mrs. Granville Fortescue, society
matren, and Albert O. Jones and
E. J. Lord, enlisted men, are
charged with slaying a. native
who allegedly had confessed par
ticipation in a criminal attack on
Mrs. Thalia Massie,” wife of the
officer.
The court ruled the jury could
find the defendants, with the ex
ception of Massie, guilty of sec
‘'ond degree murder, guilty of
manslaughter, or not guilty. For
Massie, Judge Davig said the jury
might make any | one of these
findings, plus a possible verdiet of
not guilty by reason of insanity.
A separate verdict for each of
the defendants was ordered.
Judge Davis also,ruled that evia
dence regarding the assault upon
the accused Naval officer's wife
could be considered only as it
related to Massie’s mental state.
| Burden of Proof s
Relating to the defense conten
tion Massie's mind went blank
when ‘he confronted the mnative
with a pistol and heard him con
fess, Judge Davis instructed that,
if a plea of insanity had been in
troduced, the burden of proof was
on the prosecution to show the
naval officer gane. :
