IN RULING AT HAGUE Las Palmas Is Given to the Netherlands by Swiss Arbiter. The Hague, April 5 (A.P.).—The Netherlands has been given title to the island Las Palmas (Miangas), lying be- tween the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies. Possession of the island was disputed by the United States and Holland. Prof Max Huder Swiss statesman acting as arbiter, decided in favor cof Holland, The claim of the United States was based on the Spanish cession of the Philippines in 1898. The United States wished to control the island, which is only 2 miles long and three-quarters of a mile wide, be- cause it was believed that it was be- ing used by oplum smugglers as a rendezvous. Smith Vetoes Act On Dogs’ Clipped Ears Albany, N. Y., “april 5 (A.P.).—On constitutional grounds Gov. Smith to- | day vetoed the Shonk bill, designed to forbid the exhibition at dog shows of cogs whelped after September 1, if their ears have been clipped or.cut. In disapproving the “dog bill” the governor suggestéd that the only theory upon which it could ‘ve justified would be that the present custom of clipping dog’s ears is a “shock to public morals,” and as such should be a uniform law as to all places, “circuses, theaters, sea ae cou the public highways and by- wa “If i et prohibited | the apply y alike Ny oo are ne be e meee, 3 . would sciept Pata are | power to fulfil] the trust placed LOCHER, DEMOCRAT, S NAMED SENATOR, SUCCEEDING WILLIS Ohio Commerce Director Chosen by Governor to Fill Vacancy. WILL BE CANDIDATE NEXT FALL, IS VIEW Had Planned to Oppose Fess for Long Term; Coming to Capital April 16. Columbus, Ohio, April 5 (A.P.),— State Commerce Director Cyrus Locher, a Democrat, was appointed late today by Gov. A. V. Donahey to succeed the late Frank B. Willis as United States senator from Ohio. Senator Willis, who was the favorite °* son of the Buckeye State for the Ree publican presidential nomination, died in the course of a political rally in bee | half of his campaign at’ Delaware, Ohio, his home, last Friday night. — Locher will present himsel? in Washington April 16 for the oath of senator after devoting the week in- tervening to the affairs of his State office. Some months ago he an-« nounced he would be a candidate j succeed United States Senator Sim D. Fess for the long term. Now, 1 expected that he will be a cand?! at the November election to su himself next March. Presidency Mentioned. In presenting the credentials of pointment to Mr. Locher in a b ceremony in the governor’s office, A. Meckstroth, the chief executive secretary, said: “We hope that Mr. Locher will ree main in the Senate unti] 1938, wher he should be a candidate to succeed Gov. Donahey as President of the United States.” Locher replied: “I want to assure you that I will not disgrace you in the Senate, and that I will do all in my in me.” Though Donahey has made no formal announcement, he is expected to ap- point Lieut. Gov. Earl D. Bloom to the post of commerce director. In that event he-is undecided who will suce ceed Bloom, he said. Locher, during the five years he has served as commerce director, has been one of the governor's closest po- litical advisers. His work in cleaning up the “blue sky” department, which comes under his administration, won him recogni- tion as a terror to fake stock pro- moters. Was Born on a Farm. The new Senate appointee spent his early years on a farm in Putnam County, where he was born March 8, 1878. He attended the county high school and later entered Ohio Wes- leyan University, where he received the degrees of bachelor of arts and master of arts. Hampered by lack of funds to continue his college educa- tion, he stoked furnaces and mowed lawns to aid him in achieving his am- bition. | He became superintendent of schools at Woodfield in 1903 and two years later entered Western Reserve Univer- sity Law School at Cleveland. In 1906 he was admitted to the Ohio bar and one of his classmates in passing the ~ bar examination was the late Senator Willis. Politics attracted Locher two years later. Newton D. Baker, then city solicitor of Cleveland and later Secre- tary of War, named him assistant s0- licitor. After a brief retirement to practice law privately he reentered politics and was elected prosecuting attorney of Cuyahoga County (Cleve- land). in 1917 he remained out of the po- litical arena until six years later when Gov. Donahey appointed him com- merce director. Special to The Washington Post, Columbus, Ohio, April 5.—Cyrus Locher, Cleveland, who was named to- day ‘by Gov. A. V. Donahey to succeed the late Frank B. Willis as United States senator from Ohio, is described by himself as having no hobby but hard work. He is 50 years of age, looks much younger, is married and has no children. He is a man of independent means, although not wealthy. His money was made largely in real estate investments and from his legal practice. In his general views Locher inclines to conservative progressivism. He was a follower of Tom L. Johnson in early manhood, having been barn on &~ farm of German-Swiss parentage and having arrived in Cleveland as a lawe yer by thé usual school teacher-amm student route. He may be described as neither ai nor dry but not likely to seek repeal or modification of the Volstead law at- the present time. In Ohio, Locher hag” taken a strong personal position against — s legislation which tended to with citizens’ constitutional rights” while never opposing prohibition we os lation as such, ys He is a militant advocate %:; : rm relief.
