It was learned from mill officials that in view of the- injunction the mills tomorrow will send between fifteen jand twenty men in to finish work in process of bleaching in order to save it and that workers will be sent in to Unload coal to supply boilers. At {the Riverside division it was planned to send half a dozen men in to weigh and remove cotton now standing on platforms.

When the president's determination to leave office became known, long lines of people called at the presi- dential palace, including diplomats and journalists, to all of whom Dr. Ayora said he was determined to give up office. Hundreds of telegrams from all parts of the republic pro- tested his resignation. Dr. Ayora did not attend a meeting of the cabinet scheduled for today, an incident interpreted as meaning that he considered himself no longer president, and otherwise acted as if he were definitely going out of office. He informed, the Diplomatic Corps that his decision to resign was ir- revocable and also bade farewell to all the members of his secretariat who had served with him for his five years of office.

No sOoner had President von Hin- denburg returned today from a few days’ outing at the presidegfial hunt- ing lodge in Schorfheide than’ the chancellor laid the complete program before him. ‘Phe veteran chief execu- utive not only approved the measures but pledged himself to back his cabi- net to the. limit, emphasizing, how- | ever, that. there must.be no dilly- dallying. It is up to the Reichstag nidtnher- ship, Conservatives, Liberals and Radicals, business interests and farmers to take the Hindenburg- Bruening program or leave it. In other words, the president and his financial aid are willing once more to follow the constitutional method of securing or attempting to secure the Reichstag’s approval of the program admittedly rigorous and drastic and demanding vast sacrifices.

One of the drastic provisions made known was the plan of a special law prohibiting for three years any in- crease in reich or communal expen- 4 ditures.

In. the woods where the stolen cars were found police also discovered equipment for changing tires, motor numbers and othér marks of identi- fication. The machines were returned to/ the District late yesterday. The invyestigation* will be carried further, Gieut. Kelly said last night. The Goding brothers were arrested last Priday by Seventh Precinct po- lice. They are said to have been caught siphoning gas from a parked car. Both confessed to'stealing a car owned by a Dr. Yost, police said, and after lengthy grilling they agreed to lead their captors to the auto cache rear McLean. Here authorities found seventeen cars of various makes and sizes. ' Car Allegedly Stolen. Jackson denied knowledge of the “ring,” but was detained ‘when po- lice reported finding a mumber- changing stencil in his possession. Howard V. Goding, the elder broth- er, is from Tampa, Fia., police said. He left there some weeks ago. Nu- merous District of Columbia and Plorida license tags were found in the car he drove, which had’ been stolen in Florida, according to po- lice. A confession whicr police say they obtained from the Goding brothers came after Hours of grilling to which the pair were subjected.

During the middle of the afternoon, President Whitney, of the Stock Ex- change, mounted the rostrum and announced that J. A. Sisto & Co. has been suspended for. insolvency. The firm was later suspended by the. New York Curb and Philadelphia Stock exchanges. The New York Stock Ex- change has had but four financial casualties among its members since the crash of last autumn, and the first three were regarded as of minor importance. In the past five years there have been only seven failures.

Y., Sept. 30 (A.P.).— | Renominated unanimously for a sec- | ond term by the New York State Democratic convention today, Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt in his speech to the delegates declared that the campaign must be fought out on State issues rather than on condi- tions in New York City. The governor did not. refer speci- fically to the grand jury investigation of alleged judicial. scatidals in the | Greater City. His reference was to the acceptatice speech of his Repub- lican ; onend)Chanigs H.. Cuttte, om] which the: iatterpatter dwelling upon alleged judicial corraption in New York, declared that the issue Was whether the Governor of the State “Is bigger than Tammany Ha!!.” Gov. Roosevelt declared he would not allow the Reptiblican candidate to evade State issues, but would withhold his program until his ac- ceptance speech two weeks hence. “At that time I shall try to make clear not only to the members of my own party, but to all the voters: of the State my position on those tremendous problems which confront us in these dark hours of ‘Republican prosperity,’”’ he said. Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith in his Speech retiominating Gov. Roosevelt today declared office holders un- faithful to their trust should not only be removed from their posts but should be driven from the ranks of the Democratic party and be prase- cuted in the courts. The declara- tion was an amplification of the plank adopted by the convention last night. The fommer governor's statement regarding corruption came in the course of his criticism of the plat- form adopted by the Republican State convention at Albany last week, “The Republican platform,” he said, speaks of corruption in the govern- ment of the cities of New York and Albany and stresses improper and corrupt practices with respect to the judiciary. Certainly that plank can not be aimed against the Democratic Continued on. Page 3, Column 5.
