From Stuff Cur) eHHindriit DETROIT, Oct. 22 The tide has turned, the first trench has been taken, and the "jjiRantic forces of depression are in retreat." Wearied by one of the most arduous one-day cam-paitfii drives that any candidate for the Presidency ever has undertaken, but in a fighting mood, President Hoover Rave that message of encouragement to an overwhelmingly enthusiastic throng of 18,000 people in th Olympic Arena here tonight. In addition, he promised that if the Democratic House will co-operate, "I will make for the next fiscal year a reduction from the Government expenditure Wain of not of a billion, but of $1,500,000,000." This was a direct attack on Governor Roosevelt's pledge of billion in savings. No sooner had he made the report of the retreat in depression than he nailed it down with a rapid-fire rerital of reasons to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the economic trend is on the upgrade, as follows: Return of $300,000,000 in gold to the United Slates.

Withdrawal of $200,000,000 in currency from hoarding. Increase of 20 per cent, in the value of bonds. Increase in manufacturing. Increase of building contracts. Return of 180,000 workers to factories in August, SGO.00O in September and a prospective larger increase in October.

Increase of car loadings from to 650,000 per week. Increase of foreign trade by 2'i per cent. Some increase in farm produce prices. Virtual cessation of bank failures. Expansion of credit.

)tm a 'f KNOXVILLE, Oct. 22. With a succession of informal speeches from the rear platform of his special train, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt made his way today through Kentucky and into the mountainous regions of Eastern Tennessee on his "courtesy visit" to the South. At Louisville, he was enthusiastically welcomed by more than 50.000 persons this morning, Mr, Roosevelt delivered his last important speech until Monday in Atlanta He attacked on two grounds the Republican thesis that the depression was started by events abroad and that it had seized a goodly portion of the world before It hit this country.

He quoted the finding of the commission under the chairmanship of President Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce, that investigated the causes of the depression of 1921. "Peace time slumps in business ire the direct results of booms so that the boom and not the slump should be the direct object of the attack," he quoted from the report cl this commission. Mr. Roosevelt said that he agreed with that thesis, but that he could not agree with Mr. Hoover "in 1923 and also in 1932, because what he believed il one time is not what he says at mother time."

CITY PRISON Parley by Rival Faction Leaders Ends in Clash; Convict Slain NEW YORK, Oct. 22 (A. A "peace meeting" between leaders of rival factions in the city penitentiary on Welfare Island today precipitated a 100-man melee during which one of the peace-makers, a Manhattan gunman, was stabbed to death. A general riot among the 1560 other prisoners on the narrow island In the East River was imminent for the next half hour, as members of the two factions defied efforts of guards to quiet them.

Dozens of shots were fired before 200 prisoners who were out of their cells were herded back behind bars. It took some of the 500 city police who answered a riot call with shotguns and gas bombs to get the last of the recalcitrants rounded up. Cell Blocks In Vproar Meantime, word of the killing had spread through mast of the cell blocks and hundreds of inmates started rattling cell locks and screaming. Three police observation planes roared overhead while four police launches circled the Island with machine guns ready for action. Police cars raced to the centre of Queensborough bridge and sent squad after squad of bluecoats.

Severe restriction of immigration, liberalization of the anti-trust laws to permit co-operation in the marketing of coal, and the maintenance of a high protective tariff formed the thesis of President Hoover's appeal to the industrial sections of West Virginia and central Ohio as he campaigned from" his special train today on his way to Detroit. Friendly and, in most cases, highly demonstrative crowds of thousands, gathered from the olflces, factories, mines and outlying farms of a politically important belt of the Mifi-western campaign battle ground, welcomed the President and Mrs. Hoover at 14 station stops. Happy over the uniform cordiality of his receptions on the third suc cessive week of his sallies Into this pivotal country, the President turn- ra 10 nis worn as a seasoned campaigner, swinging his hat to the applause, greeting each audience with a local reference and rallying it to the Republican banner. It was by far his most strenuous day ana few Presidential candidates have equaled this record of intensive campaigning.

Attacks Democrats In his short speeches as well as in his longer prepared addresses, the most comprehensive of which was delivered before a throng of almost 20,000 in Charleston, W. this morning, the President aimed blows aggressively at the Democratic Party and its leadership. His opponents planned the destruction ot the tariffs and the Tariff Commis-tion with consequent imperiling of Industrial recovery and the American standard of living, Mr. Hoover charged repeatedly.

SAVED FROM RIVER BY GUARD Man Topples Into Schuylkill, Pulled Out by Sergeant Believed to have been seized with an attack of vertigo as he walked along the east bank of the Schuylkill River near Boat House Row late yesterday afternoon, James Bonner, 36, of 1632 W. Cambria tumbled into the recently dredged part of the river at that point and was rescued from drowning by Park Guard Sergeant Sternlcttow. The sergeant was attracted to the river bank by the screams of some women occupants of an automobile on the East River Drive, who had seen Bonner topple into the water. Sternlettow leaped in, fully clothed, and brought Bonner to a dock, where a passerby pulled the victim and his exhausted rescuer to safety. Bonner was taken to Hahnemann Hospital.Nvhere he was revived and detained for observation.

Physicians said he apparently had suffered little by his experience. Sternlettow went to the guard house, reported, changed his clothing and went back to work. fa Pilabclpfita Jlnqntrrr consists of the following sections today: rara Current News 22 Raiort and StaamiMp Kawt Vataram' Nwa Current Nes 21 Editorial Aviation Radio Nawi and Prorram Boy Scout Nawi Fusilaa Society and Theatres 16 Art Muiio Classified Ads 14 PircI Pott Farm.

But the raiders tried something new, much to the surprise of William Meenahan, well-known proprietor of the cafe. They also raided his home next door and found an astounding assortment of thirst-quenching liquids in the basement. There were 1000 bottles of beer, all of it high-powered, and an assortment of wines and cordials, estimated roughly by Inspector Driscoll as worth "between $25,000 and $30,000."

test of Pirtidriit Hnnrrr'K niUUemt; The most important Issue before the American people right now is to overcome this crisis. What our people need is the restoration of their normal jobs, recovery of agriculture prices and business. They need help in the meantime to tide them over until tlicsp things are accomplished, that they may not go hungry nor lose their farms and homes. I wish to present to you the evidence that the measures and policies of the Republican Administration are winning this major battle for recovery. They are taking care of distress in the meantime.

It can be demonstrated that the tide has turned and the gigantic forces of depression are in retreat. Our measures and policies have demonstrated their effectiveness. They have 'preserved the American people from certain chaos and have preserved a final fortress of stability In the world.

Hoover carried the fight to the opposing camp, riddled Franklin D. Roosevelt's criticism of Governmental expenditures, denounced the record of the Democratic House in the last Congress, and wound up his comment on the Democratic campaign with a withering rebuke of the New York Governor for his reputed stand on unemployment relief through the authorization of wide-spread Fed- cral building projects.
