MAYOR SAYS HE HAS BEEN MADE A GOAT Demands of Governor Exoneration -of Charges (By t)ie Associated Press.) Albany, N. Y. Protesting in fiery language that he had been made a "political football- and a "target of hostility and' misrepresentation," Mayor Walker Thursday night demanded of Gov.

Roosevelt complete exoneration of charges on which his removal is sought. This was his reply to the case brought against htm by Samuel Sea-bury, counsel of the republican controlled state legislative committee appointed to investigate sensational allegations of corruption in New York city. The mayor's answer and the governor's action hold national significance because, although 'Roosevelt has declared he would be Influenced by no political consideration, the case has been injected Into the presidential campaign. "It is sound American doctrine," the mayor asserted, "that the will of the people as expressed by their votes Is not to be brushed aside to satisfy prejudice, a craving for publicity or personal dislike of political complainants." Ringing Denunciations The document was packed with caustic adjectives, ringing denunciations and sweeping de nials of all the accusations made against him. Repeatedly he sandwiched in between bits of legal defense open attacks on Seabury.

A.

Michael-son, 2537 South Cypress street, was drowned near the Methodist camp pier. Mrs. Michaelson and Don, a brother of George, were visiting at the Rev. M. L.

Metcalf cottage near the Methodist camp when the tragedy occurred. Rev. Mr, Metcalf Is pastor of St. James Methodist church here. Mr.

Michaelson, who was notified of the drowning, left Thursday night to Join his family at the Methodist camp. The little boy's absence from the cottage was not noticed until 6 o'clock Thursday evening. George, whose nickname was "Georgie," had been playing in the vicinity of the cottages arid the Methodist camp in the afternoon and it was not until late in the afternoon that a member of the family remarked that no one had seen Georgie for about an hour. Pnlmotor-Is Used r-- A searching party was organized after Mrs. Michaelson became apprehensive about the safety of her son.

The entire territory near the lake was combed, but no one thought about the possibility of the lad having been drowned until a cottage owner happened to mention that he had seen a small boy playing on the steamer pier of the camp in the afternoon. The body of the lad found near the pier and abou; 25 feet from the shore. A pulmotor and other methods of resuscitation were utilized, but proved futile. Persons who live at or near the camp said that the boy apparently had crawled from the pier to a boat that was floating in the water. While playing in the boat, he probably lost his balance and toppled Into the water, they added.

The body was taken to a funeral home in Spirit Lake. Two Drown as Seaplane Crashes Coast Guard Boat San Diego, Cal.

(JP) President Hoover Thursday called an extraordinary meeting: of the board of directors of the $3,800,000,000 Reconstruction Fi val agreement. They have settled the reparations question.

That, affray, near the capl-tol inithe afternoon, led to President Hoover's calling upon federal troops to clear the camps which they did with the use of tear gas.

Finally-it was determined to let the troops complete the destruction. They did. and set up a guard there such as was watching over the other three scenes of attack.

The numerous blazes which swept across the Anacostia camp followed a few earlier, which started colncl-dentally with the arrival of the In- fantry and cavalry. It became a matter of dispute whether the soldiers set off these, or whether the veterans themselves had, or whether it had been the grim police. But there was unanimity that the angered veterans themselves started, the final conflagration, since no soldiers near where the fires originated. In a statement Gen. Douglas Mac.

Arthur, chief of staff of the army, expressed his conviction that if the president had not taken his decisive action when he did "the government would have been threatened."

At the height of the day's trading, September wheat futures clambered up to 534 cents, closing at 52 4 to 54 3-8 cents. July wheat, that sold only a week ago for 44 14 cents, the lowest in the board of trade's history, closed Thursday at 51 cents. Other I grains displayed similar while in New York promi nent issues on the stock exchange closed 1 to 4 points higher. The day's trading on Wall street was one of the heaviest since last December, some 2,700,000 shares changing hands.

The best speculative demand in months charted the gains in grain. Reports of bad crop outlooks in American and Canadian spring wheat areas helped the rise, as did a bet ter export demand. In the closing hour of trading, heavy profit taking and hedging pressure forced the market down from the day's high. Wider participation by the public in the rise of grain was suggested by the increased buying of commission houses. The flurries of profit taking, too, were unable to stop the gains on Wall street.
