SPY'S DEPORTATION AFTER PRISON TERM FOR BIGAMY LOOMS Nosovitsky Gets Three Years as Jury Convicts Him Full Penalty Recommended. Jacob Nosovitsky, who claims to have been a doctor, Scotland Yard sleuth and international spy, is In a cell in the penitentiary today facing the possibility of deportation to Russia, his native land, following his conviction of bigamy late last night in Judge McLaughlin's part of the County Court. Two agents from Ellis Island were in the courtroom when the jury returned its verdict but made no comment. Judge McLaughlin sent Nosovitsky to the ptnitentiary with a recommendation that he be held there for the full three years sentence. Verdict in Two Hours.

Neither the equalization fee nor the McNary-Haugen Bill are condemned or approved by the platform text as submitted by the Committee on Resolutions. A Republican Congress twice approved the principle of the equalization fee as embodied in the Mc-Nary ILiugen Bill, yet the Republican platform does not indorse it.

A large majority of the Democratic members of Congress, including many from Eastern States, voted for the McNary-Haugen Bill and the equalization fee, yet the Democratic platform fails to indorse It. Both platforms tell the farmer what a fine fellow he is and how much sympathy the platform makers have for his woes. They will give him anything he wants except the equalization fee, which he seems to have wanted most. It is already apparent that this Is to be a campaign of candidates rather than a campaign of issues. The candidates will make their own issues.

At Kansas City and at Houston the platform makers pussy-footed and compromised. Neither Herbert Hoo ver nor Allred E. Smith are going to pussy-foot their way through the campaign. Platforms will be forgotten. The promises and declarations of candidates will be remembered.

The enormous quantity of blah-blah that has issued from loud speakers during the two conventions will have convinced most voters that in the matter of intelligence many politicians seem to rate a low average. They will put their trust In the leaders. They will wait for the acceptance speeches of Herbert Hoover snd Alfred E. Smith to find ou', lint tiw slwuitfii Is gohijj to b-i SI Vienna, June 28 OP) Count Michael Karolyi, one-time Premier of Hungary and before the war one of the richest men in the Balkans, has been denied an application to be allowed to plead as a pauper on the ground of Inability to pay exorbitant legal fees.

The mules will be used on rapidly growing sugar plan tatlons, and the horses will go to the mounted police.

These quadrupeds were parked In the after part of the vessel, in stalls on each side of the hatch. Unloading them, according to Mr. Ward, is a more serious problem than loading.

KALTENBORN Link Between Fish and Animal Candidates, Not Platforms, The Democratic Platform Committee has done the expedient thing.

It has decided to duplicate the performance of the Republican platform makers and has included a specific demand lor the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. Thus Secretary of Commerce Hoover, who is a Dry, and Gov. Alfred E. Smith, who is a Wet, will prove that they can both Moat on the same plank. One of them will sink, but we will have to wait until November to know which one it will be.

In addition to its specific reference to the necessity of enforcing the Eighteenth Amendment the Democratic platform scores the failure of the Republican Administration to achieve efficient enforcement. Only politicians would have the "nerve" to frame that kind of a plank. New York State is one of the Slates where enforcement has been most lax. It has been lax largely because the public and the public authorities have been out nf sympathy with the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act. To be consistent the Democratic platform ought to commend the Republican Administration for its efficient administration of the Volstead Act in such States as Kansas.

The Prohibition plank also condemns the Republican party for putting enforcement into the hands of "political hirelings." Of course if the Democrats come into office and enforcement of the Volstead Act becomes their duty, all the "political hirelings" will be displaced by non-partisan Civil Service anoolntees. Maybe! There Is a close relation between the Rpoubiirnn declaration on farm lelief and the Democratic declaration Discovery of a new "missing link," with a mouth a foot wide called the manatee of Demarcra, Is claimed by Harold Ward, wireless operator of the Furness liner Maraval, which sailed fiom Pier 30, Brooklyn, for Trinidad. The manatee, Mr. Ward said, is part fish, part fowl, and part mamal, and is a missing link between the llsh and animal kingdoms, rather than between man and ape. "There are three manatees you can see swimming around in a little muddy fresh wator pool in the British possession of Dcmarera, of which Georgetown Is the chief city," said Mr.

Ward. "I don't know whether lt bears any relation to the famous fresh water monster, so-called, the ogy-pogy of Oregon, but it may. "A mouth a foot wide Is the outstanding feature of the manatee of Dcmarera, It swims around under water and then comes up on land to eat grass, from which it derives its chief sustenance. About eight feet long, the manatee is a fearsome animal Indeed, although I think it need not bo feared like the shark slnre lt is vegctarlouj rathtr than a.
