UPDIKE CHARGES NAVY NEGLIGENCE
Indianapolis Solon Demands Inquiry Into Wreck of Submarine S-4.
Washington, Dec. 28.—Investigation of the sinking of the S-4 with a view particularly to promoting the use of safety devices on submarines was urged today by Representative Ralph E. Updike, Republican of the Indianapolis district. He wants a special committee appointed to make the survey. Declaring that he felt ihe Navy Department had been “grossly negligent” in not equipping submarines with devices to detect the presence of surface craft, Mr. Updike also criticized the navy for holding submarine tests near Provincetown, Mass. He suggested that, such maneuvers should take place off Charleston, S. C. or Key West, Fla. o Dry Democrats Ready for War Washington, Dec. 27.—The Jackson day dinner of the Democrats, January 12, Avill he the signal for an attempt by party drys to eliminate any possibility of a wet candidate getting the presidential

The dry bloc will represent the Anti-Saloon League, Avomen’s temperance organizations, Senators, congressmen, church organizations and others lined up solidly behind the eighteenth amendment. Its formation has been discussed at numerous conferences here and elsewhere in recent weeks and all is in readiness to launch the dry party movement right after the party conclave next, month. o

The Hickman Reward
ers for further and final action
The Board of Public Works has I thereon by filing a petition there-
Some observers Avho keep close watch on the details of crimes say that the reward offered for the capture of William Edward Hickman, kidnaper of a Los Angeles girl, was as large as any similar sum offered in a murder case. Los Angeles dispatches report that $93,000 has been pledged. Of this sum $67,925 had been collected in cash up to Friday, and $25,000 additional had been played through two radio broadcasting stations. The city of Los Angeles offered a reAvard of $10,000, the state of California $1,000 and the mayor of Los Angeles $1,000. The remainder came through newspaper and radio appeals and volunteers subscriptions. It had been the intention to raise $100,000 and that total likely would have been reached had the capture of Hickman been delayed a day or two longer. How to divide the reward money perplexes the authorities and may lead to lawsuits. The bulk of it, naturally, will go to the two Oregon officers who placed Hickman under arrest. It is argued that some of the money—since the total is so large—should be distributed to all who gave the police assistance. Every person who received one of the $20 bills from Hickman provided a clew. The Los Angeles finger print expert who learned that Hickman was the man the police wanted is suggested for a share. It is doubtful is the large sum held out as a. reward had much to do with the capture. The whole country AVas after him because he was charged with a horrible crime.
WILSON BANQUET AT WINCHESTE
Albert Stump and Frank Dailey Eulogize Late President.
About three Imndred leading Democrats (286 reservations to he exact), from the Eighth district weie in attendance at the Woodtow Wilson banquet held in the Christian church at Winchester, Wednesday evening. It is said to have been the most enthusiastic Democratic meeting ever held in Randolph county, and presages a mighty Democratic victory in 1928. The event is held annually celebrating the birthday of Woodrow Wilson, and each, year has witnessed a larger crowd and more enthusiasm. Among the visitors were the state Democratic chairman, district, chairman, the chairmen of each Of the counties in the district, besides several other Democrats prominent in Indiana poli-
tics.
An excellent two-course dinner was served shortly before seven o’clock by the women of the church. Mhsic during the meal was furnished by the Waltz orchestra, of Ridgeville, which added much to the pleasure of the meal. Don Ward, of Union City, acted as toastmaster, and each speaker was introduced with a fitting story or joke, which brought, much applause from the crowd. Short responsive toasts were made by Abraham Simmons, of Bluffton; Claud Ball, of Muncie; Virgil Simmons, chairman of the Eighth district; Representative George L. Saunders, of Bluffton; John A. M. Adair, Jormevly of Portland, and R. Earl Peters of Ft. Wayne. Mr. Peters, who Is state chairman, outlined some of the problems facing the voters of Indiana as a result, of past conditions, and what would be needed in a state cleanup. Stump Eulogizes Wilson. The principal eulogy of the evening was given by Albert Stump, of Indianapolis, Avho is rapidly gaining recognition as one of the best, speakers in the Middle West. Mr. Stump’s services are greatly in demand on the lecture platform. He is a brilliant thinker, an eloquent orator, and is able to read poetry with the skill of a dramatic artist. Mr. Stump, in opening his arV dress, told of the ideals of democracy, as they originated 123 years ago, when it was still thought that people were not able to govern themseh'es. Liberal government, as advocated by Jefferson, was thought, to be a dangerous precedent and not a means to future expansion and development. Liberty of thought toward institutions and government was considered a hazardous precedent by the men who had formerly held office, but Jefferson believed that a great nation could he best, developed by first developing the minds of the common people, and not in trusting the future of the United States to political favorites and wealthy plantation owners. Mr. Stump said that Woodrow Wilson obtained many of his ideas of government, from Jefferson, having studied his life from the time he began advanced work in the schools. Need Respect For Law. Mr. Stump said at this time we needed to heed the urge of Jefferson regarding law and law enforcement to bring Indiana back to a place of respect among her sister states. He mentioned the criticism which Mr. Wilson received, much of which was caused by Senator Lodge in his petty abuses and criticisms. Yet through it all, the president took all the blame and claimed no honors, merely trying to get his message to the common people. Frank C. Dailey gave a beautiful tribute to Wilson in his eulogy, in which he compared the lives of lackson and Wilson, two men who were almost the opposites, and yet who were advocates of the same principles of government. Mr. Dailey told of having been permitted to make the trip from Ellis Island to the mainland with a group of immigrants, and of the mingled emotions expressed by them, and yet of the potential possibilities which they represented. He then told of the career of Wilson, and of the training that fitted him to lead in another period. Jackson Snd Wilson were both of Scotch ancestry, and it was the ambitions of both their mothers that they become Presbyterian ministers, but. fate seemed to decree otherwise. The mothers of both Wilson and Jackson were immigrants.
