Sen. Allen Undergoes Operation In Maryland Baltimore, Md., Sept. 10—(UP) — An operation of Senator Henry J. Allen, of Kansas, who is a patient here at the Johns Hopkins hospital, was pet formed today by Dr. Hugh 11. Young, of the hospital staff. Allen arrived at the hospital Monday, accompanied by his wife, hi, daughter, Miss Henrietta Allen, a nurse and his physician, Dr. E. S Egerton, of Wichita. The nature of the patient's illness has not been disclosed. ■> o SHERIFF SAYS STOP GAMBLING Operators To Be Arrested If Confidence Game Is Continued “No more confidence game gambling on the midway.” This was the statement issued today by Sheriff Harl Hollingsworth after he had been called twice in the last two nights to stop alleged “no chance wheel operators” on the midway. Monday night a local man was duped of SSO and last night another local fair-goer was reported to have lost SIOB to the wheel experts. Sheriff Hollingsworth stated that from now on there would no compromises. Both the “sucker" and game operator will be taken to jail and the money in question | will be turned over to the school fund as provided by law, the sheriff stated. Th re are reported to be five or six confidence games on the midway and the Legion committee has done everything in its power, even to the extent of extracting promises from the men to leave town. As soon as the fair committee members leave, the racketeers are back at their game. Confederates are used by the i questionable stands and they win consistently while the “home towners” have no chance of winning. Sheriff Hollingsworth stated that he would not attempt to compromise any more deals but that he would take the operators, “suckers" and witnesses to jail and would immediately file charges against the participants. Bandit Search Starts Danville 111., Sept. 10 — (UP)— Search was extended to Indianapolis, Ind., today for George Lane, former Bloomington. 111., city fireman, accused of having wounded a young woman in an attempted holdup near Bloomington Sunday. Lane, Police said, has been living here for some time but vanished shortly before his apartment was searched. Numerous watches and other articles, said to have been found Li his rooms led police to believe he may have participated in various store and bank robberies in the state. Lane, according to a statement police say his wife made, was shot in the hand during the holdup and later abandoned her. o Tree Sitter Descends Logansport, Ind., Sept. 10. —(U.R) —One of Indiana's last tree-sitters came to earth when Carl Miller ended 1,316 hours among the twigs, to claim a state, if not a national, record. He went aloft on July 16. 0 Fighter Pays Fine Washington, Ind., Sept. 10. —<U.R) —Fines were assessed against Amiel Davey on charges of assault and battery, and trespass, preferred by the Rev. Levi F. Potts, who stabbed Davey with a pocket knife a few days ago after an altercation. Charges which Davey preferred against Potts were dismissed. o Capon Mothers Chicks One of the attractions at the poultry tent on east Jefferson street that is attracting unusual attention is that of an eight pound capon brooding a bunch of small chicks and doing a good job of it. The owner says this is the second brood he has taken care of this year and he seems to like his job immensely. He is a Barred Rock and a handsome specimen. If you haven’t visited the poultry tent, do so and if you have and missed the capon, go back and watch him take care of his adopted family.

TWO SENATORS ARE DEFEATED IN PRIMARIES Hotly Contested Elections Feature Primary Voting In Eight States MAYOR BOWLES IS DEFEATED (By United Press) The growing list of United [States senate veterans who [have been defeated in this year’s primary elections bore two more names today. Senator Cole B1 ea s e of South Carolina and Senator Joseph Ransdell of Louisiana, both of whom have served many terms in Washington, failed to win renomination in yesterday's contests. Other political leade: s who had been well in--1 trenched also found their influence 1 sadly diminished in the primaries. ’ which were held in nine states. Personalities rather than issues 1 decided most of the races. Sen--1 r.tor Ransdell lost the democratic senatorial nominaton to Huey P. ' Long. Louisiana's 36-year-old governor, in perhaps the bitterest state - campaign of the year in the south. ’ In Michigan's three-cornered race for the republican nomination for 1 governor the result was still in 1 doubt and Senator James Couzens 1 was not yet sure of retaining his [ seat. Although leading with half the state's precincts counted, Detroit ballots had figured little in the total. 1 Detroit citizens made effective 1 the recall of Mayor Charles Bowles ‘ by electing Frank Murphy in his place. Light voting was recorded in 1 New Hampshire, Vermont, Washington and Arizona. In the two eastern states republican candi--1 dates appeared assured of election. ' In Washington the prohibitioiuissue figured to some extent, with a wet 1 nominated by republicans to face ' a wet democrat in November in the • CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX) I — oGOVERNMENT GAINS FRIENDS Argentine Provisional Government Is Becoming Established Buenos Aires, Argentina, Sept. ' jo—<u.R)—The provisional government of Gen. Jose E. Uriburu, apparently gaining the confidence of , the nation, made progress today , toward returning Argentina to i financial stability. , Simultaneous with an important meeting of the cabinet to discuss the financial situation, representatives of 14 banks met and decided I to offer the government a loan of 50,000,000 pesos for 180 days at five per cent interest without any guarantees. It was understood the offer probably would be formulated today. 1 Government officials believed 1 the improvement in Argentine bonds and in the peso was one of ■ the chief victories of the revolu- • tion, indicating the confidence of • the nation and the world in the new regime. In addition to the rapidly forming financial reconstruction plans. I the government was faced with the delicate and highly important problem of disposition of the deposed president, Hipolito Irigoyen. , who is ill and held incommunicado [ at the La Plata army post. Government leaders were dei termined not to make a martyr of Irigoyen in the eyes of his supporters in the country, but it was hoped in official circles that the problem would be definitely settled today. i Reports from all parts of the i country indicated complete calm I and confidence in the new regime. I The government officials believed I the danger of internal disturbance ’ was past, although all precautions i were taken against any possible i trouble. With the indignant dei nial of Gen. Augustine Justo of rel ports that oppositionists had been . executed Monday night, the gov- ■ ernment expressed hope such exeI cutions could be avoided but, in I case of further disturbances, the ■ leaders will be dealt with without ’ mercy.

For the first time since pre-pro-hibition days, the treasury this year authorized manufacture of whiskey 1 to replenish medicinal stocks. Six distilleries in Kentucky and . Pennsylvania are producing 2,000,000 gallons this year. Decision has now been reached to manufacture a similar Quantity , next year and permits are expected to be issued soon by industrial , alcohol commissioner James M. Doran to the same distilleries re- , opened this year. The United States annually consumes about 1,500,000 gallons medicinal whiskey. Manufacture of 2,000,000 gallons is necessary, however, to allow for evaporation and , barrel soaks during the four year ; aging period required by law. Stocks of medicinal liquor now ■ on hand aggregate about 8,000, • 000 gallons, or about a four-year . supply after allowing for evaporation and soakage. The liquor being distilled now, therefore, will not be used until 1 four years hence when present (CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX)

ASKS BANKERS FOR MORE AID Osborne Says Bankers Are Lax In Co-operat-ion In Indiana Fort Wayne, Ind., Sept. 10.—(U.R) —lndiana bankers were charged with laxify in assisting the state detective bureau in apprehending bank robbers, by E. L. Osborne, chief of the state bureau of criminal investigation and identification, addressing the Indana Bankers Association convention today. Osborne said several bankers have refused to cooperate in convicting suspected bandits because losses to the bank were covered by insurance and. the bank officials hesitated to send men to prison for 10 or 15 years. He urged that full cooperation be given investigators. Banks, in many instances, are poorly protected from robbery, Osborne said. He advised the bank - executives to install modern burg-lar-proof devices. The convention got under way ' late yesterday with golf matches and a dinner. A business session was on the program today, at 1 which prominent financiers review--1 ed the banking situation. Glenn Griswold, editor of the ’ Chicago Journal of Commerce, spoke on “Better Banking Through Regional Clearing Houses," and W. L. Brooks, Minnesota banker, spoke on “Earnings From By-Products.”
