SCHRICKER TO BE CANDIDATE Expected To Announce Candidacy For Senate At Huge Rally Indiana polls, June 3. <U.R> Lleul.-Gov. Henry F. Schrieker, Indiana's strange political paradox who doesn't choose to run in 1938 '—but will is scheduled to announce his candidacy for the Democratic United States senatorial nomination at a giant rally at Bass Lake in Starke county next -Thursday afternoon. The meeting ostensibly is a gathering of Indiana Young Democrats but they will be overshadowed by the high party dignitaries i who will turn out en masse to pay homage to the man they drafted to defeat Sen. Frederick Van Nuys ant! a Republican nominee in the j fall election. Schrieker is a political paradox j because he has been openly reluctant to accept the senate nomin- i atiom Party leaders have been dickering with him for several ■ weeks, almost from the time they ■=- _ , . “My Skin Was Full of Pimples and Blemishes from Constipation" sacs’Verna Schlepp: “Since using Aiilerika the pimples are gone.

dropped Sant Jackson of Fort Wayne us a candidate, but the little lieutenant governor hus refillled to commit himself. J Even yet, Schrieker apparently. I Ims not declared definitely to anylone, Gov. M. Clifford Townsend in-j eluded, that he will accept the nomination. There was little doubt, however, that a tacit understanding had been reached between him | and the Townsend organization. Schrieker Is vacationing in Washington now and has stated that he hasn't yet accepted the offer, that he doesn’t want it but that he will permit himself to be drafted in the interest of party welfare. | Thursday's meeting will be held in Schrlcker's home county, only a few miles from Knox where he worked as a newspaper editor and small town banker before coming Ito the attention of Democratic I leaders. i Scholarly-looking lieutenant-gov-lernor will share speaking honors , with Townsend and Homer Stone- ■ broker, Democratic nominee for i Second district congressman. All ■ the high command will be present, i including Townsend, national committeeman Frank McHale, Alex i ! Pursley of Hartford City, the gov-, ernor’s most intimate advisor, Dick Heller, the executive secretary, state chairman Omer - Stokes Jackson and most of the j county and district chairmen. If this outpouring were not enough to convince the most skeptical that an important announcement was impending, the letter Heller dispatched this week to all I county and district chairmen should dispel any doubts. It was

I Interpreted us an order for all party workers to be at Bass Lake to send Schrlcker's candidacy off to a rousing start. < Heller worte: “The meeting is of vast Importlance to all Democrats of Indiana. The administration is making a | strenuous effort to have representi atives from every county in the state at this meeing. 1 sincerely | hope that you will be able to attend and bring at least a carload of people with you. Please see to it that your county is well repreI sented.” Leaders reported that at least 5.000 persons will be there. The program will start at 3 p. m. All , the pomp and display of a state convention will attend the meeting. The dignitaries will sit on a raised platform and the spectators will sit on b enches under the trees. A band will play. Townsend, now vacationing in Wiscosin, will arrive at Bass Lake in time for the festivities. Sehricker will be introduced by a life-long friend. Ed Wilker of Knox. Starke i county Democratic chairman. A dance will follow in the evening. I Schrlcker's rise in the Demo-, cratlc party has been almost phenomenal. He was hardly known outside his home district when the organization selected him as Gov. Townsend's running mate in 1936. He turned out to be a happy choice. Since entering the statehouse. Schrieker has traveled up and down the state, speaking to farm groups as head of the state division of agriculture, and has become one of the party's best known leaders. He possesses an independence of thought and speech that appeals

UIUUgUI UUU — Ito many persons and sometimes I embarrasses his colleagues. This I point was stressed last week at French Lick when he told a state meeting of bankers he believes the McNutt re-organization bill placed too much power in the hands of the governor and upset the balance between the executive, legislative and judiciary branches of the government. He also is known to have been privately opposed to President Roosevelt’s judiciary reform bill. A similar but more vigorous stand resulted in Sen. Van ■ Nuys being ousted from the party. ; o OBENAUER WILL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ■ property, including jewelry, silverware, and furniture among the relatives.

1 whistle in the late night. Flames, fed*l»y the dried wood of the hoop mill, lit the sky for mites around and steered thrill-seeking spectators to the scene When city firemen and firstminute spectators arrived the entire mill was seemingly ablaze and attempts at checking the blaze were apparently hopeless until it had spent Itself. Crackling wood and the hissing whistle of new-found fuel for the flames mingled with the cries of I firemen and spectators, creating an excited hubbub. Once or twice blue flames leaped frofn the center of the raging inferno and minor explosions blew sheet metal roofing strips above the blaze. Black ( smoke from burning crude oil billowed up from the fire in huge, clouds. Office, Yards Saved Red sparks and flaming bits of wood floated high overhead toward ; the factory office and wood stock' in the yards. Firemen, however, kept constant watch in an effort to prevent the spreading of the blaze. The Intense heat and danger of "hot wires" that led to a pole transformer kept spectators at a safe distance, at least until after linemen arrived to cut away the , connections. Firemen laboriously tolled at the 1,500 feet of hose hooked to two nearby plugs and dared the blistering heat in a determined but apparently hopeless effort to check i the fire. Red-eyed and tired, the crew under the direction of Fire Chief i Charles Robenold. worked until about 5:30 o'clock this morning and then returned to the station, where they were served sandwiches. doughnuts and coffee by

members of the auxiliary. Absolves Tramps Mr. Porter discredited a suggestion that tramps, who frequently use the hoop mill as an overnight stopping place, could have started the fire. Transients invariably stay In the boiler room and not in the damp vat-room, he stated. Employed 50 The payroll of the plant numberi ed slightly more than 50, Mr. Porter stated. This number Included about 25 in and about the factory. The balance of the crew worked as yard men and truckers. The factory was built in 1912 and was taken over by the present owner in 1915. With the exception ’ of a short time two years ago, the plant has operated almost eontln- ! uously. At present the factory had reached a peak in production and was carrying a full payroll. When questioned regarding fuI ture plans, Mr. Porter stated that it was too early to state whether t or, not the factory would be rebuilt. Second Big Fire Last night's conflagration was the second big disaster of the year. The Krick-Tyndall tile factory was totally destroyed on the night of April 6. Loss there amounted to approximately SIOO,OOO. Not unlike the Krick-Tyndall fire, flames from last night’s conflagration attracted crowds for , miles around. Elmer BaumgartI ner, Berne fire chief, stated that the red-hued sky was visible at Bryant, more than 20 miles distant. Sees Fire First Bryce Butler, with his wife and a group of friends, were the first | spectators on the scene. Mr. Butler, after seeing the 'blaze, drove to the

fire station nearby and called the! firemen. — ■— — ■ ■ o M. E. Church Plans Children Program The children's day program of the Decatur M.
