Federal prohibition directors and all other subordinates, in a lengthy letter of Instructions today were directed to scrutinize carefully the returns filed each month by dealers and winemakers|| who have shipped or delivered wine to rabbis, ministers, priests or other duly authorized church officials. "FORCING DRY ISSUE INTO CAMPAIGN.” Prohibition enforcement may overshadow the treaty as the big issue of the presidential campaign, according to the developments of the last few days In the political situation. As It becomes Increasingly evident that the senate is not likely to take final action on the treaty and that the treaty Issue will be thrown into the campaign there is an apparent movement to dwarf It by injecting prohibition into the fight. This movement is believed to have the backing of some politicians who do not wart the treaty as the paramount issue In November. PLOT CHARGED BY DALRYMPLE CHICAGO, March 2.—Maj. A. V. Palrymple, in charge of prohibition enforcement in the central states, today reiterated the claim that a fund of $250,000 had been raised to "ruin him.” “Most of this amount, I am informed, has gone to the public press,” Dalrymplc Bald.

ANTI SALOON LEAGUE COURTS INQUIRY NEW YORK, March 2.—The AntiBaloon league of New York and William Jj. Anderson, Its superintendent, have been “ready for investigation for twenty years,” Anderson asserted in a statement today in reply to the assembly’s approval of a resolution calling for an investigation of the league, Its finances and the campaign activities of its superintendent. “The Anti-Saloon league has violated no laws,” Anderson declared. “If the assembly wants to waste valuable time and public funds to give ns a certificate to that effect, we should worry.” It will indicate: 1. That the wet acheme to block *!1 honest enforcement of legislation, while pretending to favor It, is about to blow up. 2. That the wet old guard—and Senator Wadsworth —fears that the Jig Is up with them and realize that they must make this attempt to throw a wrench into the Anti-Saloon league machinery ns their last desperate hope of pulling through.

CITY FUNDS BAR RAISE TO POLICE Impossible to Increase Pay, Safety Board Rules. It -will be Impossible for the city to grant Increases In pay asked by policemen, according to members of the board of safety. The proposed new wage scale was brought up at a meeting of the board today. "Under the board of safety’s understanding of the financial condition of the city, we find It impossible to grant salary increases in any department over which we have supervision,” said Alex P. Taggart, president, in speaking for the board members. Members of the police department presented an ordinance to the city council last night asking for substantial increases in pay, but with the uncertain financial standing of the city it appears as though the ordinance will receive little encouragement from officials. minor changes in POLICE DEPARTMENT. Several minor charges were made in the police department today. Sergt. John Bates was reduced to patrolman on recommendation of J. E. Kinney, police chief. No special reasons for the reduction were given. Charges of insubordination and neglect of duty were filed (Continued on Page Eleven.)

THREE LOSE LIVES IN FALL CREEK; TAGGART’S NAME PLACED ON BALLOT

HERO DIES IN VAIN ATTEMPT TO SAVE BOYS John Sullivan, Driver of Auto Truck, Rushes to Water as Boys Go Down. DEATH STUNS MOTHER John Sullivan, 434 Kauffman place, driver for the Patton Transfer Company, sacrificed his life today in a vain effort to save two small colored boys from drowning. Ransall Purcell. 8 yeafs old, and Herbert Purcell, 6 years old, brothers, are the boys who were drowned. Another brother, Verna, 10 years old, escaped. The three boys had started across the ice on Fall creek, one block east of Northwestern avenue, at a point where the water is twenty to twenty-five feet deep. The two small boys fell in the ■water, and the older boy ran to the shore, screaming. Sullivan, who was passing In a motor truck, heard the cries for help. He rushed to the creek bank, carrying a long rope from the truck. He started out on the Ice, with the rope In bis hands. When he was about sixty feet out In the creek the ice gay way and he sank out of sight. All three bodies were recovered after searchers had worked for an hour with boats and hooks. DEAD HERO HAD CHILD OF HIS OWN. Sullivan, who is about 35 years old, had been employed by the Patton company for Just a week, according to H. M. Pattou, his employer, “lie was a fine boy.” said Mr. Patton, “and it is not surprising to me that he made the heroic effort to save the little boys. .“He has a small child himself. His wife is dead and he lives with his mother and father. He had lived In Indianapolis most of his life and always has been a straight-forward, bard-w-orking boy.” Employes of the Harris Transfer Com pany, where he worked before going to the Patton company, also declared that he was “a fine fellow." Verna, the 10-year-old brother, was panic stricken when his two brothers were plunged Into the icy waters. The ice is formed in peculiar manner at the creek where the boys went down, at some places being a great deal thicker than others. This Is arid to be due to varying currents, caused by dredging In Certain part* of the creek. There is a dam just west of the place where the boys were drowned.

DOG SWIMS NEAR DROWNING BOVS. When Verna ran from the scene, however, a big black dog, which was the boon companion of the little colored boys, plunged into the water and swum about the two little’ fellows, who were clinging to the ice, splashing and barking. J ,T. Marlow, 1230 West Thirtieth street, was the first to see the boys in the water. He set up a cry, which attracted Sullivan and his companion on the truck. Elbert DeSha, 12-1 North New Jersey, employed by the Norman Furniture Company, the trucking hauling furniture for this store. When Sullivan sank out of sight ho dropped so Quickly that the others on sbore could not rescue him. An immediate effort was begun to rescue the bodies. G. C. Weis went to a nearby place and obtained a long rod wtth n book on it. Frank Mix, 1003 Elm street, and Joe Drake, 1718 North Alabama street, procured a flitboat from the opposlte side of the treek. They pushed lhe boat out into the river, breaking \ihrough the thin Ice, and began dragging the hook In the creek. The book first caught in the clothes of the younger colored hoy, Herbert, and his body was pulled out. A few minutes later the hook caught on the rope, which Sullivan had carried in his hand. His body, too, was dragged up. The body of the third victim, Ransal Ppreell. was not found until Motor Police Officers Drinkut and Dean dragged the creek bottom with a grappling hook. DEAD MAN’S HAND GRIPS ROPE. Sullivan's right hand was clenched tightly about, the rope with which he hoped to rescue the two boys. It was with difficulty that his death grip on the rope was loosened. Verna, the boy who escaped drowning. was frantic. Colored people in the neighborhood who took him into their home were forced to hold him in their arms to quiet him. The big black dog, which vainly sought to help the boys, lay on tlfe bank of the creek, exhausted from the struggle with the icy waters, and moaned. Time and agnin the dog ran out to the edge of the Ice, sank, climbed oht and jumped in again, DEATH OF HERO STUNS MOTHER Mrs. Bridget Sullivan, kfhdly old Irish woman, mother of the heroic John, was waiting for him with the dinner on the table when a reporter for The Indiana Dally Times arrived at the house. The mother sensed something amiss •when she saw a stranger at the door. Her first question afler learning that John had figured in an accident drove straight to the truth despite the re porter's attempt to break the news gently. “Oh, he's killed,” she moaned. After a few minutes’ silence, broken only by sound of her sobbing, Mrs. Sullivan walled: “And bis dinner is on the table waitin’ fer him, with two pieces of pie. He was a good boy and I know he wasn’t hurted doin’ nothin’ wrong.” Patrick SAlllvan, the father, was advised of hi" son's death as he started to work w-lth the noon shift at the E. C. Atkins & Cos. plant A little son of John Sullivan, James, 7. hung about the skirts of his grandmother as she bemoaned the accident to her son. He has been cared for by his grandmother since the death of ' his mother five years ago. The Sullivans live in a ,modest little home, tucked 'away from the public streets and fronting on Kauffman place. There are but four other houses in the street. The children play in n big com moo courtyard in front of the homes.

PALMER IN RING SPURS ACTIVITY IN M’ADOO CAMP Backers of Former Cabinet Officer to Do Their Utmost in His Behalf. THIRD TERM TALK DIES py a Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, March 2—The announcement here of Attorney General Palmer that he Is a candidate for the democratic nomination for president, coupled with his evident bid for the “administration support,” has lifted the lid off the democratic political pot and the whole contents is seething. liffhicdlately after ralmcr’s annnnnU 1 - ment the friends nnd supporter*! of William G. MeAdoo became more active, '•tttng it be knowrf that they have quietly organized In bis behalf In a number of the states and that while they In rot propose to fight for Instructed ■'"legates to the San Francisco eonvenlon. they do Intend to do everything (hey can to nominate Mr. MeAdoo. >IcADOO*B STAND MADE PLAIN. MeAdoo supporters also let It be known that the former secretary of the treasury is agreeable to their plans, as tong as they do not attempt to place him In the position of a man who ie seeking the presidency in the unseemly manner In which the several republican candidates are now struggling to ger their bands on the delegates. Mr. McAdoo's position has been made plain In his piddle utterances. He does not seek the nomination, but he feels that it 'a his duty to do what the party wishes him to do and If there is sufficient sentiment shown for him he will not be backward in seeing that the sentiment is respected by all other candidates. Considerable interest was shown In what the public generally regarded as the bid of Mr Palmer for the support of the administration. It wis said that there .had been considerable to Indicate that President Wilson would not give active support to MeAdoo even though the latter Is bis son-in-law. DIFFERS WITH WILSON'S VIEWS. In this tonnectlon It was related that MeAdoo was always an outspoken man while In the cabinet and that he did not disguise the fact that he differed with President Wilson on a good many things. Mr. McAdoo's recant assertion that "it would be a shame” to let the treaty lie until after the election was recalled mid It was believed that In this statement he did not reflect the attitude of President Wilson, who Is now said to t* w*l4ng to let the question of rati fleaflerWgo over to the next congress rather than accept reservations the support of which makes It impossible to ratify the treaty at the present time. Whether Mr. MeAdoo will profit or lose by reason of the lack of the president's support In the election I* a debatable question. It Is known that MeAdoo does not desire to be lifted into of fice by any one and that he has expressed himself as feeling that whatever is done for MeAdoo must he done for hltn alone, and not at Mm behest of anv one. ROPF.K McADOO’B CAMPAIGN MANAGER. MeAdoo, it was leanmd, was in Washington yesterday lu coherence with Daniel Roper, collector of internal revenue. Friends of Rope*- said ho will be McAdoo's campaign manager. Word was believed to have gone out from the whltebouse to assure aspirants for the democratic nomination that President Wilson will not be a thirdterm candidate. Heretofore the democratic possibilities have been holding back, watting for Wilson to make himself clear on this subject. Palmer's unnouncement was understood to be the first result of “letting down the bars” Another development of this new policy will be the start of vigorous campaigns by the various democratic candidates. To date the democrats have been laying back while the republican aspirants established headquarters in a number of places nnd went to stumpspeaking tours. The next few wee’-s are expected to see a number of other democrats on the road, Including Gerard, Gov. Edwards, the “wet” candidate. Senator Owen and possibly Champ Clark.

BERLIN, March 2.—At a joint meeting of the Prussian political parties today it was proposed lo put the question of the final disposition of the former kaiser's estates up to the German national assembly to avert a “Prussian political crisis.” Prussian Minister of Finance Suedkuw had drawn up a bill providing for compensation for the Hohenzollern family for the loss of the Prussian throne and the perqulsitles it entailed, but strong opposition from the socialists developed.

Baby Got Measles? Put Child to Bed! "Put 'em to be,d and keep 'em there,” was the advice of Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of the board of health, to parents whose offsprings have been stricken with the spring crop of measles now sweeping the city. According to Dr. Morgan measles Is a contagion that is not. generally considered serious. However, more children die from measles and its complications, he said, than from diphtheria. Extreme care in guarding against exposure of children to the disease should be taken, according to Dr. Morggn, and in case the disease is contracted the patient should be placed In bed and kept there until well. ' Pneumonia and a disease of the middle ear are the most prominent measle complications. The former registers the highest number of fatalities.

Indiana Leaders Ask Unity on Interchurch Movement. Encouraged by the appeals of speakers and leaders In the world-wide plan of Christianization, Hoosier pastors and laymen attending the second day of the Indiana conference of the Interchurch world movement today joined In the program optimistically and whole-heart-edly. Sherwood Eddy, missionary, in a stirring address last night, pointed ont that if America failed to measure up in this 'world-wide program for educational and religious uplift moral delinquency would cloud the world. “This is the greatest movement in four centuries of world history,” said Mr. Eddy, “and it is potentially significant, challenging the co-operative strength 't the world’s Christian forces. Can we here In America regard this work indifferently, while the world is struggling la darkness and misery? Let us reflect that God sees the suffering of the world, and at the same time looks upon the materialism and self-indulgence here.” Mr. Eddy declared he was more alarmed for America than for China and India. Ml ST ANSWER WORLD'S APPEALS. “The world looks to us as the only country that can carry on the major part of the program, for we are the richest country In the world,” he said, “and through co-operation we must anslwer the appeals.” 8. Earl Taylor, general secretary o t the Inter-church World Movement, delivered the keynote address of the session at Tomlinson hall yesterday atfernoon. v In a survey of the missionary field he said thousands of people were starving while America indulged in luxuries and extravagance. “Consider the differences in a land like India, where the daily wage of the workman is about 4 cents, and here, where workmen earn $lO a day.
