PLATFORM DENSE, GOMPERS STATES G. 6. P. Policies Scored Before Resolutions Body. By L. C. MARTIN. 'SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.—The republican party's platform is entirely “lacking in principles" through which intelligent and forward looking people can express themselves, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, declared today in presenting to the resolutions committee of the democratic national convention the demands of organized labor. Gompers denounced the republicans as “wholly reactionary.” He warned the democrats that already the “enemies of the party have started a propaganda of abuse” against labor and the democratic party. Homer Cummings’ keynote speech opening the convention yesterday was “masterful,” Gompers said, and added: “Some people may be cleverer In the use of words than others, but If the democratic party hopes to succeed, It must take a clear and definite stand.’’ “We ask you for relief. Keep alive the spark of freedom and you will win if you are thus true to yourselves." Matthew Woll presented labor's platform containing planks for legislation against the high cost of living; against anti-labor legislation: for enforcement of the seamen’s act; the right of public employes to organize; repeal of the labor provisions of the Eseh-Cummlns act; restoration of free speech and a free press. Claims of organized tanners were to be presented following the liquor argument and the Irish question then was to be taken up. Following its organization, the committee plunged into public hearings in an effort to get the platform ready to report to the convention tomorrow. The League of Women Voters of the democratic party presented a plank for federal aid for women in industry. Gov. Sam Stewart urged plans on reclamation, flood control, extension of farm credits and education. Miss Lucy Braham, Baltimore, urged the party to advocate establishing commercial relations with Russia. State Senator Cotiletti, New York, advocated a plank favoring Italy's claims in the Fiume and Dalmatian disputes.

COMMITTEE TO NAME 15 BOYS Applicants for Great Lakes School to Be Determined. A committee composed of E. H. Kemper McComb, Eli Schloss and John H. Lederer was appointed today by L. C. Huessmann, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, to select fifteen boys between the ages of 16 and 20 to attend the summer school at the naval training station at Great Lakes, 111. The Indianapolis recruiting station has been swamped with boys wanting to go to the school since the word went out that the allotment was for sixty boys .’rom Indiana. Lieut. T. E. Orr. in charge of the local station, apportioned fifteen to lniianapolis and two to each of the larger cities of the state. The out-of-city places have all been taken. There have been so many applicants .com the city that the local station organization has been unable to pick the fifteen. For that reason the Chamber of Commerce has been called on for assistance. The school begins July IS. In order to be eligible applicants are required to pars physical and educational examinations and must have the consent of their parents to enroll In the naval reserve for three months. The course will be practical, including various drills without arms, signaling, knotting, splicing, first aid. Athletics will have a prominent place in the school. The only cost to the boys will be the railroad fare one way. They will receive pay of $33 per month while enrolled. Applicants are urged to confer with the Chamber of Commerce at once, as Thursday will be the last day for passing on the eligible men. TAKE NO ACTION ON HAAG APPEAL Rumor Afloat That Druggists Will Withdraw Action.

Following a conference of attorneys for the defense and the district attorney with Federal Judge A. 1. Anderson today, no additional steps were taken in the appeal of Louis E. Haag and Julius A. Haag, Indianapolis druggists, who were sentenced to serve eighteen months In the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., and each fined $10,600 for violating the Reed amendment and for conspiracy. It Is understood that the case now rests where It was Monday morning, on a petition for a writ of error and a request that appeal bond be fixed. v lt Is understood that an appeal bond of $15,000 signed by prominent business t‘i is ready to be presented by the Haags. Attorney Michael Ryan, one of the attorneys for the Haags refused to discuss the subject of the conference with Judge Anderson and declined to state whether the Haag* were Intending to withdraw their petition for a writ of error. There is talk, unconfirmed, that the Haags may yet decide to abandon their appeal and serve the sentence, but attorneys will not discuss that phase of the question. Attorney Ryan only stated that the case Is under advisement, meaning, the reporters thought, that further steps of tie Ilaags were under advisement. In the mAnwbile the Haags are out on bond.

Recover Clothing on Woman’s Confession Following alleged confessions of Helen Rodgers, wife of Fletcher B. Rodgers, alias Shaw, now held on the charge of burglary, detectives today recovered three dresses and a sealskin coat. The garments are said to have been stolen from homes in the north part of the city and the police say the woman admitted she sold them. GUARD WHO LET PRISONER OUT BROKE NO LAW? (Continued From Pare One.) being allowed to accompany his “sick wife” to the hotel. Prosecutor Claris Adams contended | that intent was not concerned In this case. , Judge Berryhlll listened to long arguments by counsel and then sustained ths objection of Mr. Adams. Adams contended that when there was any relaxation of confinement, that constituted an escape under the law because the evidence showed that Hampton's absence from the jail was for indulgence i granted him by Douglas. MRS. HAMPTON TAKES STAND. Mrs. Hampton took the witness stand and testified that she called on her husband while he was a prisoner at the Jail and that Douglas allowed her husband to accompany her in a taxi to a local hotel. She testified that she had a •'fceadaehe and needed attention.” Sheriff Robert Miller, also awaiting trial on an Indictment changing alleged failure to give proper food to prisoners, testified that Douglas was merely a night jailer or night watcher and was not sworn in as a deputy sherlfT. Miller stated that the duties of Douglas was to receive prisoners at night after the regular deputies had gone home. Attorney Ira Holmes contended that Douglas was merely a private employe of the sheriff. The state contended that It made no difference whether Douglas was sworn in or not he was functioning for the sherifl at nights. ASKS DISMISSAL OF DOUGLAS. At the close of the state's evidence, Attorney Holmes moved for the dismissal of the suit against Douglas because the state had failed to prove that Douglas was a deputy sheriff as charged in the indictment and failed to show that Hampton as a federal prisoner was lawfully confined to the custody of the sheriff. When Slierlff Miller was on the stand he admitted that he never had a coa- ; tract with United Mates Marshal Storeu : for keeping federal prisoners. Attorney Holmes contended that there , was no Indiana law requiring the therm to receive fedefbl prisoners. Holmes maintained that Douglas had violated no stuie law in allowing Hampton to leave the jail.

"There will be no dispute by the defense that Douglas did allow Hampton to take his wife to a hotel,” said Holmes. "We will show that Hampton first te. tilled in that federal court during the Jail inquiry that be did not leave the jail and that Douglas told him to go back to the federal court and tell the truth and that Hampton did go back and correct his testimony.” Holmes contended that Douglas did not violate any state laws, and if there was any law violated someone might have violated a federal statute in permitting a federal prisoner to "escape.” Adams contended that 1| was the custom for the sheriff to accept federal pri* oners and the minute this was done it was the duty of the sheriff to see that the process of the federal eonrt was carried out because it was in harmony with the state laws of Justice. DISMISSAL MOTION INKER ADVISEMENT. Holmes maintained that Douglas was not under oath and so violated no state law. Judge Berryhill, shortly before noon, took the motion to dismiss under advisement until 2 o’clock this afternoon. The court admitted that it was a grave question to the court whether a man who was not sworn was legally a deputy sheriff and also a question whether Hampton was In lawful custody It will be remembered that Hampton could not be found at Evansville when Douglas was to he tfied on a charge of permitting gambling at the jail. The state dismissed the alleged gamling indictment against Douglas. Today Sperm) Investigator Claude Worley announced that he had filed an affidavit against Douglas, charging him with knowingly permitting gambling at the Jail. The state, according to attaches of the prosecutor's office, will ask that Hampton be put under bond to 'assure bis appearance as a witness against Douglas in the gambling charge.

COMPLETE PLAN OF H. C. L. FIGHT {•state and Federal Officials Confer Here. Plans for organizing the women of Indiana in a campaign against the high cost of living were completed by Miss Helen Grimes of the United States department of Justice tn a conference this afternoon at the Hotel Severin with Stanley Wyckoff, fair price commissioner, and Miss Eleanor Barker, who has been recommended by Miss Grimes as chairman of the Indiana women's organization. Miss Grimes, who is touring the middle western states organizing the units to fight profiteering by curtailing unnecessary luxuries, opened the local campaign when she visited Indianapolis a few weeks ago. “It is the purpose of the women’s fnir price committee to co-operate with the men's organization,” said Miss Grimes in discussing the campaign. ‘‘The basis of reasonable profit is determined by this committee.” Miss Grimes said that a separate organization for women Is desirable since women have a dierent view from men. "It is not the purpose of the committee to put the merchant out of business,” she said. “Educating the consumer to make intelligent purchases, directing his buying energies to buying necessities only is our purpose.” Miss Grimes said that different parts of the country, different states, and even different parts of the same city would have to work out their own individual plans on account of the different conditions existing In different localities. "Each state form*” Its separate orga nlzatlon. which is under the supervision of the department of justice,” said Miss Grimes. “Wise and sensible buying for all classes of people will be the work of the organization.” Miss Grimes said that individual responsibility plays a great part in the success of tbo work In the state ana the community. She cited as an example of the cooperation of tb business houses the fact that all the vacant lots in Minneapolis have been converted into gardens. “I have found that the merchants when they understand that it i3 not our purpose to Injure them, are willing to cooperate with us, she said. Miss Grimes, who came to Inrilcpapolls from Chicago, will leave tomorrow qught for Detroit, where she will organize the ••Ken of that city.

ROBS PULLMAN SINGLE-HANDED California Police Search for Bold Thief. SACRAMENTO, Cal., June 29—Railroad detectives and hastily organized posses today were scouring the countryside for a lone bandit who late last night held up the passengers on the two rear sleepers of the Ogden Route overland limited on the Southern Pacific railroad and escaped. The bandit, who boarded the train at Davis, Is believed to have been wounded by Albert Rodell, of Cleveland, 0., a passenger, who fired five shots at him at close range as he leaped from tho train. The bandit fired one shot at Conductor Muldowney, when the latter attempted to lock the doors of the sleeper. The conductor escaped by falling to the floor of the car. The bandit forced a brakeman to go through the sleeping cars with him and he held back the curtains while he went through the clothing of the passengers. Railroad officials were unable to estimate the loot secured from the twenty passengers in the two cars. MEET ISSUES AND WIN—ROBINSON (Continued From rage One.) demonstrate the fact that the presidency can not be auctioned. "In August. 1918, Senator Penrose attacked the conduct of the navy on the floor of the senate. “After the close of the war. Admiral Sims repeated that attack. “A senatorial committee Investigated the charges of inefficiency aqd mismanagement. “The result Is that In spite of partisanship repeatedly displayed by republican members of the committee during the Investigation. the honor of the navy ha* been sustained. “Our navy performed an indispensable part In the conduct of the war.’’ OLD SAYING IS BELIED. “It has been said that partlsansalp ceases at the water's edge. “The political record of the last few months belie this declaration. “The republican party in the senate and In its recent convention has repeatedly denounced the president of his foreign policy. “They present to the world the humiliating spectacle of discordant and conflicting factions seeking to discredit the president in his efforts to maintain the respect and eor.fldcnee of our allies. “The Chicago platform declares the policy of the Wilson administration toward Mexico iR responsible for the loss of lives and property resulting to American citizens in Mexico. “Nevertheless, the provisions of that platform regarding Mexico are ambiguous and indefinite. “The president is condemned for asking authority of congress to exercise a mandate fur Armenia. “It has never been contemplated by auy one that the United States should assume that responsibility without first prescribing the terms and conditions of the mandate. “As friends of the cause of the allies the Armenians are entitled to admlniitra-

five assistance and advice. NOT DIFFICULT TO SAFEGUARD. "It would not be difficult for the T'nited States to safeguard its responsibilities and to proceed with the united support of England. France, Italy and Japan, as well as every other member of the league. "The mandate may readily be made self-sustaining. "■Why then should the president's request be treated as audacious} "Great republican leaders, including Mr Lodge and Mr. Roosevelt, In public addresses prior to the war, championed the establishment of a league of nations. "They anticipated and answered with Irresistible logic the very arguments now used against the league. "When the president submitted to the senate the treaty of peace, embodying the league of nations covenant, three factions appeared in the senate In opposition. "The ‘mild reservatlonists’ wanted to remove all possible uncertainty respecting some of the provisions.” '‘The ‘strong reservatlonists. were unwilling to bind the United States to a number of the moet Important undertakings. "The ‘irreconcllables’ drove the majority to the adoption of the Lodge reser rations, which nullified some of the most important features of the league, particularly Article 10. WENT LONG WAY TO COMPROMISE. "The democrats In the senate weut a long way to compromise. "The same democratic senators voted to ratify with the Lodge reservations because they believed ratification without them impossible. “Many of us, however, were unwilling to accept the reservations for two principal reasons: *T. Because we bell-cod they cut the heart out of the league covenant arid made probable the failure of the very purpose the league was designed, the preservation of peace and the prevention of wjrs for conquest. "All factions of the league regard Article 10 as providing the most' important and effective method of preventing future wars, ns Senator Lodge repeatedly stated that the express purpose of his reservation to Article 10 was to nullify that article. "The plan for arbitration of nil Justi flable questions, and for Investigation by the council or league of all other disputes likely to result In war between nations; the agreement to reduce armament to the standard prescribed In the treaty, the commercial boycott, are all vital means for minimizing the prob ability of war, but to be effective they must be Invoked or applied in recognition of the fundamental obligation In Article 10, which binds the members of the league to both respect and preserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and political independence of all states members of the league.”

WILSON POLICIES RULE CONVENTION By ED L. KEEN. SAN FRANCISCO, June 21).—1t is still a Wilson convention. if there were any doubts about it after the spontaneity and genuine heartiness of the delegates at the Wilson demonstration at the Initial session yesterday, theso were removed by the organization and the action of the convention committees. Administration forces dominate all the committees. The expected fight, against Senator Glass as chairman of the resolutions committee failed to eventuate and Ills unanii inous selection for that post Indicates recognition by the insurgents of the inevitable. The committee promptly proceeded to the selection of a subcommittee for the drafting of the platform which Is almost entirely Wilsonian. Bryan was excluded from membership on this drafting committee and lies practically decided to make his personal fight for the bone dry plank on the floor of the convention. In the credentials committee the administration Influence is equally potent, as evidenced by Its concurrence in the national committee decisions in the Georgia and Missouri contests. The selection by the committee on per*

Huntington Woman Has 3 Names in 1 Hour HUNTINGTON, Ind., June 29.—01iv0 ivo Wheeler received a divorce from Millard Winkler at 12 o’clock yesterday noon, her maiden name was restored and at 12:15 a marriage license was made out for her to marry Frank H. Kramer, a chauffeur. A divorce, a marriage and three different names In one hour is a recordbreaker for this court. manent organization of Joseph T. Robinson as permanent chairman is another evidence of the thoroughness of the administration's control. As to the candidates, the situation has become, apparently, “the field against McAdoo.” , McADOO WORRYING ALL OF THEM By MARI,BN E. PEW. SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.—One day of conversational milling In the Auditorium and a Tuesday forenoon steamer excursion in San Francisco bay has not served to unlock the secret hiding place of the democratic presidential candidate, but it Is lnreasingly evident that the several avowed candidates yearn more than anything in this round world to smoke William G. McAdoo into the open. But communication between him and his active little band of treasury and former treasury workers here hns been “cut.’’ they say, and if lie Is brought out of his hollow log It will be coon-fashion, right in the convention hall. There is now no indication of McAdoo saying anything, doing anything, in person or by proxy, to relieve the superheated suspense of, not so much his friends, as his political rivals. NOW ADMITTED HIGH POSSIBILITY. The former secretary of the treasury i now generally admitted here as tho high possibility and his diligent friends, whether formerly associated with him in the United States treasury or otherwise, declare that the suggestion that he Is playing a sleek possum game is an “Infamous Rlur upon a sincere man.’’ There appears to be a fair prospect of clearing the party platform through the convention by Thursday and perhaps the ballot performance will start on Friday, perhaps even Thursday evening. For that moment the Palmerites, Coxites, Davlsl'es, Marshallltes and all sorts of other smaller ites are pining, but maybe there will not be much comfort for them then because MoAdoo's name may not be formally given to the convention at all except as it may rise from the lips of delegates ho will announce votes for him. If this plan Is adopted the McAdoo managers will seek to move the enterprise along very slowly, permitting the avowed candidates U> have their respective flings in the early balloting and depending on McAdoo to wax stronger as the game progresses with consequent possible band wagon consequences. MAY SPOIL IT BY BLURTING OUT.

Some impulsive adherent may spoil thy arangement by blurting right out in meeting and then, again, the McAdoo men may not have the courage to merely set his sail and wait for favored winds to blow. There appeirs no real prospect of a practical coalition of his leading adversaries to biock his progress and deadlock the convention. The bitterness between the camp* of Attorney General I’aimer and Gov. Cox is acrid. The act of a Palmer supporter. * alleged, in starting stories about Cox's twelve-year-old domestic unhappiness, has caused the deepest hatred to exitr end the Palnierltea are on the defensive In their attempt to explain away the i • lrculatlon of the story and try to pre ret.t their condemnation ns "political outlaws" and "poor sports.” It is declared by the Co* men nnhesltntinaiy that nothing could Induce them to trade or in any way engage with Palmer. The wet Issue may not get into the platform, but the wet lasue got Into tbe andidacy controversy, for It was bo< ze which wagged the “scandal" tongue with j boomerang result, according to lobby gossip. XVHEN TO EXPECT 1181 NETTF, STEED. If Cox dot's not show heavily In the balloting, say on the fifth or sixth turn es the wheel, which many expect'he may, nnd If McAdoo'* peculiar candidacy la not on the wing of success by that time, the stable door is pretty sure to opeu and trot forth the brunette steed. Ambassador Davis must not be lost to view In this calculation. But it's any man's guess. Secretary of Agriculture Meredith Is still much discussed us vice presidential material. Opponents of McAdoo were going strong today in their talk concerning “crown prince," “Wilson dynasty," ‘‘ad-/ 1 ministration steam roller," ‘son-in-law inheritance'' and similar arguments “on the negative side,” causing the fuithful treasury band to spit fire in the hotel lobbies or wherever they were wont to gather. - McAdoo is the puzzle in the picture today as heretofore.

TWO YOUTHS GET FEDERAL TERMS Following conviction by a jury on a charge of stealing from interstate commerce shipments of freight, llarry I>urk, 19, and Robert Brown, 19, both of Muneie, Ind., were sentenced to three years each In the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga., today by Federal Judge A. B. Anderson. The. Indictment, returned by the last federal grand Jury, charged that on the night of Nov. 17, 1919, Dark and Brown broke into a box car on the L. 15. & \V. trnoks at Mancie and stole twelve woolen blankets, which they tried to sell for $lO. Dallas Chambers, 19, Munolo, testified Brown and Durk offered to sell the blankets to him. Durk admitted on the stand he had stolen from Interstate shipments eight times and that he had been sentenced two years ago by Judge Anderson, who sent him to the Marlon county Jail. The trial of Louise Wallace, Lynchburg, Va„ and Elizabeth Fautz, San Autonbv Tex., each charged with violation of the Mann act, was continued until the next term of court. They arc charged with the transportation of Lucille Fanje, 19, 4345 Carrollton uvenue, from fndiunupolis to Lynchburg, Va.. on Dec. 8, 1918. The designs were frustrated, it Is said, and the Fanje girl broke away and returned to Indianapolis. Paul Kuhn and William Dorgan ot the Paul H. Kuhn Company of Terre Haute, pleaded guilty to one count of'an Indictment charging them with the shipping of grain from Indiana to Virginia without an Inspection by the federal grain Inspectors, nnd were fined SIOO efcch. The remainder of the counts against them were dismissed when the federal inspectors ngieed that there might not have been any attempt on the part of the defendant!’ to evade the law. Body of Infant Found in Vault The body of a baby girl, about three weeks old. wns found In a vault at a school ho use at Glenn’s Valley in Perry township today. Deputy Coroner George Christian, who investigated, said the body had been in the vault about, a month. He ordered It taken to the undertaking establishment of Royster & Askin. Although the body was clothed, there was nothing to reveal Its Identity.

ASK DAILY BIDS ' ON STATE’S COAL Institutions Go on Hand-to-Mouth Basis. Coal for use in state institutions will be furnished by Indianapolis dealers and brokers through competitive bids submitted to the joint purchasing board each day. Announcements were made today by M. C. Shelton, secretary of the state joint purchasing board, that invitations will be sent to each broker and dealer in coal in the city urging them to submit, before 10 o’clock each morning, lowest prices on coal. The coal will be purchased each day and distributed to the Institutions by the board. COAL CONTRACTS EXPIRE TOMORROW. Contracts which the board now holds for "the supplying of coal for the state expire tomorrow. After that time the board will be forced to buy on the open market^ No other course Is now open to the board, members say, since coal mine owners and operators refused to respond to Invitations to submit bids for coal which were issued in a recent meeting. While the coal consumption by state Institutions is not nearly so great in the summer season as it. Is in the winter mouths, a supply sufficient to maintain the electric lighting plants and the storage plants In the Institutions must be kept on hands. Approximately 500 tons of coal is needed daily during the summer, It is estimated. Communications have been sent the state institutions asking assistance and co-operation in securing coal. What will be done to supply coal for the winter Is not now definitely known. STATE INSPECTOR LOOKS OVER MINE. Carey Littlejohn, state mine inspector, and other mine experts are today inspecting the Minshall mine lu Vigo county, preparatory to submitting a report to the board who will determine the feasibility of leasing the mine to supply the needed coal. Recommendations probably will be made to the legislators In the proposed special session that some mine be leased In order taht the state may secure coal. It Is pointed out by members of the board that by operating a state-owned mine and transporting the coal to the institutions in state-owned cars the cost in curred in purchasing the equipment and leasing the mine would be overcome In a short time by the money the state would save by such action.

UTILITIES SEEK RAISES IN RATES Three Indiana Companies Ask State for Authority. Authority to increase rates, tolls and charges for electric energy and hot water for light, heat and power purposes is requested by the Laporte Gas and Electric Company in a petition to the public service commission today. In a cross petition the Laporte Chamber nf Commerce declares the rates already are excessive and unjust and petitions the commission not to increase them. The Indiana Railways and Light Company of Kokomo, which recently was granted authority to Increase the rates of transportation of its traction railway, today petitioned the public servl e com mission for authority to regulate Its rate* with the fluctuating costs of coal. An order approving the petition would affect subscribers in Howard, Grant, Carroll. Cass, Clinton. Tipton and Miami counties. N A petition, asking an Increase of rates also was filed by the 8t l’aul exchange of the Hope Independent Telephone Company. Authority today was granted by the publtc service commission to the Prairie Telephone Company, Brookston, to the Chalmers Telephone Company, and to the Mohawk Telephone Company to Increase the rates for telephone service. GREEKS SEEK TO SQUEEZE TURKS Significance in Landing Greek Troops at Panderma. LONDON, Juno 20.—The apparent pur pose of the Greek campaign in Asia Minor is to squeeze the Turkish nationalists In a huge pinchers, crushing them without giving them opportunity to os cape, military authorities believed today. The landing of Greek troops at l*anderma under the guns of British warships was regarded as significant. An advance by the Greeks from I’anderma would form the northern *rm of the pinchers, while the other arm is already pushing back the nationalists. Severn fighting was indicated by dls patches from Greek sources stating that in recent fighting around Philadelphia, Asia Minor, large numbers of Turks were slain by Greek cavalry. The nationalists were (lrlveq across the Kermis valley.

Car Control Return to Indiana Is Object The Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations has decided to send John G. Brown, president of the organization, t< Washington, D C., next Monday In an effort to have the control of the car shortage problem restored to the Indiana public son-ice commission. This action was decided on at the conference at the Claypool hotel, follow ing a lengthy discussion of the Indiana situation In movement, of grain crops. Mr. Brown probably will be accompanied by representatives of the public service commission and will appear before the interstate commerce commission. The farmers decided to select representatives from each of the ten districts of the state to form a permanent grain < ora in It tee. Included in the resclutlons adopted at the meeting are the following items favoring checking of extravagance nnd cessation of purchases of nonessential goods; holding of Liberty Loan bonds and Investment of farmers’ money In business; effort, to prevent county bonkers from loaning money for speculative purposes, and warnings against ‘‘wildcat stocks and bonds.” ‘Missing Man’ Puts Blame on Overdose An overdose of medicine that affected the heart, was the cause of the mysterious disappearance of Beryl Dorsey, 30. of 2027 Langley avenue, Lieut, of Police McMurtry said today. Dorsey appeared at his home early yesterday morning, his clothing wet and dirty. He had been missing since the day before when he had driven away in his automobile, promising to return within an hour. He became unconscious soon after arriving home and it was not until last night that he was able to explain what had occurred. Dorsey told the police he had taken some medicine and must have taken an overdose. At that time he was in his automobile in Brookside park. He remembered he became faint. The next he recalled was when lie awoke in the hospital. The missing automobile, not damaged, was found In Brookside park.

Mine Operators Before Commission SCRANTON, Ra., June 29.—C0al mine operators today answered the claims of union leaders at the hearing before the commmisslon appointed by President Wilson to adjust wage differences In the anthracite coal fields. The operators devoted their main attention today to argument by union leaders over excessive profits in the industry. STATE LEGION UNANIMOUSLY FOR MEMORIAL (Continued From Page One.) the enforcement of law and order at all times. It also provided that a state Americanization cotnmlttee be appointed by the department commander with authority to employ a permanent secretary. A delegate from Lake county moved an amendment which would prohibit the speaking of foreign languages in this country after an Immigrant has been here a certain period, but It was voted down on a roll call, 242 to 128. NAME STATE COMMANDER TODAY. The report of the committee was adopted with few dissenting vates. In the report of Robert L. Moorebead of Indianapolis, chairman of the state Americanization committee, he made reference to the fact thjt reports had come to his attention that one of the candidates for state office had been accused of anti-American conduct during the war. It is understood that the man to whom Moorehead referred is a candidate on the republican state ticket. The race for commander will be settled this afternoon, the contest now centering between L. R. Gignilniatt of Culver and Sherman Minton of New Albany. Minton entered the field last night and has made rapid progress. William L. Betz of Vincennes is also a candidate for the office. The vote on the report of the legislative committee indicated that a majority of the delegates favor the construction of such a building, although there were Indications that some of them would demand that the building should be used only by persons who ayere in the service of the nation and not as a civic auditorium to house any convention or other body which desired to use it. The report of the military policy committee also was expected to create considerable interest because the policy of the American legion in the state In regard to universal military training will depend on the this report. Indications that there would be considerable controversy over this question, although the legion as a national organization has approved the plan.The report of the legislation committee Included a request that men who served In the world war be granted the same privileges as veterans of other wars. It also asked provision for the free registration of discharge certificates.
