U. S. ACTS TO CHECK RUM FLOW ACROSS CANADIAN BORDER

COUNCIL TAKES A LOOK INTO CITY’S OASOLINE TANKS Report Says Fuel and Cars Are Used on Sunday— Employes Reply, City councilmen today were considering a report that a city official drove an average of ninety miles a day, using 196 gallons of gasoline a month in a city car. Results of an investigation by a committee composed of Councilmen Walter W. Wise, Ira L. Bramblett and Ben H. Thompson of charges that city cars were being misused and an excessive amount of gasoline used by certain city officials was submitted Monday night at the council meeting. The investigation started several weeks ago when it was rumored city cars were being used to take city employes on Sunday baseball trips to towns where the “Me and Sarah" baseball team played. Report Adopted Edward Mcßride, director of recreation, and John Zenner, lieutenant of detectives, attached to the city controller’s office, were mentioned as “worst offenders.’* The report was read and adopted unanimously. No other comment was made. The report: “We find it has been the custom In the past for city employes to use city machines Saturday afternoons and Sunday's and In some Instances in the evenings. In fact we find that for some time past a truck belonging to the recreation department has been used every Sunday for hauling the ‘Me and Sarah’ baseball team to various cities throughout the State with the exception of May 27 when it rained and no game was played. “Another Car Sent” "We find that Mcßride used car No. 80 to go to Crawfordsville, Ind., on May 25 to make arrangements for a game to be played on May 27. His car developed engine trouble, and he called back to the city for aid and another car was sent from the municipal garage. However, car No. SO came back to Indianapolis under its own power. This is only a sample of how city cars are used. “We find that most city cars are using an average amount of gasoline, but there are some exceptions. For instance, car No. 124, belonging to Zener, has used this month up to May 26. 119 gallons of gasoline; in January. 11l gallons; February, 84; March, 192, and in April 137 gallons. This is a private car.” Zener uses his own car and city fuel is used. “Car No. 80. driven* by Mcßride, used in January 78 gallons, February, 96; March. 135: April. 196, and for May, up to the twenty-fifth, 164 gallons. If in April it ran twelve miles on a gallon, the car would have to average ninety miles a day, counting twenty-six days in the month. This seems Impossible for any city official to do and at the same time attend to business.” The report showed that 3,529 more gallons of gasoline had been used In city cars this year than In the same period of 1922. In 1922, 13.022 gallons and his year 16,551 were used. On Board of Works Order Harry Newby, superintendent of the municipal garage, said today that no cars are allowed to go from the garage or any gasoline Issued except by order of the board of works and that he has all such records on file. The board of work Monday adopted this order: “Harry Newby, superintendent of the municipal garage, is authorized to place openly in the office of the board of works all papers, records and books foi; full investigation by members of the city council investigating committee as pertaining to the operation of the municipal garage.” “Let Them Rave,” Says Mcßride “Why none of those fellows know a thing about what my work consists of or why my car Is on the streets all hours of the day up until 10 o'clock at night,” said Mcßride. “They never talked to me about the matter. So I’m going to keep quiet and Just let them rave.” Zener told several of the councilman immediately after the meeting that if they didn’t furnish a better grade of gasoline he was going to quit using it any way. “No wonder I use so much of that stuff,” Zener declared. “I think It’s the poorest that can be bought. I’m ruining my car and if you don’t buy a better grade I’m going to quit using it altogether.” Klan Holds Initiation By Times Special CARTHAGE, Ind., June 5. —More than 100 robed Klansmen participated in an initiation and meeting on the Henley farm, one mile south of here, Moday nightt. Several candidaes were taken into the organization. Burning of a fiery cross and lights used in the ceremony illuminated the surrounding country.

Dry Army to Be Mobilized Along Dominion Line to Stop Flood of Booze Being Poured Into * New York State, By United Press \ WASHINGTON, June s.—The first step of the Federal government toward assuming full responsibility for prohibition enforcement in New York State will short be taken when a large force of general prohibition agents of the mobile forces will be concentrated on the Canadian border of the State. Alarmed by rapid revival of rum running over the border since the withdrawal of State support, Federal prohibition officials are preparing to act speedily before the border situation gets out of hand.

PERMITS ARE NECESSARY Foreign Crews Must Convince Health Officials Liquor Ration Is Needed. By United Press WASHINGTON, Juno s.—Vessels of foreign countries whose laws require issuance of a liquor ration to ship crews, may obtain permits to bring the necessary liquor into American waters if they can convince public health service officials liquor is necessary to the crews health.

Unless specifically instructed by the department as to what constitutes a reasonable supply of medicinal liquor aboard foreign ships, public health officials will have no alternative to granting permits for the amount of liquor demanded by snips' doctors, officials declared.

“No peace agency in the United States today is doing more to keep the country out of war than the War Department, Itself,” paid Col. George H. Healey, clerk of the Stato board of printing, in commenting on recent conferences of General Pershing's staff in Washington, which he attended as an official representative. Healey represented the sth Corps area, comprising Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. Colonel Healey, who for a time commanded a regiment of the 38th Division in the World War and the 76th Ilnfantry brigade, obtained a leave of absence from the State board six months ago to participate In the conference, “The War Department, although eager for peace, sees the necessity for preparedness now. Mistakes in the last war will never be made again,” said Colonel Healey, “because the conference prepared against any such contingency. Hardly the slightest detail escaped observation of the general staff in considering its preparedness program. “Every element from the hasty calling of draft boards to mobilization of resources was discussed. The Nation was platted into various combinations of districts, mapped from military viewpoints, and determination was made of the quickest and most effee-

COAL FACTS Advice from Washington “A word to the wise is sufficient”—especially if it comes with authority. If you are wise and have read the advice of the Washington authorities whom we have quoted in these newspaper talks, you have been thinking about your next winter’s coal. If you have not already talked with your coal dealer, consider again what these authorities have said: F. R. WADLEIGH, FEDERAL FUEL DISTRIBUTOR, has urged summer storage of household coal “as being to the advantage of consumers generally.” HERBERT HOOVER, SECRETARY OF COMMERCE, speaking in the interests of both the railroads and the coal consumers, has urged the whole community “to stock its coal now.” THE U. S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE has suggested “the immediate purchase and storage of coal” —“as a matter of insurance.” These statements come from men in a position to know just what conditions are. They want you to have coal next winter, and they want the railroads to handle the traffic. They are concerned —not for the interests of the coal mines or of the coal dealers—but for the welfare of the general public. Consult Your Own Coal Dealer. See What He Says.
