TAGGART HEADS DEMOCRATS AT NATIONAL MEET Hoosier Delegates Go SelfPledged for Senator Ralston for President. Headed by Thomas Taggart, party leader, the Indiana delegation to the Democratic national convention will go to New York, the convention city, self-pledged for United States Senator Samuel M. Ralston of Indiana for President. Taggart, member of the Bren ha n-Taggart-Tammany triumvirate in National Democratic politics, again demonstrated his leadership in Indiana when he was victorious in his fight for the nomination of Dr. Carletdn B. McCulloch. Indianapolis, for Governor. McCulloch could have been “put over” 'on the second ballot after favorite sons had been given their complimentary vote, it was said today, but the party boss refused, saying he wanted every candidate to develop his full strength. The State convention bowed to the wishes of Senator Ralston in allowing delegates to go uninstructed, but the hand of Taggart was igair. seen as the delegates met today for organization s.nd pledged Ralston support, naming Taggart as chairman of the delegation, to the Indiana solon. The Indiana delegation will leave Indianapolis on the “Indiana Special” via the Pennsylvania Railroad at 4 p. m. June 21. Stops will be made at Richmond and Ft. Wayne. Reservations have been made at the Prince George Hotel. Thirty-four delegates with their wives and many friends will comprise the Hoosier party. Walter Myers, Indianapolis, is secretary and L. G. Ellingham. Ft. Wayne, treasurer of the delegation. Charles A. Greathouse, Indianapolis, Democratic national committeeman, and secretary of the national convention, will join his fellow Hoosiers in the Ralston boom. Thursday was a day of eloquent speeches interrupted by riotous applause and marked by spirited balloting for State offices. In most cases, however, the nomination of the winning candidate was made ! unanimous by acclamation. The weary delegates and equally j weary spectators straggled out of Tomlinson after chairman John S. McFadden, Rockville, announced the convention adjourned at 8:30 p. m. Only once did the Ku-Klux Klan, touted with considerable strength, rear its head in the convention. Objection Hooted Down This followed reading of the platform by W. H. O'Brien, chairman of the resolutions committee. A delegate from the Second District objected on a point of order to adoption of the platform. He. was quickly hooted down and the platform adopted almost unanimously wirh a weak scattering of “noes” from the Second District delegates. When the name of Olin R. Holt, Kokomo, Klan candidate was presented for Governor, hisses and hoots filled the hall. Mayor George R. Durgan, Lafayette, anti-Klan | candidate probably received the largest ovation of any State candidate when his name was presented for nomination. The race for Governor lay between McCulloch, and State Senator Joseph Cravens, Madison. McCulloch developed a landslide on the third ballot, and Lincoln Dixon, manager for Cravens, motioned to make McCulloch’s nomination unanimous. Senator Charles Batt, Terre Haute, withdrew name for Governor on the second ballot and a great majority of his strength went to the Indianapolis man. The third ballot resulted: McCulloch, 892: Cravens, 284; Durgan, 35; Dale J. Crittenberger, 72; Frank A. Priest, 4, and Holt, 1.

K. WIZARD AND WATSON CONFER; ‘NOTHING’—JIM Mayfield Attorney Also in on Confab in Capitol Nook, By C. A. RANDAU Times Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, D. C„ June 6. Senator Jim Watson of Indiana is much sought after by the national heads of the K. K. K. these days. While the committee investigating election of Senator Mayfield of Texas is debating whether or not it will go into the entire Klan question. Imperial Wizard W. A. Evans hangs about the capitol corridors. During a brief recess of the com mittee Thursday Watson, Evans and Senator Mayfield’s counsel retired to a quiet nook of the Capitol to talk about the weather or something else. Returning to the committee, Watson was asked by a reporter regarding his conference with the imperial wizard. Showing surprise that his conference had been observed, Watson almost at once regained his nonchalance and replied, “Oh! Evans merely wanted to know whether the Republican party would have an anti-Klan plank in this year s platform.” Watson walked on before he could be asked since when was he writing the platform and also what part a Mayfield lawyer, a Democrat, had in a Republican platform construction. ELLIOTT PREDICTS PAVING TROUBLE Former City Engineer Sees Poor Streets in Future, Trouble is in store for Indianapolis in obtaining desirable street paving materials, according to John L. Elliott, former city engineer. Elliott, who was succeeded bv, Frank C.

Spencer. Lingenfelter recommended eliminating concrete. Elliott indicated that further trouble was brewing among contractors.

BOBBED HAIR HELD FIRE PRE VENT A TIVE

Newman T. Miller Lifts Ban on Sheared Locks as Defendants Win Case by ‘Weight of Evidence,'

The famous bobbed hair case connected with the State fire marshal’s office was officially closed today when the court ended litigation through a ruling, lifting the ban on sheared locks. Six months ago? Newman T. Miller, fire marshal, acting in his capacity as chief of the works, banned bobbed hair among the girls in his office. The defense prepared evidence in its own behalf and submitted it to Miller, whereupon, with the facts before him. said fire marshal doffed j his fire-proof helmet, climbed up on I-a woolsack, donned the robes of a court t.t law and proceeded to scan the evidence long and with an eagle eye. Bulletin Posted Today this bulletin appeared posted in the marshal’s office: “Be it known to all concerned in the State fire marshal’s department.

In an interview with reporters afterward, "Judge” Miller admitted had it not been that the evidence proved bobbed hair was a Are preventive measure, he would have ruled against the defendants. He said his decree in no wise was a reflection of his personal feelings in the matter and that his action was the result of the weight of evidence presented by the shrewd frefndants. Asa matter of fact there are not now any bobbed heads in the department and it is generally believed i no one at this time parting with aforesaid tresses.

HOST 50 POUNDS ml Months fry *27 t AT / Secret for Which MillioaThlS Easy Way! aires Paid Thousands Let Me Tell It to You Free of Charge If you are one of many who tried everything to reduce, without BUooesi&- i: -if you are suffering from a tired feelnig. shortness of breath—all due to obesity at last you can be relieved. If your figure is such that you are embarrassed to

appear in public with .vour husband or your smart-looking slender friends, you can now entertain new hopes. Perhaps it is your bust, your thiKhs or your arms that you want to reduce: or maybe only one or two rolls of fat have lately appeared. Whatever your case may be. i* you want to reduce only certain parts of your body, or if you are 10 pounds too| heavy or 100 pounds, you owe % to youi'self to investigate this new discovery. WHICH DOES AWAY WITH WEAKENING DIETS, ABSURD CREAMS. TIRESOME EXERCISES. REDUCING CREAMS. ETC. From my experience, I know how many worthless things you have tried in the past, and in the effort to help you regain slenderness without being again disappointed. I have decided to give out the secret which relieved me of 50 pounds of ugly rolls es fat, and made me feel like anew woman. Simpfty go to any good druggist, ask for a package of SAN-GRI-NA tablets (remember the name and do not accept any substitute). SAN-GRI-NA is the preparation of a French physician, and the only thing 1 ever found to reduce my weight—my case was an obstinate one, and I had tried everything known to reduce, without success. It is the first time SAN-GRI-NA is offered to the American public, as up to now it has been used in private practice, where enormous prices have been paid for it. UNTIL YOU TRY IT YOU CAN NOT SAY THAT YOUR FAT CAN NOT BE REMOYED. Take two small tablets before each meal end watch your fat disappear. Remember. :hat SAN-GRI-NA is GUARANTEED ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS. AND IS SOLD WITH A MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE. It can not harm you in any way: on the contrary, the moment jou start taking it you will feel yourself filled with pep and energy.

TERMS IN PHONE DECREES DIFFER 'Confiscatory' Rates Subject of* Interpretation, The public service commission's proposed final decree in the Indiana Bell Telephone Company case, asked for by Federal Judge Page, along with one from the telephone company, will differ from that of the latter in one important particular, it was learned today. The commission attorneys contend the permanent injunction against the commission holds under terms of the injunction the telephone company cannot charge rates in excess of those proposed in the schedule of rates included in the temporary injunction of August, 1923. increasing the company’s revenue about sl,440.000 a year. The company’s proposed decree merely stated the commission be enjoined from interfering with a rate set by the company which was not confiscatory. The attorneys will consider final action on the commission’s proposed decree in a few days. Stockings which are too long or too tight, can do as much harm as ill-fitting shoes.

MELLON DENIES LIQUOR CHARGES MIMS' Not Connected With Distillery, He Tells Senate Committee. lip United Press WASHINGTON, June 6.—Seer©* tary of the Treasury Mellon, in a letter to the Senate Daugherty in* vestigating committee, today flatly denied all charges made against hiru by Gaston B. Means. Mellon declared Means’ account o| an alleged agreement entered into with Rex Shelton of New York* whereby whisky permits were to have been issued by Mellon In re* turn for contributions to the Repub* lican national committee was un* true. He also said Means’ testimony that he had conferred with former UnderSecretary of the Treasury Gilbert about illegal withdrawals of liquor was false. Saw Shelton Once "Mr. Shelton once did come to see me, but as I recall, not in connection with permits,” Mellon wrote. "I understood that his request, about which there was nothing unusual ,was not granted by the official of the Treasury whom I referred him. “Senator Bursum did come to sea me some time in December, 1921* about granting permits, just as oth* ers canje into recommend some action by the treasury. Senator Bur* sum presented to me a list of appli* cants for permits to wholesale drug houses and the manufacturers using alcohol. “I turned this list over to Mr. Blair, commissioner of internal revenue, for investigation to determine the character of the applications in the usual course. “In three of these cases the' investigation was satisfactory and the permits issued. There has been no intimation to me, directly or indirectly, that a campaign fund would be or ha sheen benefited in any way by the issuance of the permits.” Forged Permits Blamed Mellon then described at considerable length the “Goodman case,” in which liquor was withdrawn from the warehouse on forged permits, and said this was diie to the failure of a superintendent to obey instructions. The superintendent was discharged, he said. Mellon reiterated that he had no connection with the Overholt Distillery and declared that the distillery had not manufactured any liquor since 1916. Only fifty-two cases of whisky have been disposed of by the distillery since 1916, he said. “Proof of the facts stated in letter,” Mellon said, “can be nished your committee by competent witnesses if you consider such proof material to the matter under investigation.” CHICAGO WOMAN FREED BY JURY t Bp United Press CHICAGO, June 6.—Mrs. Belv* Garether, pretty divorcee accused o t the "flip Coin murder” of Waited Law on March 12, was acquitted early today by a jury in the Cook County Court. Eight ballots wers required to reach a verdict. Law’s body was found in Mrs, Garetner’s sedan, and police who traced her through the license number found blood-soaked garments ia her apartment. When arrested she told a story o| having flipped a coin with Law to see which should take a shot at tha other. Later she was “so drunk she didn’t remember” whether she swot him or not.
