THOUSANDS FORCED TO REREGISTER Only Those Who Voted Last General Election, and Have Not Moved, Exempt. GILLIOM GIVES RULING Balloting in Recent Primary Not Enough. Thousands of Indianapolis citizens w.ho thought they registered for the fall election by voting in the primary election in May were mistaken, according to an opinion of Attorney General Arthur L. Gillion announced today. The law clearly states, Gillion ruled, that only those who entered their names on the poll books by voting at the last general election and have not moved since shall be eligible to vote at the election this November unless they have in the meantime registerd. A vote in the primary is not equivalent to such registration. From Aug. 1 to Sept. 1 Those who must register may do so from Aug. 1 to Sept. 1. They may register ta the county auditor’s office or through political party workers holding the authority of a notary public . There is no general registration day. Republican county leaders, striving to bring out a large vote at the primary, asserted voting in the primary meant automatic registration for the election. The situation in Marion County is somewhat complicated by changes In the precinct boundaries by Republican majority county commissioners. Boundaries Changed Hundreds of persons now live in a precinct different from the one In which they resided in 1924, although' they have not moved, because the precinct boundaries were changed. But Gilliom’s opinion places the responsibility of transferring the names of sucfy persons to their new precinct poll books upon the county auditor. Regardless of changing of precinct boundaries, if a person registered by voting in 1924 and has not changed his residence, he may vote in November without additional action, according to the opinion. t WRIT NECESSARY FOR MARCH Supreme Court Reverses Liquor Case Conviction. Ruling that it is unlawful without a warrant to search an automobile on the suspicion that it contains liquor, State Supreme Court today reversed the conviction of Rolla Boyd, Evansville taxicab driver on charges of transportation.

The evidence showed that a pedestrian stepped from an alley and handed him a package just as he' drove away. Officers overtook him and confiscated the liquor. The Supreme Court held the evidence was inadmissible, since the search was illegal. THEY’LL DIG INTO PAST Coring Machine, to Test Paving, Expected Within Week.

Shipstead of Minnesota Says He Hopes the Conservatives Will Not Read Jim Out of Party.

Times Washington Bureau. 1322 New York Avenue WASHINGTON, June B.—Senator Watson of Indiana was welcomed into the ranks of the Senate radicals somewhat sarcastically late yesterday in a farm-relief speech by Senator Shipstead, Farmer-Labor, of Minnesota.

Advocates of further tax cuts were encouraged today by announcement from Secretary of the Treasury Mellon that the Government for the first time since the war, has found it unnecessary to borrow' to carry on the nation’s business. Politically wise insisted treasury indications now point to the chanoe of cuts by 1928—presidential election year. Mellon said the Government will not offer bonds or certificates for sale June 18. “This has been made possible on account of the increase in income tax and other receipts over earlier expectations,” Mellon said.

Miss MacFarlane wanted to discharge Flossie she wouldn’t lift a finger to stop her. It would be the best thing in the world for Flossie to get away from the Dexter Company, and from Hilary H. Dexter, pits president, anyway. The best thing in the world “All right, Miss Mac,” she said, lifting her eyes to the shabby, sallow woman, “I’ll be ready in a jiffy.” They ate at -a bare wooden table in a serve-self restaurant. The corned beef hash that Mary Rose chose was swimming In grease, and the coffee wasn’t coffee at all, but chicory. As she tasted it and set it down, something that Flossie had said the night before flashed into her mind —“I get so tired of eating stew and bread pudding in the kitchen.” Well, Flossie wasn’t the only person in the world who hated poverty and loved nice things. Mary Rose loved them, too. “If I married Tom, he could give me everything,” she thought. But *se was sure she never would marry him. She knew that she would rather be John Manners’ secretary than the wife of any man on earth —except John Manners, of course. Wouldn’t It be wonderful if—“A penny for your thoughts, Mary Rose.” The heavy voice of Miss MacFarlane brought her back to earth. Mary Rose blushed and laughed. "I wasn't thinking,” she said. “Now. then, about Flossie,” Miss MacFarlane went on. “A man has been calling her up every day or two for the last week. She —she goes out to meet him.” She stopped for a moment to let that sink in. Then she opened her handbag, a cheap affair of imitation leather. "And then,” she said, fumbling in it, “this morning I went into her desk for some stamps, and I found these.” She laid two cigarets down on the bare wooden ,table. Each of gold "D.” “ ‘D’ for Dexter," thought Mary Rose. “And this,” Miss MacFarlane laid a piece of torn paper down beside the cigarets, “was with them!” Mary Rose picked it up. It was part of one of the letterheads of the Dexter Company, and on It was typed: "Five o’clock at the usual place. If I’m not there, wait for me." She creased it with her nervous fingers. “You know, Miss Mac,” she said at last, "that Flossie and Sam Jesup are great friends, don’t you?” Miss MacFarlane smilled oddly. “Oh, yes, I know that,” she said. “And look here, Mary Rose. I wouldn’t have bothered you with all this except that I think you ought to know about It. I’m not prying into Flossie’s private business because I enjoy it —but she’s a wild child, and —” She never finished the sentence. She and Mary Rose looked at each other for a long moment, and there was a kind of defiance In the girl’s blue eyes. “I don’t think you need to worry about Flossie, Miss Mac,” she said at last, with great dignity. In silence they walked back to the great red-brick buildings that (Turn to Sage 8)

If he had made that address four years ago, I am quite certain he would have been lambasted by the writers of the East and would have been nominated as a member of the radical block in the Senate.

Some politicians estimate that Brookhart will pile up a lead of 50,000 to 70,000 votes over Cummins, close friend of the national Administration, by the time the final ballots are cast. The vote: Brookhart, 155,323. Cummins,- 112,*92. Other Republican candidates were running far in the rear. In the Democratic race Claude R. Porter had a good lead over J. C. Murtagh with J. R. Files running a good third. All of the Republican Congressmen seeking renomination, with the exception of Gilbert N. Haugen, author of the Haugen farm relief measure, apparently are having an easy time. Haugen holds a small lead over Ewald W. Beerman and most politicians believe his nomination is assured. Complete Rout So complete was the rout of lowa's senior Senator, that even his own supporters admitted his defeat, so far as the .early returns were considered. The defeat of Cummins and the nomination of Brookhart, a farm bloc leader who was defeated for his Senate seat in 1924 by Daniel J.

LAD IS DEA TH CASTS PALL OVER SCHOOL

Boys and Girls to Take Part in Funeral of Auto Victim. By Eldora Field In the dim quiet of the room from which his frantic mother called to him in vain Monday when he ran out into the street before an automobile and was killed, Harry Harper, 7, of 2831 E. New York St., lies waiting while his little school mates come softly in, one by one, to see him. “He’s so quiet—he was always laughing,” they say in awe. Wednesday afternoon at the home, the little girls of School 3 will be the flower bearers who will follow the small white casket. The boys will be the pallbearers. They are all griefstricken at School 3. To Console Mother Today the teachers came In a body to see little Harry and to console the mother, Mrs. Lee Harper. She feels that If she could only have made the little boy hear her cry of “Stop, sorf —an auto!” his life would have been saved. But she stood by a closed window when she called and the little ears did not hear. “I saw what was going to happen an instant before,” said the mother. "I pounded on the window and called, but my baby couldn't hear me and I saw his little arms fly up. Then they were dashed down and under those wheels. If he could have heard me call—” The parents do not blame the driver, J, E. Wilson, 1218 Parker Ave. "‘The fact that he stopped before the back wheels passed over the boy—unless he dragged him, looks as if he couldn’t have been going fast, but I want it thoroughly investigated,” remarked the father "It seems so terrible that little children must be killled so cruelly. We’ve read of so many babies with lives crushed out under automobiles, but somehow we didn’t realize — when it comes home this way ” but the father couldn’t go on. Delicate Constitution “Harry was always our sick little boy,” the mother said. "He had a very delicate constitution. The last winter was the first one when we didn't have to coddle him, and now —after all our care—to have him taken this way.’’ She brushed away tears to tell of the little boy's pleasures over his first long trousers, bought just last Saturday. “He’s been crazy to have them, but he was so little —we just wouldn't get them. Last Saturday though we yielded and. oh, he was so happy. ‘l’m big now,’ he declared, proud in the little gray longtrousered suit.”

BRAZIL RESUMES PARTICIPATION IN LEAGUE AFFAIRS Mello Franco Sends His Secretary to Substitute for Him. Bu Tlnited Press GENEVA, June B.—Brazil resumed participation in the affairs of the league of Nations council today when Mello Franco, Brazilian council member, sent his secretary to substitute for him at the meeting of the council committee on minority populations. Mello Franco is report er for this committee. A secretary of the Brazilian embassy was sent to represent Brazil on the league's economic commission. Whether the action signified a change in Brazil's reported decision to withdraw from the league is not yet known. Rival Feared The officials feared that Brazil’s proposed withdrawal would so strengthen the Pan-American Union of the New World states as to present a real rival to the Geneva organization, at least so far as, the former continent Is concerned. Press dispatches received here announcing Brazil’s announced intentions of withdrawing because of the League's refusal to grant her a permanent seat on the council caused a sensation. Until official notification of Brazil's Intentions is received, 'no one here is likely to comment for direct quotation. A League official explained today that two years’ notice Is required before a resignation can become effective and In that time it Is hoped a solution can be found. Given Chance The council decided Monday to adjourn until Wednesday on the pretext that various committees must conclude their meetings. The adjournment was made for no other purpose than to give Quinones 19 Leon, the Spanish delegate, and Mello Franco, the Brazilian delegate, aft opportunity to overcome the respective causer of their absence. Both failed to appear Monday when the council convened. If they do not attend Wednesday's meeting, indicating that Spain and Brazil, Intend to withdraw Interest from the League, the council will immediately withdraw any remaining Interest In their candidacies for permanent league council seats. Steps will be taken to reorganize the council and Brazil and Spain will not be consulted. In this event It is certain that the council will recommend merely that the September assembly adopt the project for Increasing the non;>ermanent members of the council by three and eliminaling Brazil and Spain as possible trouble causers, who would veto admittance of Oermany. This will he done by holding anew election of nonpermanent members and leaving the two recalcitrant nations off the list. Germany’s election to the premanent council will then be assured.
