HOOSIER PRIMARY CONTRIBUTORS 10 BE KEPT SECRET Senate Quizzers Shy From • Investigation of ' Indiana. Hooslers haven’t a chance of learning, to the delight of politicians, ■what an Indiana senatorial nomination costs, It appeared today. When Senator James A. Reed of Missouri secured Senate authorization of an investigation of primary elections, it was believed the inquiry would extend to Indiana immediately after Pennsylvania and Illinois politics had been aired. End Investigation But politicians are rejoicing over Senator Reed’s announcement, made Saturday in Chicago, that the investigation there will be the last one undertaken by his committee. Despite the blasted hope of exposures here, which it is believed would parallel the conditions found in Illinois and Pennsylvania, some believe the investigation will have an indirect, but marked effect in Indiana this fall. Insull interested Xt was brought out in Chicago last Week that Samuel Insull, utility operator, whose Indiana holdings are quite as extensive as his Illinois properties, was interested to the extent of several hundred thousand dollars in the fortunes of the senatorial aspirants in that State. It was further established that Clements Studebaker,* South Bend, (Ind.) utility magnate, took a lavish financial interest in the Republican aspirants. $170,000 UTILITY TOTAL Magnates Gave That Much to Aid Smith for Illinois. By N. D. Cochran, Times Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Except for some possible details that may' develop from the testimony of Insult and Fred Lundin, the Illinois primary picture is fairly complete. When Smith’s campaign manager added Ira C. Copley and Clement Studebaker to the list of large contributors Illinois was covered so far as public utilities are concerned. Studebaker has bought the McKinley utility interests and Copley dominates the Western United Gas and Electric Company, which covers a large section of Illinois along the Fox River Valley. Studebaker heads the Illinois Power and Light Corporation, which has acquired thirty-nine public utility companies. $170,000 Total Copley gave $25,000- Studebaker $20,000 to the campaign of /the president of the Illinois Commerce Commission, which regulates public utilities. Add these to Insull's $125,000 and the three public utility magnates dumped $170,000 into the Smith campaign fund. Besides, Insull admitted that he spent nearly $34,000 in propaganda against the World Court, which he supposed was helpful to Smith’s cause. Altogether oyer 70 per cent of the Smith fund came from public utilities. To Hurt Smith Judging from the attitude of the Chicago newspapers, Smith's candidacy is seriously threatened by this acceptance of money from utilities. It isn't so bad, however, as it would have been if George Brennan, the Democratic nominee, had not accepted $15,000 from his old friend Insull. As for the rottenness of Chicago politics, the Reed committee wasn't able to do more than scratch the surface.

Wedding Cake Makes Twenty 111 Bv United Preu CHICAGO, Aug, 2.—Twenty pereons were ill today, twelve dangerously, following a deferred wedding dinner Sunday night. Cake served at the feast was # thought to be the cause. Anthony Manrillo, father of the groom, at whose home the dinner ■was given, his wife, four daughters, a son, son-in-law and four guests were those most seriously stricken, 'the bridegroom, Amato Manrillo, his bride and six friends were also found ill at the young couple’s home early today. SHOTS FROM ALTO Albert O’Dell, 1824 Southeastern Ave., told police that while hey was sleeping late Saturday a bullet was fired through his bed room window from a passing auto. O’Dell said he thought it was the back-firing of an auto until he investigated. SUICIDE ATTEMPTED Gora Ford, *B, of 1541 Draper St., is in city hospital today suffering from the effects of poison taken Sunday with suicidal intent. Police said domestic troubles prompted hi<| act.

Match Box Tops Hobby f and of Youthful Collector

John Gandall and Part of pis of Match Box Tops..

Many have seen the unbounded enthusiasm of the collector of famous rare first editions when he pmkes a “find'’ and many have experienced the thrill of discovering a valuable stamp, but no joy can equaf that of John Gandall, 13, of 633 E. ThirtySecond St.* When he finds anew safety match box top. John has been collecting the box tops for about two years and now has a complete cdllection numbering over ninety-five. That’s all theyeiis, there just isn’t anymore made. In addition to having all of the ordinary • safety match boxes that are maniifajctured he has many that the companies have discontinued making. In his collection kre two rare tops that were made in Finland for sale exclusively 4n Germany and consequently are not for sale in this country. Collectors of this sort of curios are very' particular about printing and color dt the boxes and many tops are disqualified for sale or trade, because of imperfections in their composition. A number of the bores are of the same design, but the different colors allow the traders to differencial between the common and the rare types. Theft Attempt Made The aptual value of the collection is around sl, since the original cost of the match boxes is one ceni each.-but the entire lot is beyond value. At one time an attempt was made to steal the collection from the Gandall home. The bulk of the match boxes are made in Sweden, Finland, Holland, Lativia, Norway and the United States. But John has several made in Japan, Belgium and Czechoslovakia. | Among the rarer ohes are the “Renown," “MT,“ "Parachute.'' “Nitedals Seahorse,” "The Arabs,” “Panther,” "Copperhead," "Leo,” “Two Elephants,” and “The Jolly Pipers.” 'Another sought after top is the small box of Ohio safety matches made in Sweden with the word "matches” made in blue instead of the. regular white found on the majority of boxes. The collection craze is not without its drawbacks, however, as John’s mother will testify. "Every time we go on a trig we can always

find John looking in gutters, along the street and in the ash trays of the house at which we stop,” Mrs. Gandall said. ' , Many Are Rare Many of the tops were not rare several years ago when they were made in large numbers, but when the company stopped making that particular line, the value of the top ircreased. And matches that were rare when first put on the market decreased in value as the numbers on the martlet ‘ncreased. A strange twist in the trade is rarity of one brand.of matches on the east side of Indianapolis and the commonness of the same match on the west side of the city. This same thing happens In different States. So the match box tops increase or decrease in value as the location of the collector is changed. “A collector never knows just where he stands,” said John, with youthful candor, as he gathered ujp his tops and put them back in a large tin for safe keeping. 6 HURT IN HOTEL FIRE Twenty-Four Others Escape In SIOO,OOO Blaze.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DROUGHT BROKEN BY RAIN; CROPS IN STATEJAMAGED More Good Than Harm From .Week-End Fall, However. - Combined’ wind and rain over the week-end did heavy damage to crops in Marion County and several sections of the State, Indiana farmers reported today. Corn, oats and wheat, still standing, and other crops were# blown down in several localities. Indianapolis had a week-end rainfall of 1:58 inches. The total fall for July was boosted to 3.78 inches, compared with a normal fall of 4.31 inches. Showers are expected for with partly cloudy weather Tuesday. Badly Needed The rain was badly needed and did more good than harm, according to Louis L. Needier, Indiana Farm Bureau Federation seeretary. Rain and wind storms were general over the State Saturday and Sunday, United States Weather Bureau reports showed. Needier declared the corn was easily damaged in its present stage, because “spur roots” had not branched out to support the stalks. Much of the damaged corn will "straighten upf’’ according to Needier. Needier, who lives in Grant County, said oats was damaged worse than corn in that locality. About 25 per cent of oats still standing was damaged, he said. Most oi;.ts has been harvested, however. High Voters Reports to the farm organization stated wheat was damaged by high waters near Bedford and In B'une other sections of the southern portion. Wheat in the shock will not be seriously damaged unless the rain continues, causing It to sprout, it was said. Metereologlst J. H. Armington said the drought had been broken in practically all sections by the showers. most of which were Intermittent, allowing the moisture to soak Into the ground. Heavy rains were reported In central. eastern and some southern localities. Heaviest rainfall was at Paoli, Orange County, where 5.61 inches fell over the week end, 5.14 inches during the last twenty-four hours. In Rush County rainfall was 3.48 Inches. FIVE YOUTHS ARRESTED Two Charged With Burglary. Three With Stealing Bicycle*. Five youtfis are undeV arrest today and held in the Detention Home, two charged with burglary and three with being in a bicycle theft ring. Officers say the two youths broke in the C. H.

PREACHER FOR 36 YEARS, NO SALAR Y

Kentucky Pastor Unites 500 Couples in Marriage; Takes No Fee. Bu YEA Service HUEYSVILLE. Ky.. Aug* 2.—For thirty-six years the Rev. D. M. Allen has been the only minister of the gospel in this part of the hill country. And In all that time he has never been paid a cent for his labors! Since he began preaching at the age of 20. ’way back in 1890, he has rejected all offers of pay. Preaching ‘ regularly In mountain churches within a twenty-mile radius of this place, riding over lonely trails at night to comfort the sick, cheer thee dying or rejoice at a christening, he has become a "Shepherd of the Hills” in real life. 500 Free Weddings In addition, he has become a favorite of mountain lovers. During his pastorate he has united in marriage more than 500 couples. And never has he accepted a cent for these tasks. Some of the marriages have been solemnized in lumber camps; some in tiny cabins, hidden far up among the lonr-ijj pines and others on mountain trails, under the starlight, with bride and groom siting on horseback ready to ride off into the warm Kentucky night as soon as the final words were pronounced. But never has the Reverend Allen officiated at a wedd ng in a church. Notary Public For the greater part of thirty years Mr. Allen has also been a notary public. During that time he estimates that k-s has received as fees for this work not more than $30 —a salary of $1 a year! How does he live —this man who works without pay? By making himself live two lives, taking on the burdens of two callings, working at two jobs at once. During week days the minister works on the farm, in the lumber camps, at the sawmill, and serves besides as superintendent of the-Floyd County schools. Thus he has contrived to support his family and live comfortably and happily on his farm near here. Between one Sunday and another he often floats big rafts of logs 100 miles down the Big Sandy River, returning In time to conduct services for his congregation at the usual time. Fights Moonshiners This territory is in the heart of the moonshining district. Mr. Allen has fought the moonshiners repeatedly, holding moonshine one of the curses of the mountain district. Yet many of the moonshiners are among his best friends. "They get angry for a while.” he says. "But pretty soon they realize that I’d be the best friend they ever had if they'd let me.” . Rev. Allen has seen backwoods life in all Its rawness and all its wild beauty. Winding his way across rugged hills on torturous paths, reaching some unpainted lit-

Rev. D. M. Allen tie church in an almost in accessible corner of the uplands, sweeping It and building a fire in it before the congregation arrives, tolling the bell, then delivering his sermon and leading his listeners in song and prayer; living among his people as a spiritual shepherd, chrlsening babies, uniting them in marriage when they are grown and laying them in the earth when they die —he has literally grown gray in service. Little "Schooling” Rev. Allen was 16 before he could write his own name. After fifteen months of "schoolin' ” —all that he ever had —he became a school teacher himself, studying assiduously at home every night. One time a school board refused to hire him as teacher—not because of faulty education, but because he wore a white collar. In only two ways do his parishioners admit that he differs from the run of hill folk. He has been intoxicated only once In his life, and that was before he entered the ministry; and feince attaining manhood he has never fought another man with his fists. Yet he has red hair!
