READY, All FIRE ON THE RUMTRADE Use Army and Navy, Shoot to Kill, Shumaker’s Advice. ASKED DRY LAW OPINION Sends Enforcement Plan to Philadelphian. "Use the Army and. Navy and shoot to kill.” This is the substance of a plan for enforcing prohibition which Supt. E. S. Shumaker of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League submitted today to Secretary Nicholson of the Philadelphia Law Enforcement League at Nicholson's request. The Ph.ladelphia dry leader sent letters to 165 drys over the Nation asking them to work out plans for real enforcement and for a united demand on the Government that it be accomplished. Nicholson denounced the Coolidge Administration's “half-hearted attempts” at enforcement as a national scandal. Conditions Deplorable Shumaker concurred in the view that conditions are deplorable. His remedy is the one suggested by Pussyfoot Johnson in the Cosmopolitan Magazine. “Johnson's ideas are mine on the subject,” said Shumaker, "and though I know his plan will not be adopted. I believe it is the only way of enforcing the law.” Here Is his plan: "First I would deal drastically with judges who turn chronic, liquor offenders loose with $lO fines. “Second, I would stop the criminal distribution of alcohol, denatured or otherwise, which can be dpne by purely administrative measures. "Third, I would attack the turning loose of tens of thousands of chronic offenders through the parole and pardoning system. Use Forces "Fourth, if peesssary I would make full use of the Army and Navy. “Fifth, I would make the fullest possible use of what is known as ‘double jeopardy.’ Where the Federal Courts would not function, I would call on the State courts and where the State not function, 1 would make use of the Municipal Courts. “Sixth. I would throw down staii's or out of the window any departmental oiffeial who would isSue permits for the releasing of liquor. “Seventh, when any public official charged with the enforcement of the law made public declarations that the law could not be enforced, I 1 would demand that he immediately ge t out of the way and make room for someone who had the ability and faith in himself to make g-aod. To the Hilt

“Eighth, I would shoot to kill; by that, I mean that I would mean business. I would, in other words, enforce the law up to the hilt. “The only way to enforce a prohibition law or any other law is to enforce it —not sit down and look at it.” Nicholson also asked Mrs. Elizabeth Stanley, Liberty, Ind., State W. C. T. U. president; the Rev. Ira Landrith, Winona Lake, Ind.; the Rev. D. M. McGuire, Greencastle. Ind., and the Rev. Milo J. Smith, formerly of Indianapolis, now residing in California, for suggestions on how to enforce the liquor laws. NEW RAILROAD DENIED INDIANA I. C. C.

MEXICAN BANKERS SEEK PARLEY FOR RELIGIOUS PEACE Fear Panic WHI Follow Big Withdrawals of Money From Institutions. Bu United Press ,} MEXICO ClTtf, Aug. 4.—Pointing out that heavy bank withdrawals were occurring in the religious and economic situation and expressing their belief that matter will become serious if withdrawals continue until Saturday, a group' of bankers has called on Secretary of Finance Alberto J. Pani offering to mediate in the religious issue. In view of the government's determination to enforce the religious laws, only two conditions appeared upon whic{i preliminary mediation might be successful.

Although so far the church has made no direct proposals for mediation, several prominent Catholics have been discussions with Attorney General Ortega hoping to save both the dignity of the church and the government’s general policy.

Shaneberger, board of works president, today pointed out that "for some reason which I do not know, asphalt and asphaltic concrete paving now is cheaper than concrete.’ A few days ago Shaneberger insisted that concrete be named as a specified material for paving, a procedure that was nipped in the bud during the last administration.

Prisoners in city jail engaged in a drunken riot early today. One man was stabbed, another was beaten. They were taken to the city hospital. • Claude F. Johnson immediately began an in' estigation to learn why all weapons were‘not l aken from prisoners before they were sent to the cells. , The “Carey gang" was responsible for the riot, police said. Six members of the gang, one a woman, fought a squad of police ih the 200 block on N. Blackford St. and were subdued only after reserves arrived. Turn Over Knives Taken to city prison Willie Carey, 29, of 154 N. Blackford St., and Walter Phillilps, 29. of 648 Taft St., turned over knives to Turnkey Ed Tutt. The other members of the gang were Mary Carey, wife of Willie; Dan Casey, 29, of 736 W. New York Stt; James Nolan, 27, of 152 N. Blackford, and Francis Murphy, 21, of 168 Bright St. Some time after turning the prisoners into the bullpen, Tutt was attracted by great commotion and shouts of pain. Investigating he found Julius Jones, 22,' Negro, 626 N. Blackford St., and Elmer Webb, 26, Negro, 434 Blake St., had been beaten up and Webb's arm slashed. Carey handed Tutt a knife but no one was charged with the stabbing. The Carey gang members each were held under $5,000 bond, charged with resisting arrest, intoxication and vagrancy. In Booze Party Sergt. Warren McClure and Patrolmen Wilkterson and Ross said they arrested the gang when the-y found a booze party going on neac the Carey home.

Sergeint McClure in his report to Chief Johnson said he was under the impression the prisoners had been searched while he ran to summon the patrol and help. When he returned he was attacked by Mrs. Carey and from then until the patrol arrived he was busy keeping her in custody, he said. Tutt also made a report to the chief, and said he did not knowhow the knife got in the prison, as he searched each of the gang carefully after finding the knives on Carey and Phillips. Prisoners are supposed to leave knives and -tther articles that might be used as weapons with the turnkey.'
