AL SMITH NOT REPEAL LEADER, COPELAND SAYS F New York Senator Asserts Governor’s Stand on Dry Law Is Sane. Bu United Press WASHINGTON. June I—Governor A1 Smith’s wet position in his campaign for the Democratic nomination for President, will not go beyond a demand for modification of the Volstead act, Senator Copeland declared here today. Intimating that his prediction was based on definite and recent communications with New York executive, Senator Copeland said Smith’s attitude would be for revision of the Volstead Act so as to permit a State to legalize beers and wines that are held to be non-intoxicating in fact. “There is nothing in Governor Smith’s speeches or platforms,” asserted the Senator, “which shows him to be demanding repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. Never in his public life has he said or done anything which justifies attacks upon him as a millificationist.” Copeland Made Tour Basing his declaration upon an extensive tour of the West and several visits below the Mason and Dixon line, the New York Senator asserted that Smith was the only Democrat, who had a chance of election over Coolidge. In the Senator’s opinion, however, Coolidge will not run •gain. , “The three great arguments made fcy some Democrats against Smith,” said the Senator, "are his religion, his wetness and his connection with ; Tammany hall. I don’t think the l people of the Uplted States, or mem • bers of the Democratic party will I deny a. nomination or an election to J such- an outstanding and able public ' servant as Governor Smith merely •on the ground of religious intolerance. Stand Called Sane “His position on prohibition is per- • fleetly sane. He believes in enforce ing all the laws while they are on the statute books, and he has as fine !fe.n enforcement record as any execu-. •tive in the land. But he thinks the ! Volstead act should be modified.” I “I don’t understand what the argument is against him on the score of ,his association with Tammany,” ’ Copeland continued. “He is able and u honest. . He has demonstrated his F ability as Governor of New York.” 'J In estimating Smith’s chances,Senator Copeland gave him the following States: The solid South, New York, New I Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut, ! New Hampshire, Delaware, Mary- | land, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, [Wyoming and Tennessee. These i States total 306, or forty more than j necessary for election. j SCHOOL REQUEST HEARD The school board today had un- • der consideration a request for a | 19-room addition to the Broad Rip- [ pie High School. • The request came from a large delegation of Broad Ripple citi- [ zens who attended the meeting on ; Tuesday night, aqbmittting a peti- ! tion with 400 names.

‘Lindy’s’ Feat Starts Stampede for Sky
Bu United Press WASHINGTON, June I.—The air route to fame and fortune has caught the imagination of American youth. Army air corps officials said today that what already is a recordbreaking number of applications for army flying training promises to become a deluge as a result of the Lindbergh exploit. There are approximately 800 applications to take the army cadet flying course, according to the Army air corps personnel director, who said that preliminary inquiries, inspired by the Lindbergh flight, indicate that this number will be increased enormously. The number of applications, he said, is about twice as great as It was a year ago, with no limit in sight. The Army at present gives a year’s training course at San Antonio, and in November will open a second flying school at Marshfield, Cal. Graduates from this school are commissioned as second lieutenants iff the flying corps reserve. Air mail pilots are recruited largely from this group. _ __ The fact that Lindbergh got his start in flying at the Army training school is being heralded widely by army recruiters. His smiling face is emblazoned upon most of the “Join the Army" bulletin boards. The rigid physical examination eliminates about 75 per cent of the applicants.
SPRING RAINFALL SETSJEW MARK Moisture Recorded on 44 of 92 Days. More rain fell ■'■'during March, April, and May, 1927, than in the same months during any other year in the history of the Indianapolis Weather Bureau. MeterOlogist J. H. Armington said today.' On forty-foMjfr' '/ninety-two days at least one-hundredth inch was recorded. It sprinkled on other days, but the weather bureau does not notice a fall less than ,01 inch. The next wettest period was 1 March, April, and May, 1922, when rain was recorded in forty out of ninety-two days. The resultant damage to corn is inestimable, crop experts say. Many of 160,000 Indiana corn growers are thirty days behind in ploughing. Armington said the heaviest rain

VOTE SPLIT KILLS SHORTRIDGE CUT School Board Majority Faction Suffers Break. A split among majority members of the Indianapolis school board Tuesday night prevented revision of the Shortridge High School heating and ventilating system plans to cut the cost down to the $230,000 bond issue approved by the State tax board. The tax board declared the C. C. Shipp type ventilating system was too expensive and twice ordered the hoard to consider other systems, finally approving the Shipp system and ordering the cost cut. The division occurred when a vote was taken on a proposal to eliminate approximately $38,000 worth of construction from the heating and ventilating system. Fred Bates Johnson, minority group member, objected on the ground that elimination of some listed articles would seriously impair effectiveness of the system. Johnson was backed by the other minority member, Charles R. Yoke, and two majority members. President Theodore F. Vonnegut and Mrs. Lillian Sedwick. Charles W. Kern, who has previously voted with Vonnegut and Mrs. Sedwick, voted for the plan. Items the board objected to eliminating were temperature control, toilet ventilation and steam pipe line covering.

ROCKY COURSE AWAITS POLICE IN GEOGRAPHY City Officers Going Back to School for “Laming” on How to Protect Themselves.
Indianapolis policemen are going back to school. And geography is going to he one of the most important courses—local geography. They’re going to study physical culture, law, target practise. observation, first aid and general subjects. But there's no degree to be won. just the knowledge that the students will be better policemen. The school will be opened in about sixty days. Police Chief Claude F. Johnson said. Veteran “learning” At first only new force appointives will attend, but later some of the veterans may get a chance at ’’laming.” Major Lends Johnson, who probably will head the school, has been studying police schools in Ix>s Angeles, New York, Louisville, and other large cities. “Police work is a profession,” Major Johnson raid. "Everyone can't be appointed to the force and become an efficient officer. Policemen should be trained thoroughly and we proposed to build up the local department. To Protect Selves “A police officer will never learn the profession from an 'old timer’ who has never been taught scientifically himself. It is proposed to teach officers how to protect themselves as well as others. “A policeman should be physically fit. understand city, State, and Federal laws, and know local
What Traffic Will Bear The rates charged by the railroads for transportation of freight are influenced hv many considerations. One of the most important to business generally is the principle embodied in the familiar expression, “what the traffic will bear”; yet few railway principles are so widely misunderstood. The adjustment of freight rates to what the traffic will bear is not, as many persons assume, a matter of increasing those rates wherever possible. Tlie purpose is not to force the last penny out of each item of traffic handled. Rates are tempered to what the traffic will hear in order to develop the maximum volume of all kinds of traffic by a fair and equitable distribution of charges. Roth in theory and in application, the principle is not one of extortion, but one of moderation. Perhaps a clearer statement of it would be “what wijl attract or develop traffic.’’ The simplest method of determining freight rates would be to have them all conform strictly to one pattern. such as the length of haul, the value of the commodity and the character of service. These elements are considered, of course, but they are subject to many exceptions. If tio exception were allowed, a good many commodities now in general use would he barred from commerce because of disadvantages of location or other reasons. The largest possible volume of commerce is obtained only bv adjusting rates so they will develop every kind of potential traffic. A variation in rates for comparable services is not always the injustice that it may sometimes seem to be. For example, by handling some commodities at relatively low rates the railroads obtain a great deal of traffic which otherwise -would not move. The volume of business thus obtained obviously benefits the railroads and those who produce, distribute and use the commodities concerned. Not so obviously, but no less truly, it. also benefits those concerned in the movement of commodities which can and do pay the higher rates. This is because the revenue provided by the low-rate traffic helps to bear the general overhead cost of railway service, which otherwise the high-rate traffic would have to bear unaided. Moreover, the increased volume of traffic resulting from this practice is of benefit to railway patrons generally through the improved efficiency of railway operation made possible by a heavier loading of trains, a greater percentage of car movement under load, and so on. The present structure of railway freight rates is the result of many years of study and experience. That it is effective is indicated by the widespread and unhampered flow of commerce. Whenever rates fail to stimulate commerce to the maximum extent possible, railway managers themselves are among the first to urge their readjustment. It is to the interest of the public as well as to the interest of the railroads to keep rates at levels that will both stimulate traffic and provide revenue sufficient to pay all the costs of providing railway service. The future of this highly important service can be assured in no other way. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. L. A. DOWNS, President, Illinois Central System. CHICAGO, June 1, 1927.
