The life of former Governor James P. Goodrich was saved by the use of cognac, the French form of whisky, when he was near death while Governor. The statement of this fact is made by J. T. Moorman, business associate of Goodrich, his friend of years’ standing, and treasurer of the Republican State committee. Moorman states that he was present when the cognac was brought by a State official, who then was a member of the Goodrich official family, and that he saw it administered under the advice of a physician. "I was present, as were others, when the whisky was administered as a last resort,” said Moorman. The State official, who declines to permit the use of his name, substantiates the statement by saying that he obtained two bottles of cognac when he was informed that it was advised as the one remedy which could save the life of Goodrich.

Bolshevism is trying desperately to get a foothold in America, Ellis Searles, United 1 Mine Workers' Journal, told the Exchange Club Friday. “There are thousands of impressionable Americans who raise their hands in horror when anyone says that America must scotch the viper of bolshevism and communism that threatens it,” Searles said. “A com munist ambassador has been planted in Mexico to spread propaganda throughout Latin America. The people of America should wake up to the danger that confronts them.

Progress Park Board Vision of City Advance Is Vision of Doom to Woman.

By Edwin V. O’N’eel mHE humble one-room dwelling, which some might call a shack, of Mrs. Ella J. Harvey today stood in the path of Progress. And Progness, envisioning a Greater Indianapolis of parks and playgrounds, threatened to sweep rough-shod Mrs. Harvey's home from its path. The home is at 2806 Ralston Ave. The park board needs the small lot on which it sits and dozens of others in that neighborhood for an addition to Douglas Park. "Your house and land have been appraised at $550. We will buy it for that and take possession in January. You must move,” the park board has notified her. “But where will I go?” asks Mrs. Harvey. ”1 cannot buy another home for $550.” IRS. HARVEY Is 49. Life. perhaps, has been none too l___| kind. Two years ago her husband died. There is a son, Joseph, 16, who works at the State fairground. Until last winter Mrs. Harvey did housework by the day. But last winter she fell qji the ice. A leg broke. Five months she was in city hospital. On crutches she "fnade her first trip downtown Thursday to raise her quivering ve,ee against Progress. Hesitatingly she entered the park board office while the board was in session. She stood bewildered at the side for ten minutes. Then a bystander pointed her out to President John E. Milnor. Humbly she told him her

MOTOR INDUSTRY NOT TO USE CUT TARIFF THREAT Statement of C. of C. Official, Denying Rumors About Tax Removal. BU United Press WASHINGTON, June 4.—The automobile industry does not Intend to use the threat of general tariff reduction to obtain elimination of the present tax on passenger automobile sales. This statement was made by Pyke Johnson, National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, who said reports of such a plan are without foundation. Johnson said the automobile industry is faced with a continually more difficult tariff situation abroad with tariff increases on automobiles recently authorized in Spain and threatened in Argentina. "France, Switzerland, Norway and other countries. He said that everything possible is being done to prevent these increases, but said there is little sentiment in the automobile industry to seek United States tariff reduction as a means of inducing foreign countries to lower their barriers. Many observers here believe the automobile manufacturers, increasingly dependent on foreign markets for prosperity, will be among the first to get behind a general international downward revision of tariffs.
