HOOVER FORCE INCLUDES ALL COOWE MEN Administration Group Likely to Back Commerce Secretary. BT RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Stall Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—When the Hoover presidential campaign enters its aggressive stage, a large number of the administration leaders will be found in it. Ooolidge personally Is favorable to Hoover’s candidacy, but he does not intend to engage in any overt activity that would offend other candidates or appear to be an unseemly use of the presidential office. Word is being passed around quietly that Hoover is the administration choice. While this will not be binding on all administration people, nor even on all of the cabinet, It will bring many of them into line. Work to Lead Dr. Hubert Work, secretary of interior, Is slated to be the head of the Hoover campaign organization when it is formally put in the field. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, who probably will be Pennsylvania’s favorite son, is friendly to Hoover’s candidacy it ir said here, although is some reason to doubt this since Mellon and his protege, Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, blocked Hoover for the vice-presidential nomination in 1920 and forced Dawes through against the administration wish. All Back Hoover Chairman Butler of the Republican National Committee is reported by friends here to favor Hoover. Secretary of Agriculture Jardine is thought to be favorable. Postmaster General New, while reported friendly, haa made no commitments to any candidate. Everett Sanders of Indiana, secretary to President Coolldge, has Indicated an intention of supporting Hoover. Will Hays is for Hoover but will not, as reported in some quarters, head the Hoover organization, his movie contract preventing. An effort will be made to capitalize Coolidge’s strength by impressing the view that Hoover, of all the active candidates, is the only 100 per cent loyal Coolidge man. Lowden and Dawes are to be ruled out for their general opposition % to the president’s farm program. Speaker Longworth is to be charged with opposing the president’s fight against the big navy group in Congress last winter, The others mentioned are regarded as favorite stalking horses who are not to be, considered seriously as contenders.

Swift Progress Since 1920 Results in Overtaking Ford’s Lead. EDITOR'S NOTE—This Is the fourth of live articles discussing the repr-'->d combine of U. S. Steel. Oeneral Motors and the du Pont interests Into a $4,000,000,000 corporation. BY JOHN W. HILL Financial Editor Iron Trade Review General Motors Corporation, the automobile giant, is the infant prodigy of the industrial world. Its success has Wen both remarkable and spectacular. Its annual earnings are unequaled by any other industrial enterprise in existence. The latest development affecting its dazzling destiny is the decision by the board of directors for another huge stock dividend declaration of 100 per cent. Nine recapitalizations of General Motors . common stock have been accomplished in the last ten years. These have Wen accompanied by a tremendous increase in value. How Profits Grow Statisticians estimate that a holder of 100 shares of General Motors stock in 1917, keeping all his stock dividends and taking advantage of “rights” to subscribe to additional stock, would now have 750 shares. This would make a growth from arqund SIO,OOO to around SBO,OOO on his investment. Meanwhile, cash dividends received would have Wen more than sufficient to cover the cost of the original 100 shares. Even more startling is the rise of the stock since the company’s inception in 1908. A man who bought 100 shares then for $lO,000, keeping all his stock dividends and taking advantage of the right to subscribe to additional stock, would now have 7,269 shares, worth 1,678,230, and would have received cash dividends exceeding $350,000. Profits of the General Motors Corporation during the first half of 1927 were just under $130,000,000 That It is a far more profitable enterprise than is the United States Steel Corporation is indicated by the fact that the latter earned approximately $91,000,000 in the first six months of 1927.

He is not of the reckless reformer type, but is able, conscientious, constructive and sane in his leadership of the Indiana prohibition forces. I am not a lawyer, but to the lay mind the only question Involved is a question of fact. If Mr. Shumaker falsified the record or fabricated the facts he is guilty. No question about that. What has your attorney general to offer in support of a claim that Superintendent Shumaker has thus offended?” DRY HEAD PLANS APPEAL Shumaker Undecided About Road to Take to TJ. S. Supreme Court.

General Motors loomed up as a challenging factor in the automobile field in 1920. From that period it made swift progress. The corporation met its great rival, Henry Ford and his famous Model T in open trade cojpbat. For some years Henry Ford continued to dominate the field unquestionably, making more than half of all the automobiles produced and sold in this country. Finally Went Ahead At last, late in 1926, sales of General Motors cars were seen to W gaining upon Ford and finally they went ahead. With sales of Ford cars slipping and those of General Motors and other leading makes gaining. It became clear that Ford must introduce anew model.

DOUBT SANITY OF BEERBARQNS Notorious Pair Cringe Before Alienists’ Devices. By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 25.—Chief of Police Michael Hughes’ scheme to rid Chicago of criminals by making them stand sanity tests today seemed destined for a test in court following the arrest of two of the city’s most notorious Wer barons, Frank and Vincent McErlane. Attorneys for the two sought writs for their release. Captain of Detectives William O’Connor, however, was determined they would be held. Rousing two alienists out of bed early today, O’Connor rushed the McErlanes and two gangsters to the city hall, where a preliminary examination was conducted. It is the chief’s belief that if he can get the gangsters into the psychopathic hospital writs will be powerless to free them. The two McErlanes at first were belligerent, declaring “we’ll take our tests in court.” This attitude gave way to fear before the strange devices of psychology tests. “Get us outta this,” Frank cried. “Well blow town. There’s lots of Other places to make a living.” Following tests, the two doctors said results were sufficient to hold the pair for ten days’ observation, and an attempt will be made to defeat any move for their realease.

PROPOSED TAX REFUNDRAPPED Ashby Tells Kiwanians Plan Is Illegal and Unjust. Proposed tax refund in Marion County was attacked as illegal and unjust before the Kiwanis Club at the Claypool Wednesday by Attorney Samuel Ashby. “Under the statute no refund should be made except where protest is registered at the time of tax payment,” Ashby pointed out. “The law was never passed to provide for a general refund, but designed solely to care for individual cases. No adequate machinery is provided for such a refund as is now proposed. “There is no provision for refund at all in the common law so when made it must be under the statute. The law passed in 1919 would provide for refund of State and county taxes only, and there is no law which would permit refunds from other taxing units, such as the city, school city or township. “While the horizontal increases were wrong and in many instances did work injustice, it is irladvisable to refund now. Many new residents and corporations would be required to pay the refund, which is the same as demanding that although not here in 1919-20-21 they must pay the current expenses for that year. This is obviously unjust.” If the recent ruling of the Supreme Court, holding that the horizontal increases were made without proper notice, results in a general refund, it will cost $8,072,000 In Marion County alone, the speaker declared. To make such a feund would require a levy of $1,20 on every SIOO worth of taxable property, which amounts to approximately $756,000,000 in Marion County, he pointed out.
