MELLON CAST i FOR ROLE OF G. 0. PJjCTATOR Pennsylvania Hopeful That It Will Pick Candidate for 1928 Race. By LEO R. SACK WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon is returning to the United States next Week to—perhaps—dictate the next Republican candidate for President. Mellon, himself, ostensibly will be a candidate, but he will remain a

candidate, only until the right moment arrives, then his lieutenants will withdraw his name and throw Pennsylvania’s seventynine delegates to the candidate satis factory to Mellon. They hope to find a moment when Pennsylvania’s vote will be decisive, Penn sylvania politicians already are planning their

program for the next Republican national convention. Secretary Mellon has been suggested by Pennsylvanians as a candidate, and all factions seem to be behind him. Mellon was cruising around the Mediterranean in a private yacht when President Coolldge withdrew his candidacy, but, despite this, Mayor Charles Kline of Pittsburgh, the following day “nominated” Mellon for President. Solid for Mellon Two weeks later Governor Fisher of Pennsylvania, chosen because of Mellon support, announced that the Pennsylvania delegation would be solidly for Mellon. The treasury secretary is 72, too old, in the opinion of politicians, to run for President. But his presence in the group of favorite sons will give Pennsylvania Republicans the best opportunity to talk terms to other and younger candidates they have had in years. Pennsylvanians anxiously are awaiting this opportunity. Because the State is so solidly Republcian it has profited little from patronage distribution, according to Senator David A. Reed. Reed, on several occasions, has protested to President Coolidge at what he termed the shabby treatment his State has received in this respect.

U. S. DOLLARS CALLED AGENTS OF GOOD WILL Loans to Foreign Lands Are Rated As Insurance on World Peace. By United Frees NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—Thirteen billion American diplomats—in reality thirteen billion American dollars—all spreading the gospel of good will on every continent, are America’s surest good will asset, Lewis E. Pierson, President of the United States Chamber of Commerce, declares in Collier’s Weekly for Sept. 10. “One of the great forces for the rebuilding of Europe since the war has been the American dollar, just as a few decades ago the pound sterling and the franc and the mark were potent constructive allies of the great empire builders in our own country, when they were laying the foundation of our own industrial structure,” says Pierson. Money Loaned Everywhere “When I first went into banking you could pick up a New York paper and find quotations on perhaps six foreign bonds. Today you will find in almost any issue as many as 160 foreign securities traded in on the stock exchange in a single day. “We’ve put millions into making matches in Sweden, buying and selling silks and pade in China and Japan, farming in Austria, building textile mills in Czecho-Slovakia, operating tramways in Africa. "We have lent money to electrical goods makers in Germany, iron and steel mongers in the Ruhr, cattle raisers in the Argentine and film producers in Portugal. Helped Japan Rebuild “American capital helped rebuild Japan after her earthquake and again helped steady her business las spring after it had been hit by a financial earthquake. “Our dollars have helped develop nitrate plants- in Chile, oil companies In Venezuela, coffee-growing in Brazil. We have even lent money to the Pope. “We advanced millions to the Catholic hierarchy of Bavaria and millions to the Protestant church of Germany. “Os course, all these nations we lend to together might defeat America if such a foolish adventure were ever started. But it wouldn’t be a cheap fight. We would all be terribly scratched

‘Ouch Seat’ Source of Unholy Glee for Cops

i j COMMON wooden bench, charged with a current of electricity, A I provides members of the Indianapolis police department with a t/~*l great deal of enjoyment every day. /A policemena sits at erne end of the bench with the button controlling the electric switch under his foot. Other spectators sit around the bench and talk, waiting for their “prey.” Various methods are used to attract unsuspecting persons to sit down on the other end of the bench, although the fact that this is the only vacant seat around will lead many to sit down on the “dangerous” spot. “Hey, Bob, come here a minute,” someone calls to a policeman passing by. “Did you have an accident in your district this morning?” “Nope, not in my district,” the victim usually replies as he sits down. ‘‘Things were very quiet out there this morn . Hey! Ouch! Ouch, what the ?” he continues as he leaps from the bench amid the loud laughter of + he spectators. A leather covering hides the electric wires and plates and makes the seat more inviting. Many persons who have been initiated go out and bring others along to the “treat.” About an even dozen are "electrocuted” daily. Many forget and get a second and third charge in a day or so. Nobody seems to know where the "electric chair” came from originally. It is believed to have been found in Military Park by a policeman a great many years ago, brought to police headquarters and rejuvenated by the luto mechanics back in the police barn.

and bruised when it was over. It would cost them three times as much in money and twenty times as much in devastation and destruction, to say nothing of lives, as the debts they had thus cancelled. “No one knows that better than the very sensible people who owe those debts. “But it is foolish to talk of these loans breeding wars. They will breed peace because they will foster the one thing which is the greatest source of peace—lntercourse and understanding between our people and the other peoples of the earth.” REPORT BANDIT DYING Detectives at Bedside Seek Statement Before End Comes. Alvin L. Price, 30, of Kokomo, Ind., shot Monday after he and another bandit wounded Henry Weidner in the attempted hold-up of Weidner’s barbecue at Pendleton Pike and Emerson Ave., was reported dying at city hospital today. Two detectives were sent io his bedside at once to attempt to obtain a statement before his death.

OPPOSE PLAN TO SPLIT CHINA Government Frowns Upon Bingham Proposal. By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—Reported proposal of Senator Hiram Bingham, Republican, Connecticut, following his return from China, that the United States call a conference of native factions to set up regional Chinese Governments, is opposed by the administration here. President Coolidge has no intention of changing the traditional American policy favoring a unified China, the United Press has learned. Opposition to direct and indirect efforts to petition China, which might operate to the advantage of predatory foreign interests, was described as the most vital part of this Government’s far eastern policy. Under the Washington conference treaty this Government and other powers are pledged not to aid movements to divide China and not to intervene for one native faction against another, it was pointed out. Rules on Weapon Law By Times Special GARY.Ind., Sept. 2.—Firearms carried without concealment in an automobile is not a violation of the Indiana statute relating to weapons in motor vehicles, City Judge C.
