JIM REED FLAYS G. O. P. IN HIS CAMPAIGN KEYNOTE
FIERY SENATOR SEARS MELLON AND COOLIDGE j Monopoly Multiplies While President ‘Chooses Not to Act,’ Hs Says. TIME RIPE FOR CHANGE 25,000 Missourians Applaud Address in Which Foes Are Assailed. Bu United Press SEDALIA, Mo.. Oct. 12.—Senator James A. Reed, indorsed by the Missouri Democratic central committee for the party’s presidential nomination, today greeted 25,000 members of his party here with a speech accepted by the throng as an indication that he would enter'the natiqnal campaign. The occasion was the quadrennial State Democratic barbecue and a typical Reed plea for individual rights and Jeffersonian Democracy, combined with a ferocious attack on the Coolidge Administration, stirred the crowd to high enthusiasm. The State central committee met last night and indorsed Reed for the presidency, but also urged him to file again for the Senate. He has indicated he will not run for re-election. Time Ripe for Change “Times are ripe, rotten ripe, for a change in Washington,” Reed said, pleading for a united Democratic party in the 1928 campaign... Secretary of the Treasury Mellon he termed “the arch protector of the moneyed interests;” Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, “a bribest,” and Harry M. Daugherty, former Attorney General, “a vile insect.” Mellon, said Reed, “stands astride the Government whilst the President seduces Yellowstone trout with worms or studies the psychological effect of not choosing to run.” After reviewing several events of the Coolidge Administration, Reed said: “How stands the case?” Coolidge Doesn’t (Choose) "Trusts multiply, and the President does not choose to interfere. “Monopoly grows fat, and the President does not choose to act. “Combinations are formed and arrogantly pursue their methods under the protection of the Government, and the President chooses to approve. “Commissions are packed by interested parties and their attorneys, so that instead of being guardians of the public, they havi become instruments of oppression and of wrong, and the President chooses to do the packing. “Not a single effective blow has been struck in favor of liberation of the commerce of the Nation from the control of those who have conspired in the teeth of the statutes of the land, and Mr. Coolidge does not choose to act.” Indirectly Hits Drys Reed did not refer directly to prohibition, but denounced in generSl “the invasion of personal rights and privileges.” The protective tariff he blamed for the farm crisis. The foreign policy of the administration, he said, causes “the insolent attitude of foreign nations.” Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, informally a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination on a farm relief platform, Reed referred to as “one of the shining lights and the son-in-law of the Pullman Car Company, now a farmers’ friend and defender of the oppressed, who put up $38,500 to control the Missouri delegation to the Republican convention in the Harding campaign.” WHIST TOURNEY OPENS One Hundred Players to Banquet at Severin Tonight.

PREDICT APPEAL ON ROOTLING Judge Holds Tax Board Has No Authority on Bonds. Appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court from a ruling of Judge James M. Leathers, in Superior Court. One that the State tax board has no authority to pass on the issuance of bonds for building roads in Marion County is expected soon. Judge Leathers made the ruling Tuesday afternoon in connection with the sale of bonds for the improvement of Alexandria Rd., between Sherman Dr. and Arlington Ave., in Center and Warren Townships. The tax board issued an order disapproving the bonds. The case was taken to the court by Lawrence Hayes, a property holder. The suit asked that the county commissioners be ordered to issue bonds to pay Hayes Brothers, contractors, for the work. Judge Leathers also ordered that this be done within fifteen days. “The court finds that the county commissioners have not issued the bonds and that the order of the State board of tax commissioners is null and void. The tax commissioners are wholly without jurisdiction, the ruling said.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
stole out into the dark to see if the chicken still was in its pen. She struck a match. The wind was blowing. The match nearly burned the little fingers. The tiny hand wavered toward her dress —a flash—a scream and the parents rushed from the house to find the little girl’s clothing ablaze. The flames were quickly extinguished, but the child was seriously burned. She was taken to St. Francis Hospital. A few days later she appeared to be on the road to recovery and was taken home, but she grew worse.
SMITHY SHOOTS SELF Wound May Be Fatal; 111 Health Is Blamed. * Despondent over ill health that made him unable to carry on his business, William Ellsworth Thomas, 61, blacksmith, shot himself early today while sitting in the porch swing at his home, 3141-Clifton St. The bullet struck just below the heart. He is in a critical condition at the city hospital. His wife and daughter were in the house, but thought the report was that of an auto tire bursting or motor backfire. Passersby 'saw Thomas crouch in the swing and carried him into his home. Thomas for years has conducted a blacksmith shop near Clifton and Udell St. He started to his shop today, his wife said, but came back, stating that he forgot his time book. His wife was unable to tell where the gun, a .32 calibre, came from, stating the family never owned one.
SHE child was taken to city hospital, and there doctors, nurses and internes, who grew to love the patient little sufferer, began a three weeks’ battle to save her life. They did everything they could, but yesterday Helen died. And a gangly young fry, grown much larger now, may have wondered as it pecked around its pen at the Schatz home why those tender little hands never come to stroke it any more.

FORD TO TAME JUNGLE TO BUILD RUBBER EMPIRE Vast Amazon Wilderness Has Few Trails; Natives Travel in Log Canoes. Bu United Press DETROIT, Oct. 12. —Henry Ford will throw the vast resources, human and mechanical, of his organization into converting 6,000 square miles of Amazon jungle into thriving settlements for the production of rubber, Edsel Ford said today. The formation of the Compania Ford Expansao Industriale db Brazil, announced yesterday exclusively in a United Press dispatch from Para, has aroused considerable interest in automobile circles. It was regarded as Ford’s first step toward breaking the British monopoly and the development of cheaper rubber for the Untied States. , Edsel Ford said that their entry into rubber production was the result of extensive preliminary study in which all major details had been taken into consideration. Area Is Disease Ridden He will have to bring health and sanitary discipline into territoy ridden by the malaria bearing mosquitoes; by yellow fever and other diseases which the Rockefeller foundation has attacked with greater or less success in less isolated but contiguous arears. He will have to solve the not Inconsiderable problem of maintaining a native labor supply. Normally this is scant in quantity and irregular in character and these residents of the “bush” usually work when as they feel the urge. The white man’s activity in the region is limited by constant exposure to tropic sun and susceptibility to disease. Plan Gradual Development The scheme calls for the gradual development of the acreage so that after a certain period an annual crop will be available. Rubber trees bear many years after their planting and thereafter at long intervals. Overshadowing the eventual fact of production is the romance of the jungle conquered by modern mechanical genius. Ford will have to create his own transportation in a wilderneswhere human trails are few and where natives travel largely in Uieir corials, canoe like boats hollowed out of tree trunks. Enforce Sanitary Discipline Ford plans involve the maintenance of an ocean service from the United States probably to Para.

From Para Island, only light draught vessels can be used over the shallow rivers, broken in many cases by rapids. It is possible, however, that the organization will clear large areas of jungle in suitable spots for flying fields. Hydroplanes may also be used In such cases where the rivers are broad enough for landing. Edsel Ford admitted that the greatest obstacle facing the project was the insanitary character of area. He said that specialists would be employed to enforce strict sanitary discipline.
