DAWES VIEWED AS STRONGEST OF G. O. P. DARK HORSES

SENTIMENT FOR VICE PRESIDENT SEEN ON RISE Second Choice Strength of Illinoisan Believed Growing Rapidly. CLOSE LOWDEN FRIEND Favorite Son Delegates on His Side, Belief of Observers. BY PAUL R. IMALLON United Tress Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Behind all the open political maneuvers promoted for presidential candidates here, an underlying movement for Vice President Dawes is gaining recognition from Republican congressional leaders. While Dawes has renounced the movement and has proclaimed himself for former Governor Lowden of Illinois, he is amassing a “second choice" strength which some Republican leaders here say will place liim foremost in case of prolonged balloting at Kansas City. The Watson, Curtis and Willis, favorite son candidates of Indiana, Kansas and Ohio, respectively, would have their delegates go to Dawes if they can not be nominated, the United Press was told today. Acceptable to Farm Bloc Certain congressional independent farm bloc Republicans of the wheat belt say privately that Dawes would be acceptable. Much of the other opposition to the candidacy of Secretary Hoover has let it be known in various ways that Dawes is acceptable. A dozen Republican Senators privately have said, as they pointed to Dawes, presiding: “There is the next President of the United States.” The Dawes movement never may grow into open proportions until convention time, the Vice President’s friends say. They profess to believe Hoover may be stopped by Lowden and that then Dawes may be thrown in to get all of Lowden's strength, the congressional favorite son support and even some of the Hoover votes. Dawes and Lowden are close friends. A confidant of theirs has said they could sit down on opposite sides of a table and in purely friendly feeling determine between themselves which is better suited for and accessible to the nomination. Again Talks Dawes Dawes in December said he would not be a candidate and that he would support Lowden. Tire matter was permitted to rest there, until some administration backers in the Senate went to the independents and promised to support “a man who would sanction the McNaryHaugen farm relief bill” if the independents would oppose Hoover. Then both sides began talking Dawes again, although Lowden himself favors the farm relief measure. This action was followed by decision of the Willis supporters to name Dawes’ uncle, W. W. Mills of Marietta, and E. L. Taylor, counsel for Dawes Pure Oil Company, as Willis delegates in Ohio. Lowden Gets Delegates CHICAGO Feb. 22.—Frank O. Lowden, former Governor of Illinois and candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. today Claimed the first instructed delegate votes of the Republican national convention. Clarence F. Buck, Lowden’s campaign manager, announced here that he haa received word that the First congressional district of North Carolina had named John L. Phelps and Miss Mary Hoskins as delegates, and instructed for Lowden. Reed Blasts G. 0. P. TULSA, Okla., Feb. 22.—Senator •Tames A. Reed of Missouri renewed his attack upon the Harding and Coolidge Administrations in an address here last night, declaring the Republican protective tariff was responsible for the farmers’ misfortunes.

Calls Washington Greatest of Men

"TIT ASHINGTON was not perVV feet. He was hot-tempered and could swear ‘like an angel’ when it was necessary. But he had himself wonderfully under control and possessed an instinctive hoyror of what was base and ignoble.” Such is a part of the humanizing characterization of the Father of His Country, drawn today by Prof. Paul Haworth, head of the history department of Butler University, whose vivid account of Washington in his work, ‘‘George Washington, Country Gentleman,” has won national acclaim. ‘‘The early biographers of Washington pictured him as a demigod without any frailties or human imperfections,” Professor Haworth told The Times today on the anniversary of Washington’s birth. “In consequence, people regarded him as a model statue with a model heart and thought that such a paragon of perfection could not possibly be interesting. a a u “GOME more recent biographers have gone to the opposite extreme and have tried to muckrake him, but have only managed to prove that he was a human being like you and me. “His greatest attributes were his character and good judgment. Some of his contemporaries, like Jefferson and Hamilton, knew more than he about certain things. But he could listen to their arguments on a disputed poiht, such as broad or strict construction of the Constitution, and then unerringly choose the right course. “He was human, but the English historian Green said: ‘No nobler figure ever stood in the

NORRIS SCORES BALTZELL FOR STRIKEMLING Says Judge Barred Street Car Men From Acting Within Legal Rights. BY ROSCOE B. FLEMING By Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.—" Judge Baltzell should not have issued the injunction he issued in the Indianapolis street car case,” Senator Norris of Nebraska, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, asserted today after hearing W. H. 'Latta, an attorney for the Indianapolis Street Railway Company, outline the case from the company's standpoint. “He enjoined international officials of the Association of Street and Electric Railway employes from advising men of the Indianapolis union to do what they had a perfect legal right to do,” Norris continued. Albert Ward, Federal district attorney, was present to defend himself and Judge Baltzell from the charges of violation of the Clayton act, and "subterfuge” to violate that act, made against them Tuesday by former Governor A. J. Groesbeck of Michigan. Attacked by Groesbeck A sub-committee is holding hearings on the Shipstead bill to prevent anti-labor injunctions. Groesbeck Tuesday said that the injunction and the ninety-day jail sentence imposed by Baltzell on J. M. Parker and R. B. Armstrong, officers of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes, were an abuse of justice. Ward said his contempt affidavit was impelled by the violence occurring during the strike of July, and that he knev nothing of the issuance of the original injunction. Senator Walsh, of Montana declared it a “very remarkable thing” that Ward should have prosecuted the contempt proceedings. He said he should have thought that the duty of the street car company attorneys. “Dynamiting and violence were my concern,” retorted Ward. “Protection of the public was my duty, or so I constructed it.” “But this proceeding had nothing to do with violence. It was simply to prevent a strike,” returned Walsh. “They were all bound up together,” Ward answered. He said he “frankly admitted” that testimony against Parker and Armstrong was given by their aids, Young and Johnson, secretly working for the company. Questioned by Norris “An attorney advising these men that the contract was not legal, or a father of a street car employe advising him to strike, would have been liable to jail under the injunction, would he not?” asked Senator Norris of Nebraska, chairman of the subcommittee. “The injunction was not limited by such relationships,” answered Latta. Asked by Norris if the injunction were not a violation in itself of the Clayton Act, which guarantees the right to strike, Latta said it had been upheld by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, on appeal from the contempt jail sentences. Latta admitted that three men were “subsidized” by the company to act as spies among the strikers, and that one of them became head of the union. Latta criticised Groesbeck's testimony Tuesday. “The theory of this case was that a written contract existed between the company and its employes, and that persons not connected with that contract were interfering to secure a breach of it,” Latta said. The contract signed by over 1,000 men made “The Public Service Commission of Indiana” a board of arbitration for all differences and the men agree not to strike.

MAY COMBINE SCHOOLS De Pauw-Methodist Hospital Merger Suggested. Methodist Hospital trustees will consider a proposal to affiliate the nurses training school with De Pauw Unlversit, Greencastle, a Methodist institution, at the April 12 meeting.

HICKMAN-HUNT DEFENSE READY State Nears Close of Case in Thoms Murder. By United Press LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22.--With the State nearing the close of its case, attorneys for William Edward Hickman and Welby Hunt today prepared to begin their defense in the joint trial of the two youths for the murder of Ivy Thoms. Hickman, already under sentence of death for the murder of little Marion Parker, Tuesday was named as the slayer of Thoms, who was killed Christmas eve, 1926, during an attempted hold-up in which Hickman and Hunt shot their way to freedom. Mrs. Ruth Thoms, widow of the slain druggist, testified she saw Hickman fired the shot w’hich killed her husband. “My husband was standing with his hands above his head,” she testified. “Both Hickman and Hunt fired shots at him, but Hickman was shooting when my husband fell.” Previous evidence had tended to show that the bullet which killed Thoms was of the same calibre used by the gun which Hunt used in the attempted hold-up. Counsel for Hunt was expected to attempt to prove that Hickman influenced the younger Hunt to taking part in the hold-up and that he was the “master mind” of the two.

The murder by fire of Miss Margaret Brown, who was found being cremated alive in a pool of gasoline near here, led police today on the trail of a man who may have robbed her of $9,000. He is believed to have burned her to conceal the robbery. Miss Brown, a governess, who recently left the employ of a prominent New York family, was identified today by her brother, F. J. Brown of Ft. Lee, with whom she lived. Every detail of the dead woman’s clothing and personal articles corresponded to those worn by his sister. Victim Is Identified The identification appeared clinched when Miss Mary Brown, niece of the dead woman, described over the telephone to County Detective Fred Roft the scar of a past operation on her aunt’s body. The scar was found as described on the dead woman s body. She said Mrs. Brown planned to leave Tuesday for Florida and had SB,OOO in bonds and SI,OOO in cash when she left New York.
