DALE ATTACKS DRY QUESTIONS BY SHUMAKER Questions Anti-Saloon League Head’s Right to Make Quiz. A “pause, in prayerful contrition” was called today in Anti-Saloon League Superintendent E. S. Shumaker’s biennial cross-examination of Indiana candidates’ views on prohibition by George R. Dale, Muncie publisher and candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor. “Upon what assumption of authority do you, an admitted cog in a political machine, whose boss is in the penitentiary and the rest seeking bail bond, assert the right to interrogate and cross-question a Democrat?” Dale asked in a burning open letter to Shumaker. “You ask me,” Dale wrote, “to sign my name on your dotted line, in order you say, that you ‘may be in a position to give trustworthy information to the dry voters of the State.’ ” “Permit me to suggest that before you proceed much further with your biennial cross-examination, you pause, in prayerful contrition, long enough to apologize to the ‘dry voters of the State,’ who have in the past voted your instructions, and repented afterward. “In 1924, under the joint instruction of yourself and D. C. Stephenson, thousands of deluded men and women voted for,* and helped elect Ed Jackson, Governor of Indiana. In 1922 you very heartily indorsed Clarence W. Dearth forjudge of the Delaware circuit court and he was elected by a law-defying group known as the Ku-Klux Klan, aided and abetted by yourself and the Anti-Saloon League. “Acting upon your trustworthy information, the city of Indianapolis is threatened with a receivership and right now you are promoting the candidacy of Senator Arthur R. Robinson, who was plucked from obscurity and wrapped in a senatorial toga by a caged dragon.” Declaring Shumaker to be a “poor picker,” Dale continued, “I did not choose to be indorsed by you. Your recommendation would make me suspicious of myself. I will not answer your impudent questions. If I had my choice I would prefer to

DOCTORS SHOW HOW TO WAKE UP WITHOUT COLD

Many Here End Head Gild and Chest Cold in Few Hours at Home by Hospital Method The pleasure of quick relief, a good night’s sleep and waking up the mext morning without the misery and danger of a head cold, cough or chest cold. This, briefly, is the substance of reports from hundreds of Indianapolis people who, like Mrs. W. H. Burnette, have found quick relief through a pleasant and inexpensive home method recommended by hospital physicians. Mrs. Burnette, for example, was treated for a severe cold which started in her nose passage and had spread down towards her lungs, causing fear of pneumonia. Doctors immediately prescribed double doses of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral—a concentrated mixture of wild cherry, terpin-hydrate and other ingredients which have relieved even the most extreme hosptal cases. Relief began with the first pleasant swallow. She felt its comforting, healing warmth—from her nasah passages deep down into her chest. In a few hours the cold had cleared up noticeably and that night she breathed freely and didn’t cough once. In another day or so, doctors report, all traces of the cold

TOURNEY GUEST MAY SUE OOF Bloomington Principal to Act on Scalping Arrest. A. B. Scales, Bloomington Junior High School principal, today contemplated filing a suit against the police officer who arrested him on a “vagrancy” charge at the State basketball tourney here last week, according to a dispatch from Bloomington. Scales was arrested when he tried to buy a ticket of an alleged scalper Saturday. The charges were dismissed in court. Humiliation and embarrassment brought about by his arrest and trip to -police headquarters in a patrol wagon is expected to be the basic of Scales’ suit. He said the officer slapped him in the face when he asked why he was arrested. Mayor L. Ert Slack said he had not been advised that a damage suit was to be filed against - the city. Corporation Counsel John W. Holtzman said Scales could file a suit against the policeman charging false arrest, assault and battery or damages, but that a damage suit against the city would not be sustained in court. Fred W. Connell, safety board president, said an investigation of the case is being made.

SCRIPPS URGED SONS DEVELOP SELF-RELIANCE Letters in Sint Show Late Publisher Guarded Against Dangers of Wealth.

B,'i United Press CINCINNATI. Ohio, March 21. Letters and papexs revealing a wealthy man guiding his sons along the road of opportunity to riches comprise the basic evidence in Mrs. Josephine S. Scripps’ suit for an accounting against Robert P. Scripps, executor of the estate of E. W. Scripps, founder of the ScrippsHoward newspapers. The second day of the trial In Federal Court here found the plaintiff’s counsel introducing many communications between father and sons, in the effort to support the claim of Mrs. Scripps that her husband, the late James G. Scripps, was in partnership with his father. Counsel for Robert P. Scripps has announced he will produce letter? in due course purporting to show no partnership existed. Whatever the legal weight of the lettei-s an ddocuments may be as bearing upon the issues of the trial, the public in the courtroom finds them absorbing disquisitions on the innermost thoughts of a wealthy pai-ent in his concern for the busixress conduct and success of his chil-

dren. “A father shouldn't meddle too j much in his business after turning it ; over to his sons,” he said. His feeling that sons of a rich parent may be severely handicapped hr the constant realization that i tiieirs wall be a lai-ge inheritance led E. W. Scripps to lay down at one j time to his boys, both a warning and a stipulation in their conduct of his business. The warning “each child should

When there was sent to the son a suggested memorandum of contract whereby he and his father were to share equally the increment of the business as partners, he repected it. “It is impractical from a legal point of view,” the young man wrote. “It is a cumbei-some piece of machinery.” “My plans call for no contract at all.” he wrote. “I just go to my father every year or two and ask if he thinks we are entitled to any special consideration. If he decides we are, then he decides how much.” A memorandum was introduced Tuesday which had been initialled by E. W. Scripps. It stated he desired to have an agreement drawn covering his business arrangement with his two oldest sons, but insofar as documents thus far presented in court show the proposed contract was never negotiated.
