MOORE UP IN COURT TODAY FORSENTENCE Ex-Councilman Slated to Get 2 to 14 Years on Bribe Charge. NEW TRIAL SOUGHT Remy Remains Undecided on Dorsett Trial Set for Monday. Former City Councilmen Boynton J. Moore, convicted on a bribery charge two weeks ago, was scheduled to be sentenced to a two to fourteen prison term b efore Special Judge Paul G. Davis today. Defense Attorney Ira M. Holmes was to file a motion for anew trial. State and defense attorneys gathered in Criminal Judge James A. Collins’ office for a conference at 9:30, the hour set for the sentencing. Prosecutor William H. Remy and Special Prosecutor Emsley W. Johnson said they had l-eached no de-r cision as to whether to proceed with the trial of former Councilman Walter R. Dorsett Monday. Dorsett and all but Claude F+ Negley of the other indicted councilmen are seeking to be permitted to plead guilty to a misdemeanor bribery charge, punishable only by a fine in return for their resignations from office. Meredith Nicholson Selected The Chamber of Commerce, City Manager I,eague and Board of Trade joint committee at a meeting late Thursday picked a list of men it recommended as successors to Millard W. Ferguson. Democrat, and Dr. Austin H. Todd, Republican. Only one name, that of Meredith Nicholson, author, was suggested to succeed Ferguson. Fergusion’s successor will be elected Monday noon. Nicholson has been active in Democratic party affairs and was defeated for State Senator at the last election. The three from whom it was recommended Todd's successor be chosen, when his resignation becomes effective April 25, all are Republicans. They are: Horace B. Hewitt, 1031 Congress Ave., president of the North Indianapolis Cradle Works and treasurer of the H. L. G. Manufacturing Company.
Earl Buchanan, 1215 King ave., j employment manger of the National; Malleable Castings Company. The Rev. Clarence G. Baker. 201 N. Addison St., superintendent of the Hawthorne Social Service center. White, Meurer to Vote Councilmen John F. White and Albert F. Meurer, civic organizations’ candidates, Thursday elected to succeed Boynton J. Moore and Walter R. Dorsett, will vote with the other councilmen on the election of Ferguson’s successor Monday night. Election of Nicholson is practically assured. Councilmen indicated they would favor the author. They declined to comment on the four j recommended to succeed Todd. “It looks like they have elected him. He was the only person recommended,” said Council President Otis E. Bartholomew. “Nicholson was some pick. He is one of the outstanding men in Indianapolis. He’s a Democrat, but of course you would expect that in Ferguson’s place,” said Claude E. Negley. City on Front Page “Nicholson would be absolutely splendid. He will help put Indianapolis on the front page, but in a different way from what it has been done.” A group of citizens who circulated petitions recommending J. Edward Burk, Southeastern Civic Improvement League leader, to succeed Moore to council today issued a statement explaining why Burk’s name was not presented. The petitions were forwarded to a Board of Trade member of the joint civic committees and the committee apparently took no action on them, the statement said. Burk was not nominated from the floor at the council session because there was a misunderstanding as to the hour of the meeting, it said.

SIX CHARGED WITH THEATER BOMBING
Fire Marshal’s Aid Believes Hammond Case Solved. Bn United Pres* HAMMOND, Ind., April 7.—A five months’ investigation, with arrest of six persons, today led authorities to announce belief that the mystery surrounding Hammond's million dollar bombing, which damaged the State theater and literally shook the city last Nov. 8, has been solved. Announcement of the solution came from Deputy Fire Marshal Elmer Vroomaan, after he had placed under arrest William Kleihege, Hammond theater magnate, and lessee of the State at the time of the blast. Kleihege operates three other theaters in Hammond and Vrooman said he believed the motive for the bombing was “the fact that the State, although it was believed to have lost money, drew sufficient patronage from the other three not to allow any profits.”* Labor Leader Accused Other men accused of the bombing are: Harry L. Ames. Hammond labor leader, charged with placing the bomb; Dean Meloy, alleged Chicago gangster; Marwood Williams, Hammond; James Tuto, Hammond and Joe Million, who the State charges employed the dynamiters for Kleihege. Million was the motion picture machine operator at the time of the blast. Vrooman said Million told him that he received $2,000 from Kleihege to employ bombers. Then, the deputy fire marshal said. Million detailed the entire plot to him. how he employed Ames, business agent of the Hammond Hod Carriers' Union, and how Ames rounded up the gang. Charges “Frame Up” Kleihege has refused to talk, Vrooman said, claiming that he has been “framed” by those held as his co-conspirators. Kleihege’s bond was fixed at SIO,OOO. Other bonds: Ames, $80,000; Meloy, $40,000; Williams. $70,000, Tute, SIO,OOO, and Million, SIO,OOO. Os the group. Kleihege was the only one expected to have no trouble in giving bond.

FILE LAST PLEA TO STAY HALL’S DEATH
Death crept close to John Hall, 20, of South Bend today as a letter from his attorney containing a last desperate appeal for mercy lay on the desk of Governor Ed Jackson.” Hall is sentenced to be electrocuted at Indiana State Prison at Michigan City Tuesday. The Governor will not be abek to his office until Monday. He is at Clifty Falls State Park with his family, resting. Pliny Wolford, secretary to Jackson, has arranged a conference of Hall’s attorney, Frank E. Coughlin, South Bend, with the Governor Monday. Coughlin wrote that Thomas O’Brien, pal of John Hall, now serving a life term in State Prison, has confessed that he, not Hall, struck Louis Kreidler, South Bend druggist, a fatal blow on the head in a robbery attempt two years ago. The State contended in the trial that Hall hit Kreidler. The druggist died five days after the attack. Coughlin says that O'Brien did not confess until Friday because he had hoped to keep the fact that he had struck the blow from his aged, ailing mother. Coughlin says O’Brien now says he does not desire to add the weight of young Hall’s death to that of the druggist upon his soul. Hall was to have gone to the chair March 9, but the Governor granted a stay. On March 30 prison trustees held a public hearing upon

HINT COOLIDGE VETO IN FARM, I FLOODFIGHTS Serious Objections Against Both Measures Voiced by President. STILL OBJECTS TO FEE Executive Also Feels U. S, Should Not Pay Entire t River Control Cost. Il,i United Pn ss WASHINGTON. April 7.—Friends of farm relief and flood control foresaw today the possibility of presidential veto of one or both measures. President Coolidge had let them know that lie entertains serious objections against both the McNaryHaugen farm bill and the JoncsReid flood control measures. While he had not said in so many words that he would exercise his veto power, he had made it unmistakably clear that he strongly opposes important features of both bills. The President makes it a point not to announce an intended veto in advance, out many acquainted with his processes saw in his latest revelations a serious prospect of such action eventually—a stronger likelihood on farm relief than on flood control, however. Still Objects lo Fee Mr. Coolidge. as hitherto, still objects to the equalization fee of tlv McNary-Haugen bill. This phase of the situation caused his veto last year. His objections to the flood control measure are two-fold; nameij, against having the Federal government bear the whole cost and agairtst the situation which would compel the Federal government to buy at elaborate prices large tracts of land along the flood zone, much of which is held by rich corporations. There has been much talk in Congress that the farm bill has been altered to meet many of the President's objections. But it has not been changed to overcome his criticisms of the equalization fee principle. As the flood control measure. It was said in Congress today that the House promoter probably have compromised about as much as they can. Congress as a whole appears to favor Federal government payment of costs. Block Limit on Debate There are some, however, who will rejoice at a farm relief veto, since through it they could continue to campaign as “friends of the farmer,” battling for his relief by supporting the McNary-Haugen bill. Some friends of flood control suggest Coolidge may not desire eventually to accept responsibility for a veto on the highly important flood bill. The Senate will continue unlimited debate on the farm relief bill Monday. Efforts to reach an agreement limiting debate to force a vote next Tuesday or Wednesday were blocked Friday. 8 BURNED IN SLEEP Authorities Suspect Blaze Incendiary. CISCO, Tex..

Poolroom Proprietor Kills Man: Wounded Brother May Die. r.y Tim, s Speri',l MARTINSVILLE. Ind . April 7. With the blood of one man on his hands and a strong possibility that there may be another victim, Charles Blackstonc. 70. sits silent today in a cell of the Morgan County jail here. Ed Stewart, 33. was fatally shot by Blackstone Friday evening. He wounded Stewart’s brother, Wayno, 28. so seriously that his death is expected at any moment. Authorities said the slaying apparently was the result of a dispute over money the Stewarts owe Blackstonc. But the aged prisoner refuses to discuss the motive or anything else connected with the shooting. He fired two shots from a revolver at Ed Stewart, both taking cfTect. and causing almost instant death. Wayne Stewart was struck in the abdomen by three bullets. After the shooting Blackstone made no efiort to escape. He remained in his cigar store-poolroom and was arrested there. The shooting occurred on a street in front of the place.

SNOWSTORMS RAGE IN lOWA, NEBRASKA
No Relief From Cold Seen for Isolated Sections of Middle West. Pjt Until and Pr i ss CHICAGO, April 7. Freezing temperatures, accompanied by snow or rain in many sections, was forecast sos the Middle West today as the stfftm which Friday blanketed lowa mid Nebraska with snow and flooded the Southwest continued eastward. The forecast held little hope for favorable weather for Easter promenaders. While Sunday was expected to be generally fair throughout the Central States, subnormal weather would prevail, the Weather Bureau said. Omaha, Lincoln, Sioux City and other eastern Nebraska and western lowa cities were digging themselves out from under more than a foot of snow today, as disrupted telephone and telegraph communication was being restored after having isolated them for nearly twenty-four hours. The snowfall, heaviest April fall on record, had practically abated today, although temperatures still were falling. Actual damage was estimated at between $300,000 and $400,000, but farmers said the snow was worth millions as a blanket for the spring wheat crop. The storm tore down more than 1.000 poles and forced newspapers to resort to radio for their outside news. Stations at Kansas City and Dos Moines were utilized. Several ciltes were without lights or street car service for a time, but railroad and air mail schedules continued unhampered. Rivers and creeks in Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas were out of their banks and many persons were forced to flee to higher ground. The unseasonable weather and rain was felt as far south as Texas.
