HOOVER FACES CRITICAL TEST IN THREE PRIMARIES

WAGES FIGHT IN PIVOTAL STATES FOR DELEGATE! Expects to Win 90 of 169 in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts, OHIO CONTEST VITAL Measures Strength Tuesday With Whole Field of Rivals. BY RAY TUCKER. WASHINGTON, April 23.—Herbert Hoover will meet several stern tests in Tuesday’s primaries in the I pivotal States of Ohio, Pennsylvania ; and Massachusetts. With 169 dele- i gates involved Hoover seems sure; of ninety, but hopes to pick up many j more. The Ohio primary is all-impor- j tant at this stage, for here Hoover j is facing his whole field of rivals, j including Lowden, Curtis, Watson j and Dawes. If he can defeat that j alliance he will definitely prove his ! vote-getting qualities and popularity j With the people. Though Dawes is not an avowed ‘ candidate, it is admitted that the | Ohio primary has developed into a battle between Hoover and the Vice ; president. Will Settle Draft Issue In Massachusetts Hoover will face i the dwindling group, which, despite Coolidge’s fourth sharp warning, j still hopes to force him into the race. This faction is headed by | William M. Butler, G. O. P. chair- j plan. The result may determine whether | Ccoiidge’s letter forbidding use of | his name in the primary has had the effect intended, or whether his home people think the President has not yet said “I wall not run.” If thousands write in Coolidge’s name on stickers, the anti-Hoover politicians will continue their clamor for Coolidge. If not, the die hard army may suffer from wholesale desertions to the Hoover camp. There are no contests in the | Pennsylvania affair, but the personnel of the seventh-nine delegates will reveal what chance Hoover has of getting a large vote from this State at Kansas City, Mellon Non-Committal Mellon still remains non-com-mittal, and in that respect has given aid and comfort to the antiHcover forces headed by Charles D. Hilles, New York National committeeman. But such prominent Pennsylvanians as Senator Reed, Boss Vare of Philadelphia, Governor Fsher and W. B. Mellon, G. O. P. chairman, incline toward Hoover, and Tuesday’s result may have a decisive influence on the Secretary of the Treasury. The Hoover forces claim at least thirty delegates in Ohio, while the opposition concede him only sixteen. If he gets more than twenty, he can rightfully regard it as a victory over Daw r es. In Massachusetts he s expected to pick up at least thirty and possibly the whole thirty-nine. G. 0. P. ALWAYS LATE Candidate Declares Party Slow Denouncing Corruption. Republicans always are late in demanding a “new deal,” declared Frank C. Dailey, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor, addressing the Jefferson Club at the Denison Saturday night. “The Republican party never has asked for anew deal during an administration, no matter how corrupt it may have been,” he said, ''but when the time comes for another election its loudest cry is a ‘new deal.’ And then it indorses the administration of every corrupt Republican officeholder at the same time.” CITY LOSES GOLF TILT flVeather Man Balks Plan to Open Municipal Links. The weather man is conspiring to prevent Mayor L. Ert Slack from having a game of golf with the park board, it appeared today. Weather Saturday again presented formal opening of municipal golf courses for the fourth consecutive week. Opening has been postponed another week provided weather permits the mayor and Board Members John Milnor, M. E. Foley and Adolph Emhardt to visit the greens. Dawes Mum on Action Pv United Press WASHINGTON, April 23.—Vice President Dawes declined to corAment today on the action of Willis delegates in Cincinnati announcing their intention of voting for him for the Republican presidential Domination. Dawes has maintained that he is not a candidate and had announced his intention of supporting former Governor Lowden of Illinois.

avail, for the truth can now be easily discovered. A push-button on the instrument which measures the tone emitted for the test permits the interruption of the sound at any moment. If a patient says he hears a tone, and then claims that he still hears it when it has been cut off, it is evident that he has been deceiving himself.

ESCAPE OFF TRAIN Prisoners Take Guns; Beat U. S. Officers. By United Press PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 23. Two Federal prisoners en route from Topeka, Kas., to Washington, D. C., escaped from officers aboard the Liberty Limited of the Pennsylvania railroad early today at Derry, Pa, Jake New, 18, and Owen Richards, 18, the prisoners, were being taken to Washington for trial on charges of stealing automobiles.

Contracts for moving voting booths to polling places in Marion County and for the construction of two short stretches of gravel roads were awarded today by the county commissioners. Michael O'Brien was awarded the job of moving the booths for $386. Nine bids ranging from $1,345 down to O’Brien’s were received. C. E. Pickett, contractor, was awarded the job of building 1,600 feet of gravel road on Pennsylvania St., Perry township; and George T. Garrett got the contract for six blocks extended north from Tenth St., along Rice Rd. His bid of $8,042.73 was low, and was $1,500 under the engineer’s estimate. Pickett’s bid was $1,789, which is $2,000 under the estimate.

BOOTH TARKINGTON INDORSES HOOVER Novelist Lauds Secretary As Historical Figure. Booth Tarkington today gave his indorsement to Herbert C. Hoover’s presidential candidacy. In a letter to Laurens L. Henderson, Marion County Hoover manager, the Hoosier novelist said: “In the world of the living today there are not many names that are inspiring on the international scale. One of those that are and that stir more people than their own to gratitude for great work done in the name of humanity Is that of Herbert Hoover. “His abilities are those appertaining to greatness and for years he has unselfishly devoted from completely and tirelessly to the public service. “Never has he played for reward never has he altered one word for favor. Already he is a permanent figure in the*history of our times—a figure to which long will turn grateful eyes of multitudes benefited.

One who has normal hearing in both ears will, however, be able to hear his voice with one ear while the tone is switched to the other, and he will not change the level of his voice as the tone is switched back and forth. If he is deaf in one ear, he will raise his voice every time the tone sounds in his normal ear. When the tone is switched on

HOUSE TO VOTE SOON ON CLARK MEMORIAL BILL Committe Will Report Today on Measure After Long Delay. I Bn Times Special WASHINGTON, April 23.—The House bill authorizing $1,000,000 for a memorial to George Rogers Clark at Vincennes, Ind., was expected to be reported to the House today, after being held up three weeks in the library committee by Representative Luce, its chairman. Pressure was brought, to bear on Luce by Representative Albert | Vestal, House whip, after the Indiana delegation held a meeting Saturday j night. ! The delegation in conference with :D. Frank Culbertson and other members of the Indiana Commis- : sion, agreed to pass the bill “as is” I and then to seek at least $1,500,000 | for the memorial through compro- | mise in conference between the House and Senate, the ’ntter body having passed a bill authorizing sl,i 750,000. | Senator Watson, of Indiana, with i whom the Hoosiers have been working, was indignant at Luce’s reported attempts' to make an agreement that the Senate conferees would leave the bill untouched. Luce’s committee which sliced the amount asked also reframing of the bill so that a Federal commission would build the memorial, has been holding the bill back so i that its proponents would have to take the changed bill or nothing, in the legislative jam at the end of the session. The first chance to pass the bill will probably be next Monday. GILLIOM URGES CARE IN PRECINCT VOTING !

to signal each time he hears a sound. A truthful signal can be made almost instanteously, but if the patient must stop to decide each time in which ear he hears the sound, much more time is required and he quickly becomes confused, thus betraying himself. These tests are expected to prove valuable in compensation cases where loss of hearing is involved.

U. S. MAY DROP OIL PLOT CASE AGAINST FALL Little Chance to Convict Seen After Acquittal of Sinclair. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 23.—Announcement of a Government decision to drop the Teapot Dome conspiracy indictment against former Secretary of Interior Albert B. Fall is expected this week, as a result of the acquittal of Harry F. Sinclair Saturday by the the jury which tried the oil multimillionaire on the same charge. Owen J. Roberts and Atlee Pomerene, special Government prosecutors in the oil cases, will make a final decision on the question in a few days. They believe now there is little chance of obtaining a conviction in the three criminal cases still pending, and all of them may be dropped. This would bring to an end the cases resulting from the first Teapot Dome Senate investigation. Prepare for Stewart Trial Meantime, however, Acting; United States Attorney Leo A. Rover prepared for trial the first! case resulting from last winter’s renewed Senate oil inquiry,—the indictment of Robert W. Stwart, chairman of the board of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, on a charge of contempt of the Senate. Stewart has pleaded not guilty, and his trial before a jury has been tentatively set for May 21. The Senate Teapot Dome committee expects to discuss with Stewart Tuesday evidence tending to indicate he received one-fourth of the Continental Trading Company’s mysterious $3,080,000 Liberty bond profits. Members of the Sinclair jury, which returned its verdict after an hour and fifty-six minutes of deliberation, were reluctant today to discuss the case, although one or two disclosed that the defense lawyers won the case long before it went to the jury. The verdict was reached on the third ballot, eight voting for convistion and four being uncertain on the first ballot. Only two were uncertain on the second vote. “Victim of Circumstances” The jury was said to feel Sinclair a victim of circumstances, indicating that the defense’s reiteration that "95 per cent of the Government’s case was against Albert B. Fall and 5 per cent against Sinclair” made a deep impression. The other two pending oil indictments which may be dismissed charge Fall with having received a $190,000 bribe from E. L. Doheny, to whom Fall leased the Elk Hills naval reserve in 1922, and Doheny with giving the same “bribe.”
