BUREAU BACKS DOWN ON FIRE ! AO ACCUSATION Better Business Unit Has Ho Evidence to Link Hogston, Carey. T. M. Overly, manager of the Better Business Bureau, today issuco & statement saying that a report upon methods of solicitation for advertising for magazines sponsored by the State fire marshal’s office and the city fire prevention division, given to The Indianapolis Times oy a bureau representative for publication Tuesday, contained statements which were untrue and which “conveyed a false impression.’’ Overly referred specifically to the statement in the report which was given to The Times- that “Using their positions and offices as clubs over their victims, these two men literally have sandb-'-'.gcd thousands of dollars from the public and business institutions cf Indianapolis and vicinity in the last two years.” The “two men” referred to in the statement were Alfred Hogston, State fire marshal, and Horace W. Carey, city fire prevention chief. Can’t Name Men The bureau lias been investigating the solicitation methods of “The Indiana Fire Prevention Year Book,” the organ of the fire marshal’s department, and of the “Manual of Fhe Prevention,” sponsccved by the city fire prevention division. The bureau says it lias uncovered j evidence cf coercive methods on the i part of the solicitors for these two j magazines, but. Overly declared: “The Better Business Bureau docs J not have any evidence that cither : of these men personally assisted in such methods, or that any such j methods were used with their au- , thority or consent. "Solicitors of advertising have directly represented themselves, or indirectly given the impression that they were representing the State lire marshal or the local lire prevention chief, or their offices. “However, Mr. Hogston or Mi Carey cannot bo held accountable for the use of such practices and methods as are above mentioned, unless it could be shown that Mi'n Hogstcn or Mr. Carey knew that these practices were being followed Bureau Apologizes “We do not have any such information. and. therefore, an apology is due to both Mr. Hogston and Mr. Carey from the Better Business Bureau.” Overly also clarified information regarding a cheek in payment for advertising in the city manual, which bore the name in the space for indorsement of Jesse A. Hutsell, former five chief, making it appear that Hutsell personally had gotten the money. Overly declared that such a check is in the possession of the bureau, but that comparison of the signaturae with Hutsell’s actual writing has convinced him that the signature on the check is a forgery. Overly declared that the bureau was not retracting the statement that the practice of advertising solicitors frightening business men into buying advertising in the two publications with implied threats of official punishment bad occurred in a number of instances. “Thousands of dollars,” he asserted, “have been collected from business men who have been under the impression that this money was to be used in the furtherance of fire prevention work, when, in fact, the money has gone into the hands of the private promoters.” Little Fire Prevention “Bo far as the bureau can learn, the only fire prevention work accmplished has been the small amount of propaganda distributed through the magazines, all of which could have been disseminated far more cheaply in regular pamphlet form.” The board of safety and Mayor Slack, after an inquiry into the city fire prevention publication late Tuesday, issued an order prohibiting any policeman or fireman from soliciting for any purpose without direct authorization from the board. Mayer Slack issued a statement declaring that the city has not authorized publication of the manual and on one is authorized to make such representation.

G. 0. P. LAUDED .BY LEADERS AT STATE PARLEY George M. Barnard Sounds Keynote; Purnell Speaks for One Hour. “The "Grand Old Party” and its leaders were eulogized for hours today by speakers at the Republican State convention at Cadle Taber- ; nacle. George M. Barnard of Newcastle, temporary chairman, sounded the keynote. Congressman Fred Purnell, permanent chairman, praised the party for an hour. Barnard reminded delegates that they came t& the convention as representatives of Indiana voters. “You will be actuated by the purest and loftiest motives and take care that all nominees are of the highest character, or unquesI tioned honor and integrity, ’clean, | honest, moral, upright and capable, i w’ho w ill understands that a public | office is a public trust,” he asserted. Barnard characterized the Republican party as “the great party of constructive policy with the genius i of initiative and the ability of accomplishment.’ He said the party reaffirmed its | faith in protective tariff, going into ! detail on the history of the tariff law r . i VThe administration of Calvin

Coo-K(u)? No! By I lilted l’r< as NEW YORK. May 23 Samuel Kuku obtained permission to change his name to Cook in Brooklyn Supreme Court today. “For obvious reasons.” Kuku told the court, "the name Kuku subjects me to ridicule. ’

Coolidge will take jts place in our j history as one of the greatest since j the beginning of government,” he declared. Barnard lauded the party for j good business, decreased taxes, rail- j road management, agricultural conditions. He also echoed Senator James E. Watson's presidential campaign speeches in standing behind liberal pensions, restricted immigration, flood relief as a Federal; problem, and swung into a eulogy of Governor Ed Jackson's administration. He said the State tax levy had been reduced 24 2-3 cents since 1924; the budget law extended to cover practically all the State’s business and Indiana freed of bonded indebtedness. He cited the act of the 1927 Legislature for reassessment of real estate as fulfillment of the 1926 ; campaign pledge for farm relief. “The Republican party believes in i law observance and enforcement.” |he stated in closing. “We live in I this country under a system of j laws, and it is the bounden duty | of every citizen to observe and obey 1 his country’s laws.” More than 280.000.000 gallons of milk are conveyed annually by Brit- ' lsh railways.

LOWDEN GETS BUTLER D. K. Campaign Depressing, Says Columbia Head. Bii United Un as NEW YORK, May 23.—With the Republican convention only a month away, Nicholas Murray Butler, leader of the liberal wdng of the party, finds the nation approaching the close of the “most disheartening political campaign in my memory.” The president of Columbia University said none of the candidates in his party with the exception of Frank O. Low'den clearly had defined his position. “The presidential nomination has fallen to the same plane as a patent medicine sale or a suburban ; real estate development,” said j Butler. “What Lowden has said so emphatically as to the necessity of i maintaining the balance between a prosperous agriculture and a prosperous industry meets the strongj est approval of myself and a host lof our fellow Republicans in this j part of the country, j “To suppose that we can win the I election without the hearty support of the agricultural States of the West and Northwest is an illusion.” Refinance your debts now and repay as you earn.
