DEMOCRATS GUARD AGAINST PERIL OF PARTY RIFTS

LEADERS VOICE i OPTIMISM FOR i OUSTING 0. Q, P. prank Dailey Holds Favor as State Convention Draws Near. FREDRICK IS CONTENDER Districts to Name Delegates Tuesday on Eve of Picking Ticket. Democrats in convention here Ji.-xt Wednesday will select their candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, secretary of State, treasurer, auditor and other State offices on whom their hopes of success in Lite November election will be thinned. Although the convention proper! *vill not open until 9 a. m. Wednes- j day, Monday and Tuesday will find Democratic leaders, delegates and candidates gathering in the Claypool for hobnobs intended to bear fruit on the convention floor in; Cadle Tabernacle. A score of candidates will open headquarters on 4he eighth floor of the Claypool,: While lists of candidates bear inVdication of warm rivalry for nominative honors, party leaders are I jnaking strenuous efforts to avoid irifts which in any measure might •jpeopardize the chances of a Democratic victory in the fall. Favor Dailey for Governor This caution is encouraged by the general conviction that with the right candidates, the party is in an Unusually strong position to depose the State Republican administration. Frank C. Dailey, Indianapolis at'torney, nationally known foe of feraft and prosecutor of Newberry, iappears certain of the nomination for Governor on an early ballot. Dailey supporters today reiterated their claim to the votes of approximately 800 delegates. Only 593 of the 1,185 delegates are required for domination. Dailey, who attained a 50,000 plurality in the primary race but failed ©f a majority, will have the opposition in convention of forces back of John E. Fredrick, Kokomo manufacturer, second in the primary. Levy May Thin List Earl Crawford, of Milton, whose fchief support came from farmers, and George R. Dale, Muncie editor, are the other two primary figures jwho have stuck in the gubenatorial field. Neither is accorded any considerable delegate strength, but their withdrawal early in the convention would be of value to Frederick, it is said. It was regarded doubtful if their names actually would be placed in nomination if the State Central committee stands by precedent in levying an assessment against candidates before their names can be presented. Candidates are required by law to bear the expense of the State convention. Other candidates avowed and prospective, for other nominations subject to the convention, are: Candidates Include Lieutenant Governor Fred L. Feick of Garrett: Robert R. Batton of Marion; Addison Drake of Sullivan, and Robert Hougham of Franklin. Secretary of State—Arthur HamTick of Greencastle; Herman Weinke of South Bend: Perry Rule of Bringhurst; Eugene B. Crowe of Bedford, and A. C. Thomas of New Harmony. Auditor of State—David S. Ferguson of Covington: Dr. G. W. Sweighart of East Chicago; George F. Boehne of Evansville, and Ora C. King of Sweetser. Treasurer of State—Jap Jones of Martinsville. Unopposed for Judge Superintendent of Public Instruction—John A. Linebarger of Rockville. and E. S. Christen of Decatur Attorney General—Curtis Shake, of Vincennes; and John W. Kitch. of Plymouth. Reporter of Supreme and Appellate Courts—Mrs. Charles W. Hack, of Shelbyville, and Charles K. Zollman, of Jefferson. Judge of the Supreme Court, Second District —Joseph of Indianapolis. Judge of the Appellate Court. First Division—Warren W. Martin |of Boonville. Judge of the Appellate Court, Second Division—A. C. Wood of Angola; Lynn J. Gifford of Tipton and Samuel E. Cook of Huntington. The convention formally will ratify the 'nomination of Albert Stump for United States Senator. The platform advisory committee Will meet a't Democratic State headquarters in the Claypool at 3 p. m. Monday. The State central committee, meeting Tuesday at 11 a. m„ will consider final convention details.

Walter Chrysler Rivals Ford as Automobile King,

$450,000,000 Dodge Merger Puts Manufacturer in Top Rank. By XK'A Sere ire NEW YORK, June 2.—Henry Ford for many years has enjoyed an unquestioned claim to the honor of being the biggest single figure in the automobile world, but Walter P. Chrysler looms as a rival as a result of the announced $450,000,000 Dodge-Chrysler merger. Chrysler’s climb has been from a job wiping locomotives in the Union Pacific roundhouse at Ellis, Kansas —a job that netted him five cents an hour. It was only four years ago that his name first appeared on an automobile radiator or hub cap. Between these two epochs in his phenomenal career, he served as a railway motive power superintendent, foreman of the American Locomotive plant at Pittsburgh, and as a production executive for several big automobile manufacturers. , Chrysler developed a knack for pulling sick automobile concerns out of the doldrums. His last task along this line was with the Maxwell company, which he eventually took over and transformed into the Chrysler company. It is said that when he began manufacturing his own car, it was in preference to accepting a salary offer of $1,000,000 a year. “Lick your job,” is Chrysler’s slogan. And he has manifested all the “go-getting” qualities that the slogan implies. NURSES GET DIPLOMAS More than 600 persons attended commencement exercises for the Indiana Christian Hospital class Friday night at the Third Christian Church. Dr. Frederick D.

Mason, organist, and Miss Louisa Stegg, vocalist, were on the program. PLAN TRIP TO - NIAGARA Traffic Club Members, Families Will Visit Falls, June 16-17.

The trip will be both a pleasure and educational jaunt, J. D. Riddle, president said.

MODERN MAN LIVED IN AFRICA 25,000 YEARS AGO

By Science Service CHICAGO, June 1. —While Cro-Magnon man ruled Europe, 25,000 years ago, he had as neighbors in Africa a race who used tools and weapons like his own, but who in their bodily makeup so closely resembled men of today that they may fairly be called "modern.” This great backward extension of the history of the “modern” type of human beings is the most significant point about the recent discovery by American and French anthropologists oi a number of

COURT EASY ON YOUTH Waterloo High School Student Sold Poison Liquor. By United Press WATERLOO, Ind., June 2.—Walter Wing, 19, son of D. A. Wing, is thankful because he is only 19 and because he has just been graduated from high school. These two things are all that kept him from serving a six months penal farm sentence and paying a fine of SIOO and costs, amounting to $l6O. The sentence and fine was in> posed upon young Wing and later suspended in DeKalb Circuit Court at Auburn after he admitted selling a pint of liquor to one of his schoolmates last winter. Only timely arrival of a physician at the bedside of the buyer of the liquor prevented death.

Here Is the Summer White House

Photo copyright, 1928, by NE A Service, Inc., Transmitted by Telephoto A bungalow in the heart of Wisconsin's lake and timber region near Brule, Wis., about thirty miles from Superior, has been chosen by President Coolidge as the summer White House. The eight-room bungalow where the Coolidges will live is pictured at the left, the larger building on the right being the main lodge and dining hall. In the foreground is the Brule River. The estate is known as Cedar Island Lodge, and is the property of the heirs of the late Henry Clay Pierce, oil magnate.

BANKS REFUSE TO BUY SHELBY STREET BONDS Mayor Tangle Delays Paving Projects and Other Improvements. Failure of banks to buy the $56,000 city bond issue for paving Shelby St. between Troy and Madison Aves. will delay the proposed improvement. The bond issue was to pay the city's share of the costs under the connecting link law. The county is to pay half. Sterling R. Holt, city controller of the Slack administration, advertised for bids on the bonds, but none were submitted Friday. It was understood bond attorneys for all of the downtown banks still are advising their clients not to buy the bonds. Mayor Fight Reason Previous issues had been refused on the advice that the bonds would be questionable with the signature of Mayor L. Ert Slack because of litigation w'hich clouds his title to the office. Matson, Carter, Ross & McCord, law firm, recently advised‘a bank against purchase of the $60,000 bond issue for widening and resurfacing of N. Meridian St., between Sixteenth St. and Fall Creek. The park board issued these bonds. This law firm represent*, Joseph L. Hogue, Shank administrtaion city controller, in his claim to the mayor’s office. The Hogue case is pending State Supreme Court decision. Hospital Project Delayed Failure of banks to buy bonds seriously is handicaping the administration’s whole program. The city health board will introduce an ordinance Monday night for $60,000 for architect and consultant to make a survey of city hospital building needs. The entire hospital building program will be delayed until the bonds can be sold. Slack recently announced he would offer the bonds for sale when they have been authorized by council, although banks have refused to bid on other issues. Other bond issues which have not been sold: Bridge over Canal at Eleventh St., $10,000; Ellenberger Park pool, $40,000; Pleasant Run Blvd. improvement, $25,000; Calledon Rd. improvement, $4,500, and greenhouse remodeling at Garfield Park. $40,000.

Ind., June 2.—Strawberry growers in this section predict one of the best crops in years, those familiar with the berries say. Unless dry weather stops development the fruit will be more plentiful here than in several years past.

objects occur in the site, and no bones of any domestic animals were found—domestication of animals is a “modern” accomplishment. “We seem to be justified in saying that the site is preNealithic, and is probably as old as the Aurignacian,” Prof. Cole concludes. The skeletons are neither Neanderthal nor Cro-Magnon. One skull, a woman’s shows negroid characteristics, but the others appear to be rather close to the Mediterranean type, though somewhat more primitive. _ __

Fish as Cupid Engagement Ring in Carp Caught at Bass Lake.

KNOX, Ind., June 2.—A com- . mon German carp played the role of Cupid last week at Bass Lake to Miss Anna Nolan, New York, and James E. Sweeney, Chicago. Three years ago, Sweeney and his fiancee, a girl other than Miss Nolan, went fishing in Bass Lake, near here. While out in the boat a quarrel arose ad ended in the girl handing Sweeney his ring, a handsome solitaire. In a fit of pique he hurled the ring into the water. The’ couple never met again. Sweeney was showing Miss Nolan the correct method of using a spear in sticking German carp in the spawning beds. She made an accurate thrust and hooked a fish. Later when in the Bass Lake Park camp preparing the fish for a chowder. Miss Nolan discovered a beautiful platinum ring in the carp she caught. This was identified by Sweeney as the one he hurled into the lake three years ago. That evening Miss Nolan’s parents, who occupy Hill Crest on the lake, announced that Sweeney and their daughter would be the principals in a June wedding.

BAR MUSSOLINI FROMU._S. CLUB Press Organization Scores Duce’s Censorship. BY LEO R. SACK WASHINGTON. June 2.—Because of his activities in suppressing a free press in Italy and censoring foreign correspondence, Benito Mussolini, Italian premier, has been re - fused membership in the National Press Club here. Mussolini was tentatively admitted as a non-resident member last week, pending approval by the membership. He is nominally editor of the official Fascist organ. Possibility of Mussolini becoming a member of the National Press Club was protested by active Washington newspaper men of all shades of political opinion. A committee representing the protesting members told the club governors they objected to Mussolini because, in the light of his complete dictatorship over Italian newspapers and news from Italy, he is today the world’s greatest enemy of a free press. The board of governors then adopted a resolution rescinding its earlier action.

QUIZ UTILITIES ON PROPAGANDA IN COLORADO U. Link Power Interests With Faculty in Fight on Boulder Dam. BY DEXTER M. KEEZER WASHINGTON, June 2—Possible manipulation of the educational resources of the University of ColoradJ in the fight of private power companies against Boulder Dam occupied the center of interest at the Federal Trade power inquiry today. Letters from the files of George V. Lewis, director of the Colorado Committee on Public Utility Information, disclosed that Hubert P. Wolfe, University of Colorado fellow, prepared information to enable Elmore Petersen, head of the university extension division, to “talk intelligently to the Board of Regents” in urging them to appoint a “fact finding” commission on the Boulder Dam project. More than half of Wolfe's salary is paid by the utilities. Asked by Chief Counsel Healy if this commission was not designed to state conclusions adverse to the project, Lewis said that it was not, but that he was anxious to have such a commission appointed to further program of the utilities. Healy said that he presumed that the report of the committee which was recently appointed, largely at the behest of Lewis’ committee, would bring out a report labelled as “A Cold Scientific Study.” Lewis said he could not tell because it has not reported. One of the features of the close working arrnagement between Colorado universities and colleges and the public utility interests brought out was the fact that Wolfe recently requested Lewis’ to speed up work on a correspondence course in public utility valuation to be conducted by the university.
