FORTUNE QUITS MEMORIAL JOB; HITS ATFEUDS Clem Richards of Terre Haute President of Clark Commission. Clem J. Richards of Terre Haute, as the new president of the George Rogers Clark Memorial commission, today took over the difficult task of ironing out personal animosities within the commission which provoked a sharp statement from the retiring president, William Fortune, Indianapolis, at the annual meeting here Monday. Dr. Frank Culbertson and Ewing R. Emison, both of Vincennes, were the commission members whose "aggressive antipathies and prejudices,” according to Fortune’s statement, made his service as president “difficult and harassing.” Charge Credit Misplaced Charges that Culbertson had given chief credit to Democrats for passage of the $1,000,0% appropriation measure in Congress were heard at the meeting Monday. Culbertson, however, denied that at a ‘jollification meeting at Vincennes a (Week ago Sunday, Republicans had not been given their full share. Culbertson referred to a letter he received last week from Senator James E. Watson in which the Senator said he had been informed that Culbertson gave most of the praise for the measure’s success in Congress to Congressman Arthur H Greenwood of the Second district, a Democrat, and to Senator Arthur R. Robinson. Culbertson said he had not ignored Watson’s influence and had given him and Congressman Will Wood, also a Republican, due credit in his remarks. Vincennes Republicans have Informed Watson that his criticism was unfounded, Culberteon said. Emison, Second District Republican chairman, was President Coolidge’s primary campaign manager in 1924. His friends on the commission credited his acquaintance with the President for bringing Coolidge’s attention to the Clark project. Secretary Resigns Culbertson denied there had been bitter animosity between Emison and himself. Fortune’s name was presented for re-election despite his unwillingness to continue as the commission’s president. He received five votes to six for Richards. By the same vote In. James Albert Woodburn, Bloomington, professor emeritus of history in Indiana University, was elected over Frank C. Ball, Muncie to succeed Culbertson as vice president. William H. Book, secretary of the commission since its organization, resigned after Fortune’s displacement. The Federal measure provides for administration of Federal funds by a commission of fifte'en members. The Indiana commission selected: Mrs. Anna Studebaker Carlisle, South Bend; Thomas Taggart, Culbertson, Lew O’Bannon, Corydon; Richard and Lee Burns, Indianapolis, as members of the Federal commission.

FINDS LOOT IN AUTO Grocer’s Stock Is Located in Sedan Parked at Back Door. When George D. Peck went to his grocery at 511 E. Fortieth St., this morning he found much of his stock In a Wiilys-Knight sedan parked at the back door. Burglars, evidently frightened away before they could escape with their loot, had carried cigars, lard, meat and cigarets, valued at SBS, to the car. Police are checking the ownership of the machine. Thieves stole a suitcase and bag containing $lB5 worth of clothing from the machine of H. G. Fisher, Rochester, N. Y., parked at Meridian and George Sts.

STRICKEN SUDDENLY Almost daily we hear of it—the story of some man, probably a friend, suddenly cut off in the midst of his usefulness, in the very prime of life. That’s what high blood pressure and heart trouble will do —snap off life without warning. All idue to our abnormal living habits which put too great a strain upon the vital organs, especially the liver. The liver becoming weak and (sluggish fails to cleanse the blood of the poisons formed in food waste. The whole system then becomes toxic, with stomach, kidneys, heart and blood vessels affected. The liver, especially at middle life, needs a little help, and there’s nothing better for this, as physicians today know, than a little ox gall. Ox gall is a great natural stimulant for the human liver, promoting its normal active functioning, so essential to health and vitality. Dioxol tablets are genuine ox gall in dainty and tasteless form, each tablet representing ten drops of pure ox gall. They cost less than 2c each at good druggists, and ope or two days’ use will prove a revelation. To be sure of getting the genuine ox gall, ask for Dioxol. Efflfii Toct Take this ad to the riwv' IGwl druggist named below and he will give you a free sample of Dioxol tablets. Try them yourself. See the splendid, quick results. One trial of Dioxol and you will want a full package! Social Agent: Haag Drug Cos,
