Clothes Make--? Bu United Press WASHINGTON. June 15. Herbert Hoover braved the wrath of the well-dressed man on his first day as Republican presidential nominee. Hoover appeared in white shoes with a dark suit and a gray felt hat. The well-dressed man wears white shoes with straw hats and light summer clothes. Nearly all of Hoover's suits have double-breasted coats, his suit Friday was a gray one, but he usually wears blue.

CURTIS GREETED IN HOME TOWN Topeka Parades, Cheers for Hoover Mate. Bu United Press , TOPEKA, Kas., June 16.—An oldfashioned celebration welcomed Senator Charles Curtis. Republican vice presidential nominee, back to his home town. When the news of Curtis’ nomination at the Republican national convention at Kansas City reached Topeka, citizens turned out and hastily decorated the streets. Flags and bunting sprung up everywhere and in the space of a few minutes the town took on a carnival atmosphere. A speakers’ stand was erected on the steps of the Statehouse and two bands were mobilized. Senator Curtis, who came by automobile to his home with his son and Mayor W. O. Rigby, lead the parade from the Curtis home to the Statehouse grounds. % Thousands joined in the march and cheered for their native son. After brief addresses by Governor Ben S. Paulen *&nd other State officials, Senator Curtis was called upon to address his home town friends. "When I left Washington I thought I would bring the presidential nomination to my native city,” the Senator said. "I am sorry I did not do it. We believe in the rule of the majority and I am proud to be associated with that statesman and builder, Herbert Hoover.” WEfTwIOTPOLL Delaware Voters Urge Change in Dry Laws. Bu United Press WASHINGTON. June 16.—Results of a bank vaulted prohibition poll of 100,000 Delaware citizens, counted by certified accountants supervised by dry leaders, were announced here today by the Association against the Prohibition Amendment, showing that 87 per cent of the 37,951 votes who replied urged a change in the dry laws. Pierre S. Du Pont, of the noted explosive and automobile manufacturing company, sent out the questionnaires, containing six questions, last April, and the overwhelming anti-prohibition sentiment expressed, he said today, “means general dissatisfaction with the laws as now worded and enforced.” Du Pont said the replies confirmed his opinion that the Eighteenth Amendment should be repealed.

VILLAGE DONS HOLIDAY DRESS FOR COOLIDGE % Brule’s 302 Residents Get Thrill as President Motors Through. BY ROBERT MOOREFIELD United Pr* Staff Correix>ndnt BRULE, Wis., June 16.—The President has come to Brule. To the rest of the United States that may not carry an unusual significance, but to the 303 residents of Brule the day of Mr. Coolidge’s arrival was something of infinitely more importance than the Fourth of July, Washington’s birthday or the weekly band concert night. Less than a month ago Brule was unknown. Today a million persons were debating its proper pronunciation, (it is pronounced as though rhymed with school). Its real estate boom, which sent rentals rocketing 700 per lent, shames the boom that made Florida famous, and fathers are telling their sons to tell their sons that on such-and-such a day President Coolidge came to Brule, the town nearest the summer White House of 1928. Villagers Thrilled The few residents of Brule are not concerned with the fact that Mr. Coolidge spent less than two minutes in the hamlet's unincorporated limits! that he did not leave the motor car which crawled along its main street at a snail’s pace, and that Mrs. Coolidge did not come to Brule at all. It is enough that the President came to Brule, and thus Brule Is satisfied. The 302 residents turned out in full force. Babies stood with their hands in their mouths, their fathers stood with their hands in their pockets, and Brule’s younger feminine set quarreled as to the exact shade of the President’s hair. Anyway, Brule waved its hand at President Coolidge, and then began touching up main street and erecting more concession stands across from the railroad shed. leaky Church Repaired Allen T. Colder, who saw that the leaky roof of the church was reshingled, paced in front of Webster’s Hotel with the beatific solemnity of one whose work is well done. Henry Denny, restauateur, stacked up three dozen thick coffe cups and waited for patrons. Mrs. A. J. Webster speculated on possible rentals in her spacious 10-room house. The fact that President and Mrs. Coolidge were some six miles away at Cedar Island Lodge, resting from the fatiguing train journey from Washington, and that Mr. Coolidge already was casting his line into the Blue River, caused hardly a flutter. The fact that the President would pass along Main street again today en route to his erecutive offices at Superior, however, did cause a flutter. Crowds began to collect about the three town pumps, talking excitedly. Presidents do not parade along the main street of Brule every day. Meanwhile, at Cedar Island Lodge, Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge were getting settled comfortably in their woodland home. The President was well pleased with the peaceful one-story house, cool and fragrant with lilacs.

instructing a 17-year-old boy crashed. The youth was injured slightly. Anderson, a pioneer flier in Richmond, operated a flying field there with Milton (Red) Hershberger, his buddy, whose new Waco plane was stolen two weeks after that of Anderson, under similar circumstances. Hershberger’s plane never was traced. The two aviators barnstormed the State, hauling passengers in their planes before they were stolen. Anderson was an accomplished musician and once had a dance orchestra. Mrs. Anderson is a talented pianist and conducts classes in Richmond. Hershberger recently took the position as instructor at Sandusky field held by Anderson at hts death.

of this fortune was for sewing up a large hole in my pocket to harbor the newly acquired wealth. My most recent association with as much currency, was shortly before the last appearance of’Halley’s comet. After the nomination of Hoover there were many impromptu celebrations given in the various rooms of the Muehlebach Hotel. I began joining the festivities, starting at the eleventh floor, and Friday morning, egad, I awoke in the laundry room down in the basement. A most perplexing phenomena, indeed.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1928

Takes Off From Oslo Today; s Two Relief Parties Now in Region. Bu United Press OSLO, Norway, June 16.—Roald Amundsen, arctic explorer, told the United Press today he and Lieutenant Dietrichson, Swedisly aviator will start an immediate search for General Umberto Nobile and the crew of the Italia. Amundsen said he and Lieutenant Dietrichson would leave for Bergen Saturday, from where they will take off Sunday in a French plane for Spitzbergen. A landing will be made at Tromsoe for refuelling, Amundsen said he planned to stay at Spitzbergen while Dietrichson conducted the search lor Nobile. The plane is equipped with two rubber boats, considered most essential In rescuing the Italian filer. The steamer Braganza, chartered by the Italian government, arrived today at Brandy Bay and immediately put out a landing party that consisted of a dog crew with relief for the men who have been isolated in these polar wastes since May 25. Two Crews Seek Nobile The Braganza crew expected to meet a relief expedition from the Norwegian steamship Hobby someplace on the territory surrounding Brandy Bay. The two crews, both hoping to reach General Nobile and the five men remaining in his Immediate party, cut across the ice-bound wastes • searching for any members of the dirigible that just a few weeks ago swept across the North Pole and then started down on an adventurous return flight to Kings Bay. The dirigible was cracked up when it sank suddenly just off Northeastland and dropped on an ice island. One gondola was smashed. Nobile and eight of his companions were freed, even though the Italian explorer and two of his aides were injured. Three members of the crew started on an expedition to North Cape, attempting to find land so they might return aid to the other members of their party. Storms Are Breaking Late advices, unconfirmed and received from huntsmen who boarded the steamer Braganza, said these three men had been picked up. This story said they had been taken aboard the Hobby. Meanwhile, reports reached Kings Bay that difficult storms were breaking over Northeastland. The six men remaining on this ice block are huddled about a silken tent, painted red to attract any aviators who might pass by, and are fighting the rigors of cold winds and sub zero temperatures. The plight of the stranded erdw easily is discerned through Nobile's late messages, which asked for food, arms and ammunition. The five men with the Italian explorer are suffering from severely cold-bitten hands and from a lack of food, which only Is alternated through a careful rationing of the compressed food the party now has. Ice Driven Eastward Stiff wind is breaking off the island where the six men are waiting as the ice block on which they ride steadily is being driven eastward. Nobile reported in late advices that his injuries were improving rapidly as were the injuries of the other members of his party. The Italian commander said ice was splitting a large expanse of water near where his ice island was riding. While this might cause a favorable starting for seaplanes, Nobile advised that if it became too serious it might result in his moving his encampment. ACTION ON HOSPITAL EXPECTED MONDAY City Health Board May Appoint Architect and Engineer. Mayor L. Ert Slack and board of health members today declined to discuss the closed-door conference Friday afternoon on the city hospital building program. Slack said general plans wpre discussed. The health board probably will take definite steps toward carrying out the council ordinance authorizing selection of an architect, engineer and consultant Monday night. Word has been passed out that Slack is not attempting to dictate the selection of the hospital experts but advised the board to select high-class men.

T?R, ah, not meaning to change the subject, y-know, but I have compiled an interesting bit of statistics. During the Hoover demonstration in convention hall, Chairman Moses in his vain attempt to restore order, rapped the gavel enough times to equal the efforts of four carpenters in building a six-room house. I know this to be a fact, being a carpenter on my mother’s side of the family. She was Maria Carpenter of Devonshire. Never before in my eventful life

TREASURER TO GET PROFITS DESPJTEEDICT Clyde Robinson to Make Collections Himself for Big Fee. DODGES NEW RULING Decides He’ll Not Choose Aid for Delinquent Accounts. County Treasurer Clyde E. Robinson has found a way to get back at least some of the thousands of dollars of personal profit lost when the Legislature stopped county treasurers from pocketing interest from Barrett law fund deposits, it was learned today. Robinson announced that he wiil handle delinquent tax collection himself this year, rather than share the profit by appointing a collector Ordinarily the fees from back tax collection amounts to about $40,000 a year. The delinquent tax collector, by law, gets on a contract a percentage of the amount collected for fees and mileage. Law Aids County The 1927 Legislature spoiled the Barrett law plum for- the Marion County treasurer. For a score of years the county treasurers had kept all the interest collected on Barrett law deposits. Sometimes this amounted to more than SIOO.000 a year. The last General Assembly legislated this interest into the public treasury. The law provides that $1.50 per delinquent taxpayer may be collected, plus 10 cents a mile mileage fee. Contracts with collectors in the past, have divided this profit, the collector defraying expenses of collection. Estimates Gain at $20,000 Estimates of costs of collections vary, Robinson claiming it will cut the $40,000 by almost half. The $20,000 remaining will be in addition to his salary for 1928. J. D. Henderson who held the contract In 1927 is working under Robinson In preparing for the collections, on a salary basis, as are other extra employes. WEBSTER TO TRIAL Coffin Aid Is Special Judge to Hear Case. Irving Webster, editor of the Indiana Journal, a weekly political publication, this morning awaited trial in Municipal Court on charges of failure to stop after an accident. Special Judge Thomas C. Whallon, Republican chairman of the Sixth ward, was to try the case. Webster haw been a defender of George V. Coffin, Republican County chairman, under whom Whallon serves as ward chairman.

Deputy Prosecutor William E. Miller attempted to have the case dismissed or continued but Judge Whallon refused. Then Miller obtained a delay until this morning so the State could get its witnesses into court. FLEE FLOOD PERIL Arkansas Levee Break Puts 4 Towns in Danger.

Wilmer Stultz and Lou Gordon, still were held on land today by weather conditions adverse to trans-Atlantic flying, which they will attempt in their plane Friendship. The trio has been here nearly three weeks, waiting patiently for clearing weather, which will be their signal for a take-off. At dawn oday there was no appreciable change in conditions. A flight probably will be made today, not only for atmospheric test purposes, but otherwise to try out the functioning of their tri-motored plane. Indications were that an Immediate change of weather was unlikely. 801 l Flight to France Bn United Press HARBOUR GRACE, N. F.. June 16.—The flight of the trans-Atlantic airplane Columbia, in which Miss Mabel 801 l will be a passenger, probably will be to France, it was indicated today. Weather conditions today were unfavorable for the trans-Atlantic take-off, but all members of the Columbia’s crew felt certain they soon would be away oif the flight. Miss 801 l particularly was one of the most eager of her flight party. “I entertain no doubt that I will be the first woman to cross the Atlantic by airplane, but in no sense do I regard this as competition with the Friendship,” Miss 801 l said. Capt. Oliver C. Leboutillieer said he had the greatest sympathy with the Friendship, inasmuch as it had a speed of only about 90 miles an hour, whereas the Columbia can travel about 110 miles an hour.

HOOVER PUTS HIS OLD JOB IN ORDER TO QUIT Plans to Work 10 Hours at Commerce Office Desk _ Today. DRAFT PLANS MONDAY Party Leaders Will Confer With G. 0. P. Nominee on Campaign Plans, BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. June 16—Herbert Hoover will hold the first of a series of conferences with political leaders Monday to discuss campaign plans for the presidential fight. . James W. Good, Hoover's campaign manager, will arrive here Sunday to report* personally on the Kansas City convention, but the Quaker Hoover will not talk business or hold a political conference on the Sabbath. Others scheduled to confer with Hoover include Secretary of Interior Work. Secretary of Treasury Mellon, Secretary of Agriculture Jardinc and Edgart Richard, New York, former director of the commission for relief in Belgium. Ten Hours In Office Hoover plans to spend ten hours in his office today despite the fact the Government departments close at 1 p. m. The Secretary of Commerce is anxious to get his desk in order so that the affairs of his department will be in shape to turn over to a successor when he resigns for the campaign. Hoover will not resign for two weeks or more, however, those close to him said. He plans to carry on with his cabinet post until definite plans have been made for the campaign. These plans will be drafted late next week after the conferences with Republican party leaders. Sunday, the Hoovers will go to church at the Friends Meeting House, located on I St. between Eighteenth and Nineteenth Sts. They will be accompanied to the Meeting House by their son, Herbert Hoover, Jr., his wife, and several personal friends. Telegrams of congratulations continued to pour into Hoover today. The volume of .messages Is so great that Hoover has been unable to read them all and Herbert Hoover, Jr., has been given the task of picking out the messages chat would most interest his father. Recovers From Emotion Hoover has recovered from the momentary nervousness and emotion he showed when he learned of his nomination. Retaining the poet he has acquired from being so often in the public eye, he has settled down to his work, merely answering smiles and cheers of commerce employes and others whom he meets on the streets with a nod and a wave of the hand. Late Friday he received his first intensive practice in hand shaking, receiving about fifty bureau chiefs of his department on the roof of the eleven-story Commerce Bldg. He went home with the intention of retiring early, to make up the sleep he lost the night before when he listened in by radio to hear himself nominated. His usual bedtime is 10 p. m.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson it McKinnon) NEW YORK, June 16.—Looking back over the happenings of the week we find that the political situation has partially cleared itself by the conclusion cf one convention. In business, the oil. copper, railroad and export Industries should continue improvement while in steel, motor and employment seasonal slackening is not as severe as usual. Generally, it can be said that business is good because it is built on a solid foundation. In the market there is evidence that the effect brought about by excessive speculation requires further adjustment. This will bo brought about by y offerings of stock in volume on strength and until there is an improvement in tho money market.
