PRAYERS ASK DRY NOMINEE AT JFfQUSTON -‘Anti-Smith Groups Hold Series of Mass Meetings and Services. SEEK TO BRIDGE RIFT Distinct Signs Evident That Wet Issue Will Not Split Democrats. BY CARL D. GROAT* ■ United Press Staff Correspondent HOUSTON, Texas, June 23.—Prohibition remained today a fighting subject for the Democratic national convention, but with distinct signs that it will not split that gathering wide open. \ Statements of Norman E. Mack end Governor Smith on this delicate question have served to bring the controversy into the open, and anti-Smith dry are promising their campaign against “any and all wets” would be reflected in the balloting on the presidential nomination next week. Prayer meetings are being held by the women drys in their fight against Smith and also against Reed. Monday will be for them a day of prayer. The women, instead of playing "practical politics,” Button-holing delegates and seeking to switch State delegations to avowedly dry candidates, have determined upon a I series of mass meetings and prayer I services in their headquarters and ' churches over the week-end. Pray for Dry Nominee l In these meetings they will pray Pfor a dry candidate. They have not determined whether they will mention Smith and Reed by name, though in theri pronouncements to date such drys as former State Belle Kearney of Mississippi have not hesitated to de-' nounce the two specifically as wets. In some quarters there is a tendency to believe that the women drys lacked organized leadership sufficiently strong to cope with the formidable delegate position of Govi ernor Smith. Governor Dan Moody *of Texas will address them Monday. and he may stir some fresh enthusiasm in their ranks. * It generally is admitted that Norman Mack’s announcement that Governor Smith was opposed to prohibition, followed by Smith’s own reiteration of his previously known position on prohibition, has accentuated the dry-wet situation here. It still can burst out in open session, or it can provoke sharp debate in the resolutions committes Vben the platform is considered. Smith, however, is known to be ready to run on a strong law' enforcement plank, and he reliably is reported to have no intention of trying to force a modification—or light wine and beer—plank upon the convention. Law Enforcement Tlank The signs now point to bridging I The wet-dry troubles amicably so 'far as the convention itself is concerned. Senator George of Georgia has let it be known that his fol-lowei-s intend to support the convention’s choice. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi is known to feel there will be no southern bolt from the nominee. Senator James Reed is here with some fight in him, but it is not believed he is prepared To make any big party split. Smith still has the foremost number of delegates and his friends (continue to predict his nomination bn an early ballot, especially since the platform framers are reported • ready to put in a forceful “law enforcement” plank in the platform. The prohibition situation had a flew intensification from utterances Os another New Yorker, Miss Elizabeth Marbury, veteran Tammany flall worker and Smith supporter. Upon arriving in Texas, she de- ■> blared that “when everybody is in S'* * of prohibition, when we have rmy big enough to guard both coasts, then I’ll, be in favor Hull in Statement “Prohibition just can't be done,” she continued. “The fact that it is introduced in politics is the political Negro in the woodpile. I don’t know what kind of a prohibition plank they will adopt, but I believe it is practical to endeavor to modify the prohibition law and let each State make its own interpretation of the law.” The drys took the fact that she made such remarks, couples with the other statements from the Smith camp this week as proand as tending to support claims that Smith is a “wet." On the other hand, Smith’s friends suggest his own statement is merely ai matter of repetition—and ol (frankness.

‘FETES’ CLOSE BANK

$147,100 Traced to ‘Tame *Parties

BY DAN M. KIDNEY NOBLESVILLE, Ind., June 23.—" Trying to live like a millionaire on a bookkeeper’s salary.” is the explanation given by many residents here of the case of Omar G. Patterson, who committed suicide after confessing to embezzlement of $147,100 from the Citizens State bank, where he had been a trusted employe for twenty-eight years. The bank is closed on order of the State banking commissioner. Patterson, on a salary of SI,BOO a year, managed to spend more than j>8,500 annually, according to figures given in his confession signed before his death at Hamilton County hospital, Friday. He said he had stolen and spent the $147,100 during the last twenty-one years. Yet he\didn’t drink, smoke, swear nor have any amorous laisons. "He spent it on parties,” is the general opinion expressed in the various groups that gathered about the courthouse square to discuss the matter, Friday afternoon.

Investigation discloses, however, that these parties were tame affairs, patterned after the manner of a Sunday School picnic, and never cost more than $2 a plate. The most elaborate consisted of chartering the “Summer Girl,” steam launch of the Riverwood Company, and taking a group of the town’s “best people” for a ride on White River.

a a a a a a CHICKEN dinners were his usua Imode of entertainment. For many years he held them at Horseshoe Lodge. More recently he- chose the Riverwood Case, directly across the river from his somewhat pretentious summer cottage, "Ogee,” in the Riverwood community. Occasionally Pat, as he was known to a great majority of the community, held little intimate parties and chose to dispense money as souvenirs. There was one euchre party at Horseshoe Lodge where each of his five men friends found a $5 bill in a little package before his plate. There are stories of a larger party where men and womn were each presented with gold pieces. Other expenditures were trips to and from Indianapolis, or Indianapolis or Cincinnati in taxicabs; theater parties and dinners at Indianapolis for small groups of Noblesville friends, and money spent on lodge affairs.

He was a member of the Masons, Knights of Pythias, Elks and Red Men. His property holdings consist of two modest town houses, one of w hich is occupied by his 81-year-old father, W. S. Patterson, and a sister, Lillian, and the other by a brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. William Caylor, and some lots. Total of all property, w'hich he

“But he hired an orchestra and all that.” the. proponents of tpe "party” method of dispensing the heavy purloined sums, point out. His orchestras were never Paul Whiteman's band, however, and their cost made but a small sum to be deducted from the thousands he admitted stealing.

WIDEN SEARCH FOR TWO LOST ARCTIC CREWS Nobile. Found Twice by Fliers, Awaits Rescue Expeditions. 16 STILL ARE MISSING Aviator Will Attempt to | Land on Ice Near Camp of Italia Chief. BY ERIC BERNDSEN. United Press Special Correspondent KINGS BAY, June 23.—Sixteen men today were sought in the Arctic ; regions while rescue expeditions rushed aid to six others caught in j the great icebound territory of the j North. Umberto Nobile twice has been j found by rescue parties. Supplies | have been dropped to the point ! where he and his five companions j are encamped. They have been re- | ceived- | But some place in the North are the ten other members of the Italia 1 crew and the six members of Roland Amundsen's relief expedition. Fliers to Make Search Majors Maddalena and Penzo, | Italian war aces, today will start j on relief expeditions in an attempt |to find the sixteen men. Maddalena | was the first man to locate General : Nobile and his little group of five on i the floating ice island. Tlie two Italian fliers will tour ever the south coast of Northeastj land in an attempt to find the missing men-; Meanwhile the Russian ice oreaker, Maligim, has been ordered to I change its course so that her search will be over the south Northeastland coast. It was considered highly probable that Amundsen and his party of northern voyagers might have landed near the Northeastland coast line as they flew north from Tromsoe attempting to find the | Nobile party. Smoke Fuses to Nobile Maddalena and Penzo Friday flew to Nobile’s position and managed to drop ratio batteries and smoke fuses. In all recent messages the Italian commander has said that his radio batteries were low and he has asked that relief be brought for the batteries—the only method he has in keeping in contact with civilization. The smoke fuses will aid greatly in the relief attempt. It is hoped that Nobile will send up the bombs the minute he sights approaching j planes, thus, aiding the attempts to locate the party. j The two Italian fliers reported j they were unable to find a trace of I the seven men, who were blown | away In the dirigible, the three men i who walked away from Nobile’s en- ! campment, or the six men of j Amundsen’s party. Drops Arms to Party The supply ship Citta Di Milano reported that Commander Tomberg, Swedish flier, had flown over the Nobile position and had returned to Virgo Bay to equip his plane with runners and attempt and make a landing on ice near the Nobils encampment for removing the stranded ci ew. probably one man at a time. Tomberg dropped arms, rubber floats and storage batteries to the Nobile party when he flew over. Report Nobile Rescued Rii United Press QUEBEC. Quc., June 23.—An unconfirmed radio report was delivered to the newspaper Le Soieil from a local Marconia station today indicating the crew of the dirigible Italia was aboard a relief ship. The local station, according to Le Soieil, received the message from an unnamed steamship at 3:30 a.m. The newspaper says the station was unable to get further inforrtation.

ißy Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, June 23. —One glance at the market's action is sufficient to convince ever the most confirmed optimist tha' conditions are far from normal Otherwise you would not see sucl an extreme change within less than two Weeks of a drop from over five million shares in a day to less than two and one-half million shares a day. The cause of all this needs no discussion because every one is familiar with it. We went too far. The pendlum was drawn too far to the right and is swinging back to the other extrone, The country, however, is progressing for we see dividends being declared regularly, some new ones have been added tc the list, the railroad outlook has been improved by recent conferences, steel mills are operating at fair capacity, motor companies arc doing a good business, so all we need is the correction in the stock market, and the only way we can get that is for a while to continue to liquidate stocks at favorable opportunities.

POLICE SMASH LAUNCHED ON ‘GAS VULTURES’ Remy Will Demand Long Prison Terms to Check Outrage Wave. TWO GIRLS MISTREATED Series of Brutal Attacks During Week Rouses Law Forces. Limit prison terms under the strongest statutes available will be insisted on in an effort to break up the wave of “gas hawkery” which has resulted in brutal treatment of at least four girls and reports of several attempted attacks this week. Prosecutor William H. Remy declared today. The prosecutor was investigating thoroughly the latest outrage, in which two girls, Friday night, were alleged to have been forced into an | automobile by three men and taken , fifteen miles into the country, at- ! tacked and left to walk home after they escaped. Police hold the three men and I Remy promised that he would ask the grand jury to indict the men under the statute which best would insure that they spend the limit of time behind prison bars. Better in Denunciation “Trips to the penitentiary or rej formatory for a few of them will convince these friends that they’re i got to stop this business of dragging women and children off the streets,” declared Remy. Police, having made prompt capS tures in each of the cases of ! brutality reported within the last few days, marshalled their evidence to turn it over to the grand jury, i “We’ll turn the entire force out if | necessary to catch every one of I these brutes,” declared Police Chief Remy pointed out that he has plenty of law of wide latitude under which to prosecute. Heavy Fine Provided i The statute against criminal attack provides SIOO to $5,000 fine and from flive to twenty-one years for first degree and one to ten years in prison for second degree. If the victim is under 12 years of age, the perpetrator shall be given life imi prisonment. The kidnaping statute, which covers even cases where the victim merely is decoyed away, provides 1 SIOO to $5,000 fine and from two to fourteen years' imprisonment. Features of two recent cases provide possibilities of proceeding under both statutes. Remy planned to make an example out of these two. Thelma Jones and Marie Doyle, both 15, both living at 1805 Olive St., told police they were walking in the 1500 block of English Ave. about 8:30 Friday night when a big car with five men in it stopped along--1 side. Asked to Take Ride Two men got out and disappeared ■ and the other three went to the | girls. “Aren’t you tired of walking?” the girls said one of the men asked. “If we are, we’ll start running a while,” the girls said one of them i replied and they started to go. They i declared the men detained them, i one of them saying: It p .tbd aio uj no/C iaß I takes us all night.” Thelma screamed and one of the men struck her and clapped ■ his hand over her mouth. The girls I say they were hustled into the car, j which was driven out Southeastern Ave. far beyond Five Points. Three Figure in Attack At a lonely spot all three men i figured in the attack, the girls de--1 clare. Finally breaking away, the girls started running. Then men halfheartedly pursued them and they managed to hide in weeds. The men searched a while and then drove away. The girls started walking to town. They had covered about five miles, their clothing disarranged and muddy, when they were picked up by Charles Williams, 25 N. Colorado Ave., who was driving with his family. He took them to police headquarters. The girls described one of the men as having a mutilated nose and a patch on his face. Motorcycle Policemen Timothy McMahon and John O’Brien thought of Harold Walters. 22, of 18871 Shelby St. Police arrested him at his home. The Two Others Arrested Officers also arrested Robert Turner, 22, at the same address. They say these two admitted being in the car and implicated Albert Kennedy, 21, of 1805 Olive St. Police arrested Kennedy at his home. They say he confessed to the whole story, but Walters and Turner admitted only being in the car. The three men are charged with criminal attack and held under SIO,OOO bonds. Claude M. Worley. The other case in which the prosecutor will seek the limit punishment is that of Lewis Goebel, 2727 Stuart St., who is held under $7,000 bonds on charges of kidnaping and impersonating an officer, growing out of the abduction of Miss Nora Lee, 10, of 4115 E. Twenty-First St., from an automobile. Another man is sought in ttrt* am
