HALL CHARGES HUGE FRAUD IN PRIMARY VOTE Recount Bares Corruption in County, Defeated Candidate Asserts. Widespread primary frauds have been proved in the recount of Marion County votes, Archibald M Hall, defeated Republican candidate for nomination for Congressman, charged today. Hall late Monday dropped his suit for a recount. He declared that Prosecntor Wil liam H. Remy has been apprised of all the fraud uncovered. “The recount has not changed materially the official tabulation but it has shown pretty conclusively that the primary is not the positive cure-all for political ills. Fraud Rampant “Fraud and corruptiop still are possible and minority groups and cliques can put over their candidates. Under it every inducement is offered for excessive and illegitimate expenditures,” Hall charged. In his statement, Hall asserted that 3,500 citizens were disfranchised by failure of clerks to sign their initials to tally sheets. There was evidence of much repeating, he also declared, citing that the recount showed the names of eighty-five persons who had not lived in the precinct within the year or who had been dead for some time, listed as voting in the Seventh precinct, Seventh ward. ' Hall Makes Gain With votes in all but five townships outside the city recounted, Hall showed a net gain of 112 votes Congressman Ralph E. Updike was declared nominated by a majority of 1.503 votes on the offcial returns. The recount will continue as to the countty surveyor race, Surveyor Henry Campbell having announced he will fight the nominee, Paul Rcscce Brown, to a finish.

/ Styles in Engagement and Wedding Rings Show Great Changes. “Women are wearing more costume jewelry this year,” says F. W. Fromm of the Baldwin-Miller wholesale jewelers of Indianapolis, attending the Indiana Retail Jewelers’ convention. “Winy?” he asked. “It’s just like a woman.” “The styles in the more expensive jewelry don’t change very rapidly,” says M. O. Schneider of Cincinnati, “but one of the latest innovations is the Baguettes cut diamond. It is wonderful.” A diamond cut in this manner has unusual brilliancy. "Yellow gold was the style in all jewelry, during the war, but after the war we disccverred white gold, and now the platinum has returned,” he said. One of the most startling changes is in the wedding ring and engagement ring. From the oldfashioned wide gold band, the wedding ring has been transformed into a thin circlet of diamond-set platinum and variations of that style. Many women are having their wedding rings of yellow gold faced with platinum fashioned in the 1923 mode. The inside is gold and the outside is platinum. “Most women have a great sentiment attached to the original yellow gold band and wish to retain a portion of the original ring while fellowing the style trend,” said Schneider. Most women are putting their wedding ring on never to remove it. The engagement ring then is under cut to fit on top of the -wedding ring.

PLATFORM TO DODGE POWER TRUSTISSUES Boulder Dam and U. S. Probe Will Be Avoided,/ Says Chairman. BY RUTH FINNEY HOUSTON, Texas, June 26.—The Democratic platform will ignore the hydro-electric power issue almost as completely as did the Republican platform. This was made clear today by Senator Key Pittman of Nevada, ; who is slated to be chairman of the resolutions committee. | In view of Governor Alfred E. 1 Smith’s past record on power it was . thought the platform would make this an issue arid would deal with recent revelations of the Federal Trade Commission about the power lobby, with Boulder Dam and with President Coolidge's veto of Muscle Shoals. Shun Dam and Probe V However, Pittman, with a tentative draft of the platform under his arm, seemed quite certain on the subject. He held conferences Monday with close representatives of Smith, and this indicated the platform was taking definite form, though Pittman would not admit it. He did say definitely that there will be no specific indorsement of Boulder Dam in the platform. “It is too controversial a matter for us to deal with,” said Pittman. It is possible, he added, that some generalized statement concerning the Colorado River will be included. As to the Federal Trade Commission, "it is very doubtful whether the investigation will be mentioned at all.” Dry Fight Looms Leading figures in the private power lobby, as revealed by the trade commission, are here at the convention. They were at Kansas City-also and were successful there except in failing to prevent Senator Robert La Follette, Jr., from reading his platform, with its strong power plank, to the convention. A stronger wet and a stiongei dry plank than have ever oefore been submitted at a Democratic convention will be laid before the resolutions committee for debate, Pittman said. Neither extreme declaration will be adopted, he indicated. Pittman says the platform will undoubtedly contain a strong denunciation of the Naval Oil and Continental Trading Company liberty bond scandals, but he does not believe the leading culprits in these affairs will be mentioned by name.

WARNS AGAINST AL Nomination to Revive Klan, Says Shumaker.^ Prediction that A1 Smith's nomination by the Democrats will give Indiana to Herbert Hoover by a ”00,000 majority and revive the KuKlux Klan in this State was made today by Secretary E. S. Shumaker of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League. Shumaker busied himself Monday with wiring Hoosier delegates at Houston against seeking the vice presidential nomillation on the same ticket with Smith. “Indiana women, who are undeniably dry, will speak their opposition of Smith by votes next fall,” Shumaker said today. He declared he would make no further efforts to stop Woolen on a Smith ticket. CONVICT HIT-RUNNER James E. Ahern Given 30 Days Sentence for Serious Accident. James E. Ahern, 133 W.

By United Press NEW YORK, June 26.—The first clew to the mail robbery on the liner Leviathan turned up today when police linked the theft with a daring murder in the center of New York's business section. Edwin Jerge, who was shot to death at Broadway and ThirtySixth St. on June 10, is believed to have lost his life because he either knew too much or too little about the Leviathan robbery. C. H. Clarahan. chief inspector of the Postoffice Department. w T ho received an anonymous tip concerning Jerge, built up two theories that would connect the shooting with the robbery. “Jerge might have been an accomplice in the robbery,” Clarshan said, “and was murdered because he tried to learn more about it so he could collect his share of the loot. “Or he might have known too much to make his companions feel safe.” The Leviathan Is due to dock here Saturday. Clarahan said he could not taake definite steps until he had taalked with the ship’s officers. He said he would investigate the theory the robbers had a confederate on board when the ship left New York for Southampton. A red sunrise, with clouds lowering later in the morning, indicates rain.

Striking Contrast Shown From Four Years Ago in New York. BY PERCY B. SCOTT United Press Staff Correspondent ALBANY, N. Y„ June 26.—While his friends and campaign managers were struggling In Texas today to bring about his nomination for the presidency on the first ballot of the national Democratic convention, Governor Alfred E. Smith sat in his offices in the Capitol here, appai<(| ently not the least perturbed. Those of his friends who were with him today could not help but recall a day only four years ago, when a similar convention was on in New York City, with the Governcr proclaiming that he certainly would be nominated. The contrast of today and four years ago is striking.. Great Contrast Shown At that time he did not see more than a third of the delegates favoring his nomination, but he was confident that the convention would be swayed to his favor. More than two weeks later, the convention named John W. Davis, and New York Democrats were bitterly disappointed. The Governor may have been, but he did not show it. Four years ago he personally directed most of his campaign either from his suite in the Biltmore Hotel or from a room in the Manhattan club, across the street from the old Madison Square Garden. Today he is not mixing in the situation, letting his friends do the work, and receiving their reports by telephone and telegraph. Report by Special Wire The Governor has a direct source of communication from the convention. A special wire was strung Into the executive offices of the governor by the United Press, by means of which the chief executive is kept posted on all the convention news. It is the first time In the history of the State that a press association wire has been placed directly in the executive officesPLAN STUDY OF MOUNDS Plans for Frank M.

RAISES3SMOO FOR SALARIES Banks Provide Pay for County Employes. County employes will be paid as usual July 1 as a result of a deal today in which County Auditor Harry Dunn sold $350,000 in shortterm bonds to Indianapolis banks. The sale ended a 24-hour period during which it appeared employes would have to go until Aug. 1 without pay, because no bids were received Monday for the sale of the six months bonds. High interest rate of the money market was attributed as the cause of the failure of city firms to bid. Under the new arrangement the Fletcher American National Bank bought $250,000 of the bonds and the Union Trust Company, SIOO,OOO. The purchases were looked on as a great public service by the banks, since the county securities bear only 4 per cent, and the money market at present is much higher. Meeting of the county council to go into the matter, called Monday by Dunn for July 17, will not be held. CONFERS WITH JACKSON James P. Goodrich Silent After Leaving Statchouse. James P.

CITY TO PROBE FRAUD CHARGES ON TRAILER BID Scout Rumor That Board i Was Overcharged on Truck Equipment. The city sanitary board today promised a thorough investigation of a charge by representatives of the Freuhauff Trailer Company of Detroit that the Highway Trailer Company of Edgerton, Wis., had sold the city eight garbage and ash truck trailers last week at a price from S3OO to S4OO higher than offered other Middle Western cities. The board Indicated it did not believe the charge would be substantiated. Earl Cox and Taylor E. Gronninger, attorneys; A. M. Buchanan and Fred Boylan represented the Freuhauff company. The attorney.3 presented a purported copy of a bid for equipment they said was of the same type bought here which thcl Highway company submitted to Cos lumbus, Ohio, Oct. 13, 1927. This bid offered the trailers to Columbus for $1,175. Tire Indianapolis bid last week was $1,670. The Freuhauff company was ona of the unsuccessful bidders here. Cox declared he was interested only in determining whether Indianapolis was being charged more than other cities for the same equipment. Board members said they would write to other cities for specifications and prices offered by the highway company, but they believed tha inquiry would disclose that the requirements here included a number of special devices which made tha job more expensive. They said they awarded the contract to the hf.3irway company because long use of highway equipment here has disclosed its maintenance is low enough to make it cheaper than equipment costing less originally.
