PLEDGE OF AID GIVEN HOOVER BYCOOUDGE President Will ‘Do All He Can’ to Bring Victory to Republicans. MAY SPEAK IN EAST Dr. Work Visits Vacation Camp to Present His Resignation. By ROBERT MOOREFIELD United Press Staff Correspondent SUPERIOR, Wis., July 3.—President Coolidge will do “everything he can” toward making Herbert Hoover his successor in the White House. The Republican party had that assurance today from the chief executive after his first major political conference at Cedar Island lodge. Mr. Coolidge’s willingness to participate in the Hoover-Curtis campaign was expressed to Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Republican national committee, who will direct the campaign. Dr. Work, who submitted his resignation as secretary of the interior yesterday, said before leaving here lat night that the President would make his own choice as to the manner in which he will assist tne party. That phase of the subject was not discussed in detail, Dr. Work said. May Speak in East Plans were made recently, it was understood, to ask Mr. Coolidge to speak in behalf of the ticket in Eastern States, but Dr. Work said the President had not given definite consent. The retiring cabinet member said he would confer with Republican leaders in Chicago today on arrangements for establishing the western campaign headquarters there, and then will leave for Washington. Mr. Coolidge, meanwhile, is withholding acceptance of Work's resignation. Presumably until his successor is named. Diecussing the coming campaign, the 'national committee chairman said the Republican procedure would be “quite, dignified, constructive and educational.” Active campaigning, he asserted, would get under way not later than Sept. 1, with Secretary Hoover, the nominee, confining his speeches to the radio. Wants Good as Manager Dr. Work made no recommendation to the President on the new secretary of Interior, but requested that he be relieved of the post as soon as possible, that he may devote his full time to the campaign. Just now he is trying to persuade James W. Good of Chicago, Hoover’s pre-convention manager, to take charge of the western headquarters. Good has withheld his consent because he fears the duties would make too great a demand on his time. Dr. Work has given no thought, he said, to selection of the eastern manager. Hoover Stays at Desk Bu United Press WASHINGTON. July 3.—Herbert C. Hoover, Republican presidential nominee, canceled all political engagements today to work on Commerce Department business. The annual budget of the department must be submitted to the budget bureau this week and Hoover personally is checking estimated expenditures for his department for the fiscal year 1929. While Hoover plans to resign his Cabinet post within a few weeks, he desires to have his desk in perfect order before submitting his resignation to President Coolidge. STATE MOTHER FTgHTS FIVE YEARS FOR CHILD Oral Argument is Heard Before State Supreme Court. A phase of a mother's five-year battle to regain possession of her child was fought before Supreme Court judges today. Oral argument upon Mrs. Lorraine E. Weber's petition for a writ of habeas corpus for possession of her son, Robert Redding, 9, from her divorced husband, Harry E. Redding of Bluff ton, was heard. Redding obtained a divorce and custody of the child in 1923. He gave the child to relatives to rear and when his wife learned of this she filed the habeas corpus petition in Wells Circuit Court. The decision was adverse and she appealed in April, 1925, to the Supreme Court. Albert E. Stump, Democratic candidate for Senator, is attorney foi the mother. CHIEF WARNS fTrEMEN Forbids Men to Repeat Gossip of Pay for Positions. Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell today warned firemen against repeating gossip about the fire department. “There has been considerable talk that it takes a certain amount of money to get in the department. Such talk hinders the efficiency of the force. Firemen will be suspended in such cases,” Voshell ordered. A fireman was tried for such talk last week.

A New Star Shines Out of Europe on Movieland

Eva von Berne ... a European discovery who never has acted. BY GENE COIIN NEW YORK, July 3.—No self-respecting film potentate would think of returning from Europe minus a “discovery.” So when Irving Thalberg, Metro-Goldwyn executive, went honeymooning with his bride, Norma Shearer, he came back with one Eva von Berne, who, they boast, is the one “discovery” to be brought to American soil “who has neither stage nor screen experience.” She was taken “from the lap of her family—a mere child of 17,” and headed for stardom. A charming youngster, she could rpeak but two English words—one was “whoopee” and the other “O. K.” Both, she had learned on the boat,. Her father was a colonel in the AUstrain army. After the war, her family was impoverished and, having a gift for dancing, Eva went forth to earn her living as a dancing teacher. . While giving recitals, her photograph found its way to the Sunday supplements. There it was noticed by the honeymooning who tracked her down and arranged a screen test. Ajjd so she came to America to rival Greta Garbo.

MINE UNION EXECUTIVES CALLED FOR PARLEY AS NEW SPLIT THREATENS

Situation to Be Reviewed, Says Lewis; Illinois Break Reported. A call for a meeting in Indianapolis next Tuesday of the international executive board of the United Mine Workers of America was sent out today by John L. Lewis, president. The policy committee also was called for a session here the following day About fifty officials of the Mine Workers are expected to respond. “Both” meetings were called to review the strike situation in various bituminous coal fields,” said a statement at miners’ headquarters. The announcement made no mention of a demand by southern Illinois miners for permission to withdraw from the restrictions of the international policy committee, made last week. It was believed their primary object was to obtain release from the present wage restrictions i of the international body, which demands that miners must receive a base pay of $7.50 a day. “Proposed Federal legislation dealing with the bituminous coal industry also will be considered, said the statement. Lewis and other mine officials were active during the last congress in mine legislation measures. Lewis also attended the conference between mine worker sand operators at Washington called by Secretary of Labor James J. Davis. The policy committee is composed of representatives from each district organization of the U. M. W. A. in the United States and Canada, members- of the interna-

BOY’S FAITH SHATTERED WHEN ROZELLE’S ‘GREAT OPPORTUNITY’ PROVES MYTH

“TXALE lost much more than his $6. The money could be earned again. But he lost confidence in honesty, confidence in himself, and something of his ambition. He lost the eagerness to try.” It is Mrs. Robert Bray speaKing. Her son, Dale, a boy of 16, was one of the many thousands who sent $6 to the Omaha Tapestry Company of La Grange, in response to the advertisement of rich rewards for painting pillow tops by those who needed no experience.

It shows merit. Dale, himself, had dreams of being an artist—until he read the advertisement of Rozelle. “He was so eager to earn money and there were no jobs here,” said Mrs. Bray, the mother. “When he saw this advertisement, offering good wages for work which required no experience, he took what little money he had saved and sent it.

DISMISS POOL CASE Possession of Tickets Not Crime, Says Judge. Mere possession of baseball pool tickets is not a violation of the law, and unless slot machines vend slugs good for money or trade they are not illegal. Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron held today. He discharged Simpson Hawkins, 350 E. Washington St., and Christ Pappas, 345 E. Washington St., on charges of keeping gaming devices, and John Smymis, 455 E. Washington St., on keeping gaming device and pool selling charges. Hawkins and Pappas had slot machines in their places of business, but police had noi seen the machines in use. Pool tickets were found in Smymis’ poolroom, but police had no evidence of a sale. DROP LIQUOR CHARGE Two Freed in Connection With Skeen Case.

He talked of making a career of art, and these pillow tops are good, or as good as could be produced with this material.” tt a a ON that point the judgment of the mother was most correct. If any such pillow tops could be sold, these should have demanded a premium. “And then,” continued the mother, "the tops were sent back. We had to pay return postage on them.

Carl Wilson Too Hasty With Gun, Decision of Investigators. Holding that he was too hasty in the use of his revolver, the board of safety today discharged Patrolman Carl Wilson from the police force. A bullet from Wilson’s gun killed Paul Connor, 18, of 549 Gooalet Ave., as he fled from the officer in the 300 block of Toledo St., the night of May 24. Wilson violated the rule that police shall fire only in pursuit of a known felon or to protect their lives or those of others. Wilson's defense was that he "thought the boy was trying to escape because he had done something wrong.” Youth Fails to Hall The evidence showed that the boy and several others had driven to Toledo St. and were waiting for one of their number to come from a house, when Wilson and another policeman approached. Connor became frightened, ran, and failed to heed Wilson’s command to halt. Wilson fired once in in > air. i -on said the boy hesitated and v.’ 4 move with his hand toward i. > hip and then ran on.

FIVE KILLED BY VIOLENTSTOH Northwest Is Ravaged by Hail, Rain and Wind. Bn United Press ST. PAUL, Minn., July 3.—Hail, wind, and rain storms over Minnesota, Wisconsin and North and South Dakota during the last two days left property damage amounting to more than $2,000,000 reports indicated today. Five persons were known to have been killed and a score or more were injured. Communication still was disrupted to parts of the States and the complete toll probably will not be known for several days. The known dead are: Lewis Kaus, 17, struck by lightning near Fergus Falls, Minn. Joe Heinze, killed in collapse of barn near Alice, N. D. Durand Thebe, struck by lightning near Hecia, N. D. Grace Halliday, 27, killed near Aberdeen, S. D„ when a motor car in which she was riding struck a washed-out section in the highway. Mrs. Herman B.

E.ghty Illinois Central Railroad Company employes today petitioned for repeal of the daylight-saving ordinance, in a communication to The Indianapolis Times. The petition was referred to Council President Edward B. Raub. The petition declared “the laboring class of citizens of Indianapolis are in no way benefited by moving their clocks ahead. “Since this ordinance is causing much confusion owing to the fact that it is necessary to have two times and at least 90 per cent of the citizens are being greatly inconvenienced and confused by this ordinance and are deprived of an hour’s rest by this change your cooperation in abolishing this ordinance is asked,” the petition stated. The petition states that “Standard time has always been satisfactory and should not be tampered with.” GASOLINE TAXES ~G AIN Report for First Six Months Made by Inspector.

The Bray family is typically American. The father is employed on a railway. Os the five boys, three are musicians. One boy is an expert in making ship models. All show the ingenuity and initiative which arc American. Typically American, too, was their acceptance of the fact that they had been, as the father says, “hooked for $6.” The assertion by Hicks that political influence is protecting Rozelle, who was chairman of the speakers’ bureau in 1926, when his enighbor, Clyde Walb, was chairman, has not been answered.

JAMMED ICE SLOCKS ITALIA RESCUE SHIP Russian Vessel Can't Reach Camp at Least for Several Days. FOG HOLDS UP PLANES No Word From Russian Flier Since His Start on Hunt for Missing Men. (Copyright, 1928. by United Press) VIRGO BAY. Spitzbergen, July 3.—The Russian icebreaker Krassin, breaking a path through the jammed ice, can not reach the six marooned men at the Italia ice camp for several days, her commander radioed today. Now beyond Soresby Island, off Cape Leigh Smith. Northeastland, the Krassin has encountered pack ice which is blocking her progress. She is attempting to reach open water near the coast, where she would be compelled to steam slowly on account of the numerous reefs. Charts marking these reefs are faulty. A heavy fog hung over the Arctic today, making airplane search for twenty-four men trapped j within the ice-bound wastes, almost i impossible. Russian Flier Missing There was no word of Babushkin, the Russian flier who started Friday ! u'Lh two companions to search for the men. There is no word of Roland Amundsen and the five members of the Latham seaplane crew. Reports in London that his body had been found officially were denied. There is no word of three men who started walking from the Nobile ! crew towards safety. Three dog teams are search.ng i for them and one seaplane Monday 1 got into contact .with one of the dog J teams, but apparently learned nothing of the fate of the three men. There is no word of the fate of six men who floated away with the en- : velope of the polar dirigible Italia. The envelope was last seen, a pillar of smoke floating from it, heading into the east from the point where General Nobile and his men landed. Three New Relief Parties Three new relief expeditions were promised today from three nations. Norway asked Great Britain for two moth planes that might be used in ! ice landings. Britain agreed. Germany offered a two-seater plane equipped with skiis which will be flown by the prominent German aviator Udet. The seventh Swedish j expedition was expected to start i into the north immediately. The supply ship Citta Di Milano advised she again ha<J been in communication with the group headed by Lieutenant Viglieri, on th; ice floe and that there was a, more hopeful tone to the messages that came out of the northland. The message from the marooned men indicated that the summer season had set in on the ice island and that the ice had become somewhat mushy for the swift heavy planes to light successfully on the ice. Fail to Land at Camp Meanwhile the ship advised that Swedish hydroplanes had circled in an attempt to land at the camp but had been unsuccessful owing to the fog. The steamer Braganza, operating off Northeastland, but which had been impeded by breaking ice, has returned here with Capt. H. RiiserLarsen and Lieut. Luetzow-Holm aboard. The two fliers will transfer to the I steamer Hobby to cooperate with that vessel in the search for Amundsen. The Braganza will proceed to Kings Bay to get supplies and to repair one engine.
