HOOVER BANS FIREWORKS, EXCITEMENT IN CAMPAIGN

BANKS ON IDEA THAT U. S. IS SAFELYG. 0. P. Outline impressive Strategy to Maintain Quietude Before Election. SPEECH WILL BE SHORT Acceptance Address Will Avoid All Possibly Explosive Issues. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent PALO ALTO, Cal., July 24.—A dignified and quiet campaign along the lines of the Coolidge campaign of 1924 is being planned by Herbert Hoover, the Republican presidential nominee, in conferences with advisers at his campus home here. Hoover and his friends believe there is no need for fireworks or excitement. They feel that the most . impressive strategy is to continue the policy of even minded quietude. They bank on the belief that the country is safely Republican. The similar campaign conducted by President Coolidge in 1924 is regarded by students of politics as the most effective and least expensive of modem political history and it fits precisely the personality and purpose of the new Republican leader. Speech Not to Be Explosvie The intention of Hoover will be manifest in his acceptance speech here Aug. 11, the United Tress is informed. The speech, winch will cover a period of but forty minutes, will reveal nothing of a startling political nature and will seize upon no explosive issues, it is learned. Instead it will lay down briefly a generalized program .or efficient administration of government affairs along business lines. The decision for this sort of a campaign is of more political importance than appears on its face, because of the growls from the farm belt for a farm relief campaign, the roar of the dry for a prohibition campaign and the calls from some of the independents for a campaign against the so-called power combine. Senator Hiram Johnson of California, leader of the Senate fight for legislation to construct a high dam at Boulder Canyon in the lower Colorado River, has indicated he will remain footloose from the Hoover strategy. Johnson Supports Hoover After a call on Hoover late Monday, Johnson announced he would support the presidential ticket because he was a Republican candidate for re-election to the Senate and left the implication in the minds of some that this was the most important reason for his decision. He mentioned no others. At the same time, Johnson announced he wduld fight his own battle for re-election here on the “power trust” issue. Johnson made clear, however, that he would make no effort to thrust his attitude upon any one else and predicted Republican success in California. Johnson and Hoover have never been political associates, but they have buried the hatchet for the duration of the campaign, and Johnson’s California regime is swinging enthusiastically in line for the Hoover national ticket.

BUILDING INSPECTOR GOES TO COURT AGAIN Chilcote Appeals to Judge for His City Job. Thomas D. Chilcote, reinstated as city building inspector recently by a Circuit Court order, has appealed again to the court for his job, alleging the board of safety hearing at which he was subsequently discharged was not conducted properly. Chilcote was discharged July 3 upon a hearing called after he was reinstated on order of Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin on the grounds he had not been given a proper hearing the first time he was discharged. The city has appealed this ruling to the Supreme Court, while Chilcote also has another suit pending in lower courts for salary alleged to be due him during one of his “discharged” periods.

RITES ‘GAY’ AT TERRYJFUNERAL Actress’ Ban on Mourning Is Respected. Bu United Press LITTLEHYTHE, England, July 24. —Through an arch of hayrakes, pitchforks and shepherds’ crooks the body of Dame Ellen Terry, last of the group of great Victorian actresses, was taken from the village church today, after a funeral service at which mourners, at Dame Ellen’s request, had worn their gayest clothes. Dame Ellen Terry’s last wish had been for a “gloomless” service. Consequently there was no sign of mourning at the simple service. Women in the congregation wore summer frocks and carried brightlycolored sunshades. Men wore lightcolored summer suits and soft hats. Shirt-sleeved hay workers left the fields nearby and as the body was carried from the church they raised their rakes and forks to make an arched passage. Shepherds, with their crooks, were interspersed among the hay workers. A motor hearse took the body to Golders Green, London, for cremation, and the ashes were sent to St. Paul’s Church, Convent Garden, known as the actors’ church, were they will be on view for public tribute until Wednesday.

ERROR LEADS TO BOND JAM IN DRYCASES Mistake in Filing Nearly Causes Forfeiture in Municipal Court. A city prison turnkey’s error nearly caused bonds of several persons arrested in Monday’s Federal dry raids to be forfeited in municipal court today, when in fact the case* actually were scheduled in Criminal Court. It took Municipal Judge Paul C. Wetter, deputy prosecutors, court attaches and professional bondsmen several minutes to end the confusion which followed failure of the defendants to respond when their names were called. Court attaches said they discovered that Turnkey William Hansford had failed to record that all the cases of those charged with operating blind tigers as the result of the Federal "mop-up” were filed in Criminal Court and consequently several got slated in municipal court in the regular routine. Tangle Is Straightened Wetter finally straightened out the tangle by continuing the cases scheduled before him until prosecutors dismiss them and go ahead in Criminal Court. Nineteen of the seventy-one persons, mostly Negroes, arrested in the raids Monday, are held on liquor sale and nuisance charges and will appear before Criminal Judge James A. Collins Friday. Judge Collins today announced “speedy justice” for those to be arraigned in his court on liquor charges. All prisoners will be brought in Friday and it is expected to dispose of the cases on that date. Criminal Court will be closed for thirty days’ vacation, commencing Monday. Fifteen were released, and thirtythree persons were turned over to police on vagrancy charges for further questioning. Police squads making the raids, under Winkler’s direction, had instructions to bring to Federal dry headquarters all persons found in places raided. Buy Booze in Twenty-eight Places

Buys had been made from one person in each of the twenty-eight places for which search warrants were issued by Federal undercover men. Winkler said additional arrests were to be made on warrants today. Persons held on liquor sale charges include Pete Lukasavich, 991 W. Washington St,, and Vincent Kaniak, 1010 W. Maryland St., and the following Negroes: Minnie White and James Owens, 1803 Martindale Ave.; Leola C. Smith. 2514 Shriver Ave.; Finis Wagner, 1210 E. Fifteenth St.; Prudie Moore, 1674 Northwestern Ave.; Anna May Rickman, 915 E. Twenty-Fourth St.; Eva Mallory, 1130 E.

Hoosier, Young at 74, Uses Cigarets, Whisky Bn United Press EVANSVILLE, Irid., July 23.—Medical men of Evansville are puzzled today over a 74-year-old man, who apparently has mastered the secret of retaining youth. When Frank Scott was taken to a hospital after an accident he gave his age as 74. Increduity was expressed. Physicians subjected him to examinations. His teeth were sound. His eyes did not have the white ng around the pupils which usually is a part of old age. His blood pressure would have done credit to a man of 25. His skin was pliable, no wrinkles. Not a gray strand silhouettes against the coal black of his hair. His surface veins are smooth. And “his is the most remarkable case” his physician ever has heard of. Scott said he was 7 years old when his father joined the Union Army in the Civil War. He detailed the years of. his life, proving his contention regarding his age. “Yes, a little whisky is all right,” in response to that inevitable question to well-preserved persons. “Cigarets? Sure, I’ve smoked them ever since I can remember.” Politics has few lures for Scott. “In all my years I’ve voted for only one man for President,” he said. “That was Bryan, and I m going to vote for Smith. If A1 Smith isn’t elected President, this country’s passing up a mighty good bet.” Meanwhile Scott, who has defied old age, frets on a hospital bed because he’s forced to lie idle while waiting for broken ribs to heal. “I want to get back at my plumbing trade,” he concluded.

BOY DROWNED IN WHITE RIVER Drops 20 Feet Off Diving Board; Unable to Swim. Twelfth drowning of the season occurred here late Monday afternoon. The victim was Edward Ballinger, 16, of 433 E. Washington St. He was drowned in White River, a short distance west of Broad Ripple Park, about 5 p. m., having dropped from a diving board into twenty feet of water. He could not swim.. The youth had gone to the river with Clinton Sargent, 15, of 4591a E. Washington St. Sargent sat on the bbank, not intending to go into the water, and Ballinger donned his bathing suit behind some bushes. The Sargent boy said that Ballinger then walked out on the diving board and let himself down, dangling his feet in the water. Then he let go the board and shouted, “I’m gone!” Thinking that his companion was “just fooling,” Sargent watched the bubbles for a time and when at last the boy did not come up he ran for help. Sargent said he knew Ballinger couldn’t swim. Deputy sheriffs and police came to the rescue, but an hour and a half elapsed before the body was brought to the surface by Francis Hodges, American Red Cross swimming instructor, who dived for it. Artificial respiration proved useless and the body was turned over to Coroner C. H. Keever. At city morgue identification was made by Charles Ballinger, 405 li E. Washington St., the boy’s father. His mother*is Mrs. Frank Gray, Bedford, Ind. A sister, Mary Louise, 14, also survives him. Keever today pointed out the danger of bathing in unsupervised places, and urged all parents to educate their children regarding it. Want to buy a good scale for your store?

Georgia McCollom

The identity of “Georgia McCol--Icm” has baffled police departments of three cities, and local police are broad-.asting descriptions of the woman in an effort to locate relatives or friends. She was arrested in Military Park July 12 in a dazed condition, and authorities later learned she was suffering from amnesia. She told Miss Sarah Rodecker, probation officer, she had come from Chicago on her way to Cincinnati and missed a train at the Union Station. Chicago bank books in the name of “McCcllom” and an address in Cincinnati both failed to establish her identity. About $2,000 in the Chicago banks had been withdrawn several weeks ago, but the woman had only $32 in cash on her person. She w r as taken to the city hospital Monday for treatment, where she will be held until Miss Rodecker finds relatives or friends.

LABOR PLANKS IN PLATFORMS FRETJNDUSTRY Founders’ Head Sees Danger in Party Stands on Injunctions. BY LEO R. SACK WASHINGTON, July 24.—The labor planks in the Democratic and Republican national platforms are unsatisfactory to the National Founders' Association, an organization of large manufacturers. It fears that the winning party may attempt to legislate accordingly and it therefore is advising its members concerning the election of Congressmen and Senators next fall. Doubts G. O. P. Serious The attitude of the organization is disclosed in letters written by President W. H. Barr of Buffalo. The first letter, written June 25, bitterly criticises the labor plank in the Republican platform and the second letter, dated July 10, finds even less comfort in the Democratic platform. The Republican platform says on injunctions: “We believe that injunctions in labor disputes have in some instances been abused and have given rise to a serious question for legislation.” It was the first time the Republicans ever have questioned the right of business to enjoin labor unions and Barr did not believe the party w r as serious. In concluding his letter concerning the Republican platform Bandisputes the Republican contention that that party has made possible national prosperity. Instead, he claims it all has been due to management in industry. After the Democratic convention, Barr wrote his members: “And now we have the Democratic platform which in its labor declaration goes practically the full distance which the American Federation of Labor obviously wants.” Flays Democrat Stand Concerning injunctions, the Dem- ; ocrats said: “Injunctions should not I be granted in labor disputes except i upon proof of threatened irreparable injury, and after notice and hearing; and the injunction should be confined to those which do directly threaten irreparable injury.” After assailing the remainder of the Democratic platform he declared “The platform concurs with militant unionism that injunctions must not be issued until there has been a notice and hearing together with proof of threatened and irreparable injury. By' the time the hearing is ended, the irreparable injury will have been caused, but presumably no one will be too blame.” K. OF C. NAME CRAIG Elected to Succeed Robert L. McKenna as Financial Secretary. Fred Craig. 27 E. New York St, was elected Monday by the local council, Knights of Columbus, to succeed Robert L. McKenna as the council financial secretary. McKenna resigned a week ago. Craig will r*rve until the annual election of officers, Oct. 1.
