COOLIDGE WILL MAKE VISIT TO YELLOWSTONE Last Brule River Cast Will Be Made Early Next Month. BY ROBERT MOOREFIELD United Frees Staff Correspondent CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, Wis., July 26—President Coolidge will make his last cast in the Brule River fishing grounds early next month at which time he plans to leave here for Yellowstone National Park. The chief executive is completing arrangements to leave his summer home between Aug. 10 and 15, it was said Wednesday, partly on the advice of his personal physician, Col. James F. Coupal. The physician believes the cool, high altitudes of the Yellowstone will give Mr. Coolidge relief from rose fever, which has caused him discomfort. It has not been decided whether the presidential party will remain at the National Park or return to Wisconsin later. The President repeatedly has expressed concern over the condition of Mrs. Lemira Goodhue, Mrs. Coolidge s mother, who is ill at Northampton, Mass., and should a crisis develop, the Yellowstone plan might be cancelled. A visit to New England is considered likely before Mr. Coolidge’s return to Washington late in September. If the President and Mrs. Coolidge go to Northampton they possibly may include Plymouth, Vt., Mr. Coolidgess boyhood home, in their itinerary. BOMBS WRECK TWO SHOPS IN CHICAGO One Man Shot in Overnight Gang War Toll. EH United Press CHICAGO, July 26.—Labor trouble in Chicago resulted in two bombings and one shooting and the gang war was credited with another shooting Wednesday night. The Drug Corporation Photo Service Company was slightly damaged by a black powder bomb placed at its door. A barber shop owned by John Criscione on the west side was' demolished by a dynamite bomb. Both were said to have resulted from labor trouble, although police also advanced the theory that the attack at Criscione might have been by blackhanders. Alvatoro Cannalle, a member of the Aiello gang, was wounded by shotgun slugs as he was putting up his automobile. Walter Powers, west side caterer, was shot three times as he stood in front of his hotel. Powers has been having labor trouble recently.

They have discovered that people are marrying less throughout the country, and that the official records for 1927 show a decrease for the ninety departments of 1,576 marriages. True, the birthrate increased slightly, but it is explained that this has been ('ue to an increase in the proportion of illegitimate children. The blame for the new situation is placed upon the fact that while the United States, England and Germany have greatly increased the construction of dwellings, in France this has bene retarded by the necessity of restoring the devastated regions.

FARMERS STORE WHE£ CROP Reluctant to Sell at Existing Prices. By United Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 26.—A reluctance to sell wheat at the existing prices because of a belief that value will rise later on is indicated by the huge quantities of grain which are being stored in Kansas City elevators and terminal bins. Replies to inquiries indicate a few growers are storing wheat on their farms, but the bulk of the grain being held back is stored in elevators. -Board of Trade officials here said one reason for the growers’ decision to hold his grain is the public warehouse law, which permits a farmer to store his wheat for 1 cent a bushel a month, plus handling charges and insurance costs. It is estimated more than one million of the six and a hal fmillion bushels of wheat in Kansas City elevators has been stored by wheat growers of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Nebraska. Farmers appear convinced prices will soar. CELEBRATE SEA FIGHT Canary Islanders Observe 1797 Victory Over England. By United Press SANTA CRUZ, Canary Islands, July 26.—01d Spain lived again in Santa Cruz yesterday. The memory of the fighting seamen of the eighteenth century was honored in the town’s greatest annual “fiesta.” The celebration has been held on July 25 every year since 1797, when the Spaniards gained their great naval victory over Admiral Nelson in Santa Cruz harbor. The Santa Cruz fiesta is rigidly observed in the Canary Islands. The streets of the town were gaily decorated, and natives from all parts of the islands joined Santa Cruz in the celebration. The program concluded with a huge “baile,” or dance, at night.

Mexican Venders Taking Over Hull House Section

Influx of Latin Americans Crowds Greeks, Italians From Settlement. BY DEXTER M. KEEZER CHICAGO, July 2C.—Hull House, Jane Adams’ famous South Chicago settlement, is rapidly becoming the center of a predominantly Mexican community, workers at the settlement said today. Everywhere around the settlement, located near the center of Chicago’s most cosmopolitan district, there are evidences of a rapid influx of Mexicans. Along S. Halstead St. phonographs with loud speakers which a year ago were beckoning customers with strains of Italian and t Greek airs now send forth the dulcet melodies of Mexico. The rapid migration of Mexicans into the Hull House neighborhood is bringing with it a commercial revolution disastrous to the Greeks, who have done most of the merchandising heretofore, and favorable to Italians and newly arrived Mexican merchants. A Mexican and an Italian, each conversing in his native tongue, can conduct a business conversation. But when Greeks and Italians set forth their views in their

STARTS 4TH YEAR IN JAIL; REFUSES ALIMONY ‘Will Rot First,’ Says Ex-Husband; Lives in Comfort. By United Press WILLOWS, Cal., July 26.—Persistency is not to least of the virtues of Sam Reid, who has started his fourth year in the Glenn County jail for refusing to pay alimony to his divorced wife. Reid has his cell furnished in the manner to which he is accustomed. Rugs, radios, books, magazines and daily newspapers are found in his home-like cell. “Os course I’d like to get out,” Reid says, ‘but I’ll stay here until I rot before I’ll pay S2O a month vo my divorced wife—who has remarried her ex-husband—and S2O for the support of my child. “I promised the judge who sent me here that I’d pay S9O a month for my baby’s support if she were placed in a Christian home, but he wouldn’t accept the arrangement, so I guess I’ll stay here a good many more years in contempt of court.” KRASSIN AIDS SHIF Liner Hits Iceberg, Rescue Vessel Stands By. Bn United Press HAMBURG, July 26.—The Russian ice breaker Krassin today was standing by the Hamburg-South American liner Monte Cervantes at Bell Bay off Spitzbergen after the latter craft had struck an iceberg while en route to Spitzbergen. The German liner has 1,500 passengers aboard, but its damage is said not to be serious. Advices to the steamship company here said that while cruising towards Spitzbergen the Monte Cervantes had struck one of the floating ice bergs that abound in the northern waters. She sprung a leak and immediately sent out an SOS. The Krassin, which was reported in the vicinity of Kings Bay after rescuing sixteen men from the Arctic area since the dirigible Italia crashed, picked up the signals and immediately went to the rescue.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

NOBILE, CREW REAGHNORWAY Ship Anchors in Bay, Will Leave for Rome Tonight. Eli United Press NARVIK, Norway, July 26. Shrouded in an atmosphere of secrecy and depression, the supply ship Citta Di Milano arrived here at 7 a. m. today to disembark survivors of the polar dirigible Italia, who will entrain for oßme at 6:30 p. m. ■ Gen. Umberto Nobile, the Italia’s commander, and his companions have been ordered by the Italian government to talk to no one not of their party. To this fact was ascribed the decision of the Citta Di Milano’s commander to anchor out in the harbor, well away from curious eyes of local townspeople. It was understood that the ship would not dock until every one had been cleared from the pier. The editor of the Narkard Norges reported that he spent six hours in a motor boat, following the Citta Di Milano in an effort to interview Nobile, but did not succeed. Nobile, he said, could be seen on the steamship’s deck, looking well. The train bearing the Italia’s survivors will go by the way of Krylbo and Goteborg. It is due at Copenhagen Sunday morning.

FARMERS WORK TO LIGHTEN TAX LOAD ON LANDS t Seek to Transfer Burden to City Owners arid Ricti Corporations., Hoosier farmers foresee victory in their 1928 effort to transfer the tax burden from their land to city property owners, particularly the “prosperous corporations.” Lewis Taylor, director of the tax department of the Indiana Farm Federation,today predicted this result, unless the State tax board comes to the rescue of the corporations by materially reducing their taxation valuations. Cut Farm Valuations “Farmers have done well thus far in their tax reduction program,” said Taylor. “Many counties have made large reductions in the assessed valuation of farm lands. In doing so, they have accomplished two things: materially reduced the bonding power of the various taxing units, barring the use of the holding corporation, an institution that promptly should be abolished by the next Legisulature; and, unless the State Tax Board materially lowers the values of corporations, of which they have the exclusive power to assess, there will be a considerable shift of the farmer’s tax burdneds to them. “Valuations for assessment of many corporations should be raised If the many published statements indicating unusual degrees of prosperity be true, and as the increasing values of their securities indicate. “The next step and one of the most important is to watch public expenditures. Indiana has 644 members of county councils charged with the appropriation of about twenty-five million dollars, and 3,051 members of township advisory boards charged with the appropriation of about sixty-three million dollars. The Farm Bureau suggests that their organized representatives attend local advertised meetings where budgets and public expenditures are to be considered, and speak for the members of their respective townships and counties. Meetings Arranged “This is the next important work of our tax department and so far as reducing taxes is concerned, probably the most important. That our township tax committees may act with the greatest uniformity and with the greatest effect, it has been thought best to hold a series of tax meetings throughout the State, to which farm bureau members, tax committees, taxing officials, county officers, county councils and township advisory boards will be invited. Budget laws and the making of budgets will be explained and plans for a forceful campaign of tax reduction carefully worked out. The farm bureau will cooperate with the Indiana Taxpayers Association which has a corps of highly trained men, expert in analyzing and explaining tax budgets.” The dates and places of the ten farm bureau district ’-ax meetings are as follow: July 31, Clifty Falls, Tenth district; Aug. 1, Rushville, Eighth district; Aug. 2, Anderson, Sixth district; Aug. 3, Marion, Fourth district; Aug. 4, Albion, Second district; Aug. 6, Knox, First district; Aug. 7, Lafayette, Third district; Aug. 8, Crawfordsville; Fifth district; Aug. 9, Linton, Seventh district; Aug. 10, Jasper, Ninth district.

LEADERS SHIFT ALLEGIANCE IN BOTHJ’ARTIES Senator Simmons Resigns Democratic Berth; Owen Also for Hoover. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Frew Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 26.—Developments are proving that this presidential campaign will present a more widespread shift in party affiliation and perhaps a larger expenditure of money than any other in American history when two major parties have held the field to themselves. The spectacle of prominent party members announcing switch of allegiance in public statements, issued here and elsewhere, is an indication of what is going on in the rank and file. Asa climax to recent switches, word came to Democratic headquarters here today that Senator F. M. Simmons of North Carolina, for years a Democratic leader, has resigned his position on the Democratic national coin mi*’ee. Simmons has made no explanation, but he fought Smith bitterly in the preconvention campaign. Owen for Hoover Former Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma, also a Democratic leader for years, declared for Herbert Hoover in a statement issued yesterday from eastern Republican headquarters of Senator Mosses of New Hampshire. A few hours later, John Raskob of the Democratic committee, himself formerly a Republican, made public a letter from one of his big j business associates, William Woodin of New York, regularly known as a ! Republican, declaring for Governor j Alfred E. Smith. Woodin is a director in General J Motors and several other large I corporations and president of the | American Car and Foundry Com- [ pany and the American Locomotive j Company. A Tennessee defection from the Smith ranks came in a declaration for Hoover in Republican headquarters by Dr. D. E. Mitchell, former president of Cumberland College, Lebanon, Tenn., a Presbyterian institution, who said Tennessee would be in the Hoover column. Expense to Be Heavy This campaign is going to cost a good deal of money, Raskob admits. Both parties will have it this year. The Democratic chairman today fixed a total estimate of between $2,500,000 and $3,000,000 for his party’s campaign. This is a tentative estimate. It represents more than the Democrats have spent in the last two campaigns, at least. There is a probability that the Democratic figure will run above this. Republicans at least will match the Democratic amount. It is conservative to estimate a total expenditure by both parties at $10,000,000. Campaign expenditures will be watched this year because of the senatorial investigations into large outlays. Raskob said today he would publish a financial statement every thirty days, as pledged by the Democratic platform. Predicts Heavy Dry Vote By United Press NEWCASTLE. Ind., July 26.—Prediction that 26,000,000 women will support dry candidates at the forthcoming election was made by Mrs. Elizabeth Stanley, Liberty, addressing the Indiana young people's branch of the W. C. T. U. here. “Our farmers are dry, and they are not going to permit liquor to mislead them,” she asserted.
