The charge that Herbert Hoover, Republican presidential nominee, drank liquor and thus belied his prohibition stand, virtually was retracted here by Senator Bruce, Maryland Democrat. Bruce said his statement was based on a newspaper story that quoted Clarence Darrow, famous criminal attorney, as saying he had taken a drink with Hoover. The charge aroused considerable criticism from Republican ranks and Darrow denied the story. Bruce said he had not been informed of the denial and made his charge on the assumption the newspaper story was correct. SURVEY CHURCH WORK Indianapolis Federation Joins in Making National Check.

Johnson of 125 South Third Street, West Helena, Ark., described his long use of Thedford’s Black Draught, saying: “I am sixty-five years old. For ( years and years, possibly forty years, I have used Black-Draught as a laxative. It was about the only medicine I ever took, when a young man, for biliousness and constipation. “In after-years, as I grew older, I had to take it when I would get constipated. When I feel bloated, £et to aching, feel stupid and sleepy without being able to sleep, I go to taking Black-Draught, and after a few doses I feel much better, I rest better, and the aching is all gone. “I take Black-Draught for indigestion, pains in the chest after meals. After I feel this trouble coming on, I take a light dose of Black-Draught before I eat, and then what I eat doesn’t hurt me. I certainly am a firm believer in Black-Draught.” Only the purest, selected medicinal herbs and roots are used in the manufacture of Black-Draught. It is finely powdered, which enables the juices of the stomach to extract its medicinal properties in an easy, natural way. In use for over eighty-seven years. Sold everywhere; 25 doses 25 cents.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SENATOR NORRIS INDORSES SMITH TALK ON POWER \ Says Al’s Stand Ahead of Hoover; Pleased by Farm Pledge. By ROSCOE B. FLEMING Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—Senator George W. Norris, Progressive leader in the Senate, today indorsed the declarations made in two of Governor Alfred E. Smith’s western speeches—that at Omaha on farm relief and that at Denver on power. Norris said also that he stands by the criticism he uttered both of the Republican platform and nominee after the Kansas City convention. But he now is not going to make any flat declarations on the presi - dency, Norris said, for fear it might hamper his forthcoming fight to help re-elect the seven Progressive Senators of both parties who are up this fall. Praises Farm Stand "I regard their re-election as even more important that the question of who is to be President, ’ he said, “especially when I think what they have accomplised against bitter opposition in the last few years. They have to their credit a sum of accomplishments greater than any other man or group. “As for Smith, I do not see how any one ■who believes that the farm problem must be solved by the control of crop surpluses—the plan we tried to make effective in the Mc-Nary-Haugen bill—can fail to be satisfied with what he said at Omaha. “He accepts the principle and also that the crop benefited should bear the cost of controlling the surplus. Within this limit he will appoint a commission to work out a plan to be laid before Congress quickly. That is definite and specific. Says Smith Ahead of Hoover “And his power speech at Denver was so great—so far ahead of anything Hoover has said on the same question that there is no comparison. “Without discounting the importance of other issues I believe the power issue to be the most important of the campaign. The Federal Trade Commission revelations have clinched the fact that the people of this country stand confronted by the greatest attempt at monopoly and the secret control of our Government that has arisen since the beginning of our history.” Storm Takes Huge Toll LISBON, Portugal, Sept. 25.—A severe storm, accompanied by a driving rain and strong winds, caused enormous damage in Portugal yesterday and today.

Roberts, superintendent at the home, stated that the case has been placed in the hands of juvenile court authorities, and that an effort is being made to locate the mother who left the child in the Union Station Sunday morning with a note pinned to its clothing, pleading for adoption because she was too poor to care for it. The woman appeared to be a foreigner, according to the matron at the woman’s rest room, who discovered the youngsterand sent it to the home with two policemen. “If all search for the mother proves futile, the baby will be offered for adoption,” said Miss Roberts. OPPOSE AUTO CARAVAN Complaints against the use of State highways as “freight routes” by motor car manufacturers who drive fleets of new machines to delivery points have been received by the State Highway Commission.
