‘Monkey Shine’ B.y Times Special PETERSBURG, Ind., Oct. 4. —A monkey which tired of his job—making a parachute jump from an airplane—avoided the job, but received several bird shot in his hide. Just before a plane took off with the monkey, as part of an air circus program near here, the animal escaped and took to a tree. Defying pursuers as it hopped about in the treetop, the animal was finally brought down with a shotgun. Several shot were picked from its body, but, sore physically and mentally, the monkey was spared making the leap and a dummy took its place.

HINT NEW LEAD IN BUST QUIZ Remy Refuses Names of Jury Witnesses. Only two witnesses were before the county grand jury today in the investigation of the explosion at the Traugott Clothing Store, 315-17 W. Washington St., Aug. 26. Prosecutor William H. Remy was with the jury for two hours, but refused to disclose names of the witnesses or the lines he was following in the quiz. He indicated he was 1 uncovering some new leads. The grand jury was expected to continue efforts to definitely identify the owner of a watch that was found in the safe at the Traugott store following the fire. Authorities are working on the theory that the watch was one of those stolen in the Broadmoor holdup. Remy today ordered R. L. Brokenburr, deputy prosecutor, to file suit in a county court to obtain judgment on a $1,500 bond filed in Criminal Court by Mrs. Ivy O’Roark, for the appearance of Joseph Hunter, known as “Kentucky Joe,” who is wanted on a charge of robbery. The bond was defaulted by Criminal Judge James A. Collins on Remy’s request Wednesday. Another development was investigation by State police of a reported auto theft ring operating in Evansville that is said to have been linked with the alleged auto theft ring in Indianapolis. Dr. Fred V. Binzer, Terre Haute, indicted in the interstate automobile theft ring case, was released under $25,000 surety bond today. He had been in jail for more than a week. SEEK G. 0. P.

Foellinger, chairman of the Indiana Hoover Clubs, calling upon Republican workers to guard against over confidence. “No election ever was victorious for any side that was content to rest on its oars, supremely confident that it could not suffer defeat,” Foellniger said. “Regardless of how safe Hoover’s candidacy may be in Indiana, every Hoover vote will be sought with every ounce of energy our workers can command.” Refuse to Move, Lose Vote for A1 By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—Mrs. Della Howley, her husband and six children have refused to move from their home while it is being repaired for fear they will lose their right to vote for Governor Alfred E.

Indiana Girl Wouldn’t Eat "Everybody in the neighborhood was crazy about Dorothy. She was the happiest, brightest little thing you ever saw,’’ says her mother, Mrs. J. W. Hamilton, 1422 Laurel St., Indianapolis. "She looked so healthy we thought she’d never have any trouble. But she began to be constipated. It made her fretful, cross and feverish. Her breath got to be terrible and her tongue was nearly always coated. She didn’t want to do anything but lie around. She wouldn’t eat and was losing weight fast. "Then our doctor recommended California Fig Syrup and I began giving it to Dorothly. It brightened her up right away. She began to eat heartily and her stomach and bowels started acting perfectly. Soon she commenced gaining weight again and she’s been perfectly well, strong and happy ever since.” California Fig Syrup is made from two of Nature’s greatest laxatives—ripe California Figs and First Quality Senna Leaves. Children like its rich, fruity taste. It regulates their stomach and bowels and gives these organs tone and strength so they continue to act normally, of their own accord. The genuine, endorsed by physicians for over 50 years, always bears the word "California.” All drug stores have it. —Advertisement

REVEAL UTILITY PAID HEAD OF CLUB WOMAN National President Given $14,400 for Articles in Farm Papers. BY CECIL OWEN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.—Magazine articles written by Mrs. John B. Sherman, former president of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, for which she received S6OO a month from the National Electric Light Association were put in evi* dence today in the Federal trade commission’s power investigation. Most of the articles appeared in rural publications and dealt with electrical equipment for the farm home. Mrs. Sherman urged farmers’ wives to purchase modern equipment. Payments to Mrs. Sherman aggregated $14,400 Since October, 1926. Agreement Still Effective George F. Oxley, publicity director of the N. E. L. A., testified that arrangements with Mrs. Sherman still are effective and she recently completed eleven articles to be published soon. Some of Mrs. Sherman’s articles were rewritten by Oxley, reprinted in utility literature without her signature and frequently printed in newspapers in their news columns after utility agents sent them to the editors, he said. There was no indication that the articles were paid for by utility groups, Oxley admitted. Mrs. Sherman cooperated also with the N. E. L. A. in a survey of rural home electrification, Oxley said. He added she prepared a digest of that survey. Although made by the general federation, this was partly financed by the N. E. L. A., accordnig to previous evidence. Paid by Advertising Firm All payments to Mrs. Sherman were through the advertising firm of Lord & Thomas and Logan, New York City, “adveirtising counsel” for the N. E. L. A. Among farm magazines printing Mrs. Sherman’s articles was Capper’s Farmer, the Progressive Farmer, Farm Life and Better Homes and Gardens.

WILLEBRANBT INDIANA TOUR IS CANCELLED G. 0. P. Chiefs Advised That Appeals to Prejudice Would Hurt Hoover. Bp Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.—Cancellation of the projected speaking engagements of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt in Indiana is reported here to have been at the advice of Oscar Foellinger and other Hoover leaders in Indiana, who did not believe that the kind of speeches she has been making in other sections would help Hoover in Indiana. Former Governor J. P. Goodrich called on Hoover yesterday, but contented himself after the call with saying that Indiana would give Hoover “nearly as large” a Republican majority as those of 1920 and 1924, and that Colorado and Oklahoma, where he recently has visited, were safe for Hoover. Whether Mrs. Willebrandt was discussed is not known. Hamilton Fish, New York Congressman, visited Dr. Work yesterday and told Work the Willebrandt brand of campaign was playing right into Smith’s hands. Fish Gives Warning “All he has to do,” Fish told Work, “is to point to such activities as those of Mrs. Willebrandt, Mrs. Willie Caldwell, Virginia national committeewoman, and C. D. Street, Alabama national committeeman, to prove the charges of offlcial Republican sympathy with the

religious campaign. This will be fatal in the East.” Fish would not say how his advice was received, but it is believed that the Republican leaders are worried. The House committee appointed to investigate the campaign meets tomorrow here on request of Representative Loring Black, New York, Democrat. Black intends to demand investigation of sectarian activities and Mrs. Willebrandt’s speeches. Try to Force Quiz It is believed the Democrats think that if they can force an investigation, they will find that Mrs. Willebrandt’s speeches in Ohio, particularly her appeal to the Methodist ministers, were approved and that she was speaking under auspices of the Republican committee, despite the denials of Hubert Work, national Republican chairman. Mrs. Willebrandt was to have spoken to the Indiana W. C. T. U. at Kokomo, and other Indiana engagements were in prospect. The reason given for cancellation at her office today was that she was too busy with her duties as an assistant United States attorney general to make the trip. Plans for her proposed southern trip, including speeches in Kentucky, are going forward, however. The loftiest peak in the Philippines is Mt. Apo, on Mindanao Island, 9,160 feet.

PHILLY ‘TONIC’ INDUSTRY BARED AS RUM ‘BUND’ ‘Undercover’ Houses Make Million Gallons Yearly, Probe Reveals. By United Press PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 4.—About 1,000,000 gallons of alcohol are received each year by "under cover” houses in Philadelphia, and after redistillation the alcohol is converted into synthetic whisky, according to an estimate today by District Attorney John Monaghan. Monaghan based his estimate upon reports which he has received from prohibition agents who have been checking up the flow of illegal alcohol into this city. The “under cover” houses are said to operate as perfume and hair tonic factories. The district atorney collected the data in connection with his investigation of police bribery by bootleggers and saloon keepers who are alleged to be members of the liquor syndicate which is supposed to have made profits of $10,000,000 in the last three years. The latest revelation in the Civil Service Commission’s inquiry into police corruption dealt with payments made to Charles Beckman, former member of the police force who was suspended. Records of the Cereal Beverage Company showed that payments of SBOO and $420 were made to Beckman. The former policeman has been ordered to present his defense today.
