NEWTON BAKER TAKES ISSUE WITH NEW LEAGUE PLAN
OPPOSES ROLE OF WORLD BY GREATPOWERS Little Nations Have Saved Cause of Peace, Ohio Notable Declares. POINTS OUT FAILURES Real Accomplishment Is Record to Date at Geneva, He Says. (By Scripps-Howard Alliance) CLEVELAND, 0., Oct. 26.—Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War during the World war and one of America’s leading advocates of the present League of Nations, took sharp issue today with the organization of anew league as proposed by Ralph Blumenfeld, editor of the London Express, by an agreement between the United States and Great Britain. ' This new league would be a league of the big nations, which would undertake to keep the little ones in order. He characterized the present league as “a germ-carry-ing talking machine,” ineffective by its cumbersomeness. Baker outlined his views for the Scripps-Howard newspapers. “I share Mr. Blumenfeld’s feeling that sympathetic co-operattion between the United States and the British empire is essential to maintenance of world peace. Whatever temporary differences or feeling or interest there may be between the British and ourselves, our deepest feeling and our strongest interests will urge us to such co-oper-ation, but from all the rest Mr. Blumenfeld says, I dissent. Praises Small Nations “He seems to be tired of the League of Nations because it has not been run by Great Britain and the United States, and he is tired also of the League of Nations because they talk a lot at Geneva, v. “Now, of course, the fact about the League of Nations is that it and the peace of the world have been saved by the small nations. Japac, Czecho-Slovakia, Greece, Sweden, Norway and Belgium have been represented at the league by statesmen of supreme ability and the contributions made to the preservation of world peace by men like, Brant ■ ing Nansen, and Benes have been as important as those made by anybody with the solitary exceptions of Lord Robert Cecil and Genera. Smutz. „ “The little nations have quite justified their right to be members of the league. Asa matter of fact, there are just three ways to try to keep peace in the world. Three Roads to Peace “One*; an imposed peace by which a strong nation or several strong nations impose peace on the rest of the world. Alexander the Great and the Caesars both tried this and failed. Mr. Blumenfeld wants to trv it again on a somewhat broader basis, but with the same inevitable seeds of failure. “Two: A balance of power. Europe tried this up to 1914, when the whole thing collapsed into the World war. Nobody wants to try this again. „ _ “Three: A concerted peace on a democratic basis, which all.nations have a chance to talk to their hearts’ content about all their interests, prejudices and crank ideas, as Mr. Blumenfeld calls them. Bring Out the Poison “If this leads to poisonous talk, as Mr Blumenfeld says it does, it will be far better to bring the poison out into the sunshine than to leave it rankling in some tuppeny little state. „„ . “I have great confidence m the wisdom, both of the British and ourselves, but I do not believe we are wise enough or certain enough in our wisdom to govern the rest of the world without its consent. “Asa matter of fact, the League of Nations is growing stronger every day and that ‘talk’ in Geneva of Which I have heard a very great deal seems to me to be curative rather than dangerous.”

By United Press EVANSTON, 111., Oct, 26.—The Illinois State Women's Christian Temperance Union is on record as in hearty indorsement of the candidacy of Herbert Hoover for the presidency. The unit, in state convention here, greeted with cheers an attack by Mrs. Ella C. Boole, national president, on Alfred E. Smith. Mrs. Boole called Smith “a lover of the liquor traffic, a loose talker and a friend of the saloon.” She urged that prohibition be given a chance “by the election of Herbert Hoover” and she assailed Smith’s advocacy of adoption of the Canadian system for liquor disposal in the United States. The name of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney-gen-eral, was greeted by cheers from the delegates.

Lack of prosperity on the farms and unemployment go hand-in-hand and it is up to the government to find remedies for both, Albert Stump, Democratic candidate for the United States senate, told a gathering at Irvington Masonic Temple Thursday night. “The best market for industry is the American farmer,” he asserted. “Industry stagnates because of the loss of that market. “Last winter it took $650,000,000 to relieve, through charity, the want and misery due to unemployment in our larger cities.” jPfjjj?

THE 11\ ui Al>i AToLiE TIMES
LIONS FIGHT TO | DEATH IN ZOO Attendants Fail to Halt Battle in Den. B i/ T’nitrd Press DETROIT, Oct. 26.—While attendants fired blank cartridges, poked desperately with huge iron bars and finally turned on fire hose, two enraged lions fought to the death of one Thursday at the new Detroit Zoological park. Leo, a beautiful, ferocious beast, who had assumed the attitude of king, was being driven to his cage in the rear of an outdoor den, when Melenik, smaller lion, who apparently resented the king’s snarling, defiant manner, thrust a paw under the sliding door connecting their cages. In a flash Leo seized the paw, the door slid up and two king of beasts, with terrific roars, met in a fight to the finish. Leo finally saw an opening, and, with a quick lunge, fastened his long, yellow fangs in the opponent's throat. Despite streams of water, iron bars and shots, he held on tenaciously until Melenik collapsed. GILDA'S GIL GeFs GOING Boas Files Cross Bill In Dancer's Divorce Suit.

INDICT ELEVEN IN KANSAS CITY ‘RACKET’ QUIZ Secretary of Building Council One of Those Named by High Jury. By United Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 26. Kansas City, advertised as “The Heart of America” and priding itself in its essentially American homeowning population, formally recogi nized today that it had become prey to the same kind of lawlessness that has attacked Chicago, after the Jackson grand jury had indicted ten persons on charges of bombing and racketeering activities. Sixty-one witnesses have been questioned the past month in the grand jury investigation into bombing and other forms of labor terrorism which have inflamed industrial Kansas City. The grand jury tqday made a partial report returning three indictments charging Jim- | my Martin, confessed bomber; Robi ert W. Jackson, cleaner and dyer I William H. Doerr, with second I degree arson in connection with set- ! ting afire an apartment Doerr owned. Doerr is charged with paying Martin and Jackson to set the fire. The two men were caught by a patrolman as they ran from the blazing apartment. The terrorism dates back to September when Jimmy Martin, five times a convict, made public that he could explain many bombings here during the last year. During September stories bv Martin appeared in the Kansas City JournalPost relating his experiences as a Chicago gangster, and his activity here in labor troubles. He accused local labor leaders of paying him for bombings. He discussed an alleged connection of certain cleaners and dyers with bombing in a cleaning and dyeing war. James R. Page, county prosecutor, announced an investigation of Martin's story by the grand jury. On the very eve of the empaneling of the grand jury a Kansas City cleaning plant was bombed and the terrorism. with its bombings and death threats continued. Senator Charles Curtis, Republican vice-presidential nominee, I speaking in Akron, 0., credited the vast strides forward in the rubber I industry and tire trade to the proj tective tariff.

In Darkness Dad’and His Dog Bring Brightness
Blind Evangelist Quips at Own Sightless Eyes; ‘Dude’ Leads On— Sightless, yet cheery and bright. Jaunty, smiling always—wisecracking, yet at the same time tempering his remarks with sage w’isdom. A crusader, he spends his time preaching in penitentiaries, jails and prisons. He is active in prison reform work. There you have a thumbnail sketch of R. K. (Dad) Fennell, 63-year-old blind evangelist of Athens, Tenn., who arrived in Indianapolis today after addressing the inmates at the Indiana State Boys’ school at Plainfield Wednesday. Guided by his faithful dog, Dude, "Dad” Fennell has spent the last nine years of his life in prison evangelistic work. He claims to have converted 12,895 prisoners to Christianity, and testimonials from penitentiary and prison wardens back his statement. Fennell walked from the terminal station to the offices of The Times. ! “Dude” led the way, unerringly. lie 1 knows the traffic signals, knows the

Orr, Selma, $3,000, and T. J. Stadling, Farmer, $1,200 Haymond charged that Walker had verbally threatened him with death to get oil project funds. The former treasurer said Walker’s demands for money began after he had used money other than his own to take up a bad loan to Walker. The warrant issued against Ha; - mond carries a $25,000 bond, but the former treasurer is ill and no attempt so far has been made to set a date for his arraignment. Haymond said he believed Walker was in Philadelphia, Pa., and that the latter had a wife and two sons residing in Terre Haute. About eight years ago Walker was said to have been the organizer of the Bankers' Oil Company to obtain money here for investment in Oklahoma and Kansas oil fields.

He is earnest and sincere in his motto: “I want to bring brightness where there is darkness.” RIVER VICTIM STILL ILL Battle to Stop Pneumonia in Child Saved From Drowning.

AIRPORT GROUP TO MEET SOON FOR SITE STUDY Other Tracts Besides One Chosen by Committee Are Considered. An early meeting of the municipal airport committee to discuss the Chamber of Commerce recommendation for an airport site was scheduled today at city hall. City officials are considering three other sites besides No. 30. whicii svas selected by the citizens’ group. Reduction of the price of No. 8, south of Ben Davis, gave rise to the report that city officials are favorable to that tract. It is said that No. 8 will be more easily conditioned than No. 30 and is equally suitable from the traffic standpoint. The 1,000-acre site, which was priced at $313 an acre to the citizens committee has been cut sl4 an acre. No. 30 was priced at s42*l an acre for the 920-acre plat. Adoption Nov. 5 Expected Belief that city council will adopt plans on the four sites Nov. 5 was expressed by committeemen. Edward Z. Raubn, Jr., park board attorney, a member of the committee, submitted an outline of the legal steps necessary to acquire an airport under the 1920 statute. Adoption of plats, estimates of cost and options, by council and advertisement of a public hearing for three weeks will be the first move, according to Raub. The council then will adopt an ordinance to purchase a site and authorize a bond issue. Moore Wants Time Details of the contracts will be negotiated by the board of works. City Engineer A. H. Moore said he would not make a recommendation on the sites without a month’s study. “It is too big a proposition to take a shot on. I want time to investigate and avoid mistakes,” Moore declared.
