ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE PLEADS FOR CASH TO FIGHT AL

DRY LEADERS SODND WARNING AGAINST SMITH CaU for immediate and Heavy Contributions for ‘Cause.’ FEAR RESULT IN SOUTH Loss of Prestige Sure to Follow Election, in View of Foes. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—Under heavy attack by Governor Alfred E. Smith, the Anti-Saloon League today issued a nation-wide appeal for immediate contribution of funds to finance its campaign “through churches and other welfare organizations’ ’against the Democratic presidential rr ninee. Seriousness of the situation from their viewpoint is not minimized by the drys, for the letter, written by Howard Hyde Russel of Westerville, 0., founder and general superintendent, mentions vast sums being spent by the wets. ..fc also expresses the fear that southern states, though dry, may vote for Smith, and that Republican wets in northern territory may rally to his standard. “In the final strategy to assure success,’’ the letter says, “much more money jnust be provided quickly from the officers and members of the association opposed to prohibition and many other sources, funds more than ever before are flowing into the wet campaign treasury. “John J. Raskob, the Republican who heads the committee for the frankly wet candidate, and other supporters, just have increased their gifts to SIOO,OOO each. While our league has received no very large amounts, the spirit of deep interest have been shown by many contributors. The support has been entirely individual. The league has received no help from any organization, political or otherwise.” Tne detailed account of dry activities against Smith, however, indicate that the organized drys have spent considerable money. “In this most difficult and challenging campaign,” the letter continues, “the league has published and distributed millions of votewinning prints, has sent flying wedges of speakers, has promoted news publicity, and is most actively recruiting and organizing the dry forces , . . dry votes must be won and gotten into the ballot boxes. Every proper effort must be made to insure victory.” Meanwhile, Washington speculated on the loss of power the league may suffer from its present activities, regardless of who is elected President. Should Smith carry southern States, where it has conducted its most vigorous fight on him, its influence might wane among Democratic members of congress already bitter againsJt antiSmith leaders in that territory. Leading southern drys, including men like Senators Glass of Virginia, Harrison of Mississippi, and Cara-way-of Arkansas, nightly have denounced the tactics of league leaders as animated by religious prejudice. Bishop Cannon, one of the most embattled prohibitionists, has been their chief target. The threat against Senator Norris, cited by Smith in his Baltimore speech as an example of the league’s “browbeating methods,” has antagonized the Nebraskan’s friends in his own and surrounding states. Lastly, should Smith’s vote reveal a change in sentiment on the wet-and-dry issue, the organized drys might be hard put to maintain their recent domination of legislation on Capitol hill. NIP BOY AUTO RING 5 Lads Under 14, Held for Theft of Cars. Five youths, all under 14, were held at the Marion county detention home today as members of an organized gang of juvenile automobile thieves. All the boys have been arrested at least once before, police said. Otto Hoffman,. 1328 South Delaware street, began the gang roundup when he caught a 13-year-old boy trying to start his automobile in front of his home. The boy confessed to stealing four automobiles and implicated the four other youths.

Beauty Queen Is Married Secretly, Violating Rule, Must Yield Crown

By NEA Service ST. LOUIS, Oct. 31.—The Veiled Prophet is the venerable monarch from a mystic realm who visits this city once each year and, at a magnificent ball, chooses from the city’s society girls a queen of love and beauty. She reigns until her successor is chosen a year later. Today, St. Louis is without such a queen because the one His Majesty chose was found to have violated one of his irrevocable decrees. It happened thus: Twenty-year-old Mary Ambrose Smith, daughter of JSheppard Smith, president of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company, was chosen queen this year. At the ball in the Coliseum in early October she was crowned in a gorgeous ceremony. The prophet requires that his queen be unmarried and remain so during the year of her reign. But a few days after the ball it was learned that Miss Smith, two months before her coronation, secretly has wed Dr. Thomas C. Birdsall.

FLAYS METHODS OF DRY LEAGUE Asked for Money, Holtzman Writes Scorching Reply. Corporation Counsel John W. Holtzman, who was solicited for a donation by Howard H. Russell, Anti-Saloon League founder of Westerville. 0., today sent a scorching denunciation of the dry league’s methods instead of a contribution. Holtzman is a Democrat and served twice as mayor of Indianapolis. Hiss letter to the Ohio dry leader: “I have your request for a donation to the Anti-Saloon League campaign fund to be used against Governor Smith in his race for the presidency. You also enclosed in your communication the most scandalous and scurrilous literature that I have ever seen distributed. It is amazing that men who claim to be decent should engage in such low an dbase propaganda. I. shall take pleasure in voting for Governor Smith as a rebuke to your organization and to its political aids, the Ku-Klux Klan, the bootlegger, hijacker and racketeer, for which your organization is largely responsible. Governor Smith, whether elected or not, will have the supreme satisfaction of knowing that these three un-American, un-Christian organizations have given their support to his opponent.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Miss Smith and Dr. Birdsall immediately left the city on a belated honeymoon. Now they have returned, and the following statement has been issued in behalf of the Veiled Prophets. “The Veiled Prophet Queen of 1928 has returned the crown, thus abdicating. The throne is declared vacant.” “Yes,” says the deposed queen, “I had the family send In the crown with my abdication shortly after we left on the honeymoon. Os course, I regret very much I was the cause of breaking a precedent of many years.” “You were in quite a predicament on the eve of the Veiled Prophet’s ball, weren’t you?” she was asked. "Yes, and I was worried quite a bit before, as soon as I learned I was to be chosen queen. I didn’t know what to do, so I didn’t do anything. But now that it is all over and everyone apparently has had his say, I am glad the news of the marriage came out.”

What Doctors Think

of the Laxative Habit

In all history, no Indian was ever known to have constipation. Nor need YOU. He chewed the bark of a tree called cascara. Today, we have the candy Cascaret. Cascarizing the bowels never forms a laxative habit. If already formed, an occasional Cascaret will usually break the habit. For cascara strengthens the muscular walls of the bowels, and their need of any aid at all grows constantly less. What other cathartic has this char- ■ acteristic? The writer knows of! none. An evacuation brought gentlj | about by cascara will, nine times in! ten, be followed by full functioning of the bowels on the morrow—and for days after. For there is no REACTION as with sickening salts, or any of the man-made purgatives that go through one’s system like a bullet. Physicians tell us cascara is the ideal laxative—and the tongue tells

SLEW FOR HONOR PARENT DECLARES

Nicotine Devils Bu United Press DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 31. Cigaret smoking is an “infernal, criminal practice,” and the time is now ripe to attack that evil, Dr. Albert G. Johnson, pastor of the Temple Baptist church, told the fiftieth anniversary convention of the First Michigan District W. C. T. U. "Cigarets,” Dr. Johnson said, “is poisoning races of people yet unborn, by spreading the habit among women. It must be next to go.”

URGES ‘NO BOLTING’ William Bosson, former city attorney, told Second ward Republicans, Tuesday night that “a vote for the Democratic state ticket means a vote for Democratic policies.” “If Frank C. Dailey ever bolted his party, we demand that he tell wnen,” said Bosson. “He is the type who always voted Democratic. No more unsound doctrines were ever advocated than by this Democratic party.”

t .

us candy Cascarets are its ideal form. At least a mill l on people know this; what a pity there are any who don’t! Especially parents; because children love to take a Cascaret. After which, for days-on-end, the bowels will be seen to work ot their own accord. The only habit from cascara is that of regularity! Cascarets tone and train the bowels. But at the first sign of returning sluggishness another Cascaret is as effective as the first. There isn’t a druggist who hasn’i Cascarets, so WHY experiment with laxatives?—Advertisement,

Sicilian Code Brought Into Slaying to Aid Father. Bu United Press ASBURY PARK, N. J., Oct. 31— A scilian code of honor will be offered in defense of Joseph Farruggio when he goes to trial for the murder of Harold Johnston, high school football star. While his wife and eleven children, lacking coal, and food, shivered in their home at Freehold, N. J., Farrugio sat in jail here and re-enacted the shooting. Farrugio’s 10-year-old daughter Marianne, charges that Johnston attacked her twice. She admitted it only after her father had led her into the woods and whipped her with a strand of telephone wire. Farruggio then went to the Johnston home and demanded that Harold marry Marianne. He committed the murder after the high school boy refused. John R. Phillips, attorney for Farrugio, revealed today that he might employ the defense that saved Harry K. Thaw’s life when he was on trial for the shooting of Stanford White, That defense rests upon the assumption that Farruggio was temporarily insane when uohnston refused to marry Marrianne. This defense might be used in addition to the “code of honor” defense. Farruggio, a swarthy, heavily set man, showed no remorse as he sat in jail, chewing bread and onions, and excitedly recounting the details of the shoot lug. Family honor is held high in Sicily, his native land, Farruggio said. Wives must be faithful and daughters virtuous or the mark of shame is placed upon every member of the family. The shooting of Johnston seemed to be the only thing for him to do.

SMITH VAGUE * ON FARM ISSUE, SAYS HUGHES Pounds Al on Economy and Tariff; Cites ‘Peril’ of Bureaucracy. Bu United' Press WORCESTER, Mass., Oct. 31. Charles Evans Hughes, former sec* retary of state, again called Governor Alfred E. Smith’s prohibition modification campaign a “sham battle” m an address here Tuesday night. He described Smith as a “free spender” who “could not be depended upon to secure an economical administration.” Touching upon the question of farm relief and water power, Hughes said Smith had evaded the former and failed to make himself clear on the latter question. Hughes asked why Smith did not appeal to voters to elect a wet Congress rather than making a statement that Democratic candidates for Congress were free to run as drys if they wished. Stresses Tariff, Economy The protective tariff would be safe under Herbert Hoover and the continuation of economical government under Republican administration, might be expected, Hughes said in asking the Republican nominee’s election. He pointed out that Hoover’s election would insure the country “against the invasion of disastrous policies.” Bureaucracy on a large scale would be the result of Smith’s policies, Hughes said. The Democratic nominee's election would mean the launching of the government into business on a large scale, he said. Bring Up Farm Issue The former secretary of state recalled that he had asked Smith a definite question regarding his stand on farm relief and had not received a reply that he considered satisfactory. He asked if the New York Governor favored the equalization fee and also asked if Smith knew that the imposition of that part of the farm relief program would mean that the government would have to buy or sell products or appoint agents to do it if the fee system was to become effective. This, Hughes said, was the most gigantic scheme of putting the government into business ever proposed in this country and that the people of the east and west were entitled to know just where Governor Smith stood on it.
