GAS TRUSTEES TO GIVE STAND ON CONTRACT Board to Make Position Clear Within 10 Days. FIGHT TO HIGH COURT Swift Warns Politics Must Be Kept Out of Venture.

Citizens Gas Company trustees probably will make known within the next ten days their stand on the contract calling for the city to take over the utility in 1930. Will Thompson, utility lawyer of the Arm of Miller, Dailey & Thompson, is expected to have an opinion on whether the city’s agreement is enforceable. The agreement was entered into twenty-five years ago when John W. Holtzman, now corporation counsel, was mayor of Indianapolis. It is understood the trustees have the opinion of several other lawyers on the original charter granted by the city when the company was formed. If financiers who are buying up the gas stock decide to start a court battle on the agreemtnt it is predicted the fight will be carried to the United States Supreme court. One of the questions involved is whether the issuing of an indefinite permit by the public service commission in 1921 cancels the city charter provisions. Contract Expires in 1930 The contract expires Aug. 25, 1930. The company’s assets are listed at $12,000,000, with net. funded indebtedness of $3,500,000. Trustees, who represent those who hold certificates of stock, will name anew board of directors in January, and it is likely the directors will be asked to subscribe to the views of the trustees before their election. Robert Lieber, Lucius B. Swift, Henry Kahn, Gus Schnull, and Thomas L. Sullivan, once mayor, are the trustees. Sullivan is president. Lucius B. Swift, vice-president of trustees, declared that in his opinion the city should come into possession of the utility in 1930. In announcing his belief that the contract still is operative, despite the surrender of the franchise to the state commission, Swift made it clear that he did not represent the trustees. > Warns Against Politics Swift warned against allowing politics to creep into operation of the properties. “I have never believed that the surrender of the charter, to which the city was nova party, cancels that contract. It will put the city in possession of a property worth millions and in fine condition. So long as it is operated under purely business principles with politics absolutely excluded it will bring to the city a large annual income of actual cash or in lower rates after it has paid off the 10 per cent stock at par and other fixed debts,” Swift said. “But this proposition will be wrecked if politics, good or bad, gets a grip. To prevent that, additional legislation may be required.” City officials are planning to “save the gas company” and have appropriated SIO,OOO for preliminary expenses in the fight. ‘FAREWELL TO THEE’ Drape Andy Jackson’s Statue In Honor of Lost Cause.

‘Bert’ — That’s What Mrs. Hoover Calls the Next President

BY RUTH FINNEY Written for NEA Service PALO ALTO, Cal., Nov. 9.—There never perhaps has been in the White House a woman of such varied accomplishments and interests as the new First Lady-elect, Mrs. Lou Henry Hoover. For instance, she wanted a quiet visit with her father, a few years ago. So she set out with him in an automobile and drove all the way from Washington to California. But that is only a small part of the picture. This woman who. in her college days, majored in geology because she liked it and spent her leisure moments delving into ancient Latin in order to translate a book on geology that moderns did not possess, is an unusual sort of person. You may find her engrossed in a children’s party, or reading an abstruse book, doing fancy work or talking politics or world affairs. You may find her deep in household matters or equally deep in public work, the sort of thing she does for girl scouts. But whatever she is doing at the moment, she is doing it well. That, probably, is the keynote of Mrs. Hoover. She is capable and she is assured. A few days before election a friend asked Mrs. Hoover if she were not nervous. “Oh, not at all,” she answered, smiling. “I have lived with this young man for twenty-six years.” In a very real sense, Mrs. Hoover is confidante and companion of this man who is to be President. Yet it is scarcely accurate to say that her husband confides in her. Back in the college days, this companionship began with the translation of that ancient work on geology. They did it together. In all the years since they have done everything together.

ASKS RASKOB LIQUOR VIEW Michigan Anti-Saloon Body Quizzes Democrat Chief on ‘Majority Rule’ Speech. By United Press DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 9.—The Michigan division of the AntiSaloon League today asked John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee if he and his friends intend to “comply with the law, by abstaining from use of intoxicating liquor.” “I wish to congratulate you,” wrote the Rev. R. N. Holsapie, superintendent of the state league, “on the character of your statement over the radio on election night and the high note of loyalty to American institutions and policies sounded therein. “You said, ‘the verdict of the American people has been rendered, and in accordance with Democratic principles, we accept the will of the majority and shall take our place in the ranks of the majority of American citizens. . . .’ “Now,” continued Mr. Holsapie, “the chief issue stressed by Governor Smith was a change in the prohibition law. The effort of yourself, as repeatedly expressed, was to rid the country of the ‘damnable affliction of prohibition.’ “In view of the fact that the voters repudiated the suggestions along this line, together with your public statement, are we to understand that you mean in cheerfully accepting ‘the will of the majority’ you and your friends intend to comply with the spirit of the law by abstaining from the use of intoxicating liquor which was procured in violation of the, law? “Will you obey the letter of the law by refusing to patronize those who violate it through the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors? “Perhaps it should be assumed that your statement implies that, but I am sure you will pardon me for asking for a slight amplification of it in order that we may be sure.” HELPLESS SHIP ADRIFT Keep Lookout for Schooner on Pacific Coast.

Maddocks of the Coldstream Guards, was killed at Brooklands today, when his single-seater airplane fell i,OOO feet.

George Strieker hopped out and stood guard over the sack while the chase continued. Finally the police forced her to a stop at Capitol avenue and Ray street. Then they drove back and found the sack contained two empty tin cans such as are often used to hold alcohol. As the cans were empty, speeding and reckless driving were the onlv charges they could place against Mrs. Hild.

MARMON URGES CITIZENS OPEN PURSES FOR CHARITY

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, NOY. 9, 1928

IT is impossible to classify Mrs. Hoover as a type. She is not a “modern woman” nor an “old-fashioned” woman. She is a woman who would in any time and place stand out as a distinct personality. Yet definite and forceful as her personality is, she is a woman who has learned the difficult art of suoordinating herself to her famous husband. She, by the way, calls this famous husband “Bert.” Throughout the campaign, with its slogans and catch words, the public failed to hit upon this nickname for its new hero. But it is the one she uses. Mrs. Hoover has fluffy white hair which never was bobbed. She has keen blue eyes, observant, and intelligent. She dresses very simply. She has no jewelry. With the money with which she might purchase precious stones she buys beautiful pictures. 800 B ,B B IN the business of being hostess, Mrs. Hoover has had wide experience. In the days soon after marriage, when her huband occupied a position of importance in China, she was called on to preside over semiofficial ei ’ irtainments. But skilled as she is in every possible social situation, Mrs. Hoover is not interested in society as society. She has let it take very little of her time in Wahington. In the White House she will, doubtless, do the minimum amount of entertaining demanded by the position. As distinctive as her simplicity of manner, dress and life is Mrs. Hoover creative ability. She designs the patterns for the elaborate pieces of needlework she does. She designed the beautiful Hoover home in Palo Alto.

TWO DEAD IN ADTO CRASHES Small Boy and Woman Are Critically Injured. Two men are dead and two persons, one a 6-year-old boy and the other a woman, are in critical condition as the result of automobile accidents in Indianapolis, Thursday night. The dead: Thaddeus E. Summers, 26, of 840 South Westbrook avenue. Fletcher Matthews, 44, Negro, 2217 Martha street. Summers was injured fatally when his automobile was struck at 5100 West Washington street by a machine driven by Hoffman Detrick, 1245 V/est Ray street. He died in city hospital at midnight from a skull fracture and internal injuries. Matthews was killed when his truck was struck by a train at Kentucky avenue and the Belt railroad. Although the train was traveling only ten miles an hour the truck was hurled fifty feet. Mrs. William Summers, riding with her husband when the crash in which he was killed occurred, was injured seriously. She is in critical condition in Indiana Christian Hospital suffering from severe scalp lacerations and probable internal injuries. Detrick, driver of the other car, was injured slightly. He is held in the city hospital detention ward charged with assault and battery and driving a motor car while intoxicated. Coroner Charles H. Keever said he would file manslaughter charges against him. Nick Hociago, 6, of 1227 Nordyke avenue, was injured seriously when he darted into the path of a motor car in front of his home. He was taken to city hospital suffering from a brain concussion and possible internal injuries. SLAYER IS REPRIEVED Stay Execution Pending Review of Case. By United Press COLUMBUS, 0., Nov. 9.—Charles Hoppe, former Toledo chaffeur condemned to die tonight for the kidnaying and murder of 7-year-old Dorothy Szcelagowski, Toledo, obtained another brief reprieve today when Edward C.

PROGRESSIVES LOSE POWER Some Means of Punishing Bolters to Smith May Be Evolved. BY KENNETH G. CRAWOFRD United Press Staff Correspondent k WASHINGTON, Nov, 9.—The socalled progressive bloc in the senate faces a dreary future despite the success of its individual members in the general election. Deprived of its balance ct power and apparently deserted by several of its members, the western independents virtually will be powerless in the next congress. The progressives are powerful in the present senate because of the almost equal division of Democrats and Republicans. Republicans will have a big majority in the next senate. Fifty-five Republicans, thirtynine Democrats and one FarmerLaborite will constitute the membership of the next senate, unless late returns in some of the close states change the outcome now indicated. Survive Hoover Landslide The progressives who were elected are Senators La Follette, Wisconsin; Frazier, North Dakota, and Howell, Nebraska, Republicans; Wheeler, Montana, and Dill, Washington, Democrats, and Shipstead, Minn., Farnier-Laborite. Their success in surviving the Hoover landslide will give the progressives the same numerical strength in the next Senate that they enjoy now if all members of the group continue to vote together on major legislation. This, however, is considered unlikely, Some of the progressives, notably Senators Borah, Idaho, and Brookhart, lowa, were among Herbert Hoover’s stanchest supporters and may act with the administration in the next congress. Should the progressives retain their unity, they will not have sufficient strength when the Hoover congress comes into office to combine with the Democrats and outvote the administration as they often did at the last session. May Punish Bolters Furthermore, most of the progressives’ policies were espoused by Governor Alfred E. Smith in his presidential campaign and his overwhelming defeat is certain to be interpreted by the conservatives as a rebuke to the progressive cause, making it more difficult for progressive senators to win conservative support for their measures. What treatment the Republican progressives who deserted their party during the campaign will receive in the next congress is uncertain. Senators Norris, Nebraska, and Blaine, Wisconsin, openly indorsed Smith and La Follette refused to indorse Hoover. Some punitive action may be taken by the Republicans against Norris and Blaine. In 1924, the Republican progressives who supported Robert M. La Follette rather than President Coolidge were excluded from party caucuses and deprived of their patronage.

COMMUNITY FUND DRIVE IS LAUNCHED; GOAL IS $781,800

Marmon Makes Appeal to Volunteers to Boost Drive Over Quota. The Community Fund drive toward a total of $781,800, is under way. • It was launched officially at noon today when volunteer workers in the campaign met for luncheon in the Claypool. The drive closes Nov. 19. Approximately $247,000 already has been pledged to the fund, in pre-campaign solicitations, it was announced by the six division chairmen at the luncheon. Pre-campaign solicitations last year totaled $262,144. Placing emphasis upon the necessity for reaching this year’s goal, Chairman Walter C. Marmon declared that if this sum were not raised the city’s thirty-seven social service agencies would be crippled during 1929. “Some of the larger agencies, notably the Family Welfare Society and the Public Health Nursing Association, have been called upon during recent months to meet exceptionally heavy demands,” Marn on said. “Organized charity in a city as large as Indianapolis eliminates duplication and waste. The Community Fund plan is now followed in 315 cities, and no city can boast of a better, more efficient management than we have in Indianapolis. More than ninety-three cents out of every fund dollar goes directly into social service. No report luncheon will be held Saturday, announced Homer W. Borst, executive secretary of the fund. Beginning Monday, report luncheons will be held at the Claypool each day, except Saturday and Sunday, until the campaign ends. Community Fund programs will be presented by children at school No. 30 and at No. 37 tonight. SAVE SUICIDES’S BABE Child Born Five Minutes Before pother’s Death.

Not So Dumb Speechless Boy Blows Suit by Defending His ‘Dukes.’

By United Press NEW YORK, Nov, 9.—The mother of Hyman Fried map, 5, was suing a big department store for $50,000. One of its delivery trucks, she testified, had struck Hyman when he was an infant, injuring his brain and depriving him of the faculty of speech. The judge plied Hyman with questions, but no result. Hyman remained dumb. So he sent the boy, with a court attendtn, into a private ante-chamber. "Listen,” the atendant whispered confidentially to Hyman, “I’m your friend. Somebody told me your playmates were whipping you. Is that right?” “No!” Hyman shouted. Rising in defense of his pugilistic ability. he became almost voluble. Justice Gibbs dismissed the case as “the most outrageous example of attempted fraud I’ve ever seen,” and ordered Hyman’s mother, Mrs. Anna Friedman, held in SIO,OOO bail on perjury and conspiracy charges.

COUNCIL DIGS ITSELF IN FOR LONG BATTLE Session Just Another Siege of Watchful Waiting by Rival Factions. ALL WEAR POKER FACES Each Side Is Too Wary to Act in Case of Indicted Members. Sliding into seats at the octagonal table about which bounty officials and reporters once whiled away nours between indictments and elections with indulgence in poker, che naitonal indoor pastime, seven crafty gentlemen of the genus courthouse politico today dug themselves in for what promises to become the great, unparalleled marathon Marion county governmental poker game. The seven men who apparently have set out to play a game which may take from three months to a couple of years are county council men. Sitting with them, ready to send out for sandwiches or anew deck now and then, is County Auditor Harry Dunn. The stakes is controlled by the county council, which tells the county commisisoners how much they can spend, if any. The rules are a combination of Marquis of Queensbury, the hijackers’ code and catch-as-catch can. If it’s possible to slip an ace under the table and avoid a bullet, slip, brother, slip. Two Councilmen Indicted Yesterday the grand jury indicted Councilmen Paul Dunn and Grant Moore. Dunn, the grand jurors averred, wasn’t quite truthful when he swore he owned a piece of property in 1925 which he hadn’t acquired until 1928. Moore, the grand jury objected, got a 20 per cent cut in a countj gravel contract, well knowing that it wasn’t condoned by best legalj minds. Which, of course, wasn't nice of the grand jury, on the eve of an important council session. The atmosphere was tense, if not intense, when councilmen gathered this morning. As the council stands, the George V. Coffin Republican faction controls four and the C. Otis Dodson faction three members of the council. Members Dunn, John Shearer, Dr. Sollis Runnels and President George M. Montgomery line up with Coffin. Members Moore, James Edwards and Frank Cones are with Dodson. Two-Thirds Vote Ousts Under the law, the council by two-thirds vote can oust any member for grave misconduct. Expectation that one side or the other would start something along this line gave rise to the belief that today’s session would be historic. But nothing but the big game of waiting for the other side to make the first move happened. All except Moore and Dunn were seated about the table (which was the field of many a hot poker battle twenty years or so ago when a certain room on the fourth floor was known as “McGregor’s den”) when Moore arrived. With forced jocularity the members greeted him all around. He sat down and started figuring with pencil and pad. Fifteen minutes after roll call, Dunn arrived and started to lay aside his coat and hat. In the midst of the struggle he stopped and remarked : “No, I won’t leave them here. Someone might steal them.” He took them to the sheriff’s office across the hall. Dunn Helps Himself When he came back there was no vacant chair. A reporter remarked aloud: “Look’s like Mr. Dunn has been unseated.” “Oh, they’d steal anything around here,” rejoined Dunn and seized himself a chair while the council politely guffawed. For the next seventeen minutes the seven gentlemen devoted themselves assiduously to governmental poker, reading ordinances for bond issues, including the $620,000 issue for the county’s share of flood prevention, and restraining feelings with such effect that not one word was said about Thursday’s indictments. After the shortest session on record —just thirty-two minutes—the council adjourned. It’s Grand Mixup The session will be resumed tomorrow. Doppesters started laying side bets on the outcome of this situation: If Dunn resigns, the Coffin faction loses its edge of one vote. It will lost it anyway Jan. 1, when Shearer becomes a county commissioner. If Moore resigns, the Dodson faction loses what hold it has. Neither is expected to resign. It takes five votes to unseat a councilman. Try to find five members who will agree. No one was predicting the outcome. DRESS BETTER ON CREDIT! H. & R. Clothing Cos., 29 East Ohio St.—Advertisement.
