INSURANCE MEN START DRIVE ON AUTO ACCIDENTS Committee Named to Study Highway Safety at Federation Meeting. A resolution providing for the appointment of a nermanent committee to study accident prevention, aspecially as concerned with city and rural highway traffic, was adopted by the Insurance Federation of Indiana at the “Homecomers” luncheon in the Riley room of the Claypool today, Indiana Insurance day is being observed. Another resolution adopted revealed the primary purpose of the federation ‘‘shall be to oppose stute or nation entering into thi insurance business except in time of war." A third resolution makes the office of the secretary of the federation a clearing house for informatoin for not only insurance workers, but for the general public.

400 Attend Luncheon More than 400 executives and representatives of insurance organizations were present at the luncheon and were impressed with the clause in one resolution opposing “compulsory” automobile liability insurance. Such insurance, it was declared, is contrary to the fundamental principles of our goveAment and therefore detrimental to public welfare. It will be the committee’s duty to furnish conatructure substitutes and make recommendations. Elbert Storei was elected president of the federation and Joseph G. Wood secretary at the luncheon, and James VL Bawden named as chairman of the 1930 Indiana Insurance day convention. Howe S. Landers, president of the Indiana federation, presided at the business session following the luncheon. Hold Banquet Tonight Radio television, will be the subject of the principal speaker at the annual Insurance day banquet at the Claypool tonight when C. Franck; Jenkins, .noted inventor of Washington, D. C., will make the principal address. Jenkins is an authority on television and inventor of developments in the field of high speed motion pictures. Two other speakers on the banquet program are: John N. Vander Vries, Chicago, manager of the Northern Central Chamber of Commerce of the United States and Clarence C. Wysong, Indiana Insurance commissioner. The “Night Before” banquet, opening social event, was held at the Claypool Monday night. Music was furnished by Connie and his band. Ralph L. Colby was entertainment committee chairman. More than 2,000 persons are attending the various sessions. The original intention of Indiana Insurance day, as introduced and fostered by Frank M. Chandler, was to get together leaders in all lines Os insurance in the state. The idea was expanded until the nine leading insurance associations of Indiana have been joined by extending throughout the country.* Purdue Agronomist Resigns LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 22.—Dr. G. N.

TRY TWO MEN OF DRY PATROL IN ROADKILLING Echoes of Lingering Death of Elk’s Secretary Seen in Case. Bit United Press ELMIRA, N. Y., Jan. 22.—Echoes of the lingering death of Jacob D. Hansen, prominent Elk of Niagara Falls, < were heard today as a federal court'jury was being drawn to decide if Frank L. Beck and Glenn Jennings, United States coast guardsmen, are guilty of manslaughter. Hansen received a fatal bullet wound early last summer when the guardsmep fired at him after he refused to halt his automobile. He said he thought they were bandits. One of the bullets entered his brain, causing blindness some weeks later, insanity still later and subsequent death. Protest arose from many sources at the time of the shooting and has been the cause for two controversies. One parley was between state and federal authorities for custody and prosecution, the federal officers winding out. Another was to have the guardsmen put into uniform. This the’/ have resisted. One of the questions to be brought out is whether the officers had orders to shoot in such cases. Beck and Jennings are charged with manslaughter in the second degree. Hansen was secretary of the lodge of Elks at Niagara Falls. He was driving home a young woman with whom he had attended a social affair at Lewiston Hill. The guardsmen commanded Hansen to halt, mistaking him for a bootlegger. Hansen stepped on the accelerator and bullets whizzed. One broke through the windshield, Hansen in the right temple, destroying the sight of his rig! t eye. The guardsmen were arrested and held for trial, but were liberated on bond after investigation.

FACE BATTLE OVER CONTROL OF DRYLEAGUE Controversy Over Increased Appropriations Flares Anew. BY CECIL OWEN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.—Controversy over the proposed $25,000,000 additional appropriation for prohibition enforcement flared anew today as dry leaders and Secretary Mellon heaped fresh fuel on the fires of debate. A major rift in the Anti-Saloon League, dominant dry organization, was apparent today. One representative of the league told the United Press a decisive battle for control of the organization appeared imminent. The joint statement by Bishops James Cannon Jr. and Nicholson attacking Mellon for his stand against the $25,000,000 was viewed as a repudiation of F. Scott Mcßride, general superintendent, who supported Mellon originally and then shifted his stand. Mellon Answers Attack In a letter to Bishop Cannon Secretary Mellon has answered the attack on his stand by pointing out the Harris amendment does not offer solution of the most pressing enforcement problems. To appropriate an additional $25,000,000. making a total of $38,500,000 for the prohibiton bureau, without making provision for more federal courts, border guards and coast vessels, Mellon said, would not assure better enforcement conditions.

Answering Cannon’s suggestion that the money be appripriated without restriction and for expenditure solely at the discretion of the treasury department, Mellon said this plan would not solve the problem of congested courts. He raised the further objection that it would place in the hands of a single government agency a vast sum which it could spend without the usual safeguards. “Such a program,” Mellon added, “would break down the ordinary safeguards of the budget system, and the effective and proper control which congress exercises over expenditures of public funds.” Divergence of Opinion Another split in the dry organization’s front against Mellon appeared today with the issuance of a statement by the Methodist Board of Temperance, prohibition and public morals, which upheld the treasury chief’s stand. But the widest divergence of opinion was disclosed within the ranks of the Anti-Saloon League where the triumvirate of Mcßride, Nicholson and Cannon was divided on ad visibility of the appropriation. When the amendment first was offered Mcßride favored its adoption but, subsequently, took a stand in support of Mellon’s attitude and against the amendment. Bishops Nicholson and Cannon then issued an official statement expressing the Anti-Saloon League’s position in favor- of the amendment. Mcßride, now in South Bend, Ind., then explained his position once more, saying he advocated the increased appropriation but also approved the treasury’s suggestion on how the money should be expended.

SENATE PUTS 0. K. ON WEST FORCABINEI Votes 54 to 27 to Confirm Chicago Man for Interior Post. BY KENNETH CRAWFORD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 22—Roy O. West, Chicago attorney, today stoou confirmed as secretary of interior to succeed Dr. Hubert Work in the Coolidge cabinet. Confirmation of the nomination came Monday from a secret roll cah by the senate despite a long and bitter fight, the last move of the opposition being their twice-de-feated attempts to have the roll call public. The vote was 54 to 27. The stubborn opposition to West came from independents in both the Republican and Democratic parties because of West’s close association in private life with Insull, Chicago public utilities magnate. Several Insull applications for power sites now are being considered by the federal power commismisslon and the opposition argued West, as secretary of interior, would be a member of that body. Senators Deneen and Glenn, Illinois Republicans, led administration Republicans who desired West’s confirmation. They denied his previous connection with Insull would projiidice his judgment as a member of the power commission. West’s friends had the advantage in the first of a favorable report of his nomination by the publis lands committee, which held lengthy hearings on the Chicagoan’s qualifications for public office. These hearings were climaxed by the testimony of West himself. West was selected by President Coolidge to take the interior portfolio shortly after Work resigned
