FIGHT GAS TAX HIKE AS HARM TO CAR SALES South Bend Auto Manufacturer Protests Increase to Governor. That further increase in the gasoline tax will injure the sale of Indiana made automobiles within the state was anew point today in the argument of legislators looking with disfavor upon increasing state highway department revenues by $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 annually. Opposition to the bill now in the roads committee of the house of representatives, which would increase the gasoline tax from 3 cents to 4 Vi cents a gallon, centers in the St. Joseph county delegation and Is attracting recruits. Representative Ed J. Bouchard, South Bend, declared motor indus- . tries of the state are aligned in oposition to the proposed gas tax and license f:es boosts. R. A. Erskine Writes Leslie Prom Bouchard, it was learned that R. A. Erskine, president of the Studebaker corporation of South Bend, said to be the second larges*, tax paying firm in the state, had directed a letter to Governor Harry G Leslie pointing out that a 4 or 5 cent gasoline tax would amount to a tax ol 20 to 25 per cent of the price paid for gasoline. W A Bertsch, of South Bend, St. Joseph Republican chairman has appealed to the St. Joseph legislators in both houses to oppose increases. Erskine told the governor that the proposed increases would be detrimental to all Indiana motor car manufacturers because of the increased gasoline fuel expense. At the same time, Erskine said, the increases would stimulate the sale ci cheaper cars made outside of the state. .loir Bouchard The South Bend Auto Trade’s Association has gone on record against the gas tax and liense fee boosts and South Bend clubs are rapidly adopting such resolutions, Bouchard said. Eli Seebirt, former South Bend mayor, has asked David Hoover, mayor of Elkhart and Thirteenth district Republican chairman, to persuade senators and representatives from his district that the increases asked are unwarranted and detrimental to business in that section of the state. Representatives Albert R. Bernhardt and William B. Calvert, both of South Bend, are joined with Bouchard in promising vigorous opposition io the proposed bills when they reach the floor of the house.

Former Teacher in City Schools Is Heroine

FEE PROBERS TO QUIZAIMEE ‘Mrs. X' Called in Hearing on Money Paid Judge. Bu United Pres * LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 28. Aimee Semple McPherson and the “N rs. X” of her mysterious kidnaping story were to be questioned today by a legislative committee investigating a $2,500 fee paid Superior Judge Carlos S. Hardy by Angelus Temple during the court investigation of Mrs. McPherson’s asserted abduction. Issuance of suppoenas for “Mrs. X,” Mrs. Wiseman-Sielaff, and several attorneys formerly employed by Mrs. McPherson promised further revival of the evangelist’s kidnaping tale. It was Mrs. Wiseman-Sielaff who three years ago attempted to prove that she, not Mrs. McPherson, occupied a love nest at Carmel-By-The-Sea during the time of the evangelist’s disappearance. Members of the legislative committee also revealed that attorneys who represented Mrs. McPherson when the grand jury and courts asked her to explain her disappearance by the sea and her return from the desert were paid from the same fund as Judge Hardy. Mrs. McPherson will leave tonight for a revival tour in Canadian lighthouses of the Pour Square Gospel.

Drags Flaming Woman From Car at Own Peril to Cheat Death. Heroism of a former Indianapolis school teacher, Sunday, on U. S. highway 52, four miles southeast of Rushville, saved a woman from burning to death in a blazing automobile. The driver of the car, Oliver W. Katterhenry, 52, of Cincinnati, was killed instantly. Only the presence of mind of Miss Clairbell Moore, former Shortridge high school teacher, prevented a double tragedy when she saved the life of Katterhenry’s companion, Miss Ella Sussdarf, 35, of Cincinnati. Slightly Bruised in Rescue Katterhenry’s car crashed into a culvert, overturned, and broke into flames. Miss Moore heard the crash and seeing the flaming car, she seized rugs and rushed to the scene. Flames licked at the auto’s chassis, the gasoline tank. Oblivious of her own danger, should the gas tank explode, and observing that Katterhenry could not be saved, Miss Moore pulled his burning companion from the car wreckage. Wrapping Miss Sussdarf in the rugs the former pedagogue rolled her on the highway and away from the burning car. Mrs. Sussdarf suffered scalp wounds and severe burns. Miss Moore suffered slight burns in effecting the rescue. The impact of the auto’s crash knocked a cement abutment six feet off its foundation and drove the car’s motor under the front seat.

COLLEGE LIBEL SUITSETTLED Surgeon Sued by Former Ohio U. Medical Dean. By United ! Press COLUMBUS. 0.. Jan. 28—A “monetary settlement” was reachtd today in the $250,000 libel suit brought by Dr. E. F. McCampbell, former dean of the college of medicine, Ohio State university, against Dr. J. F. Baldwin, chief surgeon at Grant hospital here. # Trial of the suit began last week and resulted in the calling of nationally known figures, such as Dr. W. O. Thompson, president emeritus of Ohio State, as witnesses. The amount and details of the settlement, which suddenly brought the trial to an end, were not made public. The suit was based on a letter Dr. Baldwin was said to have written in 1927 and which. McCampbell charged, resulted in his dismissal from the university. The alleged letter was directed to trustees of Ohio State and charged that McCampbell had obtained third-year credits at Ohio State by misrepresentation. The letter said, in effect, that Dr. McCampbell had misrepresented himself by telling the trustees he wanted the credits, not because he wanted to practice medicine, bue because he was interested in tropical diseases.

DEADLY PERIL SEEN IN RACE TO RULE SEAS Hoover Faces Menace' of War With Britain in Navy Problem. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Foreign Editor, Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—N0 American president ever entered the White House with a more ticklish job on his hands than Herbert Hoover will have in the Anglo-Ameri-can dispute over who owns the Seven Seas. The seriousness of the quarrel between the United States and Great Britain daily is growing more apparent. Admittedly the spectre of war hovers black and ugly in the background. Following the sensational but reasoned warning of Ramsay MacDonald, head of the British labor party and ex-premier, that war between the two countries is a possibility to be reckoned with, Senator William E. Borah, chairman of the foreign relations committee, comes through with one of the most significant speeches heard on Capitol hill in seven years. Britain, said the senator from Idaho, must be given a chance to prove her fair intentions toward America regarding freedom of the seas, failing which, he predicted, the last vestige of the Washington treaty limiting naval armaments would be wiped out and we would find it necessary “to build net only against Great Britain, but against any combination of navies that might be brought together, leading probably to another cataclysm like that of 1914.”

Something to Think About It gives Britain and America something to think about when men like MacDonald and Borah talk like that. Neither is a war monger nor a jingo. Both are internanationally known as peace advocates and proponents of war outlawry. The two nations never faced a more difficult nor a more perilous problem. As Tennyson expressed it for all Britons, “the fleet of England is her all-in-all.” A thousand years ago Alfred the Great blockaded the Danes with his rowboat armada, and a thousand years later George V sunk the fleet of Wilhelm II at Scapa Flow to rid himself of a menace on the high seas. Now the freedom of these same seas has become vital to the peace and prosperity of the United States, perhaps to its very existence, even. And so the clash. Prior to the World war, we had a big imagination and comparatively small production. We consumed pretty much all we produced. Since the war, our immigratiaon has been curtailed and our production has enormously increased. Depend on Exports So we must sell this surplus abroad, otherwise our production must slow down, throwing millions of workers out of employment and otherwise playing havoc with our economic system. For this reason, economists tell us, our foreign trade spells the difference between prosperity and hard times. As things stand, Great Britain is in position—or is putting herself in position, by building more and more cruisers and merchant ships—to put a crimp in our foreign trade whenever the occasion to do so arises. In tthis connection, though it has nothing to do with the question of naval parity between the two countries, America’s foreign trade would go “to pot” in the event of difficulties with England for quite another reason. Distribution of American goods abroad now is largely in the hands of the British. In Central and South America', which countries I recently visited, I found British acting as agents for American products almost everywhere. This not only means that British ships are favored in transporting our goods, but, in the event of trouble, our whole distribution machinery would break down over night, even if we had freedom of the seas. Fault of American Youth To be fair to American exporters, however, it must be said that the fault is not theirs. American youths refuse to make their careers in foreign countries, whereas young Britishers are glad enough to do so and for less money. They quickly get on to foreign languages and customs and stick to their jobs, whereas American boys get homesick and return home. Our foreign trade never will be on a sound footing until this situation is remedied. Wininng from Britain the right of neutrals to use the seas, and forestalling another and perhaps deadlier race for naval armaments, the winner to rule the wave, will be as big a task as Hoover possibly can have during his administration. For another 1914 may depend upon whether he succeds or fails.

$25,000 IS LOST BY I I REMUS IN U. S. CASE

Collateral Put Up to Indemnify Surety Firm Paid Over. Another large chunk was hacked from the bootleg fortune of George Remus, Cincinnati, here today when an agreement upon a federal liquor tax penalty case was reached. Remus loses $25,000 In collateral he put up several years ago to indemnify the American Surety Company of New York The surety company pays the government the $25,000 as tax penalty, under the agreement. Suit Against Surety Firm If statements of Remus at the time of his trial for the murder of his wife, Imogene, at Cincinnati last year can be believed the collateral wiped out today was one of the last vestiges of the millions Remus amassed several years ago, when he w r as withdrawing real whisky from Indiana warehouses upon false permits and flooding the middle-west with it at fancy prices. The suit settled today was that of the government against the surety company upon a $50,000 boad insuring payment of beverage tax and penalties in case 90,000 gallons of whisky was illictily removed from the W. P. Squibb & Cos. distillery at Lawrenceburg, Ind. The case is six years old. The government contended Remus illegally withdrew the liquor between April, 1919, and April 1922, paying tax only at the nonbeverage rate when he really intended to sell the liquor for beverage purposes. Agreement Is Reached District Attorney Albert Ward and Attorney Will H. Thompson, for the bonding company, reached the aggreement to settle the case for $25,000 today. The government agreed to accept $17,000 from the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company on another Remus bond in a similar case several months ago. Remus was accused by the government of transporting the illegally withdrawn liquor to his “Death Valley” farm near Dayton. Ohio, from which his gun protected runners distributed it to bootleggers in Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Louisville, Chicago, St. Louis and other cities.

U. S. CONTROL OF BUSSESSOUGHT Regulation of Traffic to Be Congress Aim. Bv Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—A real attempt to institute regulation of the nation’s vast and growing interstate bus traffic will be made at the present session of congress by Representative Parker of New York, chairman of the house interstate commerce committee. Parker is working on a bill which would place final power in the interstate commerce commission, but in the case of bus lines operating between two or moi*e states, regulation would be primarily by joint boards of the state transportation commissions. A line operating wholly within a state already is subject to regulation. Interstate lines never have been regulated, although the supreme court held several years ago that only the federal government had power over them. The bill would give bus companies the right of appeal from joint board rulings to the I. C. C. A certificate of convenience and necessity would be required before anew line could start. The joint boards are expected to have powers over fares and schedules. The bill has been approved by the state highway and utility bodies, the railroad and electric line interests, the American Automobile Association, and bus operators. Bus manufacturers still oppose it.
