HOOVER TO JOIN IN PARLEYS ON DIXIEjITUATION Tennessee Leader to Be Main Conferee on Patronage. By JOHN M. GLEISBNER, Times Staff Correspondent MIAMI BEACH, Jan. 28.—Presi-dent-Elect Hoover will give attention to Southern politics and patronage tliis wek. Horace A. Mann of Tennessee, who maintained offices in Washington during the campaign and had the title oi southern manager, said j he expects to confer with Hoover; today. Mann has taken a suite in a hotei j not far from the Penney estate,; where Hoover is living, and said he has been holding numerous conferences with southern leaders. Mann also has had several discussions with Chairman Work of the Republican national committee. Just what part Mann will have in reorganizing the party in the south along the lines Hoover contemplates, has not been revealed, nor is it known whether Mann is here at Hoover’s invitation.

May Take Leading Role Persons who talked with the Tennesseean got the impression that he intends to take a leading role in political activities afiecting the south. He has not been considered as close to Dr. Work, but their conferences were regarded as significant. It was thought likely that Hoover may have brought both Mann and Work to Florida to act as buffers for him. The fact that Work resides at a hotel instead of at the Penney estate bears out his opinion. Also, Work remained behind when Hoover and the other members of his party went fishing. Mann’s activities were the cause of much speculation during the campaign. He maintained separate headquarters in Washington and the campaign was well along before his connection with it generally was known. Called Klan Link He was accused by a New York newspaper of being liaison officer between the Ku-Klux Klan and the Republican national committee and of aiding in the circulation of antiSmith propaganda in the south. Mann denied tu? charges, as did other-national commit tee officials. Mann was no, prominent in Republican councils before Hoover was nominated, and his sudden emergence caused much discussion. If he assumes leadership in the south, it will mean that he will take precedence over C. Bascom Slemp of Virginia, Representative J. Will Taylor of Tennessee. R. B. Creager of Texas and other stalwarts of previous years. Taylor and Mann are at odds, as are Mann and Robert R. Church of Memphis, well-known Republican leader.

ARREST 2.000 IN CRIME DRIVE Chicago Makes Second Smash Against Racketeers. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 28.—Nearly two thousand men and women, arrested in Chicago’s second week-end drive against the underworld, were paraded before detectives for possible identification as known criminals. Out of the 500 questioned before the regular “showup,” police detained more than two hundred, announcing that 150 gun robberies had been solved. Os the total number arrested, 1,529 actually became prisoners, the remainder either being booked and admitted to bail or released. The injustice of holding innocent persons, objected to in the round•p of 3,400 last week-end, was corrected and many persons were released after brief questioning. The week-end drive covered the entire city. Detectives and uniformed police raided beer fiats, dance halls, poolrooms, soft-drink parlors and all known haunts of the underworld. Many were seized on tne street when they were recognizee by detectives. 7 LOBBYISTS REGISTER Men Will Work for Indiana Real Estate Association Bills.

Ghost Town Three Famifies Own All That’s Left of America, Ind.

Bn Times Special t WABASH, Ind., Jan. 28. Three families own Ameriica—not the nation—but all that is left of what was once a thriving Wabash county town. America was founded shortly after the organization of Wabash county in 1835. For a time it prospered, but when the Big Four railroad was built into northern Indiana it missed America, and was routed through La Fontaine, a few miles away. Without railroad service, America’s decline was rapid. In 1881, even the postoffice was abolished. Today thirty-five lots, once part of the town site, are being used for farming purposes. The lots are owned by William H. and Rebecca Brans, Fred and Ruth Hoke and Armanda Stevens. Taxes on the land amount to only $34.70. Dcstinctively Drunk Bn Times Special PORTLAND, Ind., Jan. 28.—Mrs. Ida Dynes, Redkey, fined $lO and costs on an intoxication charge by Judge Frank Gillespie of Jay circuit court, is believed to be the first woman ever punished in such a case in Jay county’s history. She was arrested on complaint of her husband, Samuel B. Dynes. Mrs. Dynes, after pleading guilty, said she was unable to pay the fine and was remanded to jail. Confiscate Red Literature By United Press RIGA, Latvia, Jan' 28.—A report from Harbin, Manchuria, said Chinese police confiscated communtic literature when they searched the soviet trade bureau and a number of Russian shops there.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ARMY IS SPLIT OVER OFFICERS’ PROMOTION ROVv Two Factions Bitterly Battle Over Orders of War Department. BY C. J. LILLEY Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—The army promotion muddle which congress has been trying vainly to untangle for several years, is causing so much bitterness that the war department and congressional leaders are as anxious as the army officers themselves to get it peaceably settled. The army has been split wide open because of the fight and two factions of nearly equal strength have been created. One is known as the revisionists and the other as the anti-revision-ists. The revisionists number about 2,800 officers while the “antis” or “don’t cares” number 2,100. Each group includes emergency officers of the World war as well as regular West Point graduates. Each has strong following in congress and each has become highly organized for presenting its case before congressional committees. Now Up to Committee

The battleground has shifted from one side of congress to the other and now is centered in the senate military affairs committee, which is delaying action while attempting to work out a compromise. The trouble dates back to 1920 when the officer personnel of the army was increased to take care of additional officers created through the World war. In anticipation of the increase, sarmy boards conducted examinations of the officers and their records, and classified them as to the ranks which they were fitted to have. The officers accepted rank under this classification, only to discover that the war department switched its plans and rated men according to length of service. Officers who had been commissioned captains suddenly found themselves reduced to second or first lieutenancies, while officers who had been under them were put ahead. Advancement Chance Gone So many officers were grouped under the ratings of second lieutenant, first lieutenant, captain and major that a “hump” was created and chance of advancement into higher ranks virtually vanished for the majority of the younger officers. The revisionists want to return to the ratings given them following the World war and then to progress from that point. The antis want to keep things as they are, providing a system can be devised to permit them to advance more rapidly. Many of the revisionists threaten to resign from the army if congress does not do their bidding. Many of the antis threaten to do the same thing if they lose. Will Gives Husband Nothing Bn Times Special BLUFFTON, Ind., Jan. 28.—The will of Mrs. Carrie M. Runyan admitted to probate here, leaves nothing to her husband, Talford Runyan, the statement saying her only reason for cutting him off is that he has enough of “the world’s goods.” Mrs. Runyan bequeathed her estate to her four children by a former marriage.
