MIGHTY SMASH IS ORGANIZED FOR DRY U.S. Prohibition Leaders Mass Forces for Drys as New President Goes In. HOOVER IS CHIEF HOPE Next Executive Likely to r’old Success or Failure of Measure. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER, I'nUed Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Feb. 5, Dry leaders are making plans for heavy mobilization just as Herbert Hoover takes office for they have decided he; is the chief hope upon which the success, of federal prohibition rests. They feel that if Hoover, with his reputation as an organizer, is unable to whip the prohibition enforcement weapon, nobody can and that modification is likely to be the next step. This is the situation which underlies much that is happening with regard to prohibition. Drys are backing the $24,000,000 proposed additional enforcement appropriation in order to give Hoover all of the money he will need. They would leave him no alibi so that h< could plead lack of funds in eve it of failure. Talk Prohibition Transfer Hoover already has discussed with Secretary Andrew Mellon the possibility of transferring prohibition enforcement from the treasury department to the department of justice. That is where Mellon always has thought it ought to be—in the law enforcement branch of the government. It was placed in the treasury department. because it could then be tied up with the internal revenue machinery which had administered the excise tax in pre-prohibition days and was regarded as a highly efficient organization in dealing with moonshiners. Professional drys have opposed transfer to the department of justice in years gone by but now with the prospect that Mellon is to continue for some time at the head of the treasury department and the further likelihood that Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt is to remain as assistant attorney general in charge of prohibition cases, the drys are not so hostile. Spurt in Activities Meantime, there has been a spurt of activity by drys. One of the periodic attempts to dry up Washington is afoot. The Rev. Clinton Howard, Rochester, N. Y., head of the united committee for law • enforcement, is holding mass meeting* here demanding that something be done to drive liquor out of the nation’s capital. Represpentative Pou (Dem., N. C.) in house debate on the $24,000,000 appropriation, declared liquor conditions were scandalous and that the law flagrantly was disobeyed even in the house of congress itself —which was not regarded as news here. Any one around Washington who has the time and the inclination to tell tales could regale the visitor by the hour on the subject of law observance among senators and congressmen. Major Hesse, superintendent of police here, recently proposed a law for the District of Columbia which would make the buyer of liquor equally guilty with the bootlegger. Congress for certain reasons is not very enthusiastic about this suggestion. The Federal Council of Churches has launched a drive to approach persons ‘jtvho do social drinking" and try to talk them into law observance. Some Smith Democrats here proposed to discourage drinking by suggesting guests who voted for Hoover decline cocktails. But the movement died an early death for lack of co-operation among the guests. Preach on Prohibition The nation’s clergymen have been asked to preach on prohibition March 3, the day before Hoover is inaugurated. Hoover has plenty of other prob-, lems, but it is evident the dry forces which massed unitedly behind him regardless of party in the last campaign are determined to press their case now. They bluntly say they expect Hoover to make good. In the meantime, preparations are being made for the biggest inauguration since the war. Imported Scotch already is beginning to arrive in quantities from Hagerstown. Md.. it is reoprted and Booth’s fine English gin is coming in fresh from industrial alcohol denaturing plants. Thus far prices ar steady.

Many veteran barbers in Indianapolis and throughout the state are protesting the proposed Chamber-lain-Lee bill providing for a state barber board, now in the labor committee of the house of representa.tiv6s. Led by W. H. May, 4416 Carrolton avenue, a barber for the last thirtyfive years, they are planning a campaign to defeat the bill. The veterans chiefly are opposed to the clause in the bill that requires barbers to be able to exhibit grade school graduation certificates. “That clause,” May pointed out, “w'ould throw hundreds of ‘oldtimers’ out of work, for they can not furnish the required certificates, even though they did finish grade school.” TWO STORES ROBBED Standard Groceries Entered; Loot Is $62.

HOOVER RULE TO BE ERA OF VAST PROJECTS Economy Cry Will Give Way to 'Constructive Prosperity.’ BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 5. President-Elect Hoover will inaugurate in his administration a bigscale engineering era which will bear fruit in mammoth constructive projects for inland waterway development, flood control, electric power development, irrigation and related purposes. Looking forward to continued peace and prosperity, Hoover plans an era of international development and expansion that will provide the country with many agencies discussed but never carried forward to actuality. “Constructive prosperity” will replace the now famous “economy” slogan of the Coolidge administration, which necessarily was an administration of retrenchment after a period of huge expenditures to carry on the war. Boosts Nicaraguan Canal The construction Hoover proposes naturally will require large outlays of money, but improved facilities will bring their own financial returns. He even looks beyond the borders of the United States for a development that will react to aid business in this country, the Nicaraguan canal being a project that he hopes to leave as a monument to his administration. The first engineer present in generations, he wishes his administration stamped in history as a giant constructive engineering period, with projects on every hand to bear witness. This will be evident in his inauguration address,, in which much attention will be devoted to pending projects of this nature—the Boulder Canyon dam project, Muscle Shoals, Mississippi and other flood relief measures, the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway and other proposed waterway routes, and to such discussed projects as the Umatillo and Columbia river basin projects of the northwest. For this reason, Hoover will place at the head of the war and interior departments, in which lie jurisdiction of such projects, men who have had engineering training. Inspects Everglades Problem The engineering activities of the war department will be emphasized far more than hitherto. The President-elect already has offered a sample of his purposes in the trip he has arranged for an inspection of Florida's Everglades’ flood problem, in the Okeechobee lake district, northwest of here, where 2,000 lives were lost yast year when the huricane whipped up the waters of the lake to break down inadequate levees. This trip recalls his relief activities in the Mississippi river flood of 1927, a problem of greater scope but no more acute. It is very likely that during his administration, Hoover’s keen interest in various constructive projects will inspire numerous such trips for a personal inspection of their progress. An engineer by training, he likes to get on the ground and see what is what. PROBE BRIDE SLAYING Grand Jury Asked to Indict Husband of Slain Woman.

CAMEL. GLIDE WINS GREAT POPULARITY

Thanks to the “Camel Glide,” dance lovers of the “foolish forties” and older years have come into their own. No longer is it necessary for them to take a proverbial back seat while jazz bands blare away some conglomerated tune to which only the njmblest of youths can set a rapidfire series of body contortions. This fact is in plain evidence at the Indiana Roof ballroom this week, where The Times, in co-opera-tion with the ballroom management, is introducing the “Camel Glide,” new dance which is declared by many critics to be the most graceful and the smoothest to gain popularity in years. A clipping of this story will admit one person to th| Roof tonight for the instruction class, which will be held between 7:30 and 8:30 o’clock.

DEATH ACCUSED FREE ON BOND Former Angola Sheriff Gives $25,000 Bail. By United Press ANGOLA, Ind., Feb. s,—Charles Zimmerman, former Steuben county sheriff, arrested yesterday following a grand jury indictment charging him with the murder of Thomas Burke, alleged bank bandit, is at liberty today under a $25,000 bond. He was granted bail at a hearing before Judge Clyde C. Carlin on a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Other persons arrested in the grand jury investigation of Steuben county’s alleged crime ring are: Edward Keister, George Potter, and Mrs. Aria, Phinner, all of Steuben county, on liquor charges, and Joseph Kinley, on a petty larency charge. Five persons remain to be arrested. It is understood they are all under indictment in connection with the robbery of the First National bank here last May, and are fugitives from justice. Among the five is Kirby Davis, Muncie. Following the liberating of Zimmc:man, Theodore Redmond, special prosecutor said: “It was with my consent and partly on my suggestion” that the former sheriff was admitted to bail. To combat a plea for bail It would have been necessary for the state to disclose Its evidence against Zimmerman which it dod not want to do before opening of the trial. The investigation centered around the finding of a charred body of a man, said to have been Burke, in a burned barn; robbery of the bank and alleged official corruption in connection with rum running.

It is not the product of one mind, but rather, the combination of several step* which have appeared on the Roof floor during the last few weeks as the result of new tunes which seem to be the vogue at this time. “This new music is of slower tempo. It has what we term a sweet tune, and for expression needs dance interpretations somewhat similar to those we found for waltzes many years ago.” Thursday night is the last of the free instruction classes, he said.

STANDARD OIL MELON CUT TO AID STEWART $443,000,000 Dividends Is Regarded Bombshell in Proxy War. STEWART IS CONFIDENT Decision to Split Earnings Comes on Last Day for Stock Transfers. BY JAMES K. MARTINDALE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Feb. s.—The phycliological effect of a $443,000,000 dividend voted by the directorate of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana may prove a determining factor in the proxy fight between Colonel Robett W. Stewart and the Rockefeller interests for control of the billion dollar oil company. Announcement of the division of $115,000,000 of surplus earnings in the form of a 50 per cent stock dividend and a cash dividend of 50 cents a share on the increased capitalization, as well as the regular quarterly dividend of 62 Vi cents, was seen as a dramatic move by Stewart to obtain proxies for his reelection as chairman of the board. The action came within a month of the annual meeting of stockholders at Whiting, Ind., March 7. which promises to climax one of the greatest and most picturesque financial struggles in recent years. Clever Coup by Stewart Observers agreed Stewart had effected a clever coup in announcing the “melon” on the last day allowed for the transfer of stock of the company for voting in the annual election. Despite the fact that the 4,675,000 new shares created by the stock dividend can not be voted, the impressiveness of the directorate’s report undoubtedly will work in favor of Stewart. Stewart’s associates denied that the “melon” was declared lor the purpose of influencing stockholders but the reaction, it was admitted, may see an extensive change in previously signed proxies and result in a swing to the present management. The 58,000 stockholders of Indiana Standard have been divided between the financial accomplishments of the dominant westerner and his younger bpponent, John D. Rockefeller Jr., who has demanded Stewart’s ouster for moral and ethical reasons, namely involvement in the Continental Trading Company deals. Large eastern stockholders whose ancestors cast their fortunes with John D. Rockefeller Sr., in the formation of the Standard companies, have been understood to be supporting the moral battle being waged against Stewart by the younger Rockefeller. The aged wizard, John D. Sr., himself, has come out of seclusion to announce that he Is supporting the policies of his son. On the other hand, employe stockholders, and the present director-, ate. consisting of men who have prospered under Stewart’s administration. have supported their leader, defending his refusal to testify before a senate committee which resulted In his indictment for perjury and later acquittal. The characteristics of the two opponents have added greatly to the fight—Stewart, son of a blacksmith, reared on the western plains, a Rough Rider with Roosevelt, challenging the Rockefellers’ domination in the world of oil. Echoes in Cleveland Colonel Stewart, confident of victory, refused to make any statement, apparently willing to let the dividend announcement speak for itself. ♦ His associates pictured the move as a “bombshell” thrown into the rockefeller camp. They did not even dignify with reply the suggestion made by Senator Walsh that stock- • holders sue Stewart for interest on the unclipped coupons of the Continental Trading Company bonds. Echoes of the battle for proxies, which both Stewart and Rockefeller have sought in letters to stockholders, were,heard in Cleveland where efforts are being made to break the will of Mrs. Margaret Huntington McCarthy, Greenwich, Conn., which left an estate Including SBOO,OOO of Standard stock. Attorneys said the stock would be voted for Stewart, FORMER CITY TEACHER MAY GET HERO MEDAL 1 Carnegie Award Desired for Bravery in Auto Crash Fire.
