CANDIDATES USE BODYGUARDS IN BITTER CONTEST East Chicago Hectic as Indiana Cities Await Voting Tuesday. En -t Chicago, with candidates employing bodyguards, is providing the most, excitement as Indiana cities prepare for state-wide municipal primary elections to be held Tuesday. Threatening letters have been received by four prominent citizens. One of the letters is now in the hands of postal authorities. The fight is ranging between the \Tavor R. P. Hale , and Callahan forces. Predictions that "somebody •' ill get hurt before this is over" are heard frequently. Rut in contrast to the hectic East Chicago situation, there is almost total apathy in some other cities. At Bloomington it is predicted the primary vote will be the lightest east in years. Quirt at Marion Forty candidates are seeking nominations at Marior but the citizens refuse to become excited. Political leaders confess they can not assign a reason for the indifference. Columbus voter; are taking little Interest. Candidates dashing about distributing cards and trying to "whoop >r up" find citizens inclined to discuss Sunday movies, the Hope bank failure, farm relief—in fact, almost everything but city politics. Old city residents say that never in the last fifty years has there been such a lack of interest. Thirty-seven in Race Although Kendallville has a record breaking list of thirty-seven candidates, little interest is manifest and there has been only slight activity on the part of candidates. At Wabash and Rensselaer, the voting Tuesday will be a “cut and fined" affair so far as the Democrats are concerned, as there is no contest for any nominations on their ballots.

FEDERAL JUDGE CONDEMNS RAD RAID WARRANTS Suppresses Evidence Obtained on Paper for County Wide Liquor Search. Pji l imi s kiii cinl FT. WAYNE. Ind.. May 3.—Liquor search warrants which are indefinite as to person or property against 1 which they are to be served drew sharp criticism from Federal Judga Thomas W. Slick, when he sus- ; tained motions to suppress evi- ; dence in four cases based on raids last June. One warrant authorized search of the person and property of "John Doe in the county of Allen " The judge remarked in the course of his criticism that such instrument would permit a raid on anybody at any place in the county. The motions to suppress evidence were made by Attorney John W. Eggeman in behalf of Frank Eppel. Henry Heimsoth. Joe Wachlinger. Alex Sinkwiscz, Stanley Mill a rski. Stanley Kelok. Ralph Murphy and John Spro. In the course of his argument, Eggeman cited authorities to show that unless specified in the liquor warrant, searches can not he made legally at night, and as a result a motion to suppress evidence in the cases of Jacob Weidemann and John Gartner was sustained. Eggeman contended an. allegation! that a "buy" of liquor has been made at a stipulated place is not sufficient for a night raid, unless the judge or commissioner issuing a warrant makes notation to that effect upon the paper. Depsite the adverse ruling, the government announced it would proceed with prosecution of all those affected by the suppression; motions, asserting it had sufficient evidence to convict without, using that obtained in raids. 600 ATTEND DISTRICT KIWANIS CONVENTION State Governor of flub Head* Speakers at Shelbyville.
