POWER BATTLE LOOMS IN RAGE FOR JUDGESHIP Watson Boosts Sparks for Anderson Post; Robinson Is Silent. BY BEN STERN Despite reports emanating from Washington that Senators James E. Watson and Arthur Robinson had reached an accord on the selection of a successor to Judge A. B. Anderson, retiring member of the federal circuit court of appeals, war clouds loom which are expected to result in a showdown of power between the Indiana senators. It was authoritatively learned today that Senator Watson is definitely committed to the candidacy of Judge Will M. Sparks of Rushville, with Fred C. Gause as second choice. That there may be aneed for a second-choice candidate for the beuch is pointed out by members of the attorney-general’s office, who cited the age limit of 60 for bench appointments Age Is Handicap Sparks is said to be 57 years old and may be able to qualify. So far there has been no expression from the Robinson forces regarding Spark’s candidacy. “Senator Watson would like very much to see his old friend Judge Sparks appointed,” M. Burt Thurman, Indiana Republican national committeeman, who returned today from Washington, declared. “There has been the closest of friendship between the two. Gaause Second Choice “If however. Sparks is stricken off i the list by the attorney-generai’s office it is extremely probable that Gause will be second choice,” Thurman declared. This is expected to bring the show down for power, as Robinson is not expected to concur in this choice inasmuch as Gause is a partner of Arthur L. Gilliom. former attorneygeneral, who bitterly fought for Robinson’s seat in the 1928 primary; and also because Gause was one cf the jurors of the court selected by the supreme court to pass on the contempt of court guilt of the Rev. E. S. Shumaker. Anti-Saloon League head. Gause concurred in the opinion of guilt. Tire Robinson forces have remained strangely quiet, while it is known that they are concentrating their efforts behind his law partner, Fred A. Symmes.

POWER PAPERS HEARING SET Ownership of Four Dixie Dailies in Dispute. Bu United Press AUGUSTA, Ga.. July 25.—Judge A. L. Franklin of the Richmond superior court here, has issued an order to William Lavarre to appear in court on Aug. 5, to show why he should not place stock in four papers, purchased by himself and Harold Hall, in the hands of Thomas J. Hamilton, receiver of the four publications. Two Spartanburg (S. C.) newspapers, one in Columbia, S. C., and the Augusta Chronicle were purchased by the two men with funds furnished by the International Paper and Power Company. Stock of the four papers amounts to $870,000. Hall brought an injunction against Lavarre a month ago to halt a stockholders' and directors’ meeting of the Augusta Chronicle, which he said was to be held to elect officers suitable to Lavarre, and asked the appointment of a temporary receiver. Lavarre denied Hall’s claim of half ownership in the four newspapers.

If you will take one half a teaspoon of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water every morning for 30 days— You will feel so good—so energetic and the urge for activity will be so great that you will immensely enjoy a daily walk of several miles—and lose fat. Why will Kruschen Salts make this great change for the better in me—it is natural for you to ask. Because Kruschen is a blend of the 6 vitalizing salts Nature says your body must have to keep every organ, gland and nerve in the body buoyantly healthy. While you are losing fat you will be gaining in energy—in endurance —in ambition. Your skin will grow clearer and your eyes will sparkle with the good health that Kruschen brings. Just try one 85c bottle of Kruschen Salts; it will last you 30 days. After you have taken one bottle the old arm chair won't hold you any more—you'll want to be up and doing—you’ll enjoy work and active recreation and you'll sleep like a top. You’ll lose fat and probably live years longer. Get Kruschen at any Hook’s Dependable Drug Stores or any live druggists in America.—Advertisement.
