COURT DEATH FORECAST FOR MANAGER LAW Supreme Bench Will Rule ‘Thumbs Down,’ Feeling at G. 0. P. Parley. COFFIN SLATE RUMORED Reported Ready With Ticket If Measure Is Held Constitutional. BY BEN STERN One hundred and ninety-five of the 200 Republican who attended the state committee* get-to-gether meeting at Lebanon Tuesday today were predicting the state supreme court would find the city manager law unconstitutional. In some mysterious manner and for no known reason, the prediction was being made Tuesday that the court would rule “thumbs down” on the law. The court’s discussion of the law probably will begin at the conference next Tuesday, the first session of the court since its recess a month ago. Not Vote Getters Along with this prediction was the assertion that the Indianapolis City Manager League ticket of seven was doomed to defeat, because of “vote-getting inability.” Marion county organization men confidently predicted that George V. Coffin, the city and district chairman already was “picking the ticket” to be ready should the court declare the law unconstitutional. “Cap is going to put out. a city manager ticket with some of the finest business men of the city on It, if the law is held constitutional,’ Coffin supporters said. But Sheriff George Winkler, who was named as mayor on the organization slate declared, “Well, it looks as if I may be mayor.” All of these things are straws indicating that the possibility of the law being found unconstitutional is far from remote, it was rumored.

Strurk Ont Part However, the next day Judge Myers struck out the part declaring that he concurred in the conclusions finding the city manager law constitutional. Prom this action, observers see the court divided two and two on city manager questions with Judge Myers holding the deciding vote. Attention to the supreme court also was focussed by the persistent rumblings that Judge Benjamin Willoughby of Vincennes will not be a candidate for re-election in 1930 Three candidates for the post have reared their heads in the first district, Bruce Cooper, First district chairman, declared. These candidates are: James H. Blackburn of Mt. Vernon: Morton MacDonald of Princeton, and Judge Thomas B. Coulter of the Knox circuit court. A short session of the state committee was held while the guests heard John K. Ruckelshaus of Lebanon read messages from Will H. Hays, Senator James E. Watson and Arthur B. Robinson and M. Burt Thurman, national committeeman. Purnell Talks Talks were made by Miss Mary’ Sleeth of Rushville. state vice-chair-man; Miss Genevieve Brown, supreme court reporter, and Fred S. Purnell, Ninth district representative in congress. Purnell outlined the accomplishments of the Hoover administration during the first six months of his incumbency, and Miss Brown discussed “Women in Politics.” The committee reported that It had indorsed Ewing Emison of Vincennes. Second district chairman, for appointment to the federal court of claims at Washington. The committee also considered a rule giving the committee authority to oust a member for cause and another giving the women members of the committee the vote in accordance with recent legislation. Action on these two rules will be taken at a meeting to be held soon. PAINT COOLIDGE ‘NEST’ Decorations for Honeymoon Home Gift to Couple. flv United Prc NEW HAVEN. Conn..

NO DOGS ALLOWED!

DaweSy Pet Chow Are Separated

BY STEWART BROWN United Pres* Stag Correspondent LONDON. Sept. 11.—Ambassador Charles Gates Dawes has found that the old American adage, “love me, love my dog,” does not apply to the British sanitary and customs officials. Although the British are very fond of the American ambassador and highly praise his frankness and “refreshing diplomatic methods,” they refuse to let sentiment rout official regulations in regard to his pet Chow dog, “Chung.” For this reason, the ambassador’s beautiful Chow, who was separated from his master at Southampton in June by the sanitary officials, still is a virtual prisoner in the hands of the British government.

SENATE LINES UP TO DECIDE ON VARE CASE Issue Is on Immediate Vote or Delay Until December of Ouster Action. BY PAUL R. MALLON Cnited Press Stiff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Sept. 11.—The Vare case crowded the tariff bill from the senate stage today, when the same forces opposing each other in the tariff debate lined up to decide whether Senator-elect Vare of Pennsylvania should be ousted officially now, or whether the senate should wait until December to do it. A survey of the situation indicates the senate is three to one against Vare being seated either now or in December, but there is a closer division on the point whether the vote should be taken at this time. Republican Floor Leader Watson claimed he had a majority for delay when the senate adjourned late Tuesday, but he was doubtful whether he could maintain his majority today. The opposition forces claim they had a majority ready for an immediate vote on the Vare case Tuesday and will preserve it today. “There is no reason why we should wait longer,” said Senator Norris. Republican i'Neb.l, author of the resolution to deny Vare his senate seat because he spent SBOO,OOO in his primary election. . A peculiar situation has developed in the unusual case with the Republican $600,000,000 tariff bill as the background. At first Republican leaders were agreed to throw Vare overboard because it seemed the only thing to do, unless they wanted to delay the tariff bill indefinitely. Vare’s friends wanted to make another fight, and his counsel asked the leaders to seek to postpone the issue until the regular December session of congress.

CO-ED BANK ROBBER IS DEFENDED BY HUSBAND

By United Press _ _ _ NEW BRAUNFELS. Tex., Sept. 11.—A young attorney, whose voice rose sharply at times ih his challenge of prospective jurors, was the object of never-ending glances of curiosity from farm people who crowded into the tiny county courtroom here today to see Becky Rogers and to hear her young husband defend her.

When arrived at Southampton he received a brilliant welcome and at the same time was told politely and firmly that his dog must be quarantined six months before it could be admitted to British society. General Dawes did not argue. Perhaps he thought that several months of the sentence might be skipped in his instance —proof of the saying “love me. love my dog.’ But three months of the six months’ sentence have passed and still the officials show no signs of relenting. Chung has been taken from Southampton to a govern-ment-approved dog hospital in Kensington, not far from the bassador’s London residence. Henry Dawes, nephew and secretary of the ambassador, told the United Press correspondent he paid a weekly visit to the dog home and found Chung in excellent health and enjoyng his enforced confinement. The ocean voyage did not agree with the animal, but the excellent care given him since by the English vetenarieans has put him back in the pink of condition. He is reported even learning to obey orders given in cockney accent. Young Dawes said that the animal recognizes members of the family and is overjoyed when one of them honors him with a visit. When Chung is released, he will enter his master’* home at Prince’s Gate.

Bu United Press LOS ANGELES, Sept. 11.—The state called new witnesses today in the trial of Mrs. Lois Pantages to support the damaging testimony of a contractor and a railroad machinist that the theatrical millionaire’s wife was intoxicated and was driving recklessly when her automobile killed Joe Rokumoto, Japanese gardner. The contractor was Harry J. Lederbrink. He said he encountered Mrs. Pantages two blocks from the corner where she collided with Rokumoto’s automobile and that she was zig-zagging at one corner and blocking traffM because of a stalled engine at another. Says She Used Oath His offer to assist her wassgreeted by an oath, Lederbrink testified. “Was Mrs. Pantages, in your opinion, under the influence of intoxicating liquor?” Deputy District Attorney James Costello asked. “Yes, sir,” Lederbrink replied. Cyril Holmes testified Mrs. Pantages drove down Sunset boulevard in a zig-zag fashion and finally sent her automobile careening to the wrong side of the street and into the machine occupied by the gardener and his five children. “The little sedan went to pieces and children came flying through the top—on to the pavement,” Holmes said. Struck Car Head on “Nearing Serrano street she angled to the wrong side of the street. The sedan in which Rokumoto was driving just had about stopped. Mrs. Pantages’ car hit it head on.” William D.

Mrs. Pantages listened calmly, occasionally conferring with her husband, Alexander Pantages, who faces trial on a charge of attacking 17-year-old Eunice Pringle. Mrs. Pantages displayed no emotion when Mrs. Turuko Rokumoto, the widow, took the stand to testify her husband was driving the party home from a cemetery when the accident occurred.

LAKE COUNTY PROBE OPENS' 4 y Several Dry Agents Among U. S. Witnesses. Bu United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind.. Sept. 11.— The northern Indiana federal grand jury today started its investigation of alleged graft and wholesale violation of federal laws in liquor and drugs in the Columet region. Included in persons brought before the jury was a number of prohibition agents who were understood to have testified in regard to recent raids in East Chicago in which 136 persons, including the mayor and chief of police were arrested.

the committee in going to the bottom of the affair. As outlined to the United Press, the administration hopes the committee will select a hard-hitting counsel from the staff of the department of justice and then compose itself more as a jury than as an inquisitorial body while the counsel goes after the facts. The senate today was to adopt a resolution authorizing the naval committee to investigate. Before witnesses are called, the committee is expected to provide itself with all information regarding William B. Shearer and the Brown-Boveri Company, the Bethlehem Ship Building Company and the Newport News Ship and Drydock Company, against which President Hoover lias complained. One of the reasons outside, fulltime counsel is suggested for the committee is that Mr. Hoover's advisers do not want any legalistic lapses which might provide technicalities under which either the companies or Shearer could escape prosecution if such seems warranted. If high officers of the navy are involved in any irregular practices they will be sacrificed without hesitation, the United Press understands. Suspicion does not now point to any officer, but in the thorough investigation demanded by Mr. Hoover. it is recognized that one or two may prove to have been overly enthusiastic.

STOLE TO PAY DEPOSITORS, BANKER SAYS President of Colorado Institution Admits Nevv York Fraud. SAVED HOME FOLKS ‘Paid’ $200,000 Debts to Prevent Ruin; Calm at Arrest. Bu l'nited Press NEWCASTLE, Wyo.. Sept. 11 Assuming the role of a modern Robin Hood. C. D. Waggoner, the Telluride (Colo.) bank president, whose Main street shrewdness cost Wall Street's wizards $500,000. confessed here today he alone conceived and executed the gigantic New York bank swindle to repay depositors for losses they sustained through closing down of large mines, owned by eastern and English interests, and withdrawal of deposits by owners of those properties. Within a few hours after his arrest at Chambers Park, a resort north of here, Tuesday night, Waggoner dropped his assumed manners of the suave eastern financier for the simplicity of the small town business man. “Im glad it's all over,” Waggoner said. “I knew it was coming and was not surprised when officers found me. “I suppose I shall go to jail for the rest of my life. The way I feel now I don’t know whether I shall even hire a lawyer when I get to Denver.” Got Nothing Personally Waggoner declared he had realized nothing personally from the transactions and his only aim was to save the bank at Telluride and prevent the depositors from losing. A man of 54 years, slight, and unprepossessing, Waggoner, after he had changed back to his "working clothes,” appeared tired and worried by the ten-day hunt, for him. He told his story as rapidly as possible. “My bank had deposits at one time of $1,750,000. The mining industry went to the bad. I wanted to get some money for the Telluride bank that the New 7c ork banks couldn’t get back. "It was my belief it would he better to have the banks of New York lose than the people of Telluride, who had "worked all their lives to save the money which was in my bank. “First, I sent the coded telegrams and then went to New York and presented the drafts which transferred the r. >ney from the Chase National bank to the credit of the Bank of Telluride.” Tells of Swindle He described the swindle which amazed Wall Street. The telegrams, which Waggoner said he wrote and filed himself, written in bankers’ code, were sent from Denver to New York banks asking credits for tremendous amounts. On Aug. 31, Waggoner appeared in New York, identified himself, and the New York banks, accepting the telegrams from the Denver banks as authentic, honored them and Waggoner collected $490,000 in certified drafts. As he dined alone Tuesday night! two officers entered and he was m prisoner. The officers were ready for any emergency that might be expected from a desperate westerner, cool and calculating enough to take half a million dollars away from financiers. But they found a mild mannered, smiling man who yielded to arresfc and said: “Sit down and eat with me." Paid Bank's Debts Waggoner paid $260,000 debts of his bank with the bogus credit while in New York The Central Hanover bank released collateral of this amount and mailed It to the Telluride bank. When the swindle scheme was revealed, a scramble was started immediately for these “spoils.” The federal government was enlisted because the package of collateral was sent through the mails. The state of Colorado wanted the collateral because it would greatly boost stability of the Teliuride bank. Federal postal authorities ordered the package to be delivered to the Colorado town after aid of Colorado's senators. Waterman and Phipps had been enlisted. State Bank Commissioner Grant McPherson said he would endeavor to save the funds for the Telluride bank while the New York banks, it is indicated, will endeavor to recover losses through the courts.
