BANS JUGGLING DF STATE FUNDS Auditor Warns Departments ‘Transfers’ Not Legal. There will be no juggling of budgets from one state fund to another at the close of the fiscal year 1929. An ultimatum regarding such “fund juggling” was issued today by Archie Bobbitt, state auditor. It is directed to all “state officers, boards, commissions and department heads. ’ Calling attention to the ruling on this matter contained in the 1929 appropiration act. Bobbitt’s letter lays down this law: “No wrong classification of funds will be honored by this office." Giving the backgroimd for the ruling, Bobbitt pointed out that the practice of “fund juggling” has prevailed since 1925. Under this system, the department heads employ help and pay out of “equipment” or "operating expense” funds, instead of from the “personal service’’ budget. This shifting of funds took place at the close of the fiscal year. An attempt was made by the 1927 legislature to remedy the matter and the 1929 legislature succeeded in doing so. according to Bobbitt. His ruling will mean enforcement of the statute’s provisions.

Another Ogden Snooper Is

Placed Under Arrest on Serious Charge.

Robert West, 32, of 1218 Yandes street, Negro dry spy, employed by Attorney-General James M. Ogden, today faced statutory charges brought by a 16-year-old Negro girl. Municipal Judge Paul C. Wetter continued West’s preliminary hearing until Nov 12. West’s partner, Horace Lyle, 43, was arrested in a liquor extortion plot in Kokomo two weeks ago and now awaits trial before the federal district court at South Bend. Ogden announced the employment of the pair to spy on bootleggers and public officials connected with the liquor traffic several weeks ago. It was reported that they had been recommended by the Indiana Anti-Saloon League. The attorney-general did little for Lyle, but upon learning of West’s arrest today, he charged that “it looks like a frameup.” He ordered George W. Hufsmith deputy attorney-general, to investigate the case. “If this turns out to be a frameup, I intend to make it hot for somebody,” Ogden declared. West was arrested Sunday by police. The girl had obtained a warrant from the Marion county prosecutor’s office charging West with a statutory offense. I According to police, the girl de- . dares that she has had numerous I “dates” with West. West denies the ; allegations and has enlisted the ati torney-general’s aid. Lyle was arrested at Kokomo on information of Edward Nutter, proprietor of a barbecue stand. He alleges that the dry spy attempted to get him to “pay-off” for withholding information regarding a liquor purchase at Nutter’s stand. The matter was taken up by federal authorities.

HOOVER FACES BITTER CUSH OVERDRY JOB President May Be Forced to Yield to Politicians on Appointment. ALCORN CHOICE FOUGHT Connecticut G. 0. P. Leader Strongly Opposed to Attorney. Bn Scripps-llouard Xeiesvaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—Dry* and politicians are awaiting President Hoover’s appointment of a man to Mabel Walker Willebrandt’s old place in the department of justice for the additional light it may throw on the White House attitude toward patronage and prohibition enforcement. If the President fills the vacancy without regard for practical politics, it will reinforce his recent declaration to Florida Republicans that the success of his party rests upon “good government, not patronage.” But if he is forced to bow to the exigencies of powerful political influences, as he was in the case of recent Kansas and Pennsylvania judgships, the job seekers may conclude that the warning to new-made Florida Republicans was not meant for them. Attorney-General Mitchell has hinted the appointment would be forthcoming in a day or two, but he did not give any inkling on the identity of the successful candidate. Alcorn Is Opposed President Hoover is known to have favored Hugh A. Alcorn, state’s attorney at Hartford, Conn., for the place, following the action of dry organizations in recommending the Connecticut man. Alcorn is an extreme dry, personally and politically, and a forceful prosecutor. But Alcorn is a political enemy of J. Henry Roraback, Connecticut boss and friend of the President. The latter made clear during preliminary discussion of Alcorn’s candidacy that it would not be pleasing to the organization. Senator Bingham was Roraback’s spokesman in the negotiations, as he was the Connecticut Manufacturers Association’s ally in the tariff hearings. The matter has hung fire for some time, with Roraback recalcitrant. The question now is whether the President will name Alcorn because of his admitted fitness or yield to Roraback. Forced to Yield Despite the White House pronouncement on patronage in his Florida encounter, Hoover has been forced to submit to political demands in several important cases. Attorney General Mitchell vigorously opposed the selection of Richard J. Hopkins of Kansas for Ihe federal bench, pointing out that Hopkins had accepted lecture fees from the Anti-Saloon leage while serving on the state but Senators Allen and Capper would not back down. Though Mitchell had declared the Hopkins case was the "acid test” of the administration's determination to take politics out of judicial appointments, the White House found it wise to waive the point. The same was true in the dispute over the naming of Robert Watson of Pennsylvania to the bench. Senator Reed obtained this appointment after months of opposition and delay. Both nominations, however, are understood to have pleased the drys, as would the selection of Alcorn. PASTOR SAYS FAREWELL Congregation Presents Minister With S2OO Cash Gift, The Rev James A.
