FIRST HOOVER BUDGET PUTS CALJNSHADE President Shows Way to Coolidge in Economy of Expenditures. MANY CUTS SCHEDULED Army Housing Program to Be Dropped; Cavalry Will Suffer. Bit Rrripps-ff otcard N etc ft paper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Presiriant Hoover’s first budget may establish a record for economy of expenditures even surpassing that of Calvin Coolidge. The budget will be presented to congress when it convenes in regular session a month from now. It will contain the administration view as to what should be spent during the coming fiscal year. Senate and house appropriations committee will scrutinize each item before it finally is approved. According to present indications, several drastic cuts in expenditures will be proposed, and no important Increases suggested. Most of the cuts about which Washington is speculating probably will be in the military and naval establishments. Army to Be Hit The entire army housing program will be abandoned, it is rumored, in addition to the $6,500,000 cut scheduled for the air program. Authorizations already have been made by congress for an extensive program of army housing, and a measure for further authorization is pending. The budget could, however, fail to allow any funds for this work. Size of the cavalry is to be reduced. Washington hears, by cutting the allotment of funds for its support. There is little probability that the budget will contain any funds for construction of cruisers under the program already adopted by congress, in view of the forthcoming naval conference. In spite of the fact that congress authorized expenditure of $26,000,000 for eradication of the Mediterranean fruit fly in Florida, a comparatively small portion of this sum will be asked in the budget, on the ground that it is not all needed.

No Great Increases There is no indication so far that Rny branch of the government will receive greatly Increased amounts for extending its work. The sum set aside for prohibition enforcement is expected to tally closely with the total spent last year. Attorney-General Mitchell has asked increased funds for prosecution of anti-trust cases, and for employing additional assistant United States attorneys, but has received no assurance that these will be allowed. The cost of taking the 1930 census will, of course, have to be included in the budget for the coming year, but this is an unusual expenditure that will not have to be repeated. Unless work on Boulder dam is halted by injunction, the first appropriation for the project also will have to be included in the new budget. However, money spent f< ■ that work is to be repaid to the ment. KOKOMO MAYOR” MADE COMMITTEE TARGET Two Works Board Members Also Hit for Fire Chief Removal. By l tmr* Sperial KOKOMO, Ind., Nov. 6.—A city council committee here has made a report severely criticizing Mayor S. E. Spurgeon and two members of the board of works for their dismissing Edgar Weaver as Are chief. When the report was read to the mayor he told members of the committee making it they had acted like a “bunch of school boys.” The report charges that Weaver was removed because he made Jackie Hammond captain of a fire station. Hammond had previously been mentioned in connection with scandals in the fire department and had testified against a former chief charged with liquor law violation.

Crepe for a Souvenir

; . ..... . •. V&’F’

“Tearin’ of the crepe.” That's what William Bosson, attorney and former city attorney under Mayor Lew Shank, is doing in the above photo at his office, 235 East Ohio street. Bosson, stanch Republican, arrived at his office this morning to find that with the burial of the mayoralty ambitions of Alfred M. Glossbrenner in Tuesday’s voting machines, Democratic friends had decorated Bosson's door with crepe. Attached was a card: “Two tickets, last stop Salt Creek. Farm Well.” With a good-humored chuckle Bosson, strong supporter of Glossbrenner, tore the crepe from the door to place it, he asserted, “among my souvenirs.”

LAKE COUNTY STILL UNDER G. (LP. RULE Gary, East Chicago and Hammond Elect Machine Men. Bu United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 6. Honors in the municipal elections throughout northern Indiana were about evenly divided, after an election day that brought hundreds of thousands of voters to the polls. Democrats were successful in their onslaughts in five important centers. South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart, Goshen and La Porte. In three cities the Democrats wrested municipal control from Republican administration. Party lines, in the majority of cases, went by the board as the citizens rushed to the polls to settle purely local controversies—it might be the question of daylight savings, as it was in Elkhart, or it might be based on charges of rampant corruption in high places, as it was in the Calumet district, but the voters went to the polls. Total Vote Only 57 The voting ranged from the Intense factionalism displayed in the Michigan City election to the apathy of La Grange. A record number filed to the polls in Michigan City, while but fifty-seven strolled to cast their votes in the uncontested Republican victory at La Grange. The strong Watson Republican machine ground out victories in the Calumet district as its standard bearers were swept to office over fusion or Democrat candidates who had based their campaigns on pleas for a general cleanup. The Republican machine in Lake county reputed the strongest Republican county unit in the nation, saw its candidates gain victory in Hammond, Gary and East Chicago. Roswell 0.. Johnson, who left the mayor’s office of Gary a few years ago to serve a term in federal prison for liquor law violation, won his fight to return to his office, in a close race with Emmet White, Democrat. Indicted Mayor Wins

In the neighboring city of East Chicago, Mayor R. P. Hale, recently indicted by the federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy to violate the dry laws, found the favor of the voters who returned him to office over his Democratic foe, Allan P. Twynam. The third of the Calumet cities, Hammond, saw the election of Charles O. Schonert, regular Republican. over William A. Kirkeiner. who ran on a Republican fusionist ticket that had the support of the regular Democrat machine in a vain attempt to break the hold of the Watson organization. Michigan City presented a case all its own. Never in the history of the state have voters gone to the polls on such a complex situation as that which preceded the election of Judge H. B. Tuthill, Republican. He obtained a margin of only 200 votes over his Democrat opponent. Mayor Fred C. Miller. More than 7,000 votes, a record for Michigan City, were cast. Court Fight Planned With his election, however, Tuthill’s troubles have begun. The Democrats will institute suit immediately to hav.. *he Republicans removed from office on the ground that their application for places on the ballot were filed one day late. Knox. Nappanee, North Judson, North Liberty, Plymouth, Argos and Bremen joined the list of Democrat controlled communities, while Bourbon. Bristol and Walkerton headed a list of smaller towns that remained under the Republican banner. lirges New Constitution Bv Times Special MUNCIE, Ind., Nov. 6 —Support of the referendum in 1930 to adopt anew state constitution was urged by Will F. White. Muncie attorney, speaking before the Chamber of Commerce here. Under the existing constitution. White said, tax legislation to meet present conditions can not be enacted.

Rumors current here place the actual loss to the bank as high as $50,000. It is said Middlestadt recently cleaned up several thousands of dollars in a bull wheat market, but lost it all in the stock slump. J. S. Treanor, president of the bank, said that at a directors meeting, where it was disclosed a shortage existed, Middlestadt expressed his intention of laying the situation before Robert Stuart, Evanston, 111., one of the principal stockholders in the bank here and who holds a position as a federal bank examiner.

In addition to his ownership of thirty shares of the bank stock, he also owned a hotel, two poultry establishments and several automobile sales agencies. He attended the Methodist church, was a member of both state and local Y. M. C. A. organizations, the Shorthorn Breeders’ Association and the Masonic and Odd Fellow lodges. Prominent in Society The Middlestadt family was active in society, the wedding a month ago of their daughter, Miss Wilhelmina, to Harold Braxton, Wolcott, a state highway engineer, having been one of the most brilliant and costly social events in the community’s history'. Mrs. Braxton, Northwestern university graduate, has been a high school instructor and last year was on the faculty of the Horace Mann school at Gary. She returned recently from a trip abroad. Lynn Thompson, White county prosecuting attorney, expects to have a warrant issued within a few days for Middlestadt’s arrest.

Har.dley has been mayor here for the past eight years. The Republicans elected B. A. Bescher, clerk; Benjamin Ball, city judge, and elected six ward councilmen and four councilmen at large. The Democrats named but two ward councilmen.

Peters Is Optimistic B 'ft!' WAYNE, Ind., Nov. 6.—The attitude of Democratic political leaders concerning the Democratic victories in key cities Tuesday, was expressed today by R.

BALLOT UPSET STIRS FEAR IN G. 0. P. CIRCLES Candidates Up Next Year for State Offices Are Worried by Vote. GLOOMY AT CAPITOL! Democrats Better Fitted for Strong Fight in 1930 Elections. Gloom prevailed at the statehousa today, due to the Democratic victories in key cities of the state. All the two-year term officials w’ill be up for re-election next fall. Sinca the ticket at that time is without a definite head, success depends greatly on local organizations. Those who will enter the campaign admitted today that the Republican upset placed them under a handicap. Offices to be voted on next year include secretary of state, state auditor, state treasurer, superintendent of public instruction, supreme court clerk, two supreme court judges and four judges of the appellate court. Congressman Up for Race Congressmen in all districts will be up for re-election, but these offices are not. considered any gTeat) help in the matter of leadership in carrying the state ticket. Since there will be no campaign for the governorship, United States senate, or President, the ticket is without a focal point. Heretofore, victory has been easy, with the local governments in G. 6. P. hands. “Victory will not be easy,” admitted Secretary of State Otto G. Fifield, in contemplating his campaign for re-election in face of the Tuesday returns. “Shifting of control of local governments to Democrats is a genuine handicap to Republican success. Our hope lies in using our defeat as a lesson in unity. Splitting of our ranks gave the Democrats their opportunity.” Auditor Is Optimistic Archie Bobbitt, state auditor, who will also bp out for re-election, put an optimistic interpretation on events. “Factionalism is the primary cause of these Republican defeats," he declared, but acknowledged that there might be many other factors involved in the Indianapolis result. “In cities throughout the state, as Evansville, Muncie, Marion and Terre Haute,” Bobbitt continued, “the hatred engendered in the primary campaign was carried over into the election. I have been told that in many instances Republicans were out openly working for the Democratic victory. “But having lost the city offices, they are likely to see the folly of such disruption and not let the county offices get out of their hands in the same manner.

Factors Must Reunite “Our state ticket success depend* on the factions getting together to caputre and keep the county offices. If they do this, and I predict they will, a Republican victory is assured for state offices.” Governor Harry G. Leslie, with a four-year term, remained undisturbed by Tuesday results. Govemors can not run for re-election. The overwhelming defeat of “Coffinism” in Indianapolis is said to hav* met with his approval. Attorney-General James M. Og* den, who also has a four-year term, was a campaigner for the Republican nominee for mayor here. He took the local defeat gracefull, but was somewhat alarmed at the spread of Democracy throughout the state cities. Judges Named for Four Years Judges are elected for four-year terms. Those retiring or up for reelection next fall are Judges Willard B. Gemmill, Marlon, and Benjamin M. Willoughby, Vincennes, of the supreme court, and Charles F. Remy, Indianapolis; Willis C. McMahan, Crown Point;; Solon A. Enloe, Danville, and Alonzo L. Nichols, Winchester of the appellate court. All are Republicans. The bench assumes the attitude that judicial positions are not greatly involved in politics, but at election time they do their best to win the prize. Here as elsewhere the loss of the local organization patronage will be a handicap. INSURANCE HEAF DIES Samuel Quinn Was Founder of State Life Company.
