CONFIDENCE IN . FLIER’S ABILITY SWAYSINQUIRY Pilot in Crash Fatal to Five Was Army Officer and Experienced. Ru Unit'd Prrtis AMARILLO, Tex., Dec. 31.—Confidence in the flying ability of Lieutenant Robert H. Gray swayed deliberations here today into the cause for the wreck of a Texas Airport Company plane in which the lieutenant, his wife and three prominent business men were killed. Ending a series of pleasure Jaunts with his visitors at the air field which he managed, Lieutenant Gray took off in a passenger plane accompanied by his wife, C. M. Dillon, manager of a lubricating oil firm; Robert Moore, filling station owner, and R. L. Allison, manager of a tire company here. When the plane mounted to about twe hundred feet it slipped into a nose dive, turned over three times and plunged to the earth. Dillon died on the way to a hospital. The others were dead when spectators reached the slightly damaged plane. Witnesses said they noticed loose wires trailing from the rudder, indicating the plane was completely out of the pilot’s control. Lieutenant Gray had a record of distinguished service as a World war pilot. After the war he lived in Australia until he returned to the United States three years ago. Since then he had been employed by commercial lines in this country’ Two weeks ago Lieutenant Gray was transferred from Dallas to the local airport as division manager for the Texas Air Transport Company. Lieutenant Gray and his wife left a 15-months-old orphan son. PLANT SITE SOUGHT Hu Unit'd Prefix VALPARAISO. Ind., Dec. 31.

Pauline Garon, former wife of Lowell Sherman, holds no grudge against her ex-hubby and isn’t the least bit jealous of the girl who’ll be her successor. When Helene Costello announced her engagement to Sherman, Miss Garon wired her: “Congratulations on your forthcoming marriage to Lowell. May. you both have years of happiness.” Miss Garon is shown above. All three are movie stars. LAUGH CURE EFFECTIVE Aged Newspaper Man Is Recovering From Mince Pie, Honeymoon.

6.0. P. FAILURE AT POLLS NEXT YEARFORECAST 1929 Party Discord Brings Additional Hopes to Democratic Rivals. BY BEN STERN. Discord in the Republican ranks and a strengthened and confident Democratic party are the net political results of 1929 in Indiana. Party leaders conclude that a Democratic state and county victory in 1930 may become a reality as a result, not of Democratic policies or endeavor, but because of the vicissitudes which have befallen the Republican party. Bankruptcy of southern Indiana state aid schools, will weigh heavily in favor of the Democrats unless aid is forthcoming speedily. There will bo difficulty In obtaining the re-election of a Republican legislature because of this problem. Republican township trustees, school superintendents and teachers in forty-nine southern counties, will join in the battle to repudiate a legislature which, fully cognizant of their financial plight, failed to give relief during the 1929 session. Criticism is being piled high on the administration of the state department of public instruction, because of what is alleged to be

“empty promises” of relief. This may result in defeat of Roy P. Wisehart, in his campaign for re-election as state school superintendent. The Lake county political corruption investigation, if it has not resulted in indictments on this charge, at least has convinced thousands that there is something reprehensible in the manner in which elections are conducted in that county. This is expected to react against Otto G. Fifieid, secretary of state, who will be a candidate for re-elec-tion. Fifieid came to the capital confident of being re-elected in 1930 and then garnering the nomination for Governor in 1932. Democratic leaders frankly declare they desire Fifield’s nomination because the Lake county corruption cry can be used against him in the fall campaign. Clouds have been gathering over the senatorial situation. A sharp cleavage over the question of a state chairman is expected with Senator James E. Watson, supporting the incumbent, Elza O.

Rogers, against a candidate to be put forth by Senator Arthur R. Robinson, Robinson has lost George V. Coffin, his right bower In the Seventh district, through the Democratic city victory which made a clean sweep of the Republican ticket. The showdown of strength is expected when the senators return to Washington next week and attempt to select a successor to George Foote as internal revenue collector in Indiana. Two avowed candidates for the post are: Miss Dorothy Cunningham, national committeewoman from Indiana, and Harry Nichols, third district chairman. Nichols, who may be a contender for state treasurer, has been told definitely that he will not be given the Watson support for collector. Robinson, in an effort to win the Third district, may support Nichols. City elections in the state have been preponderantly Democratic and dopesters declare this points to a Democratic state-wide victory in November, 1930. Politically, 1929 has been unkind

to Leslie. He stands practically alone. Leslie has been responsible for the elevation of John J. Brown to a commanding positi&i in his counsels and the highway director is said to be his candidate for Governor in 1932. Leslie, however, is having difficulty in convincing Republican leaders that Brown is the man who should be their choice.

Indianapolis Life Insurance Cos. 1905— 5325,000 24 YEARS of PROGRESS A Brief Sketch of Indianapolis Life Insurance Cos. HE Indianapolis Life Insurance Company was founded in 1905, twenty-four years ago, with the expressed object of providing for its members safe Legal Reserve Life and Endowment Insurance at the lowest cost. The organizers believed in the mutual principle—that the institution of Life Insurance represents the estates of millions of widows and orphans, held in trust, administered for them, giving them the benefits of the savings and profits—not an institution to be dominated and controlled for personal profit. * The business of Life Insurance was soundly established; its fundamental principles so clearly defined that there was no necessity for new experiments., This Company made none. It adhered strictly to the course tested and followed by the better companies, and it studiously avoided the mistaker that had developed in the business practices, which resulted in w r aste of the Policyholders’ money. The organizers of the Company were by sound principles and practices, and careful, f". jgj lientious management, a generous reduction in prem| _ A \>s was possible. l From a modest beginning, the Company . into the successful, fine grained institutior it is todav. It has never entered any race for size. It is essen tally a Policyholders’ Company. Its service is based the idea that mere bigness is of no advantage to Policyholders. A normal, healthy growth is all that we strive for. Quality is of more importance than volume. The Company is owmed by and operated for the sole benefit of its Policyholders. There are no Stockholders to divert savings and profits from Policyholders. It is operated for protection, not for speculation. Jt can not be bought, traded or sold. The ownership of the Company is vested in perpetuity in the whole body of Policyholders. It makes no appeal for Health or Accident Insurance. Its business is Life Insurance. Its mortality experience, therefore, is very low—less than 40 per cent of the expected. Its investments are the best quality—Bonds and Mortgages, no speculative securities —regulated by the strict Indiana investment law. Interest earned on mortgage loans over 6 per cent. During its twenty-four years, it has kept faith with it* Policyholders. It has lived up to its promises. Its dividends record is unexcelled. Its whole record is without a blemish. It has the confidence, co-operation, and good will of its Policyholders. It is still guided by the officers who started the Company nearly twenty-five years ago. 1929—597,000,000 % Leading Indianapolis Representatives GEORGE W. AXAWALT E. H. CAPEKTON ED. E. YOUNG A. C.
