0. 0. P. MOVES TO BLOCK 1930 POLLS OEFEAT National Organizations May Become Active in All State Elections. BY BEN STERN National organizations of the Republican and Democratic parties will be active participants in the 1930 county, district and state elections, it was indicated today. Reports are prevalent that national Republican money will be spent in Indiana in order to forestall a possible repetition of the Democratic victories scored in city elections two months ago. Loss of Indiana by the Republicans woulo Indicate disapproval of Hoover farm policies, the equalization measures and other administration policies. It might indicate the state’s deflection from Republican ranks in 1932. Democrats Strengthened The national Importance of the campaign in the state next fall has strengthened a desire for harmony in Democratic ranks. With this in view, a series of coniorrnces has Ivon arranged to give leading Democrats a voice in organization problems The first will be held Jan. 17 e> state headquarters here. Candidates, policies, reapportionjnent and the state-aid problem will came under the purview of these advisory committees. Democratic ranks are knit firmly, v hile Republicans have broken into a number of factions. No matter how much oil G. O. P. leaders may pour on the troubled waters, the turmoil Is bound to remain. The first sign of this is the attempt. to organize a protest against lhe “love feast” in honor of the elevation of Senator James E. Watton to the post of senate majority leader. The protest was fomented so strongly that a message from Washington today declared that Watson proposed postponement of the testimonial dinner in his honor, to a date near Washington’s birthday. Senator Watson declared that he believed the vote on the tariff bill would come during the week set for the dinner and. as majority leader, he could not leave Washington. Opposition to the renomination of Secretary of State Otto G. Fifield and Roy P. Wisehart, superintendent of education, also is developing. and is expected to Involve the Republicans in a factional fight of the first magnitude. Apportionment in Fore Apportionment has come to the fore as the greatest question. Indiana must be apportioned into eleven congressional districts oy 1932. If a Democratic house of representatives is elected, it will be able to block any legislation tending to give Republican counties control. If such a legislature is not elected, the congressional lines will be so drawn as* to give the Repuolicans the edge. Governor Harry G. Leslie is being urged to call a special session of legislature, ostensibly for the purpose of state aid relief, but really to take advantage of the G. O. P majorities in both houses to make a reapportionment which will be favorable to Republicans. Candidates and organization problems will be paramount at meetings of the editorial associations of both parties. The Republican Editorial Association will meet here Feb. 6 and 7. Allen C. Hlner, president of the association, and Harry C. Fenton, secretary of the state committee, have gone to Washington to obtain a speaker for the dinner. The Democratic Editorial Association will meet Feb. 17 with Claude Bowers, keynoter at the Houston convention and historian, as the principal speaker.

The number of deaths per year in states registering such cases rose from 2.198 in 1918 to 4,627 in 1928. Rate of death from drinking was highest in Delaware, where in 1928 the ratio stood at 11.9 for every 100,000 people. Maryland was next with a rate of 7.8 and New York third at 7.5. Utah statistics showed the rate there to be the lowest in the country—o.B per 100,000. FRENCH SCIENTIST DIES Internationally Known Mining Engineer Called by Death.

MAYOR ACCUSED IN LIQUOR PLOT MAYBEHEARD Defense of 20 Opens in Federal Court at Hammond. Bp United Press HAMMOND, Ind.. Jan. 14.—Mayor Raleigh P. Hale of East Chicago, chief target of the government in its prosecution of an alleged liquor conspiracy case, was expected to take the witness stand in his own behalf here today. Arguments on eight motions for directed verdicts were started when Judge Thomas W. Slick opened this morning’s session. Only twenty defendants were in the prisoner’s dock of the forty-one originally indicted, when court opened today. Three were eliminated on nolle prosse motions by District Attorney Oliver M.

The government's case, charging a “wide open” city under Mayor Hale and Police Chief James Regan, also a defendant, with hundreds of dollars paid daily for protection of liquor And vice resorts and accusing the mayor personally of outlining racketeering territory in return for election support, was completed Monday when the fiftyfirst federal witness testified. Mayor Hale and nearly all the remaining defendants will take the stand to deny charges, defense counsel said. These and a number of character witnesses will make up the major part of the answer to the charge. District Attorney Loomis indicated the government has several surprise witnesses in reserve, for use in rebuttal, if defense testimony opens the way for their appearance. Hearing of defense witnesses, expected to number nearly fifty, probably will extend through Thursday, with possibility that Mayor Hale may know 7 his fate before the end of the week.

MUNI DOES SEVEN THINGSJVERY WELL Take Your Time When You See ‘Seven Faces,’ Because It Demands Attention and Some Serious Thought. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THERE are a lot of people who can do several things well, but when they have to throw a seven, well I have my doubts. But to throw a seven in a talking movie is still another story. This man Paul Muni started his legitimate career under another name and so when he went into the movies, he put his name in such a way that it could be pronounced and remembered. To get to my specific point, this man Muni gave us who write in public a lot of concern about his first picture and it just about became one of the ten best. i

He now comes back and does seven different characters in such a complete makeup that he becomes the great character actor. In all stories created for a star, there are many defects, but the great acting on the part of Muni in seven different characters stops all argument. You first see Muni as the keeper or watchman or guide in a w 7 ax works. For tw 7 enty-five years ne talks to these wax figures, and he loves Napoleon, the prize fighter and the rest of the figures. In this w r ax shop is a love nest in which nice people meet for a kiss and a real understanding when society prohibits a visible expression of it. And so Muni, as the guide and keeper, gets near to life and then he goes into his great dream. That is w T hen he impersonates six different characters in the wax w r ork. The voice and the spirit is there in each character. Here is great work. I hope it has been done with that proper respect to box office so that this man may develop in his owm artistic way. I hope this man never goes WTong. He really is too big to sacrifice. And so in “Seven Faces” you will see a picture that will demand your time and study. The start is slow, but when you get underway in your interest you will have a great time. Write and tell me what you think of Muni in “Seven Faces.” Now for the vaudeville. I will consider the bill interesting because of the master of ceremonies work of Harry Hines. Here is a man who knows his amusement oats. He knows how to get his audience by direct talk and make all of us like it. He brings a good spirit of fun to the stage. “Opera vs. Jazz” compares the two different types of music in a rather so and so way. The attempts at opera remain just attempts. Not too startling. The man who is supposed to iepresent modern music is rather sad. Curly Brooks is a Negro dancer, who has real tap dancing feet. When he gets warm, this man knows how to tap the feet. Now at the Lyric. Other theaters today offer: Condemned” at the Palace; “Hell’s Heroes” at the Indiana; “Footlights and Fools” at the Ohio; burlesque at the Mutual; movies at the Colonial; “Romance of Rio Grande” at the Apollo; “Sally” at the Circle; movies at the Granada, and “The Man With Red Hair” at the Circle. f Place Orders With Os BABY CHICKS Accredited hatcheries, Blood Tested.

MAYOR FAVORS BUYING UTILITY Water Company Deal Would Not Affect Finances. Proposal of former Mayor L. Ert Slack that the city utilities commission study advisability of the city purchasing the Indianapolis Water Company will be considered by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. Sullivan today expressed the belief that it would be desirable to have city ownership and control of the utility, if “it can be bought at a fair price.” Pcinting out that many utilities are listed at “excess value." Sullivan declared it is whollly a “matter of financing.” Criticism of Slack's suggestion that the city should asquire the water company property and control lands along city streams, on the basis that the city is not in financial condition to take over the utility, was without foundation, it was pointed out, because the property would be bought with bonds issued against the city utilities district and not the city general. The bonding margin of the dty general of about $3,000,000 under the limit fixed by statute would not be affected under a financing plan to buy the utility. “That is a fine thing to consider,” commented City Engineer A. H. Moore. “I’m much interested in the subject, but have not posted myself sufficiently to express an opinion.” said Ernest C. Ropkey, city council president. '.‘l'm studying the situation carefully, however.”

PAPAL DECREE ON EDUCATION IS CRITICISED Child Should Follow, Not Fight, Laws of Nature, Says Educator. By United Press NEW YORK. Jan. 14.—Dr. Thomas H. Briggs, head of the secondary education department of teachers' college, Columbia university, takes sharp issue with the papal encyclical on education. “The pope manifests keener Insight than the American public in his perception of the importance of education to attain definite and desired ends," Dr. Briggs said. “I differ radically, however, from the pope as to what those ends should be. “Seemingly depending on revelation, he believes children are born in original sin: must be kept in segregation which is found nowhere else in life, and educated for a life after death. “On the contrary, depending on certain ascertainable facts, I consider children at birth nonmoral, their education should be to follow, not to fight, the laws of nature, so that they will be better able and better disposed to contribute to the welfare of society." COUNTERFEIT BILLS OUT $lO Notes Bearing Seal of Chicago Bank in Circulation. Counterfeit $lO federal reserve bank notes are being circulated, Indianapolis federal officials and banks have been notified.
