MOVE TO SAVE HIGHWAY CHIEF FROM CRITICISM Reports to Be ‘Favorable’ in Future When Made Public, Proposal. Director John J. Brown of the state highway department has a plan whereby his department and the state highway commission can avoid unfavorable comment regarding conduct of the department, it was learned today. He advanced the plan at a conference called by his friend and backer. Governor Harry G. Leslie, Wednesday. Purpose of the conference was to ‘vindicate Brown from such criticisms as have appeared from time to time in The Inrianapo11s Times,' according to the Governor’s explanation. Those attending were the highway commissioners. Brown and his new chief clerk, Ralph Simpson; Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner of the state board of accounts, and Ross Teckmeyer, field examiner of j th *tate board of accounts.

Based on Reports Times criticisms were based on reports made to Orr by Teckmeyer following a recent examination of Brown’s department. Brown’s plan to prevent such items being made public is to hold • conference with Orr and the examiners and see that the report IS favorable before it is placed on file nd made available to the press. “State departments should work together and co-operate,” Brown is reported to have said in a lengthy speech opening the conference. He failed to mention that matters finally set out in the report had been talked over may times between the two departments and one of the complaints registered by Teckmeyer was that the highway department continued to remain inactive regarding recommendations. Brown had written out his complaint for the meeting. Both he and Orr referred reporters to the Governor for an account of what transpired. Working In Harmony Leslie stated that newspaper criticism had brought about the meeting, difficulties were settled and the two departments now are ‘“working In harmony.” The highway department, he said, is carrying out the board of accounts’ recommendation and promises made to the 1929 legislature In fighting for the 1-cent increase in gasoline tax. The Governor also pointed out that the lack of an adequate accounting system in the highway department was inherited from the regime of former Director John D. Williams. He praised Brown highly, as he did recently in a speech before the roads school at Purdue university. Simpson has been placed in charge of anew accounting system being installed under direction of the federal bureau of roads. It must have approval of the state board of accounts. DEPORTATION ARRANGED Lake County Prisoner Paroled; Will Be Sent to Yugoslavia. A SIOO fine imposed on Rex Voris, in Lafayette (Ind.) city court after conviction on chages of transportation of liquor, was remitted today by Governor Harry G. Leslie.

Victims at Crossing

Railway Inspector Advises Removal of Crosses Near Tracks. Twenty-eight white crosses, mute reminders of fatalities from inter-urban-automobiie wrecks at the Emerson avenue crossing of the Union Traction railway, should be removed, David Matthews, public service commission railway inspector, advised today. He concluded inspection of the crossing after deaths of William H. Koch, 35, Ft. Wayne, and his wife Clara, 22, when their car was struck by a Newcastle-bound interurban Wednesday. Mrs. Mildred Grunert, 27, Ft. Wayne, sister of Mrs. Koch, remained In a critical condition in Methodist hospital today, from injuries received in the wreck. “Motorists count the crosses and forget to watch out for interurbans as they approach the tracks,” said Matthews. “Otherwise the crossing is clear.” Twenty of the white crosses were erected for persons killed in the Sahara Grotto bus crash there in October, 1927. Bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Koch will be taken to Ft. Wayne for burial, probably Friday. The three were en route to the home of Arthur Scholz, 1210 Gladstone avenue, to attend funeral services today for Scholz’ daughter Evelyn, 6. Scholz was a brother of the two women. At Coroner C. H. Keever’s inquest today W. R. Grandison, Newcastle, motorman of the interurban, repeated his version of the crash. Koch apparently almost stopped his auto, then speeded up, and the car skidded as he jammed on his brakes, the coroner was told by Grandison and other witnesses.

ROGERS DRAWS FIRE Leslie, at Capitol, Asked to Discuss Chairman. When Governor Harry G. Leslie arrived In Washington today to attend President Hoover’s reception to senators, he found that a letter from Luke W. Duffy, Indiana farm leader, to Claudius Huston, G. O. P. national chairman, had preceded him. In the letter Duffy declared that sentiment has crystallized against the retention of Elza Rogers of Lebanon as state chairman. He wrote that farmers feel that Rogers was unfriendly to them and that he is making a "closed corporation” of the state committee. Duffy asked Huston to discuss this with Governor Leslie and Senators James E. Watson and Arthur R. Robinson. He also recommended Ewing Emispn, Second district chairman, as a possible state chairman who would be favorable to the farm element Boy on Sled Hurt Riding on his sled, hitched to the rear of an automobile.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

I PROSPECTS FOR AUTO INDUSTRY IN 1930 BRIGHT Results of Chicago Show Highly Encouraging, Williams Says. BY SWEDE SWANSON Times Automobl.e Editor CHICAGO, Jan. 30.—“ Results of | the Chicago automobile show this i week as w'ell as from the business ; completed at all other motor shows j throughout the country this year,” ' said G. M. Williams, Marmon president, today, “Indicate a prosperous i and successful year for the companies which pursue safe, sound and intelligent policies.” Williams spoke to almost 500 Marmon distributors and dealers who gathered at the company’s annual luncheon-meeting at the Palmer house.

Marmon general sales director, presided. “This yeai will be a highly successful and prosperous year for the manufacturers who regulate production to demand, who make ample provisions for dealer profit, and who offer products that are entirely abreast of the times,” Williams said. Show Barometer

“The straight-eight type of automobile holds the center of th? motor spotlight this year and for this reason we feel that Marmon Is in a most advantageous position. Our line this year includes eights in every important price field.” In his talk, Jarrard pointed out that although the New York show is regarded as a big business producer, the Chicago show is looked upon as the barometer of business for the coming year. Therefore, he said, activities in Chicago this week indicate a successful volume of business in the spring and summer selling seasons throughout the country. “After having visited sixteen automobile shows this year and gauging the results, not only in general attendance but in sales of our own products, I feel positive that there Is no reason for pessimism on the part of the automotive industry’,” Jarrard said. “In the words of one of our important newspaper men, I am satisfied that the wise man is the man who will meet the new year looking his best and driving a

new car. Work Will Count “More sweat and less braggadocio will be the order of things this year. In short, work will count and ability will be recognized and rewarded.” Other officials of the Marmon company who spoke at the luncheon were A. E. Heiskell, vice-president, and C. J. Sherer, vice-president and treasurer With the show now past the half way mark, predictions are being made that the attendance for the week will break all records. Mr. and Mrs. Public of Chicago have certainly taken advantage of the opportunity to view the assembled array of bright and shining 1930 steel steeds. Considerable Interest is being manifested by factory executives in the coming Indianapolis auto show. The Hoosier exposition takes high rank as one of the most important shows in the country. Some of the models on display here will be shipped to Indianapolis at the conclusion of the Chicago show.

DANCING FLOOR AND BAR OPEN ON NEW TRAIN Paris-Monte Carlo Flier Also Has Compartment for Dogs. Bv Vnitrd PrciS PARIS, Jan. 30.—You can dance all the way from Paris to Monte Carlo or cover the 500 miles leaning against a mahogany cocktail bar with your foot on a brass rail while an ebony-hued bartender shakes a nonstop shaker. The most luxurious Pullman train in the world has just been put into service to link dismal Paris with the Mediterranean Riviera in fourteen hours. Other Features Among the novelties of this train are the dance floor and the cocktail bar, but other features are wireless sets which carry all the dance music, from Paris and London and broadcasted stock exchange, Wall Street and racing results. The cars are of gray maple, trimmed in silver and glass. The gray carpets fold up. the chairs push against the walls and the tables close out of way, disclosing a polish oak dance floor. If there does not happen to be dancing music in the air, the porter draws out a victrola, attaches the loudspeaker and dancing is on in every car. Mile a Minute The bar has been a great success, with its five high stools lined up against the mahogany counter. It is possible to start a cocktail in Fontainebleau and finish it in Lyons, 100 miles away for the train maintains a speed of a mile a minute. Another feature of the train is a uniformed attendant for dogs.! Most smart Parisians going to the Riviera travel with their pets. These are taken to a car which contains, in addition to kennels, an exercise ground where the attendant walks the animals up and down on leash. A special little kitchen prepares them warm meals, but they have neither bar nor dance floor.
