LESLIE TO SHUN G, 0, P, PARTY AT EVANSVILLE Presence of State Office Candidates Believed Real Reason. BY BEN STERN When Republican office holders of the statehouse break bread and share the salt with First district Republicans at, the Lincoln day banquet in Evansville, Feb. 12, the face and form of Governor Harry G. Leslie will not be counted among those present. Leslie will address a patriotic rally and banquet in Greenwood sponsored by the American Legion post that night. This banquet gives Leslie the “out” on attending the First district rally at w hich various candidates lor renomination to state office will be present, it was pointed out. Among candidates who have made reservations already are: Otto G. Fifleld, secretary of state; A. N. Bobbitt, state auditor; Charles Blederwolf. supreme court clerk; Supreme Court Judge Willard B. Gemmill, Roy P. Wisehart., state superintendent of public instruction; Solon A. Enloe, Alonzo L. Nichols and Charles F. Remy, appellate court judges. Shadow of Doubt Accompanied by other state officials and assistants and clerks the delegation of •’statesmen” will attempt to display to the First district organization the solidarity that exists among them. But the empty chair of Leslie is expected to cast a shadow of douot upon the belief that all is harmony. Members of Leslie’s office stall will be present, but in all probability they will not participate in the eulogies of the martyred president. By some, Leslie’s absence will be taken as an indication that his acceptance of the Greenwood invitation was prompted by the belief that if present at Evansville, candidates would take the opportunity to put out feelers for support or make announcements. If Leslie remained silent, or refused commeiu. it would be construed that he gave tacit support to their ambitions. Mark of Approval Fifleld may take advantage of the strategic opportunity to announce his candidacy and appeal for southern Indiana support. All eyes then would be turned to the Governor, who either would have to express his best wishes to the secretary or preserve a discreet silence that might be construed as a mark of approval. If this should occur, Leslie would be placed in a peculiar position, because his party alliances differ from those of Fifleld. Fifleld repeatedly has intimated that if successful this fall he w’ould be a candidate for Governor in 1932. This may not agree with the Governor’s ambitions for any protege he may be developing as a successor.

DISCUSS CONTINUATION OF POLICE-FIRE BAND Board of Safety to Confer With Chiefs Kinney, Voshell. The question of continuing the present police and firemen’s band was considered today by the board of public safety. The present band has been in existence six years. Charles E. Myers, safety board president, advised a committee of band members that the question would be discussed with Chief of Police Jerry Kinney and Fire Chief Voshell. Myers indicated the police and firemen's emergency fund committee, which annually stages the police and firemen's circus, would be continued. All members of the former committee, except Voshell, have retired from public office, making reorganization necessary. BANK DECISION UPHELD Supreme Court Holds Woman Is Preferred Creditor. Decision of Marion probate court making Mrs. Marie S. Black a preferred creditor of the defunct Tuxedo State bank was upheld Tuesday by the supreme court.

KOHLER LAUGHS AT COURT RULE IN OUSTER SUITj Wisconsin’s Governor Sees Promise of Return to Life of Sport. By United Press MADISON, Wis., Feb. s.—Wisconsin’s millionaire Governor wa3 in high humor today and his friends said it was because a state supreme court ruling, that he must face ouster proceedings, held the promise of release from public life; and a return to flying, horseback riding and keeping up with the boxing game. Governor Waiter J. Kohler, who put color in America’s bathroomr with the lavender bath tubs and i aquamarine wash basins of the $44,000,000 plumbing corporation, of which he is president, was drafted for political service. Ready to Quit His stormy administration has led him to remark many times that he would be glad when he could go back to River Bend, his castle-like home at the town bearing his name. That attitude on the part of the Governor brought dismay into ranks of his supporters today. They feared the action of the supreme court on i Tuesday in reversing a circuit court j decision and remanding his case for j retrial would influence Governor j Kohler against seeking a second j term. The ouster action, which was | started soon after Governor Kohler’s j inauguration last year, was based on charges of excessive expenditures j during his campaign. Two File Charges After the wealthy manufacturer defeated the candidate of the La Follette progressive faction, P. F. La Follette, brother of Senator R. M. La Follette, and William F. Evjue. editor of the Madison Cap- | ital-Times, brought charges that j Kohler had allowed SIOO,OOO to be j spent in his campaign, thereby vio- ; lating the state corrupt practices j act. An unusual family life has been j disrupted by his entrance into public j life. Four sons are the executive’s companions at home. None of them accompanied him torihe Governor’s residence in Madison. Two are in school and two are at Kohler. The millionaire and his sons are boon companions when he is with them. They ride on the bridle path or at the hurdles, skate in winter, and engage in other sports.

FRENCH DEMAND 1 MAY BLAST SEA PARLEY'S CALM; Stand for Large Tonnage Would Block Moves for Limitation. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scrippu-Howard Foreign Editor LONDON. Feb. s.—Unless indica- | tions prove wholly deceiving, the naval conference will be jarred out of its snail’s pace before this, the ; third week of its official existence, { is over. There are signs Indicating that France may spring a surprise by demanding a total tonnage approximately equal to Japan’s, the bulk of which would be devoted to cruisers, destroyers and submarines. The writer is informed that Great Britain and America are contemplating 1,200,000 tons each or thereabouts as their totals and Japan £50,000 tons. Should France demand some 800,000 tons as her global, or total figures, and refuse to alter her position, this would upset the cart, as under the Washington treaty she is allotted only 235,000 tons for battleships and aircraft carriers, leaving the rest available for auxiliary craft. Real Job Faced Since France is partial to submarines, which notoriously are Britain’s pet nightmare, the conference would be up against a real job. These forebodings in regard to the attitude of France are largely the ; result of recent maneuvers in Paris ; and London. A little over a month ago. Deputy Dumesnil gave official figures to the chamber of deputies showing that France has built, is building, or has authorized 423.000 tons of ships “possessing military value.” Now the Paris press with a significant unanimity cites different figures, namely, 713,000 tons. On top of that, the French delegation here bears out the higher figures in official communiques and Premier Tardieu cited approximately the same tonnage in an international radio broadcast, all of which is causing certain uneasiness here, lest it prove preparatory to big French demands. Italy Wants Parity The seriousness of a demand for such high tonnage for France lies in the fact that Italy demands parity and British cruiser limitation depends largely on the size of the French and Italian fleets. While j neither France nor Italy is expected I to accept the Washington treaty j ratio for auxiliaries of 1.75 to j Japan’s 3 and Britain’s and Amer- j ica’s 5, as fixed for capital ships, j any such ratio as 3 to 5 for cruisers, submarines, etc., as between France j and Britain, if insisted upon, would likely wreck the conference. British sentiment demands their

Frances White By Uni fed Press CHICAGO, Feb. s.—Frances White, musical comedy star, today had a divorce from Clinton T. Donnelly, theatrical manager. She charged desertion. Miss White testified at the hearing Tuesday that she and her former husband still were good friends. navy having a shade over any other two European powers. The writer, however, is convinced that France would not insist upon such a high figure. She might urge it as her right as the owner of a colonial empire second only to Britain’s. But once that is recognized in principle, she would assuredly accept less tonnage in fact.

RECALL JUDGES IN COUNTY PAY RECORD PROBE Attorneys Fire First Shot in High Court Fight With Officials. Nearing the close of their investigation into the county court reporters' pay roll muddle, grand jurors today heard additional testimony of judges and officials. The quiz started after judges charged an order, granting a S6OO yearly increase to reporters either was destroyed or removed from County Auditor Harry Dunn's office. In the meantime attorneys for the judges filed an answer to a supreme court writ obtained by county officials, which restrained the judges from taking any action on the increase measure. The answer contended there was no foundation for the writ of prohibition against the judges as none of the judiciary had indicated any action would be taken to place Dunn in contempt of court for not having paid the increased salaries. Hearing will be held before the high court Thursday afternoon. Witnesses before the grand jury were: Thomas Batchelor, state representative; Judges Mahlon E. Bash. Harry O. Chamberlin and Linn D. Hay; William Allen, probate court
