DRYS SEEK TO CURB SALE OF RUM VESSELS Booze Runners Hold Inside Track in Buying Back Seized Ships. THREATS HALT BIDDING Outsiders Are Warned Off When Boats Are Put on Auction Block. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1930, by United Press) WASHINGTON. March 6.—Rumrunning vessels seized by enforcement officers are being returned to the liquor racket through a loophole in federal law which the treasury department hopes to plug. Assistant Secretary Lowman told the United Press today. He said the problem should be brought before congress and the Wickersham law enforcement commission. Hundreds of vessels, Lowman continued. have been seized along the Canadian border, only to find their way back to the rum-running business because the law provides such craft, if sold, must be sold to the highest bidder. Rum runners are free to bid. Florida rum runners, he said, organized a racket on the basis of this provision. They fixed the maximum bid for a seized small boat at $10 and the maximum for larger vessels at $50. Any person daring to bid higher, thereby causing the rum runner to spend more to regain his craft, would be intimidated and possibly injured, as a warning against the seized rum boat market. Trouble Is Caused International complications arise from this situation, the United Press was informed. Many oceangoing craft, flying foreign flags in the liquor trade have been seized and sold, time and again. Six foreign flag vessels which, the United Press was informed, were recorded as rum runners which had been seized and sold back to their former owners or agents were listed as follows:

Federal ship, now the L'Aquila. which has sailed under five flags and four names. Vinces, Canadian, seized March 14, 1927. and again Sept. 20. 1929. Amaranth, English, seized Sept. 17, 1927, and again Dec. 9. 1929, under the name Mary Mother Elizabeth. Charles Edward. English, seized Nov. 10, 1927, sold and returned to smuggling trade until laid up. M. Pulido, British, seized Aug. 28. 1928, Sold to a man connected in some way with former owner, and returned to smuggling trade. Jupie, British, seized Aug. 16, 1929, sold and returned to smuggling trade. Rowboats Are Sunk Officials said this was only a partial list of larger foreign vessels which have played tag with enforcement efforts. Under a provision permitting the government to use seized vessels, some are being kept out of smuggler’s hands. Lowman said, and in the case of rowboats in the vicinity of Detroit, he said enforcement officials were smashing the hulls and permitting them to sink. "This constant turnover of seized vessels into the hands of rum smugglers is a serious detriment to enforcement,” Lowman told the United Press. “It would be very desirable to change the law, but the department of justice has been reluctant to agree. ‘‘I believe congress should be informed of this situation, as well as the Wickersham committee.” Customs officers said the law authorized collectors of ports to dispose of vessels at less than $1,000. More costly craft must, be handled in federal courts and subsequent sales are by court officers. In either case, the United Press was informed, the selling officer must let the vessel go to the highest bidder.

WEATHER WILL VARY Warmer, Colder Forecasts Issued for State. Capricious as a flapper, March will change her mind in apportioning weather to Indiana at least twice within the next three days, according to forecasts from the United States weather bureau today. Today, and perhaps tonight she will smile benignly as she lavishes south winds on Hoosierland. But early Friday she may toss rainclouds over the state. Then, late Friday, north winds will dispel another promise of spring, and temperatures are to fall to below freezing Friday night, probably returning to above forty over the week-end.

POLICE DRAG CANAL IN SUICIDE PROBE

City police today are investigating two alleged suicides and a third man, missing, who left a "good-by” note. Dragging of the canal near Eleventh street for the body of a suicide who left a farewell note in his hat on the canal bank will begin today. The hat and note were found by a passerby, turned over to a pharmacist in the neighborhood, and then given to police. The hatband bore a dry cleaner’s number, 2,586. Disappointment in love motivated the supposed suicide, the note indicated. "Good-by little Ruth; may God forgive me," it pleaded. “I am no good. Don't tell brother. This had to be.”

PROBE BARES $1,000,000 IN FAKE POLICIES Inquiry Shows 500 Insurance Woodmen Documents Lack Valid Basis. SIXTEEN FACE CHARGES Lodge Officials, Detectives and Anderson Authorities Investigate Case. By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., March 6.—Developments are coming rapidly in the investigation of an alleged scheme that has already resulted in accusation of sixteen persons of defrauding the Modern Woodmen of America lodge on insurance claims. Investigators from the home office of the lodge at Rock Island, Ill., and local authorities with the aid of private detectives have discovered that the company not only paid two $3,000 insurance claims through fraud, but also paid deputies connected with the local office amounts ranging from $5 to $30 for insurance policies issued to fictitious persons. There are more than 500 of these bogus policies in existence calling for death benefits in excess of $1,000,000. Fake names and addresses are written on applications for the insurance. The deputies collected money paid by the order for getting new business, paid the premiums for a brief period and then allowed the policies to lapse, it is charged. Those accused in the conspiracy are Clarence Scott, district deputy; Cowden Alexander, camp counsul; Mrs. Emma Self. Clarksville, Ark.; Hoyt Self, Clarksville, Ark.; Claud W. George, camp clerk; Jesse Douglas, former deputy; Thomas Muncie, Ben Gladden, Herschel Hudson, Douglas Seal, Wilfred Seal, C. B. Morrow, William Oakes and A. A. McMillen, all deputies, and Benny Hudson, beneficiary of a $3,000 death claim. Scott. George, Alexander and the two Selfs have been arrested. Jesse Douglas is serving a term in the Indiana reformatory for burglary. The others are fugitives. Most of the accused officers of the lodge here have been suspended by the general office.

Hard to Stop By United Press ST. CHARLES. Minn., March 6.—Municipal Judge Salmon W. Gleason, 97, has started another four-year term with an “I told you so” to those who voted against him in Tuesday’s municipal election. “I will be only 101 when candidate for at least one Gleason more term, although I don’t expect to remain in office all my life.” Judge Gleason defeated S. F. Clarkson, nearly two to one. “The people have returned me to office every four years since 1899.” the judge said. “I didn’t make much of a campaign.”

The epistle was unsigned. Body of Paul G. Weiss, 62, of 342 Limestone avenue, was found early today in the garage in the rear of his home. The automobile motor was running. and Weiss is believed to have inhaled carbon monoxide gas to end his life. Ill health was given by relatives as reason for his suicide. The widow and children told police he had threatened several times to kill himself. Coroner C. H. Keever today continued attempts to identify the body of a 70-year-old man who shot and killed himself in Garfield park Wednesday, after mailing a letter to the coroner in which he outlined instructions for his burial. The letter to the coroner was signed “H. E. Emerson,” but the name does not appear in the city directory.

SPEED DEMON OF BRITAIN HOPES TO SET AUTO RECORD BY KAY DON Famous English Auto Racer (Written for the United Press) NEW YORK. March 6.—Raising an automobile speed record that already stands at 231.36 miles an hour, I realize is no easy task, yet I am confident that I shall be so fortunate as to accomplish this feat on the sands of Daytona Beach during the latter half of this month. When I make the attempt In my Silver Bullet I shall have by far the most powerful car that ever has been used for records, either in America or abroad. The primary problem has been one of horse power and small frontal area in all the years that record-making has been attempted. My Silver Bullet will have more than 2,000-horse power available to carry it along the smooth sands where practically all the worth-while records of recent years have been made. It will have two engines, each one more powerful than the single engine which carried Sir Harry Seagrave to his remarkable record in his Golden Arrow.

In addition to having sufficient horse power to drive the car at great enough speed to create anew record, the car itself is so wonderfully well designed, both from the standpoint of streamlining and stability and controllability, that, granted a good beach, anew record is reasonably well assured. Really the most important detail of a high speed car is its tires. For it is axiomatic that a car can be only as fast as its tires will permit. I have been assured that the tire equipment on my car will be safe up to a speed of 300 miles an hour. # # # I HAVE often been asked how fast I expectt o go. I can't answer that question, because there are so many factors involved. My car will have a top speed of 260 miles an hour, with as much safety as one can hope for traveling at such speed. I do not mean to infer that I shall drive the record mile at that rate. I would be fortunate, indeed, if I might hope to cover the measured kilometer mile and five-kilo-meter course at the top speed of the car. However, one need not be considered unreasonable if he were to prediet a speed within fifteen or twenty miles of the top speed of his car. If I am so fortunate as to accomplish this, I shall have raised the world land speed record from ten to fifteen miles above the present mark, If weather and beach lend their assistance to a perfect car performance, the mark may rise above my prediction.

MY car has been designed and built under supervision of Louis Coatalen, chief engineer of the Sunbeam Motor works, who for years has been interested keenly in the problem of superspeed cars. Few people know more about this subject than Coatalen. The first car ever to travel 200 miles an hour, the Seagrave 1,000-horse power Sunbeam, was built under the direction of Coatalen. He has had no part in subsequent record making until the Silver Bullet, a creature of his wonderful mechanical genius, was evolved. This is my first visit to America. I have heard a great deal of Daytona Beach’s sand course, and I am looking forward to my visit there. My party expects to leave New York for Daytona in a few days and rush tuning of the car, preparatory to going for the record some time between March 15 and March 30.

FALL KILLS WOMAN AID AT SEA PARLEY

By United Press LONDON, March 6.—On the eve of her joyfully anticipated return to the United States, Mrs. Pearl Demoret of Washington, acting secretary to Henry L. Stimson, fell from her window in the Mayfair hotel today, and was killed. The accident cast pall of gloom over the entire American delegation to the naval conference, with whom Mrs. Demoret was exceptionally popular. Mrs. Demoret’s room was on the sixth floor of the hotel, and she fell forty feet to the street. Taken to St. George’s hospital, she died at 3:30 a. m. Police reported their belief that death was due to accident. An inquest will be held Monday. The tragedy came after a day in which Mrs. Demoret had said goodby to her friends on the delegation,

Marie was pleased at his marriage to Princess Helena of Greece, and further evidence of her liking for Greece was seen in the marriage of Princess Elizabeth of Rumania to ex-King George of that country. Marie’s third child, now Queen Marie of Jugo-Slavia, is happily married to King Alexander. Only the two younger children of Marie and Ferdinand, Prince Nicholas, 25, and Princess Ileana, remain unmarried. It is stated that the

Archibald Hall Files for Race to House Seat

Archibald M. Hall

Announcement was made today by Archibald M. Hall, Indianapolis business man and prominent Republican worker, that he will be a candidate in the May primary for the Republican nomination for representative in congress from the Seventh district. Hall has been active in politics for twenty years but neyer has held office. He opposed Ralph Updike for the nomination to congress in the primaries two years ago. Hall filed a recount suit in circuit court following the May, 1928, primary when returns showed Ralph E. Updike, then congressman, defeated him by 3,000 votes. Hall lost in the recount. Hall is well known as a public speaker and was chairman of Albert J. Beveridge’s speakers’ bureau during the- late senator’s last campaign. He is a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity, and the Scottish Rite and Knights of Pythias lodges. “It is my purpose and desire to serve my party and country in the best manner possible and I shall appreciate the support of all good Republicans in the next primary,” he said.

and in which she had been honored by Mrs. Stimson, who presented her with a bouquet as a going-away gift. She was due to sail on the President Harding from Southampton today. Mrs. Demoret had been homesick, it appeared, ever since her arrival with the American delegation in London. Consequently her release for the journey back had cheered her amazingly, and she was radiant with its approach. She roomed at the Mayfair with Miss Hurley Fiske, another stenqgrapher of the delegation, who left the room for a moment about 1 a. m. Hearing a noise behind her, Miss Fiske rushed back into the room, to discover her roommate had disappeared through the window. Mrs. Demoret was bom in Salem, O.

queen would be pleased to see Nicholas married to Princess Marie Christina, second daughter of the king and queen of Spain, now in her eighteenth year. But what are the plans of the lovely and lonely queen for Ileana, youngest of her brood? Naturally the unfortunate ending of her first love affair was a blow to Marie. Must she always listen to the voice of the prime minister when she plans the future happiness of her baby girl? Perhaps Egypt will provide some inspiration. Marie is a very human queen, after all.

DUDE KING OF GANGSTERS IS SLAIN IN AUTO John Oberta Is Taken for Ride by Rival Thugs and Shot to Death. BODYGUARD IS KILLED Feud Fever Flares Anew in Chicago: Highway Cops Find Bodies. By United Press CHICAGO. March 6.—Guns in Chicago gangland, silent except for occasional splutterings since the St. Valentine’s day massacre of 1929, claimed two more victims Wednesday night, a member of the gang ‘‘400” and his bodyguard, and made the wife of the late notorious Tim Murphy a widow for a second time. John (Dingbat) Oberta, who rose from an uneducated ‘‘bad boy’* around the stockyards to an immaculate cane and spats night club figure with the advent of prohibition and its illegal beer traffic, was the chief victim. Kidnaped with his bodyguard, Sam Malaga, Oberta was driven to a lonely highway west of Chicago Ridge, a suburb, in his own $4,000 Lincoln automobile, by enemies, supposed to be members of a rival rum-running gang headed by Joe Saltis. Shotgun Ends Life A shotgun apparently was pressed against the south side gangster head and discharged. His bodyguard leaped from the machine, it seemed, and was riddled with bul lets. He was found in a muddy ditch, strangely the very position which Frank McErlane, ‘‘toughest” of the tough south side boys, had told police a few days ago to look for four assailants who entered his hospital room and tried to assassinate him. “Look for 'em in a ditch.” McErlane, credited with originating the “taken for a ride” phrase, told police who questioned him as to who had attacked him in the room, “they are rats, and they will die like rats, in a ditch." McErlane is still at his home with four bullet wounds suffered in the exchange of shots at the hospital. Mrs. Oberta, a bride of eleven months, was reported near a physical breakdown in the magnificent home maintained by her husband, who operated a florist’s shop as well as being a member of a clique of beer runners headed by Spike O’Donnell. Found by Highway Police Less than two years ago, Mrs. Murphy was widowed when her tall husband, notorious gangman and labor leader, stepped to the door of their home and was riddled with bullets. County highway police passed the spot where Oberta’s car was found about 7 p. m., and when they returned at 9:30 p. m. they made the grewsome discovery. Police said Oberta and his companions had been frequenting a roadhouse on the southwest side, and apparently the slayers haul kidnaped him when he was leaving. Another machine escorted the victim on his last ride and picked up the actual killers, police believe. Oberta. one of the swankiest of gangmen, first gained notoriety when he was indicted several years ago with Joe Saltis and Lefty Koncil for the murder of John (Mittens) Foley. The case was nolle pressed after Saltis and Koncil were acquitted. Active in Politics He became active in politics in the Thirteenth ward two years ago and was elected Republican ward committeeman, but was defeated for re-election. He often was arrested, generally while dressed in evening clothes, but never convicted of any crime. One of Oberta’s last known acts was to act as best man for Sergeant James Burns of the Cleveland police force, who was married Feb. 27, to Mrs. Florence Masterson Richter, a widow. The event was celebrated at a huge dinner in a Loop hotel and attended by 200 guests, including, it is said, Joe Saltis and Terry Druggan. Oberta paid the bill.
