BILL TO DRAFT INDUSTRY FOR WAR SHELVED Universal Conscription Is j Hamstrung by Action of Congress. Hu S’ rlpps-Howard \ewtpaper Alliance WASHINGTON. April 11—The ten-year effort of preparedness ad- j locates to enact a permanent universal conscription bill, to become ( elective automatically at the outbreak of war, collapsed today when leaders of the Progressive-Repub-lican group in the senate revealed their determination to block the j measure during the remainder of j the present congress. Vigorously resisted in every congress since 1921. when it was originally presented by the American Legion, the program has now been abandoned by its supporters in both house and senate. A series of amendments approved by the house last week was described by Representative Royal C Johnson of South Dakota, one of the j chief advocates of the program, as having “actually killed the bill." Blow at Profiteering Described by its sponsors as a measure to reduce war-time profiteering and facilitating industrial mobilization in national emergencies, the proposal was attacked on the floor as an indirect route to a permanent national policy of universal military service. Representative Wainwright of New York, former assistant secretary' of war, who introduced the resolution In the present session, told the house its real purpose was “to find a way to put into effect in time of 1 war the so-called universal draft.” Presidents Harding and Coolidge j repeatedly recommended passage of j the bill, but President Hoover did | not mention it in his massage to! congress last December. Hands Are Tied As finally sent to the senate mill- j tary affairs committee today, the bill provides for a national commission of eighteen members—four from the house, four from the senate, | five cabinet members and five representatives of industry and labor— ; to study “methods of Equalizing the ! burdens and minimizing the profits ■ of war.” No funds are provided for the study, however, and the commis-sion expressly is- denied authority to consider any method for mobilization of labor. But even this egg-shell commission can not be set up until the senate shall approve the house bill. Such approval now appears to be out of the question. SERVICES ARRANGED FOR J. G. DIETZ, 82 Funeral to Be Held Saturday for Civil War Veteran Funeral sendees will be held at 2 Saturday from the residence of j Mrs. Lottie Arnold. 159 Bakemeier s street, for John George Dietz, 82. j native of Germany and Civil war j veteran, who died Thursday.

CHARGE BLACKMAIL TO IRVING WEBSTER
Indictments charging Irving Webster, Indianapolis weekly newspaper publisher, with blackmail and with conspiracy to commit blackmail, and accusing Webster of using coercion in solicitation of advertising, were returned today in criminal court by the Marion county grand jury. Handed to Judge James A. Collins by Charles G. Fitch, jury foreman, in the presence of five remaining members of the probe body, the indictments end an investigation which began when the jury indicted Ben Newman, high pressure advertising salesman and alleged accomplice of Webster, for conspiracy. Webster is charged in one true bill with blackmail, and in the second with conspiracy with Newman to commit blackmail. Names of some of the state and county’s highest judicial and gov-

THREATS USED IN EFFORTS OF DRY OFFICERS Federal Court Witness at Terre Haute Describes Intimidating Tactics. ACCUSED MAN CLEARED Jury Takes Only Five Minutes for Acquittal in Case Accusing Agents. Hu Times special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 11.— Stories of intimidation of witnesses so they would testify to cases built up by federal prohibition agents were heard in federal court here before Judge Robert C. Baltzell in the trial of Luther C. Ramsey, Bloomfield. He was acquitted on a charge of selling liquor. Raymond Moore, son of the Bloomfield town marshal, was one of two witnesses offered by the government in attempting to prove that whisky was bought from Ramsey. Moore declared that dry agents told him that unless he testified to a “buy” they would “get” his father’s job. The other witness, R. C. Cock, testified the agents told him that if he did not “remember making a buy” from Ramsey he would be “railroaded.” “At first I did not remember ever buying liquor from Ramsey,” the witness said, “but after the threat I remembered getting some, sometime between the middle of December, 1927, and the last of February, 1928.” s The jury took only five minutes to acquit Ramsey. Slaying of Youth Recalled The alleged coercion took place shortly after Wayne Lucas, said to have been an undercover worker for dry agents, fatally stabbed Delmar Oliphant, Bloomfield, high school boy. At the time feeling in the community was running high both against bootleggers and the dry officers. Two automobiles filled with men went to the home of Lucas to beat him up and were joined by a group of high school boys, including Oliphant.
Lucas w r as acquitted in the slaying on a plea of self-defense. Situation Declared Changed It was pointed out in court circles | here 'that since the incidents re- ; ferred to in the Ramsey case, the j prohibition enforcement administration has been changed and it w r as declared different tactics are now being used. The second defendant acquitted in a liquor case was Steve Starkey, Terre Haute. Dry Agent Develin, who aided in a raid on Starkey’s home, testified that liquor he had in a bottle at the time of the raid, was red, whereas liquor found in a glass was white. However, other evidence established that Develin’s bottle contained white liquor, supporting a defense contention that the evidence for the case had been “planted.” FUNERAL SUNDAY FOR DRY BUREAU LAWYER Roscoe Everett Kirkman Served 10 Years in Legislature. Last rites for Roscoe Everett Kirkman, 65, attorney attached to ! the Chicago office of the prohibition enforcement bureau and former member of both houses of the Indiana general assembly, who died Wednesday of pneumonia at the Methodist hospital, will be conducted Sunday at the Lynn (Ind.) Christian church. Friends may call at the undertaking establishment of Royster &

to be given in his honor at the Hotel Astor on May 6. The fact that this dinner is sponsored by the Merchants’ Association. and that such personages as Governor Roosevelt, Mayor Walker, J. P. Morgan, Thomas Lamont, John D. Rockefeller Jr., Vincent Astor, Charles M. Schwab and Otto H. Kahn will attend, is considered to be quite significant. Commissioner Whalen, who has been called such high-sounding names as “glorified floorwalker,” “supermaster of ceremonies” and “the gilded copper.” would continue the Walker tradition in the mayor's office.
TALKIES CLIP STARS’ SALARIES
Public Misses High-Priced Faces in New Films
BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, April ll.—ln the rush and confusion that accompanied the introduction of talking pictures, screen producers succeeded pretty generally ih knocking the top prices from the salaries of favorite stars. The reduced Income move was a quiet one and it did not affect such persons as Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickiord, Charlie Chaplin
and Harold Lloyd, for they had long produced their own pictures. But the public has missed many a familiar face and in quite a few cases it hasn't been a poor talking voice that has caused the temporary or permanent retirement of a player. nun COLLEEN MOORE, one of the greatest of box office attractions, hasn’t made a picture in more than six months. The trouble that led to the recent separation from her husband, John McCormick, may have had something to do with it, but most important w r as the $12,500 a week salary she drew during her last productions with First National. Except in very rare cases, salaries of that size aren’t being paid any more and though practically every producer in the colony would be glad to star Colleen, none feels like placing her on the pay roll at the figure to which she was accustomed. Tom Mix, of course, parted company with Fox studios many months ago. , He once was reputed to be drawing the highest of all salaries, $15,000 a week. Fox decided that was too much and excepting a special occasion now and then, $5,000 is top on the Fox lot at present. Universal announced that It parted sorrowfully from Laura La Plante. The studio said the separation was for the mutual advantage of the parties concerned. It was known, however, that the salary demands of Miss La Plante had more than anything else to do with the break u u ts

WIFE DIVORCES FILM DIRECTOR Separated From Al Santell 25 Times, She Says. Bv United Press LOS ANGELES, April 11.—Mrs. Ruth Santel, who smiled Just once during her tearful testimony as she told of quarrels with Al Santell, prominent film director, today had a divorce from the man from whom she separated “at least twenty-five times.” Mrs. Santell was able to smile Thursday at her own confused statement; “He said I said something that I said that I didn’t say. Then I said that I didn’t say what he said I said. Then he said that I said something else that I said I didn’t say and that if I contradicted him again he'd throw me out of the house.” Nicotine is contained in tiny pearshaped bulbs or knobbed hairs, which cover the surface of the tobacco leaf.

He completely eclipses the popular mayor in the matter of publicity The papers record almost every move that the commissioner makes. If he comes to headquarters without a gardenia in his lapel, it is worth half a column, and if a outton is off one of his spats, it’s a banner line. Whalen was born in a tenement house on the lower ea*: side. He is 44. He entered politics with John F. Hylan, acting as a campaign manager for Hylan when he ran for mayor in 1913. When Hylan was elected Whalen became his secretary.

EMPLOYMENT FORECAST FOR 7,000 TO JUNE Steady Work Predicted at Delco-Remy Factories in Anderson. OTHER PLANTS REVIVE Lebanon Industrial Chief Is Optimistic Over Year's Outlook. BY CHARLES C. STONE, Outstanding in a business and industrial survey of Indiana for the week ended today, are developments at Anderson and Lebanon. At Anderson regular employment into June for 7.000 persons is the forecast for the Delco-Remy plants, according to Fred C. Kroeger, general manager. While as many as 11,000 have been employed at times within the last year and a half, Kroeger pointed out they worked on varying schedules and he believes the lesser number steadily working will make a satisfactory showing. The Ames Shovel and Tool Company which w’as the loser In a $225.000 fire which destroyed most of its plant, has resumed operations in part with about half of its 200 employes working. Work has started on erection of a structure to replace the one burned.

April will show upturns In all lines of building, according to A. E. Dickinson, president of the Indiana Limestone Company. “By far the worst has been seen,” Dickinson declares, “and It Is still probable that 1930 will equal or surpass last year’s total volume.” He pointed to improvement programs of the nation’s utilities for the year, contemplating expenditure of $3,250,000,000. Among twenty large cities of tha countries, Indianapolis is seventeenth in volume of building permits, Dickinson points out. Conditions in various cities of the state are shown in the following summary: Work to Cost $125,000 Bloomington—City officials announce that the Indiana public service commission has granted permission to make improvements costing $125,000 at the Griffey creek source of the city’s water supply.
