ROUT OF G. 0. P. IS THREATENED BY PROHIBITION Blow Falls After 10 Years of Dodging; Dangerous Breaks in Party. - SENATE RULE PERILED Wet Democrats Expected to Win Massachusetts and New Jersey. Btl Scripps-Hoicard Hemspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, May 19.—With the Republicans badly split on the prohibition question in many states, ' national G. O. P. leaders today laced the prospect that this issue may at least prove as disastrous to them as it has to the party of A1 Smith and Bishop Cannon. For ten years the Republicans have confined this controversial question to a limited area, while the e Democrats have suffered reverses in state and natidnal contests through failure to compose their differences. But now it has broken out in the Republican camp like a political plague. Everywhere G. O. P. strategists look, they see outstanding party spokesmen squaring off for a battle and adopting an entirely different attitude from that expounded by President Hoover and the national administration. In view of the apparent growth of anti-prohibition sentiment revealed In magazine and newspaper polls, and at hearings before congressional committees, the Republicans may suffer the loss of half a dozen senate seats and a score or more in the house over this nonpartisan problem. Party Lines Broken Party lines are expected to be shattered more than ever before, and the prohibition controversy, together with discontent over economic conditions and the proposed tariff measure, may be the means of giving the Democrats control of the senate. The battle royal, of course, will be staged in New Jersey, where Representative Franklin W. Fort, a close ' personal friend of the President, is seeking the Republican senatorial nomination as a dry. Another trusted Hoover confidant, Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow, is running as a wet, while ex-Senator Frelinghuysen, whose business associate, E. C. Jameson of New York, contributed $172,000 to help elect Hoover, is campaigning on a modification platform. With the Republican drys outnumbering the wets, and with two men splitting the antis’ vote, observers generally give Fort an excellent chance to win the nomination. But they also predict the defeat of any dry candidate by Alexander Simpson, who will be the Democratic nominee. Democrats Will Win Election of a Democratic senator from Massachusetts is virtually conceded as a result of the Republican split in that state. William M. Butler, former national chair- * man, has announced himself dry in his campaign for the senate nomination, but he will have a wet opponent. The return to the senate of Peter Gerry, Democrat, is looked for in the wet state of Rhode Island, where Senator Metcalf is up for reelection. Gerry usually wins in off years, and, like Massachusetts, Rhode Island swung into the Smith column two years ago. Another titanic struggle is set for Illinois, with ex-Senator J. Ham Lewis, wet Democrat, making the race against Representative Ruth McCormick, who has declared herself a dry. Although Illinois is normally Republican by 400,000 votes, the wets are believed to outnumber the drys, and Lewis is given an outside chance for victory. Though hardly expecting victory, leading Republican wets are barnstorming through Pennsylvania on behalf of Francis H. Bohlen, the wet candidate for the senatoral nomination against Senator Grundy and Secretary Davis in the election Tuesday. * CITY OFFERS PROGRAM May Musical Festival Presented at Richmond Sunday.

Mother Thinks Confessed Slayer Is ‘Victim of Unhappiness.’ Bu United Press NEW YORK, May 19.—The grayhaired mother of Henry Gaw, who was murdered here last year, came from Denver today to plead for mercy for the man who has confessed, authorities say, to that murder, and also to killing nine other persons. , The widow, Mrs. Clara Gaw, arrived at the office of Assistant District Attorney James McDonald to plead for James Baker, 25-year-old youth, who calls himself Texas Jim, and who boasts that he has killed ten persons. Baker went on trial today charged with murder Dec. 27, 1928, of Henry Gaw, employed as night watchman at the Guggenheim laboratories. “I hope they are merciful to him,” she told McDonald, in charge of presenting the state’s case. “He should be locked up somewhere, but I don’t want him to be killed, too. I think he must be the victim of some terrible unhappiness that makes him do things like that.” Baker was alleged to have forced Gaw to drink three cups of coffee containihg a deadly poison. Gaw then was strapped in a chair, according to police, while Baker forced a poison down Gaw’s throat to see what effect it would have. PROBE JJQUOR RING Grand Jury Will Consider Kansas Situation.

HEAVY-TRUCK LAW MAY BE PUTTOTEST Indianapolis Company Plans Appeal After Arrest of Driver in Brazil. QUESTION ON STATUTE Four-Wheel Weight Basis Confusing Due to Some Having Six. Bu Timeß Special BRAZIL, Ind., May 19.—A case involving Indiana’s law designed to bar heavy motor trucks from state roads, filed in city court here, will probably be carried to the state supreme court in the first test of validity of the weight statute. Counsel for the Kibler Trucking Company, Indianapolis, one of whose drivers, Harold Snyder, was arrested here on a charge of drivin an overweight truck, announce they will take the cast: to Indiana’s highest court. Arraigned before Justice of the Peace Gates, the driver entered a plea of not guilty and obtained a delay until Tuesday for his trial. Kenneth Miller, Clay county prosecutor, declares he has long been desirous of seeking a test of the law, and therefore welcomes the move of the trucking company in planning an appeal. The interpretation of the statute has been an issue, as it provides a formula of weight, on any one or more wheels of a machine. Many trucks are equipped with six wheels, complicating the situation, as the statute is based on four-wheel machines. Miller declares highways over which trucks pass are being badly damaged. Recently the big machines have been detouring around Brazil due to frequent arrests of drivers, who have paid fines and costs totaling $45 each in most cases.

A ‘Philadelphia Lawyer’ in All Ways—That's Owen J.Jlt^terts n , ; \;1>• nit r I— ' 'yyASHINGTON, May 19.—A OWEN <Jfa H eral. Is Owen J.' Roberts, nominated ward T. Sanford and marked more CUOS£N FOQ. TU£. CDutS.'V*

Some interesting sketches of Owen J. Roberts, chosen by President Hoover to serve on the nation’s highest court, are presented here by Staff Artist Joe King. Choice for U. S. Supreme Court Justice Is Big Man Physically as Well as in Ability. Bu EEA Sere ice WASHINGTON, May 19.—A “Philadelphia lawyer” in the figurative sense, as well as the literal, is Owen J. Roberts, nominated by President Hoover to fill the vacancy on the supreme court bench caused by the death of Justice Edward T. Sanford and marked more recently by the senate rejection of Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina. Roberts is not only an attorney with offices in Philadelphia. He is one of those shrewd geniuses with a knack for, unknotting the most complicated of legal problems who have given rise to the familiar expression “Only a Philadelphia lawyer could solve that.” Much of his work has been quietly wtih other attorneys who brought to him matters that were too difficult for them to handle and sought his guidance. * u tt u WHEN Roberts rose to national fame almost overnight after President Coolidge appointed him as a government prosecutor in the Teapot Dome oil scandal cases several years ago he made good with a bang. “Isn’t that Owen Roberts, one of the government counsel?” a friend asked Harry Sinclair one day, indicating a tall, broad-shouldered man with a briar pipe between his teeth. “One of them!” replied the oil man. “Hell, that’s all of them!” Sinclair was in position to know. Roberts had prosecuted him. n tt tt ROBERTS is a big man, physically as well as in ability. He towers six feet. He has iron gray hair, smooth face and a square, determined jaw. His manner is quick and alert and his speech always to the point. He likes to stalk big game, not only in the courts of law, but in the forests as well. His vacations are spent in the Maine woods, hunting moose and bear, but it is the thrill of the chase rather than the zest of the kill in which he finds his greatest pleasure. Guides tell the story of how Roberts, after a tiresome all-day tramp over rough ground, finally got within rifle range of a big moose. But Roberts didn’t shoot; he merely inspected the animal with interest and then turned around and started home. Friends say that he hunts for exercise; not to slay. tt u tt TWO incidents show the human side and deep sincerity of Roberts, long identified with wealthy clients. A railroad worker was crippled in a wreck and chanced to engage Roberts as his lawyer in a damage suit. Roberts won for him a judgment of $55,000 from the railroad. In contrast with the case of a millionaire Philadelphian who, while drunk, ran down and killed three women with his auto. “What shall I do?” the millionaire asked Roberts, seeking out the man who in his opinion was the best attorney available, “Surrender yourself and plead guilty,” Roberts advised. The millionaire did. He got a prison term of several years and served it. tt tt tt ROBERTS’ personality inspires confidence. After only fifteen minutes of interview, President Coolidge decided to appoint Roberts as a government prosecutor in the oil lease scandals along with ExSenator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio. The two served together. He spends long hours at his office and then he likes to come home and turn on the radio. He doesn’t care for golf. He belongs to the best of Philadelphia clubs, is a quiet and unassuming man and has never been a candidate for public office. Asa conversationalist he is witty and, like most lawyers, he is able to tell a good story as it should be told. He has a deep, rumbling voice —in short, he talks like a Philadelphian.

BOOTLEGGER’S RITES BY TWO PREACHERS

Funeral for Victim of Slaying Held in Merom Church. Bit Times Special SULLIVAN, Ind., May 19.—William A.

Mr. Bennett, Merom, officiating, assisted by the church’s pastor, the Rev. Earl' Johnson. Burial was made at Palestine, 111. Oacie Bennett, indicted here by a special grand jury two days after the shooting of White, is held on a second degree murder charge. Authorities investigating the case declare a grudge existed between White and Elmer Bledsoe and his wife, sister of Brummett, because of alleged attentions paid her by White. Bledsoe is also a prisoner here charged with violating the liquor law. The shooting occurred early Wednesday morning at the camp of Bledsoe on the Wabash river, south of Riverton. White had been convicted of violating both the state and federal prohibition laws, and at the. time of his death, was a fugitive from a prohibition warrant under the state law held by authorities here. RULES ON INTEREST County Treasurers May Be Asked for Refund. Thousands of dollars may be returned to county exchequers from the pockets of county treasurer if an interpretation of the Barrett law amendment passed by the 1929 legislature, made by Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner of the state board of accounts, is upheld by theattorneygeneral. Orr discovered that although the amendment, which puts all Barrett law fund bank interest back into the county treasury, set the date of such return as Jan. 1, 1930, the law contained an emergencq clause making it effective upon receiving the Governor’s signature, March 16, 1929. Field examiners found interest amounted to $5,547.13 in Allen county alone.

RUM LAW FLOP, SAYSWHEELER Dry Senator Brands Liquor Act as Failure. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, May 19.—Senator Burton K. Wheeler (Dem., Mont.), long considered a moderate dry, was on record today as convinced that prohibition, as now enforced, is a failure. “It is absurd to say,” Wheeler told a dominantly dry audience at the Calvary Baptist church here Sunday night, “that prohibition is enforced when one can go into any city, large or small, put his foot on the rail and order a drink.” After denouncing conditions obtaining under the present dry laws, Wheeler said “the people are turning from it (prohibition) in disgust, because of widespread graft and corruption." The services at which he spoke were under the auspices of the Citizens’ Service Association and were held in the church in which the late President Harding once worshipped. Another indication of Wheeler’s discontent with prohibition came last week when he voted with a small senate minority in favor of the resolution of Senator Tydings (Dem., Md.) to prevent the use of poison in government alcohol.
