NEITHER PARTY ARLE TO DODGE WET QUESTION Fight Against Dry League Certain If Willoughby Is Renominated. BY BEN STERN Try as it will, neither party will be able to dodge the pronioition question in this year's campaign, developments of the iast few weeks Indicate. If Benjamin Willoughby, Vincennes. is renominated to the state supreme court by the Republican state convention here June 5. that party will be up to its ears in a fight on the Indiana Anti-Saloon League. Willoughby has stated plainly on several occasions that if he is nominated he will wage an active campaign against the league. This has called to his colors Arthur L. Gilliom, former attorneygeneral, who is an avowed enemy of the dry league. Building Up Support Gilliom s activities during the last few weeks are parallel to those of a campaign manager. Throwing the force of his personal following into the balance, the former attorney-general has managed to build up a strong support for the aged jurist. Many county and district chairmen are rallying to Willoughby, and it generally is conceded he has an excellent opportunity to obtain the nomination. One of his two opponents, T. Morton McDonald. Princeton, is making a vigorous campaign, while the other, Thomas Coulter, Knox, circuit judge, seems to be resting on his oars. Richard Wemeke, Terre Haute Democratic leader, is insistent his party take a stand for a referendum on both the national and state prohibition laws. He managed to get the platform advisory committee to appoint a subcommittee, of which Werneke is the head, to consider such a referendum. At Mercy of Convention If a plank is drawn, it then must be presented to the committee on committees, headed by John S. McFaddin. Rockville, which is to approve the plank and then pass it on to the convention platform committee. So a refendum plank must run hree gantlets and then is at the mercy of the convention itself. The wets are showing increasing strength in the state. Os the 133,802 votes cast in the Literary Digest poll by Hoosiers. 51,494 were for enforcement, 39,949 for modification, and 42.359 for repeal. Two wet candidates for the Republican Seventh district congressional nomination in the primary polled a little less than half the votes cast and neither was an outs anding citizen nor one of the type that would attract the better element of the wet vote. Two districts, the Tenth and Thirteenth. will have outright wet and dry fights. Lake County Wet Charles J. Murphy, Brookston, who obtained the Democratic congressional nomination in the Tenth district, is a former member of the public service commission, and campaigned on a platform calling for modification of the Volstead act. Lake county is outspokenly wet, pnd Murphy may make an interesting race against the veteran, Will R. Wood, Lafayette, chairman of the house appropriations committee. Andrew J. Hickey. La Porte, veteran Republican and dry. will be opposed by Samuel Pettengill, South Bend attorney and an outspoken wet. The larger cities in that district, which include South Bend. La Porte. Michigan City and Elkhart, showed a wet vote in the Digest poll. All of which tends to show that even if the state conventions refuse the issue, it will be fought in several districts. PUPILS RECEIVE TESTS Examinations Held for Eighth Grade Girls in Parochial Schools. Annual cholarship tests were given eighth grade girl graduates of city parochial schools at St. Mary's academy, 429 East Vermont street, today.

NAVAL FLIERS TUNE UP FOR SPEED CLASSIC “ 1 - - - Twenty-Six Are Entered in Annual Contest for Curtiss Trophy. Bu prr** WASHINGTON, May 24—The Curtiss marine trophy was again at stake today. Twenty-five of the navy's most brilliant fliers and a single marine corps entrant early today were tuning up their seaplanes for a contest that perhaps will set anew record in military flying annals. The annual speed classic scheduled to begin at the Anacostia naval air station at 3 p. m. is to climax one of the most colorful aerial carnivals in Washington’s history. The 100-mile race is to be run in short hops up and down the Potomac. It was announced at the last minute that Lieutenant William G. Tomlinson, winner of last year’s Curtiss marine trophy races, is not to enter the races. He withdrew in favor of a “squadron mate,” Lieutenant F. J. McBridget, who never had flown for the trophy and wanted to enter. Tomlinson's average last year over the 100-mile course was 162 miles an hour. The year previous a marine corps flier, Major C. A. Lutz, who later was killed in a crash, averaged 157. Arrivals and Departures MARS HILL AIRPORT-C. T. Stedman, South Bend to Troy, 0., Waco; T. A. T. passengers westbound included A. F.

Br United Prexx WASHINGTON, May 24.—Dry agents must hold proof that bottles, caps, malt and other similar materials are to be used in making liquor before they can confiscate them under the supreme court's recent ruling in the Danovitz case, according to Prohibition Commissioner Doran. The dry chief stressed this fact in a circular letter to enforcement agents Friday—a letter, he said, designed to prevent misapprehension. The court’s decision, he explained, only confirmed the prohibition bureau’s previous policy regarding such seizures and did not grant it new powers.

HOOVER THREAT ASSURES VOTE ON NAVY PACT Tells Senate to Pass Treaty or ‘Stay In After School.’ Bu United Prexx WASHINGTON. May 24.—Ratification of the London naval treaty before adjournment of congress virtually became certain today, in the opinion of observers who interpreted President Hoover's special session announcement as an effective check upon the anti-treaty group. “It is my understanding,” Mr. Hoover announced, "that the advocates of the naval treaty earnestly are striving for action in the present 1 session. “If it proves impossible to complete it at the regular session, I shall call a special session of the senate immediately following the regular session to deal with the question.” With the assurance of a special session summons if it adjourns without treaty action, the senate now has no incentive to delay a vote on the treaty.
