MORROW IS HAILED AS HOOVER’S RIVAL

Chief Opponent in 1932 Is Label Put on Jerseyite by Pat Harrison. Bu United Prmg WASHINGTON, June 20.—Dwight W. Morrow, victor in the recent New Jersey senatorial primary, was referred to in the senate today as "the chief opponent” of President Hoover for the Republican presidential nomination in 1932. "From now on it will be a fight FIFIELD URGES SAFE DRIVING; Points to Heavy Toll of Crashes in Year. Bn Timm Soeciitl WABASH, Ind., June 20.—“ Americans shudder when they think of 20,000 natives of India dying of snake bite in 1929, but they think nothing of the fact that 31,000 were killed and more than one million injured in automobile accidents in this country dining the same period.” Secretary of State Otto G. Fifield used this illustration in a plea to curb carelessness while addressing the Chamber of Commerce here Thursday night. “During the last three years nearly twice as many people were killed in automobile accidents as American soldiers were killed during the World war,” he declared. "Never was a battle fought in any war where the killed and wounded numbered as many as were killed and wounded in the United States in automobile accidents last year. "The death rate has become so alarming that desperate efforts must be made to protect the public.” Fifield outlined the work of his department, including the drivers' license bureau, state police and crime detection activities. He urged co-operation in cutting down the accident toll by elimination of carelessness. CHECK EQUIPMENT AT CITY’S PLAYGROUNDS Inspection la Aftermath of Death of Girl at Spades Park.

within the Republican ranks for the nomination,” Senator Pat Harrison (Dem., Miss.) declared. Harrison’s reference to Morrow came during a speech reviewing recent primary results which showed, the Mississippi senator said, that with rare exceptions “those gentlemen who sponsored and helped to frame” the HawleySpioot tariff bill are being defeated. He said Morrow’s opponent, Representative Franklin Fort and Former Senator Frelinghuysen had supported the tariff and frequently discussed it in their campaign speeches. Called Anti-Hoover Harrison called Fort the “Hoover candidate” and Morrow the “antiHoover candidate.” “Some papers even said the President was jealous of Morrow because he was a candidate for the nomination in 1932,” Harrison said. “Yet, Mr. Morrow received a telegram from the President promising support. “I don’t know why the President slighted so many other Republican nominees. He was quick to remove the idea that his chief opponent in 1932 would not receive his support in the coming election.” Senator Caraway (Dem., Ark.) interrupted Harrison to say that in 1928 Hoover was hailed as “the hope of the drys,” but that the only Republican who has run in recent primaries as a wet was “at once assured by the dry administration that he had its support.” Doesn’t Back Others “The President immediately assured Morrow of his support,” Caraway said. “But Mrs. McCormick ran as a dry in Illinois and will be opposed by a wet, yet the President has said nothing to her. Secretary of Labor Davis won as a dry in Pennsylvania, but has received no assurance of support.” “That’s the way to play, both ends against the middle,” Harrison replied. 1931 A. A. A.

CLARA IS GOING HOME PENITENT 'Sorry’ She Caused So Much Trouble at Dallas. Bu United rrcss DALLAS, Tex., June 20.—Clara Bow is going back to Hollywood convinced . her visit to Dallas has caused only trouble. . She had her five trunks packed today, and by nightfall expected to be well on her way toward the screen capital, where she will have a great many more matters to “straighten out” than those which brought her to the south. She was leaving behind her a young and handsome Dallas doctor, who probably heaved a sigh of relief as he started gathering the loose ends of a medical practice, which he told Clara had been “totally ruined” by publicity attending her visit. “It’s been all wrong,” said the “it” girl. “I’m not a home wrecker. I don’t care about the doctor any more. Im not in love with any man. I didn’t mean to harm any one.” She came to Dallas to “straighten out a little matter for a boy friend,” she said. Before she left she had been scolded by her fiance, and had incurred the wrath of officials of the company for which she works. She made her sudden decision to return to Hollywood after her employers called her long distance, telling her to “keep your mouth shut until you get back here —and get here quick.” SENATOR BAIRD WEDS Marries Widow of Andrew B.

OFFICES FILLED AFTER JJUSTING Muncie Mayor Chooses Two for Works Board. B,u Times Special MUNCIE, Ind., June 20. From his retreat in Martinsville, Mayor George R. Dale announces appointments of Charles Indorf, Democrat, and James P. Dragoo, Republican, to the board of public works. The two succeed Earl Randolph and Arthur Meeker, Dale’s former lieutenants, who were discharged by him. Naming of Indorf creates a vacancy on the board of safety and it is reported that one of the two remaining members will be ousted. Friends of the mayor say that he would not object to resignation of William France, board president, and it would not be surprising if France is asked to resign. A further shake-up of the fire department is probable, several members of the department admitting they are slated to be dismissed. ‘MISQUOTED’ ON BOND INCIDENT, HUNT SAYS Denies He Charged Hawkins With Forcing Contractors on Issue. Denial that he charged Omer Hawkins, former sheriff, with attempting to force contractors on county road projects to accept Hawkin’s surety bond, was made tod: :” by John S. Hunt, 3153 Ruckle, rival bondsman. Hunt said he was “grossly misquoted” by a newspaper publishing a story that contractors would not be considered “in the running” unless they permitted Hawkins to “go” their surety bonds. Hunt, manager of the Commercial Casualty Company, further denied he told county commissioners that contractors have been receiving mysterious phone calls warning them to buy bonds from Hawkins. Hawkins, Commissioner John E. Shearer and Charloes O. Sutton, all members of the same political clique, joined with Hunt in a denial that Hawkins had been charged as quoted.

CITY IS SHORN OF POWER TO ROUTEBUSSES Blow Dealt to Home Rule in Public Service Group’s Ruling. AUTHORITY IS DENIED Decision Is Opposite to Opinion of Ogden on Feb. 24. Indianapolis’ board of safety was shorn of its power to determine where and how bus lines may operate in the city and a blow was dealt “home rule” in a decision of the public service commission made late Thursday. The decision is exactly contrary to an opinion from Attorney-Gen-eral James M. Ogden, given Chairman John W. McCardle of the commission on Feb. 24. The opinion upheld jurisdiction of the Indianapolis board of safety in bus routing and denied the commission authority in the matter. Sale Right Demanded Written by George W. Hufsmith, assistant attorney-general in charge of utility cases, the opinion was based on the decision of the supreme court in a Muncie bus case in which local governmental jurisdiction was upheld and commission jurisdiction denied. In the commission decision, written by Commissioner Frank Singleton, it was held that the Indianapolis board of safety had the right to permit the Logan J. Smith Union street bus line to operate around the Circle, but did not have the right to permit the busses to stop for passengers there. The old terminal of this line was at Maryland and South Meridian streets.' The safety board granted the line permission to extend around the Circle and pick up passengers. Objection was raised by the People’s Motor Coach Company, who wanted sole right to this privilege. Ignores “Home Rule” Opinion Singleton’s decision, approved by all commissioners, gives the same routing and permission to discharge and take on passengers, but sets out that the safety board did not have this power to change the terminal. It alleges the Muncie bus case (Denny vs. Brady) doesn’t apply and ignores the attorney-general’s “home rule” opinion. FIGHT U. S. TARIFF French Deputies on Record Against New Rates. Bu United Press PARIS, June 20.—The French chamber of deputies was on record today in opposition to the new American tariff law and with a threat of reprisals.

Hardy sea captains who go down with their ships have no corner on heroism. Incongruous, possibly, but the valor of the “skipper” on his listing bridge had a land-lubber’s parallel Thursday at the controls of a oneman street car. James A. Pierson, 49, of 2460 Bellefontaine street, motorman for the Indianapolis Street Railway Company, lying in city hospital with one leg amputated between the knee and foot, is the man whose heroism failed to avert a crash between his outbound one-man Columbia avenue car and a Muncie traction car, also outbound, at Columbia avenue and Thirteenth street Thursday afternoon. The crash came after Pierson fought frantically but unavailingly to set the car’s air brakes. When

POOL CHECKING RULEREVOKEG Sallee Orders Service Be Made Voluntary. An order making use of the checking service at municipal swimifig pools voluntary instead of compulsory, was issued today by Charles Sallee, superintendent of parks and recreation. Concessionaires have been requiring all persons to pay a 10-cent checking fee, whether they had anything to check or not, Sallee said. “The pools are public and such charges should be voluntary,” Sallee declared.

Sallee instructed Recreation Director David Kilgore to assign an engineer to each pool to operate the chlorination system, instead of the present plan, whereby one man operates the four pools. The order resulted from improper operation of the new pool at Garfield, which resulted in temporary closing Thursday.

the collision with the rear of the interurban car was inevitable, he might have escaped, injury by jumping back from his platform into the aisle of the car, but the impact caught him with, his hands still on the controls. Seven Negroes, occur ants of the car, suffered cuts and bruises and were sent to city hospital. “I saw the street car jerk dizzily around the corner at Roosevelt avenue and Columbia, and realized it was out of control,” said C. H. Fort, a postoffice special deliveryman, who witnessed the accident. Motorman Fights Gamely “Pierson was fighting gamely with the controls. Two hundred feet of track stretched in front of him between the corner and the interurban, which was standing still. “He never jumped back. Then the crash came and he was pinioned under his controls, his leg virtually severed. “ ‘Cut the current off’ were his first words to us after we pried open the doors. He sure had grit. We still couldn’t get him out. “Looking down at his leg (we had put a tourniquet around the stump) he said: ‘Well, boys, it’s been a good old leg, but it’s no good now. We might as well leave it here.”' Thinks of Company’s Money “Then he thought of the money in the car. ‘ls there a street car man here?’ he asked. ‘Tell him to take care of that money.’ ‘We couldn’t free him until the interurban pulled ahead a bit.” Pierson never lost consciousness. His condition at the hospital today was reported “satisfactory” and his recovery is expected. He had been employed by the street car company four years.

SIX CITIES OF ! STATE BUILD FOR INCREASE Indiana Total in May Was $2,000,000 Under Same Month Last Year. APRIL FIGURE BETTERED Volume for Month About $500,000 Less Than in Following Period. BY CHARLES C NE State Editor, The Times Building in Indiana during May was about $2,000,000 less than in the same month last year, but about $500,000 ahead of Apr!', this year, it is revealed in a bus loss and industrial survey of the state. Among the eighteen cities reporting on building, six showed increases in May over that montn in 1929. They are Anderson, East Chicago, Marion, Mishawaka, Terre Haute and Vincennes. Those where May building exceeded that of April this year are Anderson, East Chicago, Ft. Wayne, Hammond, Mishawaka, Muncie and Terre Haute. Industrially, the survey gives little ground for encouragement. In about one hundred industries which normally employ 16 per cent of Indiana factory workers, forces were 3 per cent smaller in May than in April. The seasonal decline for the two months is 1 per cent. Gains at Anderson Among cities where conditions are improving is Anderson, the Guide Lamp Corporation, which heretofore has provided 60 per cent of light for Chevrolet automobiles, has signed a contract to supply all. While the contract will not cause enlarging the force, it will tend to assure steadier operation. Work is progressing on erecting the new twelve-story Tower hotel. Excavation has been completed. Conditions In various Indiana cities are shown in the following summary: Bloomington Steady operation during the summer is forecast by Showers Brothers Furniture Company officials as a result of booking an order from Sears, Roebuck & Cos.
