EUROPE TORN BY HATRED AS LEAGUEMEETS Hard Times Drive Nations Toward Trade Pact, but War Clouds Loom. RIVALRIES FEARED BAR All Have Eyes on Wider Frontiers; Prepared to Fight for Them. /;u Scrlpps-lloicard \ cuspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—With the <xlds in favor of Mars, a mighty battle between the forces of peace and the forces of war is in full swing today in Europe as the League of Nations met to take stock of things at Geneva. On the' one hand the general economic depression, whose grip on the old world steadily is tightening, is acting as a tremendous inducement toward the United States of Europe urged by the French foreign minister, Aristide Briand. On the other, age-old hatreds and brand new fears and animosities are combining to drive the nations apart, herding them almost irresistibly into two distinct and hostile camps. These camps now are arming, and, many observers insist, eventually must clash in a new Armageddon. Rumanian Is President The eleventh assembly of the league elected Nicolas Titulesco of Rumania president when it convened today. The departure of Dino Grandi, Italian foreign minister who attended the league council sessions, on the eve of the opening of the assembly was interpreted here as a gesture emphasizing Italy’s political detachment from the league affairs. It also was due, however, to the fact that he carried disarmament data to Premier Mussolini as a result of his talks here with Foreign Minister Aristide Briand of France. The conversations between Briand and Grandi. looking toward an agreement that would permit France and Italy to enter the full commitments of the London naval pact, had been expected to be one of the most important features of the present session. Back of the United States of Europe project is the idea, not new, which Secretary of the Treasury Mellon stated in 1926. Said he: Industrial Power Would End "If we should consider each of our forty-eight states a separate nation, each having its own tariff, its own railroads, its own currency and its own language, the industrial power of the United States must and would end.” Today at Geneva twenty-seven European nations —more than twenty of which are represented by their foreign ministers —are trying to found a United States of Europe to save themselves from economic disaster. To facilitate competition with great industrial powers like the United States of America, they are attempting to find a way to cooperate economically after the fashion of our states. It seems Europe’s only way out. But while each of these twentyseven nations has agreed, in principle, to unite in this way, dangerous and disruptive rivalries are forcing them apart. Divided in Two Groups Divided, most of them, into two groups of the World war. the victors and the vanquished, the victors stand pat on the frontiers as drawn in the treaty of peace, while the vanquished are clamoring, ever more insistently, that the frontiers be changed. Thus, on one side, we find 150,000,000 Germans, Austrians. Hungarians. Lithuanians and Italians—for Italy has joined the ranks of the disgruntled—and on the other 150,000,000 French, Poles, Czechs, Yugo-Salvs, Belginns and Rumanians. with 170,000,000 British and Russians watching from the sidelines Neither to Stay Out Being temporarily on the sidelines, however, does not mean that either Russians or British will stay out of the game. On the contrary, either or both may jump into it at any moment, and will whenever they believe something is to be gained. Russia could even play a deciding role. By entering a GermanJapanese and, perhaps, Italian alliance, she easily might change the map of the w r orld, and this old and greatly feared German-Russian-Japanese hook-up by no means is outside the range of tomorrow’s possibilities. France, Poland and their allies, it must be remembered, have made it fairly certain they are prepared to fight—well under the terms of the Kellogg pact—in defense of existing frontiers. Germany has made it equally plain that she intends to wipe out the Polish corridor separating East Prussia from the rest of the fatherland if it takes her until doomsday. And fascist Italy has served notice on the world that she will hurl her legions against any nation that tries to block her ambitions—ambitions which embrace virtually anew Roman empire. In the Orient, stands Japan with her eyes on Manchuria. She firmly intends to dominate that region, having already fought two wars to maintain her position there, she would fight a third at the drop of the hat.

Girl, 19, Swims English Channel Sting on Face by Mly Fish Only Exciting Part of Long Battle, She Says. U*t 1 Pre** SOUTH FORELAND, England, Sept. 10.—Miss Bessie Duncan, 19-year-old South African swimmer, who prefers to be called Peggy, scrambled unaided from the cold waters of the English channel today after a sixteen hours seventeen minutes swim from Cape Gris Nez, France. "I easily would have beaten Gertrude Ederle’s time if the water hadn’t been so cold,” Miss Duncan said as she pulled herself up on a large chalk rock and threw her arms around her famous trainer, Jabez Wolfe. She finished strongly after a two-hour battle with the flood tide that swept her off her course. Wolfe, who swam the last few hundred yards with her, was smiling broadly as the excited girl kissed him several times. It was her first attempt to swim the channel. Her right temple was bleeding slightly when she removed her bathing cap, due to tubbing. "Nothing exciting happened except that I was stung in the face by a jelly fish,” Miss Duncan told reporters at her hotel, as she puffed on a cigaret.

Roosevelt Asks Repeal of Dry Law Up United Press ALBANY, N. Y„ Sept. 10— Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, in a letter to United States Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York, today urged repeal of the eighteenth amendment and restoration to the states of control of the sale of intoxicants. "The force and effect of the eighteenth amendment can be eliminated of course, only by anew constitutional amendment,” he said. “This would supersede and abrogate the eighteenth amendment and substitute, therefore, anew constitutional provision. That is clear.” CHICAGO ‘APE’ TAKEN FOR ‘RIDE’ BY GANG Muscular Rum Racketeer Slain, Thrown From Auto. CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—They took “the Ape” for a ride, murdered him and tossed his body from an automobile Tuesday; apparently because he is believed to have attempted to shoulder his way into Chicago’s highly profitable liquor traffic. "The Ape” was Peter Nicastro, so dubbed throughout the underworld because of his lengthy arms, hairy skin and exceptional muscular strength. His assailants somehow got him into their car, raced along deserted Canal street, shot him four times through the head and threw him into the street to die. TANGIERS OFFICIALS REFUSE TO FIRE COPS Deny U. S. Attache’s Demands After Arrest of Servant. Liu United Press TANGIERS, Sept. 10.—Officials of the Tangiers zone said today they were unable to meet the demands of Maxwell Blake, American consular representative, who has sought the discharge of several local police because they refused to permit his Moorish servant boy to ride a donkey on the public beach. The servant boy was arrested for violation of ordinances because he rode on the beach. Officials said that, during his protests, Blake suggested it might be necessary to arm all Americans in the zone to defend their interests.

Two Lovers Pay Court; Which Will She Choose?

CELIA ROGERS, pretty and 18, daughter of estranged parents, lived with her mother, a seamstress, who worked to support them. Celia faced the necessity of finding a job after her graduation from high school.

Then her father, a wealthy attorney whom she never had seen, claimed Celia and suddenly she found herself in the midst of luxury, wearing beautiful clothes, riding in expensive cars, attending gay house parties and living a life of ease. Two lovers played important parts in Celia’s life. One was Barney Shields, rising young newspaper cameraman of 23. whom she some day planned to marry. I And then she met Tod Jordan, a handsome, well-groomed young man who traveled in society, but whose nlbans of livelihood was cloaked in mystery. About these characters Laura Lou Brookman, whom you will remember as the author of "Rash Romance,” has woven a fascinating new serial story, called "Heart Hungry,” which begins Friday in The Times. It is a swift-moving story, crammed with human interest, and it is true to life. You’ll want to read "Heart Hungry,” beginning Friday.

WIDENING WORK FINALLY IS LET East New York Street Project to Cost $67,907. After ten years’ delay, contract for widening and resurfacing East New York street from Randolph to Tuxedo street, was awarded today by the works board. The job went to J. N. Morgan & Son, Inc., on a low bid of $67,907.36. The contract stipulates the work shall be finished by Nov. 1. Five other firms sought the job, with bids ranging from $69,000 to $73,000. First steps to widen the street from twenty-seven to forty-five feet were taken ten years ago, but some property owners objected to the cost. Then the city attempted to condemn property, and this step was halted by long litigation. City officials finally decided to limit the widening to city property along the thoroughfare and will pay three-fourths of the construction cost. Action to eliminate a jog at Randolph street and connect New York street with a terminal of the street two blocks west now is under way.

Gin Love Bu United Press PARIS, Sept. 10.—Alcohol has killed the American woman’s charm, in the opinion of Jean Lasserre, Parisian writer, just returned from America. Lasserre, who “did” the United States for the newspapers here, found alcohol pretty much of a problem in all classes. "Alcohol has killed the American woman,” he says. "She is a creature without heart, and almost without soul. She goes madly on, wooing men with gin-flavored kisses, afraid to take stock of her pitiable position in society, and particularly in the eyes of men.“The men woo the female, not with their hearts or with pretty phrases, but with hip flasks.”

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10,1930

‘SLAVE’ WAGE UNDER FIRE AT LABOR PARLEY Resolution Presented to * Federation Lauds State Road Board’s Action. PROPOSE 50-CENT SCALE Union Men Are Urged to Take Active Part in Fall Elections. The state highway commission was praised for its stand against highway labor exploitation in a resolution submitted today at the opening of the three-day annual convention of the Indiana State Federation of Labor, in the Claypool. The resolution presented by the Central Labor Union of Bicknell, was referred to the committee on legislation. It deplored the hiring of highway laborers at 20 cents an hour. Facts that called for the resolution and resulted in threats of the highway commission to black list contractors paying’ peonage wages were brought to the commission’s notice by The Times. Resolution Is Advanced The gist of the resolution follows: "Resolved, That the Central Labor Union of Bicknell, Indiana, commend officers of the Indiana State Federation of Labor, state highway commission and other public officials who took a stand agains attempts of certain contractors, taking advantage of the unemployment situation, to force hungry and suffering human beings to work for wages inadequate to maintain a family. They can not be too highly commended. “The Central Labor Union of Bicknell wishes to extend to all these officers its most sincere appreciation for their firm stand in respect to future wages of these laborers. "Considering the time laborers lose each year, would it not be justifiable to fix the minimum wage at 50 cents an hour instead of 25 cents and also make provisions whereby contractors on public work must employ residents of the state on all street, road and highway work? Why should contractors bring in outside labor to do such work when thousands of Indiana men are i^ile?” Take Typographical Action Following addresses of welcome by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and Governor Harry G. Leslie, the federation, at the behest of Indianapolis Typographical Union, sent a telegram to the international convention of typographical unions in Houston, Tex., urging that national headquarters of the union be kept in Indianapolis. The union has had headquarters in this city since 1889, but agitation was begun recently to move its offices. Sounding the clarion for federation members to participate in fall elections, Thomas Taylor, Terre Haute, president, in his opening address said: "To get legislation for unionism, we must have friendly legislators. When we go home we mustn’t forget the words spoken here for legislation.” Free Labor Suggested Other resolutions submitted to the convention were for a state legislative bill requiring all construction work in state correctional institutions to be done by free labor; condemnation of the Empire Oil Company for its attitude toward organized labor; use of the exhaust system or suction method near polishing and grinding machinery to safeguard workers; better observance of Labor day in Indianapolis; urging observance of Washington’s birthday, and to promote kindergarten education in schools. Approximately 375 delegates are attending the convention, which ends Friday. Charles W. Kern, Indianapolis, was re-elected president of the Indiana Building Trades Council at its closing session on Tuesday in the Claypool. The council has five delegates representing it in the federation. Other officers re-elected by the council were: Henry Gabler, Hammond, secretary; John Mears. Hammond, first vice-president; Louis J. Hart, Lafayette, second vice-presi-dent; Marshall Pigg, Terre Haute, third vice-president; R. M. Tumelson, Muncie. fourth vice-president, and Jacob Thiel, Evansville, fifth vice-president.

Bu A FA Serrice Hollywood, cal., sept. 10.— Gloria Lloyd, 6-year-old daughter of Harold Lloyd and his wife, Mildred Davis, has anew sister. And the new sister, little Marjorie Elizabeth Lloyd, also is a playmate—as she now is 5 years of age. No, the Lloyds haven’t been holding out on you, folks. It’s just that Marjorie Elizabeth, who is better known as Peggy, is an adopted daughter. Ever since the Lloyds moved into their new mansion in Beverly Hills, Gloria has been pleading for a playmate. Mrs. Lloyd saw little Peggy for the first time last year and liked her so much she asked permission to take her home for a day. And when Harold saw the child he became equally fond of her. Immediately they wanted to adopt her, but Mrs. Louise Sullivan, who then had the child, refused to part with her. BACK in *9ls* Mrs. Sullivan’s 18-year-old son died with the words “mother’s a good mother” on his lips. "That’s a statement I must live up to,” vowed Mrs. Sullivan. She gave up her social activities, dispensed with her servants and devoted her entire time to motherhood on perhaps the largest scale yet attempted. Since that time she cared for 168 children. But in doing so she spent her entire fortune. So, a few weeks ago, shS visited the Lloyd mansion. “If yoji still want to adopt Peggy, you may,” she told Mrs. Lloyd. “I r.o longer have enough money to keep her, and I know she will have a good home with you.” u n tt SO Peggy went to live with the Lloyds and a few days later they started proceedings for her legal adoption. The most unusual part of it all is that the two children look enough alike to be real sisters. Their hair and eyes are the same color, their complexions match and they have many similar expressions and mannerisms. And Gloria, as she plays around the big estate, no longer is lonesome.

yDress Well, to Be Popular in School WHO is to be the most popular co-ed at college this year? With the opening of the fall term, this is the burning question on many campuses. Clothes will be a deciding factor in the answer. Dress plays a large part in determining popularity. But whether it is in school, the office or on the street, nothing is quite so important as the right dress. Smart coats and suits breed self-confidence. This can be acquired by every woman and girl and there is no better time to buy anew outfit than now. Cloak houses are announcing September sales at prices astonishingly low. The best in dress can be obtained today for what the cheap variety could a few months ago. It’s an ideal time to buy—act today. The Indianapolis Times

Bii United Press WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass., Sept. 10—Relief from the current business depression may be expected this fall, Roger W. Babson, famed statistician, told the seventeenth annual national business conference today. "A year ago today, a financial writer stated that all parts of the country were optimistic except Babson Park, which had the ‘blues,’ ” Babson said. “Today I should say that most parts of the country have the ‘blues,’ while Babson Park is optimistic. In making this statement, I am referring only to our general outlook on the immediate situation, without making any long-term forecasts one way or the other.” Babson declared that “with the haughty spirit prevailing a year ago, a decline was inevitable, but with the humble spirit existing today, a turn for the better is sure to come.” INJUNCTION CASE UP Hearing on Loan Scheme Is Set for Today.

VOTERS OUST VETERANS OF U. S. SENATE Blease and Ransdell Are Latest to Fall: Beaten in Tuesday Primaries. •GOATEE BLOC’ GONE South Carolina Man Was Noted for Wearing of Bizarre Vests. Other results of primaries held Tuesday will be found on Page 5. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—Eleven members of the present senate, soma of them veterans and others colorful figures who participated in dramatic incidents, have been dropped from the rolls in the primaries thus far. either by will of the voters or of their own volition, a survey revealed today. The defeat in primaries Tuesday of Cole E. Blease, picturesque senator from South Carolina, and Joseph Ransdell, veteran Louisiana legislator, brings to five the total of incumbents who have been relegated to private life by the voters of their states. The others are Furnifold M. Simmons of North Carolina, dean of the senate, and for years a Democratic leader in tariff, tax and financial legislation; Charles S. Deneert (Rep., 111.), who lost to Mrs. Ruth. Hannan McCormick, and Joseph R. Grundy (Rep., Pa.), who had a brief career in the senate, but one that was interesting chiefly because he had been a familiar figures for years about the capital as a tariff lobbyist. Some Quit Voluntarily Those who withdrew voluntarily all are Republicans. They are: Frederick H. Gillett, Massachusetts, who for years was Speaker of the house. Lawrence C. Phipps, Colorado, one of the wealthiest of the small group of rich men in the senate. Arthur ,P. Gould, Maine, remembered for the revelation that he had asked a grape juice concern for instructions as to manufacture of wine in the home. Patrick J. Sullivan, Wyoming, who filled out the unexpired term of the late Senator Warrea. Guy D. Goff, West Virginia, who was a veteran in the government service, and David Baird Jr., who was appointed to serve out the term of Walter E. Edge, now ambassador to France. * "Goatee Bloc” Removed Defeat of Ransdell and the withdrawal of Gillett removes the “goatee bloc” from the senate. Both of these men could be picked out by the short whiskers they had worn for years. Absence of Blease will be notable particularly to the galleries which, enjoyed his frequent oratorical tirades. Blease was rather original in his position on legislation. He was one senator whose stand usually was unpredictable. His own party colleagues never knew when he might desert them and join the Republicans. He did this frequently. Blease admitted openly he took a drink occasionally, though he voted dry. Wore Bizarre Vests Veterans about the senate remember him most vividly for his participation in the famous Boulder dam filibusteer of a few years ago when he kept vagrant occupants of the gallery at an all-night session roaring with laughter by his tactics. Blease shared with Senator Heflin, Alabama, the distinction of wearing bizarre vests, and if Heflin is defeated in Alabama, the galleries will miss the mid-victorian color; that these two brought to a gathering that now is conservative a far £is dress is concerned. new'flagAole>erch CHAMPION IS CROWNED lowan Up 49 Days and Hour Over "Shipwreck” Kelly Record.
