MERCY CLIMAX TO LONG TRAIL ; OF VENGEANCE Liberty Given to Last of Gang, Rounded Up in 8-Year Hunt. Bu United Tret* CHICAGO. Sept. 17.—Arthur Cut- ; ten, who spent eight years and thousands of dollars bringing about the arrests ot nine men who robbed and almost killed him, has given back his liberty to the last of the men who plotted and carried out the robbery. More than eight years ago, five of the gang of men entered Cutten’s summer home at Downers Grove, locked Cutten, his wife, his brother, and four servants in a basement vault, ransacked the house and stole $20,000 worth of jewelry anc; liquor.

At the request of Cutten, Rosenberg was released Tuesday and will not be tried. Rosenberg told Cutten and Chauncey W. Reed, state’s attorney of Du Page county that he had helped plan, but had not taken part in the robbery. After the robbery, he said, he went to a small Ittichigan town, settled with his family and became a respected citizen. “In view of the change in his mode of life, I do not think it necessary to send Rosenberg to prison to satisfy the ends of justice,” Reed, speaking for Cutteh, told Judge Frank W. Shepherd in the Wheaton court.

Philip La Follette Wins Over Governor Kohler in Wisconsin;Dry Battles Wet in Bay State

Butler Running Close Race With Draper in Fight for G. 0. P. Nomination as U. S. Senator. BY HENRY MINOTT t'nited Preis Staff Correspondent BOSTON, Sept. 17.—Possibility of a recount was seen today as the lead of William M. Butler, dry, over Eben S. Draper, wet, dwindled to less than 9,000 in the battle for the Republican nomination for United States senator. Returns from 1.576 election precincts out of a total of 1,649 in the state gave: Butler, 151,530, and Draper, 142,964. Mayor Bossy Gillis of Newburyport, “moist” candidate, had polled only 21,582 votes. In the race for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, John F. Fitzgerald, former mayor of Boston, polled a remarkable vote despite the fact that he formally retired from the field a few days before the primary. Ely Is Certain Winner Mayor James M. Curley of Boston had urged Massachusetts Democrats to nominate Fitzgerald, pointing out that if this were done Fitzgerald could then withdraw and the Democratic state committee could name a “capable substitute.” On the basis of incomplete returns it appeared certain that Joseph B. Ely, western Massachusetts candidate, had won the nomination over Fitzgerald and John J. Cummings of Boston. Returns from 928 precincts out of a total of 1,649 in the state gave; Ely, 67,549; Fitzgerald. 48,451; Cummings, 5,461. Allen ‘Coasts In’ The five-cornered fight for the Democratic nomination for United States senator developed into a contest between Marcus A. Coolidge, wealthy manufacturer, and Joseph F. O’Connell, former congressman, who had campaigned from his bedside by radio as result of illness. Returns from 928 precincts gave: Coolidge, 62,414; O’Connell, 33,356; Thomas C. O’Brien, 25,081; Eugene N. Foss, 7,214; Peter J. Joyce, 2,469. Governor Frank G. Allen encountered little opposition in winning the Republican renomination for his office. Nine hundred and twentyeight precincts gave the Governor 124,030 votes compared with 8,487 for his opponent, former Mayor John D. Devir of Malden. Delaware Wet Named Bu United Press DOVER, Del., Sept. 17.—Possibility of a split in the ranks of Delaware Democrats was seen today as a result of the nomination of former Senator Thomas F. Bayard for the United States senate on a wet platform. , . Bayard was nominated at the Democratic state convention Tuesday night over Josiah Marvel, president of the American Bar Association. Although Marvel, after his defeat, urged support of Bayard in the campaign, dry leaders predicted the adoption of a wet plank would cause a rift in the party. Bayard had been indorsed by Pierre and Irenee Dupont and. others. Colonel John P. Lefevre of Dover, also a wet, was nominated for congress. NYE CHARGES ‘COVERING UP’ McCormick Aids Accused of ‘Shading’ Fund Donors. 81/ United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—Senator Gerald P. Nye (Rep., N. D.) charged today that “apparently an effort was made to cover up some of the donors” to Ruth Hanna McCormick’s victorious campaign last spring for the Illinois senatorial nomination. Nye, head of the senate campaign fund investigating committee, w-hich is endeavoring to ascertain how much Mrs. McCormick spent to win the primary election, made the charges as he questioned James Rodgers, Mrs. McCormick’s financial secretary, and the first witness at today’s session of the hearing. Rodgers testified he cashed a $2,500 check contributed by Robert R. McCormick, Chicago Tribune publisher, and that he gave the money to aid a McCormick organization. Nye asked why Rodgers had cashed the check instead of merely indorsing it. Rodgers replied he was acting under instructions. “You can see. Mr. Rodgers,” Nye said sharply, “that the committee | is led to believe that apparently an j effort was made to cover up some I of the donors to Mrs. McCormick's j campaign.”

Philip F. La Follette, as the Republican candidate for Governor. Returns from Tuesday’s primary showed that La Follette had been swept into office by an idicated majority of 120.000 votes, carrying with him the progressive slate. The outcome was so conclusive that Governor Walter J. Kohler’s managers conceded defeat today. La Follette’s lead grew to 91,000 when 2,111 out of 2,826 precincts were counted. They gave La Follette 273,426 and Kohler 182,281 votes. Lieutenant Governor Henry A. Huber of Stoughton, was renominated over Harry G. Dahl of Lacrosse, regular Republican candidate.

SKIP-STOP PLAN IS PROPOSED RY TROLLEY CHIEF Schedule to Increase Speed Would Go Into Effect Next Spring. Proposal to operate street cars on a skip-stop schedule, to increase speed 17 per cent and aid in clearing Indianapolis traffic difficulties, was made this afternoon to the citizens traffic committee by James P. Tretton, Indianapolis Street Railway Company’s general manager. Tretton's proposal followed recommendations by Todd Stoops, chairman of the committee, that the plan be put into operation. Tretton said in placing the system in operation on the twentyseven lines in the city, the speed to the downtown district would be boosted 17 per cent during morning and late afternoon rush hours. Tretton told the committee he did not favor immediate operation of the new schedule, but that he wanted time to outline its operation on each line so it might be classed as a “selective stop” schedule. He said many streets that would not be included in a regular skipstop lineup might demand a stop because of heavy traffic. The system, if put into effect, would be operated next spring. No change in schedules would be caused by operation of one-man cars on Sundays. CANADA RAISES TARIFFRATES Neighbor Country * Kicks Back at U. S. Levies. Bu United Press ' OTTAWA, Ontario, Sept. 17.—A new system of tariff rates superceding and drastically increasing counterbalancing duties imposed by the liberal government in retaliation for the Hawley-Smoot tariff of the United States, went into effect today. The new rates give preference to products from within the British empire and favor nations which have trade reciprocity agreements with Canada. Goods from the United States and other nations not having such agreements are taxed heavily. The system was introduced Tuesday in the house of commons by Premier Richard R. Bennett. The government claims it will provide a remedy for unemployment 4>y giving work to at least 25,000 persons, and, in addition, help develop key industries. TEACHER FUND KEEPSLEVY OP Retirement Tax Gain Stops State Scale Slash. Indiana's teacher retirement fund tax levy, which started out with the modest levy of 2 mills in 1921, and increased to 2 cents in 1929, must be raised another 4 mills this year and thereby prevents any possibility of a decrease in the 29-cent state rate, it was reported at the statehouse today. The 29-cent levy is expected to be decided upon at a conference between the Governor, auditor and state tax commissioners late today. • The 4-mill teachers’ retirement increase must be deducted from the general state revenues to keep the 29-cent rate without increase. The new teachers’ retirement levy will be 2.4 cents. State levy will be based on a net valuation of $5,153,837,676, according to Lewis S. Bowman, secretary of the state tax board. This valuation is conservative and may increase when all figures are in, he said. Last year’s net valuation was $5,166,896,475, with mortgage exemptions deducted totaling $196,545,230. This year the mortgage exemptions leaped to $203,496,658. With the 29-cent state rate assured, Center township taxpayers will pay $2.79 on each SIOO of taxables, as announced some time ago by Harry Dunn, Marion county auditor. The rate will be made up as follows: 29 cents state, sl.Ol school city, sl.lO civil city, 35.5 cents Marion county and 2.79 Center township.

Fighting U. S. Prosecutor of New York Quits Post; Brands Dry Law Flop ’

Bu United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Charles H. Tuttle, United States attorney, who has prosecuted thousands of liquor cases in the last three years, is convinced national prohibition is a failure, and has submitted his resignation. Repeal of the eighteenth amendment and state option would do more to bring about “real temperance” than the present system. Tuttle said. The resignation was dispatched to President Hoover.

The federal prosecutor, one of the most vigorous New York has had in recent years, thus becomes the third high public official in this state to advocate repeal within the last few months. Maurice Campbell, prohibition administrator, stepped out of office charging Washington enforcement officials with “insincerity.” A few days ago Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, formerly an ardent dry, said he had reached the conclusion the eighteenth amendment had failed and, like the others, suggested local option as a substitute. Tuttle’s statement comes at a tinie when he is being hailed as the chief hope of New York Republicans to lead their ticket to victory in the state election. S.uch prominent Republican leaders as Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler have declared Governor Roosevelt and the Democrats will sweep the state unless the Republicans can put up a strong gubernatorial candidate who favors unequivocal repeal of the dry law. Tuttle, in his statement of resignation said he did not wish to be considered a candidate for Governor, but so strong is his popularity throughout the state that an effort to draft him at the state convention appears

almost certain. Tuttle suggests two constitutional guarantees to supplant the eighteenth amendment. These are: A federal law' to prevent return of the saloon system and private liquor traffic. A measure empowering the national government to assist states which desire to retain prohibition. Tuttle, a prominent churchman, has long been an active temperance supporter. He said he had arrived at his conclusions about the eighteenth amendment “very reluctantly.”
