NIBLACK CHIEF OF G. 0, P, CLUB Elected President of New Marion for Year, John L. Niblack, attorney and state senator, was elected president of the New Marion Club at the annual election Thursday night, when Joseph G. Hayes, former county commissioner, was chosen vice-presi-dent; William A Boyce Jr., former city clerk, secretary, and Joseph Foppiano, treasurer. Declaring the club has two immediate purposes, Niblack said: “The first is to conduct an active campaign in behalf of re-election of the present Marion county judges and prosecutor, all of whom have made an honorable record and are men of experience and integrity. The second is to prepare bills for primary and election safe-guards to the ballot and push them through the coming session of the legisla- | ture. “To this end the Marion Club intends to take a poll of the Republican candidates for the legislature as to their views on such much needed legislation. We will make an active campaign in behalf of those who are willing to indorse and support such bills.” stagT~oebut is made Ethel Barrymore's Daughter Takes Small Part in First Play.

RASKOB’S FIANCEE FLARES UP AT GOSSIP OF ‘CINDERELLA ROMANCE’

BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Writer NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Sept. 26. —When John J. Raskob Jr. began calling at the Aaronson’s modest apartment in an equally modest neighborhood here, it was 16-year-old Minerva who raced down the long stairs of the twofamily house to admit him. But it was her elder sister Esther who received the financier's son and went with him to shows and college dances. If that sounds like the beginning of the “Cinderella romance” that some sensation-seekers refer to in connection with the recently announced engagement of young Raskob and Minerva Elaine Aaronson, don't mention it to his fiancee. Her large dark eyes flash with indignation when she hears the story' of how the “kid sister” of a poor Jewish family won the heart of a prince of fortune whose father had been knighted by the pope.

Green Assails Nonunion Painting of White House Bu United Press WASHINGTON. Sept. 26.—Protest of President William Green of the American Federation of Labor had been added today to the “great many” others which followed employment of nonunion workers to paint the White House. Green termed the incident "very unfortunate” and said he intended to seek legislation to assure organized labor government contract jobs. He opposed the present “lowest bidder” law and advocated one to direct awards of contract to the “best and most responsible bidders” and insuring workers “prevailing wages.” The labor leader's protest followed the disclosure that nonunion men engaged by R. K. Ferguson, Inc., are now engaged in painting the White House. A statement concerning the award of this contract was made by Colonel U. S. Grant 111. director of public buildings and grounds. Grant cited the law requiring award of contracts to the lowest bidder and said the Ferguson company's bid was the lowest of four received.

SUPREMACY IN HOUSE OBJECT I OF DEMOCRATS Legislative Candidates Reveal Goal at Campaign Plan Meeting. CHARGE EXTRAVAGANCE Governor Leslie and State Highway Body Bear Brunt of Attack. BY BEN STERN Battle plans of both parties for the 1930 campaign have at last been framed and call for the strongest offensive on the legislative front. At a meeting resounding with cries for tax reductions, investigation of administration scandals and assaults on the statement made by Governor Harry G. Leslie that he would approve none but a Republican gerrymander bill on congressional reapportionment, Democratic legislative candidates Thursday prepared to wrest the house majgrity from their opponents. At the same time R. Earl Peters, state chairman, declared that the state committee would soon be able to provide candidates with material and statistics compiled by investigators and accountants which would show how the Republican administration has carelessly spent the millions raised through taxation.

Leslie Called Extravagant ! He cited extravagance of Gov- : ernor Leslie, the highway commission: gas tax collection evasions, deficiencies in* the accounts of the oil inspection department and al- j leged violations of the “blue sky” law. A plea that legislative candidates adopt a resolution declaring that if they have control of the house they will pass the lowest appropriation measure in a decade, was made by Earl Crawford of Milton, farmer and banker, former member of the state highway commission and candidate for state representative from Wayne and Union counties. Candidates rebuffed Crawford’s demand, with the statement that the matter will be considered after the election. Preparation of anew tax bill by the administration’s tax commission, which would recommend the adoption of an income tax and reform of the entire system of taxation so as to lift the burder from real and personal property, was reported by George Saunders, a commission member and Bluffton publisher, Democratic floor leader in 1929 and Candidate for re-election as representative,. Democratic Trend Reported Martin Krueger, former mayor of' Michigan City and candidate for representative, and State Senator Thurman Gottchalk of Berne, member of the state budget committee, -joined with other candidates in a plea that the state committee concentrate its heaviest fire in the doubtful districts, and Peters declared that polls taken heretofore of overwhelmingly Republican precincts reveal a strong Democratic majority. The chairman promised to send speakers and literature into doubt- j ful sections. Walter Myers, Marion countv j candidate for representative ana j outstanding contender for speaker, j took Leslie to task for his statement made at the meeting of Republican candidates and state committeemen Tuesday that he would approve only a Republican gerrymander. Richard Werneke, prominent Vigo county Democratic leader, and William Storen, candidate for state treasurer, took Leslie to task for his expenditures from the emergency fund upon the mansion and general Republican extravagance.

LOVE TRIANGLE IS HINTED IN DEATHJROBE Chemist Indicates Poison Ended Life of Martinsville Woman. B.u Times Special MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Sept, 26Friendliness of a married man with a single woman was being investigated today by a grand jury here, in an effort to find the cause of the death of Mrs. Carrie Thelma Pryor. 22. Mrs. Pryor died Aug. 19, just eleven days after her husband, Ernest Pryor, took out a $3,000 life insurance policy in her name. Pryor is in the county jail here pending the jury probe of his wife's death, A report from a state chemist indicated that arsenic in a quantity more than sufficient to cause death was found. The probe into the alleged platonic relations of Pryor began today, with Miss Elsie Ham of Brazil, appearing before the jury for questioning. Miss Ham was called as witness from her home, when it was reported to the prosecutor’s office here that she and Pryor had been friendly before his wife’s death. It is understood that Mrs. Pryor and the unmarried woman were related distantly. Miss Ham was employed in Martinsville. Since Pryor's Incarceration a week ago, he has denied to authorities that his wife’s death was due to poisoning. Fifty witnesses, in addition to Miss Ham, have been summoned by the jury to investigate the case. FORD POLICE CHIEFS LIFE IS THREATENED Death Attempts Made Because of Aid in Kidnaping Case.

Wet and Dry Issue Will Be in Forefront; Tariff and Hoover Record Also Are Prominent. BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 25—Democrats and Republicans, wets and drys, are embarked on the fall election campaign which will end with the election of thirty-four senators, 435 representatives, about thirty-five Governors and a horde of lesser state officials and legislators on Tuesday, Nov. 4. Outstanding issues being advanced by rival candidates are the record of the Hoover administration, the tariff, the business depression, prohibition, unemployment and conditions among the farmers. The Democrats are expected to gain in both house and senate. There is some chance that they may get a majority in the house. There is less chance that they will capture the senate, although they will share control there in a strengthened allliance with'the Republican progressives. The wets have no chance of capturing either house, but they are expected to gain in both. Several Contests Heated - The most exciting contests seem j to be these: ILLINOIS: Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, Republican, vs. James Hamilton Lewis. Democrat, to. Mrs. ' Lottie Holman O'Neill, independent j dry. NEW JERSEY: Dwight W. Mor- \ row, Republican, vs. Alexander! Simpson, Democrat. NEBRASKA: Senator George W. ■ Norris, Republican, vs. Gilbert M. | Hitchcock, Democrat. ALABAMA: Senator J Thomas Heflin, independent indorsed by the Republicans, vs. John H. Bankhead, Democrat. MASSACHUSETTS: William M Butler, Republican, vs. Marcus A. Coolidge, Democrat. OHIO: Senator Roscoe C. McCulloch, Republican, vs. Robert J. Bulkley, Democrat.

MONTANA: Senator Thomas J. Walsh, Democrat, vs. Albert J. Galen, Republican. Democrats Put Up Fight Elsewhere strong battles will be put up by these Democrats who hope to succeed Republicans: Edward P. Costigan against George H. Shaw in Colorado, Thomas Gore against W. B Pine in Oklahoma, Governor William J. Bulow against Senator William H. McMaster in South Dakota, Thomas F. Bayard against Senator Daniel O Hastings in Delaware, M, M. Neely against J, Elwood Jones in West Virginia and former Senator Peter Gerry against Senator Metcalf in Rhode Island. Aside from Illinois, the wet-dry issue will predominate in the senatorial elections of Massachusetts, Ohio, Montana and Delaware. Marcus Coolidge of Massachusetts is a mod ideation ist and is likely to beat Butler, who decided to be dry. The dry Senator Walsh said he would vote as his constituents directed him in any referendum and subsequently has been given the edge over Galen, a wet. Bulkley of Ohio, a Democratic | wet, is much more likely to win 1 than -was previously supposed, according to latest reports. In Delaware. Bayard is wet and Senator Hastings is dry. There are wet-dry fights in many congressional districts. Many senatorial candidates are sure of election owing to lack of sufficient opposition. Republicans already have elected Wallace White in Maine. They are sure to reelect Borah of Idaho, Me Nan of j Oregon, Couzens of Michigan, Capper and Allen of Kansas and Keyes; of New Hampshire.

19,407 SIGN UP AS DETROIT JOB BUREAUJJPENS Stand in Line to Register I for Employment When Survey Starts. BY JOSEPH F. HEARST United Press Staff Correspondent DETROIT, Sept. 26—A big city, hopeful of doing something to relieve the enforced idleness of its thousands, today checked over the names of its unemployed, and looked about to se what could be done for them. Registration of unemployed was one of the first acts of the administration of Detroit’s new mayor, Frank Murphy. Thursday afternoon and evening those out of work were registered. The number who signed cards was 19,407, of these, 3,007 said immediate employment, was imperative. Registration was made at twoscore places in the city. To those in charge men and women, begging for a chance to earn a living, told their names, their previous occupations, their trades and abilities. The registration booths were to have opened at 4 p. m., but long before that hour lines at the appointed places had grown so long that the work was started earlier. v At. city hall more than 2,000 were in line early in the afternoon. In sections tenanted by the poor and the unskilled laborers, thou- I sands stood in line. There were no disorders or demonstrations. The men stood quietly. There were men who had held good jobs in factories, skilled workmen, they said they were, but willing to take any job that would keep them from begging charity. Here and there a clerk or an office man was found. Mostly, though, the men were common laborers.

Our plans can't be definite yet, because Mr. Raskob just has started his new job in Boston.” a a a A S a matter of fact, Miss Aaronson implied that she may continue working after mar- | nage. “I know lots of girls who do,” she said, “whether it's necessary or not. A girl who has worked for some time often finds that outi side interests are necessary. 1 “Money wouldn't have anything to do with it in my case, perhaps. But that story about having $2,000,000 settled on us is absurd, of course. We’re going to ; live just like any other young cou- ' pie. We wouldn't have it any other way.” She isn’t quite clear about just what young Raskob is doing with the firm in Boston. “Why, it's some sort of position.” she explained, haltingly. “Something quite "technical, I suppose. He’s an engineer, you know.” Their future place of residence also is on the indefinite list. It will be, she supposes, “just a modest little place that we can afford,” perhaps in Boston, or wherever Mr. Raskob is employed.

BUY WHAT YOU NEED, IS PLEA TO AIDTRADE Secretary Lamont Urges Nation to Make All Normal Purchases. TREND UPWARD IS SEEN Department Store Sales Found Little Below Mark of 1928. Otost advice rerardine the.business itaation hasakren aimed at the bir business man. The United Press asked Secretary of Commerce lamont. whose department is devoted to the business welfare of the nation, what the averate man should do. His answer is contained in the fo-Uow-ins: exclusive interview.) BY RAYMOND CLAPPER f nited Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1930. by United Press) WASHINGTON. Sept, 26— If the average man will continue to buy the things he normally needs, he will assist business in its climb back toward prosperity. Robert P. Lamoijt, secretary of commerce, told I the United Press today. He cited evidence from government reports which he regards as encouraging evidence that consumers are buying and thereby helping to stimulate retail trade, which he considers the backbone of business activity. Though cautious regarding predictions, Secretary Lamont finds the downward course of business apparently halted and believes it passible the country is on the threshold of an upturn. He deplored pessimism in the face of the facts available. Buying Ls Urged A business man of long experience and director in many concerns, and now head of the government department, most, intimately in contact with the nation's business, was asked by the United Press what the average man and woman could do to help stimulate business conditions. “The business man,’’ he replied, “has a certain obligation to the community to keep his men employed as far as he possible can, to help hold up general buying power. Likewise, the individual salaried person and wage earner has a similar responsibility to contribute to the general business activity of his community. “A multitude of small items largely contribute toward the total business of the nation The most important single*thing that can be done now is for each one of us to continue normal, reasonable buying. I said that last December, and I repeat it now.

Banks Are Sound ! “The banking system of our country is sound. The American people long since, I believe, have gained the fullest confidence on that score. It is contrary to the general spirit of our people to hoard and there is no evidence that this is being done. “If every man and woman will continue to buy the things normally needed, put aside a. small percentage for savings, and buy much of the additional articles which contribute to general comfort and enjoyment as properly can be as- ■ forded, retail trade, the backbone j of business activity, will move for- ; ward steadily. This is what the j average person can contribute toward the nation's prosperity.” Evidence in his department reports, Lamont believes, indicates the average person Ls doing this very thing. “There are indications in reports which we are receiving at the department of commerce that the consumer has maintained his purchases to a rather surprising extent,” he said. “If we disregard the abnormally high figures of 1929, we find retail sales are not very far below those customary in previous years. Sales Hold Up “Thus for the first eight months of 1930 the value of sales of department stores, as reported to the Federal Reserve board, was only 3 or 4 per cent less than in 1928, due in large measure to the fact that the prices of goods are lower now than two years ago. “The business of mail order houses and of chain stores also furnishes encouraging evidence of the atttitude of consumers toward buying, although for the most part the statistics for these classes of dealers afe not comparable from year to year because the leading mail order houses recently have begun the establishment of branch stores in various areas for direct saie to local consumers, in addition to their mail order business." REALTY BOARD SALES CAMPAIGN PLANNED Second Annual Drive to Be Held Oct. 10 to 22. Second annual sales campaign of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board will be held Oct. 10-22, Fred L.
