WRIGLEY GIVES BUILDING FOR 50,000 NEEDY Food and Shelter to Be Provided by Chicago Philanthropist. Hu United Prtai CHICAGO, Oct. 10.—Chicago’s army of 50,000 destitute men who sleep in damp freight subways, wrapped in tattered newspapers, saw a glimmer of hope today in the announcement that a building, donated by William Wrlgley, philanthropist and chewing gum manufacturer, will be opened Saturday for their use. The spirit which moved Wrigley, who owns the Chicago Cubs baseball team, to provide food and shelter for part of the city’s down-and-outors has been revealed by Colonel Arthur Grewer of the Salvation Army, Colonel Grewer quoted Wrigley as saying: “T can’t rest, thinking of those shivering and hungry men sleeping outside on these cold nights. This m.rning (that was last Saturday) I was up at 5 o’clock trying to think of some way to help.” Building Put in Readiness ‘ 'lf the Salvation Army will cooperate, I have a building which might shelter some of the unemployed',” continued Wrigley, Wrigley gave $5,000 to install proper facilities in the building, a six-story structure which would bring thousands of dollars monthly in rent. Happy for an opportunity to keep busy, scores of men are putting the building in readiness. Bathing and kitchen facilities have been installed. Manufacturers and business men gave cots, chairs and blankets. The work was supervised by charity workers and progressed so rapidly that the first few hundred men will occupy the building Saturday night. Two Meals a Day Suggested “Mr. Wrigley has suggested,” Colonel Grewer said, “that we give the men two meals a day. He also w ill keep the building heated and lighted during the winter, in itself an expensive proposition. “We expect to care for 2,000 men nightly, accepting only the most deserving cases. Perhaps we may open another building. “We expect that other men like Mr. Wrigley will donate to the $50,000 which we need to keep the destitute from starvation or death by freezing this winter.” CO-EDS’ LEGS PLAIN, : SCHOOL PAPER SAYS Missouri U.

State Cops Aid Fifield in Race; Pass Out Signs

State police, during the campaign, might not be bothering much about proper headlights, but they are spending considerable time in seeing that spare tires loom up properly with the tire covers shown in the picture. State police headquarters at the statehouse has been turned into a warehouse for these tire covers. Officers come from throughout the state and get their quota for distribution. Tire covers were found too expensive for propaganda purposes for purchase by the Indiana Republican state committee, but Secretary of State Otto G. Fifield found funds to finance his own. Taxpayers finance the distribution through the state police force. A move is under way to get the 1931 legislature to create a department of safety designed to take over the state police and eliminate their political activities.

Bv l'niled Pres* WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 10.— The senate campaign investigating committee was here today to open hearings into chargee that w'ets spent huge sums of money in Delaware to defeat the dry candidate for the senatorial nomination at the recent democratic state convention. Josiah Marvel, dry, entered the convention an overwhelming favorite against former Senator Thomas F. Bayard. A secret ballot, in itself contrary to custom, resulted in the nomination ot Bayard, an anti-pro-hibitionist. Bayard was backed by Pierre S. Dupont, a principal contributor to the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment. He also was understood to have the backing of John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee. The direct charge has been made to the senate committee that convention votes were bought. Psychologist Enters Yale B.u Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., Oct. 10.— Dr. W.

POLITICS GALE STILL SWEEPING LATINJMERICA Revolt Peril Continues in Many Parts of South America. BY HARRY W. FRANTZ, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. The political hurricane which has swept latin-America since December, causing revolt or cabinet crises in ten countries, has not yet entirely abated, according to the private views of many diplomats and international authorities here. While civil war rages in Brazil, the executive power in other countries tends to gravitate into the strongest hands, an if rumors of possible revolt In several other countries do not materialize, it will be due to the fact that the “ins” have been able to dominate their challenging rivals. Washington, committed to a policy of non-interference in the great political drama, observes the series of developments with keen realization that the major underlying cause is economic. Until world markets again can absorb Latin-American commodities in larger quantities and at normal prices there is little optimism here for improved political conditions, Latin-American prosperity is determined, in different countries by the prices of coffee, sugar, tin, wool, hides, silver, cotton, cacao, cereals, copper and petroleum. Prices fiow are from 10 to 50 per cent below a year ago. Thought of experienced international observers here, as expressed privately, concerning the situation in some of the Latin-American countries, substantially is as follows: Argentina emerged from her national crisis with her economic and political prestige unimpaired. But the evolution of economic and political refoims contemplated by the new government tends to be handicapped by the depression in countries to which she ships her immense exports, and by the tendency of foreign investors to regard Latin-American bond issues in a single block. Concerning Brazil, foreign opinion
