M'NUTT LASHES ‘CORRUPTION' IN G. 0, PJECORD Democratic Keynoter Hurls i Challenge Over Radio Station Hookup. ' Laid bare by Paul V. McNutt. Indiana today saw spread before its eyes a record of ‘conniption, inefficiency and misrepresentation which the Democratic leaders feel will result in their installation in power at the polls Nov. 4. Availing himself of this opportunity to asnwer the “plaintive question” of Senator James E Watson, the Democratic campaign keynoter hurled through the air over a. three-station hook-up Wednesday night vitriolic criticism of “Republican national and state misrule.” Thousands of party workers and Independent voters heard the Democratic challenger in their homes and at county and district rallies. The McNutt speech was prefaced by the introduction of state candidates by R. Earl Peters, Democratic state chairman. Candidates Speak ' Candidates pledged themselves to faithful and efficient performance of duty if elected and speedy justice from the high courts. The introduction and addresses were delivered from the studio of station WFBM here and were carried into northern Indiana through WOWO at Ft. Wayne, and into the southern section by station WGBF, Evansville. Declaring that Watson's question as to “what would any Democrat have done that Hoover did not do in order to keep faith with the people” is a direct admission of failure by the Republican party. McNutt said, “the difference between Republican and Democratic achievement is the difference between form and substance.” “Republican spokesmen stated that the two main propositions involved in the 1928 Republican platform were farm relief and tariff revision,” McNutt declared. “A federal farm board was created, which is the form, but farmers still are waiting for economic equality with other industries, which is the substance. Wheat Slump Cited “Within the last few weeks the price of wheat fell to its lowest level in a quarter of a century, and the price of corn has been affected adversely. “The tariff revision has resulted in forcing the farmer to pay an additional $lO in price for what he consumes for every dollar of theoretical increase in the price of his own products. “Wage earners, without hope of increased returns for their service and suffering from curtailment and loss of employment, will pay one billion dollars additional for what they use. The unprotected manufacturer is losing his foreign market without compensation for loss, foreign nations have retaliated instituting reprisals.” Highway Eoard Lashed “In all fairness at least it must be said that one promise made by the Republican party has been performed,” McNutt said. “That promise was flood control and It was performed by a drought over which no political party has any control.” The keynoter then plunged into the welter of state administration “inefficiency, extravagance and corruption.” “An issue of first importance has to do with the state highway department, which is costing more than $20,000,000 each year and the people are willing to spend that vast sum provided they receive one dollar of value for each dollar expended.” The Governor has bragged that the construction and maintenance has been paid for in cash under the pay-as-we-go system. At this minute the highway commission is

Do Have a Puff-ball!

There’s cream puffs and powder puffs to bring out smiles like this one of Miss Jessie Strickland, Butler university sophomore, but it happens to be neither variety of the “puff” that engineers this one. Instead Miss Strickland’s smiling at the gastronomical feast she has in her frying pan, a giant puff-ball. The puff-ball popped up in the school’s botanical garden.

impaired by a deficit <*f approximately $2,000,000. Record Is Criticised “The commission frantically has endeavored to make loans and has had to issue to contractors certificates of indebtedness representing the amounts owed by the state to them. The failure to procure federal aid, which is available under certain circumstances, may be traced to the inefficient handling of affairs of the commission.” McNutt cited the investigation by the attorney-general of shortages of $14,688 by state oil inspectors. He told of efforts made to prod the office of the insurance commissioner to collect $92,742 due the state from nonresident insurance companies and then launched a broadside at the Governor’s expenditures from the emergency fund. "In addition to failure to collect money due to the state the expenditures from the Governor’s contingency fund for elaborate and costly house furnishings have raised a, serious question in the minds of a tax burdened populace,” he said. Valuation Decreased “From 1921 until 1930 under Republican rules the net value of taxables has decreased $671,830,665, the total taxes levied have increased $38,598,247, the mortgage exemptions deducted have increased $84,125,458, and the amount expended for township poor relief has increased sl,170,164.” Charging that Republican executives have shirked their responsibility in tax relief and law enforcement by appointing commissions to look after this important factor of our civic life, McNutt declared that “the Democratic party has adopted the sound economic principle that the tax burden should be distributed

“And it’s good to eat when fresh,” vouches Miss Strickland as she cites the recipe of Willard N. Clute, curator of the herbarium, for frying a puff-ball sandwich. Clute says, “when fresh, the edible puff-ball is like an unbaked loaf of bread, I’ve taken many of them home to eat. Just slice them up, dip them in eggs and fry them.

LEGS DIAMOND MAY RECOVER, SAYJOCTORS Police Know Names of Three at Conference Before Hotel Shooting. Bu United Press g NEW YORK, Oct. 16. Jack (Legs) Diamond, racketeer, who was thought fatally wounded after assailants shot him four times Sunday morning, is clinging tenaciously to life today and even showing signs of improvement. Diamond is showing the same physical stamina that pulled him through when he was shot in 1927, at the time Little Augie Orden was murdered. Physicians said today he still has a chance of recovery unless pneumonia sets in. Edward P. Mulrooney, police commissioner, said he knew the names of three of the four men who visited Diamond at the Monticello hotel Friday night. Mulrooney believes two of these men were the ones who returned Sunday morning to Diamond’s hotel room and shot him.

a group to which Diamond belonged. Marion Roberts, Ziegfeld beauty, who was with Diamond just prior to the shooting, is said to have told police that a “Max” or “Maxie” was one of those at the Friday night conference. Os three gangsters held for questioning in the case, two were released Wednesday night. The other, Salvatore Arcidiaco, alias Danny Brocco. was said to have been identified by the showgirl as one of Friday’s conferees. The others were Charles Entratta, co-defendants with Diamond in the Hotsy-Totsy night club murders, and Arthur Flagenheimer, alias Dutch Schultz, Bronx beer baron. Turned Down Proposition Entratta was questioned on the theory he might have nursed a grudge against Diamond because he was left to face the Hotsy-Totsy indictment alone. Diamond did not appear until after Entratta was acquitted. Detectives checked movements, however, ana learned he had not been in New York Sunday. Miss Roberts, on being confronted by Schultz, admitted she did not know him and the gangster denied any knowledge of Diamond’s shooting. He admitted having had a conference with the wounded beer lord earlier, but said he decided not to

accept the “proposition” Diamond put to him at that time. Farm Editor Speaks Bn Times Special MILTON, Ind.. Oct. 16.—The need of anew state Constitution was discussed by James R. Moore, editor of the Hoosier Farmer, here before the Washington township farm bureau.
