mOVER DARES PRESIDENT GRAVEYARD IN SHALE CASE

2 EXECUTIVES SLIPPED UP ON INTERIOR OFFICE Defense of Wilbur’s Oil Policy Recalls That of Ballinger by Taft. HARDING BACKED FALL Senate Investigation May Result in Volcano to Wreck G. 0. P. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Pres Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—Once more a President of the United States has rushed past danger signals to take up defense of that graveyard ol Presidents, the interior department. Defying the fate which befell two of his predecessors In this role, Mr. Hoover has mastered all of the loyalty in his nature to vindicate his old Stanford schoolmate, Ray Lyman Wilbur, interior secretary, charged by a subordinate with giving oil companies a free hand in government oil shale land in Colorado. Seldom have newspaper correspondents seen President Hoover so stirred as when he declared that the charges against Wilbur were “reckless, baseless and infamous fabrications,” and that they were being exploited by political opponents in a way to do damage to the government service. May Prove Volcano Whether the affair has been ended by President Hoover’s emphatic exoneration, or whether it wil seethe up into another such volcano as rocked two previous administrations which sought to defend the interior department may depend upon how seriously congress takes these charges. Chairman Nye of the senate public lands committee has indicated he will press for an investigation at the coming session. This was referred to last night by Kelley, who said: “In view of the President’s attitude, a thorough investigation by the senate public lands committee is, in my opinion, imperatively necessary.” President Taft fought for Interior Secretary Ballinger. Theodore Roosevelt came back from Africa, woke up the opposition, and the Taft administration was wrecked. Ten years later, President Harding defended Interior Secretary Fall in the Teapot Dome affair. Only his sudden death prevented him from living through the humiliation of seeing his trusted friend adjudged by the United States supreme court a “faithless public officer.” There are striking parallels so far between the Kelley and Ballinger cases. Ralph S. Kelley was chief of the 'field division of the general land office when he recently made the oil shale charges. The Case of Ballinger Louis R. Glavis, in the same post, charged his superior. Secretary of Interior Ballinger, with permitting coal interests to obtain government coal lands in Alaska, by much the same processes Kelley alleges were used by the oil interests in the shale fields. Gifford Pinchot, now Republican candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania and then chief forester of the United States forest service, a holdover Roosevelt appointee, supported Glavis. Taft exonerated Ballinger and dismissed Glavis. Later there was a congressional investigation, such as Senator Nye now proposes. It disclosed Taft had directed George W. Wickersham, then attorney-general and now head of the President’s law enforcement commission, to prepare a summary, as Attorney - General Mitchell has done in the Kelley case. History May Be Repeated The President stated Wickerham’s report was the basis of his statement of exoneration, but the congressional investigation testimony was that the Taft exoneration actually had been prepared by a subordinate of Ballinger and that the Wickersham summary had been drafted later and had been predated at the President's request. This disclosure, creating a nationwide sensation at the time, was forced out incidentally by Louis D. Brandeis, now on the supreme court, but at that time counsel for Glavis. It was this, work which in part brought Brandeis to the attention of Woodrow' Wilson a few’ years later for appointment to the high court. A majority of the committee exonerated Ballinger, but the Republicans lost control of the house in the 1911 elections and with impeachment charges threatened, Ballinger resigned one day before the new’ " ngress met.

REPUBLICAN ORGY OF WASTE CHARGED

Legislature Blamed for Public Money Misuse by Jacob Weiss. “Responsibility for making passible the wild orgy of expenditure by state officials that has caused Indiana citizens to rise in revolt rests upon the Republican legislature,” declared Jacob Weiss, candidate for state representative, at a Democratic rally Tuesday night at Keystone avenue and Forty-sixth street. He pointed out that Republican legislative candidates in the 1928 campaign promised that expenditures and taxes would be reduced. “They have made these same promises other two years for the last fourteen years, but have caused a still greater tax burden to be placed upon the people, and have opened the gates for unprecedented waste,” he said. “It was the Republican legislature that gave Governor Harry G. Leslie the SIO,OOO extra money under guise of maintenance; that voted the additional $4,800 for his purchase of an automobile, under the pretense of equipment, and provided him with a $200,000 emergency fund with which he has rim wild. “Similar examples of reckless extravagances are spread upon the public records and still the Republican candidates make the same promises. “The only hope for relief,” according to Weiss, "is a Democratic legislature.”

RECEIVER ASKED BY WASHINGTON BANK'S CHIEFS Hearing on Petition to 3e Held Next Week Before Judge Chamberlin. Hearing on a petition for appointment of a receiver for the Washington company, holding company for the Washington Bank and Trust Company, Is scheduled for next week before Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin. Petition was filed Tuesday by William T. Pearcy, secretary-treasurer of the Washington bank, following voluntary closing of the bank late Monday. “The holding company is in imminent danger of insolvency due to its lack of cash sufficient to pay current taxes, running expenses and existing indebtedness, and current funds are unavailable as they are in the Washington Bank and Trust Company,” the petition states. The receiver should be named “to preserve the large amount of real estate assets of the company,” it pleads. With filing of the receivership petition, audit of the bank’s books was being conducted by Luther F. Symons, state banking commissioner, who said a statement of the bank’s condition will not be forthcoming until the audit is completed. Heavy withdrawals during Saturday and Monday led directors, headed by J. Edward Morris, president, to issue a voluntary request to have the state take charge of the bank’s affairs.

STATES 1 RIGHTS ! ON RUM FLAYED BY DRJVILSON 'Rather See Old Days Than U. S. Control,’ Asserts Dry Law Champion. Dwight Morrow, the Anti-Saloon I League, and the stock speculations j of Bishop James Cannon Jr., re- j ceived censure from Dr. Clarence j True Wilson, dry law champion, j when he addressed the area con- j ference of the Methodist Episcopal church in Roberts Park Methodist church Tuesday night. Dr. Wilson credited the fame of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh with winning the senatorial nomination of New Jersey for his “in-law,” Morrow. “And some of Morrow’s friends are going so far as to boost Morrow for the presidency. They want Morrow to run as a wet in wet states and as Lindy's father-in-law in dry states,” he declared. Hits Anti-Saloon League He rapped the Anti-Saloon League for placing approval on opposing candidates in elections and thereby losing dry champions. “There’s the case of Volstead, w’ho lost his seat in the house. The AntiSaloon League said both he and his j opponent were satisfactory, with the ’ result one of our staunchest drys j was read out of congress,” Dr. Wil- 1 son said. Os Bishop Cannon’s stock specu- j lations Dr. Wilson said, “The best j thing God can do when we speculate, as Cannon did, is to see that i we lose it." Calls Poll Inaccurate He decried the Literary Digest poll on prohibition as inaccurate and asserted “elections are the only true way to determine the sentiment of the people.” After reciting how he was called on by Collier’s magazine to go with Clarence Darrow to Canada to inspect governmental control of liquor and to write an article from the dry standpoint he asserted: “Our fight for the next five years will be against government ownership of liquor interests and states’ rights. That’sJx> be the slogan of the wets. Rather See Old Days “I would rather see the return of the open saloon, the brothels, the dominance of the brewery associations and have all that multiplied, than to see Uncle Sam up to his eyes in the liquor business as in Canada. “The wets and everyone admits that Uncle Sam is a poor business man, but the wets believe he’ll be a better saloon keeper,” he added. Ridicule of wet congressman and their methods, with attacks on the wet press and charges that the press had suppressed news vital to the dry cause, were made by Dr. Wilson.

Pour this into a pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to fill up the pint. This takes but a moment, and makes a remedy so effective that you will never do without. once you have used it. Keeps perfectly. and children^!ike it. This simple remedy does three necessary things. First, it loosens the germladen phlegm. Second, it soothes away the inflammation. Third, it is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes.

G. 0. P. TWISTS RASKOB WORDS Hall Says Democrat Aids Republican Cause. Assertion that the recent statement 'bf John J. Raskob predicting business revival is an indorsement from Democratic sources of Republican predictions was made by Archibald Hall, candidate for representative, in addresses at several Republican rallies Tuesday night. “Raskob merely is confirming what Republican leaders have been preaching for several weeks,” Hall declared in an attempt to give a partisan twist to the Democrat’s utterances. “With Democratic speakers joining in the Republican chorus of optimism, there can be no doubt that an upturn in business is near,” he said. Harry Yockey, who spoke at a rally at Pine street and English avenue, begged for united support of the ticket. Republican labor arguments were to be placed before the voters in several plants of the city at noon today. Attempts to enthuse the women workers are being made in a series of pep sessions at county headquarters, at which women ward leaders speak. VOODOOHAUNTS NEGRD FAMILY Couple Jailed, Car Seized and Apartment Burns. Voodoo Tuesday went on the trail of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Fowler', Negroes, 948 v 2 Hosbrook street. First the voodoo led Fowler before a municipal court judge, where he was convicted on a liquor charge, and penalized with a SIOO fine and sixty days jail sentence. Then it herded Mrs. Fowler into the hands of police on liquor sale charges. She was arrested with Clarence Jackson, 35, Negro, 1853 Lockwood street, alleged rum runner for the Fowler marital booze combination. They were in Fowler’s car, and the voodoo arranged things so that the auto was confiscated because liquor was seized in it. Finally the imp perched a short distance away from the Fowler apartment, and grinned as flames began to lick at the walls of the building. Theirs was one of four apartments that burned in the building early today.

GOURT FORBIDS LEVIES AGAINST POLICYHOLDERS Federal Auto Case Ruling to Be Appealed by Receiver. Appeal to the Indiana supreme court of a decision of Superior Judge William S. McMaster releasing former policyholders in the defunct Federal Automobile Association from assessments levied against them by the receiver was prepared today by receiver’s attorneys. At the same time Garret W. Olds, ! receiver, began an audit of his books | on instructions of the court preparatory to repaying wholly or in part the assessment paid by policy holders during the receivership. McMaster, finding in favor of more than 100,000 policyholders, a majority of whom live in Indianapolis, set aside a previous ruling of Superior Judge Byron K. Elliott, who a year ago ruled the assessment should be paid. $3,000,000 in Assessment Assessments aggregating about $3,000,000 had been levied against holders of policies in 1924, 1925, 1926 and 1927 under Elliott’s ruling. McMaster, successor to Elliott on the superior court four bench, rulea in favor of a group of policyholders, who filed an Intervening petition shortly after Elliott authorized the receiver to collect the assessments. The receivership was established in February, 1928, under Elliott. McMaster held former Judge Elliott had no jurisdiction to name a receiver for the so-called reserve fund of the association, and that the court had no authority to order assessment of former policyholders. Not to Indicate Refunds McMaster indicated he will not determine method of refunding money paid in assessments until a final decision has been made by the state supreme court. A recent report of the receiver shows he collected in excess of $30,000 under Elliott’s ruling, and at the same time incurred expenses of $71,229. Os this amount $20,000 was paid to the receiver end his attorneys, and the balar.ee was spent for auditing and traveling expensel McMaster in his twenty-two-page ruling declared Indiana statutes afford only “mild protection” to policyholders in reciprocal insurance companies. t Fault Not in Law “The fault is not, however, in the administration of the law. These parties (policyholders) entered into an ingenious arrangement for insurance which is all right when it works, but very disastrous when it fails,” McMaster said. “The statute which authorizes the plan of effecting insurance between subscribers on the reciprocal plan by exchanging contracts with each other, has set up very mild requirements for the protection of those who exchange contracts under its authority,” McMaster held. “The court is of the opinion that the appointment of a receiver in J this cause was valid, but that said | receiver has power only over funds j held in the exchange.” G. 0.

Smith, who attacked the tariff as well as prohibition in his speech, received a tremendous ovation reminiscent of that which greeted him on his appearance here in the 1928 campaign.

PLEA TO ROUT ! COFFIN VOICED BY HOLTZMAN Decent Republicans Urged to Regain Control of Their Party. •The rank and file of the Republican party, constituting a nfbjority, has lost control of the organization and no longer has a voice in nomination of declared John W. Holtzman, former mayor of Indianapolis, in a radio appeal Tuesday night over station. WFBM. He said the only manner in which the respectable element of the Republican party can rid itself of Coffinism is in the election of the Democratic ticket and so take away the patronage upon which the organization perpetuates itself. “There is no other way by which the party can free itself from the unholy hands that now have it in their clutches,” Holtzman said. “You have freed the city and | the schools from Coffinism. You i now’ have the opportunity to finish j the job of freeing the county. Tho - Democratic ticket is worthy of your ! support and the support of all citizens. “Our nominees are of the highest character and ability. Each is outstanding for honesty and efficient j service to the public, j “None is boss controlled and non© supported by the underworld. “Louis Ludlow, our candidate for congress is the best and most usej ful representative this district ever has had. He is of the highest type of American gentleman, both in public and private life. His defeat would be an irrevocable loss to this district and the country at large.” Holtzman declared the “plaintive cry of Republican officeseekers to support President Hoover is a far cry and has no local application and is made to distract attention from the principal Issue—Coffinism.” Describing the extravagances and waste caused by Coffinism, the former mayor declared that “private rather than public interests have been served and maladministration and graft have taken the place of honest public business.”
