POLITICAL RULE MAY SHIFT AS VOTING RESULT St. Joseph County Democrats May Unseat Lake G. 0. P. r u 7 imrH Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 10.— Political observers of northern Indiana look to the powerful Democratic machine of St. Joseph county to occupy the place in state politics held before the party victory at the polls Tueseday by the Republican organization of Lake county. The reign of the Lake county organization, which centered about the office of the county prosecutor with its estimated salary of SIOO,OOO, ended with the election of Democrats. For years the Calumet machine has been a powerful factor in shaping Republican policies at the capital. Recoognized as one of the most important units in the organization behind Senator James E. Watson, its reputation spread through the nation in informed circles as the best functioning unit of its kind. _ Criminal Case Recalled On more than one occasion the activitieo of important figures in the machine embarrassed the senator. The last occasion was about a year ago, the indictment of 200 Calumet residents, about half of them officials or henchmen of the organiza- j tion and the other half gangsters and racketeers. According to the indictments, many of which resulted in convictions, the operators of liquor and vice resorts of the region were paying through the nose for protection. Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago have benefited by state appropriation of funds for their arterial highways. Other northern Indiana counties have looked longingly at the prominent position of Lake in capital councils. Benefits from State Funds But the transfer of power from the Republicans to the Democrats does not lea’ northern Indiana, without a voice. The St. Joseph county machine which has so regularly piled up pluralities for the state tickets is expected to bear about the same relation to the incoming Democratic administration as Lake county’s did to the Republican. Otto Fifield, the present secretary of state, is from Crown Point, the county seat of Lake county. His successor. Frank Mayr, is a South Bend resident Chester Montgomery, former | South B?nd mayor and permanent chairman of the last state Democratic convention; Rudolph Ackermann, South Bend city controller and head of the St. Joseph county machine, and William P. O’Neill, Mishawaka, former Lieutenant-Gov-ernor, are exp. to extend their dominance in tne county to the state councils.

so prominently was identified. The famous soldier-statesman died early Sunday at Walter Reed hospital. He was nearly 77 and had been suffering for six months with an acute intestinal disorder.

After a career that took him into the Porto Rican campaign, where he was cited for gallantry in action, he served in the first military administration of Cuba and in 1905 went to the Philippines as a briga-dier-general. He served as chief-of-staff during the critical period of the World war Sept. 22, 1917, to May 10, 1918.

Some Light on City's Closed Bank Tangles

Events which preceded today’s court action in the receivership battle involving the City Trust Company, Washington Bank and Trust Company, the state banking commissioner, attorney-general and county courts were: Oct. 23—City Trust Company closes its doors, its directors blaming frozen assets, placing company’s affairs in hands of state banking department. Oct. 28—Washington Bank and Trust Company closed by its directors after heavy run Oct. 27; state banking department takes charge. Nov. s—Attorney-General James M. Ogden, through his chief deputy, Charles Werner, files suits in Marion circuit court (Harry O. Chamberlin, judge) asking appointment of receivers for both the City Trust Company and Washington Bank and Trust Company. Nov. 6.—Lutht F. Fymons. state banking ocmmlssioner, without Judge Chamberlin’s approval, withdraws the suits from circuit court, paying costs by personal check, and refiles them, designating 6ity Trust Company receivership suifPfor probate court (Mahlon E. Bash, judge) and Washington Bank and Trust Company suit for superior court five (Joseph M. Milner, Judge). Nov. 7—Attorney-General Ogden gnd Circuit Judge Chamberlin declare attempted transfer was without their approval. Symons refuses explanation of action. Thomas D. Barr, deputy banking commissioner, denies he is interested in being appointed receiver for either institution. Nov. B—Symonsß—Symons asserts that Jess Murden, Peru, state highway commisisoner, talked to him about transferring the suits from circuit court. Reported that Murden’s interest was inspired by Arthur B. Ayres, Newcastle capitalist and heavy donor to Republican state campaign funds, who, with George Marott, Indianapolis merchants, owns City Trust building, where City Trust Company pays $25,000 annual rent. Murden denies Symons’ assertion and disclaims acquaintance wilh Ayres. Ayres denies having asked Murden or Governor Harry G. Leslie to act. Report persists that Governor advised Symons by telephone to make the transfer if it could be done without embarrassment. Symons issues statement upholding his right to choose the courts, defends his action as intended for best interests of depositors. Attorney-general admits Symons’ charges that he (Ogden) filed the suits in circuit court despite the fact Symons intended them for superior and probate courts. Ogden explains he did this because Judges Milner and Bash leave office Jan. 1, 1931, and probate court lacks jurisdiction. Ralph Kane, attorney, announces his firm is entering appearance for City Trust Company in circuit court and in superior court five. ' Although suits, when reflled by Symons, bore penciled notation sending City Trust action to probate court and Washington Bank and Trust Company suit to superior court five, they now are found to be on file In just the opposite position.

BRUWN LIKELY TO OUST FESS AS GAP. HEAD Hoover Reported Planning Shakeup as Result of Election Losses. BY RAY TUCKER Tiroes Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—President Hoover will meet the disaster which befell his administration and the G. O. P. on Tuesday as an engineer rather thana politician, according to reports in political cirj cles today. Instead of sitting back quietly and hoping for the best in the immediate future and in 1932, as Calvin Coolidge was wont to do, it is tinderstood Hoover will inaugurate a sweeping reorganization in several executive departments and political offices. Strange faces may appear at the capital, it is said, including possibly one or two new cabinet members and anew national chairman to replace Senator Fess of Ohio, whose regime has been fraught with misfortune. Though Hoover’s main achievements have been in the field of foreign affairs, there are unconfirmed reports that Secretary Stimson may decide to retire to private life and his New York law practice. Post-master-General Brown of Ohio is mentioned as Fess’s successor. If Hoover seeks a renomination, Brown’s political astuteness would serve him well betweeii now and the next convention. Decide on Curtis Hoover also may be forced to decide whether he wants VicePresident Curtis as his next running mate. The latter’s friends are speaking of him as a candidate for the senate seat which Henry J. Allen lost to a Democrat on last Tuesday. Curtis is reported to be dissatisfied with loneliness of his present post, and to feel the urge for more active participation in politics and governmental affairs. He undoubtedly will consult Hoover before reaching a decision. Stimson’s various indiscretions as departmental chief may not move him out so much as the tactics he resorted to in his personal attack against Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York in the recent campaign. Roosevelt’s impressive victory by more than 700,000—larger than Al Smith ever received—indicated the people of New York resented and repudiated the administration’s foremost spokesman. Brown won no more honors in the election result than Fess, it is admitted, and he may not climb much higher on the political ladder, But, as postmaster-general in charge of political plums, he is in a peculiarly strategic position to corral Hoover delegates for the 1932 convention. Silent on Dry Issue Contrary to reports, it is predicted Hoover will make no definite move in any direction on prohibition. As before, he will keep aloof from the controversy over this subject, feeling that it crosses too many party line? to permit presidential interference. If anything, the White House will be glad to see the Wickersham commission submit a specific report one way or the other, and thereby toss the burning brand into the house and senate. The administration fall continue its present efforts at enforcement, and it even may ask for more money than has been appropriated in the past. But the broad policy of the new enforcement regime will be, as Colonel Amos A. Woodcock already has made clear, to make the burden of booze-hunting as light as possible. Still unwilling to a6cept Tuesday’s outcome as a rebuke to the President, his political aids think he can stage a comeback if he tries to be the type of executive and engineer the people thought him when they gave him the largest plurality in history. They have suggested that his major mistake was to attempt to solve difficulties as a politician rather than as a broad-gauged and far-visioned chief executive. With the next congress in the control of his enemies, they point out he must again direct his appeal to the people. They believe he has a fifty-fifty chance of success, despite the business depression, the drought, unsettled conditions here and abroad and the reverse at the polls. APPOINTMENT OPPOSED Petition at Wabash Against Arthur Tomson as Postmaster. Bji Times Special WABASH, Ind., Nov. 10.—A petition is being circulated here seeking to prevent appointment of Arthur Tomson as postmaster of Wabash.

LACKOFFUNDS WORRIES CITY Street Improvements May Be Blocked. Lack of funds for street resurfacing work will face the city administration next year, A. H. Moore, ci:.y engineer, said today. Steps to circumvent the barren financial situation are to be taken following a conference of the works board, Moore, and heads of the finance department. In 1930, a 2-cent tax levy raised $144,034 for the work, while next year the levy is Vs cent, which will bring in about $36,000. Following more than ten months’ work, only $23,533 remains in this fund. In addition to the $144,000, the city floated a $171,625 bond issue early in 1930, of which all has been expended but $16,560. Among important projects completed are: Delaware street, from Twenty-eighth to Thirtieth streets and from Ft. Wayne to Massachusetts avenues: New York ‘street from Randolph to Tuxedo streets; Eleventh street, from Capitol avenue to Delaware street: and the Delaware street bridge approaches over Fall Creek. Another improvement which may be started this year is Emerson avenue from Washington street to the Brookville road. DELAYGRANTED in cops; trial One of Police Booze Cases Postponed to Dec. 4.

STATE MARKING TIME ON CLAIM ASKINGSI6O,OOO Six months Pass Without Any Action in Lake County Case. pu Times Special CROWN POINT, Ind., Nov. 10.— Pointed questions as to why a claim 1 filed by the state of Indiana seeking recovery of $160,000 alleged illegally spent by William Linton and James Black, Lake county commissioners, and John Vincent, former commis- ! sioner, is not being pushed, are be- | ing asked in several quarters. Saturday six months will have passed eince a demurrer to the state’s complaint was filed by the' defendant officials, but nothing further has been done in the case, despite an announcement May 15 by Circuit Judge E. Miles Norton that he was prepared to hold a hearing on the demurrer on any Friday morning. Both Sides Silent Since then, it is said the judge has called the case each Friday morning, but neither the counsel for the state nor the defense, has had anything to say. Naturally, observers say, the defense is in no hurry to have the suit pushed and apparently the same attitude is taken by the office of Attorney-General James M. Ogden, which filed the original suit, based on payments of Lake county money to the Tuf-Tread Service Corporation. Politically minded citizens of the county say Ogden, with a view to making the race for Governor of Indiana, has no desire to stir up any more trouble than necessary. The commissioners, like the attorneygeneral,'are Republicans. Case Declared Baseless George Hershman, a Democrat, one of counsel for the commissioners, when asked what moves were being contemplated in the case, said: “I don’t know and I don’t care when the attorney-general calls for a hearing on the demurrer, but whenever the hearing is held, it will be lights out for the s f ate. The judge will throw out the complaint just like that,” and the attorney snapped his fingers. The demurrer raises three points—whether the awarding of a contract without non-collusion affidavits is illegal; whether public officials should reject low bids if the amount is far in excess of the market value or price, and whether the state has a right to recover money due a county. POTION MAY END LIFE Young Woman Takes Overdose of Sleep Inducing Drug.
