VOICES THREAT OF DICTATOR TO REICHSTAO Bruening Warns German Parliament to ‘Be Good’ or Be Dissolved. By United Preaa BERLIN. Dec 5. President Paul von Hindenburg todfty accepted the resignation of Minister of Justice Johann Bredit and designated the secretary of state of the ministry of Justice, Herr Joel, to replace him provisionally. By United Preta BERLIN, Dec. 5 —The reichstag received today from Chancellor Heinrich Bruening a strong warning. interpreted to threaten dissolution and the possible assumption of dictatorial powers. Bruening, buffeted by C6mmunist hecklers, warned the reichstag to curb its criticism and to reject the opposition motion for repeal of President Paul Von Hindenburg’s financial decrees. “You can not know what would follow if the decrees are rescinded,” he said. - Authority from President The chancellor began liis recital from the government bench, and amid unusual silence. He announced salaries of leading officials of the Reichsbank and the state railways had heen cut 20 per cent,, equal to the reduction in cabinet salaries, and that many private concerns had made corresponding flashes in the salaries of their directors. Bruening had received authority from President Von Hindenburg to dissolve the reichstag in an emergency, the United Press learned from authoritative sources. He vlas granted far-reaching powers with which to face voting on decisive measures in the reichstag Saturday. v l argely a. Gesture The chancellor is not expected io dissolve parliament, however, unless the reichstag rejects the government's financial reform decrees, also sanctioned by the president. Von Hindenburg’s equipment of Bruening with power to dissolve the reichstag is considered largely a gesture, since the opposition motions for rescinding the semi-dic-tatorial financial decrees are believed likely to be defeated by from 20 to 35 votes. The president's move, however, Represented a combined Von Hindenburg • Bruening demonstration against wavering deputies, who probably will be swung closer into line with the government.

Timid Two-Clubs Bid in Parks Signal for Cops

Bl ( HARM S E. CARLI,

SPEED-MAD tricyclers who are fanning past buggies at better than a four-mile-an-hour clip are pedalifig their nefarious ways unapprehended. And women who are risking timid two-club bridge bids in city park community houses in flagrant disregard for the law Old settlers have been seen carrying watermelons to (family reunion picnics right under the nose of the law. Things have come to a pretty pass. The city park board theratens to act. For it frankly regards old laws on the city’s books, governing peace and quiet in the city's parks, as antiquated. Nowhere in the laws, which were revised in 1923 are automobiles mentioned except under the general heading of vehicles. Nowhere is there a law to stop love making, although many of the younger generation know where there are many quiet park spots where hearts and love are for the asking. However, the situation has a serious side. Women who have been playing cards in municipal community houses are quite shocked to know this is against the law. There are some provisions that are pretty tough for the three park cops to enforce. But perhaps the custodians, who have police power and who roam afoot, might enforce them, especially those on vehicles running at four miles an hour. Here’s the one that stirred the fuss. It also is going to be hard on the unemployed:

“No person shall be allowed to sleep on the benches or grass of any public park, nor to beg, to tell fortunes, to play at any games of chance, or with any instrument of gaming therein, and gambling in any form and playing cards is prohibited in the public parks.” a tt a AND if you're turning comers passing other cars at thirty milss an hour, wicked motorist, bear in mind you’re just a redheaded stepchild as far as park laws go. “All vehicles other than pleasure carriages, as distinguished from wagons, carts . and drays are prohibited within any boulevard, except when employed, in the business of said boulevard, and no horse or vehicle shall be permitted to stand upon the drive or part of any boulevard to the obstruction of the way. “Bicyclers and tricyclers shall be confined strictly to the roadways of the public parks, and be controlled by the same rules which govern horse vehicles and equestrians, and must keep and pass to the right when meeting the same. a tt u AND for the social climber: “No person shall intrude himself or herself on a picnic without consent of those in charge of it, nor disturb any picnic within said parks.” The law prohibits any still to operate or home brew to ferment on park property; prohibits “introduction of spirituous malt or fermented liquors” and also says that they “shall not be given away.” “Hammocks, except for the use of

babies, shall not be permitted within the parks; dogs shall not be permitted in parks; intoxicated persons are not to appear in the parks, and “all persons are forbidden to carry watermelons into any park.” Among the other prohibitions is one which stops any one from taking a bath in any pool or fountain in a public park.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

INK IN GASOLINE GYPS BUYERS, PARLEY TOLD Law Urged to Prevent Extra Charge After Coloring Is Added. Charges that Indiana motorists annually “are gypped out of thousands of dollars by unscrupulous gas station operators who empty a bottle of colored ink into a tank of gasoline and then charge 3 cents per gallon extra because of alleged anti-carbon properties,” was made at the convention of the Indiana Petroleum Association at the Severin today. The charge came from Max Wickersham, executive secretary of the association, who sounded a second complaint with the statement: “For some reason never explained and not prohibited by the statutes, fees for oil inspection are paid by bulk oil and gas companies by check made out directly to the inspector and not to the state of Indiana. To curb such alleged practices, Wickersham and a special committee will frame bi r to be presented to the 1931 legislature. One measure will provide for a portable laboratory which will travel about the state and take samples of the various types of gasoline sold. If a gas station is found to be selling bogus anti-carbon gas the state, according to the proposed statute, must padlock the station and assess a heavy fine. Another measure designed to stop bootlegging of gasoline will give the inspectors authority to bring action against any such violators. “Inspection at present is merely a

The inspector deposits the check to his own credit in his own bank and later on when he has collected a certain amount turns it over to the state. “What is to keep him from reporting less cars inspected than actually were?” Wickersham asked. The association also will seek reduction of inspection fees from the present 4 cents per barrel to 114 cents. • Herbert Davis of Sullivan was expected to be re-elected as president of the association at the closing session*this afternoon.

MACDONALD IS FAILURE, SAYS LLOYDGEORGE Liberal Leader Leaves Sick Bed to Make Attack on Labor Cabinet. By United Prets LONDON, Dec. s.—David Lloyd George, liberal leader whose support often has saved the labor government from defeat in- the house of commons, declared today the Ramsay MacDonald government was an acknowledged failure. His statement, made at a meeting of the Radical and Liberal Candidates Association at the Liberal Club, furnished London and the nation with a first-class political sensation. Lloyd George said the labor government had shown no conception

of their task, and had thrown away eighteen months of opportunity. . He did not indicate any intention of seeking to reject the government by using the liberal balance or power in the house of commons, as such a move apparently would only reinstate the former conservative regime of Stanley Baldwin. His declaration of the failure of the laborites was cheered. Warming to his subject, the fiery Welshman added: “There are not two independent men in the house of commons, belonging to any party, who say that the government has successfully tackled its job. “They have disappointed their I supporters. I can not say that they i have disappointed us, because we never expected much. It is not that | they have gone too far; it is that j they are not going at all. ; “They are not an heroic ministry.” Lloyd George left a sick bed to deliver his attack upon the labor- ; ites. He explained he had been fighting a bad cold “in unpropitious circum- | stances,” referring to the present foggy weather. The common fox is credited with a speed of twenty-six miles an hour.
