BUTLER DARED DEATH AS SPY AT VERA CRUZ General Won Another Valor Medal for Attack on Fort in Haiti. Followlajr 1* th* third article of a '’He* about General Smedlev Butler. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER, United Frew Staff Correspondent ‘Copyright. 1931. bv United Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—Return'll g from China with the first halo •J heroism on his young brow, Captain Smedley Butler entered upon a decade as quiet as a marine -an hope for. He served in Panama (luring construction of the canal, ! hen went to Nicaragua, which was having revolutions. Hand fighting, close escapes and guerrilla episodes, enough to fill a library of thrillers, were the dally diet. Once Butler, by now a major, broke a siege by walking up to the commanding Nicaraguan general, seizing his mustachio with one hand, pushing a revolver out with the other, and forcing, at the point of entirely un-Quakerlike language, >urrender of the whole force. Tropic service wore down his health and he came home, took a ,‘9ng furlough and started out to manage, of all things, a coal mine •hi West Virginia. Failed as Mine Operator The manager Butler went to replace stood ground with a gun, and that was one more fight Butler won. But as a coal operator he was a good marine. One good month showed profits of $2.25. After a year, Butler took out his uniform. Huerta was loose in Mexico. Major Butler went down with the fleet, which concentrated off Vera Cruz. Preparatory to landing forces it was necessary to ascertain Mexican strength: Butler, disguised as a detective hunting an American fugitive, went ashore. He found there were only 4,000 Mexican troops instead of 40,000 as rumored. Then he changed his disguise to that of a geology professor hunting specimens and made a trip to Mexico City to study -he rail line to the capital.

Landed at Vera Cruz American forces landed at Vera Cruz, April 22, 1914, with Major Butler one of the first ashoi*e. The city was taken. Butler received a medal of honor "for distinguished conduct in battle,” being "eminent and conspicuous in command of his battalion’' and exhibiting “courage 3,nd skill in leading his men through the action.” The next year he was sent to Haiti and won his second congressional medal at the storming of Ft. Riviere, an old French stronghold with thick masonry v ails. It was necessary to enter through a small strongly defended breach in the wall. Butler took twenty-three men with him to make a direct assault in§ide the walls with the knowiedge that no quarter would be given. Two men leaped ahead to screen him. “Theirs was devotion to him while his action was devotion to duty,” the navy department said in its citation. Served in World W’rr From then on, the job was one of pacification. Butler organized the native constabulary and icidentally, disclosed skill as an administrator which had been obscured by the glamor of his fighting exploits. - This discovery by his superiors later was to cause Butler to grieve inwardly because it kept him out of the front line in France. He was sent to Brest as base commander and for months was bogged in the deep mud there. With the armistice he organized the embarkation base at Camp Pontanean. It was largely a. job of keeping the troops from being mired in the heavy mud. Miles, it seemed, of ‘duckboards” were laid down to .walk on. Butler got out of his car jand carried the first boards himself nd laid them—getting the name /Creneral Duckboard.” . Next—General Butler finds horrors oi' peace in Philadelphia worse Shan those of war in the marines. CANADIANS LIKEUTs. * CHAIN BROADCASTING Threatened Loss of Radio Programs Arouses Storm of Protest. Ifi'y United Press TORONTO. Ont., Feb. 3.—Cana;san radio fans, at least those in the vicinity of Toronto, do not want ;to be deprived of the chance to hear .American chain programs, it appears from a survey of their "letters to the editor.” „ Faced with the prospect of gov-l<irnment-owned radio stations and :?overnment-supervised programs which probably would exclude American radio programs from Canada stations’ broadcasts, hundreds of Citizens have written to Toronto papers protesting the proposed plan.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PELICAN FILLED SKY IS SEEN IN TROPICSFLIGHT Diploma From King Neptune Given for Air Trip Over Equator. This is one of a series of articles written by John D. Montgomery, newspaperi man. during an air trip over Central and South America. BY JOHN MONTGOMERY Although I was apprehensive of I the Buenaventura flight I spent my ! last evening out in Colon, knowing that a million persons, at ! least, would give anything to have ; a chance to fly over the route. I met a young German who was in charge of the local Scadta Flying Company office. Scadta Flying Company is a private mail-carrying company and has its own mail boxes and postage stamps. My German friend took me to the Strangers’ Club and told me of his various adventures. I was awakened at 4:30 and Eton was at the flying field. Exactly at 6 our plane rose from France fieldl into the air and shot across the isthmus at 100 miles an hour. Fly Just Above Waves A few miles down the coast from Balboa, we passed over the Leper j colony, where 102 victims are receiving chalmoogra oil treatment from the United States government.

We ran into a squall and the pilot dropped the plane to only a few feet above the crest of the waves. We flew there for four hours. It certainly gives you an idea how fast you are. Then we flew over dense jungle toward a wide meandering river to Buenaventura. We landed and refueled while our transports were examined. From there we skirted southward over a sandy jungle coast toward Tumaco. We passed over native thatched huts, built on high stilts as a protection against wild animals. Hundreds of Crocodiles Presently we were over a sandy ebach on which hundreds of enormous crocodiles sunned themselves. Some were twelve to fifteen feet in length. We landed at Tumaco, a village where it seemed as if every building that was not of thatch, was built of pieces of galvanized iron. Our pier was a floating barge. A committee of native doctors was waiting to receive a package of whooping cough serum urgently needed here. We hit across water until we finally sighted the red-colored bluffs of the Andes. After a short while, our plane dipped and bumped. Pilot Dunn yelled that “that was the equator we just hit” and handed me an engraved “diploma from King Neptune.” We were then flying twenty miles off the coast of Ecuador at 120 miles an hour. Sky Filled With Pelicans Suddenly the tropical jungle stopped. The barren desert appeared. At 5:15 we headed straight to- j ward a point that resembled Gibral- j tar. It was St. Elena, Ecuador. Thousands of pelicans filled the 1 sky. Our wheels were unfolded I and we became a land plane. We rolled up from the Pacific to j the wide sandy beach where nearly j everyone in St. Elena—all twenty- i five inhabitants—were out to greet! us.

Cuticura Healed Breaking Out in Form of Rash on Baby’s Face. “The trouble began with a breaking out on my baby's face. It was in the form of a rash and spread viore and more and the spots got closer together. The baby was restless and fretful and lost some sleep at night. It lasted about six weeks. "I read an advertisement for Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent for a free sample. I bought more. I washed baby’s face with the Cuticura Soap and then applied the Ointment, and after using one cake of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment she was healed.” (Signed) Mrs. N. C.

BRUTAL POLICE TACTICS COME UNDERSURVEY Illegal Law Enforcement Methods of Nation Being Probed. By Scripps-Hotcard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—Police brutality and other atrocities cloaked under the mantle of “law and order” are, for the first time in American history, being probed in a nation-wide survey under auspices of the Wickersham commission on law observance and enforcement. A report is to be filed in June covering all the aspects of . this subject. It is the work of a special group of the commission called “section on the lawless enforcement of the law,” of which Judge William S. Kenyon of lowa is chairman, and Professor Zachariah Chafee Jr. of Harvard law school and Carl I. Stem, New York attorney, are members. Headquarters are in New York, from which city investigators have been sent to all the principal cities to study the question. It is understood that one of the matters investigated by this section’s probers is the Mooney-Bill-ings case in California. The alleged illegal “identifications” and framing of perjured testimony in this case is to be treated along with other cases less notorious, it is said. The report probably will probe deeply into the use of the third degree and other coercive methods of obtaining confessions. It will

How Electric Rates Have Been Reduced in Indiana Subsidiaries of the Midland United Company have carried on a continual program of voluntary rate reduction in Indiana during the last six years. Rate revisions made during the period from 1923 to 1929 benefited residential and commercial light and power customers of subsidiaries to the extent of $3,150,000 in the year 1929 alone. In other words, had the average rate charged for electrical energy by these companies for the year 1923 been applied to energy sold to residential and commercial light and power customers during the year 1929, they would have paid $5,150,000 more for the service received than they actually did pay. This saving represents a 21 per cent reduction in the cost to the public of these services during the six year interval. Similar rate reductions also have been made by subsidiaries of the Midland United Company in the rates for gas service. By reTLsions in their rate schedules, these companies have made it possible for customers to enjoy the added convenience and comfort of many electrical appliances for home use at a small additional cost, or at no greater cost for electricity than was paid a number of years ago when electricity was used only for lighting. It is the policy of subsidiaries of the Midland United Company to reduce rates as rapidly as the requirements of good service will permit. The above figures bear out this statement. When reductions in rates do not come as rapidly as incomplete knowledge of the facts indicates they might, it should be remembered that the cost of producing electricity at the generating station, a figure frequently cited, is but a small part of the total cost. Electric service is similar in some respects to water service. Accumulation of water in the reservoir costs little. Providing and maintaining the mains and carrying it into the home, however, costs considerably more. Many necessary expenses are likewise incurred between the generation of electrical energy at the power plant and its use by the customer. In connection with their policy of improving service and reducing rates, subsidiaries of the Midland United Company are working diligently to reduce the co6t of each of these factors. Public utility companies are the only enterprises in the world that manufacture and deliver to the customers’ premises the finished product ready for use in an instant upon demand any time of the day or night, 365 days in the year. Compare the cost of the service with its usefulness and convenience, and its value as contrasted with the relative value of anything else you ran buv becomes apparent. T This is the fifth of a series of advertisements discussing | j the economics of the public utility business and reviewing i j how the public is benefited by holding company control.

“I suffered with a nervous breakdown during my last expectant period and was advised to take Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
