MOTHERS ARE PAID HONOR AT EAGLES’ RITES Frank E. Hering, ‘Father’ of Day, Shares in Tribute by Thousands. Picas for preservation of the home and laudation of mothers, “the greatest leaders of all times,” were sounded Sunday a.s thousands gathered at English’s theater, under auspices of the PYaternal Order of Eagles, paying tribute to Frank E. Hering, former president of the order, “the father of Mother’s day.” A bronze tablet, commemorating the first public appeal for observance of Mother's day, made at the theater Feb. 7, 1904, by Hering was unveiled following a parade Sunday afternoon, and was presented to the city to remain on the site of the theater. The tablet, unveiled by Mayor John B. Hudson of Lafayette, was accepted in behalf of Indianapolis by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and for the nation by Louis Ludlow, representative in congress. Ilering Praises Others Disclaiming credit for the organization of Mother’s day, Hering, in an address, following the unveiling, declared that praise was due the thousands who stood shoulder to shoulder behind me” in the move to set aside a day for honoring mothers. “I had the privilege to set forth the ideas of these men,” he said. “Those men behind me stood for things that we believed. The home Is the basis of civilization and mothers are the greatest teachers and leaders of any nation.” Hering said the move of the Eagles’ organization to establish old age pension laws In every state, was a tribute to mothers, In that it assured each of them that their sons and daughters would not face old age with the fear of “going over the hill to the poorhouse.”

Deplores Job Crisis Deploring the present unemployment crisis, Hering said the Eagles will go before congress to seek appointment of a full-time employment stabilization commission, “to study industries and make annual reports to congress, so millions will not be thrown out of work as a result of over-production.’’ “We believe it is not necessary that such situations occur every fifteen years,’’ he said. “We believe that a commission, the members of which would be so well paid that they would have no private enterprises, established thoroughly to study economic conditions, would fcv°rt such occurences.” Hering was introduced by Otto P. Deluse, past national president, who also introduced members of the American War Mothers, who were honored guests. The ceremonies were sponsored by Indianapolis Aerie 211 of the Eagles. Called Sacred Hour “We pay tribute to the prophet whose inspired vision turned an idea into an ideal and an ideal into a great force of social progress,” Boyd Gurley, editor of The Times, declared in paying tribute to Hering. “This is a sacred hour. This is a happy hour. This is an important hour. We have honored the man. We ever will honor him. “But our greatest tribute must come from the demotion to the causes for which he stands. Have the men whose humanity, whose depth of sentiment, whose reverence for sacred things gave birth to Mother’s day, the courage to carry through? “Will we, in this hour of tribute, have the wisdom to make this land as happy as the hopes of her heart and as safe as the babe at her breast?” Others Are Speakers Louis Ludlow, the Rev. John Cavanaugh, C. S. C., president of the University of Notre Dame, and Robert E. Proctor of Elkhart, national president of the Eagles, also spoke. Representatives of Eagles aeries from other cities in Indiana, Ohio. Kentucky and Illinois took part in the parade and the ceremonies. Text of the table to Hering: “On this site Sunday, Feb. 7, 1904, the first known public plea for a nation-wide observance of Mother’s day was made by Frank E. Hering, teacher, orator, humanitarian. In commemoration of Mother’s day and in honor of its beloved founder, the Fraternal Order of Eagles erects this tablet May 10, 1931."

By United Press WACO, Tex., May 11.—Hope today was renewed in the heart of Dr. Samuel Palmer Brooks that he would be able to finish his last self-imposed task for his students at Baylor university before he dies within a few days. • Dr. Brooks rallied slightly from a critical lapse and physicians said it is possible he might complete the signing of diplomas for the spring graduating class. Vigor and determination which marked his thirty-year presidency of the Baptist institution brought Dr. Brooks out of a coma Sunday, which attendants believed was the end. His death had been expected momentarily. When physicians told the president his recovery from internal cancer was impossible, he avowed a determination to leave his students a last memento —his bold, angular signature on the 1931 diplomas When he had signed 300 of the 486, his strength failed, and it ap"peared he would leave this one task unfinished. Today Dr. J. T. Harrington said it was possible he might complete it.

FALL'S FORTUNE BLED IN FIGHT' FOR ACQUITTAL 1 Haven’t Any Money,’ Claim of Once Wealthy Man in Clemency Fight. This is the last of three articles which rive a rlimpse of A. B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, as he Is today. BY ED WERKMAN United Press Staff Correspondent THREE RIVERS, N. M., May 11. —There was a note of hopeless finality in the voice of Albert B. Fall, former secretary of Interior, today as he declared: “I can not possibly pay the fine.” Once considered wealthy, Fall has spent virtually all he had in fighting the charge that he accepted a bribe in the oil lease case. Even part of his insurance money has gone to pay attorney fees, his family said. The ranch he lives on is no longer his. “I can't be bled any more. I haven’t the money,” Fall said. He did not know whether he would take a pauper’s oath or what action he would be forced to if the court insisted he had to pay the SIOO,OOO fine. Oil Broke Health

He also has been sentenced to a year in the penitentiary, but his friends' are seeking clemency for him on account of his age and illness. “The doctors say I can not make another trip to Washington,” was Fall’s reply to a question as to what would happen if the friends failed. Near his bed are stands containing medicine bottles, glasses, and spoons. He is given a heart stimulant twice a day. “But I have done things before that my doctors said I was not able to do,” he added, in regard to his physician’s orders. He recalled how he was brought into the courtroom at one of his trials in a wheel chair, and insisted on continuing with the trial. * “The climate in Washington always was hard on me,” Fall said. “I attended the first cabinet meetings in 1920 bandaged from my waist to my throat. My right lung has been bad for years.” Fall had planned to retire from the cabinet when he was 61 years of age, practice law for perhaps four years and gain enough money to retire at the age of 65. The oil investigations and trials broke both his health and reputation and additional years as an attorney were then out of the question. Doheny Owns Ranch Home The 600,000-acre ranch where Fall lives quietly in the hope of prolonging his life, now is owned by E. L. Doheny, oil man charged jointly with the former secretary in the oil cases. Doheny and Fall became friends years ago when they prospected in New Mexico. Fall later turned to cattle and politics, while. Doheny found oil and millions. More than a year ago, Downey became the owner of the Fall ranch at a foreclosure sale. The same SIOO,OOO that Doheny and Fall claimed was a loan while prosecutors charged it was a bribe for Fall, was the basis of Doheny’s foreclosure of Doheny’s mortgage on the ranch. Open Hospital Bids Soon June 9 has been set as the date for the opening of bids for the construction of the nurses’ home at the United States Veteran hospital here, according to dispatches from Washington. *
