CITY HALTS BUSINESS, PAYS ANNUAL HONOR TO DEAD

LIBERTY PLEA IS SOUNDED BY ALBERT STUMP Attorney Principal Speaker of Impressive Rites at Monument. PARADE TO CEMETERY Ingratitude to Veterans of World War Deplored by Michael Foley. THEY were honored today. Whether THEY were of the blue or the gray, the olive-drab or the khaki, in words full of memories for what THEY did, THEY were honored in Indianapolis and its environs. Tombstones covered with moss in' Crown Hill, one sitting deep in grass at Mt. Jackson, received the same homage, whether the inscriptions carried the name of a humble private or an officer of high rank. From the memorial services at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument and the decoration of its segments with flowers to the final notes of “taps" at Crown Hill, the soldier dead received their verbal and heart epaulets. Stump Pleads for Liberty The irony of the uses put to liberty. freedom, patriotism, Americanism, crept out of the address of Albert Stump, Indianapolis attorney, at the monument services. “To what strange purposes these good words have been pressed to service! Dr. SBmuel Johnson termed patriotism as ‘the last refuge of the scoundrel.’ ” “Memorial day should serve to bring the genuine and splendid, meanings of American institutions and traditions before us. It should help to free us from the servitude to mere names. “In the name of Americanism, freedom of speech and press and liberty of conscience should be guarded more zealously, but never threatened.

Farade Through City "Encouragement should be given to the pursuit and study of methods by which equality of opportunity may be approached and such pursuits never should be discouraged under the misapplied name of 'patriotism'.” he concluded. A firing squad of the Veterans of Foreign Wars saluted the dead. A parade, formed north of' the Circle, wended its way through the downtown streets. It was a parade of serious men, boys, women—soldiers all. Spedeways, picnics, golf games were forgotten as they marched. A cavalcade of motor cars transported approximately 100 members of the G. A. R. Graves Are Decorated The parade disbanded. G. A. R. veterans were feted at a luncheon at Ft. Friendly on North Illinois street. In the afternoon they were taken to the Crown Hill services, where to ears deafened by time, large amplifiers brought the praise of speakers for their dead comrades. Children placed flowers on the graves. Attorney General James M. Ogden and M. E. Foley, Indianapolis attorney, told of the day’s meaning. Echo taps sounded from a bugler's horn. The "sin of national ingratitude” in failing to keep veterans of the World war from spending their days in jails, poorhouses, and state institutions was stressed by Foley in his talk. "Let us provide for every soldier of the World war who is in need of financial aid, physical or mental care and attention,” he said. Radicalism is Attacked He attacked radicalism and the Soviet government and urged the citizenry to preserve Christian ideals. The services were over. The ones who paid their reverence left. The graves were alone until another Memorial day. While over the city, with all he stores closed, other residents played. The golf courses were doing a landoffice business, despite spurts of rain. Tennis courts had their quotas and even picnic benches were put in use in municipal parks. Business Is Suspended The mailman had his vacation, with no residential or downtown deliveries. The general delivery window at the postoffice was open until noon. All governmental offices were locked. Trains, interurbans and busses were loaded, coming in and going out of the city, with "week-enders.” Flags decorated residential homes and buildings. Theaters welcomed with artificial coolness and found their welcome accepted. It, was day that, they would have liked to have seen—Memorial dav of 1931. G. A. R.

URGES CHILDREN TO DON GAYER CLOTHES Colored Vacation Togs Factor in Safety, Says Oregon Teacher. By United /Yes* CORVALLIS, Ore., May 30.—Boys and girls will be happier and safer if their summer wardrobes are made from some of the gayer, more cheerful colors. They will be safer because children dressed in pink, yellow, blue and other bright shades are readily seen by motorists than those garbed in brown or similar dull hues, according to Mrs. Sara Prentiss, professor of child development at Oregon state college. The happiness comes because gayer clothes tend to make the wearer feel gay and cheerful, while dull, drab colors are depressing to many children.

PINCHOT STANDS IN SPOTLIGHT OF GOVERNORS Plan to Change Subject of Speech to Utilities Holds Interest. Having already tasted Hoosier hospitality at Highland Golf Club and at Governor and Mrs. Harry G. Leslie's reception, visiting Governors today continued their round of preconvention activities arranged for those who chose to see Indianapolis first. In a caravan of buses the Governors and their parties left early this morning for the Speedway are to witness the great SGO-mile race and have luncheon served in the paddock. Tonight they will hear President Edward V. Rickenbacker of the speedway association at a dinner at the Columbia Club. Roosevelt to Arrive Sunday Trip to French Lick wil be Sunday and the convention program opens Monday and continues through Wednesday. Principal talk of the Governors here was the plan of Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania to change his topic Tuesday from “Timber Needs of the Future” to “The Menace of Public Utilities.” Although Governor Leslie has said so far as he is concerned Pinchot or any other Governor can talk on any subject, the matter rests with the executive committee. Both Pinchot and Governor Norman S. Case, chairman of the executive committee, are scheduled to arrive here Sunday morning. Plans have been made by the Indiana Democratic Club to entertain Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York at a breakfast, when he arrives at 7:50 a. m., Sunday. Democrats to Flock There The New York Governor is to be driven to French Lick by Secretary of State Frank Mayr Jr. Other Democratic presidential possibilities attending the conference are Governor George White of Ohio, who was among the early arrivals, and Governor Albert C. Richie of Maryland, who will attend the race. Democratic leaders are expected to flock to French Lick to talk politics with the various chiefs between tlie program powwows.

POLITICIANS NABBED IN RUM RING DRIVE

Federal Smash at Capone Nets Kansas City Trio Among 2U Arrests. By United Press KANSAS CITY. Mo., May 30. Government officials, directing raids against "Scarface Al” Capone's midwest $5,000,000 liquor ring, today turned their attention to persons high in political and financial circles of Kansas City. Three of the twenty-eight already under arrest are linked closely with politics here. W. L. Vandeventer, United States district attorney, predicted that names even more prominent soon will be connected with the liquor traffic, developed by the Capone as a southwestern market. Miss Rosemary Lyons, chief delinquent tax collector for the city, John Lazia, Democratic political boss and Tom Bramlett, Democratic precinct captain and city hall employe already have been arrested. The ring, said by government authorities to be backed by Capone's money and power, operated ex-

tensively in Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and sections of Texas and Nebraska. Arrests will be made soon in those states, Vandeventer said. He would not say whether action of a federal grand jury at Amari’.la, Tex., indicting two former officials was a part of the drive. The ring, Vandeventer said, sold at least 6,500 gallons of alcohol a week, to take in $33,000. Sale of imported and fancy liquors boosted the gang's proceeds to at least SIOO,OOO a week.

Brown, would seem to be as good as his word. For today it was announced that, following a precedent established on certain roads last season, bids have been advertised for three types of paving—black-top, black-top, and black-top. Three types must be put in the competition under the law. which sets out they are to be concrete, black-top and brick. The commissioners, however, have cooked up the following three types of black-top—bituminous retread, puddled macadam, and bituminous coated aggregate. Puddled macadam is anew specification to pavers. Here are the roads on which they plan to put black-top: State road No. 29 from Madison to Versailles, twenty-three miles in Ripley and Jefferson counties. State road No. 9. from WollcottvUle to ft point 2.7 miles north of WollcottvUle in Laeranee countv.
