HOOSIER MAY BE CANDIDATE FOB PRESIDENT W. S. Roebuck, Ft. Wayne, Probable Choice of Third Party. By United Press MONTENE, Ark., Aug. 26.—Political and economic theories, ranging from the abolition of interest charges to wholesale purchase of enemy navies in time of war, were submitted today to the “third party’’ convention called by W. H. •Coin) Harvey, political idealist who years ago went down to defeat with free silver and William Jennings Bryan. Harvey, past 80 and nearly blind, was the idol of the thousands of delegates who gathered in this Arkansas village from twenty-five states and from far-away Alaska. Populists, Socialists, nonpartisans, radicals and discouraged Republicans and Democrats made up the following of this old Democratic warrior who retired in disgust after Bryan’s defeat. 27 Years in Study Harvey has spent the last twentyseven years studying the evils of the world, figuring out ways to overcome them, and building a huge concrete pyramid in which to store relics of this civilization which will last, he says, long after civilization itself lias perished. Seated beside outspoken radicals at the convention were soberminded business men who have been successful in the competitive fight for personal W’ealth, but who view with fear or bewilderment the condition of the world today. In this group was W. S. Roebuck of Ft. Wayne, Ind., who is regarded as this third party’s most likely candidate for president if Harvey himself refuses to carry the party banner in 1932. Author of 126 Books One of the statisticians present is Charles L. Delbridge of St. Louis, author of 126 mathematical books. Among his works is a pamphlet which sets forth that it costs $37,000 to kill a soldier in a war. Delbridge suggests offering SI,OOO to every enemy soldier or sailor who deserts, and pay him full value for everything he brings with him, not excepting airplanes, battleships or submarines. Under such a system, the government could buy all the enemy battleships at six million dollars each and buy other war engines at proportionate prices and the war would soon be over, Delbridge believes. The convention planned to take up Harvey’s proposed platform planks today. It plans to nominate a president and victe-president on Friday. DENY COAL COMPANY PROPERTY EXPANSION Zoning Board Heeds Pleas of Nearby Home Owners. Property owners in tne vicinity of Arlington avenue and the Pennsylvania railroad successfully opposed expansion of the AcmeMonoh Coal Company yards Tuesday afternoon at a zoning appeals board hearing.

The Hoosier Coal and Oil Company, 1302 East Thirtieth street, granted permission to install another 20,000-gallon gasoline tank at its plant. 369 PUPILS FINISH SHORTRIDGE COURSES Summer Class Credit Work Seen Profitable to Department. A successful summer high school season is reported by William N. Otto, director of the summer high school and head of the English department at Shortridge high school. The number of pupils iri the school this year was 369 and 612 courses were studied, for which 549 school credits were awarded. Total amount of tuition paid was $4,406, which resulted in a profit of $672.30. Otto has suggested to Superintendent Paul C.
