PRESS SCOLDS HOOVER FOR MORATORIUM POLL repetition of Procedure Is Made Difficult by Wide Criticism. Hy Siri jiiix-llowm and Ninon paper Alliance WASHINGTON. Dec. 28.—Successful polling of congress by the administration to pledge votes will be difficult in the future, it generally was believed today, as senators and representatives studied the reaction of the country to ratification of the Hoover moratorium. Practically every attack made on the moratorium began with criticism of President Hoover’s poll, which finally assured ratification. In the house the Hoover procedure was called an “effort to legislate by parcel post,” in the senate it was condemned as a “direct violation of the Constitution.” In both houses it was criticised as a side-stepping of the “orderly processes” by endeavoring to get laws “passed by Western Union.” It was evident that if President Hoover last summer had not received the pledges of a majority of senators and representatives, his measure probably would have been defeated, at least in the senate. MINE OPENS QUIETLY IN FACE OF THREATS Seventy-five Men Trek in Pit Undeit Terms Union Offers. fly United Press CLINTON, Ind., Dec. 28.—Threats of violence failed lo materialize today when the Vermillion coal mine was reopened in direct opposition to mine unions and with a slash in wages. Seventy-five miners returned to work and it was expected the number soon will be increased to 175. The new wage scale provides for payment of 60 cents a ton and $3.60 a day as compared with 90 cents a ton and $6.10 a day paid before the mine was closed. The miners who began work today are organized as the Union Miners’ Association and are said to be opposing the United Mine Workers of America. Plans to reopen the mine caused considerable discussion when first announced and threats of violence were reported. It is understood, however, that operators of the mine, representatives of the United Mine Workers and of the new organization conferred Sunday and agreed that the mine w'ould be opened without conflict. •PENNY FOOD’ OFFERED Bernarr Macfadden Sponsors Novel Restaurant in New York.

BOMBAY SWEPT BY VIOLENCE AS GANDHIRETURNS Half Million Admirers Jam Docks to Give Mahatma Riotous Welcome. BY FRANCIS LOW United Press Staff Correspondent BOMBAY, India, Dec. 28.—Mahatma Gandhi “came home” today to an India aroused by -serious rioting and fighting, with “a declaration of war” against Britain and a boycott on British goods. Eleven were killed in rioting in Peshawar, where troops and police given special powers by the viceroy have rounded up for deportation leaders of the “red shirt” movement. Bombay had taken on the aspect of the city during the civil disobedience campaign. There were reports of increasing violence, terrorism and a demand for hostilities against Britain as the smiling Gandhi came ashore from the liner Pilsna, greeted by cheering thousands. The welcome given the hero of India’s masses was even greater than the homage paid him when he departed for the London round table conference. Police and officers of the steamship line had difficulty in controlling the half million who jammed the docks and spread over a three-mile route to the mahatma’s residence. Mrs. Gandhi and members of the executive committee of the congress went aboard as soon as the Pilsna docked. Gandhi was all smiles when he walked down the gangplank. Minor clashes among the crowd had been smoothed out before his arrival. Trouble arose between members of the untouchable classes and Gandhi’s honor. Several thousand followers of Dr. Brimrao Ramji Ambedkar, champion of the untouchables and founder of the Depressed Classes Institute, marched through the streets armed with sticks and knives. They attacked stray members of the congress volunteers. A captain of the volunteers and one untouchable were hurt seriously in fighting. About twenty-five persons were injured before police disarmed the untouchables and prevented uglier developments. DEPUTY IS ARRESTED Charles Sandage Suspended; Drunken Driving Is Charged. Deputy Sheriff Charles Sandage, 40, today was under suspension from duty following his arrest Saturday night on charges of drunkenness and operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. He was arrested by police who were called to investigate an altercation between Sandage and two motorists at Sixteenth and Alabama streets.

THREE ORPHANS BY MURDER, SUICIDE

Quarrel Has Tragic Climax as Man Shoots Wife, Then Himself. Tragedy today marred the holiday happiness of three small children whose father shot and fatally wounded his wife, then ended his own life by shooting himself in the head. The tragedy occurred Saturday night in a dimly-lit residence at 60 South Summit street, the aftermath of a quarrel between Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Hill, the parents. Hill and his wife separated three months ago after thirteen years of married life. He returned to his home Saturday night and began quarreling with Mrs. Hill and two children, Ruby, 11, and John, 8. Mrs. Hill was holding a son, Bernadine, 5, in her lap. Hill walked to the front porch of the house, and after peering into the street, returned and fired point blank at Mrs. Hill. The bullet narrowly missed the child, but struck Mrs. Hill. She died Sunday at city hospital. Hill then ran from the house, turned the weapon, a small revolver, on himself and fired twice. He died almost at once of bullet wounds in the head. Mrs. Hill’s father, John Furnish of Carlton, Ky., and her brother, Charles Furnish of Warsaw were enroute to Indianapolis today to arrange for the funerals. Hill is survived by a brother, Dewey, of Beech Grove. The three children, two of whom are pupils at school No. 14, were being cared for today by Mrs. Sarah Dewier, an aunt of Mrs. Hill. Prisoner Kills Self MONTICELLO, Ind., Dec. 28. Wayne Stilfell, 21, hanged himself in the White county jail here after being arrested on a charge of drunkenness.

GOLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA Persistent coughs and colds lead to •erious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth.
