MYERS GARNERS MOST VOTES IN SENATOR POLL Albert Stump Is Second Choice of Indiana Democratic Delegates. RY BEN STERN (Coovrisht. 1032. bv ■'The Tlmcsi A dark horse, a dark horse, my kingdom for a dark horse,” will be the reaction of Democratic masters of political manipulation today when they study the tabulations on senatorial choices in The Times secret poll of 1930 convention delegates. Conditions are just right in this fight for a third man to step in and seize the omination, while Speaker Walter Myers and Albert Stump go to it hammer and tongs in the convention. The. house Speaker got 173 votes to 157 given Stump, the 1926-28 senatorial nominee. And the third man may be one of the, following four: Frederick Van Nuys, former state chairman nnd former United States district attorney; Representative Louis Ludlow of Indianapolis; Frank Dailey. Democratic 1928 nominee for Governor, or Evans Woollen. Watson Choice of G. O. F. As for the Republican senatorial nomination, well, barring an act of the Almighty, the incumbent, James Eli Watson, has it all wrapped up and ready to take home. Watson was given 347 votes, against 17 cast for all possible opponents, and the leader of that group was Governor Harry G. Leslie, with five scattered tokens. Next high Is Frederick Landis, Logansport editor, with four votes; then Arthur Gilliom, former attorneygeneral, with three, and trailing with one each are Oswald Ryan, Fred Purnell, Judge C. W. Mount, James P. Goodrich and Solon Carter. The Republicans aren’t all sold on Jim, either. For three-score ballots were tossed aside because they carried no choice, but had written upon them ‘‘not Watson,” ‘‘anybody but Watson,” “we need a Progressive,” “give us someone to carry the party to victory,” etc. These protests were received from almost every county, with Lake taking the. lead in the onslaught. Only eight out of twenty ballots from these bore Watson’s name. But he is a cinch for the nomina- j tion, so let’s turn to the real bat- j tie, which is among the Democrats. j

Why Myers Leads Lake county wets and the pressure put upon Marion county delegates by Hendricks Kenworthy, campaign manager for Myers, and his aids put the Speaker in the lead. For several days telephone messages and notes were received complaining because of the activity of Kenworthy and his workers in soliciting delegates to vote for Myers. But, after all. the same thing would happen in a convention. The Democratic tabulation is as follows: Myers, 173; Stump, 157; Ludlow, 47; Woollen. 35; Dailey. 32; Paul McNutt, 20; Fred Van Ntiys, 16; John A. M. Adair, 7; Arthur Greenwood, 5; R. Earl Peters, 4; Lew' O'Bannon. 3; John Fredrick. 3; William P. O’Neill, 2; Sam Clelnnd. 2; L. Ert Slack. 2, and Reginald Sullivan. 2. Those obtaining one vote each were: Samuel Pettengill, Joseph Cravens, Walter Chambers, Thomas D. Taggart and John Heller. Analysis of the tabulations warrants the following assumptions: The Myers strength is deceptive. In the first place, he is the only announced candidate; in the second, he won a great many votes in Marion county which will not go to him in a convention because indications are that the party leaders here will demand an equal division of the county ballot among all senatorial candidates residing here, and, third, the pressure will have reactions. Wet Trend Shown Lake county’s vote for the Speaker is significant in that it represents a wet sentiment, which may hold true in the convention. Stump has not visited many party rallies noy has he been active. His percentage would increase if he either announced or at least made a gesture. The quiet work through circularization of eulogistic newspaper articles, letters and the church speeches by Ludlow are indicated in his vote, but even that pales into insignificance beside the evident fact that Van Nuys, who has openly declared that he is not a candidate. is given sixteen votes; McNutt, a contender for the governorship, gets twenty votes: Dailey, who is also a possibility for Governor, has thirtytwo votes; while Woollen, who has kept in the background, gets thirtyfive votes. What is the answer? Well, your guess is as good as mine, but just paste this in your hat: If Van Nuys or Dailey or Woollen announce, any one of the three will get the nomination. Study the tabulations and figure it out for yourself.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PROFESSOR IS ATTACKED FOR ANTI-U, S. TALK Veterans Seek Punishment for Japan-America Comparison. Irked by a Butler university professor's comparison of Japan's occupation of Manchuria with United States expeditions of the past, local officials of the Veterans of Foreign Wars today prepared to present the matter to the federal department of justice. Former service men took the action after they assailed remarks Professor Toyozo W. Nakarai of the college of religion at Butler is said to have made Monday at the Scientech Club meeting. Nakarai is reported to have declared “Japan’s conquest of Manchuria is similar to the invasion by the United States army of Cuba, Mexico and the Philippines.” Appeal to Army In addition, former soldiers and members of service organizations, have asked Colonel A. J. Dougherty of the Eighty-fourth division, to probe the matter. Colonel Dougherty said if any action was taken, it would be handled by the military intelligence department. Meeting with V. F. W. leaders Tuesday night, William W. Walker, adjutant and quartermaster of the organization, said they investigated the professor’s remarks and reached the decision to carry the situation before Washington authorities. Harry Dynes, federal labor conciliator, was notified of the V. F. W. action, Walker said. “We will send an immediate report to the national legislative committee of our organization at Washington, and it will be carried before the department of justice,” Walker said. ‘‘Professor Erred” “Our report will state we believe Japan’s move only is to confiscate territory, and drive a wedge between China and Russia. No United States campaign ever was made for a similar purpose. In fact, our expeditions have proved most valuable to the other countries. “The professor’s statements are erroneous. The United States never has had any idea of gain. The remarks are unwarranted, every one knows differently, and we believe the matter should be settled.” Colonel Russell B. Harrison, prominent in Spanish American War Veterans organizations, termed Nakarai’s remarks “outrageous,” declaring he was “amazed at the unfair and false statements.” Calls Speech “Insult” “The war with Spain was a humanitarian and necessary war, conducted by an army of volunteers with the acquiescence of the leading powers of the world and resulted in freeing the inhabitants of Cuba and the Philippines from the oppression and abuses of Spain,” Harrison said. “The war made an independent nation of Cuba, with independent Philippine islands soon to follow. “The matter of such untrue Japanese propaganda spread by Professor Nakarai is a gross insult to our country and the volunteer veterans of the SpanishAmerican war. It is most harmful to Butler university, and is an abuse of the privilege granted him of remaining in our country.” Other service organizations also are considering action relative to Nakarai’s statements, but officials of the groups said they would not discuss the situation until some line | of procedure had been mapped.

GROCER LOSES SUIT Woman Awarded $250 for Malicious Prosecution. A jury in superior court today awarded Mrs. Raymond Cassel, 2127 North Oxford street, $250 damages against a grocer for malicious prosecution on a charge of trading under a false name. The grocer is James A. Livingston, 2170 Wheeler street, who caused the woman’s arrest last August following her alleged failure to pay a grocery bill. Deputy prosecutors noli prossed the false pretense charge against Mrs. Cassel Sept. 7, before Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron. A near fist-fight between City Councilman Clarence I. Wheatley and Lawrence Shaw, Mrs. Cassel's attorney, resulted from an order by Cameron last week for re-arrest of the woman for the same alleged offense. Shaw is said to have accused Wheatley of meddling in the superior and municipal court cases of Mrs. Cassel.

Barnstorming Days With Eddie Stinson Recalled by Hoosier Airport President

.jiff"* ff \

Aviation, in its pioneer days, was a lot different from today, with speedy, comfortable air lines. These views of the types of planes in use during and before the World war. and then considered the last word in aviation, were taken from the scrapbook of Bob Shank, Hoosier airport president. Eddie Stinson is shown standing beside one of the planes (upper left) he and Shank used for carrying passengers in the old days. Some of today’s famous fliers were trained at the old Stinson flying school (upper right) at San Antonio, Tex. Shank (lower left) and Stinson (lower right) jointly operated a flying school in Houston, Tex., in 1916 and 1917. These pictures were snapped in 1920. Among the famous pioneer women fliers was Marjorie Stinson, Eddie’s sister, shown seated in one of the early pusher type planes in which the pilot and passenger sat in exposed seats in front of the plane.

111-Fated Flier Put Rickety 'Crates’ Through Tricks, Bob Shank Relates. Death of Eddie Stinson, dean of American aviators, in an airplane accident at Chicago, meant the lass of a close friend to Bob Shank, Hoosier airport president. Stinson was the man who taught him to fly. Shank and Stinson spent several years in close association in the pioneer days of aviation. “Stinson was one of the best fliers I ever knew,” said Shank today. “He used to startle folks with his ‘daredevil’ stunts, but he always knew what he was doing. He was a real exponent of safe flying. “He always insisted, even back in the old days, that an airplane was the safest means of transportation. It was pretty hard to prove then. Never Carried Chute “Often saying that no commercial flier with common sense needed a parachute, Stinson never carried one.” Stinson died early Tuesday after his plane struck a 150-foot flagpole in a Chicago park, where he was making a forced landing at dusk. He had flown 1,750,000 miles without serious mishap, 16,000 miles more than any other man. Shank planned to leave for Detroit late today to attend funeral rites for the famous airman Thursday. “I met Eddie Stinson In Chicago at the old Commeicial field, back in the spring of 1916,”’ Shank recalled. “Stinson learned to fly in 1914 at the old Wright flying school at Dayton, operated by Orville and Wilbur Wright. Founded Chicago School “In 1915 Eddie went to the famous old Stinson flying school at San Antonio, Tex., operated by his mother, his sisters, Katherine and Marjorie Stinson, and his brother, Jack. “There he instructed a number of Canadian army students. The next spring, 1916, he went to Chicago and started a school of his own. “I had borrowed enough money to buy a plane from someone else, but didn't have enough money to pay an instructor, so I tried to learn to fly by myself,” Shank continued. “I made two tries successfully, getting the old pusher type crate about five feet off the ground each time. The third time wind turned the plane and I headed for some trees. I had to climb, and then I was in trouble. “Pioneer Barnstormers” “I managed to circle back, but I knew noth .g about landing, and came in in a stall, barely avoiding a crash. Stinson, who was among a group of startled spectators, came running over, his face white, and bawled me out. That is the way I met him. ‘‘Then he offered to teach me to fly. I accepted, working out my tuition by helping to build planes.” After staying in Chicago for a short time <until Shank had made four or five solo flights), Shank and Stinson began making dare-devil exhibition flights in rickety planes. They received from S4OO to SI,OOO for an afternoon’s work, Shank said. At the close of the exhibition season. Stinson took Shank with him to Texas, returning to the family school. A little later, the two bought some planes and opened their own flying school at Houston, Tex., known as the NationalVSchool of Plying. They operated the school until

the government halted commercial flying to conserve gasoline, because of the war. Both were engaged by the army as flying instructors at Kelley field. In 1918, Stinson got a commission as lieutenant, but Shank left to become one of the four first commercial air mail pilots. He is the only survivor of the original quartet. After the armistice, Shank and Stinson together barnstormed through the south, flying old army ships. This ended their flying association, but they kept in close touch by mail and by frequent visits of Stinson to Indianapolis. Shank returned in 1920 to his home in Huntington. W. Va., where he opened an airport, before coming to Indianapolis, and Stinson went to Detroit where later he started the now famous Stinson airplane plant. Body in Detroit By United Pres* DETROIT, Jan. 27.—The body of Edward A. Stinson, world-famous aviator, injured fatally In an airplane crash at Chicago, arrived here today. Funeral arrangements have not been made pending arrival of relatives. Mrs. M. A. Otero Jr., Santa Pe, N. M., Stinson’s sister, who learned to fly before he did, is expected, as are Marguerite Stinson, Washington, and Jack Stinson, Flushing, N. Y., sister and brother.
