COAST SENATOR IS EXPECTED TO OUITJRY FOLD .Shortridge Changes Views, Thinks People Should Decide Rum Issue. fly Scripps-Hoieart t Xetespaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, April 1. —Senator Sam Shortridge, Hoover stalwart from California and until now a fairly reliable dry, probably will he missing from the Anti-Saloon corral at the end of the great wetdry roundup of senators this spring. The last time the senator expressed himself was after a speech in California, when a woman asked

him whether he was a wet or a dry. “M ad am,” he replied, “nobody knows how dry I am.” Today he in and i cated that he has been doing some thinking since then. “Os course, I don’t know what shape the vote in the senate will ta k e,” he said. “Under the eighteenth

amendment congress may determine what beverage is or is not intoxicating. We would not be violating our oaths of office if we permitted a nonintoxicating beverage. “The evidence appears to be overwhelming that 2.75 per cent beer is not intoxicating. As to 4 per cent beer, that also would depend on the evidence. Feoplc Should Speak Shortridge was asked how he would vote on resubmission of the eighteenth amendment. “The wise men who framed the Constitution decreed that it might be amended at any time," he replied. “The Constitution would not have been ratified had it not been agreed that the first ten amendments would be added at once. Now we have added nine more. “If you believe in government of, by and for the people, I don’t see why yoii should oppose submission of this question to the several states. Times change, conditions change. I should think the people would welcome opportunity to discuss this question. “There are many things to discuss —the cost of enforcement, the question of revenue, possible good as against possible evils. They should be discussed without passion or anger.” Faces Ballot Fight % Shortridge, up for re-election, will have a fight for the Republican nomination in August, when Representative Phil Swing, a dry, and others will oppose him. In the finals, if he wins, he may be opposed by the dry William Gibbs McAdoo. Sentiment is changing in California, as shown by the house vote on the Beck-Linthicum resolution, in which seven of California's eleven congressmen voted wet. Election of a wet Governor and announcement of Shortridge’sformer dry opponent, Walter Lineberger, that he will run lor congress as a wet, also are taken as significant of a change in the Hoover state. 200 TO ATTEND PARLEY V'"tinghouse Dealers and Salesmen to Hear Ad Campaign Plans. Attendance of 200 dealers and salesmen is expected at a meeting in the Severin Monday when the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company will present plans for its largest advertising and merchandising campaign.

Out-Heroding Herod, and outfooling April Fool day's weather, Miss Florence McDonald, 632 Riley avenue, wasn't as foolish as some persons might have thought when she grabbed her golf bag today. Perhaps it was the faith that moves mountains that prompted her to brush a little snow off the auto during the miniature blizzard this morning, as she set out for the links. At any rate, that faith was re-

HOUSE SPEEDS ! UP TO FINISH ALI BUSINESS Tax Bill Passage Is Near; Democratic Leaders Map Strategy. By Scrippt-Hoicard Xetcspaper Alliance , WASHINGTON, April I.—With t passing of the tax bill in sight, house Democratic leaders today threw the legislative machine into ! high gear to clear the calendars and adjourn the session before the na- t tional conventions in June. Behind this move is the desire of the Garner-Crisp leadership to furnish an example of business-like conduct of congressional affairs by Democrats. Rejoicing at their escape from the tax tailspin, which might have hurt their national prestige more seriously than it did, the Democratic leaders are determined to make a reputation for orderly and economic handling of major questions. If congress sits after the conventions, the Democrats want the blame to rest upon a Republican senate and not upon a Democratic house. The country then would witness the spectacle of the house resting upon its oars, waiting for the senate to catch up with it. There is political merit in this program. It would permit many house members to return home to> repair political fences while some Republican senators, seeking reelection, would have to remain here. In fact, all these factors carried weight with the Democratic strategists at the conferences which led to adoption of this program. The tax bill is expected to b passed tonight or Saturday at the latest. Then the house will begin immediate consideration of appro- j priation measures which have been held back for the tax debate. In handling appropriations, the Democrats will insist upon stricter j economy than the administration has sponsored. Thirteen Is Bad Luck Here By United Press KOKOMO, Ind., April I.—Ellis Waldron was the thirteenth man to file for the Democratic nomination as sheriff. That was unfortunate. A few minutes after filing, he was arrested on a fugitive warrant issued at Peru, where he is wanted on check fraud charges.

Sure Winner By United Press CROWN POINT, ind., April I—John Bochnowski is running against John Bochnowski for county treasurer, and it's no April fool joke. John Bochnowski of East Chicago is a candidate on the Democratic ticket. A few hours after he filed his declaration with County Clerk George Sweigert, John Bochnowski of Gary announced that he would be a candidate on the Republican ticket. If each wins in the primaries, there will be no doubt that John Bochnowski will be Lake county treasurer. The men are not related.

BLINU DRAMA ENUS HAPPILY Sightless Musician’s Wife Returns Repentant. By I nitrd Press CHICAGO. April I.—A touching drama of the blind played to a happy ending today. A few weeks ago Clinton Sabin, sightless accordian player, befriended Joseph Bera nek and took him to his home to live. A short time later Sabin's wife, who had guided the blind man through the streets as he played, sent one of the children along instead. Next Sabin appeared sadly at the detective bureau; his wife had taken his last S2O, he said, and gone away with Beranek. Police arrested Mrs. Sabin after she wrote her husband begging to be allowed to return. In court she displayed a broken arm and told Judge H. O. O'Connell Beranek had beaten her. “I was wrong,” Mrs. Sabin sobbed, “I’ll never go away again.” Sabin added his pleas that the past be forgotten. The judge consented.
