SHIFT TO WET SIDE GAINING IN RANKSOF DRYS Move for Resubmission Is Gathering Arid Die-Hards Into Fold. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER Prm Staff CorrurvcM.nt WASHINGTON, April 26.—The toward resubmission of the prohibition Issue is penetrating deeply into dry ranks. It no longer is a “wet" movement. Evidence t* appearing daily of radical changes of views among some of the prominent drys. Some of the more cautious of them are hitching to various resubmission proposals with provisos intended to fcave them with their dry friends. There is no doubt among all careful observers in Washington that the procession across the bridge to the resubmission side now is in the rush stage. In Pennsylvania today, Senator James J. Davis (Rep.), who two years ago “stood with President Hoover" on prohibition, is running for renomination as a wet indorsed' by the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment and other anti-prohibition organizations. Overshadows Issues The shift in the lineup now is about to overshadow most other aspects of the presidential preconvention fight. Within the Hoover administration • every member of the cabinet is ready to support resubmission, as reported by the United Press last week. Two of the driest members have slightly varying plans for bringing about'a test of sentiment. President Hoover’s position still is unknown. He prefers to ‘‘let the convention decide." Missouri offers a striking example of what is going on. The Republican party hitherto has been dry in Missouri, except in St. Louis. Agriculture Secretary Hyde recently accepted the resubmission idea and will fight for it at the Chicago convention. Governor Henry S. Caulfield, for some years identified with the rural dry Republican organization, has declared for resubmission.

Hay Swings Over Now the most conspicuous dry Missouri Democrat, Charles M. Hay, candidate for the senatorial nomination. long associated with the Anti-Saloon League as director and attorney, and still a believer in the eighteenth amendment, has declared for resubmtssion. “The eighteenth amendment was christened in the corruption of the Harding administration, lulled to sleep under Coolidge and investigated under Hoover, so we don’t know what w r e could do with it if it was given a chance,” Hay said to a group of friends here. “But since there has ’tome to be some doubt among many people as to whether a majority of the country wants to retain it, I am Tor taking the question to the voters.” A few' months ago the extreme drys doggedly were declaring prohibition was in the Constitution to stay. „ Includes Notables Now' the list of those agreeable to a test in one form or another include F. Scott Mcßride, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, Bishop James Cannon, and former Governor Harry F. Byrd of Virginia. Senators and congressmen are going on record almost daily for some form of resubmission. A significant thing about this movement is that it is not built around any individual personalities or organizations. There is no antiprohibition figure w r ho is directing activity in any way comparable to that of E. C. Dinwiddle and the late Wayne B. Wheeler in bringing about federal prohibition. GREATER SECURITY FOR DEPOSITORS IS URGED Edward S. Hecker Would Require Bonds of Stockholders. To afford bank depositors greater security by guaranteeing the “double liability” of bank stockholders, Edward S. Hecker. candidate for the Republican nomination for state senior, advocates a law requiring the stockholders to deposit, with the state banking commission, bonas equal to double the amount of their holdings. Hecker made this proposal at the meeting of the Irvington Republican Club Monday night. He also declared that legislation should be enacted making it a felony for any state bank or trust company official to lend money to organizations in which the officials or directors hold one-fourth or more of the total stock. Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin and other candidates briefly discussed the issues. FRANCO-GERMAN ARMS PACT SEEN POSSIBILITY Geneva Delegates Await Arrival of Tardieu for Parley. By United Press GENEVA, April 26.—Hope for a Franco-German understanding to permit a measure of disarmament with the United States taking part, was raised today. Secretary of State Stimson, Chancellor Heinrich Bruening and Premier J. Ramsay MacDonald decided today to remain here until Friday, in expectation that Premier Andre Tardieu would get here by then and permit a four-power conference. The decision was reached after a two-hour discussion today between Stimson, Bruening and MacDonald.

FARFLUNG HUNT LAUNCHED FOR MUNCIE KILLERS Descriptions Broadcast in Nation-Wide Search for Policeman Slayers. By Time * Special MUNCIE. Ind.. April 26—Aroused by the brutal murder of patrolman James Ovid McCracken, this city today sought the nation’s aid in solving the latest chapter in its criminal history. McCracken, a well-known baseball player, was slain Sunday night as he sought to protect guards of theater receipts as the bandits attacked them in the downtown district. The bandits fled, after the shooting, with $747. McCracken, caught unawares by bandit raid, never had an opportunity to draw his revolver. He was shot and fell to the street under the volley from the bandit weapons. Police are checking clews throughout the midwest in hope of finding the three gunmen, two of whom did the shooting, while the third remained at the wheel of the getaw'ay car. Mayor George Dale, pushing the search for the slayers, said volunteer offers of aid in the hunt had been received from large cities in the east and midwest, and that almost 5.000 circulars, bearing descriptions of the officer's slayers, will be issued within twenty-four hours. Hundreds were mailed to principal cities Monday. McCracken was the first policeman to be slain here in nine years. The murder has stirred this city more than any other crime in recent years. Since Dale has been mayor, he has attempted to block criminal activities and has smashed many crime haunts in the city. Frank Massey, police chief, said today the city council will be asked to appropriate SI.OSQ as a reward for capture of the killers. Officers said they believed this amount would draw information from the underworld that might uncover the trail of the slayers. McCracken was caught between the fire of the bandits as they used

Lads Start Training for Times Marble Tourney Scores of mibs shooters trundled out their taws and agates today, starting earnest training for The Times city-wide marbles tournament, which will win the champion a trip to Ocean City, N. J., in June, with all expense? paid. Campaign of information in all city schools will start at once, with Lieutenant Frank Owen linking the marbles tourney with his safety talks to grade school classes. Owen insists that marbles on school grounds is one of the safest sports and usually is under supervision. Tentative plan is to hold matches at every public, parochial and private school in the city, to choose a champion for each educational institution. These 127 winners would meet in the quarter-finals, to be held at eight central locations. Winners here would go into the semi-finals in May, with the finals in June to choose the all-city winner for the trip to New Jersey. Watch for the complete rules of the tournament, which will be printed in The later this week. You must know these rules before you can compete. Now get out the taws and the agates and start your spring training at once. There’s a rich reward awaiting the winner.

Foster Norton and Howard Webster, theater employes, as human shields against the possible gunfire of the officer. Finger prim experts are checking prints found on a window found near the scene of the shooting. Police believe the robbers stood against the window as they waited for the money messengers to come from a darkened door near the theater. The car used, a light sedan of I 1930 or 1931 model, bore a six-digit license, the first number of which is not known. The other numbers, as issued by police are 67-574. Webster and Norton gave officers descriptions of the gunmen, which had been broadcast. They are: No. 1. 26 or 30. five feet, eleven inches tall, about 150 pounds and wearing a dark topcoat and grey hat. No. 2. Five feet, ten inches tall. 145 or 150. brown topcoat and brown hat; well dressed. No. 3. About 28, grey suit and hat, and weight about 160. He remained in the car. The last policeman murder was in September, 1923, when patrolman Tony Hellis was slain while attempting to arrest a crazed wife beater. Baseball players and police officers will be pallbearers at McCracken’s funeral, to be held at 2 Wednesday afternoon in High street M. E. church. Burial will be in the Maxville cemetery.

Mr. Greer obeyed orders. He said. “Bishops ought to be good for i something besides ordaining deacons and dedicating buildings. If district j officials can tell ministers how to ’ run their churches, the ministers should be allowed to tell the officials i how to run the districts. “The number of bishops and areas | should be slashed with a cor- | responding cut in salaries and ! bishops should be allowed more time for spiirtual service to the church.” GAM E WARDEN KILLED Shotgun Discharges Accidentally as He Hangs It in Garage.
