HOOVER FOILED PANIC, SPEAKER TELLSJARLEY No Mention of Prohibition Made by Dickinson in Keynote Speech. (Continued From Page 1) Finance Corporation; strengthening of the federal land bank system, enlargement of the rediscount facilities of the federal reserve banks; expanded financial aid to agriculture; a program for aid to depositors In closed banks. Rigid government economy and the President’s winning fight for a balanced budget.

Defends Gold Standard

Dickinson interrupted his recitals of Republican accomplishments with an attack upon “Democratic obstructionists.” “For two long years,” he said, “they hampered the President at every turn. “Through a highly subsidized press bureau, Democratic leaders, Democratic senators, and Democratic congressmen sought to distort his every word; to belittle his every effort at human and economic relief; to impugn his every motive; to frustrate his every move. Their orders were smear Hoover’.” The Democrats, he said, raised the "long dormant issue of flat money.” “The safety of the country requires the maintenance of the gold standard.” he said. “The value of the American dollar must be maintained throughout the world.” Under the head of “radicalism” he referred to the conference of “leaders of the self-styled progressives of both parties” held in Washington last summer. “This body, through its spokesmen, was to present a program to the nation which would be a cureall, and a short route to recovery,” he said. ‘lt is significant that no program ever has been presented.”

Relief for Farmers

He devoted much space to reviewing efforts of the administration to rehabilitate agriculture, the troubles of which he attributed largely to Democratic administration of the war years. The Republican agricultural policy, he said, embraces three main phases—orderly marketing as fostered by the farm board and allied government activities; adequate tariff protection, and cheaper transportation as embodied in the inland waterway, St. Lawrence waterway and similar transportation programs- “ Directly and indirectly,” he said, ' the federal government has, during the last three years, poured into the agricultural industry nearly $1,000,000.000.” He advanced the Hawley-Smoot tariff as the agency which prevented American markets being flooded with foreign ‘products.

Loyalty Is Demanded

The Democrats, he said, “chanted their hymn of hate” against this measure “in the whole warp and woof of which their handiwork appeared through their policy of demanding special protection for the products of their own districts.” Democratic tariff policies, he charged, would merge “our own needs into the lesser needs of Patagonia and Siam.” He listed as accomplishments of the administration foreign policy, the progress of the efforts toward disarmament, the averting of “a (hreatencd war between China and Russia;” ending “unofficial hostilities between China and Japan;” and the reduction of marine forces in Haiti and Nicaragua. Dickinson closed with a plea for party loyalty.

‘SHADES’ IS DELIGHT AS VACATION SPOT

Many Motorists Find Rest and Pleasure There Over Week-End. Many car owners in Indiana are in the habit of driving away from their home communities Saturday afternoon to pass the week-end in some region where the natural scenery and excellent accommodations tend to make them forget the everyday cares of life. Many of these motorists regard these jaunts as a vest pocket edition of a vacation. The problem of where to go can be solved very easily by the many beauty spots which abound in Indiana. The Hoosier state contains a great variety of scenery, such as the sand dunes and lakes in the northern part; then the prairie; the rock formation, as found in Turkey Run and the Shades; the hills in Brown county, and the caves, Wyandotte and Marengo, in southern Indiana. If one wishes to motor a short distance for the week-end, "The Shades,” only fifty-nine miles from Indianapolis via Road 34 to Crawfordsville; 43 to Road 234, which leads to within one mile of The Shades entrance. This is a picturesque, restful, enjoyable, and historical spot—a rugged terrain, lined with deep-cut ravines, beautified by cliffs and waterfalls, rippling cascades, a region of virgin forest, dotted with sparkling mineral springs which long have been famous for their medicinal qualities. This is the largest privately owned park in the state, comprising more than 2,000 acres. The scenery is second to none. The Shades has been growing steadily in popularity, enough to warrant many improvements. These include a 23,000-gallon water tower; fire plugs for protection; hot and cold running water in the entire building and some rooms with private bath; an up-to-date kitchen, equipped to serve chicken dinners; a large water softener; an automatic oil heater; a basement excavated for laundry equipment and storeroom. Many motorists become so charmed with this region that in addition to passing frequent weekends they also pas their entire regular vacation there.

SLASH TRAVEL TIME TO PARTY CONVENTIONS Many Come by Air; 25 Days From California in 1860. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, June 14.—1 t takes delegates to the political conventions this year only one-twenty-fifth as long to get from California to Chicago as it did the delegates in 1860 when Lincoln was nominated. That year they traveled by stage coach and train, and it took them twenty-five days. This year many of them made reservations on the airlaines, and from California to Chicago is only twenty hours. In 1860 it took the delegates twen-ty-one days to travel from the Pacific coast to Omaha by Wells-Fargo mail passenger stages, three days from Omaha to Cedar Rapids by stage, and one day from Cedar Rapids to Chicago by rail. Althougii the last leg of the journey was only 258 miles, the speed of trains then only was about twenty miles an hour. It was not until 1869 that the first train steamed from the west coast to Chicago, and not until 1872, that Pacific coast delegates came all the way to the conventions by train. SUSPEND ARMS PARLEY Public Work of Conference Ended by Steering Committee Session.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ATTENTION OF PARLEY TURNS TOfiAJFORM Dickinson, as Keynoter, Urges Loyalty to Hoover. (Continued From Page 1) organ in the balcony apropriately opened with the musical greeting to the convention delegates entitled “Between the Devil and Deep Blue Sea.” Not content with this musical jibe, the organist, who seemed a little uncertain of his geography and addressed the gathering Republicans with the pipe organ version of “Dixie.” This gigantic organ, the largest in the world, can unloose a volume equal to two thousand band instruments. Proud Chicagoans say its vibrations at full volume would shatter the lights bulbs in this stadium. Senator Dickinson of lowa arrived thirty minutes in advance, smiling and apparently unterrifled by the task he was about to undertake. Bingham Ready to Fight He wore a special gold badge, a handsome souvenir for his grandchildren. Photographers hustled him before the microphones out on the speakers tongue and photographed him. Senator Dickinson paused in his posing and leaned down to this correspondent and pointing, his finger said with a laugh: “Now, write a nice story. Don’t put in any dirty stuff.” He wore a dark blue coat, gray trousers, a dark necktie of strictly orthodox lowa pattern and a non wilting collar. Senator Hiram Bingham, known as the tall sycamore of Connecticut, son of an American missionary, born in Hawaii, married into the millions of the Tiffany jewelry family, father of seven tall sons, arrived early to view the scene of his prospective battle ground. He is the new champion of the outright repeal forces, and will lead their charge on the convention floor. Senator Bingham recently clashed with the idol of the drys, Senator Borah in a flashing senate debate which brought him cheers from the gallery. “They apparently are going to bring in a resubmission plank," Bingham said, “but if they do I am ready to fight it to the end.” Largest Convention Hall This is the largest hall in which a national convention was ever held, it was said, and arrangements have exceeded anything in the past in elaborate detail. Hundreds of telegraph wires already were clicking off the convention preliminaries before the opening gavel fell. Beneath the platform, the big radio companies had had elaborate stalls established and equipped with microphones, comfortable chairs, electric fans, all the comforts of a studio. Back above the platform were broadcasters sitting behind glass kindows in small booths—looking from the floor below, all the world like a group of marionette shows. As veterans of many conventions sat idly in their seats, moved to reverie by soft organ music, ghosts of the past no doubt slipped across their thoughts. Noted Figures Missing Only twelve years ago in this same city a Republican national convention met. It’s big figures—Warren Harding, Major-General Leonard Wood, senator Hiram Johnson, Albert B. Fall, Harry M. Daugherty, Senator Borah—all are absent, some forever. Even the senatorial group which took that famous strife-torn convention and lasheed it down for one

of their senate golfing buddies, a sweet, lovable but not so very known figure—they were absent, too, most of them held in Washington, the legislative jam. The conventions of this generation except this one have all had as important performers, Senator James E. Watson .of Indiana, George Moses of New Hampshire, David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, Reed Smoot of Utah and their former colleague, Vice-President Curtis, who sits now in Washington, uncertain whether this convention will rename him. A few moments before the gavel fell, President Hoover’s only opponent for the presidential nomination, Gorvernor France of Maryland, wandered in alone. France Is Bewildered He looked about in a rather bewildered way. Finally, he mounted the platform wearing a button advocating prohibition repeal. He claims more than 200 convention votes, but only a handful from Oregon have been instructed for him, and that because Mr. Hoover neglected to file in the primary. ACTION ON WILKERSON HELD UP IN SENATE Decision on Judge Appointment Is Unlikely Before Winter. By Scrippg-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, June 15.—Failure of the senate judiciary committee to act on the Hoover nomination of Judgee Wilkerson for thee circuit court of appeals probably postpones until next winter the settlement of this controversial issue between the White House and union labor. It is unlikely that this committee will act on the Wilkerson nomination before adjournment, and if it does, it is unlikely that the senate will vote upon its recommendation. Since Wilkerson’s name is before the senate, President Hoover can not name him as an interim appointee. The senat committee also has sidetracked the vote on the other Hoover court of appeals appointee, Judge Kenneth Mackintosh of Seattle.

SI.OB MINIMUM ON WATER NOT TO BECHANGED Retention of That Part of Schedule Seems Assured After Hearing. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Declaring that “an emergency exists here which needs immediate relief,” Commissioner Harry K. Cuthbertson brought the latest Indianapolis Water Company rate case to a close today. He announced that'he expected to have an order, based on the evidence in the case, ready to submit to the public service commissioners at a conference Friday. It appeared that the order will mean an upset to the company’s petition for re-establishment of precompromise rates, which brought this latest hearing. SI.OB Minimum Assured Retention of the SI.OB minimum to small consumers and the $66,000 cut in hydrant rental to the city seemed assured. Rate increases to large consumers, which was part of the compromise, will likely to be readjusted downward, with the possibility that oid rates may be reestablished on the higher consumption brackets. To retain the compromise reductions and lose the compromise increase will cause the company to lose $285,000 in annual revenues, It was asserted at the hearing. They will agree to nothing more than a $55,000 loss, their attorneys declared. At the close of the hearing, John F. White, state representative and civic club leader, pleaded with company officials .to accept the $285,000 loss as the company’s contribution to present distress. City’s Plight Cited He declared that a 6 per cent dividend still could be declared on the common stock. Testimony showing that numerous families of the unemployed are living in rented houses where the water is shut off, was introduced *by Walter Rothermel of the South Side Civic Clubs. Rothermel was on hand to join with Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan in urging that the SI.OB minimum be not increased. Miss Mabel Strome, welfare worker for the Salvation Army, took the stand to tell of the plight of the people among whom she works. Some go as far as three blocks for water to the only tap that may be left running, she said. Thomas G. Magee and Charles A. Huff presented evidence to show why apartment owners can not pay increased rates at the present time. Magee made a plea for both utility rate and tax relief at the close. No Oral Arguments Malcolm Pirnie, New York Citv civil engineer, appeared as a company expert and placed a $26,456,152 valuation on the company properties. Through questioning by Cuthbertson he gave the present value of the $19,000,000 figure set by the United States supreme court in 1924 as $16,180,000. Edward H. Knight, corporation counsel, wrung from the witness the admission that he “didn’t believe land values in Indianapolis had gone down, because there is no market even for tax sales..” To speed the decision of the case, attorneys agreed to submit memoranda this afternoon or Wednesday morning and not hold oral arguments in the case. Anew compromise was suggested

War by ‘Blues’ By United Pres* WASHINGTON. June 14.—A musical duet for control of the bonus army was in prospect today. Police Chief Glassford proposed to call out the army, navy and marine bands to play sentimental pieces to make the veterans homesick. He suggested such ballads as “Home. Sweet Home,” Little Gray Home in the West,” Wabash Blues,” and “California, Here I come.” “Yeah?” responded Commander Mike Thomas, Camden, N. J., commander of the Anacostia veterans’ camp. “If he does. I’ll call out my bugles and drums and drown them out.” ‘“Home Sweet Home’ won’t mean anything,” opined Com-mander-in-Chief Walter W. Waters. “Most of us haven't got any homes.”

by attorneys Carl Wilde and A. B. Cronk, who represented Moynahan at the hearing.Schedule showing the effect of the $1.25 minimum on reducing consumer costs to those who were increased was offered as an exhibit by William L. Ransom, New York attorney for the water company. But Cuthbertson would not permit its introduction. He said he was opposed to such procedure and that a rate order will be written by him for commission approval based on the evidence in the case. James E. Deery, city attorney, made a plea for the company to take the $285,000 loss, pointing out that the common stock dividend could be cut from 12 to 6 per cent, which still would be “a fine return in these distressed times.” Largest Increase $7.74 Ransom and Cuthbertson agreed the 12 per cent dividends, which go to Clarence H. Geist, Philadelphia owner of the water company, can not be considered in rate making. Geist’s contribution has been to sacrifice a SI,OOO monthly salary as president of the company, it was revealed previouslyThrough his questioning of Moynahan, Cuthbertson developed that the largest monthly increase for any of his apartments under the first month of the new rates (April was $7.74.

GASTON MEANS FOUND GUILTY IN LINOTFRAUD Liable to Twenty Years in Prison for $104,000 Larceny Scheme. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 14.—Portly Gaston B. Means, flamboyant detective, stands convicted of larceny of $104,000 which Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean gave him, after he assured her that he could restore the Lindbergh baby to its parents. The conviction makes Means liable to a possible maximum sentence of twenty years in prison. Means’ attorney threatened to seek a writ of hebeas corpus today to obtain his release from jail pending appeal. After the jury returned the verdict of guilty Monday night. Justice James Proctor of District of Columbia supreme coqrt refused to free him on bond of $50,000. Appeal May Be Filed Counsel has four days to file an appeal for Means. If this is not done. Justice Proctor then will set a date for imposition of sentence. Means was arrested on May 8, after Mrs. McLean and her attorneys had demanded repeatedly that Means return the money. Mrs. McLean, estranged wife of Edward B. McLean, wealthy publisher, enlisted Means’ aid early in March in an effort to find the Lindbergh baby. He told her he was certain he could bring about the child's safe return. She gave him SIOO,OOO to be used as ransom money and $4,000 for expenses. Served Prison Terms Means led the society woman on trips to Aiken, S. C., and El Paso. Tex., and many times promised that return of the baby was imminent. The child at that time lay dead in the New Jersey woods. If Means is sent to prison in this case, it will not be for the first time. The former investigator for the department of justice has served two two-year terms in Atlanta, one in an embezzlment case and one for conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws.
