DEMOCRATS AT CHICAGO CLASH ON WET PLANK Debate Repeal or Straddle; Majority ‘Dripping,’ Says Shouse. BY LEO R. SACK Timei Stall Writer CHICAGO, June 18.—The advance guard of Democratic politicians arriving here today for their national convention, which convenes a week from Monday, Immediately clashed in a debate over whether they should demand prohibition repeal or duplicate the Republicans on the so-called "Hoover straddle plank." Joyett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic national executive committee, first of the committe officials on thte scene, already has received fifty prohibition platform suggestions. They range, he said, from the moderate referendum idea to repeal. "The large proportion are very, very wet,’’ he observed. “The trend is toward repeal. Others advance the so-called Swedish system, and many want the entire problem returned to the stages.’’ • The first Democratic prohibition fight will occur within the resolutions committee, even as it did with the Republicans—but with this difference: The Democratic resolutions committee, which convenes next Thursday, will not be under White House pressure to accept a straddle platform. Aim to Be Frank Democrats have struggled over prohibition at two national committee meetings within the past two years, with the result, in Shouse’s opinion, that they further are advanced as to what they want to do than were the Republicans when they reached Chicago. "Whatever we do,’’ Shouse assorted, "we will be franker than were the Republicans. It is quite possible that we will favor the submission by congress of a repeal resolution.’’ Among the leaders arriving here it is noticeable that the G. O. P. evasion has won some Democratic political drys to the belief that their party ought to be wetter. The more seasoned spokesmen, represented largely by members of the anti-Roosevelt bloc, insist that the party demand scrapping of the "noble experiment.” They also demand that the candidate express his unequivocal sympathy with this repeal stand, when, and if, such a plank is adopted. Sec Eastern Gain They estimate the possible votes to be won as very large in the eastern states, embittered over the Republicans’ failure to meet the issue. Privately the anti-Roosevelt forces think the G. O. P.’s action is a tactical gain for them. Besides capitalizing wet sentiment in New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Illinois — which have almost 200 electoral votes, they point out that the candidate should, if possible, be a man who appeals to this territory. Roosevelt, as even his friends admit, is more satisfactory to the dry west than the wet east. Name Is Withheld By United Press NEW YORK, June 18—Embarrassing political alignments attributed to men discussed as possible nominators of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt at the Democratic convention, caused the delay in announcement of that nominator’s name, it was reported here today. The man to place Roosevelt's name before the convention as its presidential nominee will be announced Sunday; it had been scheduled for announcement Friday. Tammany Hall, it was reported, prevented the selection of Senator Robert F. Wagner as the speaker. Wagner was not a member of the state delegation, and Tammany held a veto power over any plan calling for resignation of a member of the delegation so Wagner might be named to the vacancy. Hint at Bowers The senator also was opposed, it was reported, by the faction friendly to Alfred E. Smith, rival of Roosevelt. Mayor James J. Walker, under fire as result of the Hofstadter investigation, also was reported fighting any move by the New York delegation that might aid Roosevelt, and as a result is co-operating again with Smith, whom he once opposed. Claude G. Bowers,' Democratic keynoter in 1928 at Houston, was the second possible nominator most generally discussed as the Roosevelt selection. It was learned that such a selection was warded off by Bowers’ friends. Bowers is an editorial writer for William Randolph Hearst’s New York Evening Journal, and Hearst is supporting the candidacy of Speaker John N. Garner of Texas. Senator Wagner, it was learned, incurred Tammany enmity by his failure to aid the Tammany fight against the Walker investigation. He incurred Smith’s displeasure byfavoring Roosevelt over Smith for the nomination. TRUCK PLEA REFUSED Railway Express Firm Denied Right to Run Kokomo Service. Petition of the Railway Express Motor Transport, Inc., a subsidiary of the Railway Express Company, for a certificate to operate trucks as common carriers for freight between Indianapolis and Kokomo, has been denied by the public service commission. Commissioner Frank Singleton, who heard the case, wrote an order granting a certificate, but he failed to get any other commissioners to vote approval. They held that no public convenience or necessity would be served. E. E. Mills Trucking Company, South Bend, was granted a certificate to operate between Indianapolis and South Bend and the Lees Truck Line, Terre Haute, between Indianapolis and Terre Haute. The New York, Chicago and St. Louis railroad was granted permission to discontinue two passenger trains operated daily between Frankfort and the Illinois state line, en route to Charleston, 111. ■ftrthquake Rocks Mexico City By United Prest MEXICO CITY, June 18.—A strong earthquake shock shook Mexico City early today.

BUNNY TO ‘GO FUR’

And He’ll Make a Real Coat

SffiT \ IjBBF — 'zjjjz , CPv i Bg||jSy jid^ ’'*”l^'' ' ~'

Upper—Wayne Cotta, rabbit-breeder, and one of his bunnies in Seal’s clothing. Lower—" Buck” is worth one hundred bucks in coin of the realm, but try and buy him.

WHEN the Winter-coat Futurity of Mrs. Year TwoThousand is run on city boulevards it’ll be won by a “hare.” Which is just another way of putting the lowly fried rabbit into the drawing rooms and out of the dining cars. And in. Indianapolis, there’s a man who is breeding bunnies as big as poodle-dogs that have fur so near like seals that Mama Seal would mistake them for long-lost cousins. He is Wayne Cotta, 1719 East East Thirty-seventh street, and he has fifty rabbits in the 200 in his hutches that would go a long way toward making a couple of $2,500 coats for the.“femmes” of today. In fact, rabbits, similar to those bred by Cotta, have been made into a coat on but one occasion and that coat is valued at SB,OOO and is worn by Lady Watson, an Englishwoman. nun COTTA is one of the pioneers , in the breeding of the Havana Rex and Seal Rex hares. It is his hope as well as other breeders that the time will come when the seal-like softness of the furs they breed for will supplant the seal of the Arctic regions for society’s "Four Hundred.” You can’t buy a rabbit from Cotta. Folk have tried, too, and have walked away at his price-tag of SIOO for a buck or af doe. The offspring of these bunnies will form the soft-furred breed of the future and probably become milady’s coat. Patience, after nineteen years of breeding rabbits, and the desire to obtain the softest texture of fur keeps Cotta from selling even one of the fifty seal-like bunnies. "I’m not quite satisfied yet. Out of litters I’d only get one in six-ty-four rabbits like these, so you can see I’ve been a long time stocking up,” he says. • MU COTTA tells of the genetics of rabbits as glibly as a circusbarker recites the charms of the hula “gal” in the sideshow tent. He has a fawn-tan Rex rabbit bred and there’s only two others in the world like her. Hfi has rabbits with the fur of royalty's ermine.

He says the day will come when rabbit-fur takes its place with the foxes, seals and muskrat, as wearing apparel for women. The problem of the furriers now is quantity not quality of the fur, Cotta says.

SEPARATED FOR 20 YEARS. PAIR UNITEOIN CITY Happy Married Life Was Blocked by Balkan War in 1912. Twenty years of separation that almost made strangers of a husband and wife ended Friday in a happy reunion on a farm at the west end of Tenth street. Carl Deloff and his wife, Katrina, worked today among the flower beds, cabbages and com—aeitermined to make their little farm produce twice as much now. "Tell me, is this Katrina? How you have changed!” Deloff exclaimed when he met nis wife at the Union station Wednesday. Their new happiness is like they enjoyed in Macedonia for three short months in 1912. He was only 20 and she a girl of 18. Then the Balkan war broke their romance. Deloff was arrested by Grecian police. He escaped t 6 America as a political refuge, vowing never to return while Macedonia remained under Greek rule. He came to the little farm which he had established for his bride near Indianapolis a few months before. For weeks she did not hear from her husband. Then he wrote for her to come to America. But this was not easy. When her family consented, the immigration officials interfered. Deloff was not a citizen of the United States; his wife could not enter this country. Because he could not remember the name of the steamship that brought him here, he could not get citizenship papers. Finally, however, a friend provided the name of the steamer. Today, both say they will be successful farmers, together.

Joy and Gloom Chicago Kids Happy With Freedom; Teachers Broke, Hungry.

CHICAGO, June 18. —The summer vacation began today for 500,000 cheery youngsters of Chicago’s public schools, but to 14,000 unpaid school teachers It meant twelve black weeks to be faced with empty purses and barren larders. So serious did the plight of the teachers appear that an emergency committee of civic leaders and officials was formed to visit Washington Tuesday in an effort to obtain federal aid. Mayor Anton J. Cermak formed the mission at a night conference of officials and Chicago bankers, held a few hours after 500 teachers had stormed the mayor's office demanding action. Approximately six months’ pay is due the teachers. Bankers headed by Melvin A. Traylor, Democratic dark-horse presidential candidate and president of the First National bank, informed the mayor the city could expect little more in the w r ay of loans until citizens start to pay taxes in some volume. The emergency committee appointed by Cermak included both of Illinois’ senators and the state’s congressional delegation. It will ask that congress revise the statutes of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to allow that agency to loan money directly to the impoverished Chicago governments. Traylor made clear that the banks will not borrow funds from the corporation and reloan the money to the city. } # In the Air Weather conditions at 9 a. m.: South wind, 12 miles an hour; temperature, 70; barometric pressure, 29.95 at sea level; ceiling, high, broken clouds, unlimited; visibility, twenty miles; field, good.

DOLLARS THAT WORK

Sometimes dollars get away before it is noticed and produce no worthwhile results. Dollars placed with a Strong Trust Company, like this one—the Oldest in Indiana—immediately go to work earning interest and thus grow to larger sums. Trying it out next payday and starting a savings account would be a good move.
