ROOSEVELT NOT SURE TO WIN NOOSIERS' VOTE Indiana, Holding Power to Put Candidate Across, Studies Situation. BY BEN STERN CHICAGO, June 25. Optimistic managers of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who were telling the world that Indiana’s thirty delegate votes will be found in their candidate’s lap, today had another thought coming. Indiana holds the key to the presidential nomination situation and the leaders of Hoosier democracy here so enjoy the feeling of power that they are not going to relinquish it in exchange for blandishments. This they indicated clearly this morning, as they awaited arrival of Frank McHale of Logansport, chairman of the delegation. But if it's a bandwagon, Indiana, following custom, will be there. Those on the spot, who have been stalling James A. Farley of New York, Roosevelt manager and his cohorts, are Thomas D. Taggart, national committeeman; R. Earl Peters, state chairman; Paul V. McNutt, Governor nominee; Richard Werneke, Terre Haute "boss” and member of the now all-important rules committee, and Perry McCart of Paoli, resolutions committee member. Conference Is Slated When McHale arrives here, a conference will be held and all discoveries made by the others will be discussed and strategy decided upon. If McNutt, Peters and Taggart have their way, the thirty votes will be divided among all candidates on the first ballot, they indicated today, although a majority lean toward Roosevelt. Werneke declared openly that he would vote against abrogation of the century-old two-thirds rule required for nomination. "I told Farley that although I was opposed to the two-thirds rule in principle, I felt that it was unsportsmanlike to propose its abrogation at this time. Too Late to Change "His candidate, Roosevelt, knew of this rule and could have asked the national committee in January to remove this obstacle to his nomination. This is too late a date to take the step, in my opinion,” The Indiana delegation will be asked to back its rules committee member in his stand when the question is taken to the floor. Hoosier leaders also expressed themselves as being friendly to Jouett Shouse in his fight against Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana for the permanent chairmanship. It is known that Taggart informed Farley as to this when the matter was broached to him over the telephone before coming to Chicago and the national committeeman has not changed his opinion. See Roosevelt Slump General tenor of conversation here is that the movement to “stop Roosevelt” has gained ground and the state leaders feel that they do not want to be caught on the end of a limb when the break comes, it was intimated plainly. Although three districts instructed their delegates to vote for Roosevelt, a resolution was adopted at the caucus of the delegates in Indianapolis Tuesday to come here uninstructed. Mayor Frank Griese of Evansville was the only one to oppose this move, and was voted down speedily. Fights for Repeal The submissionists will encounter a stumbling block in Perry McCart when it comes to the question of repeal of the eighteenth amendment and the part which Indiana played in the prohibition fight featuring the Republican convention here two weeks ago may be re-enacted, with McCart playing the role then assumed by Henry Marshall, Lafayette publisher. "I shall insist upon the plank we adopted in Tuesday's convention,” he said. This pronouncement was in favor of repeal and not resubmission. Official caucus of the delegation has been set for 8:30 Sunday night, when all questions will be discussed. WIN EXTRADITIoFfIGHT City to return Man Wanted Here in Alleged Embezzlement. George Black, former city resident, will be returned from Seattle, Wash., to face a charge of alleged embezzlement of SIO,OOO from Mrs. Doris G. Smalley, according to word received today by Prosecutor Herbert Wilson. Detective William Miller, in the Washington city for the extradition fight, wired Wilson Friday that the federal circuit court of appeals in San Francisco, Cal., had ordered Black returned to Indianapolis. Negro Held at Bootlegger Leaping from his auto as it was forced to the curb by police at 1700 Vandeman avenue Friday night, William Trabue, Negro. 1866 South Keystone avenue, was arrested on charges of transporting liquor and operating blind tiger, after a search of the car disclosed thirty-one quarts of home brew, according to police.

Big Hearted By l nited Press SIOUX CITY, Ia„ June 25. —The $75,000 that customers owed James Hennum and his wife, operators of a general store at Sloan, twenty miles from here, has been wiped off the books. Hennum sent letters to all his customers canceling the debts, which ranged from a few cents to as much as SI,OOO. The Hennums said they had prospered running the store, and their neighbors were hard pressed. **We meant just what we said,” Hennum explained. "Everything ia canceled. We have plenty to live on. If the folks want to give their money let them give it to the church or the needy.”

AIRSHIP INSTITUTE TO BE DEDICATED

Akron Ceremonies Sunday; Rites for U. S. S. Macon Set for July 4. By I nited Press AKRON, 0., June 25.—Dedication of the Guggenheim Airship institute here Sunday will be the occasion for a general discussion and review of progress made in construction of huge air liners. Scientists and aircraft experts from all parts of the United States are expected to attend the dedicatory ceremony for the $50,000 building. Original plans provided that the U. S. S. Macon, sister ship of the U. S. S. Akron, would be dedicated at the same time, but because of the inability of officials of Macon, Ga„ and the state of Georgia, to be here at that time, the giant airship will be dedicated at a separate ceremony July 4. Dr. Robert A. Millikan, chairman of the executive council, California Institute of Technology; Dr. George F. Zook, Akron university president, a member of the Guggenheim Foundation, and Mayor C. Nelson Sparks will be central figures in the laboratory dedication. The scientists who will outline the first year’s program of the foundation will inspect the Goodyear - Zeppelin plant and the airdock Sunday morning, June 26. The formal dedication will be held at 2:30 p. m. The following day will be spent in technical discussions presided over by Dr. Millikan. The conference will end with a banquet at Hotel Mayflower Monday night, t SCOUTS LEAVE CAMP Second Group Going to Reservation on July Fourth.

THET-TEU MI,'JLJ

CHICAGO, June 25.—Despite the bitter factionalism existing among Democrats as a result of the "halt Roosevelt” fight, there is a feeling of victory in the air. Probably intoxicated with this sentiment, any delegate, on the least provocation, will halt to tell the world that "any Democrat can beat Hoover.” So prevalent is this opinion that Hoover will be defeated that a passenger in the Monon smoker yesterday told a yarn worth passing on as illustrative of the general point of view that the President can’t do the nation any good. Between puffs on a nondepression sized cigar, this passenger told how a small boy had been plaguing his father for weeks with demands for a toy train. Finally, a few days following the Republican convention adoption of the straddle plank on liquor, the parent, after the boy made his plea for the train, said: “Well, son, I'll promise you that if Hoover is re-elected I’ll buy you the Monon to play with.” When they are not discussing the perplexing question of whether Roosevelt has been stopped, Indiana delegates naturally turn to the topic of their Hoosier Republican friends. One of the points of interest relates to how close Governor Harry

The Mustard! The morning mop waltzed its soapy self over the restaurant floor on Washington street. Breakfasters had gone. The early dinner crowd straggled in. They skidded on the soapy floor. Two waitresses gossiped. "She thinks she’s the mustard . . . horse radash, I’d say,” were the comments as they jealously eyed another feminine worker. The mop swished near the girl who’s ears should have burned. She was cleaning off the table utensils. She balanced them on a tray and started toward the kitchen. "Bam” and her feet uplifted on the soapy floor. The tray fell. The gossipers were aghast. She was the “mustard” for she sat on the soapy floor amid an array of broken mustard and horse-radish jars.

G. Leslie came to copping the G. O. P. vice-presidential nomination. Credit for stopping Leslie was given to Lieutenant Governor Edgar D. Bush by one of the conferees to the amazement of the others in the huddle. How come? they asked. And the answering is an interesting commentary on practical politics. tt tt tt Governor Leslie was host to the governors’ conference here last year and made valuable contacts. If he had attended the conference in Richmond, Va„ early in May of this year, he could have renewed friendships and impinged himself on the minds of his fellow governors (as only he can), so that they might have gravitated toward him naturally at the national convention. These friendships, together with the alliances entered into through the fight for the dry law repeal plank, might have put over Leslie. But he did not attend the Governor's conference. Why? Because of Ed Bush, whose reported threats that he would issue a call for a special session if Leslie left the state, kept the Governor close to the fireside. So. by this reasoning, Bush beat Leslie for the vice-presidential nomination. Or are all of wrong?

And it’s Ellenberger park, just off Ritter avenue, that east side swimmers call their own ballwick. High upon a hill the Ellenberger pool is monarch of all the landscape it surveys. It is the meeting place of the neighborhood. Lying at its feet, below the hill, are the tennis courts, ball diamonds, and picnic grounds. Shade trees for picnics and just plain or fancy methods of taking life easy on a hot day are bounteous in Ellenberger. A playground furnishes amusement for the toddlers. It’s a park for all-ages and all amusements.

‘JEKELL-HYDE’ ROLEJLOSED U. S. Corrects Mistake and Bondi Becomes Bondi. For eight years Nicolo'Bondi. 49, of 713 South East street, lived as Bondi, the American citizen, but all his characteristics were those of Nick Benedetto. This Jekell-Hyde role was ended today by correction of Bondi’s naturalization papers in the county clerk’s office. The mistake, that legally bestowed Benedetto’s hair, eyes, age and children on Bondi in 1924, did not hamper Bondi’s citizenship rights. Anew certificate of citizenship was issued today by Edward J. Kennedy, of the naturalization bureau, Cincinnati, O. By mistake, Bondi's old certificate had been written on back of Benedetto’s application for citizenship. Thus, in legal description, Bondi had brown eyes, instead of dark, and was fifteen years younger. Both Bondi and Benedetto had been subjects of Victor Emanuel of Italy and had three children so that court authorities did not find the error until a week ago. NONUNION MINE OPERATION NEAR Owners Indicate Action After Pay Parley Fails. By United Press • TERRE HAUTE, Ind., June 25. Opening of Indiana coal mines on a non-union basis was foreseen with rejection of a proposed new $4 wage scale by delegates to a convention of Listrict 11, U. M. W. A. The two-day meeting of Indiana miners’ delegates ended Friday, after the unfavorable vote on the new scale suggested by operators and approved tentatively by the miners’ scale committee. Harvey Cartwright, commissioner of the Indiana Coal Operators’ Association, had indicated that failure of the miners to accept the scale probably would end efforts of operators to negotiate. “Our alternative will be to operate without the United Miner Workers.” he said. The convention ratified action of President Abe Vales that strip miners continue to work under the old scale of $6.10 a day basic wage. MAN STABBED IN FIGHT Three Filipinos Held for Attack After Rooming House Row.

FIVE INJURED IN TRAFFIC MISHAPS

Man Most Seriously Hurt Is Held on Blind Tiger Charge. Five persons were injured in automobile accidents Friday afternoon and night. William Reid. 63, of 532 Cole street, the most seriously hurt, is held on charges of blind tiger, transporting liquor and reckless driving. His automobile collided in the' 1100 block West Washington street with a truck driven by Lewis Zaring, 4030 West Washington street. Severed An Artery Police said Reid threw a gallon jug of whisky from his car. He suffered severing of an artery in his left arm and cuts on the face. Charles Baker, Morristown, incurred cuts and bruises in an accident which resulted in death of two mules. His automobile struck the mules at a point on road 52 one mile west of the county line. One of the animals was killed outright and one other, with a broken leg, was shot by deputy sheriffs. The animals were owned by Walter Kraft, R. R. 10, Box 158. They strayed from a field to the road with another mule and a horse. Head and chest injuries were incurred by Marion Arvin, 27, of 1143 Reisner street, when his automobile was in collision with the car of a hit-and-run driver at Fall Creek boulevard and Delaware street.

By SEA Service TEMPESTUOUS Mary Garden, for two decades America's most colorful woman, is coming back to America’s front pages and grand opera with booming firecrackers as hpr accompaniment. Mary, the embodiment of independence herself, couldn’t have asked for a more appropriate welcome than the din of Independence day. And the Fourth’s red flares will find her once more in the role of “Carmen,” the seductive and fickle Spanish gypsy girl who is stabbed to the heart by her lover. Jose. The prima donna is coming from Corsica, where she retreated more than a year ago “to write a book and rir’.e a mule,” to return to the grand opera stage in Cleveland, where 20,000 persons each night will hear one of the most unusual opera presentations ever produced. In Cleveland’s huge stadium, the nights of June 29 and July 4, Mary again will sing the role she loves. tt tt tt THE Chicago Civic Opera was the vehicle for Mary’s rise to soprano stardom, which began sensationally at the Opera Comique in Paris in 1900. Scheduled to make her debut in "Carmen,” she was called from the wings one night to sing the lead in the opera “Louise,” when the prima donna was stricken ill. Instantly, her name jumped into the headlines and she gave 205 consecutive performances of "Louise.” Returning to America, after seven years, her first New York appearance furnished the debut of the opera “Thais,” as well as of Mary Garden. When critics razzed her, saying she could not sing like Melba or Srm-< brich, Mary sent them word that “Melba or Sembrich can neither act nor look like Miss Garden!” nun THERE, too, she did “Salome.” Even the critics were astonished at her dance of the veils. But it was in Chicago, her girlhood residence, where she returned in 1910 to become the favorite of opera-goers, that police banned her performance of “Salome.” “She wallowed around like a cat in a bed of catnip,” blurted Chicago's police chief. She became general director of the Chicago opera. Then the resignations flowed in. Lucien Muratore, Lina Cavaliere quit in a huff. Ganna Walska packed off to Europe. “Too much temperament,” they said. In 1922, Mary retired to the ranks of the Chicago company and shortly afterward resigned to go on tour—for $250,000. It was in Cleveland, where she returns, that reviewers as late as 1926 found her “Carmen” a “trifle’ shocking.” n n u BUT it was all good “box office stuff” for Mary. She has been her own press agent since 1910 when she told distraught American women she didn’t believe they should have equal suffrage. She shocked the world of 1922 by swimming in the Mediterranean in a onepiece bathing suit sans shoulder straps.

Beginning that day Cameron will fine every city speeder $1 a mile for every mile he’s charged with exceeding the speed limit. The speed limit is thirty miles an hour in the outlying sectors and twenty miles in the downtown district.
