HOOVER IS QUIZZED Bishop Blake Asks Dry Law Stand Explanation. Issues raised from the dry point of j view on the prohibition stand of President Herbert Hoover are subjects of several questions submitted to him today by Bishop Edgar Blake of the Detroit area of the Methodist Episcopal church, which includes Indiana and Michigan. He is a former bishop of the church's old Indianapolis area. “Certain misgivings have arisen’ in many minds,” the letter states, “as to the wisdom of ypur proposal for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment and the surrender of the control of the traffic in liquor to the several states." Terms used in Hoover speeches on prohibition are referred to in the questions, including “sane solution” and “practical measures." Specific explanation of the terms is asked. In conclusion the bishop wrote: “If the past has anything to teach us, and we are capable of being taught, we have nothing to expect from legalizing the breweries and distilleries, the parents of the saloon with all its vicious influence and power, but the corruption of our politics, the undermining of the state, the debauching of our homes and the eventual destruction of society itself.” BILLY JOLLY VICTOR IN BANJO CONTEST 11-Year-Old Lad Gets 510 Award at Circle Theater.

Strike Salute

Here is the “salute” of the midwest's army of farm strikers, being given by a member of the 'general staff” near Sioux City. The empty pocket has been adopted by leaders of lowa’s contingent as their countersign in their "holiday” for higher prices for farm products.

OPEN BANDITS DRIVE . Scotland Yard Out Is to Crush Holdup Men. fin I nilnl I'rrss LONDON, Sept. I.—Moving with military precision, Scotland Yard today began the biggest police campaign on record to crush the modern outlaw counterparts of England's most notorious highway robber, Dick Turpin. Designed to end an alarming wave of road holdups which were believed to have been increased by arrival of gangster deportees from the United States, the police flying squads closed all approaches to London, stopped and inspected thousands of automobiles and placed a wide area under rigid supervision. In contrast to the blunderbuss! and steed of the original Dick Turpin, who terrorized the highways 200 years ago, the modern bandits have fast automobiles and many automatic pistols. The British police are not armed, but there have been many demands by the public lately that they be provided with pistols. Trance Gospel Sermons by Farmer While Rigid, Flat on Back Astound Pastors. H’i United I’res* MONROE. La., Sept. I.—The strange "trances” of Charlie Richardson, farmer, have begun to astound the city's most prominent pastors. When Richardson is seized with the attacks, he lies flat on his bark, his body rigid, while with eyes staring heavenward, he begins to preach. Crowds quickly gather, and stand in hushed and respectful silence. The sermons are delivered in perfect diction. His quotations are numerous and perfectly correct, in minutest detail, according to pastors who have heard him. These attacks occur sometimes as often as twice a day. Again they do not occur for months at a time. Whenever they appear. Richardson drops to the sidewalk, or corn field, wherever he is, and preaches for an hour or more, his body rigid all the time. He seems to talk as one "from another sphere.” townsfolk agree. When the “spell” is broken, he seems completely exhausted and has little knowledge of what he has said. Physicians have been able to do little to alleviate his trouble. No Postmarks From Rapidan S.i/ liiilrd Pr* it* WASHINGTON. Sept. I.—Guests at President Hoover’s Rapidan camp who write letters just for the camp's mail box might as well enjoy the scenery. A marine truck takes the Rapidan mail to Washington, where it receives a regular Washington postmark. Gone, but Not Forgotten Automobile* reported to police as stolen , belong to: I \V. H Middleton. 981 North Meridian street. Chevrolet sedan. 52-873. from in I front of home Edward White. 1409 North Drexel avenue.

G. 0, P. GRIEF GROWS IN FALL OF SHORTRIDGE California Primary Causes Democrats to Class State as Doubtful. BY MAX STERN WASHINGTON, S”pt. I.—Returns from California's Tuesday primaries are worrying Republican stalwarts here, and encouraging the Democrats to place the Hoover state in the doubtful column. Defeat of Senator Samuel M. Shortridge. one of the Hoover faithful. was brought about by a split field of two southern California

drys, and an avalanchp of wet votes in the north. Yet it is considered an omen in that Shortridge, administration senator of twelve y —s’ service, should ' -"e run far behind the winner, ate Senator Tallant Tubbs, a comparative unknown, v.'hose chief plank was

repeal. The next test of Republican conservatism will be in Washington state, where Senator Wesley (“Five-and-Ten Law) Jones come up for renomination as a dry on Sept. 13. | Other regulars on the anxious bench are Senators Smoot in Utah. Steiwer in Oregon. Oddie in Nevada. Shortrldge’s defeat is believed due! to hi.s ndecision. Formerly indorsed by the Anti-Saloon League, he switched in the midst of the last session to resubmission and modification. He stood firmly on thel party's prohibition plank. Irate, the Anti-Saloon League indorsed Representative Joseph Crail in his stead. The wet Republicans, instead of voting for him, flocked to Tubbs. Thus, he fell in between the two factions he tried to placate. Although he spoke ardently for the Hoover policies he switched to oppose the world court. He voted both for and against the bonus. Badly divided, also, were the California Democrats. Wet and A1 Smith factions supported Justus Wardell. The drys backed William Gibbs McAdoo, who, with his large southern California dry following, beat Wardell by 2 to 1. Sue for Estate Accounting Heirs of Christian Wishmier filed suit in superior court two Wednes- 1 day asking an accounting from Schuyler A. Haas, local attorney, for funds dprived from the Mt. Jackson sanitarium, a part of the estate. The suit alleges Haas owes the heirs approximately $5,000. He was removed as trustee several months ago.
