5-FOOT M'KEE TAMES ‘TIGER’ IN QUICK TIME New York's Mayor Twists Tammany’s Tail With Quiet Bravado. By United Press NEW YORK. Sept. B.—A 5-foot Scot who once taught Latin and Greek has a chance today to twist the tail of a Tammany Tiger that has terrified many a politician and supposedly put him "on at the Democratic national convention. Indications that Mayor Joseph Vincent (Holy Joei McKee, successor to James J. Walker, will force Tammany Hall to come to terms on his candidacy for the mayor's office—and other things, particularly the presidential campaign—continued to pile up today. It was reported at Chicago that Tammany Hall "strategy,” dictated by Boss John J. Curry, called for a poll of the New York delegation so that McKee would be forced to announce publicity that his choice for the presidency was not Alfred E. Smith, but Franklin D. Roosevelt. Got Office Any Way Such a vote on the record, it was expected, would •‘kill” McKee with the mass of New York's voters as a candidate against Jimmy Walker should he decide to seek the nomination for mayor. McKee, however. got the office through Walker’s resignation, resulting. Walker said, from Roosevelt's “unfairness" in hearing removal charges and inspired, according to Tammany hall, by Republican efforts to split the party in New York to beat Roosevelt for the pres idency. The diminutive McKee, professing “no interests in politics,” has stormed Tammany hall, slashing salaries, expenses, precendent, luxuries, frills in government and receptions for channel swimmers. At the same time, McKee, protecting the $2,000 city employes, and there are 140,000 of them. Today these "unimportant” employes are McKee campaigners. Inspires Money Confidence H.e has inspired confidence among r.liancl* s whp gave him a $17,000,000 loan at an interest saving of SBO,OOO almost off - hand. The pity’s long-term securities advanced as much as 4 points. The press, critical of Walker, also cheered McKee. McKee, in a position where he may turn out Tammany henchmen, or possibly expose a few Tammany city departments to the light of unwelcome publicity, certainly will be a candidate, one more move today indicated. His party bass, Edward J. Flynn, secretary of state, canceled plans to go west with Franklin Roosevelt so he might stay here, and presumably assist McKee and Roosevelt. SETTLEMENT IS NEAR IN SCHOOL DISPUTE Court Delays Final Hearing on University Heights Annexation Row. Indianapolis school officials and Omer Green, Perry township trustee, neared a settlement today in a fight over annexation of the township’s University Heights school. Superior Judge Joseph R. liams announced he has postponed final hearing on a suit, filed by Perry township school officials to prevent completion of the transfer of the school property to the local school board. Township residents protested last January when the city council annexed the land upon which the school stands. The annexation measure was obtained by a large number of University Heights residents, headed by L. O. Hannan. Approximately 160 University Heights’ children, who are city residents, attend the school. PINCHOT DIVORCE LOOMS Nephew of Pennsylvania Governor Establishes Residence in Reno.

FREES INJURED CITY MOTORIST Fear of Serious Hurts Leads to Prisoner’s Release. Fearing that a traffic violation prisoner might be injured more seriously than an examination at city hospital indicated, Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer released D. J. Bellinger, 249 North Pennsylvania street, on his own recognizance today, so Bellinger might obtain treatment. Bellinger was arrested Wednesday night in an automobile crash at Twenty-third street and Arlington avenue in which two other persons were injured, one seriously. Told by witnesses Bellinger was driving at a high rate of speed and that his auto was zigzagging from one side of the street to the other, deputy sheriffs took him to the hospital where the diagnosis was cuts and bruises. However, after several hours in the police lockup on charges of reckless driving, operating an auto under the influence of liquor and drunkenness, officers said Bellinger showed signs of a possible skull fracture. He was taken before Sheaffer, who released him. QUARREL OVER WELL GETS MAN FARM TERM 90-Day Sentence Imposed for Assault; Families at Odds.

His son Harry was the man given the farm term with a fine of $1 when convicted of assault and battery by Paul Rochford, judge pro tern. James Murray, Cloverdale, a guest at the Murray home, who faced a concealed weapon charge, was ordered to leave the city. The case of Charles Van Buskirk and his wife Anna, also charged with assault and battery, was taken under advisement until Oct. 24. Joseph Smith, 1438 Oliver avenue, complaining witness, said Mrs. Van Buskirk attached him with a rolling pin when he went to her home to obtain water Wednesday right.

G. 0. P. RALLY SADLY LACKING IN ENTHUSIASM 1,500 Hear Springer Laud Party Record, Voice Feeble Applause. BY BEN STERN FT. WAYNE, Ind., Sept. B—The Republican campaign in Indiana is under way today, with all the effects of “whistling through a graveyard.” Although ballyhooed for a month over the state, fewer than 1,500 people, including candidates, their relatives, and the press, attended the campaign jump-off here Wednesday night. Appalled by the lack of interest and enthusiasm evidenced when the applause was confined to those on the stage and in the first two rows, where were seated the job holders, party managers today mournfully shook their heads and wondered what sort of a report Everett Sanders, national committee chairman, would return to the White House. Even the outstanding party leaders of the state, Senators James E. Watson and Arthur R. Robinson, Governor Harry G. Leslie, George O. Ball and Miss Dorothy Cunningham, the national committee members; Mrs. Beryl Holland, state vicechairman, and most of the district leaders, were not present. Springer Main Speaker Principal address was delivered by Raymond S. Springer of Connersville, the Governor candidate. He devoted twelve typewritten pages to apologizing and praising the Hoover administration, in the same breath. High points were his pledges, in the section devoted to state issues, for a referendum on prohibition, thus taking the middle ground between the antagonistic state and national platform, pledges. "The right of municipalities to equitably and more easily to acquire, own, and operate public utility plants should be provided for by law,” Springer declared. He promised rigid supervision of securities offered by holding companies and rates and charges made by such corporations. Record Is Praised Springer pledged a fair trial for the $1.50 maximum tax law and also for economy. He demanded speedy liquidation of closed banks and praised the record of the present state administration. The speech was punctuated by applause from the candidates on the stage. Sanders scoffed at Democratic predictions of success and pointed to what had happened after similar predictions in the three previous campaigns. "The people of this country are appraising, at true value, the herculean tasks performed by Herbert Hoover and will re-elect him,” Sanders declared, to wild cheers from those on the stage, who acted as cheer leaders to an undemonstrative audience. Suit Stolen by Burglar Alton Guyton, 748 Hadley street, reported to police a burglar entered his home some time Wednesday night and stole a suit of clothes valued at sl4.

KIWANIS PARLEY TO HEAR PLAN ON JOBLESS AID State Meeting to Be Asked for Expansion of Policy to Cover Problem. By United Press FRENCH LICK. Ind.. Sept. 8. Expansion of the administration policy to include co-cperation with communities in providing emergency relief for unemployed will be proposed by Luther M. Feeger, Richmond, district governor, at the fifteenth annual convention of the Indiana district Kiwanis Clubs’ opening here today. In his annual report, Feeger says, "The necessity for caring for an increasing number of unemployed with decreased public and charity funds demands the best efforts of leaders in all communities if each community meets the responsibility of caring for its own citizens. ’ More than 600 Indiana Kiwanians were expected here.
