GLAND‘DOC’IS KANSAS PERIL TO ROOSEVELT Extremists May Be So Busy Voting for Brinkley They Will Forget All Others. RUNS AS INDEPENDENT State Famous for Neglect of Rest of Ballot in One-Man Frenzy. BY RAY TUCKER Tlm* Staff Writer TOPEKA. Sept. 19.—A healer, who claims he can remake the men and climate of Kansas, may keep this slate from landing in the Democratic column in the presidential election. ife is Dr. J. R. Brindley, the famous "goat gland specialist,” whose radio talks from his hospital oh the plains involved him in trouble with the radio commission, but amused and attracted his fellowcitizens. They showed their feelings when 186.000 wrote his name in on the

pub ernajtorial ballot in 1930. Running for Governor again ns an independent, he may draw the support of distressed extremists that, otherwise would be registered by a cross at the head of the D e m o c r a tic column. Kansas is notorious for ticket splitting, and for neglecting whole sections of the ballot. So the Democrats fear the people will forget to vote for anybody

Brinkley

else but Brinkley. Normally Republican by several hundred thousand. Kansas is claimed for Hoover by the party this year. His standing has improved since his acceptance speech. Higher farm prices also would help. The state still is dry, and prefers the Republican prohibition plank. Two wet candidates in each party's primary did not get enough votes to wad a shotgun. The state went for Hoover by 320.000 in 1928. Curtis Not So Popular But it has shown signs of rebellion. In 1930. it elected Governor Woodring <Dcm., by 251 votes over Ben S. Paulen. its ablest Republican handshaker and joiner, and sent another Democrat, George McGill, to the senate. Kansas long has been a bellwether state in movements for a change, including granger, populist, greenback and prohibition crusades. Vice-President Charles Curtis' favorite-son status is a seeming Republican asset, but a visit here dissipates the idea that he can hold the state for Hoover. They point out here that he has grown away from the state. Although the good men and women here rallied to him during the social feud between Sister Dolly and Alice Longworth. the memory of their friends contesting for Washington social supremacy is a bit bizarre to Kansans. Doc Is Dazzling Showman “Charlie" is not especially popular now back home, as his decision to run for vice-presidential re-election instead of his old senate seat indicated. Brinkley even may supplant Charlie as the state's favorite, in its present mood. The “Doc" is a dazzling showman. He does not talk down to his audiencees. He sports a big diamond in his shirt-front, travels by plane and six-teen-eylinder limousine, and turnkeys are burdened down by his gold mounted baggage. When he opens up with "Dr. Brinkley speaking, ladies and gentlemen," either at his hospital or on tour, he gives the impression that he is doing his hearers an honor —and they like it. His troupe consists of fiddlers, crooners and other vaudeville performers. Every meeting starts with prayer, and the revival atmosphere is given throughout. He dresses daintily, keeps his goatee well trimmed and denounces baleful influences of modern society. Crowds Would Delight Barnum He calls his troupe “ammunition train No. 1.” He promises, if elected, to provide free text books, free medical attention, and a lake in every county. By studding the countryside with lakes, he maintains he will bless Kansas with the climate of Colorado. Despite all these capital improvements. he insists that he has the only program for tax reduction. He is drawing crowds that would delight Barnum. If numbers mean votes, he will be the next Governor. His opponents are Governor Woodring 'tmd Alf Landon. regular Republican. Woodring has given a good administration. but he does not match Brinkley's promises. Landon is a quiet good-natured oil man with ability in harmonizing business or political factions. In the senatorial race it is expected ex-Governor Paulen will defeat Senator McGill. Paulen is a lodge joiner, knows every grip and how to use it. McGill's chance lies in a Roosevelt sweep.

BULLET IN BRAIN, VICTIM TESTIFIES IN BLACKBURN CASE Hobbles to Witness Stand on Cane to Accuse Former Purdue Student of Roadside Holdup Shooting. With his right side paralyzed as a result of a bullet fired Jan. 28. which still is imbedded in his brain, Joseph R.

From the witness stand, to which he hobbled with a cane, Gardner related that when he left Lafayette in his automobile Jan. 28. he was accosted by a hitch-hiker carrying a Gladstone bag which bore a Purdue pennant. After entering the car. the hitchhiker volunteered the information that he lived at ‘‘Forty-second street and Park avenue,” but mentioned no city. Drew a Revolver On reaching Thirty-eighth and Illinois streets, Gardner says his companion drew a revovler commanding him. “Drive north, keep still and do as I tell you.” On the Dean road near its intersection with Keystone avenue, in the northern part of the county, Gardner says he obeyed a command to bend down in the car so he could be searched, and says he was shot three times in the head.

Roosevelt’s Rail Plan ‘Cribbed’ From Hoover, Says G. O. P.; Praise by Democrats

By United Pres* Republicans jeered at Franklin Roosevelt's railroad policy speech today and charged that his sixpoint plan was “cribbed” from President Hoover's “own program,” while Democrats cheered the campaign message and railroaders were cautiously “encouraged.” “Every item of the Governor's proposal is -cribbed' from the interstate commerce commission's program which the President favored.” Senator James E. Watson said in a statement issued by Republican campaign headquarters. The President. Watson said, repeated these recommendations §s late as the last session of congress and included the entire program of the I. C. C but the Democratic house took no action.” Senator Daniel O. Hastings <Del.t repeated the charge. “What a man!” Hastings exclaimed. “The security owners satisfied. the public satisfied to pay the freight, the employe satisfied with his compensation. He takes in the whole crowd with one fell swoop—and in one paragraph.” Representative Bertram Snell, Repablican leader of the house, said

Approximately 60,000 members of the Indiana State Federation of Labor ana affiliated groups were on record today as indorsing the candidacy of Frederick Van Nuys, Democratic nominee for United States senator. Thomas N. Taylor, president of the state federation, today said that enthusiasm rocked the convention of the union group at Ft. Wayne Friday when the Van Nuys indorsement was adopted. Speeches approving the resolution were made by Taylor. Adolph Fritz, state secretary, and other delegates who cited Van Nuys’ record as a chamipon of organized labor w'hile a member of the state senate. The resolution was presented to the convention by the delegates from the International Association of Machinists and was adopted by a 3 to 1 vote. The resolution further declares that in Van Nuys "the men and women w ? ho work have an honest and sincere friend, a man w r ho can be trusted to champion and defend their cause in the highest legislative body of the nation.” ROBOT TURNS ON HIS MAKER, SHOOTS HIM Man of Steel Fires Pistol Before Inventor Can Give Command. Bp I nit id Press BRIGHTON, England, Sept. 19. Alpha, the mechanical man, has turned on his inventor in' the manner of a Frankenstein monster. Harry May. w r ho built the huge man of steel, was demonstrating Alpha's powers before a Brighton audience, and was showing how the robot is able to fire a revolver. Before May could give the command, Alpha turned suddenly, pointed the gun at the inventor and fired. The bullet passed through May's right hand. “I always had a feeling Alpha would turn on me some day,” May said, “but this is the first time he ever disobeyed my commands. I don’t know why he fired before I gave the signal.” BANDIT EXONERATED Louisiana Plea for Watson Custody Honored. Louisiana extradition papers for Hunter B. Watson, alleged bandit and escaped convict, were honored today by Governor Harry G. Leslie. Watson was nabbed last week by city police. While the hearing w ; as being held in the Governor's office at the statehouse this morning, Watson remained in the Marion county jail. Two habeas corpus writ actions have failed to bring his release. These actions were cited by his attorney T. Earnest Maholm in fighting the extradition. He said Watson should be tried first in Indiana for being an ex-convict and carrying a gun. All parties present were agreed that Watson is an ex-convict. Twice sentenced in Texas for bank robbery, he escaped from two penitentiaries. Given fourteen to thirty-five years for the $5,200 Jena (La.) bank robbery Dec, 19, he also escaped i from the Louisiana penitentiary.

“the first constructive suggestion that Roosevelt has made during the entire campaign is lifted bodily i from the President’s message to con-; gress as late as last December.” William N. Doak. secretary of la- ! bor. elaborated on this charge by i Snell, and criticised Roosevelt's at- j tack on the administration policies. Democratic campaign headquarters offered statements attributed to - its leaders in defense of the Roose- I veil speech. Congressman Sam Ray-' burn, Texas, author of several bills embodying ideas urged by Roose- 1 velt. said: “The speech was a bald, fearless and statesmanlike utterance . , . ! that should appeal to every citizen, who has made a study of tarnsportation, whether he be an officer, stockholder, or an employe of the railroads.” Other statements echoed these sentiments. They came from Congressman John Mac Duffle (Ala.); | Daniel J Tobin, chairman of the labor division of the national committee. and from J. J. McEntee of the International Association of Machinists. The speech was “very constructive.” J. J. Pelley. president of the New York, New Haven Hartford railroad, said. “It should hearten

TROOPS GUARD ILLINOIS CITY IN MINE ROW Taylorville Quiet, After Two Bombings Cause Call for Troops. / FEAR NEW OUTBREAKS Newspaper Favoring $5 Wage Scale Is Blasted; Street Fighting Was Rife. By United Press TAYLORVILLE, 111., Sept. 19. National guardsmen patrolled streets here today as tension ran high after bombs were thrown here in the bitter Illinois coal labor dispute. % Two companies of militia, ordered to the scene at the urgent request of authorities, arrived shortly before daybreak. Officers disposed the troops about the city ready for any eventuality. The troopers converged on a miners' mass meeting during the morning at the requpest of Sheriff [ Charles Woenecxe. who had petitioned aid of guardsmen. The troopers had little trouble dispersing the strikers. The state's soldiers prevented assemblies of even two persons in the streets. The city was quiet at an early hour. Special deputies sworn in oy local and county peace officers aided the guardsmen in their patrol. Terroristic Conditions Bared The national guard companies i were ordered here by Governor Louis L. Emmerson after a com- ! mittee of militiamen sent to investigate conditions reported to him that it was doubtful If order couid be preserved without their aid. Local officials said they feared new bomb outbreaks unless protection was furnished. The offices of the Taylorville Breeze, local newspaper, and the local headquarters of the United Mine Workers of America were partially wrecked in explosions I early Sunday. Feeling has run high here for weeks over the mines controversy which has resulted in frequent outbreaks recently in the Illinois coal fields. Street fighting, sluggings and ter- 1 roristic activity has been rife, city officers said.

Editorials Arouse Bitterness Local miners are divided in two camps, one desiring to work on a $5 daily wage scale, the other favoring a strike for the old rate of $6.10. Bitterness was increased by a recent series of articles by C. F. Jewell, editor, in the Taylorville Breeze discussing conditions in the southern coal fields where, Jewell reported. miners were working and appeared satisfied by the $5 wage scale. In an extra published after the bomb attack on his newspaper, Jewell called for mobilization of troops here. "Troops must come to Taylorville; the business life must carry on,” he said editorially. Taylorville, in the center of the rifih Christian county coal fields, has been the focal point of the central Illinois mines dispute.

These policies carried out will enable the railroads to store their credit.” “It was very well considered.” Leonard F. Loree, president of the Delaware & Hudson, said. “There were some controversial points, but I don’t think they were very important.” The Democratic York Times referred to the disappointment of those who expected to see in the Roosevelt “another Bryan.” and said the “only persons who could complain of his specific program are speculators and stock waterers. His own plan is sound, definite and constructive.” Roosevelt's six-pobnd program in brief called for: Government financial aid for a certain period, based on a long viewplan for enabling the railroads to repay the loans.

MILK DUMPED INTO RIVER AT INDIANA LINE Picket Slugged With Tire Pump in Price War at Vincennes. LESLIE ‘TO INVESTIGATE’ General Strike Is Ordered by National Holiday Group in lowa, By United Press VINCENNES, Ind.. Sept. 19.—A milk price war broke out here today, with members of the Knox County Milk Producers’ Association picketing the new Memorial bridge across the Wabash river. Picketers said the lines would be maintained “until a higher price is paid by local creameries.” They promised that all roads leading into Vincennes would be picketed Tuesday. Two Illinois farmers were stopped on the bridge as they were en route to Vincennes. Picketers forced them to dump their milk, A third farmer broke through the picket lines, but was intercepted on the Vincennes side of the bridge. Pickets pursued him through the business section of the city, captured him and after returning him to the river, forced him to empty his milk. During .a fist fight that broke out, one picket was injured slightly when struck by a tire pump. Picket said milk producers were being paid l‘i cents a quart,for their milk and declared that "picketing will continue until we get a higher price.” Leslie ‘to Investigate’ Governor Harry G. Leslie when informed today of picketing at Vincennes by milk producers, said he would “let local officials haAdle it.” The Governor said, however, that he would “look into the matter.” Order General Strike Bp United Press SIOUX CITY. la., Sept. 19.—A general strike order was issued to midwest farmers today by the National Farmers’ Holiday Association. recommending that, effective Wednesday, all nonperishable farm produce be withheld from market and that highway blockade be lifted. In an appeal directed to all agricultural producers of the middlewest, the Holiday Association directors urged that farmers sell no more grain and livestock until prices reach the production cost level. The association suggested that the embargo on dairy products, poultry and perishable produce be lifted for thirty days to be reinstated at the end of that time if the general strike has not succeeded in its objective. The suggestion was made that picketing of highways be discontinued except for maintenance of observers, who would report on violators of the strike order. Indications were that pickets would follow the suggestion of the holiday association. The blockade here was lifted.

the French reply to the Reich's equality demand. Britain considers the demand unwise in view of Germany's economic difficulties; untimely in view of financial concessions recently granted Germany; and holds that even if a disaramament convention is not concluded by the world conference at Geneva, Germany will not be entitled to abrogate ;he restrictions placed on her by _the Versailles treaty, the statement said. The statement declared that the peace treaty did not mean that the general limitation of armaments must be fulfilled “precisely in the same manner in which Germany's armaments are limited.” Part V of the treaty, Britain -maintains, “can only cease to be binding by agreement.” The government admitted that the limitations imposed on Germany were intended to be “the precursor of general limitations by others.” Large reductions made by Britain were noted, as well as British collaboration toward further general disarmament at Geneva, “where due allowance must be made for the needs and feelings of all sixty-four states concerned.” The blunt attitude of the government was attributed to anew development since the French answered the German demand, namely the official announcement that Germany would not participate in the Tuesday meeting of the bureau of the disarmament conference.

Seat Jury to Try Davis on Lottery Count

Senator James J. Davis

Senator Faces U. S. Court for Fight to Uphold Moose Actions. BY SANDOR S. KLEIN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Twelve men were selected in federal court today to pass on lottery charges against Senator James J. Davis (Rep., Pa.), who rose from Welsh immigrant boy and day laborer to the cabinets of three Presidents. Davis is on trial charged with violating federal statutes prohibit ing material pertaining to lotteries from the mails and interstate commerce. Walter W. Vincent, operator of a theater circuit in Pennsylvania, was excused because he once had attended a banquet at which Davis was toastmaster. Two alternates were chosen to serve should any juror become incapacitated. Davis is a candidate for re-elec-tion to the senate in November. His lawyers, in pleading for an early, trial, said he could not face his constituents with indictments over his head. Meanwhile, in another courtroom before Federal Judge T. Blake Kennedy of Wyoming, Conrad Mann, Kansas City, and Frank E. Hering, South Bend, Ind., both prominent officers of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, pleaded not guilty to superseding indictments charging violation of the lottery laws.

15-CENT STATE LEVY UPHELD Tax Provision Supported by Attorney-General Ogden. The 15-cent state tax levy included in the *1.50 tax limitation law passed by the special session of the general assembly, was upheld today by Attorney-General James M. Ogden. “The legislature passed the law and when members wrote the provisions to limit the state levy to 15 cents, they evidently meant just that,” Ogden said. Request for Ogden's opinion was made by the state tax board when it became apparent that fixed charges, such as common school levies and memorial funds, would require 8.1 cents of the state levy. Apptoximately 2.5 cents of the levy is necessary for the teachers’ retirement fund, it also was pointed out. After handling these charges, less than 5 cents would remain to meet the required budget of $20,000,000. the board stated. Under a reduced valuation of sl,000.000,000 in the state, the minimum levy should be not less than 17 cents, the tax board declared. Ogden's ruling is interpreted by state officials as indicating that additional funds for operation of state government will not be available until action is taken at 1933 session of the legislature. TOTAL ENROLLMENT IN SCHOOLS 55,672 Figure Is 228 Less Than at Same Date in 1931. Stetson Reveals. Total enrollment in Indianapolis schools, elementary and high, was 55.672 on Friday, close of the second week of the present term, it was announced today by Paul C. Stetson, superintendent. This is 228 less than for Sept. 16, 1931. Elementary school enrollment oi 41.366 is 871 less than for the same date last year. This, in part, is accounted for by absence of children who lack suitable clothing. Such cases are being checked by the school social service department, and the children will be clothed as rapidly as possible, to permit them to begin their studies. High school enrollment Friday was 14.306, a gain of 643.
