'WHITEWASHING' HINTED DUE ON MISSING LIQUOR Promised Report on Federal Building Mystery May Never Come. Promised report, on investigation of disappearance of 1,200 pints of bonded whisky from the federal building more than a year ago is to be delayed until after the elec- j tion, It became apparent today. Statement of high prohibition, department officials A 1:3. 25. that a j “new investigation" would be completed in two weeks has not materialized, although the “two weeks" has been stretched to more than two months. Etom sources close to the administration, it is reported that efforts to “hush up” the matter are being continued, and that if public protest grows too strong, the whole affair j will be given a complete "whitewashing,” but not until after the election. Affidavit Sought, Is Hint It is reported that the third group of'investiagtors assigned to the case h *v p been attempting to obtain affidavits that po accurate check was made of the freight car load of bonded whisky seized at Evansville March 4, 1931, while it was en route; to Chicago from Ansley, Miss. Investigators are reported pre- 1 pared to prove that the liquor was checked either at the car and not at the liquor storeroom, or at the storeroom and not at the car, and, inLeither case, that only a casual check was made, the record keeper merely accepting the count of other agents and police. The disappearance was learned when the liquor turned over to Alf O. Meloy, United States marshal, for destruction under a court order failed to tally with records of the 1,182 sacks of whisky checked as it wss removed from the freight car a ild. again as it was placed in the federal building liquor storeroo*k Revelation of the disappearance was followed shortly by unexplained demotion of Charles W. Britt, then deputy prohibition administrator, to an obscure post as special agent at New Orleans, a post j he still holds. Reports were made to original investigators assigned to the case that whisky of the same brand. “Old Log Cabin,” was the principal item of refreshments at many drinking parties attended by high local Republican officials at a north side apartment of a prohibition official. , Marriage Licenses Haul man. and Ann Louise Church, 39. of 947 North Pennsylvania street, dressmaker William A.

Church Choir to Sing ‘The Pirates of Penzance’

J . 4 - ' - Jill

Fred Koehrn Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta to Be Given Here. Next Wednesday evening, the Roberts Park M. E. choir will offer to the public “The Pirates of Penzance,” a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta which has not been heard in Indianapolis for several years. “The Pirates of Penzance” is one of the most popular of those operettas which were so often heard a decade or more agio. The production is under the direction of Mrs. Jane Johnson Burroughs. The cast and chorus of forty are all members of the choir. They will be supported by an orchestra composed of students from Indiana Central college. The story of the operetta is peculiarly appropriate to this year, as it concerns the leading man. Mr. Delmer Huppert, attaining his twentyfirst birthday. As he was born on Feb. 29, the pirate band to which he has been apprenticed contends he has had •only five birthdays, even though 21 years of age, and they refuse to release him. The difficulties that ensue add zest and humor to the story. The operetta is noted for its clever tunes. The modern version of “Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here” is an adaptation of one of the outstanding melodies. It has always rivaled in popularity the famous “Pinafore,” by the same composers. The operetta will be given at Caleb Mills Hall, Shortridge high school, Nov. 9, at 8:15 and will be open to the public for a small fee. Among the principal singers are Fred Koehrn, Beulah E. Bailey and Frances E. Wallace. Baby Burned Against Stove Helen Young. 15 months old, suffered slight burns on the face Thursday when she fell against a stove at her home, 1806 West Michigan street.

GOVERNORS TO BE SELECTED IN 34 STATES Many Votes Put Races on Par With Presidency in Interest. by fScrlpp*-lf ©word Xeirtpaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—ln thir-ty-four states next Tuesday Governors w'ill be elected, and, in ten or more, interest of voters in gubernatorial contests probably is as great as it is in the presidential contest. The chief of these ten are New York, Texas, Tennessee and Illinois. In New York, Lieutenant Governor H. H. Lehman, backed by Tammany, A1 Smith and Governor Roosevelt, is running against “Wild Bill” Donovan, who has had the help of President Hoover and Calvin Coolidge. Texas is in the midst of another row over “Fergusonism,” and it must choose between Ji mand “Ma" Ferguson and their Republican opponent, Orville Bullington. Democrats have a chance to get “two Governors for the price of one” if they elect Mrs. Ferguson, for Husband Jim will be there to help her. Ross Sterling Bolts But the present Governor, Ross Sterling, a Democrat, has bolted to Bullington. In Tennessee, the regular Democratic nominee, Hill McAlister is backed by the Ed Crump machine in Memphis, and his opponents are John McCall, Republican, and Lewis Pope, who contends he is the rightful Democratic nominee, and the anti-machine candidate. Illinois’ battle revolves about the Republican ex-Governor, Len Small, who is opposed by Democratic Henry Horner. If the gubernatorial races this year turn out as did the thirty-three in 1928, the party that carries the state for President will carry the state for Governor in most instances. This occurred in twentytwo of the thirty-three races four years ago. Maine Is Democratic In the Democratic landslide two years ago, fourteen states that went Republican in 1928 elected Democratic governors. Maine, Hoover state in 1928, just has elected a Democratic Governor. The governorships of the thirtyfour states holding gubernatorial elections next Tuesday now are held by eighteen Democrats, fifteen Republicans and one Farmer-Laborite. The races this year are in the following states, involving the following candidates: Arizona—J. C. Kinney (Rep.), Dr. B. B. Mouer (Dem.). Arkansas—J. O. Livesay (Rep.), J. M. Futrell (Detn.). Colorado—J. D. Pariott (Rep.). E. C. Johnson iDem.). Connecticut—Ex-Gov. John Trumbull (Rep.(. Gov. W L. Cross (Dem.). Delaware—Gov. G. D. Buck (Rep.). L. L. Layton (Dem.l. Florida —W. J.

Come and let's swap.”

JOBLESS MARCH TO CITYCOURT Delay Hearing on Negro in Eviction Case. Claiming arrest of a Negro in a recent eviction disorder constitutes a parallel to the case of Theodore Luesse. unemployed leader serving a term at the Indiana state farm for interfering with an eviction, about 150 unemployed congregated in municipal court today for trial of the Negro. Bearing banners celebrating “fifteenth year of the rule of the Russian working class over one-sixth of the world," the delegation marched to the police station after congregating in front of the courthouse. The Negro, Wilbur Wilson, 8 Poplar street, was arrested two months ago on charges of disorderly conduct and inciting to riot, after he is alleged to have interfered with an eviction attempt near his home. On motion of deputy prosecutors, the charge of disorderly conduct was dismissed by William McMaster, special judge. Hearing on the charge of inciting to riot was delayed until Nov. 21.
