DEMOCRATS OF MIDWEST UNITE FOR PATRONAGE Illinois Leaders Consult Indianans in Effort to Get Share of Plums. BY BEN STERN FRENCH LICK, Ind., Nov. 14. Groundwork was benig laid here today for a midwest offensive and defensive alliance to perpetuate Democratic administration and to obtain a proportionate share of federal patronage and cabinet posts for party leaders of this section of the country. Working along the same lines which existed when the late Thomas D. Taggart was Indiana Democratic leader and Roger Sullivan and George Brennan bossed Illinois, Mayor Anton J. Cermak of Chicago; Henry Horner, Governorelect, and William E. Dietrich, sen-ator-elect of Illinois, are planning close co-operation with Frederick Van Nuys, senator-elect; Paul V. McNutt, Governor-elect, and Thomas D. Taggart, national committeeman from Indiana. Paraphrasing the statement, “in union there is strength,” the Illinois leaders declare there is strength in a midwest coalition of Democrats, who will be able to enter a national convention with a block of votes which can not be ignored by any presidential aspirant. Other States to Join Present plans call for extending an invitation to join to the leaders of lowa and Wisconsin Democracy, while Urey Woodson, for sixteen years Kentucky national committeemen, is here also, participating in the deliberations, with a view, it is said, to bringing his state into the partnership. The step in this direction was taken at the last Democratic national convention, when Cermak was permitted by the Indiana managers to announce his state’s 58 votes and Indiana’s 30 votes as a block of 88 for Roosevelt. As part of the program advanced, the Illinois leaders are discussing the advisability of advancing Bruce J. Campbell of East St. Louis as a candidate for the post of attorneygeneral and are seeking Indiana’s co-operation in the movement. McNutt on Scene McNutt, accompanied by Pleas Greenlee, his secretary; Frank McHale, his manager; R. Earl Peters, state chairman, and Marshall Williams, state committee secretary, arrived here late Sunday. Upon his arrival, the Governor-elect declared that no patronage would be discussed here, but that the visit was “merely for the purpose of resting from the campaign.” Van Nuys and a score of the other newly elected officials and party leaders are due to arrive today, W'hen discussion will be concentrated upon carrying out campaign pledges. Taggart, confined to his home with a cold, also will participate in the deliberations. First thing on the program is legisaltion to repeal the Wright bone-dry law and carry out the pledges regarding an income tax, old-age pensions, and stringent control of the public utilities. Hope to Rush Action McNutt expressed the hope that It would be possible to carry out all the pledges in less than the sixtyone days allotted for the general assembly and so save money. Already present are H. Nathan Swaim, Marion county chairman; Sheriff Charles Sumner; Michael Fansler, judge-elect of the supreme court; Judge Jack Spencer and John Jennings of Evansville, and Richard Werneke, Terre Haute boss. McNutt and McHale were guests at a duck dinner here Sunday night given by John Stelle of McLeansboro, 111., Democratic manager of that section of the state, and Scott W. Lucas of Havana, 111., defeated candidate for the Democratic senatorial nomination. The Illinois leaders have been here for several days.

ST. LAWRENCE PACT HEARINGS ARE BEGUN Few Senators Expect Waterway Action in Short Session. By Scriypß-Hotcard Sen spaprr Alliance WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.—Hearings on the St. Lawrence treaty opened today before the Borah subcommittee with very few senators believing in the possibility of definite action in the coming short session of congress. It is a Hoover treaty, the negotiation of which hurriedly was completed last July—at the start of the presidential campaign. President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose influence will be the determining factor, has not announced whether he favors ratification. Twice in the course of the campaign, Roosevelt said vaguely that he approved waterway and power development of the St. Lawrence. But in neither instance did he indorse the pending treaty. Senator Robert F. Wagner (Dem., N. Y.), who is a member of Borah’s sub-ccmmittee, and who is regarded as Roosevelt’s spokesman, insists that he has not discussed the treaty with the President-elect. Wagner is one of the large group of senators who do not believe there will be any action in the coming session.

There’s Real Fascination in Hobby of Cat Raising

BY MRS. C. O. ROBINSON Mr Persian tom cat la at rest In scholarly repos*. Awaltinr the most heavenly scent Os salmon to his nose. And while he rests in majesty Upon my best divan. He plainly says. ‘‘l’m quality, Deny It If y6u can.” RAISING cats as a hobby is extremely fascinating, as it is conducive to interesting developements. Women are the leaders in the fancy, for men are interested more often in dogs. This may be because cats have masculine characteristics and dogs femine attributes. Some people say,” I don’t like cats. I like dogs.” That is as reasonable as saying, “I don’t like football games. I like chocolate sodas.” They are not comparable, but, because they are our two most universal household pets, we unconsciously campare them. Quite often a cat is considered inferior in intelligence to a dog, but really it is only a difference in temperment. No animal is attached more devotedly to his home or the companionship of man, but he is aloof and independent by nature and impatient of restraint. The saying, “As jealous as a cat,” has not foundation in fact. His dignity is too great to stoop to a display of jealousy. Cats have been a part of man’s home life since early times, but their origin never has been determined. The Egyptians were especially fond of cats and mummied ones have been found in the tombs of the Pharos. The English people have been for many years breeders of famous cats. There are men in London who make a business of furnishing food for cats. They are called “cat meat men” and peddle their meat from house to house. h n a THE cat “fancy,” as this hobby is called, is increasingly popular in America but is exceeded in England, and serious breeders register their stock both in the United States and abroad. Persian and Angora cats were at one time distinct types, but, through interbreeding, they now are the same and designated as Persian. Breeding and showing are confined almost entirely to this longhaired type. During the World war, many breeders disposed of their stock to participate in war work. I did and of course it had to be just as I had succeeded in breeding a prize-winning red tabby queen. Any cat that breeders retained were the finest stock, so the type is much better than before the war. Some of the old books about the cat fancy are quite amusing and

‘Special Constable’ Quiz by Court Is Demanded

Suit Charges Eviction Despite Chamberlin’s Prohibition Writ. Demand for judicial inquiry into alleged illegal practices of ‘‘special constables,” was made today by James Gibson, city employe, 3145 Boulevard place, who charges Charles W. Freeman, a special constable, removed goods valued* at $3,000 in violation of a court writ. Gibson filed suit in circuit court for SI,OOO damages from Freeman, alleging Freeman ignored a writ of prohibition issued by Judge Harry O. Chamberlin. He asks Chamberlin ‘‘to inquire into practices of special constab’es whose efforts seem to supplement those of duly elected officials.” Contending that he had received no notice of attachment proceedings against him in the court of T. S. Crutcher, Warren township WIDOW OF FORMER POSTMASTER IS DEAD Mrs. Sarah Jameson Wallace, 88, Had Long Been 111. Mrs. Sarah Jameson Wallace, 88, widow of the late William Wallace, former postmaster and attorney, died Saturday in her home, 6 West Michigan street, apartment 32, after a long illness. Her husband was a brother to General Lew Wallace, famous Hoosier soldier and author. Mrs. Wallace, daughter of the Rev. Love Jameson, first pastor of Central Christian church, was born in a house at Georgia and Tennessee streets, near the site of the present Union station. Her husband, a prominent Indianapolis lawyer, was appointed postmaster during the administration of Benjamin Harrison.

show how far it has progressed. One picture a black Persian with four white feet and markings on his head and chest, bred by Mrs. Colburn of Chicago. She told me, in amused reminiscence, that she had been very proud of him and had named him “White Sox” because of his markings and for the Chicago White Sox baseball team. This name was considered too plebeian for registration, so he w’as rechristened “Prince Colburn.” Now he would not be considered worthy of mention at a show, for white markings are taboo. They have been bred out of the finest strains, as have white chins on tabbies. By the way, contrary to general opinion, a tabby is not a female. It is a striped cat, called “Tiger,” in short hairs. n n a THE handsomest cat I ever have seen was King Winter, a silver shown at the Beresford cat show in Chicago at the Hotel Lexipgton. A beautiful painting of King Winter is shown in Carl Van Cechten’s “A Tiger in the House,” a most amusing and entertaining book about cats. Mr. Van Vechten’s description of his own cat as a tortoise shell and white smoke would shock a breeder. Such a combination would be considered a calamity and kept a dark secret, but the evident pride he displayed proves that it is not perfection, but individuality, that makes us love our pets. Though my blue cat, pictured, has a great deal of both, if you please. Cat breeding is interesting because a cat always is the same type, so experimentation must be with colors. Also, there are many queer and unexplained oddities in the fancy. The blue-eyed whites often are deaf. The tortoise-shell almost invariably is a female. For a while it was claimed that there never had been a male tortoise; now the statement is not so emphatic. However, I never have heard of one. The red tabbies almost are always male, and the silver queens have the best eye color. Such idiosyncrasies lend interest to the hobby, in addition to the interest there is the amusement that can be derived from a pet cat. There is nothing more fun than a mother cat in the family, especially if she is an aristocratic Persian. Then her kittens are handsome bits of royalty that delight the eye and fill the pocketbook, for a handsome cat is of as much decorative value to the home as a picture or a lovely vase.

justice of peace, Gibson obtained the temporary writ from Chamberlin. Crutcher overruled a motion to set the attachment judgment aside, and Gibson filed an appeal, explaining that he never received notice of the trial, Nov. 1. The goods were removed from real estate belonging to Mrs. Levcnia Abstone, 2850 Highland place. Gibson rented the property for three years, it is alleged. Seeking return of his property, now in storage, or damages, Gibson also has sued Mrs. Abstone for damages, totaling $4,000. In his appeal to Crutcher, Gibson charged that “certain companies make it a practice to confine their business in evictions to favorably inclined courts.”

DEATH IS SEEN SURE IF GANDHI RENEWS FAST ‘Great Sour Far Too Weak to Survive; Determined to Take Step. BY THEODORE SALIVATI United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1932. bv United Press i POONA, India. Nov. 14.—Mahatma Gandhi probably can not survive another “fast unto death” he is planning to start, unless untouchables are permitted *to enter the temple of Teuruvayur, this correspondent was assured after an interview with the “great soul.” Gandhi is in Yerovda prison because of his opposition to British rule in India. His personal appearance indicates beyond a doubt that his health is precarious. Although he remains outwardly cheerful, he has undergone much suffering since his recent fast. Body Like Skeleton He no longer sits in characteristic erect position. His face has become wrinkled. His body is little more than a skeleton. He is eating regularly, but he has not succeeded in rebuilding his physical self since his fast. As he talked, his muscles quivered. Gandhi said he is directing all his afternoons to study and discussion of the “untouchables” problem. He reserves his mornings for spinning, reading and writing. His food includes goat’s milk, ddtes, bread, honey, tomatoes, oranges and limes. ‘The Answer Is No’ ~ “I expect my friend and associate, Kallappan, to give the Teuruvayur temple trustees sufficient notice of my intentions,” Gandhi said. “But no matter what happens, I have made up my mind to begin another fast. “The legal difficulties mentioned by the trustees opposing the opening of the temple to India’s depressed millions are insufficient. “Morality and public opinion demand an amendment to the British law which attempts to perpetuate untouchability, and which blocks all attempts to reform the system. “If steps are taken to amend existing legislation, I am prepared to postpone my fast for a reasonable length of time. Otherwise, my answer is no.” Taxi Fares Cut in New York NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—Taxi riders in New York City today were cheering the board of taxicab control for slashing rates in the metropolis.

Gives Birth to Two Sets of Twins in Eight Months Old Man Stork is all fagged out. He has weak knees from overwork. And at last reports he was in slumber today and not worrying about whether he kept up Indianapolis’ baby quota or not. And it all comes about because the Old Man broke his record of “toting” babies to and fro and by the time his speedometer had slowed down to keep from petting pinched by a traffic cop he’d brought fo,ur children, two boys and two girls, to Mr. and Mrs. Afton L. Herbst. 3636 Stanton street, within an eight-month period. He “toted” his last set of twins to the Herbst family Saturday night at 8:30 in St. Francis hospital, Beech Grove. He brought his first set, Terrence and Donna, on March 13 and he made sure it was Friday the Thirteenth, too. But he couldn’t quite make it on the Thirteenth of the month on the second set. He missed it just just three and one-half hours. “No one can say that we’re taking the depression seriously,” declares the father of the quartet, who is attorney for the Grain Dealers’ National Insurance Company.

BY RUTH FINNEY Times Staff Writer PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14-Three steps, which the government may take at once to revive business, were suggested to the new administration at the first session of the conference of business men and economists called here by the American Academy of Political and Social Science. They were; Reduction of government payments to war veterans. Immediate settlement of the wai debts. Donation to the Red Cross of the cotton stabilization corporation's 400.000-bale cotton surplus. The suggestions were made by Sumner H. Slichter. professor of business economics at Harvard university. Discussing the effect of the federal deficit upon the condition of business, Slichter concluded that the problem is more a psychological than a mathematical one. Regarding cotton, Slichter pointed
