BEER BOON TO CAFES, HOTELS ALL OVER U. S. People Eating More Than They Have in Months, Is Report. B ■! I nth rl /'rr* NEW YORK, April 10. _ The restaurant and hotel business has increased as much as ten-fold in some cities and has doubled in most large centers since April 7 when beer was legalized, reports to the United Press today showed. While much of the increase undoubtedly was represented entirely by sale of beer, hotel men in several instances reported increased room reservations, and restaurant and dining room managers found that people were eating more than they have for months. Secretary Maurice C. Cohn of the Chicago Waiters’ Union reported that all of his union's 1.500 members were employed over the week-end, for the first time in many months. Milwaukee, one of the nation's most famous beer centers, reported more salesmen are on the road; that its hotels have more reservations booked now s than for many months. The city's stimulated business is further evidenced by the employment of 5,400 men in the breweries against 1.500 a year ago; and by the publication by the Milwaukee Journal and the Wisconsin News of the largest amounts of advertising they have carried since 1931. 9 Out of 10 Huy Beer Reports from representative cities were: Palmer House sold more food on Friday than on any day in its history. Nine out of ten customers bought beer. At Berghoff's German restaurant people still were standing in line today to get in. It ran out of steins and customers bid for turns at available glasses. Ernest Byfield, manager of the Sherman's hotel, said that not only was there a vast increase in volume ot trade, but each customer was eating more. Madison. Wis. —William McNeil, veteran Wisconsin hotel manager, said the Park hotel taproom did more business Friday and Saturday than ever was done in a similar period by all bars of the five hotels under his management. Boston Hotel and restaurant business approximately doubled. One high-class restaurant reported a 500 per cent increase. Food Sales Doubled Denver Restaurants reported that their food sales had doubled and in some instances trebled, with Dutch lunch type of meal in greatest demand. The old Quincy bar reported a five-fold increase. Kansas City—Restaurant and hotel men proceeded warily, fearing the label of “beer joint" might be placed on their establishments. Little effort was made to press the sale of beer. San Francisco—Hotels and restaurants did a week-end business surpassing all expectations. The famous Hos Brau w-as forced to call police on Saturday to handle its crowds. Hotel and restaurant managers estimated their business was from four to ten times normal and double the usual New Year’s eve business. New York—Leading hotels made little effort to feature beer, but reported their dining rooms busy with increased room reservations. Restaurants approximately doubled their business over the week-end.

RUM SHIP IS BEWITCHED But the Hoodoos Prove to Be Coast Guard Sleuths

All between rum runner* and roast guardsmen aren't fought in the open. Much of the conflict is a sar of wits better the liquor peddlers and the under-cover men . . . Here is the th.rd of six articles in The Times series on Running in the Rum Runners." BY MORRIS GILBERT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, April 10.—It's an old adage of the enforcement service that if you can "plant" an undercover man in a liquor gang, you're likely to get action. It has been done, and still is being done. It takes nerve, and wits, and luck. Government agents have come to violent and very unhappy ends through mislaying this com- _ bination. OthE7iT|! ers have done t-lL jr* better for them- ~/.\ IT selves— and the - law. Time enough fi has passed—so jV'V'’ they sa y in enffjL < forcement quartell the story of the last cruise of the storm-battered auxiliary schooner Pegasus, out of Havana with rum to peddle. ''Slim" Dolan tells it. As he talks—though he doesn't say it—you never forget, that every moment of that cruise he and his mate. Pete Busch, also of the coast guard, balanced their lives on the footing of a very thin tightrope. tt tt tt IT was a night male from st art to finish, and me and Pite certainly helped to make it so. We were the worst they ever hired aboard that, lugger. It was our business to be. "Workin’ against them all the time, it’s a winder they landed any booze at all. But they did, in spite of all we could do to hold ’em back—till we got ’em in the end. ‘ And they kept wandering all the time why in thunder every last little thing seemed to go wrong on that ship. Tt had been a home, the crew said, till that cruise. Then all their luck left ’em and the ship was a madhouse.” ‘•Slim" chuckled. ‘We could have told 'em why things kept happening,” he said Only they never thought to ask us." "You see," Slim continued, “Pete and I had orders to proceed to Havana, and get aboard a rummy somehow anyhow' —and hang on till we turned 'em in. Nice, easy assignment, what? ‘When we reached towm w'e stayed at—let’s say the Navada hotel. It's a pretty tough dump down by what they call Muele Luz, not far from the customs house— and all sorts of places. Full of rummies and their agents, that hotel w'as. And hke nothing on earth so much as a mining town in boom-times. "Fights and booze and parties, and more fights and more booze, night and day. All it, needed was Helen Twelvetrees and George Bancroft to make it just like the pictures. an WELL. Pete and me hung around and played dumb, and sure enough, pretty soon a guy comes up and asks us do w'e want a job. So of course we said W'e did. "He takes us to the owners of the schooner and the consignee—

MINISTER STRESSES •HUMAN BROTHERHOOD’ Dr. .loshau Stansfield Returns to I’ulpit He Held 15 Years. Dr. Joshua Stansfield, for fifteen years minister of the Meridian Street M. E. church, returned to his former parish Sunday after an absence of many years to deliver a Palm Sunday sermon. Dr. Stansfield. now a resident of St. Clair, Mich., and a world-travel-er said, in part: “The only sure basis of world brotherhood is human brotherhood.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

sponge boat came alongside and we sold them a load. “Next time we got close to shore w'as off Boca Grande, about 100 miles above Key West. It was dead calm, and Pete got inspired monkeying with his motor. All of a sudden she gives a terrible cry like a dying mule, the fly-wheel cants up on an angle of sixty degrees, and the whole thing shakes like she’s going crazy. “All Pete had done was loosen all the bolts he could lay a spanner on. It seems a little risky, now I look back at it, but the Old Man never seemed to tumble. "What w'e wanted then w'as for the Pegasus to hang there, unable to get out to open sea again. We figured sooner or later the old striped flag w'ould show' up on the horizon. Then w'e could find some w'ay to spill the beans. n tt "T)UT the Old Man—he w'as a 13 squarehead w'ould have none of it. He was all for keeping moving. So w'e had the whole crew perspiring over that flywheel and cursing Pete, trying to shake the thing dow'n into its moorings again. “When the skipper just about had decided to heave Pete overboard to the likeliest looking shark in the neighborhood, up

Then there follows, between bottles 10 and 12, a pleasant reaction, marked with perspirntion and a feeling of friendliness to all present. A detailed discussion on business affairs is included. The new beer is discussed from all angles. There is a general lull in the drinking, caused both by a feeling of fullness and the inclination to talk. In fact, that sandwich you ordered ten to twelve bottles ago tastes pretty good. You order another and. perhaps, a bowl of soup. Let’s Talk About Beer Bottle 12 doesn't come up for a long time. In fact, you go to some other place for a different brand of beer. Bottles 13 and 14 start the conversation all over again. The chief topic is the difference in taste between the two brands, the price ot beer and the fact that if you had consumed that much home-brew’, you’d long since been hanging from a chandelier. It is a task to down No. 15 immediately after 14. In fact, there is another lull—this time much longer and much quieter. There is a dull throb at the temples. It's the start of anew beer headache. It's not the jittery headache of days gone by. Just a dull tom-tom throb that is there to warn you to halt. Always the Gentlemen But. at that stage of the game, the brilliant idea dawms that, perhaps, a couple more bottles w’ill do away with that headache. \That accounts for Nos. 16 and 17. Still, there is no tendency’ to sing. You're getting loggy now. Sleep would be easy, but you ought to drink one more before you leave. You do. That's No. 18. Nos. 19 and 20 are accounted for by the old, staid custom of gentlemen. It's the usual two beers among the boys before home and to bed.

comes the wind, and we got under way again. So our plans went phooey. “From that time on things began to drag. Day after day passed, and we still had liquor aboard and couldn't seem to make any contacts —no radio, of course. “We cruised around up the east coast. By this time things had got so bad between Pete and his old motor that the skipper barred him from coming within ten yards of it. “A fellow on a shore boat had put it right, as well as he could, and pretty soon when another boat came out. the skipper hired the engineer off it and sent Pete ashore. Os course, that was jake with us, because Pete could report and get a cutter on our trail.

“I\yfEANWHILE, I managed to IVI. lose most of our store of coffee overboard, and the grumbling w'as terrible. I peeled the potatoes so thick that I ivasted most of a whole crate. I put salt in the pudding instead of sugar on Sundays and did my best to make the rest of the food taste like kitchen soap. “Frightfulness, that was the basis of my campaign. Make everybody so fed up they wouldn’t care if school kept or not. “Well, we were three weeks out of Havana when I spotted the sight I was looking for—the little gray boat with the one-inch gun on the bow\ They w'as off Daytona, and we were in territorial waters again as it happened, I just W'aved a dish towel, and she came right alongside. “After that it w'as only a case of towing the poor old Pegasus around to Savannah, where there w'as the kind of court we needed. The government seized her. “But I don't believe by that time crew or skipper cared what happened. As far as they w’ere concerned, the schooner was bewitched." “Slim” chuckled. “Well, maybe she w'as,” he said. Next—Radio . . . and rum.

SPEAKER RUNS AS DRY; PARTY | CHIEFS BITTER Crawford’s Back-Hand Slap at McNutt Angers High Democrats. BY JAMES DOSS, Times Staff Writer Earl Crawford. Milton banker, who had to promise to be good" before he could become Democratic ; Speaker of the house in the 1933 ■ legislature, is a dry delegate to the state convention on prohibition repeal June 6. i Thus, Craw'ford uot only repudiI ates his party's pledge to wipe out the dry statute, bui also administers a covert snub to Governor Paul V. McNutt and R- Earl Peters. Democratic state chairman, for McNutt has urged the organization to w'ork for election of wet delegates. The Speaker's political defection roused considerable unfavorable comment today among Indianapolis Democrats. He has an unquestioned right, they admit, to hold dry views in the role of a citizen. However, as the holder of such an important ; legislative post, he is guilty of impropriety, they point out. 'in going to such an extreme as to become a dry delegate. Ability Is Conceded Before the Democrats caucused at the start of the 1933 legislature, it was admitted that Crawford's general competence made him an ideal j choice as Speaker. He proved his ; ability as “master of the pack" by cracking the whip when recalcitrant ; representatives threatened to bolt j the party standard on the legislaI tive program laid down by the McNutt “high command." However, the Democrats w : ere pledged to Wright law repeal and a beer control bill and Crawford's aridity was attested by votes against Wright repeal in tw r o previous sessions. On Crawford's promise not to hold up wet legislation through authority vested in the Speaker of the house, McNutt assented to his candidacy. Even after the administration beer bill passed on its stormy way through both houses and it became Crawford's duty as Speaker to sign it, he voiced tacit disapproval. York “Greatly rieased" “It gives me no pleasure to sign this bill,” he assertod. “I do so only because it is my duty as Speaker oi the house." L. E. Y'ork, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, said today he was “greatly pleased" over the candidacy of Crawford and the four other delegates named in Wayne county. The other delegates ar# W. C. Dennis, Earlham college president; Mrs. Charles Teetor. Hai gerstown; John Holaday and Frank McFail, Richmond. Democratic State Chairman Peters said he had no comment to make for publication. LIGHTNING BOLT FATAL State Youth Instantly Killed When Struck During Storm. By United Pres* MT. VERNON.

PILOT INJURED IN PLANE CRASH City Man Falls 2,000 Feet in Accident: Condition Is 'Fair/ John V. Heizer, 3106 North Sherman drive, is in a fair condition today at Methodist hospital following injuries incurred Sunday when a plane he was piloting fell from an altitude of 2.000 feet. The plane, which was demolished, fell on the farm of George L. Gladen, at a point one-half mile east of the Marion county line near West Tenth street. Elmer Gladen. tenant on the farm, with the aid of other residents of the vicinity, pulled the aviator from the w'reckage. Heizer is believed to have incurred internal injuries in addition to a crushed left hand, a severe cut on the head and an injury of the left eye. Crumpling of a wing when a strut gave way due to breakage of an adjustment screw' was ascribed as the cause of the crash by mechanics of the Hoosier airport, w’ho inspected the w'reckage. Heizer. according to Capitol airport officials, w'as an experienced pilot w'ith tw'o years of flying, but his ship, a Liberty monoplane, was said to be a type built for experimental purposes, and not approved by the United States department of commerce. The pilot is an accountant. His wife, Mrs. Lucille Heizer, is a teacher in School 66. RATE CUTS DEMANDED Resolution Is Adopted by East Side Civic Clubs Federation.

REPEAL OF DRY LAW BY END OF YEAR IS LIKELY States Speed Ratification Plans: 'Beer Debauch’ Predictions Fail. BY WALKER STONE Times Sprrial W riter WASHINGTON. April 10 Repeal of national prohibition by the end of this year appeared possible today with ratification machinery being speeded up throughout the country. The great nation-wide beer debauch. which professional days pre- , dieted would follow legalization of brew and cause a popular swing of sentiment back toward prohibition, | has failed to materialize so far. The new beer, many people have ! found, is, as congress decreed, “nonintoxicating in fact." Michigan, one time a dry stronghold. today becomes the first state i to ratify repeal, as 100 delegates—j 99 wet and 1 dry—meet in convenI tion in Lansing to register the overj whelming mandate given by Mich- | igan voters one week ago. Two weeks from Tuesday. Wisconsin will become the second state to ratify, when the fifteen elected wet delegates meet at Madison. 28 States Complete Action Twenty-eight states have completed action on their convention legislation. In addition to Michigan and Wisconsin. sixteen others have fixed dates for election of delegates this jyear, and seventeen others are exi ported to follow suit. - States which have set election for j this year are: Rhode Island. May 1; i New Jersey. May 16; Wyoming, May | 18; New York. May 23; Indiana, June 6; Nevada. June 10: West Virginia, June 27; Alabama, July 11; Arkansas. July 18: Tennessee. July 20; Oregon, July 21; Washington, Aug. 29; Maine, Sopt. 11; Maryland. Sept. 12; New Mexico, Sept. 19, and Ohio, Nov. 7. Jouett Shouse. president of the : Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, predicts that the following states also will have elections this year; Arizona. California, Coloj rado, Connecticut, Delaware, Flonj da, Illinois, lowa, Massachusetts, | Minnesota. Missouri. New' Hamp- | shire, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, S South Carolina. Texas and Vermont. Consider Pinchot Veto The legislatures of only three | states—Georgia, Kansas and North | Dakota —which were in session at the time the repeal resolution was submitted adjourned without acting. Perlhsylvania’s legislature will act this week on Governor Pinchot s j veto of its convention bill. I The only other gubernatorial veto j thus far was in the much more | arid state of Alabama, and the veto I was overridden by an overwhclm- | ing vote. State Votes on June 6 Governor Paul V. McNutt's official proclamation, setting June 6 as the date for election of delegates to the Indiana convention for repeal of the eighteenth amendment, is being delivered today to clerks of the ninetytw'o counties of the state. The official text sets out both the federal and state laws calling for the convention. Delegates will be chosen as wet or dry, the total number to be elected being 329. A vote of 165 will be needed to determine whether Indiana is for or against repeal.
