250 AT DINNER BID FAREWELL TO NICHOLSON Hoosier Author Lauded by Friends in Sendoff to Foreign Post. With oratory, Spanish dances and the atmosphere of Paraguay, Meredith Nicholson, Indiana author and minister to the South American country’, was told farewell by his friends Wednesday night in an hours-long celebration at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. While his Indiana colleagues lauded him, Nicholson also heard the praises in numerous remote control plaudit* from throughout the nation. Nicholson, sworn in as minister to Paraguay by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan Wednesday noon, was to leave Indianapolis today for Washington, where he will receive final instructions before sailing to South America. Nicholson, in a brief address at the close of the dinner, thanked those present and others who were unable to attend for their kindness to him on the eve of his departure. Lauded by Pastor Dr. Burris A. Jenkins of Kansas City, Mo., former pastor of the Third Christian church here, was the principal speaker. "Meredith Nicholson holds the same position in this generation that William Dean Howells held in the generation just past,’’ he said. “In addition to being a most prolific writer, he always has had a penchant for politics as an avocation. He has served pnselfishly in the ranks. Now, at last, he is recognized nationally and internationally. "Dwight Morrow showed us what fine understanding and broad sympathies can accomplish in dealing with Mexico, our neighbor on the south, where only misunderstandings prevailed before. Nicholson has a similar opportunity in Latin America. He is one of the six men who will indicate what the policy of the United States toward South America will be.’’ Ade Draws Laughs George Ade, humorist, brought the laughs of the night from the more than 250 guests w'hen he related personal incidents in his and Nicholson’s lives and acclaimed the minister as the man “who was a Democrat when it didn't look as if it would pay.” Ade quoted from an encyclopedia to give Nicholson tips on what he would find in his new’ post. The humorist rehearsed the climate, calling Nicholson's attention to the scanty clothing worn by the natives. “A most important product of Paraguay is yerba mate.” Ade said. "The leaves of the native shrub are used in the preparation of a beverage which is highly stimulating, invigorating and rejuvenating. It looks as if ‘Nick’ has drawn a dandy appointment. McNutt Is Speaker "Rum is manufactured freely and there are no restrictions on the sale. We shall expect our minister to remedy that state of affairs and encourage the natives to the heights of moral grandeur which we attained under the eighteenth amendment. the Volstead act and the Wright bone dry law’.” Other speakers were Governor Paul V. McNutt, Mayor Reginald H. Sulllivan and presidents of Butler and Indiana universities and Wabash college, which, in the last few years, have presented Nicholson with degrees. Friends Present Medal Telegrams and letters were received from: O. O. Mclntyre, columnist: James E. Watson, former senator: Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war; Roy W. Howard, of the Scripps-Howard newspapers; Will H. Hays, movie "czar;” John H. Finley, editor of the New’ Yorit Times: Senator Frederick VanNuys, John T. McCutcheon, famous cartoonist; Booth Tarkington. author, and Representative Louis Ludlow. A medal in tribute to Nicholson was presented to him at the close of the program.

State Insurance, Bond Business Now Patronage

Greenlee Says It Will Be Passed Around to Party Workers. Bonds and insurance business of the state have been added to the Democratic patronage being handled through the office of Governor Paul V. McNutt, it was announced today. The announcement came from Pleas Greenlee, McNutt secretary in charge of the patronage dispensary.

Store Teeth Click Dare at Safety Board Order

Fireman Refuses to Appear for False Alarm Identification. Marion T. Harrison’s now famous “store teeth” turned on the safety board Wednesday with a defiant click, and as a result the city fireman, who is charged with turning in a false alarm, is facing the prospect I of outright dismissal. Harrison is alleged to have been on “a little toot” on the day of ! July 24. and is charged with turning in a false alarm from in front of a barber shop operated by Eli Vickery at Bloyd avenue and Rural ! street. The fire-alarm puller pulled the vanishing act and Harrison later was identified as the culprit. He came to trial before the safety board j and then the whole affair took on an hilariously funny aspect. Harri- ! son appeared with sunken cheeks, j Witnesses were unable to identify ! him definitely. It came out that Harrison had his | "store teeth” jn his pocket, where he | said he kept them always when not ; eating. Vickery was sure the alarm puller had puffed-out cheeks. The affair was at a standstill. Tuesday, the board heard a request from Vickery that Harrison l be brought before him wearing his store teeth and the clothes he wore on July 24. Battalion Chief Roscoe McKinney was instructed to take Harrison before Vickery. Today. McKinney informed Charles R. Myers, safety board president, that Harrison had refused point-blank to put in the false molars and face Vickery. So. Myers said, an additional charge of insubordination would be logded against Harrison. Next Tuesday, when the board meets again, Harrison will have to i explain his action, if he can.

Straub announced Wednesday that he is returning $32,758 to the federal government as savings from the $184,626 allotted the Indiana national guard for the annual encampment. The two-week training period was completed last week at Ft. Knox, Ky. Major items of savings, listed by Straub, were pay and allowance, $21,916; subsistence, $7,606; fuel, $1,226. and forage. $1,082. STATE OFFICE VACANT McNutt Seeking Appointee for State Probation Post. Governor Paul V. McNutt is seeking a state probation officer. Since his administration got under way the post has remained unfilled. The place likely will go to “some wellqualified.” the Governor said. The office is under the state charities department and consists of contacting local probation officers to “instruct and inspire,” according to the Governor. A shrimp spawns once in its life, but may produce as many as 800,000 eggs.

McLain explained that names of Democratic insurance agents in each county were procured from the county chairmen. Then, as a bond or insurance policy terminates, one of these agentis is selected to write the renewal and collect the fee. The agent is selected through Greenlee and the company passed upon by McLain. "Formerly, the Republicans permitted a few agents, largely in Indianapolis, to enrich themselves with this state business,” Greenlee declared. "We intend to spread the benefits around and incidentally, aid the Democratic party.” McLain said that the administration had decided not to renew’ any liability insurance on state-owned cars, since the state can not be sued for damages. This will save thousands of dollars in premiums, he asserted.
