—Let’s Go Hunting— REFORESTATION IN STATE GAINS WIDE SUPPORT Campaign Is Answer to 50 Years’ Battle for Needed Action. BY LEFTY LEE Times Hunting Editor The reforestation program being carried out in Indiana is by far the greatest opportunity the sportsmen of this state ever have had to restore the fish and game to the proper level. The reforestation program all over the country is at last a recognition and a stepping stone for the sportsmen, who have been battling for the last fifty years, a battle that, at times, seemed hopeless for the orderly array of the forests, the restocking of the streams and rivers and the prevention of droughts and floods. From the anglers’ and hunters’ standpoint, the battle has just begun. The work being carried on is absolutely worthless, if the cities, towns and manufacturers that have been guilty of polluting our waters in the past, or not stopped at once. Department Pushes Drive In Indianapolis we have White river, one of the most beautiful streams, in the state. In its present condition, it is an eyesore and menace to public health. An artist can find scene after scene along this stretch of water for inspiration, if the pollution is cleared. Fish also could be plentiful as the stretches that are clean prove some of the best catches made by anglers in Indiana are reported from White 3*iver where it is clean and fit for the habitation of the finny tribe. The Ray of hope for this state is the fact that the conservation department is serious in its drive to rid our waters of pollution and all conservation and sportsmen’s clubs should get behind the drive to clean things up forever. The polluter who, in the past, has ruined the beautiful streams to make him money by using them as sewage disposal plants, will find that the same method in the future will prove costly, for the aroused feeling against this obnoxious practice is general and the public demands that it be stopped. Deadline Is Jan. 1. Cities and towns that have not taken advantage of federal loans to correct this evil have until Jan. 1 to make application for the money at a rate that never will be theirs again. If they fail now all sympthy for them will be wasted when the landowners file suits that will prove far more costly for the violator. Don't wait until you are forced into the decency of cleaning things up. Act now’. A never-ending argument between Henry Scheller and Wait Holtman regarding the best method for taking bass now is in its fifth year and still gonig strong. Scheller is a member oof the old school of fishermen and swears by the live minnow, while Holtman is just as par- | tial to artificial bait. The fact that a two-pound bass was his best j during she last season has slowed Scheller up somewhat at the stove j league this winter, but if you place j the blame for the poor season on; the type of bait he used, the never-, ending debate wages hot again. | Scheller has been fishing the streams south of the city for more j than forty years, and knows every j hole for miles around, but Mr. Bass ! must take minnows or soft craws in season to join the other fish on his string. The hunter will be out today if possible after the heavy downpour of rain over the week-end. The reports of scarcity of game can be attributed directly to the dry weather that has made it practically impossible for a dog to help the nimrod track down the cottontail. The open season on quail is near its end and the hunters who love to get out with a good dog for this type of sport will have to get their fill by Wednesday of this week, when the season closes. Jim Flynn, an ardent quail hunter, is bemoaning the fact that he is finished for the season. Flynn had plans made for one more trip, but a hand injury that will keep him on the shelf until after the season has closed, prevents him from carrying out his plans. Tough luck. Jim. A hunter who lives on the outskirts of the city went out last w’eek to get a bag of rabbits. Piling his dog and gun into the car, he started for a good spot thirty miles away. The pickings were slim, however, and he did not get in a shot. To add insult to Injury, his wife told him of a hunter who killed two bunnies in his own back yard while he was away. Don’t forget, the quail season closes Wednesday. HONESTY GETS $5,000 REWARD. LOSS OF JOB New York Woman Finds Pearl Necklace. Returns It. By United Press FLORAL PARK. N.

Indiana in Brief Lively Spots in the State’s Happenings Put Together ‘Short and Sweet.’

By Times Special LEBANON, Dec. 18—His desire to hunt ’coons caused Loren Wethington. 28, to admit he told an untruth and to pay a fine overdue more than a year, which released him from the Boone county jail. Wethington, convicted on an assault and battery charge, was fined sl2. He was given ninety-days to pay, but many periods of that length passed and Wethington paid not a cent. Sheriff Small encountered Wethington in the courthouse. Doing any work these days?” the officer inquired. “Nope,” was the reply. “Then you might as well lay out that sl2 fine you’ve owed for more than a year,” the sheriff said, and led Wethington to a cell. Njght came—a drizzly, foggy night. “Oh, boy, what a night for ’coon hunting,” Wethington remarked as he gazed through bars. He called the sheriff. He admitted he was untruthful in a statement that he had no money to pay the fine. Obtaining the money from a bank where he had an account, Wethington paid and hurried away to his hunting.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

OFFICIAL GIVES ‘INSIDE DOPE’ IN DALE PARDONING Muncie Mayor Drinks Toast to President; Van Nuys Is Pleased. BY WALKER STONE R Times Special Writer. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—The reason for pardoning Mayor George Dale of Muncie, Ind., and refusing a pardon to his police chief, Frank Massey, was explained here today by a department of justice official who refused to permit the use of his name. ‘‘The charge on which both men were convicted,” said the official, ‘‘was conspiracy to violate prohibition laws. The only direct testimony offered at the trial against Mayor Dale came from a self-confessed crook. There were several witnesses who offered direct testimony against Mr. Massey. “Although any one who will read the trial record will doubt the credibility of some of the testimony against Mr. Massey,” he continued, “pardon officials of the department felt it was not proper for them to superimpose their judgment over the judgment of the jury, in the face of such a volume of testimony against Mr. Massey. “Pardon officials who reviewed this case can not understand why Mayor Dale and Mr. Massey were tried together. They think there should have been a severance.” Van Nuys Pleased Senator Frederick Van Nuys, who initiated the pardon proceedings in behalf of Mayor Dale and Mr. Massey, said today that he was “highly pleased” with President Roosevelt’s action in giving Mayor Dale an unconditional pardon, but was disappointed at the failure of Mr. Massey to receive the same treatment. Senator Van Nuys said, however, that he did not intend to ask the department of justice to make a second review of the case. “George Dale should never have been forced Into the position of asking for a pardon,” said Senator Van Nuys. “The government should have asked him for a pardon for treating him in such a wretched manner.” “If there ever was a hand-made case, it was the case against George Dale,” said the senator. Meanwhile, Mayor Dale, in Johns Hopkins hospital at Baltimore, has received scores of congratulatory telegrams from well-wishers residing in all parts of the United States. The mayor's legal and political battles have held the attention of the nation since he launched his famous attack on the Ku Klux Klan more than a decade ago. Grateful to President The mayor, who is in the Baltimore hospital receiving treatment for an eye ailment, sat up in his bed last night and, with a graham cracker in one hand and a glass of milk in the other, drank a toast to the health of President Roosevelt. “I feel extremely grateful to President Roosevelt,” said Mayor Dale. “This is a just and righteous pardon,” he said. “The case was a fabrication from the beginning to end, and I don’t think there was a prosecution witness who told xhe truth.” The mayor said he “couldn’t help but say” that he hoped President Roosevelt would reconsider Chief Massey’s petition for clemency, because “I never caught him in any crookedness—and I’m not dumb.” The whole prosecution case, the mayor said, was “trumped up by political opponents, who brought in federal spies and set up headquarters at the Y. M. C. A. in Muncie.” “From there,” he said, they “sent out stool pigeons to bring in witnesses to be coached.” In explaining the Dale pardon, the aforementioned department of justice official pointed out. that although Mayor Dale was charged with conspiracy to protect bootleggers, the overwhelming weight cf evidence at the trial proved that he actually “drove out of the city the criminals he was accused of protecting.” HEYWOOD BROUN IS HEAD OF PRESS GUILD Columnist Says Five-Day Week Will Be Objective of Group.
