—Let's Go Fishing— TIPPECANOE IS BOON TO STATE BASS SEEKERS Times Fishing Editor and Party Find Plenty of Battles. BY GEORGE DENNY Times Fishing Edtt*r Say “Tippecanoe river” to an Indiana bass fisherman and watch his face light up. This stream has everything. Shaded pools and eddies for th® still fisherman; rocks, r:ffi®s and submerged logs for the plug casters ■ and lota of wadable territory for; the fly rod wieider have earned it j a place as one. of the finest bass i waters in the middle west. Saturday afternoon Bon Aspv and ; I arrived at Winamac and in two j hours of drifting m a boat on the outskirts of town we had four small-1 mouths. We were casting an orig-! Inal wiggler, black bucktail and pork ! rind combination. We were up at 4, loaded the boat j on to a truck and at 5 were well I started on the eight-mile drift back i to the cotage. It seemed for a while that, the low! water, unusually warm at this time I of year, would defeat our efforts. Finally, Bon broke the ice with a one-pounder and then another, while I took a •‘keeper” on a soft j craw. This seemed to b® about all the lurk we were comg to have for the; day, but a bit after noon, when the sun was hottest, a languid cast into a shallow, none-too-inviting spot brought a hit that had us wide awake at once. You cant just casually reel in a four-pound, fast-water small* mouth, and that's wnat Ron's prize weighed, minus four ounces, two! hours later. These Tippecanoe bass are. ounce! for ounce, the best scrappers I've ever felt. If you're used to pulling I m a twelve-inch fish with it's uead j out of the water after it has made j a few feeble lunces. you are liable to break som® tackle on these babies. They hate to leave that pretty stream. Even the undersize fish will j giv- you a few thrills. Notice to hunters. Are you look-i ing for a good beagle or two for next 1 fall’s rabbit running? Herbert Hoch, Winamac. has more of the little hounds than I ever saw together at one time and I didn t see them all. His beagles and spaniels have taken prizes at the best bench shows and field trials. Also, Herb will furnish the boat and the truck for that Tippecanoe river fishing trip, and the cottage, too. if you need it. Just; ask anybody where to find him. W. T. Heinrichs seems to have the hluegill situation well in hand. He reports another limit catch on I catalpa worms in the Big Four lake near Fillmore. Garry Winders landed a five-and- 1 one-ha Sf-pound large-mouth at McCoy lake last Wednesday. Bill , Hurrle did almost as well at Shafer ; lake the preceding Sunday. A fourpounder, got mad at I his dual spinner. Resumption of industrial activity. I coupled with the low waters this i spring, has laid the foundation for; a serious stream pollution situation. From everywhere come the com-! plaints. Fishermen visit favorite! stretches to find banks lined with; dead and dying fish. Parents see their children become sick after a swim in the sewage-laden pod Ts. j Resorters are driven from their cottages by the stench. The conservation department can t fight this battle alone. Not i until every sportsman, every lover j of the outdoors takes a bit of the responsibility on his or her own shoulders will the pressure begin to I be felt. Speak to your legislator. Tell him j that you cxnect favorable action on ; any anti-pollution measures in the next session.

Because of the cramped conditions at the postoffice, local authorities feel that the postal department probably will recommend the immediate construction of additional qusrters. Local officials have been frustrated in prior efforts to gain appropriations for the annex, and until recently it was believed the project might be abandoned. Mr. Briggs said today that he would present his report to Washington within two weeks. It is believed that definite action will follow rapidly.

ABOLITION OF ‘PLUM’ SYSTEM IS ADVOCATED Patronage Plan Is Assailed by City Woman in Washington. By 7 imrtt Spminl WASHINGTON. July 3.—Abolition of the patronage system and placing of all governmental services on a merit basis, so far as personnel is concerned, was advocated here today by Mrs. Walter S. Greenough, Indianapolis. Mrs. Greenough is in Washington for a meeting of directors of the National League of Women Voters. She is chairman of the department of government and its operations. “There has been discussion by the administration during the last year looking toward the elimination of patronage, but administration leaders have only scratched the surface of a condition for which both the Republican and Democratic parties must be held accountable over a period of years,” Mrs. Greenough said. Attacks Spoils System “There are several regrettable situations already known to the observing citizen. Why should all postmasters, except thase in rural communities, be chosen by the spoils system? Why are thousands of new positions created under emergency agencies in the last year, placed outside of the regular classified service? What about the amazing inequalities in salary between equally responsible pasitions? “Not only have there been few improvements in public personnel management during the depression, but actually, previous gains have been undermined. For example, reports from our state and local leagues show that married women have been discriminated against all too frequently in the law or administrative practice. Opposed “Married” Clause “The national league opposed the ‘married persons’ clause in the economy act of 1932 and considered it unfortunate that the house committee failed to give the congress which just has ended a chance to repeal Section 213 of that act by not reporting out the bill. “The League of Women Voters is convinced that there must be more general understanding and appreciation of the present situation—how men and women are chosen for their jobs, what the responsibilities are, how they can be removed for inefficiency, or promoted for good service, and what inducements there are to make the government service attractive as a career to the ablest minds of the country.” An aroused and enlightened public opinion can bring this about. Mrs. Greenough said, and pointed out that the League of Women Voters is striving toward that goal.

WIDOW'S 'DEATH THREAT' BARED IN GENTRY CASE Woman With Whom Slain Man Lived Faces Probe in Mystery Killing. By f'nitrd Press JEFFERSON, WiS., July 3 —An alleged “death threat" made by Mrs. Carrie Gill. 59. Jefferson widow, against Earl Gentry, 47, Indianapolis, slain “public enemy, ’ spurred the investigation into Gentry's death today. The charge that Mrs. Gill last November threatened to kill Gentry was scrawled in what officials said was Gentry's handwriting across the face of a will executed in March. 1931. The will named Mrs. Gill as executrix and sole beneficiary. Across the will was written, ! “nulled and void bv Earl Gentry. Nov. 28. '33. When I was threaten to be killed by Carrie Gill. Said she would have it done on the high\v ay.'* Mrs. Gill, with whom Gentry had lived for the last seven years, was to be questioned further today. Gentry came here after he was acquitted on a charge of participating in the murder of Madge Oberholtzer at Noblcsville, Ind., in 1925. At that time Gentry was bodyguard I for D. C. Stephenson, grand kleagle ; of the Indiana Ku-Klux Klan, who 1 now is serving a life term in prison on the murder charge. Search for the gun with which Gentry was killed early Sunday was renewed today with the recovery of an Evansville, Ind., hotel towel from the Rock river here. Gentry had visited at Evansville recently. She'iff I Joseph Lange said the towel may ; have been wrapped around the re- ; volver used in the killing. Miss Josephine Probst, 26, Ft. At- ! kinson school teacher and niece of j Mrs. Gill, with whom Gentry last ; vas seen alive Saturday night, also | was to be questioned further today. J Sheriff Lange said he had learned ! that Donald Probst. 17. brother of | Josephine, had Gentry arrested sev- ; end months ago on an assault and battery charge. The youth said tha„ Gentry beat him after accusing ! him of informing Mrs. Gill than Gentry had been going out with Mis, Probst. Gentry’s fine was paid by Albert Probst, father of the school teacher and of her brother who brought the complaint. Gentry was found dead in his automobile parked near Rock river late Sunday. The car had been parked at that spot since early in the morning, but the body was slumped down on the floor and passersby were not aware of what had happened.
