VOLUME 46—NUMBER 86

‘By Their Own Words Shall You Know Them’ —The Vote Is Yours BOTH candidates for the United States senate now have sounded their keynotes for the fall campaign. Senator Arthur Robinson, who seeks re-election, spoke Saturday night at the Lake Wawasee convention of Republican editors. Sherman Minton, his Democratic opponent, addressed the Democratic Editorial Association on the previous Saturday at French Lick. Since the two speeches typify the issues. The Times has picked typical excerpts from both addresses and prints them today ide by side for the information of the voters: a a a MR. ROBINSON—Never before was the Constitution of the United States in such grave danger. God help America if it should be destroyed! MR. MlNTON—Apparently, this is to be another campaign of fear and fright. a a a MR. ROBINSON—The Constitution . . . has. by the party in power, become a historical scrap of paper which acts as an obstacle to the brain storms of political dreamers. MR. MINTON—This Constitution doesn't belong to the discredited leaders of the Republican party, discredited through their reccntlv demonstrated inability to govern under it. The Constitution belongs to all of the people and they are conscious of their responsibility. nun MR. ROBINSON—And let us not forget that when nations abandon constitutional government, it is the man farthest down who is hurt first and worst. .MR. MINTON—Vou self-appointed defenders of the Constitute n. tell the people of Indiana where you were when millions of proud citizens in this land of plenty were faced with hunger, want and privation . . . when receiverships and bankruptcies reached unheard of figures .... when the bulls and the bears and the wolves of Wall Street .... fleeced people out of their earnings and savings. u a a MR ROBlNSON—Bureaucracy and dictatorship destroy freedom and whenever you find regimentation and so-called planned ecomonmy in operation you will find a people servile and totally without liberty. MR. MINTON—Human rights is the theme and their preservation the purpose of the Constitution. It has been the boast of the discredited leaders of the opposition that their party has ruled this country almost exclusively for three quarters of a century During this time .... property rights have been in the ascendancy until todav we find 07 per cent of the property owned by three per cent of the people. . . . That is constitutional government as our opponents . . . gave it to us. a a a MR. ROBINSON—The New Deal has no economic philosophy beyond a few vague notions of destructive economic paradoxes which are carrying us farther to the left and will leave us finally in chaos with no way out. MR. MINTON—. . . The national recovery act was passed. What has been the result? Instead of 12,000.000 men and women trudging the streets in the army of the unemployed. 5,304,000 have returned to work. . . . Business failures have dropped from better than 31.000 per year in the last year of Hoover's administration to an estimate in 1934 of not more than 12.000. Trade volume has increased by 44 per cent. . . . The right of labor to protect itself by collective bargaining has been secured and child labor abolished. ana MR. ROBINSON—You see every day evidences of how the administration is tossing money literally to the four winds in the most gigantic spending spree in history. MR. MINTON—. . . . Ninety per cent of the hanks that closed have been licensed to reopen. . . . If a bank fails . . . the government steps in and pays each depositor in full up to $5,000. . . . Between thirty and forty million dollars have been loaned to save Hoosier homes. ... At the same time . . . the farmers of Indiana were receiving loans to relieve their mortgage burden in the sum of 530.500.000. . . . Today the farmers’ income is 39 per cent greater than under the last year of Hoover’s administration. a a a MR. ROBlNSON—Regimentation and collectivism . . . are threatening us like a horrible pestilence. Subversive forces within our government . . . are now taking us unmistakably on a trek to Moscow. The changes we have seen in our form of government are the handAork of an ever-growing group of radicals in key positions. MR. MINTON —The government that leads labor back to work, that makes the farmer more content to face the future on the farm, that gives the husiness man more confidence and every citizen more taith in himself, and his country, will live forever enshrined in the hearts of the people. n a a (An analysis of Senator Robinson's speech will be found on today's editorial page.)

G. 0. P. Candidates Open Campaign of Speeches

Drive Is Launched at Editorial Session: Robinson Busy; Jim Watson to Take Stump.

With their campaign formally launched at a meeting of the Republican Editorial Association last week-end. the Republican candidates for state and national offices today prepared for a series of speeches throughout the state.

Senator Arthur R. Robinson, heading the ticket, lost no time in getting under way. He delivered his opening campaign speech at the editorial association meeting Saturday night and then returned to Indianapolis for an Eleventh and Twelfth district rally yesterday. At Lake Wawasee. the senator renewed his attacks on the New Deal and submitted twelve Republican proposals as an alternative to "those mad schemes of collectivism, regimentation and bureaucracy of the Democratic administration.” Republican leaders were enthusiastic over the turnout at Wawasee It was the first time the Republican editors had held a summer outing for several years. One of the most noteworthy announcements to come out of the meeting was the fact that former Senator James E. Watson has agreed to stump the state on behalf of the G. O. P. candidates. Watson probably will discuss both state and national issues in his campaign talks. ALLEGED SLAYER OF CRIPPLE IS IDENTIFIED State Calls First Witness in Murder Trial. I'mitrH Prttt COOPERSTOWN. N.

HEAVY ANTI-HITLER VOTE PILED UP BY FOES IN NAZI PLEBISCITE

HENRY RAINEY, HOUSE LEADER, DIES SUDDENLY Beloved Speaker 111 Only Two Weeks: Heart Ailment Blamed. 74 YEARS OLD TODAY Wife, Told of His Death, Bares ‘Presentiment’ on Visit. 'Copvrieht. 1934. bv United Press) ST. LOUIS, Aug. 20.—Henry Thomas Rainey, Speaker of the national house of representatives, died suddenly of angina pectoris in De Paui hospital at 7:50 o'clock Sunday night while convalescing from a mild attack of bronchial pneumonia. He would have been 74 years old today. Only three hours before the end, the Speaker's wife and a sister, who had been with him throughout the day, left for their home at Carrollton, 111., on the assurance of attending physicians that his condition was thoroughly satisfactory under the circumstances. Despite the assurances, after tw’o consultations held at her request, Mrs. Rainey told the United Press she had what she described as "a presentiment” on leaving her husband that it was the last time she would ever see him alive. “I told him good-by, feeling that was our final parting,” the Speaker's wife said. "As I left the room, I heard him ask the nurse, ‘Has she gone?’ Immediately I took off my hat and returned, saying: ‘No, dear, I have not gone yet.’ "We had a nice final talk. He seemed very happy, and much better when I did leave. I, of course, said nothing to him of my presentiment, but I was sure he was near death. Word of his passing, therefore, was not the shock it otherwise would have been.” Today His Birthday Although today was to have been his birthday, no plans for its celebration were made for the first time since their marriage, Mrs. Rainey said. She nevertheless assured her husband on leaving him that she would return today. Frequently during his convalescence, she had visited him. The widely-loved parliamentarian entered the hospital two weeks ago to shake off the bronchial trouble contracted during a summer political campaign on behalf of "New Deal" candidates. He w r as ordered to take a complete mental and physical rest to regain his strength for the arduous legislative duties of the winter. "He convalesced nicely,” said Dr. Frank smnegan. "We nevertheless barred all visitors except his wife and immediate members of his family. All newspapers and mail were kept from him. but the major events of news were told to him, daily. Blames Speaking Tour "Nourishment he assimilated well. His appetite appeared better by far than when he entered. He suffered no loss in yeight, and his condition Sunday afternoon was what I would describe as just about 100 per cent. I told Mrs. Rainey it would be all right if she returned in about a week.” Mrs. Rainey attributed the heart condition to the strain of speaking in exceptionally hot weather which prevailed during the past month. "It was his heart. I am sure,” she said. Dr. Sinnegan added that undoubtedly the strain of the past session of congress had much to do with failure of his heart, and that it was not attributable to the pneumonia. Plans for the funeral were not immediately formulated. The speaker had expressed a wish that his body be cremated, which Mrs. Rainey said would be done. It was understood that just a simple family funeral service would be held at Carrollton, w’here the speaker was bom on Aug. 20. 1860. DENIED SEPARATE TRIAL Samuel Insull's Motion Turned Down by Wilkerson. By United Press - CHICAGO, Aug. 20.—Samuel Insull Sr. was denied a motion for a separate trial by Federal Judge James H.

CITY TAX RATE CUT] 3 CENTS sl.lß Levy Will Be Given Council for Approval Tonight. The civil city's 1935 budget will be introduced in city council tonight by the city administration and will call for a tax rate of sl.lß on each SIOO, which is 13 cents lower than the rate now prevailing. This, was announced today by Evans Woollen Jr., who. as city comptroller, is responsible with Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan for the city's fiscal policies. Mr. Woollen's announcement came four days after The Times had predicted a reduction of 10 cents in the rate because of the fact that approximately $450,000 less would have to be raised by taxation for city operating funds. Three factors are cited as contributing to the $450,000 savings. In the first place, excise tax monies to be received from the state will amount to approximately $235.000. This will be about $160,000 more than was received this year from the same source. Secondly, appropriations to various city departments have been slashed approximately $75,000 under those of this year. Thirdly, there will be a balance on hand of approximately $215,000.

FEAR MURDER IN DEATH OF SONGWRITER Jerry Jarnegin Found Dead in Palatial Home; Slain, Is Belief. NO PRINTS ON WEAPON Pistol Found Six Feet Away From Where Victim Is Discovered. By United Press HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 20.—A gun out of reach of the dead man's hands and lack of an apparent motive led police today to investigate the possibility that Jerry Jarnegin, song-writing husband of Irene Franklin of vaudeville fame, was slain mysteriously at his palatial Lake Toluca home. Police, at first convinced the musician had. killed himself, faced a baffling situation as an increasing number of clews pointed to a mystery murder on the eve of Jarnegin's "big chance” in motion pictures. Miss Franklin denied he could have killed himself. She said she and the 'musician were to have taken screen tests today at Warner Brothers’ studio for leading roles in “Sweet Adeline,” a stage hit in which she had starred. Mr. Jarnegin was seated at a dining table with a group of friends and his wife last night, celebrating the “big break,” which seemed due on the morrow, and also the approaching marriage of his niece, Miss Dorothy Watson, to William Green, both of Lake Charles, La. He appeared in exceptionally gay spirits, Miss Franklin said. He excused himself and left the table. What happened in the next few minutes is the mystery police must solve. Guests heard a muffled report "like that of a cap pistol” across the flower-filled patio. Miss Franklin went to investigate. She found her husband slumped in a chair, a .38-caliber pistol lying on another chair six feet away, she told police. She summoned the other guests immediately. Police found that the bullet which killed Mr. Jarnegin caused instant death, piercing his brain. Doctors said he had no spasmodic reaction —just slumped over dead. Miss Franklin and the other guests were certain they did not pick up the gun and place it on the far chair. Police, seeking to check this angle, said no fingerprints were found on the weapon.

'Gift Baby’ Is Found at County Children’s Home Little Girl Transferred From City Orphanage by Juvenile Court ‘for Best Interests of Child.’ Juliet Korth. 2, became another "gift-baby” today. Shunted from the Indianapolis orphans home to the board of children’s guardians home the baby, who was given Saturday by Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler to the state of Minnesota, played in the nursery of her new home today oblivious of the furor caused by her removal.

She was taken Friday from the orphans home to the county institution. Juvenile court attaches assured The Times Saturday that the child was in the orphans home. The Board of Children's Guardians officials refused to tell The Times today whether the child was dren's Guardiat home.” "You’ll have to get in touch with the juvenile court,” was the reply after a prior statement that the child is “not on our rolls.” Judge Geckler was asked by The Times where the baby was staying and he said, "In the Board of Children's Guardians’ home.” "But the home says the baby is not on the rolls and refers us to the juvenile court,” pursued The Times reporter. The judge called to Mrs. Daisy Bates, juvenile court investigator, • Where is the Korth child.” “In the custody of the juvenile court,” answered the court attache. "I know that, but where is she?” queried the judge hastily. "In the Board of Children s Guardians’ home,” responded Mrs. Bates. Mrs. Bates said the child was moved the day before the juvenile

CATHOLIC DISTRICTS ANTAGONISTIC Astonishing Increase in Enmity to Ruler Is Recorded in Districts Where Devout Church'People Live. By United Press BERLIN, Aug-. 20.—-Adolf Hitler today had been confirmed as an absolute dictator by an overwhelming vote of his countrymen—a vote that represented a definite national rebuke to radical Naziism. It was a rebuke in that Hitler failed signally to surpass in the national referendum he called for yesterday, the amazing total of votes piled up in November that approved his withdrawal from the League of Nations. In yesterday's poll the opposition vote was doubled.

court trial to her new home for “the best interests of the child.” The judge said the child Tvas placed in the orphans home by mistake. Judge Geckler assured Fred Bonifield, attorney for the child's foster mother, Mrs. Mabel McCane, that the child was in the Board of Children’s Guardians home and promised that she would remain there until Mr. Bonifield had received a decision on his appeal of the judge's verdict of custody. Mr. Bonifield reassured the judge that the agreement he made to drop the habeas corpus action in superior court five against the orphans home would be carried out. The judge also granted Mrs. McCane the right to see the baby once a week at the guardians’ home. The hunt for exact whereabouts of the child began yesterday w’hen Mr. Bonifield and Mrs. McCane sought to locate her at the city orphanage. After questioning several attaches at the orphanage it was learned that a juvenile court officer took the child away Friday, the day before her custody was given to the state of Minnesota. The orphanage's executive had not been served with a summons in. connection with the habeas corpus action. She was out of the city. The habeas summons could not be found in the sheriff's office today by The Times. Mr. Bonifield said he was not informed by juvenile court authorities of the childs removal from the orphanage. Mr. Bonifield finally located Judge Geckler was told the hereabouts r \hiid.

Nazi orators had made it clear Hitler would be dissatisfied unless he passed the NoI vember total. He failed by some two million-odd votes. Comparative figures of the NoI vember plebiscite and that of yesJ terday on the basis of "provisional final figures follow: Yestrrday November Electorate 45,473,635 45,146,277 Total Votes Cast 43.529,710 43,460.529 For Hitler 36,362,760 40,609,247 Against 4,294,654 2,101,000 Invalid 872.296 750.282 The invalid vote was regarded as to be included, in large measure, m the opposition total because many who did not dare to vote against Hitler would not vote for him. Newspapers were asked to minimize the invalid total. 88.1 Per Cent of Votes Hitler got 88.1 per cent of the votes cast. He got 93.5 of the vote in November. The greatest opposition yesterday was in Catholic and industrial districts. The increase in the opposition total surprised Nazi leaders. It was the first setback in the eighteen months of Nazi rule. But there still was no organized opposition, and Hitler ruled supreme as the most powerful dictator in modern civilized history, sole master of his country's immediate political fate, with the power of war and peace and life and death. Opposition increased because of the bloody suppression of the Storm Troop revolt, the Evangelical church schism, the Austrian troubles and the black economic situation. Takes Courage to Vote “No” It was an indication of the seriousness of the crisis through which Naziism has passed since the June 30 revolt. The total opposition vote was more impressive because it was a courageous man w’ho voted “no” in face of the Nazi leaders’ statements in their appeal for support that he who voted against Hitler "placed himself outside the nation.” The most astonishing increase in the negative vote came in the Ko-blenz-Trier district, strongly Catholic. Where 18.788 persons voted "no” in November, 105,279 voted “no” yesterday. The affirmative vote decreased from 800,760 to 742,600. In many Catholic districts in the west, the negative vote increased five-fold. In Hamburg, where Hitler made his own appeal for votes Friday, there was a negative vote of 20 per cent. Hitler's biggest support came from the farm districts in the eastern provinces.
