M’KINNEY DEMANDS LIQUOR AND POLITICS BE DIVORCED; OARP BOARD TG PICK SLATE

Candidate Carries Fight to Lake County in Talk at Gary. Times Sperin 1 GARY. Ind., April 9. Lake Counfv Democrats today debated E. Kirk McKinney's demand for complete divorcement of liquor control from politics following an address bv the Democratic candidate for the Gubernatorial nomination before the Gary Wilson Club last night. Stressing what he claimed were dangers to the party and to the government if liquor interests get the upper hand. Mr. McKinney said. “It would take no with a crystal ball to predict the return of prohibition if the sale of liquor is a political commodity. A party or government should control liquor traffic, and liquor traffic should not control a party or its government.” He urged cessation of “family rows” in the Democratic party and requested pvery voter to become “issue-minded.” “Not that I fear that any of our following will be lured away from us by such clap-trap as that disseminated by Herbert Hoover in his Fort Wayne address." he said. Mr. McKinney also discussed what he termed “inequalities” in the gross income tax law. "I am hopeful enough to believe that practically my entire platform will be a part of the Democratic party's, although I am making no pretense of trying to write the platform of our party. The state convention will do that,” he concluded.

Spiked Police Say Woman Hired Duo to Wreck Train, Kill Husband.

By United Press PENSACOLA, Fla., April 9. Railroad detectives charged attractive Mrs. L. W. Vann today with hiring two Negroes to wreck a train on which her 70-year-old husband was engineer, hoping lie would be killed so that she might marry another man with his S3OOO insurance as dowry. Only the fact that the Negroes did not understand the action of a train wheel’s flanges on rails thwarted two attempts to execute the plot, near Cantonement, Fla., authorities said. Sheriff H. E. Gandy said ihe Negroes. Allen Langston and Allen Finley, 16. confessed that for SSO cash and the promise of SSOO additional they twice pulled spikes over which Vann's train passed. The rails spread and buckled under the train both times, but because Langston and Finley removed spikes only from the inside rail on a curve, the train passed safely. Had the outer rail been loosened, railroad men said, the wheel flanges swinging outward with the weight and centrifugal force of a speeding train certainly would have made the plot a success. Mrs. Vann, middle-aged but comely, denied the Negroes’ story. But Sheriff Gandy held her and Earl Travis of Castleberry, Ala., under charges filed by railroad officials and for investigation.

Surrender of Gen. Lee Retold by City Veteran

Joseph B. Henninger, 88, Tells of Appomattox 71 Years Ago Today. BY WILLIAM ROHR JR. The "white flag of truce” which Gen. Robert, E. Lee ordered raised above his exhausted Confederate troops, ending the Civil War 71 years ago today, was the "back out of the only white shirt in the Confederate army.” This was revealed by Joseph B. Henninger, 88-year-old Civil War veteran of Indianapolis, one of the few' soldiers yet living who w’ere with Gen. U. S. Grant when Lee was brought to bay at the little village of Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia. The surrender made a war veteran of Mr. Henninger at the age of 17. He now is assistant adjutant general of the Indiana G. A. R. with an office in the Statehouse. Battles Leave Scars Although knockid unconscious by the explosion a bomb beside him, nicked in the right shoulder by a sniper’s bullet, and given one year to live by his physician, because he suffered from tuberculosis, Mr. Henninger is spry and active today. Recounting his w'ar experiences, Mr. Henninger said: “I knew the Union forces would win the war after we took Petersburg. Our gunfire did terrific damage to that Virginia town, knocking down homes in the residential section. “Soon afterward Lee and his army evacuated Richmond, with Gen. Grant in hot pursuit. I was with Grant's army all the while except for the Richmond engagement and I was at Appomattox when the flag of truce was raised above the ramparts on Sunday morning, April 9, 1865.” Submits to Terms He said Lee arrived first, shortly after 2 in the afternoon, wearing a full-dress uniform of Confederate gray and handsome jewelled sword, while Grant, appeared in a rough traveling suit, the uniform of a private over which he wore shoulder straps of a lieutenant-general. At 3:30 Gen. Lee signed the terms and surrendered 28,231 men. “We were entrenched at the time,” Mr. Henninger recalled. “Many of us thought the white flag was a ruse, and we really didn't expect the end. “A horseman dashed into the Union camp, waving his hat and shouting, ’The war is over.’ “It was like being raised from hell to heaven.” the veteran said, describing his own reactions. Mr. Henninger enlisted in the [ Union Army before he was 15 years old. “With six brothers in the war. I was pretty much alone at home, so I nacked up and joined the colors. too.” Mr. Henninger said. His home was in Lockhaven, Pa. Lee was occupying Richmond with about 40,000 men as Grant advanced upon it with 100,000 troops eager to end the war. Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, received news of the impending attack as he attended devotions in St. Paul’s Church Sunday, April 2. That night Davis fled with his cabinet to North Carolina. Lee evacuated Richmond the same night. Grant followed, overtaking him at Appomattox. Os the year he spent in the war. the visit of President, Lincoln and the explosion of a 16-pound shot beside him stand out in his memory. The first taste of battle which the young private experienced occurred in the Wilderness on the evening of May 4. 1864. “The men shouted, swore, and some of them prayed. Others fired their guns.” Saw President Lincoln “Nineteen of my comrades fell mortally wounded when a group of Confederates fired from ambush,” he said. “The next day in the Battle of the Wilderness Lee attempted to halt Grant’s advance into the South. The Union army lost 17,666 men.” In March, 1865, Lincoln visited the Army of the Potomac. Mr. Henninger saw the President, “in a tall silk hat that made him two feet taller than any man there.” It was in a particularly hot encounter with the rebels that Henninger had his narrowest escape.

he crouched low 6n the ground beside his brother to avoid the enemy fire, a 16-pound shot fell beside them and exploded. He was unconscious for two days. Refusing to retire, Mr. Henninger came to the G. A. R. office in the statehouse five years ago. He was then 83. He lives at 1902 Rucklest.

PROFESSORS TO DIG FOR LINTON METEOR 'Fallen Star’ to Be Farmer’s Property, if Found. Timex Special BLOOMINGTON, April 9.—On the chance that the meteor which fell near Linton last week may be buried in the ground and in one piece, Prof. W. A. Cogshall and Prof. A. C. Malott of Indiana University, plan to start, digging in the crater within the next few days. If they find this “fallen star" it will be the property of Fred Streitelmeier, owner of the farm on which it landed, Prof. Cogshall said today. “I haven’t any idea what he would do with it,” he added. “Our school doesn t have an appropriation to buy meteors, but he might be able to sell it to some museum. The last time I heard, meteors were quoted at about $1 a pound.” It was believed first the meteor may have exploded when it hit the ground. Yesterday a piece of iron about the size of a man's fist was found near the crater, leading scientists to believe the meteor still may be buried.
