100,000 EXPECTED TO VOTE IN COUNTY; LANDON TESTS DUE

Party Leaders Predict Record Turnout Here Tomorrow. POLICE ARE ASSIGNED Morrissey and Ray Detail Special Officers to Prevent Trouble. BY ARCH STEINEL Marion County and Indiana voters are to go to the polls at 6 tomorrow morning to take Democratic or Republican ballots and indicate their choices for party nominees in the general election in November. Leaders of both parties in Marion County forecast a record turn-out at the 328 precincts before the polls close at 6 p. m. They expect more than 100,000 to go to the polls if the weather is clear. (Other Political Stories Page 20) The county races are: Congress, 11th and 12th Districts; five state Senators and 11 state Representatives; two county commissioners, First and Third Districts; sheriff, coroner, prosecuting attorney, treasurer, surveyor, delegates to state conventions to name the parties’ state tickets, and precinct committeemen for county party organization. Office to Aid Voters Voters who wish to learn the location of their voting place may call the County Election Board, Riley 8591. County Clerk Glenn B. Ralston also urged voters to call there in case of voting difficulties. Chief Morrissey and Sheriff Ray assured voters of protection at the polls by assigning 100 patrolmen, 175 special watchers, squad cars and roving deputies to quell any disturbance. Each precinct will have a special election sheriff on guard to protect a voter's rights. The hottest races, according to observers, a r >: Democrats—Sheriff’s race, Sheriff Ray, Claude E. Shover and Virgil H. Fox; county treasurer, Frank E. McKinney and Miss Hannah Noone; county commissioners First Dis- ; trtet, John S. Newhouse and Paul Russe. Republican Races Listed Republican prosecutor's race, Thomas McNulty, John L. Niblack, William Henry Harrison and Harrison White; Congress. Twelfth Distr ft , Homer Elliott, Albert J. Beveridge Jr., Alexander Belle and Louis Frank Treat; county commissioner, First District, Walter Capp and George E. Kincaid. While the individual races on the Democratic ticket were spotlighted in political conversations, the main question seemed to be “Will the Democratic organization or antiorganization candidates win?" The Democratic for nomination, ticketed by observers, as being opposed by the organization are; Sheriff Ray, Miss Noone, Mr. Russe, Dr. John E. Wytsenbach, county coroner candidate; State Senator Leo X. Smith, and Henry J. Richardson, Negro state Representative. Greenlee’s Success Involved Involved in the battle between the two factions of the Democratic Party is the success or failure of Pleas Greenlee, gubernatorial candidate, to break into the Marion County delegation to the state convention and obtain some of the 231 delegates who, it was believed, originally would go to E. Kirk McKinney. Mr. Greenlee made the ‘‘anti-organization’’ fight in the county his fight throughout the campaign. In the background are other issues. which observers say may be decided at the polls tomorrow. They are: 1.

Results of Primaries in Two Western States Are Important. MARYLAND POLL TODAY Col. Breckinridge Opposes President Roosevelt in Eastern List. By Untied Press WASHINGTON, May 4—Gov. Alf M. Landon’s drive toward the Republican presidential nomination carries him tomorrow to vital primaries in California and South Dakota. Reverses in those states would hurt Landon even though they might not stop him. Maryland commands immediate interest of Democratic politicians with today's presidential primary. Col. Henry C. Breckinridge of New York is entered against President Roosevelt. Maryland’s delegation to the Republican national convention probably will be pledged to the “favorite son" candidacy of Gov. Harry Nice. With votes to deliver on the convention floor, Nice mighi be able to make a deal for the vice presidential nomination. Mr. Roosevelt’s success In the Maryland primary is discounted in advance. He swamped Breckinridge last week in Pennsylvania. But Republican voters in South Dakota and California may brighten or tarnish the political prospects of outstanding G. O. P. leaders. In South Dakota an uninstructed delegation favorable to Landon is opposed to a slate pledged formally to Borah. If Borah is to remain in the race he must make a showing against Landon. Their last significant meeting was in the April 14 Nebraska primary, where Borah formally was a candidate. Approximately one in five Nebraska Republican voters took the trouble to scratch Borah and write in the name of the Governor of Kansas as their presidential choice. The write-in vote was a boost for Landon, who might have out-polled Borah if he had permitted his name to be placed before the electorate there, in Massachusetts last week a write-in movement gave Landon a 10-to-l margin over Mr. Hoover, who was the Bay State second choice. Hoover Must Show Strength Mr. must demonstrace his hold on California Tuesday if he is to be close enough to party councils in Cleveland to make himself heard when the time comes to pick a man and platform. Landon probably could survive reverses in South Dakota and California. But if delegates sympathetic to him are named in both states, his position as favorite in the G. O. P. sweepstakes will be enforced with unmistakable emphasis. California’s Democrats have a choice among three slates of delegates pledged variously to President Roosevelt, Upton Sinclair of the End Poverty in California” League, and Rep. John S. McGroarty, Democratic sponsor of the Townsend old-age pension plan. Any of the three delegations would be counted for Roosevelt at the Philadelphia convention. GUFFEY CASE AGAI¥ DELAYED BY COURT Recess Due, New Record Certain for Study on New Deal Law. By United Pres* WASHINGTON, May 4.—The Supreme Court today made certain a new record for consideration of New Deal cases by failing to hand down its decision in the Guffey Coal Act test. This means the decision can not be presented before May 18, as the court takes a two weeks’ recess after today. By that time the court will have had the cases before it 67 days. The previous record was the 60-day period required on the TVA opinion. BOY SWALLOWS PIN; NOW EATS COTTON £_ Lad, 11, Taken to Hospital After Accident.

UNITY 1$ VOTED BY METHODISTS Plan of Union Approved, 470-83, at Parley in Columbus, 0. By United Press COLUMBUS, 0., May 4.—The Methodist Episcopal Church today accepted by a viva voce vote the plan of union with the Methodist Episcopal Church, south, and the Methodist Protestant Church. The vote was 470 to 83. The plan of union, which has been proposed by a joint commission on interdenominational relations and church union of the three churches, was submitted for a vote after more than three hours debate on the floor of the thirty-second general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church here. Under the plan, the three principal Methodist bodies of the world would be united with a total membership of about 8.000,000. The new church would be known simply as the Methodist Church. Before the plan become effective, it must be adopted by three-fourths of the smaller conferences of the M. E. Church, and by the governing bodies of the other two churches. It was believed final action w'ould not be taken for two or three years. Stubbprn opposition to the merger was voiced by a minority group, which included several Negro delegates. UNITY VOTE HAILED BY LOCAL PASTORS Action Is Seen as Great Methodist Victory. Two Indianapolis Methodist ministers today termed action of Methodist Episcopal conference at Columbus, 0., in approving the merger of the three Methodist bodies as a “victory for the forces of righteousness” and “one of the greatest Methodist achievements in a century.’* The Rev. Richard M. Millard, Broadway M. E. Church pastor, said: “It is a great victory for the forces looking toward the ultimate union of all Christian churches. It means a greater future both for the church and the ration. It is a victory for the forces of righteousness.” The Rev. Charles D. Skinner, Cen-tral-av M. E. Church pastor, said: “It is one of the greatest achievements in our century. The church will go forward as a united body, undivided by sectionalism.

• MONDAY, MAY 4,1936

Italian soldiers (one of them a mere boy) raise their daggers to the sky in salute to Premier Mussolini, after they had participated in the capture of the Ethiopian city of Dessye. The town, an important military and political center, once was the headquarters of Emperor Haile Selassie s northern armies.

Case Closed By United Press NEW YORK, May 4.—The Department of Justice is convinced that the late Bruno Richard Hauptmann was the man who climbed into the window of the Lindbergh home at Hopewell, N. J., and took Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. to his death, J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Bureau of Investigation said today. Hoover stressed that since Hauptmann’s arrest in the summer of 1934 not a single bill of the $50,000 ransom paid over by Dr. John F. (Jafsie) Condon has been found, despite recurrent rumors. “Although there might be a possibility that Hauptmann had accomplices, the government is convinced that he was the prime factor in the Lindbergh case,” he said.

WORLEY IS FREED, JAIL TERM LIFTED Ex-Police Chief Released by Baltzell. Claude M. Worley, former Indianapolis police chief, convicted of income tax evasion in 1932, was given his freedom today after Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell suspended a year’s sentence in the county jail. Mr. Worley was returned here Saturday upon completion of a fiveyear term, minus time off for good behavior, in the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kas. Val Nolan, United States district attorney, opposed the suspension in a motion filed with the court. BURNS ARE FATAL TO 9-MONTHS-OLD GIRL Infant Scalded When Brother, 4, Upsets Hot Water. Joyce Goldsby, 9 months, died today in City Hospital of burns received yesterday when her 4-year-old brother, Donald, pulled a pan of scalding water from the stove.

Rotunda of State Capitol Becomes Fish Hatchery

Some 1,500.000 motherless walleyed pike and 70.000 ring perch were being born at the astonishing rate of a couple of hundred a second in the Statehouse rotunda today under the auspices of the State Department of Conservation. Eggs were placed in glass con- | tainers which look like giant test ; tubes. After the fish are hatched they swim to the top of the tubes and fall into a sort of tin bath tub. Unlike human infants, their diet problems don’t start for a few days. Some of the egg yolk clings to the

BOY THROWN IN RIVERJROWNS Bullies Antagonize Youths, Push’One to His Death; Body Recovered. Two sadistic boys who pushed 12-year-old John Earl Payne into White River and then forced his 10-year-old brother, George, to watch him drown were hunted by police today. Caught in eddies at the foot of a dam near Gardner Lane-rd, John’s body sank in more than 40 feet of water. The body was recovered by Sergt. Frank Gallagher and his squad today after police had dragged the river for several hours. It was found close to the point where John had been pushed in. One of the boys, described as 13 to 14 years old, had long hair and wore a blue shirt and green corduroy pants. He was with a companion called “Dutch." Fish at Dam John and George went to the river yesterday afternoon with Albert Hansbrow, 9, of 443 S. Ala-bama-st, and John Collins, 10, who lives on South-st. They were fishing at the dam when John found an injured bird. He was stroking its feathers and trying to keep it warm when two older boys came up the bank and started a fight. One of them snatched the bird from John and threw it into the liver with the remark, “Let’s see if it can swim.” John started to cry, and the boys threw a catfish he had caught back into the water. John tried to fight off the older boys, but they picked him up and hurled him over a fivefoot bank into the rushing water. Geoyje and his two companions tried to aid John, who was screaming. “We could have gotten him out.” George said, “if the two bigger boys hadn’t pushed us back ind held us.” At 424 S. Alabama-st, John’s home, his parents and six brothers and sisters were overcome with grief today. Frank Payne, the father, a laborer for the Republic Creosote Cos., accompanied police to search for the body. Amy Mollison Seeks Record By United Press GRAVESEND, England, May 4.

Then they will have to hunt for their own dinners, which usually consist of small insects. They must avoid larger fish, who would eat them. Adults have to resist temptation in the form of fancy colored bait which occasionally is tossed at them.

MARAUDING ETHIOPIANS ATTACK U. S. LEGATION, REPULSED IN GUN FIGHT

SECRET PACT CLASSIFIED AS PEACE TWEAT Rabbi Isserman Explains Purported Treaty at Local Parley. “The most immediate threat of war today lies in a purported secret treaty between Japan and Germany for the partition of Russia,” Rabbi Ferdinand M. Isserman, St. Louis,’ student of international relations. said today. Rabbi Isserman, who has spent the last three years in Europe and who unofficially has attended League of Nations council meetings, said at the all-day mass meeting of the Emergency Peace Campaign today in the Claypooi, in addition to Germany and Japan, Italy was the third power most likely to cause a war. The Indianapolis meeting is part of a nation-wide Emergency Peace Campaign conducted in 300 cities. The object is to keep the United States out of war. Briton to Speak Dean F. D. Kershner, the Rev. M. W. Clair Jr. and Joseph H. Friend i presided at the morning forum, and Mr. Clair spoke on “The Threat of War in Europe and Africa.” The Rt. Hon. George Lansbury, veteran labor leader of the British Parliament, was to speak at a luncheon in the Riley Room at noon. His subject* was to be “The Peace Campaign’s Significance.” He was to be introduced by Mayor Kern. Ray Newton, Philadelphia, secretary of the American Friends Service Committee peace section, was to spea;. on the “Procedure of the Peace Campaign,” at the same time. Rabbi Isserman said: “These powers are all Fascist states. The philosophy of Fascism not only declares war to be necessary but desirable. It regards the state as the supreme good of life, which almost becomes a mystic entity and which supplants God as an object of worship.” Outlines Secret Pact Under the terms of the secret treaty, he said, Japan is to attack Russia in the east for the maritime provinces of Siberia, and Germany is to attack Russia in the west with the hope of acquiring the Ukraine, called the breadbasket of Europe. He said that Japan has been preparing for such a war for a long time but has been waiting Germany’s rearmament, and remilitarization. “This threat of the w'ar,” he said, ‘ in the East can not be a matter of unconcern for Americans. The only way that we can avoid being involved in the next war is to be alert, make sure that the desire for peace is articulate and organized. That desire must make itself felt in Washington, both in the White House and in the Capitol. Conferences Are Arranged At 2:30 conferences, “What Changes Should Be Made in the United States Foreign Policy” and “An Effective Peace Program for Local Communities” are to be considered. Mr. Newton is to be the principal speaker. Resolutions are expected to be introduced at the open forum from 3:30 to 4:30, directed by Rabbi Elias Charry. Gov. McNutt Is to welcome Mr. Lansbury at the mass meeting at 8 in Cadle Tabernacle, and the Rev. Bert R. Johnson, general chairman, is to preside. A combined choir from local Negro churches is to sing three spirituals. The campaign opened April 21. ATTACK ON TAX BILL AROUSES HABBISON Senator Charges Attempt to Delay Measure. By United Press WASHINGTON, May 4—Bankers and business men charged today that the W 03.000.000 tax bill would affect seriously the nation’s credit system and drew a sharp retort from Chairman Pat Harrison that a propaganda campaign is under way to “delay this legislation.” Interrupting the testimony of representatives of the United States Chamber of Commerce, who contended the measure would “put a premium” on bankruptcies in the United States, Harrison denounced what he contended was a campaign to delay action on the measure. Senator Tom Connally <D., Tex.) j argued with Henry B. Fernald of the Chamber of Commerce as to whether the bill would increase the number of bankruptcies, saying that the costs of receivership and the injury to prestige would keep companies from seeking relief under the exemptions granted in the bill. Ellsworth C. Alvord, also representing the chamber, urged that the bill be scrapped and that no new taxes be imposed until the New Deal prepared a sound fiscal program.

Italians Camp at City’s Edge, Await Arrival of Main Force. BANDITS TAKE TO HILLS Foreigners Are Barricaded; Fires Still Smoulder Throughout Town. (Copyright. 1936. by United Press) ADDIS ABABA, May 4. Italian natives camped on the outskirts of the capital of Ethiopia today awaiting the arrival of their main force { before marching in. Between them and their objective white flags fly on the native huts 1 along the highway from Dessye. Foreigners remain barricaded in the legations and missions, watching the smoldering fires which almost have destroyed the city. Bandits Take to Hills At dusk last night, for the first time in 36 hours, the streets became quiet as bandits took the hills outside the city. The mutilated bodies of men and beasts killed in the bandit orgy filled the streets. It is estimated that more than 500.000 shots weie fired by native bandits over the week-end. * So far as was known the only foreigner killed was Mrs. A. R. Stadin, Loma Linda. Cal., killed in her sleep at dawn yesterday by a bullet which went through the galvanized roof of the Seventh Day Adventist Mission. Dr. Andre John Melly, chief of the British Red Cross missions, was shot through the lungs yesterday afternoon while he was dragging wounded natives off the streets. Taken to the British legation, was given a blood transfusion, and it was believed he would survive. Gain Gold Supply In a week-end of wild disorder, marked by attacks of all sorts, the fiercest fighting was concentrated at the government gold reserve building. There mobs stormed the defenders, facing point blank machine gun fire, chopped off the hands of those at the guns after reaching the building over the corpses of their comrades, and captured the entire gold store. Ethiopian Red Cross headquarters was demolished. Dr. T. A. Lambie, chief of the Ethiopian Red Cross—an American naturalized as an Ethiopian—and the personnel of the mission barricaded themselves in a building, behind barbed wire, and beat off bandit attackers. Capital Ghostly Wreck There was a savage attack on the Turkish legation. Not until 12 of their men had been killed, did the bandits flee. The United Press automobile was fired on and a shot went through the windshield. The capital is a ghastly wreck.

Other Foreign Offices Also Under Fire: Several Killed, Wounded. AWAIT ITALIAN TROOPS Rome Army Is Expected to Restore Order: Haile on Way to Palestine. By United Press LONDON, May 4.—The foreign office was advised late today by Sir Sidney Barton, British minister to Addis Ababa, that a truckload of armed sikh troops . had been sent to the beleaguered United States legation from the British compound. (Copyright. 1936, bv United Press) Pillaging natives, inflamed by impending Italian occupation of Addis Ababa, attacked the American and other foreign legations today. Several white persons were reported killed or wounded as they stood off the crazed natives, A stalwart little band of Americans in the United Stales legation compound fought off one attack by looting Ethiopians, but was so hard pressed that an appeal had to be made to the British for a machine gun and soldiers. Two native women in the American quarters were wounded. Previously Mrs. A. R. Stadin, wife of an American missionary doctor, had been killed by a stray bullet. Await Italians’ Arrival All regular communications had failed long ago as Emperor Haile Selassie fled from his capital for Jerusalem and the natives pillaged and burned much of the city. The story of bloodshed, rioting and chaos in the capital was pieced together from terse dispatches sent over United States. British and French diplomatic wireless stations. Restoration of order awaited arrival of the triumphant Italians. Native contingents already wqre encamped on the outskirts of the city. Plight of the handful of Americans barricaded in the legation compound was told graphically in messages to Washington from Minister Cornelius Van H. Engert. Turn Bark Attackers Ethiopian bandits attacked at 9 a. m. All the white women, except Mrs. Engert, had been taken to the fortified British compound previously. She w-as in the garden when the natives opened firs. Some of the men had gone to aid a hospital. With revolvers, rifles' shotguns, swords and spears the few remaining Americans beat off the attack, killing or wounding at least one bandit. Then the infuriated natives returned. Mr. Engert twice tried to send an appeal for help to the British, four miles across the city. The messengers could not get through. Finally, to get his appeal through those four miles, he had to send it thousands of miles by radio. Asks British Troops By radio he asked the State Department in Washington to have the British send them “a Lewis gun and a few sikhs”—lndian fighting troops who compose the British legation guard. Washington telephoned the request to London, which was unable to relay it at once because it had lost its wireless contact with the legation in Addis Ababa. At 5 p. m. (Addis Ababa time) Mr. Engert wirelessed Washington: “The situation is getting worse. | Several direct shots have been fired at the legation building, including the radio station, since this morning. Two native women in our servants’ quarters have been seriously wounded.” French Legation Attacked At about the same time, the French minister wirelessed Paris that the natives were attacking his legation. British newsmen reported over the government wireless that 10 foreigners had been killed so far and that much of the city had been burned by the natives. The vanquished Haile Selassie, meantime, boarded the British cruiser Enterprise at Djibouti, French Somaliland. Foreign Minister Anthony Eden informed the British House of Commons that the Negus has renounced all pretense at directing Ethiopian affairs—which means to all practical purposes that he has abdicated. In Rome, with the hour of complete Italian triumph close at hand. Premier Benito Mussolini told the Chamber of Deputies that he had ordered a mobilization of all Fas- ! cists for an unspecified time, at ! which “I will make the announcement you are expecting"—the oceuI pation of Addis Ababa. 1 Standard Oil Increase* Dividends ; By United Pees* CHICAGO.
