SECRET SERVICE SEEKING CLOSER POLICE CONTACT

Loy Tours State to Confer With City and County Officers of Law.

~ Greater co-operation between the United States Secret Service here and lpcal law enforcement agencies throughout the State is the goal of a “sounding board tour” begun today. George B. Loy, head of the Secret ~ Service for Indiana, started a weeklong trip over the State to visit with county sheriffs, prosecutors and chiefs of police to get suggestions on methods for securing closer co-op-eration in catching persons believed to have committed Federal crimes.

Checks Being Forged

" Indiana merchants are losing between $2000 and $3000 monthly in

commit this Federal crime. Referring’ to his “sounding-board tour,” Mr. Lay said: - “It ne has been tried Pefore and you never know where you might get a good suggestion. We've always taken the attitude [that the big thing ‘is to catch the criminal, we don’t care who catches him.” ‘Mz. Loy said it has been the practice of Secret Service agents to stop -and see police chiefs and sheriffs in the territory where Federal agents were working but that no trips had been made for the specific purpose of getting better acquainted.

Local Aid Sought

“We need the assistance of the law enforcers in the State so they will call us when a Federal crime is suspected. Our work is like that of a| fire department. When we get a call, |

it’s. urgent and we have to get out to

it right away. Our office is undermanned but with more co-operation from other officers we can do a great deal mare.” Mr. Loy said there is very little counterfeiting in the state now and the work formed a minor portion of Secret Service investigating as compared to tracing and arresting persons who forge Government checks.

Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Health Officer, said today that a peak in whooping cough cases probably would be reached late! this week. Starting early in May, the disease gradually has spread among the City’s youngsters, reaching a fouryear weekly high of 130 cases last week. This is a total of 377 cases reported so far this month, coin-

when the Park Board and the com- |

pany failed to agree on a price. The Board is offering an average price! of $150 an acre for the mile-long! strip. It is understood that the] company is asking $200, but may come down on the price.

Parkland Is Sought

Board members, in any case, plan to acquire at least 100 acres of parkland as part of an expansion program planned for next year which incJudes addition af 15 playground sites to the present number of 38 playgrounds. About $15,000 will be requested in the Park Department's 1940 budget for land purchase. Of this, about $10,000 will be earmarked for a new park on the south or south» west sectjons. It is understood that Board members first asked the Railways com-

pany to donate the 130-acre strip, | but withdrew the request when they |

were informed that the company had to retire a bond issue on the

property.

Artists Win His Praise

Mr. Bush has the highest regard | for those who go in for the fine arts. “They are modest,” he said. “They are of the _ highest caliber. They {have a different feeling toward things. They see beauty and art in ‘everything. They never see the ugly. ” In the kitchen of his home he demonstrated some of the poses which he used to do. The straining of muscles seemed to be most important. He still has the Strength to do the difficult.

DRY GROUPS AT HOPE OPPOSE BEER BEER PERMIT

COLUMBUS, 2 ind. July 24 (U.P). —Dry forces of Hope today planned another campaign to prevent is-

suance of a retail beer license to George S. Cook, a Columbus hotel proprietor. Mr. Cook applied to the Alcoholic Beverages Commission for a license to sell beer last week. Rev. Ernest Drebert, Hope Moravian Church pastor, said dry forces of the town led by ministers and W. C. T. U. officers, would oppose granting of the application at a hearing here next month. Five pravious applicants during the past two years failed to secure licenses when more than 100 drys attended hearings.

and the more recent emergency following, the death of Maennerchor’s generous patron, J. P. Frenzel, when

the society moved from its own

Academy. of Music to the Athe-

naeum. But there have been more years

of cloudless prosperity. Mr. Binninger likes to recall the days of the great national Saengerfests, and the opera productions which the Maennerchor gave. He remembers

the pre-War days when the active and passive membership totaled 400, and when each concert saw a

; distinguished visiting artist as solo-

ist. Mr. Binninger was asked for a statement of ‘just what his 40 years of fun, work and worry had meant to him. The request: was met with a helpless, incredulous silence. 1t was like asking a happy person if he enjoyed being alive. “Why, the chorus was my only recreation,” he finally managed to say. “I didn’t play golf or bridge or such things, but I fairly lived at the

Maennerchor. It always was : a pleasure to go and associate with a bunch of fine boys.” Asked if the good-fellowship was the chief attraction, he answered, “I should say hot. 1 love to sing. I belonged to/several quartets, and when it came to serenading, 1 was one of them. We were always ser= enading old people i their birthe days or young newlyweds. That was the Maennerchor.” So next fall Franz Binninger will be starting his 41st season with his usual enthusiasm. The chorus changes from year to year (today only about half are of Germa Te entage), but it’s still the Maenner= chor to Mr. Binninger. “I've been in it too long,” he

says, “to let everything happen te it now.”
