Senator New Much Cheered by Reports Coming From AH Parts of State By MAURICE EARLY Ti H ES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL LVDIANAPOLIS. April IS. Substantial gains for United States Senator Harry S. New in the campiign against Albert J. Beverldge for the Republican senatorial nomination art reported from many sections of Indiana from authoritative sources. These reports are not of the kind emanating from the various political headquarters, but are based on observations cf urvbiased persons. Senator Nw, who Is In Indianapolis spending a few days looking over the situation, is much cheered by these satisfactory reports and Is confident of winning renomination in the May primary. The senator said the reports only serve to increase his optimism over the final results. One of the unbiased reports which gave great enthusiasm is the fact that Senator New Is regarded as certain to carry Evansrille and Vanderburg county. Mr. Bevcr.Uso 1 as Just completed some intensive campaigning 1a Evansvllls. but indications there, according"-to the political observers, are that Yanderburg county will roll up a hanCs-rt! vote in sup-port of Senator New and the Harding administration. The Beveridge forces hare bs.i claiming Evansville as territory favorable to their candldT.e. Another N;w stronghold in Southern Indiana, which withstood the t ecer.t Eeverldge Invasion and is !:iw even stronger for the senator, is Knox county anfi Vincennes. Practically 'every Republican of rrorr.inenc !n the "old Post" is supporting New and the Eeverldge crowd have given up hope of trylnjr to p.ake any sort of a showing in Indiana's eldest city. With faction pttted against faction in Indianapolis, Senator New Is admitted to have the "edge." Although Mayor Shank and the city hall crowd are supporting Beveridge, even to the extent of discharging city employes who will rot line up fot their candidate. Senator New is expected to carry Inclanapolla and Marion county by a substantial vote. Ex-Mayor Charles TV. Jewett. Ralph Lemeke. county treasurer, and other well known Indianapolis Republican leaders are giving their support to the New campaign. The mudsllnglng tactics adopted fry the Beverldg speakers In their recent tour of southern Indiana have done, much injury to the weakening cause of the ex-senator, according to observers, While there is a general apathy toward the senatorial campaign in most sections cf the state, how far the fcot words being spoken on both sides at this time will rzo toward bringing out a large vote remains to be seen, BeverwJge, accompanied by a number of hla spellbinders, is invading Northern Indiana anl Lake county this week in a last attempt to hreak into the New strongholds. R0TAR1AN SHARER TALK TO KIWAN1ANS I'r. H. E. Rharrer, a member of the Rotary club, was the guest of the Klwanis club at ljncheon today and gave one of the most inspiring and herpful talks that the Kiwa-nlins-hiv ever liBtened to during their eventful career. The "pe-p" king was at his best. He praised the cluh for the things it had done during the past year, and said that the mnintenar.ee of a swimming tank for the kids 1n the old H. A. A. park last summer had endeared the club to every boy In town. "Don't be Vnife and fork Klwanians." urgd the doctor. "You've done a let of mighty fine things for the town and we know you will do many more. But remember, you can't do enough. The more of unselfish service you put Into ' this thing the better yoti will like it. Let's stamp out the knocker. He's a cancer in cny city.

ROTARY CLUB STARTED ITS THIRD YEAR

The F.otary C'.ub today started on its third year in earnest with. one of the most iltasint and active meetings in its history. The president, Morse Dell Plain, was the subject of impromptu toasts from our members who did the honors well enough although they invaded upon the modesty of the new president. Mel Monnett, eminent tobacconist, J in a classification talk explained the history, composition and method of judging everything that smokers 1 delight in from Turkish ciaarettes j to Havanna cigars and from MIsi souri Meerchaum to Calabash pipes. He also explained the impossibility of Judging a man by the (brand he amokos as there is such a diversity of tastes that one frequently flnas the millionaire smoking the stogy and the day laborer the fifty cent cigar. Some humorist asked (.he meaning of the names of Mel's favorite brands. El Toro and El Sogo. and also the author of "A woman Is only a woman but a good cigar is a smoke." Mel surprised them all by answering more or less correctly. Bob Gillia. Breaking regarding the meaning of Rotary likened It to a beautiful edifice supported by foui columns: Fellowship. Education. Character ar.d Service. He developed the allegory in detail in the most interesting way. illustrating the meaning of each of these columns by referring to men and events which everyone could see the mean ing as soon as it was pointed out. Bill Beatty of the Hammond Park Board. In answering ' inquiries regarding the park situation, reported progress and presented a sketch of the proposed development at Turner park. This tentative plan aroused the Interest and enthusiasm of everyone who saw it. Ijt certainly begins to look as though' Hammond is about to shake off th old motto that "The first hundred years is the hardest" and take its proper station at the head of the procession In the matter of parks. Everybody of course has fot to help the Park Board to accomplish this and the best way to do this is to attend its meetirgs and secure a proper understanding of what Is needed., With such an understandingthe determination to help will readily follow. Among the distinguished guests of th day were Judge Anderson and Marshall Soren of the Federal court. Conspiracy to bribe federal prohibition officers is charged in the federal indictments against George Remus, Chicago lawyer, and eight others, it was announced late yesterday at Indianapolis. Remus, whose connection with the great Cincinnati whiskey ring was established through evidence, unearthed by Gus Simons, former chief of prohibition officers at Hammond, bad already surrendered to U. S. Marshal Mark Storen last week and furnished bail. Names of others involved were made public after it was learned thV a grand Jury at Cincinnati had also Indicted them'. They are Harry A. Brown, George Conners, George Dater, John Gehrum and Clem Herbes, all of Cincinnati, and "Buck" Brady, of Covington, Ky. The story ht their irregularities In the operation of distilleries at Covington. .Ky., Lawretnceburg, Ind., and Cincinnati, was published some time by the pair are worthless. They're held at police station. FREE language. That's period in dally classes in primary grades when children are encouraged to talk about everything. Yesterday at the Irving school, a youngster in first grade sprung this: "Whn my big sister's beau calls she always takes all the kewpie dolls off the mantel and the piano, t?h Bays they're old fashioned and out-of-date." BY the way. Judge Anderson passed the night In Hammond last night the first time in many years. A long while ago he stopped at a Hammond hotel and was poisoned or something and. since theii he had always gone to Chicago hotels while holding court in Hammond. Another thing. He hadn't used his parasol up to press time. How flmes do change. CHARLES W. VAN- SICKLE, D4 Plummer avenue, operator of cornice works, identifies tools stolen from his shop and found in possession of Andrew Leshnak, Torrence avenue. He is held at police station on charge of grand larceny, after being arrested by Chicago police and returned to Hammond. Detec tives F. Fandrei and Kunz say Lesh nak is old hand at pilfering. LE33 than the union scale. That's complaint of robbers who got It cents after carrying off cash regis ter from store of John B. Kamlnski, at 734 Summer st., early this morning. John called the cops at 3:30 a. m. Captain Austgen headed a flying squadron to the address. They found the register in the back yard. In front window out kitchen window, that was speed of thieves.

Deal, May Be Closed Tonight for 40 Acre Tract In Michigan. Here's some important news for Hammond Boy Scouts and their lerion of friends. By tonight the deal may be closed by which the Hammond Scout coun cil actually purchases its own summer camp site. : Think of it fellows. Nearly forty acres of the prettiest (scouting land you ever saw. Real high hills on it. Trees, bigger than two boys can reach around and all klnds of them, ak, maple, birch, hickory, poplar, ash, elm, beech and so on. Flowers blooming right now. Birds aplenty. Fine places for building bridges and such work. And best of all a spacious safe bathing. beach. Attorney L. L. Bomberger, chairman of the summer camp committee, and W. C, Bet man, treasurer of the Hammond council, left this morning for Barricn Spring, Mich., to give the Kite a thorough inspection. Scout Executife Scott and President R. C. Pierce have -alrca.' placed their O. K. on it. The camp was practically made to j order on the St. Joseph river, two I miles from Berrien Springs for the I scouts of Barrien county, Mich, j Other influences changed plans so that a lake sito was chosen, leavinr the river site open for purchase by some outside scout council. Hammond has the chance. The river is nearly a mile wide at this point due to the power dam at Berrien Springs. The river water is clear and warm in summer. A perfect bathing beach was made by owners of the property before the dam was completed. The beach is aw.iy from the main channel of the stream in ashelterevd stretch of back water where the current is barely enough to keep the 'water from becoming, stagnant. It Is just the right depth for swimming with no dangerous deep places. This camp Is just three miles from the Berrien county summer camp which will permit arrangement of contests and friendly visits between ' Scouts of Hammond and Michigan. : The. trip can he made by rail to Barrien Sprng or, 1t is figured, the boys can go to Chicago, across the lake on a boat to Benton Harbor and then by truck to the camp. The far for such a trip would be only. $1.00. The site is offered for sale at $S,000 which members of the oouncil consider reasonable. Its purchase will put an end to the annual uncertainty which has attended former camps. Hammond will have a camp of its own. L T TChiting Doctor to Be Buried With MilitaryHonors.
