INDIANAPOLIS, June iV. (UP)— The elimination of flagrant instances where intcrnrban tracks needlessly cross back and forth over state highways was demanded today by the Hoosier State Automobile Association through a committee consisting of Jas. X, McCoy of Vincennes, Chas. .W. Lanz of Bedford, and James 1„ Gavin of Indianapolis. The committee today took the matter up with the Publie Service Commission, the State Highway Commission, and the Attorney General. One of the worst instances as an entirely unwarranted interference with traffic and a constant menace to life and property is a short stretch of approximately fifteen miles between Brazil and Terre Haute on l\ S. No. JO, more generally knowi a- the National Old Trails Road where the tracks of the T. H. I. & V Railway cross hack and forth six es. While the committee made i' plain (hat they were eager to avoid any undue financial hardship upoi anybody concerned, that nevertheless the fact remained that seven hundred pnoplu are being killed each year in Indiana in accidents where the automobile i involved; probably ten thousand are being injured, to say nothing of the property damage in collisions, and that everything that can be done hnuld be done to eliminate this terrifying condition. It was pointed out that when thi interurhan tracks were established along the highway, no one anticipat ed the pre.sent day development oi automobile traffic. Had present con ditions been anticipated, undoubtedly fills would have been made along th< right of way on which to place th tiacks instead of deliberately cross ing the road just to get on the otho’ side where it was unnecessary ti make a fill, or otherwise arrange ti prevent crossing and re-crossing the road as is now most urgently needed. The following communication was addressed to the State Highway Pom-
mission—
“You are respectfully informed that the Hoosier State Autnmobib Association will file with the Publi. Service Pommission of Indiana a request for an order for the elimina tion of grade crossings on the National Highway (U. S. No. 40) by, the Terre Haute, Indianapolis anil, Fa-tern Railway between Terre Haute and Brazil. "This association has the most I earnest desire for the elimination of these dangerous crossings and wish to respectfully invite your heartiest co-operation in this action. “We further suggest that youv Commission, separately o r jointly, with tjie Public Service Commission, tequest of the Attorney General an opinion ns to whether the Highway Pommission or the Public Sendee Commission, each or both, have the liirht to order the tracks of the T. H I. & E. railway removed as mentioned herein. "As soon as you have learned what vr.ur legal course of procedure in this matter is we request that the Highway Commission demand that the tracks of the T. H. 1. & E. railway In placed either on ope side or the other of the State Highway Commission’s pavement, this action being in line with th<« large expenditures that you are making to widen the right of wav all along the National Rond, and at the same time eliminate nR of the tiafTie hazards you can that stand a- a constant and unnecessary men-
ace to life."
The committee of directors from
the automobile association stated afu-i their conferences with the different authmities interviewed that they were accorded the most courteous and sympathetic treatment and | that everybody seemed to realize I dearly that with conditions as they | are now, that it takes no stretch of imagination to realize that in the near future there x\ill be tremendous increases in automobile traffic, esjieeally on the main traveled thoroughfares and that by all means the time s now here when drastic action should be taken for the interests of •veryhody including the traction lins, with the thought of preventing accidents that occur at these unexpected aisl unnecessary and entirely do frequent crossings. ANTI-MI 1TH GROUP MEETS ROAN ARE, Va., June 1!» (IT)— The strangest political alignment since reconstruction days presented itself today, as erstwhile solid south Democrats and a deceptive Republiau party apparently joined to fight the influence of Alfred E. Smith and ,'uhn J. Roskob, and supplant the nesent regular state Democratic organization. More ambitious plans for spreading the Anti-Smith Doctrine throughout the south also were formulated with approval of a headquarters in Washington for carrying op the work. More than 1,000 ardent Anti-Smith Democrats assembled at the instigation of Bishop James Cannon, Jr., and a committee of 18, dosed their one day rump convention last night iftor accomplishing a surprising mimier of things, inch-/ling: Nomination of a partial slate, head'd by Dr. William Mosely Brown, of Washington and Leo University, for Governor, as the coalition choices to oppose regular state Denioora>c canlidates next full. SEEKS ADMISSION TO U. S. BERLIN, June 1!* (IT)—Unconfirmed reports from Constantinople to the Telegraph Union said Leon I’rotzky, exiled Soviet Chieftain, vould seek through the American federation of labor to gain entry into he United States. The reports added hat Trotzky, if admitted would reive his Newspaper Novy Mir which ic abandoned in 1914. 1 FILLMORE Mr. and Mrs. Carl Phillips spent Sunday at Eel River Falls.

The boys said they had hiked to Wavoland and hoarded the train there for tin- return trip. As the train entered Crawfordsville, it did not slow down, so they pulled a rod setting the air brakes. The train stopped within a short distance and the boys fled, but were taken into custody only a few blocks distant.

DRY HEAD RESIGNS SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 19. (UP)- Edward R. Buhner, prohibition udministratoi for northern California and Nevada, has wired his resignation, to Washington, it was revealed today. For more than a month the ndministration here ha- been the target of graft charges by officials of the AntiSaloon League. It also has been embroiled in indictment of six dry agents on charges of stealing government property. Bohner who took over the dry administration here March 1, 1927, tendered his resignation to become effective August 7. He refused to discuss the action other than to =ay he had “decided to get out of the prohibition business.” IS BUSY MAN By addressing the graduating clashes of 25 high schools this spring, Dr. W. II. McLean, assistant to President Oxnam, has just ended one of the heaviest commencement schedules he ever has had. This year, Mr. McLean lias spoken in some of the larger high schools including ones in Chicago, Indianapolis, Crawfordsville, Union City, North Vernon, and North Madison. Mr. McLean has been a popular speaker to graduating class* s, and has been influential for DePauw because of the personal contact of a university official with various communities at commencement time. The subjects of his most popular addresses are: “Ideals of Youth,” “The Legend of leadership," "Know Thyself,” “Problems of Conduct,” "The Life That Responds,” ami “Where Will You Be Ten Year? frorh Today?” The Rev. Me lean is preaching nearly every Sunday, and during the month of August he will preach at the Meridian Height- Methodist church, Indianapolis. He is also engaged to speak at four Epworth League institutes and conventions and at two county teachers’ institutes.
