MARSHALL'S WET
SPEECH SCORED
Branded Insult to Senate by
Dry Leader.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-vice Presi-
dent Marshall was severely criticised
today by the Anti-Saloon league,
through it's general consul, Wayne B..
Wheeler, for asserting Thursday night
before the Virginia Bar association at
Richmond that the United States senate
would not have approved prohibition IL
1t had voted behind closed doors
The vice president" Mr.. Wheeler said,
delivers a deliberate insult to the SEN
ate when he declared that the prohibition
amndment would not have received twen-
ty votes behind closed doors.
THE senator's are amply able to take
care of themselves. but 1t must not be
forgotten that sixtyfive senator's voted
for 1t.
They did so in the face of most
vicious, corrupt liquor organization
threatening their political lives If they
submitted the question to the states for
ratification.
Men who live in glass houses should
not throw stones,
"Mr. Marshall entered his public career
as an opponent of the liquor traffic.
The story of his conversion to becom-
ing a champion of liquor reflects no
credit on him.
For a vice president to appear before
great religious body, the Southern Bap-
tist convention, one day and lecture them
about influencing congress on moral is
sues, and the next day champion the
outlawed liquor interest at a bar assoc
ciation in Virginia does not inspire con-
fidence in his sound judgment or con-
sistency."

Good Shortage as Howard
County Official.
COST ONE MAN JOB

Ora ]. Davies, republican nominee
for treasurer of state, recently made
good large shortage in his accounts
as county treasurer of Howard coun-
ty, it was revealed today.
The fact also was made known that in
connection with the settlement of the
shortage a false report was made by
field examiners of the state board of
accounts, resulting in the dismissal Of
Thad L. Major, one of the examiners.
According to the records the board of
accounts, under Gilbert H. Hendren,
failed for four years to make an ex
animation of the books of the treasurer
of Howard county and the city Of Ko-
komo
The first examination was ordered last
year by Jesse e. Eschbach, the presi-
dent-chief examiner of the accounts
board.
BOOKS EXAMINED
AS DAVIES GOES OUT.
The books were examined up to Dec
81, 1918, the date on which Davies ceased
to be county treasurer.
Major and Horace Fosdick, field exam
iners, were assigned to the work.
A report was later made showing that
Barrett law funds, S91.39 in other city
funds and S329.31 in county funds, total
ing $3,602.47, all of which was handled by
Mr.. Davies as treasurer.
The return of this money was de-
manded by the board Of accounts and
Major and Fosdick later reported that
the total amount had been paid in cash.
! Nothing more came of the case until
the examination covering the year 1918
was ordered
This time two examiners who had
not previously worked on the books
of the Howard county treasurer, Otto
Weber and Richard Palmer, were as
signed to make the examination.
SHORTAGE NOT MADE
GOOD WITH CASH.
These examiners Immediately reported
that the previous shortage had not been
settled in cash, but that Davies had
placed in the cash drawer an unsecured
note for 81, 100 and that Thurman C. San
ders, who was a deputy under Davies,
and is now county treasurer, had placed
ia the drawer an uncertifed cheek for
81 .202.47, making up the total of So
602.47 which was supposed TO have been
paid In cash.
Major and Fosdick were Immediately
called into the board of accounts Office
anu 2daJoE WAS uAsNHdEEEu-
Fosdick was then, and still is. in the
midst of a long assignment which The
board desires he should complete.
1t was also learned that Major had
been involved in a business deal with
Davies and that they were very close
friends.
AMOUNT CHARGED
WITH se16 INTEREST.
The amount was again charged up
against Davies, with the addition OF
interest at 8 per cent, the latter amount
ing to S21614.
The amount of the charges were again
demanded of Davies and he borrowed
the money and payed them in full in
cash.
Davies is now the republican nominee
for treasurer of state, a position in
which he would be called upon TO han
die enormous sums of money belonging
to the state.
