BORAH TO CLEAN. UP
REPUBLICAN, PARTY

WASHINGTON, May Announcing
determination to "clean up the repub-
Iican party" Senator Borah has set out
to compel the serious attention of lead
ers to his charges OF undue and i'm
proper pre-convention campaign ex-
penditures and activities.
If Borah's plans work out the way nc
hopes, the republican nomination for
president may hinge upon the question of
expenditures of money and promises, it
seemed evident today.
Borah will first concentrate his energy
on getting his resolution for a senatorial
adopted.
The senate elections committee is ex-
pected to take 1t up this week.
Borah hopes that Senator Kenyon of
Iowa, viii be named chairman of a sub
committee to investigate.
The next move probably will be to
gather information concerning a large
number of contests in southern states
These contests which are being made
in practically every southern state are
being paid for from some mysterious
source, according to Borahs information.
Investigation will show, he asserts,
that the contests in many cases have been
engineered" by northern politicians for
purposes of their own.
Borah intends, he said, to have this
phase of the Investigation conducted in
Chicago, while the republican national
committee is hearing the contests there.

L. E. e w. Manager
Expires Suddenly

The body of Hobart A. Boomer. So
general manager Of the Lake Erie &
Western railroad. who died aboard his
private car ut Lima. o., last night. was
brought to the family home. 1888 North
New Jersey street, today.
Mr.. Boomers fatal illness came sud
denly.
He left indianapolis Wednesday morn
ing on an inspection tour and at
O'Clock Thursday evening suffered q
stroke of apoplexy, from which he died
in twenty minutes.
year ago Mr.. Boomer was seriously
Injured in an automobile accident and
that, coupled with overwork In t1e
period of government control Of rail
roads. had weakened his health.
The widow and one daughter, Mrs.
Margaret Mckay, 1645 Forth Talbot
avenue. are the surviving members of
the family.

ana, having served in various capacities

ator and station agent of the Wabash,

PROFITS SINCE
WAR DOUBLED
Figures Against Big Corpora
tions Shown in Wage Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, May 7-Proits Of
practically all big corporations dealing
in food, clothing and basic raw ma
greater than before the war, J. Lauck,
former secretary of the national labor
board, told the railroad-labor board
today.
In support of his testimony Lauck sub
mitted United States treasury reports
and Published statements of groups Of
corporations showing average net prof
it's compared with capital stock totals
for the three-year periods 1912 1914 and
1861 1918
Sugar profits, Lauck showed, increa sed
generally 300 per cent; meat packing
profits between 800 and 400 per cent !;
clothing, 500 per cent; shows, 100 per
cent aud coal. 400 per cent
Profits of from 25 to 100 per cent on
capital Invested were not uncommon for
hundreds Of corporations during the
three war years, according to Lauck's
evidence.
This would indicate that many big
corporations earned enough during tho
war period to entirely return their en-
tire investment, he said
Lauck appeared In behalf of RAILROAD
workers asking the board to approve
their demands for wage increases to-
tally approximating one billion dollars
annually.
He blamed advancing living costs al
most entirely upon profteering.

HOOVER CHALLENGES
HIS LEAGUE VIEWS

NEW YORK, May 7.-Herbert Hoover
today issued n challenge to Senator HI
ram Johnson TO make his position clear
on the league OF nations issue.
A statement was issued by Hoover as
follows: Senator johnson lie quoted as
saying that he has never expressed oppo-
sition to any league TO prevent war and
reduce ornaments.
This indication Of a change of heart
is a matter of great satisfaction.
HE states that he does not want an
English league.
mo one Of us does.
But does the senator mean that the
covenant with the Lodge reservations Is
an English leaguel
This is the covenant and these are the
observations which have supported since
they were first voted by the majority Of
the senate last November.

Cat Farms Come Into FAVOR


That ancient trick story of the rat
and cat farm where the cats eat the
rats, give up their skins and are in
turn eaten by the rats, may be
found q sound business idea after
all, according to Joseph A. Rink,
president of Kinks Cloak House.
In a western state an enterpris-
ing fur man has opened a cat farm
on a large scale and as the venture is
proving highly remuneratlve others
are likely to be launched soon.
The fur of common alley cat
these days is worth about $1.25, al
though in the past it required clever
salesmanship to dispose Of 1t for
quarter.
And the demand is constantly grow
ing as furriers become more and
more artistically capable in their
treatment of skins.
COMMON CATS
SKIN RANKS HIGH.
A pleasing feature of cat fur pro-
duction is the fsct that the ubiqui-
tous black eat with nine tenacious
lives wears as costly a coat as the
most pampered and delicate Angora
that ever Tapped cream from golden
saucer.

depended upon to produce six kit

be dissuaded from exercising his I'M
natural aversion.
The fur business is growing more
important each year, according to
Mr.. Rink, and at the present rate Of
slaughter, wild animals will soon be-
come very rare.
MEN in northern Michigan and
other fur producing regions are de-
serting Jobs in mines and on the
farms to go in for trapping" said
Mr.. Rink
MANY CHANCES FOR
MORE AMBITIOUS.
"The high prices paid for furs Ia
the last few years have resulted in
the destruction of an alarming num-
Der of animals in all parts of the
world, and especially in the United
States and Canada.
1--WE are going to need domestic
animals such as rabbits and cats to
supply the worlds fur market"
OF course if one favors speculative
: industry the raising of silver foxes,
Hudson Bay sable and mink might
prove exceptionally remunerative.
Better still. produce sea otter skins.
of which there are possibly thirty
good specimens in the United States.
A nice sea otter skin for wealthy
woman's neckpiece would bring the
price Of a trainload of sugar at 80
cents a pound.
Then the producer could retire.

would make the highest priced swivel
chair expert green with envy.
One of the features Of the licenses this
year is the large number Of coal miners
from nearby cities who have come to In
dianapolis to "get hitched."
MANY RAILROADERS
GETTING SPLICED."
In the last six weeks there has been
large increase in the number of railroad
men obtaining licenses and in the major
ity OF cases the ages are over 40.
Miss Mahoney notes that divorced wom-
en- marry more frequently than divorced
men and in cases Of remarriage by a d.
vorced man it is generally to- woman
who has never been married before.
There are frequent examples Of men
who are over 80 and divorced from their
first wives, marrying girls between the
ages of 10 and %.
1t seems that divorced men prefer
partners who have never experienced
matrlmony.
Occasionally an architect, a minister,
a clerk. a reporter and the rest Of the
so-called white collar men" applies for
a license, but as a general rule it is the
fellow who works$in the blue shirt and
impressed trousers that is getting mar
ried these days.
