INDICT POLICE

City Attorney Says Authorities
Run Gambling Resorts Enor-

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 50.-Both the
January grand jury and circuit
court judge Friday took official cog
nizance of allegations that gamblers
in Louisville long have been per-
mitted to operate without being mo-
Tested.
Summing up, after indicting II
persons, including a captain of po-
lice and two other city officials, on
charges in connection with gaming,
the grand jury asserted in its re-
port, it is satisfied beyond a doubt
that gambling could not have ex-
listed to the extent we have found
without being protected from some
source, and where such protection
is granted we feel that money or
other valuable consideration is given
for this protection.
"We have had evidence" the re-
port continues, "that city officials
themselves have operated games
with police knowledge and partici-
patton"
Announcement was made by As
sistant Commonwealth Attorney
Mix that a former policeman had
been instructed not to molest games
at two negro clubs and to protect a
notorious dance hall where there
was no color line.

PERSH|NC WILL

BY HIS PARTY
Brother Gives Out Statement
Which Indicates Attitude
Of General towards !
The Nomination.

I. Lincoln. Ian.s.., 30.-{Speeial. -
General Pershing will accept the re-
publican nomination if it is rendered
him, according to a statement made
by James Pershing, his brother, at
the Pershing headquarters in New
York City. This is the word sent
by George ]. Woods, head of the
Pershing organization in the east, to
Mark w. Woods, chairman of the
national organization.
The generals brother made the
statement, according to the tele-
gram, when asked whether or not
General Pcrshing would accept the
nomination if offered him by the re-
publican convention.
"The general is not a candidate
in the sense of scramtling for the
nomination." Mr.. Pershing is quoted
as saying. Few are the Americans,
however, who would not serve the
country as president if called to the
White House by the people. That,
take it, is my brothers view"
Mark Woods on giving out the
statement explained that this ex-
preston from the brother of the
general should serve to satisfy those
who have viewed Pershing's position
as to the nomination as doubtful
"It isn't necessary" said Mr., Woods,
"that the general should definitely
express his position. His past serv-
ice is indication enough that he will
not refuse to heed the wishes Of the
people" ..s.-.

BANDIT R0bS TRAIN I'm OMAHA
DEMOCRATS WALK
OUT; TREATY GOES
TO SENATE AGAIN
Efforts to Break Deadlock
Brought to Sudden End by Ac-
ton of Senator Lodge.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Efforts to
break the peace treaty deadlock by
unofficial bipartisan negotiations
ended suddenly in failure today, and
democratic leaders began prepara-
tons to bring the treaty back into
the open senate for consideration. 1t
was over the long debated Article
X that the bipartisan movement
after bringing republicans and demo-
Gratis together on many collateral
issues finally met disaster. >t
The end came after Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, the repub-
lican leader, had renewed his re-
fusal to compromise on that article
and had rejected a reservation on
the subject written by former
President Taft and presented to the
bipartisan committee by the demo-
Gratis.
Walking out of conference with
announcement that further delibera-
tons there were useless, the demo-
Gratis quickly drafted plans to re-
new the fight in the open. The act
ing party leader, Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska, announced that notice
would be given in the, senate tomor-
row of his intention to make a mo-
ton February 10 to take up the
treaty for ratification. Opinion
was divided as to whether such a
motion would prevail.
If it does, Senator Hitchcock ex-
poets to propose, he said, that the
senate adopt those reservations OH
which tentative agreement had been
reached in the committee and then
fight out differences over the others.
A draft of the committees work
made public by Mr.. Hitchcock did
not correspond with a review of its
accomplishments given out by Ser
ator Lodge, however, and a bitter
aftermath seemed in store should the
democratic plan OF open discussion
be carried out.

After a metoric career of the

North Platte, Neb., has disappeared
Bankruptcy proceedings filed by his
creditors list liabilities of over $780,.
600, although his friends say many
of the claims have been duplicated
and in some cases merchandise sold
him has been recovered.
The first intimation of his totter-
ing financial condition came last
week in a letter to friends in
Omaha, asking them to notify his
wife and friends in North Platte
that he was busted" The letter
was mailed at the Union station here
and stated that he was leaving for
"the land of nowhere" and advising
them to save all from the wreck
that was possible. +
Mr.. Trotter is SO years old and
was raised on his fathers farm near
North Platte. After teaching school
in a rural district, he was elected
county superintendent of schools in
Lincoln county. He, retired as a
public official and entered a bank
at Brady, Neb., being advanced to
the presidency. Five years ago, he
disposed of his banking interests
and engaged in the automobile busi-
ness for himself at North Platte.
Issued Mortgages Promiscuously
During his business career for
himself, his friends say, he became
deeply involved in debt in an en-
deavor to operate too many enter
prises and become wealthy at once.
In addition to his automobile busi.
ness, he operated "a large farm
and an alfalfa ranch of $40 acres.
Selling or mortgaging machines
to which he did not have clear title
is said to have been his chief source
of revenue. Records at North
Platte are said to show where two
mortgages on the same car have
been filed.
1t is said he purchased machines
from manufacturers on credit fur
nished by the Motor Finance cor
poration of Omaha, and smaller

posed to take up the deed when the
car was sold.
Many Loans Unsecured.
For some time past, it is said he
has not been taking up the trust
deeds, and when he sold cars, KEEP,
all the money. In addition his friend.

Senator WadsWorth Warns
! Committee to Prepare Air
Service for Big Struggle on
Sea Coasts Of Country.
PERSHlNG INSISTS ON
ARMY HAVING CONTROL
Borah Leads Tremendous On
sIaught on Separate and
Larger Air Department on
Ground Of Its Extravaganza.

Washington, Jan. 30-The new
bill to create separate department
of the air encountered further vigor-
Gus opposition in the senate today,
Senator Borah, republican. Idaho,
leading the attack against the meas
ure on the ground of extravaganza.
Urging its passage, Chairman
Wadsworth of the military commit
tee asserted that the next great war
involving this country would be
ushered in with an air battle off the
coast and warned the senate to pre-
pare against that day.
Pershing Wants Army Control.
Opposition to- the bill, so far as
it would separate the army air serv-
ice from its, status as an integral
part of the army, also was expressed
in a letter from General Pershing,
made public during the day by Rep
resentative Fisher, democrat, Ten
nessee.
In his attack on the bill Senator
Borah took occasion to warn his re-
publican colleagues that the party's
special promise of economy al the
last election was not beng carried
out in congress.
THE first or the second day OF the
next great war emergency this ma
ton faces will be marked by great
air battle off our coasts" said Chair
man Wadsworth of the military
committee, defending the bill. II
am as sure of that as I am standing
here.
1T is our way to wait until emer-
gency ovcrtakes us, but we have
spent $26,O0O,0 100000 and thousands
of wasted lives in the past two years
to find out how expensive Our way
can be. -
"The number of men you provide
in this proposed central agency and
the amount OF money is immaterial,
but the principle and policy involved
and the organization is important"
Writes From, Denver.
General Pershing's views on the
proposed separation of the air serv-
ice from the army were disclosed in
correspondence between that officer
and Major General Menoher, di-
rector of the army air service, made
public today by Representative
Fisher, democrat, Tennessee, a
member of the military committee.
"The air service for military pur-
poses should remain part of the
army" General Pershing wrote
from Denver, adding that it should
be established, "as separate branch
within the army, and separate only
in the same way that infantry and
field artillery are separate"
Answering series of questions
submitted by General Menoher,
General Pershing wrote:
Cannot Win Alone.
Military forces can never be ef-
ficiently trained nor operated with
out an air force.
"An air force, acting independent
1y, can of its own account neither
wins war at present time, nor. so
far as we can tell, at any time in the
future.
"If success is to be expected, the
military air force must be controlled
in the, same way, understand the
same discipline, and act in accord
ance with the army command under
precisely the same conditions as
other combat arms.
"An air force should not be es-
tablished as a combat force distinct
from the army and navy"
