City Several Days and
Roy West Is Coming.

Aware of Necessity for

FEAR SCANDAL EFFECT

Republican national leaders are
worried over the political situation
in Indiana:
This was the conclusion drawn
by political observers today, as word
went around that one emsisary oi
Republican National Chairman Will
liam u. Butler, was in the city for
several days and that another is
due>to arrive Friday.
Lee Nixon, personal handyman for
Chairman Butler, with headquarters
at Washington. was in the city sew
eral days, leaving this morning, 1t
was learned. He left for business
trip to Mexico.
An attempt to cover the purpose
OF Nixon's visit was made, it. is un-
derstood, he having told friends here
that he was in the city merely to
visit relatives.
Politicians Quizzed
Nixon, however, spent considerable
time each day he was here in the
lobbies of the Claypool and SEVERN,
asking searching questions OF
politicians he encountered.
On Nixon's heels comes Roy West,
secretary of the Republican ma
tional committee. Friends of West at
the Statehouse said he is due
Friday. They were careful to as
sert that West is coming upon per-
sonal business. What the personal
business is was not disclosed.
With presidential and congress
sional election only year away the
interest of national leaders in In
diana. pivotal State, is natural
it was pointed out.
Stirred by Scandals
The national publicity which at
tended the conviction of a Repub-
lican mayor of indianapolis, the in
dictment of Governor Ed jackson,
a Republican, and the indictment
of the Republican county chairman,
George v. Conn, once powerful
enough to have aspired to the State
Craftsmanship. are believed to have
stirred the national leaders to the
point where they desired first hand
information upon the situation.
Recent disclosures of the Shu-
maker Watson Robinson letters also
is believed to have intrigued the
curiosity of the national leaders, in
view of the fact that two of their
solid" G. o. p. United States SEN
ators we're involved.
Sees Nothing Political"
Joseph B. Healing, Republican ma
tional committeeman for Indiana,
said that he felt sure there was
nothing political in the visit OF
Nixon or the coming of West. He
said Nixon called on him Tuesday
but they "just visited"
Healing said he believed West
might be coming here for some busi-
ness in connection with De Pauw
University, of which he is trustee
The committeeman said he
thought it "a little early" to believe
that thtvnational committee is send
ing out feelers."

HANIMONTON, N. j., Scot. 28.-
State police today extended the
search for Willis "Hell-No" Beach
to hunters shacks in the waste
land, after his attorney, Edison
Hedges had assumed full response
bility for Beach's disappearance.
Beach is charged with aiding
and abetting" the murder of DR..
William Lilliendahl.
The white-haired chicken fancier
disappeared yesterday at a time
when he stood a chance of either
being cleared or indicted as driver
Of the blue sedan that whirled away
from a patch Of woodland at the
time DR.. William Lilliendahl was
shot to death. He is under $4,000
bond.
Beach's DISAPPEARANCE has made
it embarrassing for Mrs. Margaret
Lilliendahl. the widow who is held
in $25,000 bail as a material witness.
She has contended all along that
her husband, the aged narcotics
expert, was killed by two Negroes
and that Beach knew nothing
about it.
Widow EvadeS Issue
a United Press correspondent
called at the Lilliendahl home and
was received by the 42-yesr-old
widow. He found that she doesn't
look her age.
She has an aristocratic nose,
large brown intelligent eyes and
shows exquisite taste in dress.
The elderly physician and his
middle-aged wife had retired to this
modest home from their establish
ment at Mountain Lakes, N. j. The
change was made for his health.
The murdered physician was de-
scribed as "a gentle soul," who had
gunmen among his patients whom
he tried to cure of the narcotic
habit. He was slender, gentle
voiced and delicate.
Beach Not 'sMatinee Idol"
Beach is the opposite of the late
DR.. Lilliendahl. He is short and
robust and given to bucolic humor.
The top of his head is bald and
around it is fringe of white hair.
Beach and Mrs. Lilliedahl had
corresponded with each other.
Beach addressed his letters to her
as Peggy Anderson, under which
name she received mail at the gen.
eral delivery window of the postof-
flee here.

to "the grind"
He left New York and the respon-
sibilities which had become irksome
to him on Sept. IL. First he at
tended the Dempsey-Tunney fight
at Chicago. Then he came to st.
Louis for the dog races here.
AS Fleet, the salesman, out for a
good time, he enjoyed himself, while
friends worried, detectives searched,
and a nation became concerned.
Il just got fed up on society and
night life along Broadway and de-
cided to take a little trip as a sort
OF vacation" said Reynolds today,
fitting his slouch hat far back on
his head and hosting his feet to the
polished desk of the private detec-
tive who captured" him.
"You know what like to do once
in awhile is to go away and use an
other name, so no one will bother
me. pose as travelling salesman
in moderate priced hotels and play
around without worrying for fear
someone is trying to get his hands
on my money or oSptilaize my
friendship.
Il met Eddie Crenshaw and he
went to the races with me. I liked
Ed very much"
1t was Crenshaw who divulged
Reynolds whereabouts after he had
been promised $4,000 for the service
in a phone conversation with de-
tectives. Reynolds apparently did
not resent the fact that it was
Crenshaw who told detectives where
to find him. They went home to-
gether last night. The reward has
been held up.

MILFORD, Mich, Sept. 28.-The
much discussed pending warfare"
between Henry Ford and the Cen
eral Motors Corporation was min
imized today in an address deliv-
cred by Alfred P. Sloan Jr., preSi-
dent of General Motors.
Speaking to group of automobile
editors at the corporations prov

problem does not look so compli-
Gated - '-Au newspaper people are

The Ford and General Motors

eff the past is any indication of
the future, the new Ford car will
be car that will appeal to a great
mass of people," he said.
Naturally that car must meet
present conditions, but the basic
idea is likely to be the same. Cen
eral Motors is in quite different
position. General Motors idea is
to make car of greater luxury than
the Ford-a car that properly be-
longs to the next higher price class.
with every price car there is a
definite market. This applies to the

Ford to Have Huge Sale
Sloan summed up in the following
paragraph:
There is plenty of opportunity in
the world today fer Mr.. Ford to give
the public honest value, which Of
course he will do, with the result
that he will sell an enormous num-
ber OF cars per year.
"There is equal opportunity for
General Motors to give the public
honest value at a higher price and
likewise sell very large number
of cars every year"
Sloan paid tribute to Ford for bis
thesis OF "the lowest possible price"
IT do not think many of us ap-
preciate the tremendous debt that
we owe Mr.. Ford not only for his
conception of the idea, but his stick
ing to it," he said.

Sloan also owes Ford a personal

Three Indiana manufacturers of
reed and willow baskets today pro-
tested against the State of Indiana
competing with them to the extent
that they may face extinction, in a
conference with trustees of the In
diana State Farm, at the Wash
ington.
The manufacturers, through their
attorneys, Lem Darrow of La Porte
and James E. Recap of Indianapo-
lis, declared they will seek a per-
manent injunction to put the State
out OF the willow basket market.
Discussion in the conference,
which was arranged largely through
efforts of the Indiana State Cham
Der OF Commerce, William H. Arnett.
secretary, disclosed that the penal
farm has a salesman on the road
taking customers away from the
private manufacturers right and left
all the way from st. Louis to De-
troit and Chicago to Louisville.
Underbid Private Operators
The State underbids the private
operators from 60 to rs per cent. it
was asserted, because the States
convict labor cost is practically nil.
The salesman is Andrew Green
hoist, son Of the man in charge of
the basket making department at
the penal farm. He works direct
from the farm, despite the fact that
there is such an office as the State
Sales Agent, who, by law, is
supposed to dispose of the surplus
products of State penal institutions.
The la provides that after the in
stitutions have supplied the needs
OF all governmental units for such
things as mops, t"ooms and snoes
the surplus shall be generally sold.
Not Needed by State
Darrow charged that the mere
manufacture of such an article as
a floral basket, which no govern
mental unit could possibly use, was
a law violation.
The penal farm grows the willows
and has 14O prisoners making bas-
kets, Superintendent Ralph Howard
said.
Trustee Charles G. Heustis Of
GreencaStle defended the practice
on the ground the State was max
ing baskets in 1916 and "there was
not another manufacturer of willow
baskets in Indiana at that time"
Manufacturers Protest
Whereupon Fred Henoch Of the
Owe Ghnatt Company, La Porte,
Ind, asked if it was the "policy of
the State of Indiana and its in
stitutions to shut out manufacturers
desiring to locate in the State be-
cause the State happened to be
on the ground first?"
