Organization Loath to Give
Answers to Queries on
Medicinal Liquor.
CONFER WITH GILLIoM
President Would Have
Union Freed From 0bIi-
cation to Take Stand.

A conference Friday morning be-
tween Mrs. Bert Gadd, president
of the Central w. G. T. u, and Ar
thur L. Gilliom, attorney general,
will decide whether the temperance
organization will answer the two
questions propounded by Gilliom re-
garding use of medicinal liquor.
The organization meeting will be
held Friday afternoon in the
Fletcher American Bank Bldg.
Mrs. Gadd indicated Thursday
that she would plead with the at
torney general to release her orga-
nization from answering the ques-
tions, on the grounds that the reso-
luton passed condemning him was
not representative of the entire
group.
Two Questions Asked
Gilliom asked two questions, re-
questing that the organization an
sWer:
would you, as mothers, refuse
to condone the use of whisky if
prescribed by your family physi-
clan for use for your own dying
child?"
Since the Volstead act permits
the use of whisky as medicine,
would you favor changing it to
conform with the Indiana stat
ute, which forbids it?"
The questions we're sent to the
organization for answer, after
passage Of a resolution condeming
Gilliom for breaking the law to save
the lives of his children.
That he had done so was made
public in letter which he sent to
Governor Jackson, asking that the
law be modified and pointing out
that whisky also had been illegally
used to save the life Of Mrs. Jack
son.
Il doubt very much whether we
will take up the questions at our
meeting" Mrs. Gadd declared. "Ours
is a dignified organization and we
feel that this whole controversy has
been bit impetuous.
Everything depends upon the out
come of my conference with the at
torney general.
"Yu see, Mrs. Jacksn is a member
of the Central w. G. T. u, and we
do not want to embarrass her"
Asked If the resolution was not a
bit embarrassing to Mrs. Jackson,
Mrs. Gadd said that it was one of
those things that occur in women's
organizations and could not be con-
sidered representative of the entire
group of 500 members.
The meeting Friday will not be
open TO reporters, she said. 1t will
be in the womens room at the
bank building.

Detectives questioned Ralph Boles,
81, of 235 Hansen ST., for hours to-
day seeking the motive for the
shooting Wednesday evening of
Harold Meyers, "a, of 165 w. Ari-
zona St.
They proceeded upon the theories,
for which they had discovered little
basic evidence, that Meyers was
shot either in an argument over hi
jacking or over woman.
Meyers has bullet wound in his
neck. City hospital authorities ex-
pect him to die.
Detectives learned that Wednes-
day evening Meyers and William
Hereth, 81, $40 N. Davidson ST.,
drove to the home of Ross Majors,
Negro, 1712 E. Twenty-Seventh ST.,
with two women and had a few
drinks.
Hereth went home. Meyers took
Miss Anna Earls, 423 E. North st.
for a ride. An automobile, in which
police say were Ralph Boles, 81,
235 Hanson ST.; Joe L. Comes, 20,
Louisville, sailor on leave; Frank
Miller, 25, 1902 s. Mount St., and
Richard McNece, 81, 757 S. New
Jersey ST., drew alongside them.
Boles is said to have shouted at
Meyers, who got out of his car and
was shot by Boles.
Detectives say Boles admits the
shooting, but says Meyers had a re-
volver and he shot in self defense.
Boles is charged with assault and
battery with intent to kill, and is
held under $4,000 bond. Hereth is
held under $4,000, and Comes, Miller
and McNece under $4,000 bonds.

Sane Stand Advocated

Rigid enforcement Of the Indian

Gilliom pointed out that laws al
ways have been literally interpreted
when it conclusively was shown that
liquor was to be used as medicine.

Propaganda that adoption of city

abolition of police and firemen's
pension funds was denied today by

Our investigations in other of the

FRANCE ALSO TARGET

Bv United Press
MOSCOW, June 9.-Great Britain
was charged with leading terrorist
war against Soviet Russia, in a gov
ernment communique issued today.
French interests also were accused
in the document.
The murder of Ambassador Voikov
In Warsaw; the bombing of meet
ing of a communist business club
in Leningrad, in which twenty-six
persons, including many women
were injured, and other acts of vio-
lence were attributed to British in
duence.
"Britain's hand is seen sufficient
ly clearly" in the Voikow assassina-
ton, the communique said.
Blame Blast on Aliens
Clews were said to have been
found indicating foreigners we're re-
sponsible for the wrecking yesterday
of a handcar carrying Vice Presi-
dent Obonski of the white Russian
police, and three other Russians and
an alleged Polish spy named YAM.
Obonski and another Russian
were KILLED, the two other Russians
were injured, and the Pole escaped.
The communique went back as
far as 1925 in citing acts of violence
In which British influence was seen.
In the summer of that year, it
said, supposed merchant arrested
on the Finnish frontier was identi-
fed as ''well-known British spy"
Aviation Captain Sydney George
Riley. He cnfessed, it was charged,
to intended terrorism, adding that
1t was Churchill (Winston Church
i'll, chancellor of the exchequer) ,
who personally instructed him."
In 1926, the communique contin-
ued, an attempt to assassinate two
of the highest officials of the Uk-
raine white Russian organization
was frustrated.
Murder Plot Fooled
March IL, 1927, it went on, Soviet
police foiled a plot to kill Josif
Stain, general secretary of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Commun-
list party; Alexey Rykov, chairman
of the council of peoples commits
sars and N. Bukharin, member OF
the political bureau, three of the
most influential Russian officials.
On May 10, man arrested for
plotting to blow up the Kremlin
and great theater during a mass
meeting confessed he was work
ing in direct contact with the man

nique said.

Fires Laid to Britain
A fire in the Leningrad military
warehouse was started on orders
of Esthonian agents of Britain" the
communique continued, and fire
in actory near Leningrad was al
legged to have been started ION
orders of Finnish agents of Britain. "
att is quite evident the British
government is leading war to do
everything possible to disrupt our
peaceful labor" the communique
concluded.

HOPE OF HIGHER WHEAT
Secretary Jardine Discusses Outlook
for Better Prices.

BU United Press
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Hope for
better prices for wheat than have
hitherto prevailed was held out to-
day by Secretary of Agriculture Jar
dine after a call at the White
House.
He pointed out that the yield this
year will be lower than last years.
Estimates had indicated, he said,
that the crop would be 100000
bushels less than a year ago, but
new estimates soon to be made will
swell this diminution. The crop
shortage, he added, will naturally
tend to increase wheat prices.

EUROPE SEEN ON WAY

The delayed solution Of the rela-

ion of Basil Miles, American admins
traitor with the International Chamber
of Commerce.
A report by Mr.. Miles, made public
today by the American section of the
chamber, declared that the many diff
culties which retard recovery are be-
ing recognized and overcome from
day to day.
Definite stabiliZation of French cur
rency is delayed only by political con
ing general election, the report as
serted. Germany's rise from chaos
to stability in three years" and the
amazing benefits of the present
Italian regime in return for the sacri-
fees required. were cited to show that
individual countries are progressing
steadily 10 an extent which has al
ready changed the face of Europe"
Both physical and social rehabili-
tation Of Austria was forecast. while
Hungary. Mr. Miles said, has proved
that its future problems are political
rather than economic.

IN the Balkans seems more and more
subject to the economic influence
which is. so increasingly a guiding
factor in more numerous and more
powerful states" he declared.
