THOUSANDS HONOR GERMAN
Irish FLIERS And WIVES IN
. GIANT new YORK FESTIVAL
Wives Embrace Hero Mates
Before Throngs and
Movie Cameras.
KISSES MAYOR WALKER
Mrs. KoehI and Mrs. Fitz-
maurice Say They
Were Confident.
BV United Press

NEW YORK, April 30.-New
York laid such insistent claim on
the transatlantic fliers that their
wives were not allowed to greet
them until all the welcoming cere-
monies at city hall were ended.
Capt. Herman Koehl and Mai.
James E. Fitzmaurice were at the
right of the welcoming stand, in a
group with Mayor Jimmy Walker
and Grover Whalen, while Mrs.
Koehl and Mrs. Fitzmaurice, Just
off the liner Dresden, had to climb
on chairs, like all the other spec
tators, to get a glimpse of their
heroes.
When the speeches were COM
pleted Mrs. Fitzmaurice, leading
her dimpled daughter, Patricia, 4,
edged toward the smiling Irishman.
Then while cameras ground away
and flashlights doomed, husbands
and wives kissed in warm embrace.
The camera urged them on for just
another shot"
Mrs. K0ehl Kisses Mayor
Mrs. Koehl was almost beside her
self with joy. She had waited
long time for her husband-since
March 26, in fact. After embracing
him, she threw her arms around the
neck Of Mayor Walker and planted
a healthy kiss on each cheek while
the crowd roared with delight.
Mrs. Fitzmaurice wore a moleskin
coat with a spray of violets on the
lapel and close fitting dark hat COW
cred with gold. dots. She is a bru-
nette of abouts25 years.
Mrs. Koehl seemed even younger
than her companion. She wore gray
shoes and stockings and light gray
double-breasted suit with blue tie
and light gray straw hat with blue
band. They were met at city hall
by Mrs. Walker, wife Of the mayor,
and Mrs. Clarence Chamberlin, wife
of the famous pilot.
Doubts Return Flight
Mrs. Koehl said she had never
tried to dissuade her husband from
making the transatlantic hop. She
added she would not try to stop
him if he decided to fly back, but
she said she did not think it likely
that he would.
"I let him do what he wants."
she said.
Then the newspaper men turned
to Mrs. Fitzmaurice.
"Sure, I'd like to fly back with
them" she said, in answer to a
question, "but I know they would
nto take me with them"
"How did you feel when you
heard that your husband was safe?"
Can't See Her Daddy
"Very, very happy" she replied
and volunteered the information
that she received the news at 2 a. M,
from an officer at the Baldonnel Air
dome, who arrived at her home with
a box of chocolates and a bottle of
champagne. 4
At the pier, Patricia looked over
the crowd and then turned to her
mother; st can't find daddy" she
said.
Mrs. Koehl speaks very little Eng
lish and talked to reporters in
German at the dock.
Were you at all worried when
nothing was heard from the Bre-
mem? Mrs. Koehl was asked.
"Garnicht" (not a bit), she an
swered promptly.
She said she had done consider
able flying with her husband, but
had never aspired to be a pilot.

Denounced as Deceit

Deceit and misrepresentation"
was the denunciation Ralph d.
Kane, Gilliom's campaign manager,
voiced of Shumaker's wet" ap-
praisal of Gilliom, in an open LETT
ter which Kane sent Shumaker
Sunday.
Kane charged that Shumaker
designated Gilliom as wet" in the
American Issue because Shumaker
had been cited for contempt Of the
Indiana Supreme Court of a cita-
ton prepared by Gilliom
"Your resentment on account Of
this episode is the animus which
prompts your attack of Mr.. Gill
liom," Kane wrote Shumaker, "and
you are willing to resort to deceit
and Misrepresentation to accomplish
your purpose.
1.-THE Anti-Saloon League Is an
organization composed of good, sin
cere persons dedicated to a great
moral cause and your attempt to
use it as a weapon in a private
quarrel, should be condemned by al
decent persons"
Klan Links Cited
Kane said that at Is more thf-
a coincidence that the same at
tack should appear in the Fellow
ship Forum official publication of
the Ku-Klux Klan, and issued un-
der auspices of Wizard Evans, and
the Indiana edition of the American
Issue, edited by E. S. Shunaker,
each representing the class of politi-
cal demagogue, who, by attempting
to play upon the credulity of hon.
est and sincere persons, have pro-
duced the evils from which Indiana
has suffered and which we say must
be stopped"
There is no place in this country
for reformers for revenue only"
Kane wrote, land when they violate
the law, as you have done in this
case, it is time to stop their activi-
ties"
AT Marion Sunday, Shumaker
said the wet classification placed
upon Gilliom was not his personal
expression, but the judgment of a
special subcommittee of the head
quarters committee of the league.
Pastors Are Named
He named as members of the spe-
cial committee the Rev. w. B.
Farmer, secretary of the Preachers
Aid Society, and the Rev. Charles
H. Winders, pastor of the North
wood Christian Church, who are
named as witnesses in Gillioms ac-
ton.
Shumaker also denied there was
any prearrangement about the at
tack in the columns of the Fellow
ship Forum, Klan organ.
Indiana Anti-Saloon League"
he said, "has nothing to do with the
Klan. 1t is just as free from the
Klan as is the Red Cross Society.
It never was connected with the
Klan in any of its work"
Shumaker said Gilliom sought
and received Klan support in 1926
and said he was fable to prove it,
if Mr.. Gilliom challenges me to
do So"
"Ndr. Shumaker collected practi-
cally all the information and we
had to trust him in the conclu-
sions to which we came" said the
Rev. Mr.. Winders. mfr. Shumaker
said Mr.. Gilliom was wet"
Believes He Is Wet
IT also had a general impression"
he continued, "from what 1 have
read, especially in regard to Mr..
Gilliom's attitude toward medicinal
whisky and also toward the Anti
Saloon League, that he was wet"
Shumaker was out of the city to-
day. Anti-Saloon League head
quarters said he was scheduled to
address the students at Taylor Uni
versity, Upland, Ind, this morning.
