'WHOOPEE' FOR
HALLOWEEN ON
CITY STREETS
Business Area Playground
for Thousands of
Jewellers.

One of the largest, gayest, widest
Halloween celebrations Indianap-
oils ever has witnessed was staged
Thursday night.
Merrymakers 100000 thronged the
downtown section of the city where
trafficless playground had been
prepared for them.
Tons of confetti was thrown,
millions of laughs were laughed,
thousands of noisemaking devices
worked faithfully to swell the gen.
eral babel, hundreds of Halloween
pranks were played, scores of fights
were staged and plenty of liquor
was consumed.
Looked Like Mardi Gras
All this in the section between
Illinois and Pennsylvania and Ohio
and Market streets, not to speak of
a large section of Monument Circle.
1t resembled nothing so much as
the world-famous New Orleans
mardi gras. Costumes of every type
were on display. Hideous false
faces masked sparkling eyes and
grinning features. Jack O. Lanterns
blinked gayly at the celebrating
throng.
A squadron of 125 police, headed
by Major Louis Johnson, patroled
the section and joined in the gayety.
Scores of parties were on the
nights program. A Winter circus
which featured real animals and
performers was held at the Indian
apolis Athletic Club where 600
jewellers were entertained.
The ballroom was arranged to
represent a circus tent and walters
dressed as clowns served refresh
ments.
More than TOO attended the an
nual witches and COLLINS ball at the
Columbia Club. Prizes for the best
costumes were distributed.
Many at Ball
Perhaps the largest single group
of merrymakers, 1000, attended the
annual mardi-gras ball of the Bruce
P. Robson American Legion post at
Tomlinson hall. A grand march and
cotume prizes we're the features.
The McGuffeyites staged their an
nual Halloween party in the Deni-
son hotel. Old-fashioned songs and
a grand march were on the pro-
gram.
A lively mask affair was held at
the Egyptian mosque by the Murat
Temple of the Mystic Shrine. More
than 800 attended. The Hoosier
Athletic Club staged costume ball
which was attended by more than
300, and scores of smaller parties
were held throughout the city.

Jeffrey to Fight Conviction
on Check Charge.

Commander Douglas G.. Jeffrey of
the British naval reserve, noted eX-
plorer, has announced he will ap-
peal his conviction in municipal
court Wednesday on charge of
issuing fraudulent check.
He will carry the case to criminal
court and if necessary to "the high
est court of the land" Jeffrey de-
clared.
There was absolutely nothing
fraudulent about the checks he
cashed at the Columbia Club which
resulted in his arrest on warrant
signed by club official, Jeffrey said.
Judge Paul c. Wetter fined him
$25 and sentenced him to thirty
days on the Indiana state farm, but
suspended the fine and sentence
and placed the commander on pro-
baton for six months. The Judge
ordered Jeffrey to report to the
probation department twice a month
and to pay within thirty days mo

MAN MACHINE
GUNS IN CHI
FOR ELECTION
100 Squads of Police to
Tour City Against Terror
Reign at Polls.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. Lone hundred
squads of police, consisting of five
men each, will tour Chicago anc
Cook county election day to guarc
against fraud and terrorism.
Maneuvered by a board of strate-
gy, these squads will act as shock
troops, subject to dispatch where
disturbances are reported.
Two dozen of the flying squad
rons" will be armed with machine
guns. In the other cars will be riot
guns and tear gas bombs. The spe-
cial machine gun detail will be made
up of expert marksmen.
The board of strategy will consist
of Deputy Commissioner of Detec-
tiveS John Steg, Chief Of Detec-
tives John Egan; Captains William
Shoemaker and John Ryan. A map
of the polling area of the city and
Cook county will be before them
The squads will report every hall
hour to the strategy room. When
trouble is reported a dozen squads
will be on the scene in less than
ten minutes under this system.
U. S. Officials Silent
Preliminary arrangements call for
regular tours over the entire area
but by nightfall, should conditions
warrant, all squads will be con-
centrated in the trouble spots.
Aside from the minute details
worked out by Siege, more than
seventy-five per cent of the police
department will be detailed to work
at polling places throughout the
city. In each polling place there
will be one policeman. In trouble
some precincts two policemen will
watch the voting.
Scores of civic organizations have
enlisted workers to watch for
irregularities.
What the federal government eX-
poets to do is problematical. George
E. o. Johnson, district attorney, has
refused to comment. From other
high government offices comes re-
ports that daily conferences are held
for discussion of the plans.
Here's Trouble Areas
Troublesome areas include the
Bloody Twentieth" ward. territory
of the Ellers-Morris Eller, city
collector and Emanuel Eller, SUI
peror court judge, his son.
Another is the "Back-o' the
Yards" district, the Joe Salts baili-
wick. There John CDingbaD Obertia,
Salts follower, rules.
Scattered sections Of the north
side, especially the near north side,
where the famous George Moran
Jack McGurn syndicate holds sway,
may produce some trouble.
The Chicago police squads will
have jurisdiction in the suburbs,
within Cook county. The suburbs
are Evanston and Wilmette on the
north side; Oak Park, haywood,
Melrose Park, Cicero on the west,
and Blue Island, Crete and Chicago
Heights on the south.
The Chicago squads will not
enter these towns unless violence
gets beyond control of local author
tiles.

United Press staff Correspondent

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Clos
ing events of this campaign are
moving tensely toward the finale
when the greatest number of per-
sons who ever participated directly
in an act of self-government will
register their decision.
So far as the decision of the great
masses Of voters is concerned, the
campaign probably is over. What
chiefly remains is for party workers
to get their forces to the polls in
full strength and get an honest
count.
1t is improbable something yet
may be said in the final days of the
campaign that might tip close,
doubtful states one way or the other,
because this campaign is being de-
cided chiefly upon elemental ap-
peals which are fundamental in
the opposing candidates.
Two Main Issues
Important blocks Of voters are
deciding this campaign upon the
twin issues of prohibition and re-
Iigion.
Where one ends, the other begins
It is impossible to say, so inter-
woven are they.
But combined they are sufficiently
to decide the result of many states.
+. In the west they are defeating
Smith in states which otherwise
might be drawn to him by his
progressive policies.
In the dry, Protestant south the
regular Democratic organization is
holding states in line by sheer force
Of party loyalty and in face Of very
general disagreement with Smiths
religion and prohibition views.
In the east, the states which are
expected to go for Smith are moved
to do so chiefly because they favor
his views on prohibition and be-
cause they have large populations
which are sympathetic or at least
not hostile toward his religion.
Prohibition and religion are the
fundamental moving forces in this
campaign. They account for the
extremely heavy registrations and
for the intense activity of women.
Conduct Unprecedented
The candidates have conducted
themselves in a manner as unprece-
dented as the issues upon which
their struggle is about to be decided.
Hoover has talked less probably
than any candidate who ever asked
to be elected President of the United
States. He has been more isolated
from the press.
Governor Smith has taken direct
issue with Hoover on this.
He has spoken out openly, eSpe-
cially at Oklahoma City and at
Baltimore, against attempts to use
his Catholic religion against him.
At Baltimore he directly charged
that behind Hoover we're massed the
Ku-Klux Khan and the "brow- beat
ing' Anti-Saloon league.
Such frankness seldom has been
heard from a presidential candidate.
"Smith Would Win If"
Politicians everywhere expect
Smith to receive a tremendous
popular vote, and many say pri-
vately that were it not for the liza
bilities he carries in his religion and
his Tammany affiliations, his cleo
ton would be assured beyond ques-
ton.
me campaign has been waged
largely around Smith in many sec
tons. He evokes tremendous sup
port in such Republican strong
holds as Philadelphia and equally
intense opposition in normally
Democratic states like Oklahoma
and in this respect Hoover has been
the moro r1aceive fio11ra Of the battle

THREE AMERICANS
 LEAD IN TOURNEY
Mehlhorn, Sarazen and Hagen Enter Second Round Of Play

Sandwich, Eng, May 10 OP)- Great Britain gathered it's depleted golfing forces this morning in an eff fort to rcpel those persistent United States attackers, three of whom to- day threatened to fight it out for the British open golf pionship.
 Wild Bill' Mehlhorn. Gene Sara zen and Walter Hagen began swing ing their clubs today in the second round of the tournament which may end successfully for one Of the trio.
 Mehlhorn, who shot at II Ii lead the field in the opening round. and
 Sarazen, who followed at Wild
 i,ill's" heels with a 72. stood at the
 top of field of 11$ and the few
 English golfers left in the running
 faced an apparently almost hopeless
 task of overriding them.
 Another foreign threat 10 the.
 title loomcd in the person of Jose
 Jurado. the diminutiye Argentine
 professional who finished the first
 round in third place with a. "A. Walter Hagen, who twice has won
 the British open title, was four strokes in the rear. tied with four Britishers, George Duncan. Archie Conpston. $. Wingatc and Percy Alliss, each of whom started out with q 15.
 As play started in the second round, four of the eight leaders were foreigners. including three United states profe ssonals and Jurado. the ArgeDtinian. Naturally, British hopes of regaining the title were at low i ebb. but they looked to either Archie 1 Compston. who conquered Hagen so completely recently. or George Dun- can to close the gap in the final { rounds.
 i If eithe Sid Wingate or Percy | Alliss should develop into conten- der. the impression gained in golflng ' circles here is that Rritain's chances l of regaining the title would be | lrsSon"d, for if is thought that one I of the American trio. Nehlhorn. ! Sarazen or Hagen would have Dca- | ter, chance 10 outstay Wingate or Alliss rather than Duncan or Comp : Ston

 TEST SATURDAY
Norwich Team Reported to Be Stronger Than Ever This Year

Doubtless the Norwich Free Acad- emv baseball team which faces New Britain High school Saturday after than any other team on this years schedule. So far this season it has not been defeated. It has won 10 victories in succession.
 It is an unfortunate break that the New Britain High school should meet a team of this calibre at a time when the lineup is hardly set and the team does not seem 10 be round- ing into form. This is due, Of course, to he great amount of green mate rial on the squad
 Some of the strongest and best teams are on the schedule of the Red X Gold team this year, a fact which IS creditable to the schedule maker. but also a tough break 10 the team and its coach since the squad has proven to be a weak com bination.
 Coach George M Cassidy is work ing hard trying to organize a team. He has four pitchers, one of which should come through before the sea- son ends They are Wilton Mercy, 'Hermy" Schmarr, Doc" Potts, and "Penole" LudinoWicz. All were given an opportunity to show their stuff in the Hartford game last week and Schmarr seemed to be in the best form. He or Mercy will be given the call Saturday.
 Bill Mangan did not catch in the Hartford game but it is expected that he will take Lipman's place saturday in the Norwich game. Fred Saunders who was ill last week, will be back and will resume his place at first base in place of Potts, who will be shifted to the outfield. Cap tain Hinchey will take over second base and Henry kraszewski of bas- ketball fame. will be sent into the lineup at shortstop. Joe Bogdan> ski may probably be the only man in the infield who will retain the place he played in last weeks game. The game of baseball is a new eX- perience with Eddie Sowka, but he showed enough m the hartford game to assure him of staying in the lineup. He will be shifted from right to center field and Potts will 20 in at right. Wetsky who proved 10 be a good offensive man will be | the only outfielder who will retain 1 his position.
 Norwich has a classy ball team. 1 In its lineup is Jervis, a home run | hitter of mean ability. He has sock 1 ed out six so far this season. Last year before a crowd of 2.000 people in the New Britain game, he hit the longest drive recorded in the history of the grounds. The ball sailed uT and broke a window in the third floor of the school dormitory.
