BUSH CAUSES WORRY
Fear Is Expressed That
Indiana Will Be Tough
G. 0. P. Problem.
BY ROSCOE FLEMING

KANSAS CITY, June 14.-With
the Republican national convention
all over but the shouting which
will greet the nomination of Her
bert Hoover, the Hoosier delegation
is beginning to discuss the home
ward trek.
They have chartered a special
train, which will leave Kansas City
three hours after the convention
ends. According to announcement
by Eliza Rogers, State chairman, the
purpose of keeping them together
will be to lay plans for Repub-
lican sweep of Indiana in the fall.
According to the tone around
headquarters, it will be anything
but" Watson and his advisers are
so disguised and heartsick that it
is a safe prediction Hoover's real
friends in Indiana will find it hard
to keep them from laying their
massive forms down on the ticket.
Gloomy for Leslie
In fact, such an idea appears to
have occurred already to the
gubernatorial candidate, Harry
Leslie, who is reported very gloomy
over the unflagging anti Hoover
efforts of Edgar Bush of Salem, his
running mate next fall.
Bush and William H. Settle, presi-
dent of the Indiana Farm Bureau
Federation, among others, origi-
mated the last despairing anti
Hoover idea. The farm allies are
reported to be preparing to put into
effect today that of filibustering the
convention over until Monday, in
the hope of some HooveriteS may
change their minds.
Bush to Settle and Settle to Bush
was the double play combination all
day yesterday. Settle made speeches
in hotel Hobbies, waving the British
flag at his Hoover listeners and tell
ing them that was their flag, but
that the American flag, which he
also waved, floated above the Wat
son candidacy.
Bush and Settle led the farm
parade, which was stopped at the
convention doors by Kansas City's
huskiest cops, Bush pleaded in vain
with Lee Nixon, sergeant-at-arms
and a fellow Hoosier, to allow the
farmers to parade through the con-
vention hall.
Bush Is Resentful
Cant do it, Ed, without creden-
tials or tickets" said Nixon regret
fully.
Our farmers will resent this"
cried Bush, then he led the parade
around the hall to door after door.
being turned away at each one.
Bush led the farmers committee
gathered to meet Secretary Mellon
late yesterday, and he and Settle
we're scheduled to address a farm
meeting today.
The lone Indiana vote in the
Texas delegate contest case, said to
be that of A. T. Beardsley of Elk
hart, for seating the Hoover dele
gates, shows that some of the IN
diana delegation, at least, are
anxious to break away from the
Watson candidacy and go to Hoover
Beardsley's paper, the Elkhart
Truth, supported Hoover in the
primary.

REzoNING APPEAL LOST
Judge Denies Petition TO Allow
Business Houses.

Rezoning of the northeast corner
of Meridian and enty-Seventh
SITS. to allow business houses, was
denied by Superior Judge Joseph
M. Miner sitting as special Circuit
Court judge Wednesday, on an ap-
peal from the city board of zonins
appeals.
Judge Miner upheld action OF
the city board. The move to re-
zone the corner was protested by
a large group of property owners,
headed by George j. Marott.
Edward w. Warner, owner, and
Frank F. Wooling, his representa-
tive, had sought to lease the site
to the Pure Oil Company for a
filling station. They cited that
across the street is the Marott Hotel,
and that other corners nearby are
used for business purposes.

SAFER FOR BABIES
Drop Shown in Infant Death
Rate Here.
BIZ Times Special

WASHINGTON, June 14.-In-
dianapolis is becoming a safer city
for babies to live in, according to
1927 infant mortality statistics made
public today by the United States
Census Bureau.
The statistics show that the in
FAINT death rate in Indianapolis
dropped from 679 in 1926 to 56.l
last year AS a result Indianapolis
now is far healthier than the aver
age American city as the infant
mortality rate for the national birth
registration area was 64.3 in 1927.
The city's rate was even better
than that for the entire State
which, although dropping nearly
20 points last year, still stands al
most 3 points above the Indian
apolis rate.

DRY GAUNTLET
TO DEMOCRATS
Plank Pledges Enforcement
and Observance of
Prohibition.
VETS LOOK TO SMITH
Election to Bring Show
down on Issue If Gov
ernor Is Nominated.
BY RAY TUCKER

KANSAS CITY, June 14.-Taking
the dry end of the argument, the
Republicans have put it up to the
Democrats to decide whether the
November election shall provide the
first real showdown on prohibition.
The G. o. P. will nominate a
man who believes that prohibition
is a noble experiment" on plank
which pledges, the party and indi-
vidual Republicans to vigorous en-
forcement and observance of the
Eighteenth Amendment" VETS de-
mand for modification or repeal
were rejected, and the plank cor
stitutes an admission of the sacred
ness of prohibition.

the committee, has agreed not to

vention. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia University.
said he would carry the fight to the
convention itself, even in the face OF
protests by some of his wet hackers.
1t is expected his fight will be
smotlered.
With the adoption of the dry
plank as written, the Republican
party will go into the November
election against a prospective candi-
date who repeatedly has demanded
light wines and beer.
Bank on Smith
Should this situation remain un-
changed, it means that the leading
wet of the nation, Al Smith, will
oppose a man who personally is dry
and making his fight on a platform
eminently satisfactory to Anti
Saloon LeaguerS.
Spokesman for the vets including
the Association Against the Prohi-
bition Amendment, will carry their
pleas to the Democratic convention
in Texas, as the farmers threaten
to do.
They do not expect any more
favorable treatment from the DEM
ocrats than they received here.
But they consider that Smith, If
nominated, will be their platform
bearer.
1.-THE Democrats" said Henry S.
Curran, spokesman for the associa-
ton, may throw us out the front
door, but we will enter by the rear
when Smith is nominated"
Farm Issue Battles
Meanwhile, the Republican plat
form makers struggled even more
with a plank which dovetalls WIN
that of prohibition. Their inability
to frame a satisfactory statement
on farm relief, a question which
agitates the Middle West quite as
much as prohibition, is worrying
Republican strategists.
Agricultural representatives or
the resolutions committee are in
sisting upon straight Endorsement
of the equalization fee, considered
vicious and unsound" by Coolidge,
or on a plank which will advocate
it in a roundabout manner. Stall
wart Republicans like Smoot want
to 90 as far as they can to placaCe
the farmers, but they balk at the
extreme equalization demand

MONDAY is SET
AS. WATER USERS
REMINDER DAY

This is the time of the month when
the unwary are caught in a drought.
The water department will start in
bright and early Monday morning
turning off the water of every user in
the city who has not paid the water
bill for the past month.
The department officials say. that
many people forget They receive their
bill each month and put it away in
tending to drop over to the water Of
flee and pay up or mail in a check and
then they forget and some bright morn
ing they get up thirsty and turn on
the faucet and it turns alright but
nothing comes out of it,
Right then is when dismay starts to
spread A home cannot operate with
out water and even those few who have
lost their tempers and decided not to
pay the bill until they got ready have
got ready pretty promptly after carry
ing enough water in dish pan from
the neighpors, to wash the breakfast
dishes with.
The city water department has found
that the services of a man with water
kew and a little truck are less expen-
sive and pay better returns than all
the due bills they can send out. The
man is kept pretty busy two or three
days each month turning off the water
and then racing back to the water Of
flee to get the order to turn it back on.
It often happens that the water user
beats the key man to the water ottlce.

CONSULS AID
IN HUNT FOR
MISSING MEN

Vice Consul John E. Jones, n charge
of the Aqua Prieta consulate, received
a list yesterday of missing persons for
whom the consular officers are re-
quested to search. These lists are
made up in Mexico City from queries
sent there through the state depart
mcnt and the vice consul here says that
many missing persons are located
through this service.
The list this week is as follows:
L. D. Petross, Jr., IS years of age; 5
feet 9 inches in height, weight about
100 pounds, -fair complexion, brown
eyes. Is probably in oil fields.
Lee w Hope.
r. G. Barineau.
Robert Eugene Sydnor, about 40
years Of age, black hair, blue eyes. A
band saw filler by trade.
Jones says that the carelessness of
Americans going into Mexico is re-
sponsible for much confusion and
trouble in this W2y as a person may
go into some desolate district far from
railroad or a postoffice and, not be-
ing registered with the consulate, his
whereabouts is unknown and he may
be sought after by some relative who
has had no word from him, and be
listed as . missing person.
The consulate maintains a regular
registry service and seeks to secure the
registration of every American enter
ing Mexico so that regardless Of what
happens the consulate knows some
thing definite about where these peo-
pie are. Jones reports that of more
than 300 regular residents in his dis
trict which extends into the mining
country south of Aqua Prieta, and not
more than half dozen are registered
and although many of the American
colony are constantly coming out to
Douglas much confusion would be
avoided at times if they we're all reg
istered..
The lack of registry here is an indi-
cation that Americans going into Mex
leo must feel perfectly safe and must
rely very much on the people among
whom they are living or they would
take this means of maintaining di-
rect connection with their home gov
ernment The consular records show

FORD DEALER
Is BACK HOME
WITH NEW CAR

Travelling the last 1870 miles in 225
minutes, Byron Dieckman, Douglas
Ford Motor company AGENT, returned
from Los Angeles on THURSDAY night
to his home driving one of the
Tudor sedan models of the new
Ford car The trip from Los Angeles
was started on Monday evening but
Mr. Dieck,nan had business in Pnoe-
nix and that caused a stop at the
capital before he continued his Jour-
ney, and again he had to stop on
business at Tucson From Tucson
the trip was made in three and
three fourths hours, or 225 minutes.
Dieckman broughtS back word to
his customers that ne now expects
tc start actual delivery of the cars
already ordered within the next 10
or IS days and that he will be
getting them in reasonably satisfac-
tory order by the middle Of February.
He says that there is no present hope
Of much earlier results but that by
the middle Of March the outlook is
going to be reasonably brieht He
says also that he has information
from authoritative sources tI1at there
will be capacity production o.
10000 cars daily within reasonably
short time but or that basis it is
the forecast of Ford company officials
that it will take fully eight months
to clean up the business which might
be called present orders.
On his return, Dieckman made ob-
se1Vations on the gas use on the
new car and he says that one strip
Of road from Banning to FL Centre
Calf, was made on only six gallons
Of gas while the distance is $50
miles, but he explains that this is
strip largely down grade and was
not considered typical of the results
to be expected. There was, however.
better hint of what might be
expected in the fact that the entire
trip over all types of road showed
an average of 20 miles to the gallon
and Dieckman remarks that this.
with the ear never used until the
run started. is what he calls good
He also suggests that this Ford is
car that can he driven at top
speed from the first mile without any
fear of ill results to the mechanism
and that there is no request Of the
purchaser to keep the speed down
for the first 500 or for any other
number of miles. The privilege to
speed from the start is a part >of
the bargain, he says.
Dieckman says he believes it will
happen that by March he will be
getting shipments direct and from
then on he hopes to be able to
supply not only the orders on file
but new ones as we'll
The car he drove home will be
