APPEAL TO U. S.
FOR PROBE OF
ELECTION FRAUD
House Committee Holds No
IrreguIarity Found in
VermiIIion.

An appeal for federal grand
jury investigation of alleged fraud
and irregularities in the November
election in Vermillion county was
made by Frank Miller, Terre Haute
attorney, at the meeting of the
house of representative elections
committee late Tuesday in the
statehouse to decide the contest of
John A. Hughes Rep) of Newport
against the seating of Louis Doug
las (Dem.) of Dana.
The house committee composed
of eleven Republicans and two
Democrats, after listening to the
evidence and the statements of
Frederick E. Schortemeier, former
secretary of state and attorney for
Hughes, and John McFadden and
Representative Fabius Gwin CDem.)
of Dubois and Martin counties, at
torneyS for Douglass, went into
executive session, following which
Representative Harold r. Donnell
of Decatur and Jennings counties
announced that the contest was
indefinitely postponed and that no
evidence of fraud had been found"
Miller's plea came after the state
ments of witnesses that non-natu-
rallied persons voted in the cleo
ton; that twice as many persons
we're reported in two precincts at
Clinton than in any previous cleo
ton, and that police intimated and
Swallowed Republican workers who
attempted to gather evidence of the
frauds.
Hughes. a former representative,
was defeated by thirty-two votes
in the election and he charged
gross irregularities and perpetra-
ton of frauds"
Miss Edith e. Roach, formerly
Vermillion county deputy clerk and
now employed in the secretary of
states Office, testified in the hear
ing that when she looked over the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES :

records in the Vermillion county
clerks Office a few months ago she
found that erasures had been made
on records dated Nov. 10. IA and Is
and that the name of Mrs. Phyllis
Martin, county clerk, had been
erased and that of Joseph Jones,
the new county clerk, who had
qualified Nov. Is, was substituted.
The point at issue was that Mrs.
Martin had no authority to appoint
justices of the peace on Nov. is to
take deposition in the contest be-
cause she was out of Office.
Attorneys for Eughes pointed out
that although Jones had been sworn
on Nov. 10, he had not been quail
fed until the afternoon of Nov..1 Is.
Miss Roach declared that when
she complained to Circuit Judge
william c. Wait of the erasures he
told her: II am running this court
and not you"
There were entirely too many
votes cast for the population of the
county. I know personally of one
case of fraud" she said.
B. F. Small, Terre Haute attorney
who represented other Republican
election contestants in Vermillion
county, told how Ed Jones and Mrs.
j. Johnston, party workers, investi-
eating the alleged frauds, had been
Swallowed by Clinton police and
warned that they should not ques-
ton any more persons or bother
them if they did not want to be
arrested.

WHEN She GETS UP
FEELING Dull, SHAKY
This Lady Says She Takes
Dose of Black-Draught To
Remove the Cause of
Trouble and Pre-
vent Sickness.

1--WE have used Black raught in
our home over a period of twenty
five years or longer, and it is tried
and true friend" says Mrs. Cath
crime Mears of Leicester, N. G.
Every member of the family
takes it.
81 have never found any other
medicine which could take the
place of Black Draught. A dose OF
it, taken every so often, prevents
constipation and dizziness.
GAS 1 have gotten older, I have
found that one of the quickest ways
to get sick is to allow constipation
to develop. At my age, it comes
quickly, and I have to be careful.
''Black-Draught is my standby.
If I get up feeling dull and shaky,
1 take a small dose to remove the
cause. I cheerfully recommend it
to others, for I have found it a
great medicine for family USE"
Constipation dams up poisons in
the bowels, where they are absorbed
into the general system, causing
many serious symptoms.
Thousands of letters from users
of Thedford's Black-Draught, on
file at the laboratories where Black
Draught is made, testify to the high
esteem in which it is held for the
relief of constipation and attendant
ills.

Break a Cold the First Day

Any doctor or nurse viii tell you that if you
break cold the first day you are unlikely to con.
tract pneumonia or influenza. So don't let cold
hang on. AT the first cough or symptom of cold
or sore throat start with Turpo and break it right
UP. Rubbed on the chest or throat Turpo relieves
congestion, loosens phlegm. Instantly you will
feel the improvement.
AS preventive against flu, snuff little Turpo
up each nostril several times day and flu germs
viii have little chance of getting lodging or
breeding place.
Turpo is an effective antiseptic combining the
old-fashioned remedies of turpentine, camphor
and menthol. Any doctor or trained nurse will
tell you that these ingredients have long been
recognized as effective antiseptics as well as hay
ing really wonderful qualities in relieving colds
or concessions. Turpo costs only IS cents at any
drug store.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Jan. 23.-
It is the same in Halifax as in the
states: prohibition does not prohibit.
Instead of prohibiting, it corrupts
End disturbs.
1t has become a problem here, as
in the United States. Crime, open
defiance of the law, speakeaSies,
oootleggers, big bootleggers, million
aire bootleggers, failure of the
courts, and confusion to politics
such is prohibition in this one of the
two remaining dry provinces.

The Herald and the Mail, while
not against the government, admit
that things are not as they would

speakeasy.

pint of King William and three bot
ties of beer" 1 demanded, and was
accommodated.
Tough Spot Entered
It was the toughest environment
I ever happened to get into. This
place has a lookout built out from
the second-story window, a high,
strong fence on the next lot, with
gates for delivery trucks, and the
habit of paying fine every month,
when the raiding force comes along.
It is not nice place, but they say
the goods are o. k.
why does the ventors' store sell
booze openly and against the law?"
I asked the Rev. D. <. Grant, chief
inspector of the Nova Scotia tenn
perance act. "I wouldn't like to
answer" Mr.. Grant replied.
Mr.. Grant is a sincere prohlbl-
zionist. He is Baptist minister
and a lawyer, as well as an en-
forcer of prohibition. He seemed
rather discouraged with the pres
ent order of things, and in his
annual report admits that rum-run-
ming and violations generally are on
the increase, while giving good rea-
sons for the fact.
Inspectors are Bought
They are the same reasons in
spectors won't stay honest; there
are not enough inspectors; courts
will not convict; the coast is rugged
and folks will have their liquor.
A good reason why Inspector
Grant would not care to comment
on the ope practices of the gov
eminent stores, is that the stores
are directly under the authority of
the provincial premier, E. N. Rhodes.
The latter retained his office after
the last election by a margin OF
one vote in the council.
He is in a position to fire Mr..
Grant, but also is in the position
of a political tight-rope walker.

despaired of ever being my old self

while again. My terrible back-ache
is all gone. My kidneys are about
normal, the constipation relieved,
and all the tired, draggy feeling has
disappeared. My appetite is good,
and hearty eating causes no i'll eff
fects. 1 sleep fine, and am full of
pep all day long. This wonderful
change is all due to Viuna, and it
was my lucky day when I read
about it and decided to try it."

CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
TURNING TO SOUTH
Growth Larger Than Elsewhere
New York Publishing Company
Official Tells Institute.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. Au-
gust 10 P)-The South has enjoyed
in the past decade larger share of
the growth of the American chemical
industry than any other section Of the
United States. and its natural advan-
tages are encouraging further migra-
ton of the industry to It's borders.
H. c. Parmelee. editorial director of
McGraw-Hlll Publishing Co.. New
York, said in an address before the
Institute Of Public Affairs here to-
night. The logic Of this development
in the South is not far to seek nor
difficult to find, Mr.. Parmelee said.
Briefly, 1t lies in the possession OF
natural resources in the form of basic
raw materials and power, adequate
transportation facilities and q good
supply Of ef1icient, intelligent labor, as
well as rapidly growing market for
chemicals.
Chemical industry in the South re-
ceived q tremendous stimulus during
the World War, Mr.. Parmelee said.
The reaction after the armistice, he
added, Frustrated the industry, but the
South had drawn the attention of the
world and soon began to build per-
manently on the foundations laid to
meet a national demand. At present,
Mr.. Parmelee said, chemical produce
ton Is concentrated in New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, while the
raw materials come from all parts OF
the country. On the other hand. the
South is one of the most important
consuming industries. and is not yet
producing the chemicals for its needs
Virginia with an excess production
over consumption Of $4,000 and
Alabama with positive balance of
$4,000 are the only Southern States
that do not consume more than they
produce.

LIBERIA TO PROBE
ALLEGED SLAVERY
State Department Told of
Steps to Bare Rubber
Camps Conditions.

The American legation at Morovia
notified the State Department by cable
today that the Liberian government
has officially announced It's intention OF
investigating alleged slavery In the rub
Der camps and other jungle industries
of the country.
Reports have come from Liberia for
some time that natives are forced ia
work In the rubber forests as slaves and
that slavery Is a common practice
among the native tribes in the interior
The persistence of these rumors has re-
suited in the Liberian governments de.
termination to investigate.
An international commission Is to be
appointed, composed of a Liberian
American. and probably an European
member, for the purpose Of conducting
the inquiry. It is probable that the
board will personally visit the rubber
camps and interview the native work
ers as well as abserve conditions first
hand.
The Liberian government. IL was
stated. is anxious to have the League
of Nations select the third member OF
the commission. This Is desired SO that
there will be assurance of an absolutely
impartial investigation, free from
charge that the board was composed
of representatives of the rubber in
dustry. This government has been re-
quested to designate the American
member.
Considerable American capital Is tied
up in rubber plantations in Liberia It
Is said that labor conditions in the rub
Der camps are satisfactory as far as
can be learned. Odicials here believe if
there is any slavery it is practiced by
the native rubber gatherers who operate
in the interior and bring their products
into the camps proper for sale. These
natives have no official connection with
the rubber companies.

| IN FARLEY FAILURE
Demand for Cruisers Ex'
planned by Admiral Hussey
at WiIIiamStoWn.

By the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, August 10
The breakdown Of the Geneva naval
conference was due to British cabinet
orders to England's conference repre-
sentatives that Great Britain should
not retreat from her demand for q
total cruiser tonnage Of 100000 tons.
Rear Admiral O. L. HuSSey, u. s. N,
retired, said today at the Institute OF
Politics armament limitation round
table.
British representatives at the confer
ence. the admiral said, had maintained
that England's geographical position
made the number Of cruisers q vital
question, and had demanded Is
lo,ooo-ton cruisers and IS smaller
cruisers Of q maximum tonnage OF
$500. This was not true armament
limitation, he declared, adding that
other nations had requested a con-
siderably smaller cruiser tonnage.
Police Cruisers Demanded.
George Young, Labor member of the
British Parliament, disputing the ad-
miral's statement, said the British had
been willing to limit cruisers Of real
fighting value, but had demanded
100000 tons Of small cruisers as .
police force necessary for the patrolling
Of the seas.
The seas must be pohced, he declared,
not only for the benefit of English in
terests, but for international interests
and England would be delighted to
share the Job with America" II she
wishes to accept half of 1t.
Rear Admiral W. L. Rodgers. y. 8. NJ.
attacked Mr.. Young'S statement that q
large number of cruisers must be main
tanned as an international police force.
Pirates and raiders Of international
trade are a thing of the past, he said,
and such force for patrolling the seas
Is no longer necessity.
Vol Views Attacked.
The declaration Of Matthew Vol,
vice president Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, that our increased foreign
investments abroad constitute a "n1en-
ace to the well being Of our masses and
the security of our nationl future" be-
cause Of their affect on labor pay
rolls and thus on our national pros
perity was attacked by George Foster
Peabody, former director of the New
York Federal Reserve Bank.
European profits on American capital
abroad will return to America in the
end to add to this country's prosperity,
Mr.. Peabody declared. The increase
of wages in Europe will ultimately raise
wages in this country. and thus extend
the economic well-being Of the United
States. Mr.. Peabody said.
Prof. T. z. Gregory, economic expert
of London. advocated free trade in his
attack of Mr.. VOLTS policy, which he
characterized as one OF extreme
naturalization"
