G. O. P. REBELS PUT THIRD
PARTY IN CITY CAMPAIGN
Albert Neuerburg to Head
Ticket as Mayoralty
Candidate.

Formation of an independent
party intended to appeal to business
and civic leaders and to Republican
workers whose services have been
ignored by the organization, is be-
ing sponsored by Albert Neuerburg,
president of the Indianapolis Fed
Grafton of Community Civic Clubs,
it was learned today.
Neuerburg, real estate dealer, re-
siding at 4401 East Tenth street, will
head the ticket for mayor. He anu
his friends are selecting business
men and civic leaders for the coun-
cilmanic ticket, he said.
A definite decision on the name
of the party and the date of filing
will be made within the next forty
eight hours, Neuerburg said. He
has until Oct. Is In which to file
his ticket.
Neuerberg believes he will receive
support from civic organizations
which have felt that their claims
to recognition in city government
have been ignored constantly.
"I have been approached by
friends and civic leaders and bust
ness men to head an independent
nonpartisan ticket" Neuerburg said
His friends, he said, have felt the
need for a party taking definite
stands on taxation, non. partisan
police and fire departments, and
business-like and economical ad-
ministration of city affairs.
Taxation is of interest to every
citizen and if the city is TO prosper
it will be necessary to curb the pres
ent and constantly increasingly tai
rate" Neuerburg asserted.
81 am convinced that the present
tax rate could be, and should be-
considerably lower.
Police and fire departments must
not be used as political tools. As
departments organized for the pro-
lection of the public rank and file
they should receive more considera-
ton from both officials and the
people, and should pay wages thai
would insure their maintenance or
high plane.

15-YEAR Term

Bp United Press

Bp United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Charles
DeloS Waggoner pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to fifteen years i'm
prisonment in the Atlanta federal
penitentiary today for defrauding
New York banks of $500,000 to meet
what he claimed was moral obli-
cation to the people of Telluride,
Colo.
Specifically, the slender, grazing
bank president of the Telluride in
Stitution was charged in six counts
with using the mails to defraud in
an elaborate financial transaction
which left a tangled state of affairs
in New York, Denver and Telluride.
There may be years OF litigation
before it is definitely determined
who will be the loser, besides Wag-
goner.
Waggoner, on the stand, spoke
low and slowly. He described the
great outdoors of Telluride, con-
traSting it with New York and its
hustle and hustle of business. He
pictured q home-loving community
depressed financially, which depend
ed on it's banker for safety in flnan-
cial shoals.
But United States District At
torney Charles H. Tuttle denied all
this, saying that the Telluride bank
would get only 5000 and Waggoner
the rest under the scheme.
"He has been embezzling from
the bank for years." the United
States attorney said in asking for
severe punishment and likewise an
nouncing that the guilty plea was
not prearranged.
When sentence was passed, Wag-
goner was peering out a window of
the courtroom, his back toward the
court. He seemed unmoved. His
wife and their 26-year-old son,
Charles Delos Jr., likewise appeared
calm.

SUCCESSOR TO
DR.. SHUMAKER
Sam McNaught Considered
for SuperintendenCy of
Dry League.
M'BRiDE HERE TO ACT
Condition of Present Head
Still Critical, Despite
Slight Rally.
M'BRiDE HERE TO ACT

Sam McNaught, superintendent of
the Iowa Anti-Saloon League and
former attorney of the league here,
is considered a likely successor 70
DR.. E. S. Shumaker, it was reported
to dry leaders here today.
The report followed a conference
late Wednesday between DR.. Shu-
maker and F. Scott Mcbride, Wash
ington, national head of the league.
The meeting was at Shumaker'S bed
side at the home, 1882 Broadway,
where the Indiana dry chieftain is
seriously ILL.,
Today league officials reported not
much improvement in his condition,
although Mcbride said, following
the interview with him, that he was
rallying somewhat.
Little hope is held for his re-
covery.
Committee TO Approve
Mcbride, who will select the new
Indiana AntiSaloon League super
intendent, with approved of the
state committee, declared that it
will not be anyone at the present
time connected with the leaueg here.
This plan is followed to avoid fac
tional fights, he pointed out.
1T is probable that man from
some smaller state organization will
be selected for the Indiana super
intendency" Mcbride declared. "It
will be a. promotion for the ap-
pointee"
This description exactly fits Nc
Naught and dry leaders know that
he has the backing of Shumaker
himself and always has been held
high in McBride's esteem.
Winders Out
DR., G. II. Winders, Indianapolis
minister and former secretary of the
Church Federation of Indianapolis,
now Is acting chief. 1t was said
that he will not be considered for
the post.
Representative Frank CBone Dry)
Wright of indianapolis is said to
have been solicited for the post
by several headquarters committee
men, but has refused to become a
candidate.
The successor to Shumaker must
be able to make his way in pulpit,
press and among the politicians
Shumaker admittedly was success
full in all fields, for more than q
quarter century.

he was in the room at the time the

'Pantages came to see me in San

Sheridan testified. After I prom
sled to do what I could, he told me
a story of incidents that occurred
and we discussed the story was to
tell. I was to say that was in the
room when the girl entered and that
I saw her in the doorway, with one
arm and one leg in the room.
Il was to say that left the room
for few minutes and that when
returned, she was in the same
position"
PantageS was on his feet all the
time Sheridan was teStifying. He
was stirred visibly and prompted his
attorneys in their cross S-examina-

Secretary of State Otto G. Fifield
today admitted that through an er-
ror his department failed to allow
space on the yellow license stub for
the operators signature.
If the license had been printed
properly, space for the signature
of the driver would have been car
ried Immediately below the ovaI-like
space for the typed name and ad-
dress.
Signed in Ink
Informed of the confusion, John
G. McCord, drivers license law
judge, said the licenses should be
signed by drivers and chauffeurs
with pen and ink in the space in
dicated in the accompanying photo,
just below the oval bearing the
printed name and address of the
holder.
Many drivers. according to
Scrogin, have placed their sigma
lures on one or both of the white
coupons attached to the left of the
actual license. These two coupons,
McCord said, are to be detached by
the judge and signed by the oper-
ator after the latter has been
adjudged guilty of a violation Of
the license law.
Drivers who saw no other place
for signatures, in many instances,
signed the coupons, which might in
dicate they have been arrested and
convicted without the coupons hav-
ing been clipped.
Under the law, the licenses are
not valid unless signed properly, and
the majority of drivers have not
signed them properly. F'ifield said
coupon signatures will not invali-
date the licenses.
Checks 20 Drivers
Scroggin said he checked twenty
drivers licenses and learned eleven
persons signed, not the license, but
the two violation coupons; one
signed coupon No. l, three signed
coupon No. 2 and five had not
signed either the license or the
coupons.
"State police now are busy max
ing a roundup of all motorists who
do not carry drivers licenses" FL
field said. while the signature is
very important, the police will not
make arrests for failure to sign I'M
til the public has had an oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with
the matter"
McCord explained the arrest and
conviction purposes of the coupons
and said that the long strip at the
top of the licenses and coupons
should be detached and kept by the
driver. Should the license be lost,
a duplicate will be issued by the
state department, on receipt of the
strip.
