TRUCE IS DECLARED
Stock Battle in Chicago
Comes to End.

BU United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-The Chicago
Board of Trade has agreed to aban-
don its dual listing of stocks traded
in by the Chicago Stock Exchange
and as result peace was declared
today between the two organiza-
tions.
The quarrel between the business
giants, which for a time threatened
to develop into a war to the death,
started several months ago after an
attempt at consolidation failed. The
grain mart took up stock trading,
Whereupon the exchange refused to
allow its members to trade on the
board.
The compromise agreement, ten
tatively reached Friday night, will
be promulgated formally today
when Governors of the exchange
hold a meeting to set the date on
which it's members will be per-
mitted to resume trading on the
board. Under it's terms the board
of trade will not list any stocks
dealt in on the exchange, while the
latter will turn over fifty issues to
it's rival.

COUNCIL War
VERBAL ONLY
Both Sides Mark Time on
JeWett Charges.

Although city councilmen con-
tinued to wage a verbal battle with
Charles w. Jewett, former mayor
and G. o. P. campaign speaker, who
has been attacking the Slack ad-
ministration, neither had taken any
definite steps today to start a
councilmanic investigation.
Jewett's charge that irregular
tiles" exist in city purchases was
greeted with a demand for SHOW
down" by Council President Edward
B. Raub Sr. Raub issued g. state
ment declaring he will call a special
council meeting any time before the
election if Jewett desires to present
his charges, but JeWett has been
too busy defending the Republican
candidates in his campaign talks.
Councilmen Albert Meurer and
Paul Rathert issued statements that
they will push an investigation of
the city purchasing department, but
not until the next meeting, Nov. IL,
which is after the election.
"If Meurer can show basis for
investigation I'll make him chair
man of the committee" Raub Sug-
gested.
Observers believe the "investiga-
ton" talk was started by Jewett to
divert attention from the real issues
of the campaign on Boss George v.
Ccff1n, and will be dropped after
Tuesdays election.

Bu United Press
BERLIN. Nov. 2.-The National
ist party won an initial victory to-
day in its campaign to defeat Ger
many's acceptance of the Young
reparation plan by obtaining the
necessary number of signers to a
petition which assures the calling
of a referendum on acceptance of
the plan.
Not until today was the final out
come of the Nationalist campaign
certain. The last hours of tabulat-
ing the signatures to the petition
gave the Nationalists slight mar
gin over 100000 signers required
to force the calling of the referen-
dunn. That number constitutes 10
per cent of Germany's total elec-
torate.
Earlier in the week, slight hope
had been held for success of the
Nationalist campaign, but Friday,
as reports began to come in from
east Prussia and other National
ist strongholds the tabulations rose
to 9.8 per cent, slightly under the
required number.
Before noon today, with 80 per
cent Of the total electorate counted,
the Nationalists seemed assured of
victory with the support of 1016 per
cent of the electorate. About noon,
it was announced officially that the
tabulations were complete and that
the opponents of the Young plan
had obtained sufficient number of
signerS to force the reichstag to call
the referendum.
Victory for the petition, however,
does not mean necessarily defeat of
the ratification of the Young plan.
To succeed with the referendum, the
Nationalist now must swing one
half of the total electorate Or about
20,500,000 votes. The bare margin
by which the Nationalist succeeded
in their petition was ground for pre-
dictionS of their ultimate defeat in
the referendum.

AD CAMPAIGN
CAUSES SMASH
Extravagant Drive Led to
UtiIity'S Collapse.

Bp United Press
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. a.
Extravagant advertising was limited
today as the cause of the collapse
of the $20,000,000 w. B. Foshay
Company, one of the largest bank
ing, public utility and real estate
firms in the middle west.
Twin City financial leaders de-
clared the bankruptcy was not due
to the stock market break, but
rather to the $500,0O0 advertising
campaign and celebration which
marked the completion in Septem-
ber of the firms thirty-two-s story
office building in Minneapolis.
Public confidence apparently was
destroyed by the display, it was said,
and this resulted in removal of
banking support.
Although the crash was termed
"the greatest economic disaster in
the history of the northwest" no
criminal action was contemplated
against Foshay and his associates,
at least pending an official state
ment giving the institutions f1nan-
cial condition,

new DRY HEAD
NOT FANATIC
Prohibition Chief Is Friend
of VoIStead.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
ST. PAUL, Nov. 2.-Although he
never has taken a drink, he is not
fanatic, Gustav Aaron Youngquist,
appointed by President Hoover to
succeed Mabel Walker WTillebrandt
as encouragement in charge of
prohibition, told the United Press.
"I am dry both politically and
personally" said the 44-year-old at
torney, a close friend of Andrew
Volstead, author of the prohibition
act.
Other than declaring his pleasure
over the appointment was bound
less, although he hated to leave
Minnesota" Youngquist had moth
ing else to say for publication. He
indicated fanaticism would not en-
ter his administration of the post
and that he would have little to say
to newspaper reporters.
Volstead said: Il consider Young
quist very good lawyer, a man of
high caliber and worthy success
Sor to Mrs. Willebrandt."
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-11-02

The Democrats also claim
a victory, basing their claim
on the 10000 plurality gained
by Daily, and 5000 by Lud-
low.
The same conditions which
existed in 1923 exist in 1929.
Then, the fight was against Coffin
and despite a bitter struggle put up
by his organization, it was unable
to return Updike to congress.
WinkIer by $4,000
1t is true that Winkler was elected
sheriff by $4,000 votes, defeating
Sumner-but the situation was this:
Winkler had made an excellent
reputation as a prohibition chief
and although allied with Coffin, he
escaped much newspaper attack
because of the attention that was
paid to the race for Governor and
congress. Through lethargy he
slipped into office.
Yet, although his victory was
great, Coffin refused to name him as
mayor because of the well-knoWn
fact that Winkler could not be
elected.
The "boss" turned instead tC
Alfred M. Glossbrenner, who, he
hoped, would be able to campaign
without the Coffin stigma.
The Republicans claim an or
ganization of 5000 members, COM
posed of precinct committeeman with
executive councils of thirty ant
SubcouncilS of the same number.
