Wet sentiment
is REVEALED BY
CONGRESS- POLL
Big Majority of Candidates
Replying Favor Repeal
of Dry Amendment.

~ scTiDps-Hoioard Net1sDaDeT Alliance
WASHINGTON, oct. 3l.-Every
candidate for congress has been
asked his views on repeal of the
eighteenth amendment and As per
cent Of them have replied, giving
new evidence of the extent TO which
this issue figures in the fall cam
paign.
Two years ago the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment
attempted to make such poll but
received a much smaller response.
This year 1913 candidates we're
questioned and 371 replied. OF
these 265 gave definite answer in
favor of repeal. Only ninety-nine
opposed repeal. Others had COM
promise plans for a referendum, or
modification of the Volstead act.
Fights in SO States
The south is the one remaining
stronghold of prohibition, the
answers showed. There the can
didates stood three to one for re-
tanning the amendment.
Along the northeastern seaboard
and in the Great Lake states SEN
timent is overwhelmingly for repeal,
the replies indicated. From the
middle west came seventy eight
answers favoring repeal and twenty
Xix opposing 1t. West of the Rockies,
thirteen candidates were for repeal
and nine against it.
Tabulation of replies showed that
vet and dry fights are being staged
III the congressional campaigns of
thirty-four states, and among these
are such dry strongholds as Iowa,
Arkansas, Texas, Oregon, Utah,
West Virginia and Vermont.
Two Lost In Primaries
From Ohio, home of the Anti
saloon League, one reply favor
ing the eighteenth amendment was
received, while fourteen came op-
posing 1t. From Illinois there were
tWenty-six replies against the
amendment and three for it.
Not an answer. favoring reten-
ton OF the amendment came from
New Jersey and Connecticut.
Among the ninety-nine candidates
Fundamentally supporting the eight
eenth amendment we're Louis Cram
ton and Grant Hudson of Michigan,
both of whom were defeated in the
primaries. The association has not
checked to determine the fate of
the remaining drys.

Mrs. S. B. Kraus, 3O59 M st. N.
W.. Washington, says. THE first
bottle of Miller's Herb Extract
formerly called Herb Juice) I
used brought me a wonderful lot
of relief and a few bottles have
made me forgetrI I was ever in a
badly rundown condition. Before
used this medicine I. could not
rest at night, would be up at all
hours and my feet and limbs
were often so sore and swollen I
could hardly walk; the food I ate
hurt my stomach, gas that formed
caused the stomach to swell and
bloat, liver was out of order and
I always had such heavy slug
gish feeling. was continually
taking pills or other laxatiVes but
most of them only upset me and
I felt worse than before. Friends
of mine who knew of my 'condi-
ton advised me to try this medi-
cine and when they told me how
1t had helped them I said well it
must be a great remedy and I
have found it to be just that.
Thanks to it I no longer have a
sign Of my former trouble and
give this medicine full credit for
my present good health. I can
now eat and enjoy my meals with
out suffering from gas or indiges-
tion pains; swelling has gone out
Of my feet and limbs. I no longer
get UP during the night, bowels
move regularly for the first time
In years and I can truthfully say
that since taking Miller's Herb
Extract I do not have a sign of
my former trouble"

POOL CHECKING
RULE REVOKED
SaIIee Orders Service Be
Made Voluntary.

An order making use of the
checking service at municipal swim
ing pools voluntary instead of COM
pulsory, was issued today by Charles
Sallee, superintendent of parks and
recreation.
ConcesSionaires have been re-
curing all persons to pay 1O-cent
checking fee, whether they had
anything to check or not, Sallee
said.
1.-THE pools are public and such
charges should be voluntary" Sallee
declared. Persons over IA are pro-
hibited from going through a park
if clad only in a bathing suit. Chill
dren receive free checking service
from 10 to u a. m. and from to
4 p. m.
Sallee instructed Recreation Di-
rector David Kilgore to assign an
engineer to each pool to operate the
chlorination system, instead of the
present plan, whereby one man OPP
crates the four pools. The order
resulted from improper operation of
the new pool at Garfield, which re-
suited in temporary closing Thurs
day.

Thursday.
The decision is exactly contrary
to an opinion from Attorney-Gen-
eral James M. Ogden, given Chair
man John w. McCardle of the
commission on Feb. "a. The opinion
upheld jurisdiction of the Indian
apoIs board of safety in bus routing
and denied the commission author
ity in the matter.
Sale Right Demanded
Written by George w. Hufsmith,
assistant attorney general in charge
of utility cases, the opinion was
based on the decision of the supreme
court in q Muncie bus case in which
local governmental jurisdiction was
upheld and commission Jurisdiction
denied.
In the commission decision, writ
ten by Commissioner Frank Single
ton, it was held that the Indianapo-
lis board of safety had the right to
permit the Logan j. Smith Union
street bus line to operate around the
Circle, but did not have the right to
permit the buses to stop for pas
SengerS there.
The old terminal of this line was
at Maryland and South Meridian
streets. The safety board granted
the line permission to extend around
the Circle and pick up passengers.
Objection was raised by the Peoples
Motor Coach Company, who wanted
sole right to this privilege,
Ignores Home Rule Opinion
Singleton's decision, approved by
all commissioners, gives the same

and take on passengers, but sets out
that the safety board did not have

WABASH, Ind, June 20.-"Ameri-
cans shudder when they think of
10000 natives of India dying Of
snake bite in 1929, but they think
nothing of the fact that $1,000 were

this country during the same per-

Secretary of State Otto G. Fifield
used this illustration in a plea to
curb carelessness while addressing
the Chamber of Commerce here
Thursday night.
During the last three years near
" twice as many people were killed
in automobile accidents as Amerl-

World war;" he declared.
Never was a battle fought IN any
war where the killed and wounded

She had her five trunks packed
today, and by nightfall expected to
be we'll on her way toward the
screen capital, where she will have
great many more matters to
"straighten OUT than those which
brought her to the south.
She was leaving behind her a
young and handsome Dallas doctor,
who probably heaved a sigh of re-
lief as he started gathering the
loose ends of a medical practice,
which he told Clara had been
totally ruined by publicity attend
ing her visit.
"It's been all wrong" said the
"it" girl. "I'm not a home wrecker
I don't care about the doctor any
more. I'm not in love with any
man. I didn't mean to harm any
one"
She came to Dallas to "Straighten
out little matter for boy friend"
she said. Before she left she had
been scolded by her fiance, and had
incurred the wrath of officials of the
company for which she works.
She made her sudden decision to

the nomination" Senator Pat Har-

Harrison's reference to Morrow
came during speech reviewing
recent primary results which
showed, the Mississippi senator
said, that with rare exceptions
those gentlemen who sponsored
and helped to frame the Hawley-
Smoot tariff bill are being defeated.
He said Morrow's opponent,
Representative Franklin Fort and
Former Senator FrelinghuySen had
supported the tariff and frequently
discussed it in their campaign
speeches.
Called Anti Hoover
Harrison called Fort the Hoover
candidate" and Morrow the anti
Hoover candidate"
Some papers even said the
President was jealous of Morrow
because he was a candidate for the
nomination in 1882" Harrison said.
yet, Mr.. Morrow received a tele-
gram from the President promising
support.
Il don't know why the President
sighted so many other Republican
nominees. He was quick to remove
the idea that his chief opponent in
1882 would not receive his support
in the coming election"
Senator Caraway Denl., Ark) in
terrupted Harrison to say that in
1928 Hoover was hailed as "the
hope of the drys," but that the only
Republican who has run in recent
primaries as a wet was Eat once as
sured by the dry administration
that he had its support"
Doesn't Back Others
"The President Immediately as
Sured Morrow of his support" Cara
way said. But Mrs. Mccormick
ran as a dry in Illinois and will be
opposed by a wet, yet the President
has said nothing to her. Secretary
of Labor Davis won as a dry in
Pennsylvania, but has received no
assurance of support
That's the way to play, both ends

piled.

the collision with the rear of the
interurban car was inevitable, he
might have escaped. injury by jump
ing back from his platform into the
aisle of the car, but the impact
caught him with his hands still on
the controls
Seven Negroes, occurants of the
car, suffered cuts and bruises and
were sent to city hospital.
IT saw the street car jerk dizzily
around the corner at Roosevelt ave-
hue and Columbia, and realized 1t
was out of control" said c. H. Fort,
a postoffice special deliveryman, who
witnessed the accident.
MOtorman Fights Gamely
"Pierson was fighting gamely with
the controls. Two hundred feet OF
track stretched in front of him be-
tween the corner and the interur-
ban, which was standing still.
"TIe never jumped back. Then the
crash came and he was pinioned
under his controls, his leg virtually
severed.
"'Cut the current Off were his
first words to us after we pried open
the doors. He sure had grit. We still
couldn't get him out.
Looking down at his leg eve had
put a tourniquet around the stump
he said: Well, boys, it's been good
old leg, but it's no good now. We
might as well leave it here "
Thinks of Company's Money
'"Then he thought of the money in
the car. rs there a street car man
here?' he asked. Tell him to take
care of that money
We couldn't free him until the
interurban pulled ahead a bit"
Pierson never lost consciousness.
His condition at the hospital today
was reported satisfactory" and his
recovery is, expected. He had been
employed by the street car company
four years.
