CANDIDATES TOE
Line FOR START
OF VOTES WAR
1000 Expected in Field as
Filing Period Ends at
Midnight Saturday.
BY BEN STERN

But forty-eight hours remain
until the starter fires the gun for
the elimination trials in Marion
country's biennial political race.
This afternoon, candidate Num-
Der $780, signed his name on the
dotted line. When the filings Tor
the primary election May 6 close
at midnight Saturday, approx
mately 1000 Marion county eiti-
zens will have filed for one county
Office or another, according to AL
bert Snyder, veteran election clerk.
The heaviest filing, of course, will
be for precinct committeeman.
Every precinct in the county will
be contested in an effort to wreSt
control of the Republican organi-
zation from George V. Coffin.
Bar to Vote Choice
Two methods of elimination OF
undesirable candidates will be at
tempted in this years primary.
Leroy Reach, Democratic county
chairman, has declared he will call
county convention within the next
few days at which candidates will
be Endorsed and those who do lot
receive appreciation will be afforded
an opportunity to withdraw.
After bitter debate the Indian
apolis Bar Association has decided
to ballot on the qualifications of the
various contestants for judicial posts
and prosecuting attorney and make
public it's choices.
Coffin Group to Fight
The Citizens Republican Club,
anti-Coffin organization, has an
nounced it's intention to stage a de-
ternined fight to WreSt control of
the Republican organization from
Coffin. The latter's adherents, who
for years have been sustained by
public pay rolls, are just as deter
mined that they shall not lose their
seats at the taxpayers table and will
exert every effort to retain their
hold.
Democrats as yet have shown no
sign of internal disorder, and only
$40 Democrats have filed for the
331 precinct committee posts.
However, but three candidates for
Democratic precinct committeeman
in Warren township had filed by
noon today.
Contests Staged
Snyder reported 585 Republican
candidates for committee posts had |
filed by noon and at least 500 more
are expected to enter the primary
battle by midnight Saturday.
The post of sheriff will be the
most bitterly contested. Eight Re
publicans and six Democrats have
filed for this position.
A strange anomaly is the race for
county coroner with nine Repub-
licans filing and no Democrats.
A bitter internecine competition
is being staged by the Democrats
for judge of superior court four,
judge of the juvenile court and .
prosecuting attorney.
Five have filed for the nomination
for room four, four for juvenile
court and four for prosecutor.
Few File in Townships
Three Republicans have filed for
room one; three for room two, and
four for room five.
Only two have fled for the Re
publican nomination for prescott
ing attorney. They are the present
incumbent, Judson L. Stark, and
Laurens L. Henderson.
One of the bitterest struggles of
the Republican primary will be
staged for this Office.
Only one Republican had filed for
a post in Lawrence township at
noon, a candidate for township
trustee.
No Republicans or Democrats have

From the Chattanooga News.
"It Is deplorable," Chancellor Philip
Snowden told the British House Of Com
mons Monday, that we and other pow
ers should spend so large q part OF our
resources on new armaments and prepa-
rations for another war;"
Great Britain has been able to reduce
its budget estimates for the army and
navy only slightly, and Snowden told
the House of Commons that the country
must raise f784 ,145,000 (almost $4,000
000, 000) for next years expenses.
America can continue to spend money
on the Army and Navy without actually
bringing the country toward bankruptcy,
although the moral effect Is pernicious.
England, however. must find q means
Of cutting down expenses.
New income taxes are to be imposed
in Great Britain. The new schedule
will require a married Englishman who
earns $1,000 year to pay approx
mately $527 to the government. An
American with the same earning ca
pacity pays only 1852.
We admire the spirit Of the Labor
government spokesman, who said, "As
long as / hold this position the country
shall pay its way by honest methods"
England's financial situation should be
Of grave concern to the world. In o
well ordered scheme of things nations
would do everything possible to help q

food ana game fish. In this aspect OF
the matter the District Of Columbia
while not o State itself, is directly In
volved, for In the discussion Of the bill
it was brought out that Virginia and
Maryland after the lapse of hundred
years finally got together on the pro-
lection of the oyster industry; that by
the time they did there were few oysters
left and that the District, by dumping
its sewage into the Potomac, is gradually
destroying even those. Representative
Linthicum of Maryland in this con-
nection said: 81 have been bringing It
to the attention of Congress for many
years and am told there Is a move
ment in the right direction now. 1t Is
q most important matter to Maryland
and to Virginia, and especially to the
District of Columbia"
BY the time the five-year period con-
templated has expired and the last Of the
generous appropriation Of nearly more
than three millions Of dollars is exhaust
ed, it behooves every State and every
territory SO to have purged itself Of
wasteful conditions and practices and
archaic or inquitous laws that the sue
cess Of this ng-anticipated and long
desired Federal legislation shall attain
the one hundred per cent that 1t
deserves.

are dead. A sta wind prevailed at
the time and the Sound was rough.
Small "lifeboats" put overheard were
swamped. Men who donned life pre-
servers hastily, and evidently without
any knowledge Of how to fasten them
securely, found them useless when they
were in the water, the belts slipping
of and letting them sink.
This steamer was built forty-seven
years ago in Brooklyn-one report puts
her age at hirty-seven-and has been
in service since her launching. She was
a finder box, her structure being en-
tirely Of wood. Her upper works and
cabins were almost explosively COM
bustible. She went into a complete
fame within five minutes from the first
puff of smoke. Yet she was passed by
inspectors short time ago for con-
tinued service. She evidently carried a
highly dangerous cargo, for there is
mention of gasoline that "let 60" while
the fire was raging, completing the de-
struction.
Inasmuch as this was freight and
not a passenger carrying vessel, the
fact that she was passed for service
may not call for inquiry. 1t is not con-
templated by the law governing steam
boat service that every ship should be
of metal construction. The day Of
wood afloat has not passed. Yet there
is surely some limit to the permissible
use of firetraps at sea. Rules for the
protection Of passengers should apply
to the protection OF seamen.

Automatic Copyright
Is Asked for Writers

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
How dramatic writing fares was set
forth in figures at the hearing on the

Dramatists' Guild sponsored the meas
ure, which provides that copyright on
his manuscript automatically shall oe
vested In the author without applica-
ton. and that in the case of playwrights
1t shall cover separately use in maya
zine serials, on the stage, in the movies
and over the radio.
The provision would insure the play
wright four different royalties. Stage
producers appeared in opposition. Coun-
sci for the Shuberts protested that the
guild wants so many golden eggs from
the goose that 1t Is in danger Of killing
the goose. Stock companies no longer
are a source Of revenue for New York
producers, and If the movie rights are
taken from them, he said, they all will
go broke. He estimated that 70 per cent
Of the New York productions are finan-
cial failures. Then he listed 80 sue
cesses which Melted the authors from
$l00, 900 to $4,000 in royalties.
The statement may not be overdrawn.
Flo Ziegfeld, announcing plans for a
billion-dollar talking picture producing
company, said he Is preparing to present
Eddie Cantor In a screen version of
'tWhoopee." Incidentally, he let it be
known that Cantor had drawn S750,O00

"Who's Hoodlum in Chicago"

In q land where the libel laws are
still on the books. the Chicago Crime
Commission has selected twenty-eight
men for listing under the caption who's
Hoodlum in Chicago" and has branded
them as public enemies" who Should
be treated accordingly" Yet the action
of the Crime Commission, taken against
citizens presumably innocent under the
law, will be accepted as merely another
interesting if unimportant development
in a city that recently gave to the world
the news that its leading gangsters,
following the industrial trend, had de-
cided upon a merger in the interest of
peace, bigger and better crime and vice.
No one suspects that "Scarface Az
Capone, "Eugs" Moran, "Polack Joe"
Salts, Terry Druggan or Joe Aiello,
solid citizens in this land of the free
and the brave, will resent the publica-
ton of their names, virtually listing
them as outlaws with q price upon their
heads, to the extent of going to court
and asking that something be done
about 1t. To them the Crime Commits

Hole.in-0ne Hospitality.

In Wallingford, Conn, a small city
noted as silver manufacturing center,
there is long-established company
making sterling and plated silverware
which specializes in trophies, athletic
and otherwise. AS means of gaining
good will and advertising its excellent
products it presents small appropriate
prize cups to golfers throughout the
United States who perform the envied
and attested feat Of accomplishing a
"hole In one"
Officials of this concern are authority
for the tact that during 1929 no fewer
than two thousand eight hundred such
cups were distributed to happy golfers,
ranging from those who patronize the
most exclusive country clubs to those

Of friends, almost every hole of which
is in some way unusual, If not unique.
The green on one in particular, short
one, is at the apex of mound of such
decided rise that 1t might almost be
termed pyramid. He who shoots
short for this green Is unfortunate. for
his ball rolls brislkly backward long

is at the bottom. so that any ball land

This Is not the only curiosity. The

Less Time Between Bites.

Anglers may not have known it, but
Thursday, April II. was red-letter
day for them. Their bodies may have
been far from stream or lake and their
minds uncrossed by even thought Of
fishing; nevertheless that date was
noteworthy in the angling records of
them all. for on that occasion the
House of Representatives passed meas
ure, already passed by the Senate,
which provides for five-year con-
struction, maintenance and expansion
program for the United States Bureau
of Fisheries and which carries appro-
priations therefor totaling $3,335, 900.
Under this measure, known as the
White bill, total of thirty new fish,
cultural stations, substations and iabora-
tories are to be established costing in
all $l,735, 900, no fewer than twenty
seven OF which are either exclusively or
primarily for the propagation and con-
servation Of game fish, while authori-
cation to acquire several additional
steel FISH distribution cars, costing $75,-
900 apiece, is also provided. Such cars
are used almost entirely for the trans
portation of game fish.
