CUT PRICE ON POOR
RELIEF BASKETS ST. %
Lower Grocery Figures Will Mean
Saving for Township.

Prices on three classifications of
Center township poor relief are be-
ing reduced a total of $1.22, Miss
Hannah A. Noone, trustee, stated
today. Lower food prices make the
decreases possible.
The basket for families of five
members or more was decreased
from $500 to $4.25; a reduction of
80 cents makes the basket for fam
lilies of three to five members cost
So, and a decrease of II cents fixes
the price of the two-member bas-
kets at sos.
Quantity and quality of food will
remain the same, according to Miss
Noone. The poor relief plan now
in operation will be continued, at a
cost of about $4,000 a month, she
said.

O DE4N . LEON
IT is rather strange that during all
4 the present discussion of Demo-
cratic gubernatorial and senatorial
possibilities, the name of John
Friedrich does not crop up.
Yet a year ago he was being adj
vanced for everything from state
chairman up and down the line.
If nothing else, the Kokomo man
ufacturer is the best example of the
adage that business success does
not necessarily assure political sue
cess.
Friedrich would be forgotten to-
day if cit were not FOR the reports
that John DePrez, Shelbyville pub
Usher, who is being advanced for
state chairman, has indicated to
friends that he eSpouseS the manu-
facturer for this post.
The same factors which kept
Friedrich from becoming his party'S
nominee for senator in 1926 and for
Governor in 1928 will keep him from
again becoming really formidable
figure in Indiana politics.
And these are two-first, al
though of boundless ambition, he
lacks the ability to follow through"
second, the quality and character of
his supporters.
Friedrich has failed in politics at
the crucial moment.
Last year his was the brain back
Of the movement to supplant Chair
man r. Earl Peters with Lee Bays
of Sullivan.
He promised to deliver a specified
number of votes at the state reor-
ganization meeting and failed.
Bays supporters were unanimous
in blaming the defeat upon the
manufacturer inability to perform.
HE likes to sit around and act
the part of the executive, but he
can't deliver" was their verdict
when Peters was elected by half
vote.
In the senatorial primary of 1926
he lacked fewer than 5000 votes of
tying the leader and went into the
convention cocksure that he would
be the nominee.
Il
But Albert Stump, a comparative
newcomer, who has both the ambi-
ton and the ability to go in and
fight, won the nomination.
In the 1928 gubernatorial primary,
Friedrich got 1884 votes to 1929
for Frank G. Daley
His friends shouted that he would
be the choice of the convention, but
Daley was nominated on the first
ballot.
No one questions Fredrick's ex-
ecutive ability. AS an index year
after year he has been reelected
chairman of the State Chamber of
Commerce. But he seems unable to
follow through"

Bright Future Provided For,

that his father had been killed

plosion that was making all Linton
heartsick.
John thought back. He remem-
bered few years before when an
other man had stood at the door
and told his mother of the death
Of his two brothers in mine dis
aSter.
If John did not wonder what his
future was to be, his mother did.
The family income, never very large,
was now cut off altogether. A job
for herself was almost out of the
question. There were no jobs-not
in Linton, anyway.
But nearby, in Bloomfield, Mrs.
Letot found there was man who
was already making plans for TAX
ing care of just such boys as John
plans that would allow a great
many John LetotS to enjoy normal
home environments.
ELMER w. SHERWOOD, state
IL chairman of the American Lee
gion child welfare committee was
the man.
Only a short time before the mine
explosion he had sent to each Lee
pion post and auxiliary in the state
a challenge, calling for them to be
"big brothers to underprivilged
children of World war veterans.
Soon after the Little Betty trag-
edy the women's auxiliary at
Greenfield agreed to give John Le-
tot Jr. chance in life, along with
Eugene Cooper 10, and Mary Coop
er, 8, whose father, Clarence Cooper,
also was among those who were
taken from the Little Betty, man

JOIN THE FIGHT
OVER BROWN DERBY
It's on Again, So Sharpen
Up Your Pencils and
Get in Trim.
It's here again!

It's here again!
What? Why the dizziest, WOOL
lest, nonpolitical, nonsectarian, me-
lee of the age.
It's the 1881 edition of the Brown
Derby.
Yep, all prettied up like the
zebra on new merry go-round
comes the announcement today
from tie keepers of Mr.. Sweeney's
morgue that the Brown Derby will
gallop over the city in an effort TO
select 1875 most distinguished citi-
zen in Indianapolis.
And what a derby it promises
to be this year! Whatta derby
just think! The winner will be
crowned the night of Sept. lin
dianapolis night-at the Indiana
state fair.
Get on Your Marks!
He will be topped with the royal
headpiece on that night at p. m.
But that's not all, loyal subjects
of the tophats, for the winner be-
sides the coronation will receive
from The Indianapolis Times a
bronze plaque as his straw lid is dis
carded for the coronet of the COM
munity.
The king of 1880, George .Winkler,
will abdicate his throne.
But the abdication of King George
just is a thought, for deep comes
the rumble that the eX-sheriff of
Marion county desires one more
term under the dandruff-dipper.
Then, too, comes the word that
the hackers of Mayor Reginald H.
Sullivan, runner-up for the sky
piece of 1880, may enter the lists.
But, there, It's unfair to other en-
trants to make mention of problem
atical candidates, for the derby track
is broad and open to every one.
Get Set! Ready!
Ballots, starting Saturday, will be
printed in The Times.
The contest has no rules. Bal
lots can be cast with machine gun
rapidity up to 8 a. m. Sept. 10. Re
peaters are as welcome as they are
in the United States penitentiary at
Leavenworth, Kan.
Yeah! It's here again, the BROWN
DERBY, and just waiting to grid
some noble dome.
Whittle off the lead pencil, fill
the fountain pen, and get ready to
write your candidates name until
your sweat-band drops.
The battles on this Saturday.

MONSIEUR EQUINE, Commo-
4VA dore Horse, Mrs. Mare and
Miss Filly and others of the "Hoss
Four Hundred" are going to be
bored to death at the Indiana state
fair, Sept. to IL.
For when they enter the fair
ground horse building to exhibit
their gaits, trots and gallops, they'll
have to listen eternally to q big
stallion telling of my operations"
The gelding is none other than
the plug" being ridden by Colleoni,
one-time "big-wig" in the Italian
army, in the John Heron Art in
Stitute.
Now the gelding is only a plaster
of-paris statue with Colleoni as
tribe him, but they do say he
champs and snorts at the bit and
talks in horsey language when no
ones around except the dust.
So the equine world is prepared
to hear Colleoni's horse tell Of ''4liS
operation" and how he rivaled the
stage women whove been sawed
in-half.
y
TINE operation" began this week
4 at the art institute as Colleoni
and his horse, after fifteen years
stance in the museum, were ordered
removed to a new pedestal in the
equine buildings at the Playground.
The statue is being loaned the fair
board by the art museum.
Colleoni's horse and even his own
armored self carry weight like a
Twenty Grand for the statue scales
in at three tons and is twenty feet
in height.

today cutting off the legs Of Col
leoni's charger.
Colleoni was dismounted from his
horse with the aid of a buck-saw
and a derrick Wednesday.
And what a braggart Colleoni's
charger can be at the Playground
for he can tell how he was trucked
bit by bit to his new stall, plastered
together again, given a coat of
bronze paint and turned out to gaze
and be gazed upon by the multitude
of fair visitors.

TRUSTEES TO
RUSH SUDOVICH
DEPORTATION
Lake County Killer, Center
of Parole Scandal, to
Get Swift Action.
ORGY REPORT DOUBTED
Warden Daily Is Convinced
That Thug Was Not at
Capone ReveIS.

Nick Sudovich, Lake county
slayer, racketeer and Capone hench-
man, is to be released from the
state penitentiary at the trustees
meeting Aug. %, so he may be de-
ported to Yugo-Slavia Immediately,
it was learned today.
Although the minimum term OF
his two-to- twenty one-yearS' prison
sentence for the Staying of Uron
Marovich, rival racketeer, does not
expire until November, Warden
Walter F. DAILY has announced that
the board will consider his case at
the next meeting and take immedi-
ate steps to have him sent away as
an undesirable alien.
This action closely follows the
report that, while granted a fifteen
day parole and an extension of
fifteen days by DAILY and Governor
Leslie to aJrenu to important pri-
vate business" the racketeer at
tended farewell parties in honor of
Capone.
Doubts Party Story
DAILY says that after questioning
Sudovich he is convinced that he
did not attend the Capone parties.
Meanwhile, the Governors office
declares that DAILY is responsible for
the parole given the slayer. The
warden counters with the statement
that it was recommended by Leslie's
Office.
Sudovich was ordered deported
in September, 1890, when he was
taken from state prison to- federal
court to be tried in connection with
the Lake county liquor and political
conspiracy.
He was convicted and as the fed
eral government does not consider
law violations as moral turpitude,
the court ordered him deported be-
cause Of the Marovich staying
Parole Plea Allowed
Efforts began a year ago, accord
ing to Gaylord Morton, secretary to
the Governor, to get Sudovich out
on a temporary parole. Oscar ALL
gren, Whiting attorney, and state
representative in 1929, appeared for
the slayer.
The $1,000 bond required by the
department was posted by Sudo-
vich's friends and he was rel ased
on fifteen days temporary r role.
Official records say this was rec
commended by Warden DAILY.
While DAILY was away on a fish
ing trip, his deputy granted a flf-
teen-day extension.
