DRY ACT FACTOR
IN MURDER CASE
Woodcock Present at Trial
of SIeuth'S Slayer.
BN United Press

By OHtteG Press
FIT. WAYNE, Ind, Nov. d
Twelve prospective jurors had been
tentatively approved by the prose-
cution and defense as the second
day of the murder trial of George
Adams opened here. -Four peremp-
tory challenges were used by the
defense and one by the state. The
state also obtained the dismissal of
two veniremen for cause.
The states examination of tales
men dealt largely with their views
on enforcement of the prohibition
law. Each was asked to what de-
gree he favored dry statutes.
The defense, ostenSibly building a
plea of self-defense, questioned each
prospective juror regarding his re-
action to self-defense as juStif1ca-
ton for shooting.
Despite the monotony of the first
days proceedings, the courtroom
was packed with spectators. Amos
Woodcock, national director of pro-
hibition, arrived from Washington
to hear Adams trial on charge of
numbering John Wilson, prohibition
agent. Wilson and agent Walter
Gilbert were slain July % on the
Huntington road a mile south of FIT.

tary of State Stimson today in
formed representatives of New York
state that he considered it "unnec-

tempt to reach a federal-New York

At the same time, the secretary

attention. He suggested that the
federal government and the New
York power authority Should con-
fer in the spirit Of mutual co-opera-
ton" to clarity and protect their

THOUSANDS TO
SIGN PETITIONS
Indiana Farm Bureau viii
Receive Tax Pleas.

Signatures of 100000 persons are
expected to appear on petitions ask
ing a special session of the Indiana
legislature to adopt a tax relief pro-
gram, which are to be returned o
the Indiana Farm Bureau offices in
indianapolis Tuesday, Nov. 10.
MANY petitions containing thous-
ands of signatures have already
been returned" according to Lewis
Taylor, director of the bureaus tax
and legislative department. "Steu-
ben county reports 3,277 signatures
to petitions and other units from
1000 to $500 each. Not only farm
ers are signing them, but they bear
names of many property owners,
business men and bankers in towns
and cities"
The Indiana Farm Bureau IS
backing a program of tax law revi-
sion for several reasons, states Tay-
lor, who says:
'Ten years of unprecedented def1a-
ton has doubled farm taxes in
terms Of farm products. Our pres
ent tax laws are discriminatory, in
capable of successful and equitable
application to intangible and per-
sonal property causing farm and
real estate property to bear so large
a tax burden as to make them of
little or no sale value. Without Spe-
cial tax relief, present conditions
will not be subject to remedy until
1888 when the legislature meets in
regular session, bringing disaster
and ruin to thousands of farm and
property owners"
Farmers have everything to gain
and nothing to lose in this move
ment, Taylor states. "At this time,
owners of property are paying all
direct taxes out of the income from
property or out of the property re-
CARELESS of income" he says. "Only
a few farmers this year will pay out
of net income. They are now pay
ing more than $5O000,000 a year on
lands and improvements. Under
fair tax system, farmers would pay
much less than half of this amount.
For their part of the cost of a spe-
cial session, they stand to lose their
share of it, which would be less
than 100000 and stand to gain
more than $25,OO0,0O0 a year."

WINDS MASTER
HUGE DIRIGIBLE
Akron Kept Out All Night
by Gale.
By United Press

By UHited Press
LAKEHURST, N. j., Nov. 4.-High
winds sweeping over the wide, flat
spaces around the huge airship
hangar here Tuesday night kept the
giant dirigible Akron out all night
and seriously damaged the navy
blimp XII, largest non-rigid diri-
gible in the world
AS the blinp was being grounded,
high wings threw it against the
hangar, ripped the envelope open,
and caused it to collapse. The
ground crew was ordered to release
the dirigible, which carried Lieu
tenant S. M. Bailey and two other
officers, before it collapsed. They
were uninjured.
The Akron was tied to a mooring
mast with a skeleton crew aboard,
while its officers waited for the wind
to go down before attempting to
maneuver it's huge bulk into the
hangar beside its older bunk-mate,
the Los Angeles.
The Akron, carrying POT passen-
gers, in a test of it's carrying ca
pacity, returned Tuesday night with
the Los Angeles from all-day flight
over New Jersey and neighboring
states.

Explain HaSty Tactics

Hasty tactics in evictions we're
blamed directly upon real estate men
and landlords by Marion county
constables, who conferred Tuesday
with Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson.
Landlords demand immediate
election; if the constables do not
perform their duties they are held
liable on their bonds, they said.
I'VE try to maintain a policy of
never ejecting family until check
ing with the Family Welfare So
ciety," Wilson was told.
This organization, however, re-
quires few days to investigate the
landlords refusal to wait.
The. constables also pointed to
complaints received about high
pressure tactics of collectors for
credit houses, and promised to give
the prosecutor the names of all col
lectors wearing badges and carrying
pistols.
They expressed themSelv as be-
ing in favor of wearing uniforms.

Harvest on 5,oO0-Acre
Farm Done by Hand, TAX
ing Far More Time.
By United Press


DEARBORN, Mich, Nov. A.
Henry Ford, exponent of the ma
chine age, is harvesting crops on
his 5,000-acre farm nea rhere with
man power, it was disclosed today.
Between 600 and TOO men, most of
them recruits from the ranks of the
unemployed, are doing the work
machines ard $50 men could &C
complish in less time. The farm
hands are paid IS day.
Ford has not admitted that he is
making" work for men. A recent
statement, however, gives reason to
his return to Anticipated farm
methods. He said Nobody in
Dearborn will go hungry this
winter"
The farm schedule was revised
last winter, it was revealed, when
Ford anticipated employment con-
ditions of 1882. Against the advice
of his agricultural experts, the au-
tomobile manufacturer refused to
allow soil on the farm to be treat
ed for the spring planting.
AS a consequence, it was neces-
sary to employ men to weed the
fields. During the planting season,
hoes were more in evidence than
tractors. One tractor, farm super
visors said, remained in a repair
shop three weeks after minor
breakdown.
In addition to employment, the
Ford farm is providing food for
needy Dearborn families. Home
conditions in four townships have
been investigated under Ford super
vision. Crops harvested on the farm
are being stored for distribution
this winter.
r. The Ford harvest plan will con-
tinue throughout the season, his SUI
pervisors said. Corn will be husked
by hand. The work will require sew
aT-oI months

MONEYS PROSECUTOR
IGNORED IN HOOVER BID
Former Stanford Grid Players
Name Left off List.
Bal limited Pre-

by CWJCCU FT6SS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The
names of Charles M. Fickert, who
as district attorney of San Fran
cisco, prosecuted Thomas Mooney
and Warren K. Billings, does not
appear on the list of members of
the 1894 Stanford university foot
ball team invited to dine with
President Hoover at the White
House Nov. u, as given out at the
White House.
Fickert was member Of the 1894
team, in 1896 was captain of the
Stanford team, and in 1902, was
Stanford's coach.
The white House had nothing to
say regarding the omission, beyond
the statement of a secretary that
of course additional guests may be
invited. Fickert retired from the
office of district attorney after his
prosecution of Mooney and Billings
which resulted in life sentences for
both of them on conviction on
charges of murder in connection
with the San Francisco prepared
ness parade bomb explosion of 1906.

Ev|CTIONS FOR
RENT FAILURE
DROP IN CITY
Decrease of 40 Per Cent in
Last Two Months Is
Shown in Survey.
VARYING REASONS GIVEN
Justice of Peace Peck Sees
Loss as Sign Depression
Is Lifting.

Sharp decrease in the number of
families evicted from houses for
failure to pay rent was shown today
by reports from justice of the peace
courts in Indianapolis.
Five justices of the peace in the
city stated that in September and
october approximately 10 eviction
orders were issued.
In a vast majority of these cases,
the justices reported the families
moved without awaiting court &C
ton.
Although eviction cases usually
multiply in the winter months,
decrease of 40 per cent in Septem-
Der and October, compared with the
previous two months, was reported
by John F. Manning, Center town.
ship justice of the peace.
Only 81 in Two Months
Manning said only thirty-one
eviction cases we're issued in the last
two months, compared with fifty
five in July and August, a drop of
twenty-four.
A decrease of probably 20 per
cent in the number of cases filed,
was reported by T. S. Crutcher,
Warren township justice of the
peace.
During September and October,
Crutcher reported, only eighty-two
eviction. orders were issued in his
court.
Il believe the present decrease is
due to realization of landlords that
it is better to have non-paying
tenant in a house than to risk van
dalism by having it empty" Crutch-
er explained.
View More Optimistic
Edward F. Peck, Wayne township
justice of the peace, held more
optimistic view, attributing a de-
crease in eviction cases to slowly
improving economic conditions.
Even civil suits to collect gro
Gerry bills show a decrease in num-
Der, in my court" Peck said. IAN
insurance collector told me the
other day that his collections in
October were the best of any month
since the depression started"
Peck said of a total of forty-tive
eviction orders issued in September
and October, it was necessary to
move only two families by force.
Talk to Society
I'm this court we make a practice
of getting in touch with the Family
Welfare Society when eviction cases
are filed, and giving the society
time to investigate and attempt to
make some provisions for the fam
ily's rent" Peck added.
Only two eviction orders were is
sued in the last two months by Carl
F. King, Washington township jus
tice, he said, one each having been
issued in July and August.
James H. Chatterley, Perry town
ship justice of the peace, reported
ten in the two months.

HOUSE SWITCH
JUGGLES JOBS
OF HOOSIERS
Definite Control Would See
Indiana'S Democrats
Rise in Rank.
WOOD MAY LOSE POST
Louis Ludlow May Become
Chairman of Congress
Library Committee.

BIZ Scripps-HOlodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Demo-
cratic control of the house of rep
resentatives, believed to have been
assured by Tuesdays elections, will
cause Indiana to lost the chairman
ships of two important house COM
mittees and gain the Craftsmanship
of another.
Representative Will R. Wood
CRepD of Lafayette, must yield his
craftsmanship of the powerful house
committee on appropriations, and
Representative Albert H. VeStal
CRep0 of Anderson, must step down
as chairman of the committee on
patents.
Representative Arthur H. Green
wood Dem.) of washington, will be
allowed to take his choice as chair
man of the committee on mines and
mining or the committee on census.
Greenwood Ranking Member
Greenwood, dean of the Demo-
Gratis of the Indiana delegation. is
the ranking Democrat on the mines
and mining committee, and as such,
by the seniority rule, automatically
may succeed to the Craftsmanship,
if the Democrats do the expected
and organize the house.
But it is regarded as possible that
Greenwood may decide to pass up
the mines and mining committee to
become chairman of the census
committee.
Representative John E. Rankin is
the ranking Democrat on the census
committee, but also holds the same
position on the World war veterans
committee, and is known to prefer
the Craftsmanship of the latter
group.
Ludlow May Get Post
Greenwood is the second to Ran
kin on the census committee, and
therefore can become chairman of
it if he decides to yield his place on
the mines and mining committee.
1t also is regarded as possible that
Representative Louis Ludlow (Dem.,
Indianapolis) may become chair
man of the library committee.
Representative Lindsay G. Warner
Oem., N. c. ranks Ludlow on the
library committee, but Warren, if
he desires, can take the chairman
