BY BEN STERN

DULL out the old stereotyped line,
l. boys, about "all roads leading
to-" for most Of the states Democ-
racy will be present at Boonville
Wednesday night, when Phil Lutz
Jr., old First district chairman, does
the honors for the new Eighth dis
trict.
From all indications, the affair
will be a homecoming for what is
known as the Peter McNutt branch
Of the party, for Lutz is staunch
adherent of r. Earl Peters, state
chairman, and perfervid devotee
of Paul v. McNutt, outstanding con-
tender for the nomination for Gov
ernor.
Spice will be added to the affair,
however, as dispatches from Boon
vile say that invitations have been
accepted by the leaders of the
opposition to the above named group
Prank Mayr Jr., secretary of state;
Grover CARROT, chief of state police
and old Ninth district chairman;
James w. Carpenter, head of the
auto license bureau and old Sixth
district chairman, and Lee Bays,
Second district chairman.
Host of political lights, including
such sideliners in the organization
melee as Albert Stump and Walter
Myers of Indianapolis, candidates
for the nomination for United
States senator, will also be present.
Somewhere in the crowd is sure
to be Hendricks Kenworthy, deputy
chieftain Of the city organization,
who attends more rallies than leg
islator does drinking bouts.
Thomas D. Taggart, national COM
mitteeman, and his factotum, Dick
Werneke, and his factotum, Mayor
Wood Posey of Terre Haute, also
will occupy seats where the best
portions are to be served.
1t will be a great event and most
interesting Of all is that it heraldS
the launching by Lutz of his cam
paign to be chairman of the new
district.
Aligned against him will be the
group of auto license distributors
named by Mayr in the counties of
the district, and, in particular, Gill
bert Bosse of Evansville.
II
Bose is worth particular mention,
in that he has convinced the Mayr
organization leaders that he is the
big shot" in the district, whereas,
down in his home county, he usually
is called into the party conferences
only when it is question of
finances, they tell me.
Three familiar faces will not be
present, it was indicated today.
They are those of Chester Mont
gomery, Rudy Ackermann, and
Mayor w. r. Hinkle of South Bend.
Once they were as inseparable as
beer and pretzels, but now their
paths are as divergent as the way
Hoosier senator votes and drinks.
However, it is remarked: "They
will not be missed

BY RICHARD D. M'MILLAN
United Press staff Correspondent

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE League of Ma
lions council believed today that its
compromise resolution for settle
ment of the Manchurian dispute
would be accepted by China and
Japan.
Enjoying their first respite from
intense negotiations of the past
month, council members optimistic
ally awaited the replies of Marking
and Toxic.
Completed copies of the resolution
calling for evacuation of Man
churia and creation of a neutral
commission of inquiry were for
warded to Marking and Toxic Tues
day night. Replies were not ex-
pected before tonight.
With the resolution was a supple
mentary note affirming the pres
idential declaration of Aristide
BRAND that protective measures
against bandits demanded by
Japan would be outlined adequately.
The japanese delegation told the
United Press that it appeared likely
that Japan would accept the
councils solution of the bandit
problem by emitting bandit

serting it in the presidential
declaration

Practice Violates Law;
Grand Jury Continues
Investigation.

Payment of witness fees to eleven
deputy sheriffs by Coroner Fred
w. Vehling in the last nine months,
for their testimony at inquestS, will
be investigated by county commits
sioners and grand jurors, it was
learned today.
Records in the office of County
Auditor Harry Dunn revealed total
of $21 had been paid the deputy
sheriffs. Under the Indiana law it
is illegal for county employee to
receive pay from two governmental
sources.
Prosecutors said the fee payment
facts will be added to the jury's
work in the probe into alleged lille
gal activities by Vehling, under way
for a week.
Several Receive Fees
Check of county records showed
the following deputies had received
witness fees while in the Sherif'S
service; Pearl Craig, John Brewing
ton, Howard Brennan, Charles
Heinlein, Harold Hungate, Mark
Lindsey, charles McCallister,
Thomas Scanlon, Albert Thomas,
Conrad Weigand and Clarence B.
Walters.
Vehling's explanation of the pay
ments is that he was obliged legally
to pay testimony fees to persons
who claimed them.
Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner
said he would halt the witness fee
practice among his deputies. He
indicated he will discuss the situa-
ton with commissioners and prose-
cutting authorities.
Up to Vehling
Dunn said he accepted the claims
because responsibility of their va
lidity is with Vehling, who is under
bond Commissioners can sue Vehl-
inc on his bond to obtain repayment
of the alleged improper claims.
| No witnesses were heard by the
grand jury today, but jurors stud
led documentary evidence in their
possession.
DR.. Philip Reed, resident physi-
clan at the city hospital, and DR..
Elmer Funkhouser, institution path
ologist, testified Tuesday before the
grand jury in the Vehling investi-
cation. Several volunteer witnesses.
whose names were not made public,
have testified in the investigation.

SEEK MORTGAGE RELIEF
"A Roof-Tree for Every
Worker Will Be Aim of
DELEGATES.
BY VIRGIL PINKLEY
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Dele-
gates from all parts of the country
met in Washington today, to con-
slider the problem of providing a
roof-tree for every wage Garner.
They are accredited to the Presi-
dents conference on home building
and home ownership, and are pre-
occupied with the predicament of
the $1,800-a-year man, head of a
family, who in his present circum-
stances is unable to own his own
home.
How this small wage Garner can
be relieved of the burden of excess
sive long-term mortgages and liens,
or at least have the burden eased a
bit, is the problem before the con-
ference, President Hoover looks
upon it as one of his most cherished
projects, and the 5000 delegates
have been asked to do something
about it.
A working program for Submis-
sion to congress is expected to re-
suit from the four-day conference.
Nations Leaders Present
More than year ago, when the
President first proposed the con-
ference, he said
I'VE wish to set up something
more than an ephemeral discussion.
1t is obviously not our purpose to
set up the federal government in
the building of homes. There are
many questions of local government
involved"
The President believes, however,
that lit should be possible in our
country for any person of sound
character and industrious habits to
provide himself with adequate and
suitable housing, and preferably his
own home"
To this end, the nations foremost
figures in civic, business, philan-
thropic, educational and govern
mental agencies connected with
home building and ownership are
| dGCelulng GIe conference.
Advance studies by thirty-one
committees, showing that between
100000 and 100000 dwellings are
likely to be built within the next
five years, will be studied.
Many Topics on Program
Collateral topics, such as the
problem of pulling real estate from
its present stagnant situation, re-
viving the building industry and al
lied trades, reducing unempIoy-
ment, putting money back into cir
culation and generally elevating the
American living standard, will be
discussed between now and Satur-
day night.
The conference will begin to-
night with an address of welcome
by Secretary bf Commerce Lamont
President Hoover will speak, outlin-
ing his aspirations for the confer
ence sessions, which will end Sat-
urday night.
