VIOLATED u. S.

Lottery Tickets Transported
in Mails, Government
Alleges at Trial.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The gov
eminent showed at the trial OF
United States Senator James j
Davis today that 24,387 1850 alleged
lottery tickets bearing the names OF
several hundred lodges of the Loyal
Order of Moose, were transported
through the mails and in inter-
state commerce.
Opening the most direct phase OF
it's attempt to show that Davis
dominating force of the Moose, was
the planner and hacker of supposed
lotteries conducted by Moose lodges
under the guise of charity balls, the
government produced witnesses who
said they purchased tickets, not
with the idea of going to the balls
but to participate in drawings" for
prizes.
Davis is on trial in federal court
here on indictments charging vio-
lating Of federal statutes prohibit
ing lottery matter from the mails
and interstate commerce.
Member of the cabinets of three
Presidents, Davis faces maximum
sentence of twenty years imprison-
ment and a $4,000 fine if con-
victed.
Davis Little Interested
The supreme council of the Moose
not only approved of the charity
balls. but made plans to hold more,
the government brought out earlier
in the day.
Davis seemed little interested as
minutes of the 1881 meeting of the
supreme council were read into the
record.
He read a newspaper and chatted
in whispers with reporters.
Bess M. Elgart, Gertrude Sobel,
James w. Reed, employees of Phila-
delphia and Scranton, Pa, printers,
described the printing of thousands
TO tickets for Moose charity balls in
all parts OF the country, ecah one
of which had a coupon attached
emitting the purchaser to partici-
patton in a drawing for cash
prizes.
Included Drawings" Coupon
Reed testified that on the order
of Bernard G. MCGUIRE, also under
indictment and alleged to be the
business man" of the alleged lot
teries, his firm printed sos, 684 books
Of tickets for Moose charity balls,
or 24,387 800 individual tickets.
The tickets were sold by the va
rious Moose lodges at so cents each.
Each ticket had numbered coupon
for the drawings
Reed was instructed to send his
bill to the Moose. 1t was paid by
check, but he couldn't remember who
signed it.
Reed said MCGUIRE placed other
orders for similar tickets for enter
tainments given by the Fraternal
Order of Eagles, the Shriners and
the Knights of Columbus.
Two officials of the Eagles are I'M
der indictments similar to those for
which Davis is being tried.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Pre-
mier Herriott of France is said TO
have carried with him to Geneva
Wednesday, proof" that Germany
secretly is arming, and that much
of the money used to finance her
Illicit war preparations came from
the United States.
The French premier is understood
to be reluctant to make use Of his
information.
In common with washington and
London statesmen, he still is hope
full that Germany yet may be
brought back to the disarmament
parley which she bolted.
Until that hope has faded, there
fore, he will do nothing to widen the
breach caused by the German ulti-
matum demanding arms equality.
Herriott is said to be prepared to
spring his documents if and when
Germany continues to balk, thus

by 10000 votes, and Senator John j.
Blaine, who was defeated by John
B. Chapple, young newspaper editor,
by $4,000 votes, would attempt to
lead their loyal followers into the
Democratic camp.
If these tactics are employed it
was expected the progressive leaders
shortly would indorse the Demo-
cratic candidacy of Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt. They have
been virulent in criticism of Presi-
dent Hoover's policies.
There appeared, however, a good
chance the progressive leaders would
retain their nominal allegiance to
the Republican party. On past oc-
casion the La Toilette leadership
usually has been content to attack
conservative Republican candidates,
without openly espousing the cause
of their opponents. In such past
instances the La Toilette followers
have deserted Republican ranks in
large numbers.
Loss of customary Democratic
support was blamed by many pro-
gressive leaders to defeat of their
ticket in the primary.
Whether or not La Toilette lead
ers openly indorse the Democratic
Governor candidate, Mayor A. G..
Schmedeman of Madison, he is ex-
pected to poll a heavy progressive
vote.
Schmedeman is a personal friend
Of the 35-year-old Governor. In
Tuesdays voting, Schmedeman
polled a record Democratic vote Of
$4,000, though losing to Kohler by
10000. s
La Toilette withheld definite an
nouncement of his plans.
It am enlisted in the progressive
movement for life," he said. In OF
out of public Office I shall do all in
my power to advance the principles
for which it stands. This contest
will &C on until 1t is won.

THOMAS STARTS
CAMPAIGN TOUR
Winter of Suffering Seen by
Socialist Nominee.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Norman
Thomas, Socialist candidate for
President, has left New York on a
campaign tour that will carry him
to Texas and California, predicting
a national calamity" if either
Franklin D. Roosevelt or Herbert
Hoover is elected President.
I look for open starvation in big
cities this winter, with rioting,
Thomas said here. Stock market
rises and reports of employment in
creases are manipulations last
desperate efforts of every one to
do something.
Roosevelt is giving an extraor-
binary exhibition of man trying
to say nothings nicely. He wants
every one to be good and happy.
"As for the bonus, if his plan is
like Sonny Whitney's calling for
immediate relief only for the needy
why, I was the one who said it first.
Even if we don't get elected,
we may be able to force issues with
the major parties"

WHOLESALE GUSHING or
STATE AIDS LOOMING
Appropriation Bill Leaves Nothing
for Pay Rolls, Departments Learn.

With salaries already reduced.
many state employees today faced
the prospect of either losing their
jobs or being forced to take long
vacations without pay.
Cause of this dilemma is the dis
covery by the state budget commit
tee that the appropriation bill,
passed by the special session of the
legislature, does nto allow sufficient
funds to meet pay rolls in various
departments, even after the salary
cutting formula has been applied.
Department heads appearing be-
fore the budget committee today al
most were unanimous in seeking to
defer action on any solution. Meth
er Republicans nor Democrats want
to be forced to discharge any en-
ployes until after the November
election, it appeared.
An S o call was sent to Gov
ernor Harry @. Leslie by the budget
committeeman, who asked that he
confer with them regarding the
matter.

COMEWHERE on the Butler
~ university campus is a stu
dent whose future may inter-
mingle with f1remen, if he works
as successfully in the future as
he did at midnight Wednesday.
For six days, the eds and co-eds
of the university have been gath
ering boxes from every available
source. Each has hurled his
contribution on the pile that
scared skyward near the stadium.
The boxes were to be ignited for
the football seasons first bonfire
Friday night.
Then came the shock. The
scream of sirens awakened north
side residents Wednesday night.
Fire apparatus, police and an am
bulance raced to the northwest
section of the city where a blaze
reflected against the sky.
1t was bonfire-and what a
bonfire! But the engagement
was played two nights early. To
day the huge pile of boxes was in
ashes.
And after investigation on the
campus, university official re-
ports:
"F'raternities met Wednesday
night. 1 believe the fire was the
outgrowth of a plan fostered in
one of those meetings early in
the evening""
And the campus answer is, mo
doubt"
Not to be foiled, students re-
turned to their building task to-
day and hope for enough boxes to
have another fire Friday night.

Wednesday afternoon.

Grave Mistake, Citing
Congestion.

While county commissioners were

in slashing the poor farm budget, "a
grave mistake" councilmen today
sliced 25 per cent from the county
share of judges salaries and halved
the operating budget Of the county
health board.
Commissioners and poor farm Of

infrmary now is housing 100 more
inmates than at any other time in
its history, $6,575 was slaShed from

I'VE should have had an increased
appropriation for the poor farm this
year because conditions have been
aggravated by the depression" Dow

president, said.

slider the increase in inmates. Ad-
ditional appropriations will have to
be made Or we can't operate" as
serted Commissioner Thomas Ellis.

ent, announced today SAB inmates
are being cared for at the infirn-
airy. A year ago, records show, $50

ever, the council cut the appropria-
ton for medical, surgical supplies

THE able can sleep higher up,
while the aged and infirm will have

Despite pleas of representatives
of parent-teacher organizations the
counciy cut the operating budget
of the county health board from
$3,145 to $1,635. In the requested

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 22.-Does
IL Charlie Chaplin have an
other romance in the offing-his
third-or hasn't he?
Hollywood has been a-twitter
with rumor ever since Charlie
started going places and seeing
things with Paulette Goddard,
youthful movie beauty who has
been hailed as Charlie Chap
Inns new girl friend"-hut you
can't prove a thing by either OF
them.
Charlie isn't saying anything.
Miss Goddard, who admits that
she kissed Charlie goodby when
she departed recently for the
east, says, "Oh, that doesn't mean
that we are going to be married."
And then she added
why, I kissed everybody good
by. 1t was just a friendly kiss;
we are not even thinking of get
ting married.
Anyway, I was married for
nearly two years and now I want
q vacation. OF course, like to
60 out with Charlie; he takes me
to parties and tennis matches
and openings-and just lots of
places
n r
DAULETTE says she is going to
Il appear in Chaplin's next pic
ture, and for this reason she is
letting her hair return to its nat
ural brown, because Charlie likes
it that way. Just now, she's a
platinum blond-but you mustn't
ask how or why.
Miss Goddard recently obtained
a Reno divorce from Charlotte
IN. Co. lumber magnate. Then
she came to Hollywood to try her
hand at the movies. AT dinner
given her by Joseph Schenck,
movie magnate, she met Chaplin.
She told Charlie of her ambition
to enter the movies-and the rest
was easy.
