France Bids for

There is a possibility Of Pan
theon de la Guerre," the world
famous panoramic painting now
on exhibition at the Panorama
Building, may be taken back to
Paris.
Negotiations are now in prog
Tess between the Pantheon Cor
poration and a French syndicate
fer the purchase of the great
painting. 1t seems that the
French syndicate of capitalists
desire that the great painting.
which is the work of noted artists
from the Beaux Arts in France,
shall always remain permanently
in Paris, where it was originally
exhibited to more than 100000
during the seven years it was
shown before being bought and
brought to America.
The present owners of the
mammoth pictorial history of the
World War, however, are disposed
to keep it in America unless an
exceedingly attractive price is
paid for the return of the col
loSSal painting.
In tRe meantime the "Pan-
theon de Ia Guerre" will remain
on exhibition at the Panorama
Building, where it is attracting
thousands of sightSeers, until a
definite decision is reached in
the negotiations.

EORCED out Of both major par
Il ties by adoption of repeal
planks, Indiana drys at present do
not know which way to turn for aid.
One course of action still is open.
The Prohibition party of the state
in its eleven-man convention here
June 2, adopted bone-dry plat
form and nominated a ticket
headed by E. Howard Cadle, Indian
apolis evangelist, who pledged
himself to strenuous campaign.
The national convention Of the
Prohibition party will be opened
here at the Claypool July 3 and, it
now is expected, will, after excori-
atinC both major parties for reced-
ing from an utterly dry stand,
frame a platform rededicating it
self to the arid cause.
The Indiana delegation to the ma
tional event will be instructed by
the state committee to demand that
the party call to its banner all those
believing in prohibition.
This decision was reached at the
state meeting, when B. l.. Allen
state chairman, denounced the
action of the national leaders three
and one-half years ago in seeking
to force the prohibition party to the
standard of Herbert Hoover.
There is little doubt that the ma
tional Republican platform alienated
both the drys and the vets by the
straddle plank and the managers OF
the former group, it is indicated by
letters and enunciations. feel that
there is sufficient dry sentiment in
the state and nation to put over
their ticket if the dry Democrats and
The Indianapolis times., 1932-06-23

Republicans desert their parties and
( vote as unit.
The high tide of the Prohibition
party strength was reached in In
diana in 1904, when 23,496 voted
for its candidate for President at
time when it still was believed to
be workable theory.
Even in 1916 with a native son,
former Governor J. Frank Hanly,
as its candidate for President, it
/ polled only 1888 votes in the state.
Today, with the widespread opin-
ion that prohibition is a failure and
without the drive Of the thousands
of men and women who felt that
their cause was a holy crusade, it
is questionable whether that figure
can be reached.
Three and one-half years ago,
when Herbert Hoover was hailed
as the dry choice, the prohibition
party candidate polled only 5,496
votes in the state.
But the situation has changed
Neither Of the major parties can
make a direct appeal TO the pro-
hibitionists on its platform and
there is possibility of strong pull
from the major parties.
In this columns opinion, the loss
will be felt more keenly by the Re-
publicans than by the Democrats
because the former party in the
! past always had the greater appeal
for the anti-salooners.
However, it will be interesting to
watch the effect of dry party in
the coming election.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., June %.
High taxes, unemployment, alb
surdly low prices for farm products,
the high cost Of government-these
are the political thoughts that race
through the minds of men who live
along the rich lands of the Missouri
valley in southeastern Nebraska.
There is confusion about it all.
The residents of this town and
Falls City, farther south, are en-
phatic about the realities of today,
and they say these realities are the
things that should concern poll
ticians
The moral or constitutional
phases CT prohibition decidedly are
secondary, although they say in
Falls City it might be a good idea to
legalize the sale of liquor, because
perhaps this would mean more jobs
and government revenue would
tighten the tax burden.
Say Taxes Are Too High
I'VE have 5000 customers in this
bank" said j. H. Catron, president
Of the Farmers bank. Il see them
all from time to time. They say
government expenses must be cut,
that taxes are too high, and that
we must live like we did back in
the COS.
"They don't talk much about pro-
hibition. They talk about how
much money is spent in Washing
ton, and about low prices they get
for their corn and wheat and cattle
and hogs and their fruit"
Up walked J. w. Haberg, one of
the 5000 customers, who is agent
here for the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, and also owns a farm.

Wife DEFEATS
INJURED MATE
IN LAW FIGHT
Obtains Guardian for Him,
Wins Divorce, Gets
Children.

A World war veteran who lost
most Of bis hands in an industrial
accident six months ago, was beaten
at every turn today.
First, his wife had a guardian ap-
pointed for him in probate court.
From there she went to superior
court five, where Special Judge Os-
car Hagemeier granted her a di-
vorce, custody Of two children, 500
attorney fees and $3.50 a week
support money.
The Bankers Trust Company was
appointed guardian.
Called Habitual Drinker
The man in the case is Henry o.
McMann, 4500 West Vermont street.
His wife, Mrs. Edith M. McMann,
told Probate Judge Smiley N. Cham
bers that her husband is an habit
ual drunkard and incapable of
managing his affairs.
McMann had filed a divorce
suit, and his wife countered with
a cross complaint. Both alleged
cruelty. Previously she had filed
three divorce suits, but dismissed
them.
The husband alleged that while
he was in a hospital with most of
his hands crushed off by punch
press he operated in factory, Mrs.
McMann filed one of the suits.
Used Violence, Charge
In the ss-complaint she ac-
cused him of bodily violence against
her and alleged that while he was
intoxicated he would take their
children for rides in an automo-
bile, which he operates despite his
crippled hands. On one occasion
the wife charged, McMann kicked
the windshield out of the car.
Mccain received $4,000 compen-
sation for the injury, which is paid
to him at the rate of $3.50 per
week. He receives $40 a month
compensation as war veteran.
