ACTION ON WILKERSON
HELD UP IN SENATE
Decision on Judge Appointment Is
Unlikely Before Winter.

Decision on Judge Appointment Is
Unlikely Before Winter.
By Scripps-H Otoard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, June 15.-Failure
of the senate judiciary committee to
act on the Hoover nomination Of
judge Wilkerson for thee circuit
court OF appeals probably post
poneS until next winter the settle
ment Of this controversial issue be-
tween the White House and union
labor.
1t is unlikely that this commit
tee will act on the Wilkerson nom
nation before adjournment, and if
it does. it is unlikely that the SEN
ate will vote upon its recommended
ton.
Since WilkerSon's name is before
the senate, President Hoover can
not name him as an interim ap-
pointee.
The senat committee also has
sidetracked the vote on the other
Hoover court of appeals appointee,
Judge Kenneth Macintosh of Sc
attic.

SHADES is DELIGHT
AS VACATION SPOT
Many Motorists Find Rest
and Pleasure There
Over Week-End

Many car owners in Indiana are
in the habit Of driving away from
their home communities Saturday
afternoon TO pass the weekend in
some region where the natural seem
cry and excellent accommodations
tend to make them forget the every
day cares of life. Many of these
motorists regard these jaunts as a
vest pocket edition of vacation.
The problem of where to go can
be solved very easily by the many
beauty spots which abound in In
diana. The Hoosier state contains
great variety of scenery, such as
the sand dunes and lakes in the
northern part; then the prairie; the
rock formation, as found in Turkey
Run and the Shades; the hills in
Brown county, and the caves, Wyan-
dotte and Marengo, in southern In
diana.
If one wishes to motor short
distance for the weekend, The
Shades" only fifty-nine miles from
indianapolis via Road 81 to Craw-
louisville; 43 to Road 234, which
leads to within one mile of The
Shades entrance.
This is picturesque, restful, en-
ioyable, and historical spot-a
rugged terrain, lined with deep-cut
ravines, beautif1ed by cliffs and
waterfalls, ripping cascades, q
region of virgin forest, dotted with
sparkling mineral springs which
long have been famous for theil
medicinal qualities.
This is the largest privately
owned park in the state, comprising
more than 1000 acres. The scenery
is second to none.
The Shades has been growing
steadily in popularity, enough tc
warrant many improvements These
include a $4,000 gallon water tower
fire plugs for protection; hot anc
cold running water in the entire
building and some rooms with pri-
vate bath; an up-to-date kitchen
equipped to serve chicken dinners; q
large water softener; an automatic
oil heater; basement excavated fol
laundry equipment and storeroom.
Many motorists become sc
charmed with this region that ir
addition to passing frequent week
ends they also pas their entire
regular vacation there.

Defends Gold Standard

Dickinson interrupted his recitals
Of Republican accomplishments with
an attack upon Democratic OBJ
structionists."
For two long years." he said,
they hampered the President at
every turn.
Through highly subsidized
press bureau, Democratic leaders,
Democratic senators, and Demo-
cratic congressman sought to distort
his every word; to belittle his every
effort at human and economic re-
lief; to impugn his every motive; to
Illustrate his every move. Their
orders were smear Hoover"
The Democrats, he said, raised
the long dormant issue of fiat
money"
The safety of the country re-
quires the maintenance of the gold
standard" he said. THE value of
the American dollar must be main
tanned throughout the world"
Under the head of "radicalism"
he referred to the conference Of
LEADERS of the self-styled progress
sives Of both parties" held in Wash
ington last summer.
This body, through it's spokes-
men, was to present a program to
the nation which would be a cure
all, and a short route TO recovery"
he said. Tt is significant that no
program ever has been presented"

Relief for Farmers

He devoted much space to review
ing efforts Of the administration to
rehabilitate agriculture, the troubles
of which he attributed largely to
Democratic administration of the
war years.
The Republican agricultural
policy, he said. embraces three main
phases-orderly marketing as fos-
tered by the farm board and allied
government activities; adequate
tariff protection, and cheaper trans
portation as embodied in the inland
waterway, st. Lawrence waterway
and similar transportation pro-
grams.
Directly and indirectly" he said,
THE federal government has, during
the last three years, poured into the
agricultural industry nearly $1,000
10000"
He advanced the Hawley-Smoot
tariff as the agency which prevented
American markets being flooded
with foreign products.

SUSPEND ARMS FARLEY
Public Work of Conference Ended
by Steering Committee Session.

By United Press
GENEVA, June 14.-The steering
committee of the world arms con-
ference decided today to suspend
indefinitely the public work of the
conference. None of the various
committees have been able to
achieve any real measure of agree
ment on the subjects discussed.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-06-14

by attorneys Carl Wilde and A. B.
Cronk. who represented Moynahan
at the hearing.
Schedule showing the effect Of the
$1.25 minimum on reducing con-
sumner costs to those who were in
creased was offered as an exhibit by
william L. Ransom, New York at
torney for the water company.
But Cuthbertson would not permit
its introduction.
He said he was opposed to such
procedure and that a rate order will
be written by him for commission
approval based on the evidence in
the case.
James E. Deery, city attorney,
made plea for the company to
take the $685., 900 loss, pointing out
that the common stock dividend
could be cut from IL to Der cent,
which still would be 50 fine return
in these distressed times"
Largest Increase STA
Ransom and Cuthbertson agreed
the IL per cent dividends, which go
to Clarence H. Geist, Philadelphia
owner of the water company, can
not be considered in rate making.
Geist's contribution has been to
sacrifice a $1,000 monthly salary as
president of the company, it was
revealed previously.
Through his questioning of Moy-
nahan, Cuthbertson developed that
the largest monthly increase for any
of his apartments under the first
month of the new rates april was
STA.

CASTOR MEANS !:
FOUND GUILTY
IN Indy FRAUD
Liable to Twenty Years in
Prison for $104,000
Larceny Scheme.
By United Pr,

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 14-Portly
CASTOR B. Means, famboyant de-
tective, stands convicted of larceny
Of $1o4.000 which Mrs. Evalyn Walsh
Mclean gave him, after he assured
her that he could restore the Lind
bergh baby to its parents.
The conviction makes Means liable
to a possible maximum sentence OF
twenty years in prison.
Means attorney threatened to
seek a writ Of hebeas corpus today
to obtain his release from jail pend
ing appeal.
After the jury returned the ver-
dict of guilty Monday night, Justice
James Proctor of District of Colum-
bia supreme court refused to free
him on bond of $4,000.
Appeal May Be Filed
Counsel has four days to file an
appeal for Means. If this is not
done, Justice Proctor then will set
q date for imposition of sentence.
Means was arrested on May 8, aft
er Mrs. Mclean and her attorneys
had demanded repeatedly that
Means return the money.
Mrs. Mclean. estranged wife Of
Edward B. Mclean, wealthy pub
Usher, enlisted Means aid early in
March in an effort to find the
Lindbergh baby.
He told her he was certain he
could bring about the child's safe
return.
She gave him 100000 to be used
as ransom money and $4,000 for ex-
penseS.
Served Prison Terms
Means led the society woman on
trips to Aiken, S. c., and FL Paso.
Tex, and many times promised
that return of the baby was immi-
nent. The child at that time lay
dead in the New Jersey woods.
If Means is sent to prison in this
case, it will not be for the first time.
The former investigator for the
department of justice has served
two two-year terms in Atlanta, one
in an embodiment case and one for
conspiracy to violate the prohibition
laws.

Retention of That Part of
Schedule Seems Assured
After Hearing.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY

Declaring that IAN emergency ex-
ists here which needs immediate
relief. Commissioner Harry K.
CuthbertSon brought the latest In
dianapolis Water Company rate case
to a close today.
He announced that he expected to
have an order, based on the evil
dence in the case, ready to submit
to the public service commissioners
at conference Friday.
1t appeared that the order will
mean an upset to the company'S
petition for re-establishmen of pre-
compromise rates, which brought
this latest hearing.
$1.OS Minimum Assured
Retention of the $l.Os minimum
to small consumers and the $66 700
cut in hydrant rental to the city
seemed assured. Rate increases to
large consumers, which was part of
the compromise, will likely to be
readjusted downward, with the pos
sibility that old rates may be re-
established on the higher consump-
ton brackets.
To retain the compromise reduc-
tons and lose the compromise in
crease will cause the company to
lose $285, 900 in annual revenues, it
was asserted at the hearing. They
will agree to nothing more than a
$4,000 loss, their attorneys de-
clared.
At the close of the hearing, John
F. White, state representative and
civic club leader, pleaded with COM
pany officials to accept the $285, 900
loss as the company's contribution
to present distress.
City's Plight Cited
He declared that per cent div
idend still could be declared on the
common stock.
Testimony showing that numerous
families of the unemployed are liv-
ing in rented houses where the wa
ter is shut off, was introduced by
Walter Rothermel of the South Side
Civic Clubs. Rothermel was on
hand to join with Mayor Reginald
H. Sullivan in urging that the $1.08
minimum be not increased.
Miss Mabel Strome, welfare
worker for the Salvation Army, took
the stand to tell of the plight of
the people among whom she works.
Some go as far as three blocks for
water to the only tap that may be
left running, she said.
Thomas G. Magee and Charles A.
Huff presented evidence to show
why apartment owners can not pay
increased rates at the present time.
Magee made plea for both utility
rate and tax relief at the close.
No Oral Arguments
Malcolm Pirnie, New York City
civil engineer, appeared as COM
pany expert and placed $26, 456, 152
valuation on the company proper
ties.
Through questioning by Cuth-
bertson he gave the present value
Of the $19,000,0O0 figure set by the
United States supreme court in
1924 as $16,180,000.
Edward H. Knight, corporation
counsel wrung from the witness
the admission that he didn't be-
lieve land values in Indianapolis
had gone down, because there is no
market even for tax sales"
To speed the decision of the case,
attorneys agreed to submit memo
randa this afternoon or Wednesday
morning and not hold oral argyll
mentS in the case.
A new compromise was suggested

SLASH TRAVEL TIME
TO PARTY CONVENTIONS
Many Come by Air; Is Days From
California in 1860.
By scrtpps-Howard Newspaper Alliance

By Scripps-Hoodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, June 14.-It takes
delegates to the political conven-
tions this year only one-twenty-
fifth as long to get from CaIifor-
mia to Chicago as it did the dele
gates in 1860 when Lincoln was
nominated.
That year they Travelled by stage
coach and train, and it took them
twenty-five days. This year many
of them made reservations on the
airlaineS, and from California to
Chicago is only twenty hours.
In 1860 it took the delegates twen-
ty-one days to travel from the Pa
ciflc coast to Omaha by Wells Fargo
mail passenger stages, three days
from Omaha to Cedar Rapids by
stage, and one day from Cedar
Rapids to Chicago by rail. Al
though the last leg of the Journey
was only 258 miles, the speed of
trains then only was about twenty
miles an hour.
1t was not until 1869 that the
first train steamed from the west
coast to Chicago, and not until 1872,
that Pacific coast delegates came
all the way to the conventions by
train.

Loyalty Is Demanded

The Democrats, he said, "chanted
their hymn of hate" against this
measure lin the whole warp and
wool of which their handiwork APP
peared through their policy of de-
manding special protection for the
products of their own districts"
Democratic tariff policies, he
charged, would merge "our own
needs into the lesser needs of
Patagonia and Siam"
He listed as accomplishments of
the administration foreign policy,
the progress of the efforts toward
disarmament, the averting of "a
threatened war between China and
Russia" ending unofficial hostil-
titles between China and JAPAN"
and the reduction of marine forces
in Haiti and Nicaragua.
Dickinson closed with plea for
party loyalty.
