creasing violence, he would appeal
to the chief executive of the state to

campaign manager, was called to
public school No. 81, where it was
reported thugs were intimidating
voters. He charged into the cleo

and members of the election board
of refusing to permit fusionists to

bourne was put under arrest by DO
licemen, and on his counter charge

In making their charges, the
faculty members, who have told The
Times voluntarily of conditions at
the university, stress that their
only motive is to see Butler saved
from becoming a second-rate in
stitution.
In the future" said one educator,
colleges like Butler will be the
backbone of American education
The urban college is the future seat
of learning. This is due in part
to the depression. Men with chill
dren ready to send away to college
can not afford the expense. De-
pleted pocketbooks make it neces-
sary for many parents to send their
children to colleges near home.
For this reason" the educator

Blame for the danger confronting
Butler university, in its alleged
shaky standing with North Central
State Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools, was placed
squarely on the shoulders of mem
bers of the downtown office" by
faculty members today.
In describing conditions at the
university, which these faculty mem
bers allege eventually will de-
moralize it, attention was called to
the czar-like power placed in the
hands of the board of directors and
the financial secretary, Jack Ather-

FEENEY DEFIES
GREENLEE BY
FIRING OFFICER
Politician Detective Given
Walking Papers Over
SeCretary'S Order.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer

Whether Al Feeney, state safety
division director, or Pleas Greenlee,
McNutt patronage secretary, is to
determine fitness of personnel of
the Indiana state police is being de-
cided at the statehouse today.
Long -smoldering resentment be-
tween Greenlee and Feeney erupted
today over the latter's firing of one
of the Greenlee appointees to the
police force.
Harold Ware, Kokomo, was put
on the force as detective by Mr..
Feeney with assurance from both
Greenlee and Governor Paul v. Nc
Mutt that he would be a policeman
and not merely a Democratic poll
tician, which he had been in the
past, Mr.. Feeney explained.
Given Until Nov 1
Soon reports came to Chief Fee
ney'S office that Detective Ware was
organizing political meetings at Ko-
komo when he was supposed to be
out in the country running down
chicken thieves.
Chief Feeney summoned him for
questioning and upon learning that
accounts of his political activities
were true ordered him to leave the
force.
He asked for a few days time so
that he could arrange a transfer
with Mr.. Greenlee to some other
department. He was given until
Nov. l, the chief said.
He'll Stay Fired"
Mr.. Feeney ordered that his name
be not placed on the November pay
roll and wrote the Governors office
to that effect.
Today he got letter from Mr..
Greenlee in which it was set out
that he should keep Mr.. Ware at de-
tective work.
SO far as I'm concerned, he is
fired and will stay fired, unless Gov
ernor McNutt reinstates him on an
executive order" Chief Feeney de-
clared.
Our funds are too limited and
force too small to permit any mem
Der to waste their time on purely
political matters"
After AIS Scalp
Informed of this stand. Mr..
Greenlee asserted that Mr.. Ware
still is a detective, denied that he
is politician and said the Cover
nor and not MIR. Feeney will do the
hiring and firing.
Mr.. Greenlee long has been &C
cused of sharpening the ak for Mr..
FeeneyS scalp. He alleges that "Al
doesn't cooperate" it is said.
A plan afoot to put Ollie Davis
former state American Legion adju-
tant, into Mr.. Feeney's place was
said to have been thwarted at its
inception much to Mr.. Greenlees
disgust.

Vote Is Heavy

Unfavorable weather conditions
today failed to check a heavy out
pouring of voters in six states where
ballots we're cast on the repeal
amendment, designed to end Ameri-
cas- thirteen-year experiment in
prohibition.
Thirty three states already have
repudiated the legislation that thir-
teen years ago launched America on
an unprecedented police crusade to
end the evil of drink Only the re-
pudiation of three of the six states
voting today was needed to signal
the departure Of prohibition.
The states voting today were
Kentucky, North and South Caro-
lima, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Utah.
Results in Utah, North Carolina
and South Carolina were expected
to be close.
If the repealists are victorious,
their objective can not become an
actuality until Dec. or 6. Todays
elections are to name delegates TO
state conventions which either will
ratify or refuse to ratify the repeal
amendment. The last of these con-
ventions will be held Dec. and 6.
New Markets Seen
Not one Of the thirty-three states
that voted previously stood by the
dry cause. Assuming that the un-
broken trend will continue, the end
Of prohibition will mean:
Employment of many thousands
of workers directly in the liquor in
dustry-there were more than $4,000
so employed in 1914-and jobs for
many other thousands in allied
lines.
New markets for farmers crops
many of which show Improbable
surpluses.
Expenditure of millions of dol
lars to rehabilitate breweries and
distilleries, and to build new ones.
The saving of money spent on
enforcement-estimated at a total
of $500, 100000 for the prohibition
period.
Regulation Is Problem
Addition of an estimated $700,-
100000 year to federal revenue in
liquor taxes. Already the taxes on
beer have poured an average of
S17000,000 month "a yearly rate
of 1904 900 ,000) into the national
treasury.
The Volstead act, enforcing meas
ure Of the eighteenth amendment.
will go out with prohibition, accord
ing to ruling by Attorney General
Homer S. Cummings. There still
is some technical legal controversy
on this point.
If today's balloting brings repeal,
the outstanding problem will be the
regulation Of manufacture, sale and
consumption Of alcoholic beverages,
which will be left to the individual
states.
