BAKER
REVIEWS WAR
ON GAMBLING
Grand Jury Action Ordered
on Baseball Pools; Two
Under Arrest.

Carrying out a program ito Stor
gambling in Marion county, Grim
inal Judge Frank P. Baker today in
structed the grand jury to probe the
activities of Emil Rahke, alleged
baseball pool and lottery king.
Shortly after Bakers declaration
of war, two alleged agents of Rahkt
we're arrested by Sergeant Edwin
KruSe and squad.
Those held are Joseph R. Crotch
dick, Is, of 1856 Broadway, and Car
Smith, "a, of 4011 East New York
street.
Officers said the men had in then
possession ninety-five books of base
ball pool tickets, $368.41, and tickets
for 500 in hits"
Arrested in Alley
Arrests were made in an alley
near the Silent Salesman Company
IA North East street, operated by
Rahke. Attention of police first was
attracted to Grotendick and Smith
when it is alleged they improperly
parked an automobile belonging to
the Rahke concern.
Baker opened his drive several
months ago, when he ordered Pros
ecutor Herbert E. Wilson and
Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sumner to
break up alleged gambling at the
Paramount Club, south side dance
resort.
He followed his action with an
ultimatum to gamblers that unless
gaming, pool selling, and lotteries
stopped, he would begin an active
campaign to drive them from the
county. His instructions to the new
grand jury, which took office in
July, limited that bench instructions
might be expected.
Orders Gathering
Baker today ordered the jurors to
obtain evidence from Seth Ward
local attorney, who Saturday filed
suit against Rahke for 81 1000 in be-
half of George Schmidt, civil engi-
neer, who alleged failure to pay
winnings in baseball pool.
Shortly before summer vacation
Baker sent two defendants in a
lottery case and the arresting Off
GER, Sergeant Edwin Kruse, to the
grand jury, with the declaration
that he wasn't interested in the
little fellows"
Oscar Hagemier, deputy proSecu-
tor in charge of grand jury investi-
cations, said today that subpenaS
would be issued for Albert Beedy
and William Fifer, the defendants,
for appearance Monday when the
probe will open.
When informed of Bakers action,
Ward said he would place all evil
dence in his possession before the
investigators, and would cooperate
in every way possible.
Spent Nearly $4,000
According to Ward, Schmidt has
invested nearly $4,000 in the pool
during recent years, and that re-
Gently he won, but was unable to
obtain the winnings.
Ticker tape, which it is said is
the final authority accepted by pool
operators, shows Schmidt to have
won, Ward declared. The suit was
filed under a 1853 statute which
provides for recovering gambling
losses, Ward said.
In his instructions, Baker cited
the suit and the arrest of Beedy
and Fifer, together with informa-
ton in the hands of Sergeant KruSe,
as starting point for the probe.
Il shall expect you to return an
indictment against any and all per-
sons involved, if you find substan-
tial evidence" Baker declared.

Predictions were free, as
the president summoned his
ministers to take the oath of
office this morning, that his
regime could not last.
Army officers, in their fortified
hotel, were charging that the new
government was dragging the mass
of the citizenry to desperation" and
were talking of traitors"
Faces Hostile Factions
The powerful ABC revolutionary
society, which had much to do with
Gerardo Machado's fall definitely
was hostile. The OCCR secret So
ciety, equally potent, skeptically was
hostile. Mario Menocal, former
president and leader of the Mem
ocalistas, definitely was against the
government.
In addition, there were two
strikes-of laundry and ice plant
workers. They were declared to be
OF only local significance.
Grau San Martin remained opti-
mistic. He hoped for early Ameri-
can recognition.
The problem presented by the
attitude of the army officers win
be settled in satisfactory manner
soon," he said to the United Press
To-Day. With the cabinet function
ing, and with order being main

regarding pending labor questions.

LABOR DAY

Labor Day falls on September A this
yer, and will be marked by the usual OBJ
serVances, including parades, picnics,
speechmaking and other diversions.
When til. National Recovery Admin
STATION began to function several weeks
ago, it was predicted that between five
End six million unemployed would be back
at work by Labor Day. It is hoped that
this prediction may be fulfilled, but pres
ent indications re that it was too optimis-
tic.
1t is to the credit of labor that during
the depression the unemployed have ex-
ercised great patience and fortitude. On
the other hand, those who have been able
to contribute to their relief have respond
ed to the necessities of the situation with
a generous hand
1t is indeed tragic that so many mil
lions of men and women who are willing
to work are unable to find employment.
Yet the most able and earnest leaders in
business, industry and labor circles have
been unable to solve the distressing prob
lem. There has been slight increase in
employment in recent weeks, and it is be-
lieved that this trend will continue, al
though it viii probably be quite while be-
fore work can be provided for all who
sorely need it.
AS we pay homage to the Importance
and dignity of honest toll on Labor Day,
let each resolve to do his part in the ma
tional effort to relieve the miseries of un-
employment.

AN OPPORTUNITY is OFFERED

1t is significant fact that recent re-
growing increases in residential construc-
ton.
The meaning of that is. clear. The
three-year construction doldrum-in which
home building was close to the nonresident
point--has reached its end. The nation, in
stead of having an oversupply of homes,
actually has shortage, placed by various
observers at around 100000. Factories
are opening up, men are going back to
work, families are enlargening their bud
gets. And BODYBUILDING always comes
high on the list at such times.
Residential construction and mainten-
ance, on nationwide scale, is going to
be an important factor in speeding recov-
cry. And the wise property-owner will
see the handwriting on the wall. High
er prices for materials and supplies of all
kinds are going to be here before we know
it The cost indexes have started up now
and they're moving fast. The long era
Of bargains Is nearing its end. It really
s the last chance to buy at depression pric-
es.
So the property-owner has double
opportunity-to build and repair before
costs sky-rocket, and to do his bit in pro-
noting recovery by spending money for
labor and supplies. Don't let that oppor-
tunity pass!

SOCIALIST PLATFORM

How little party platforms mean these
days is called to mind by an editorial in the
Akron Times-P Press, which gives the prin-
cipafplanks of the platform on which Nor
man Thomas, Socialist candidate for presi-
dent ran a year ago. Mr.. Thomas promis-
ed:
: THAT he 5 would repeal unemploy-
ment'
That he would ask five billion dol
lars for direct relief of the unemployed.
That he would ask another five bill
lions for financing public work program.
That he would introduce a compul-
sorry six-hour day and five-day week with
out reduction in wages.
That he would reorganize industry on
a planned basis.
That he would push the principle of
public ownership
On that platform Mr.. Thomas received
only 72S.s60 votes in the whole country.
as against more than % million for RooSe-
welt and nearly 16 million for Hoover.
Yet the actual program of President
Roosevelt has closely followed the plat
form advocated by Mr. Thomas. So it
looks rs If we don't mind being Socialistic
so long as it is called something else.
