WET AND DRY
RIVALS AWAIT
REPEAL VOTING
Indiana Is Key State ir
National Picture, Say
Leaders for Both.

With the prohibition repeal cleo
ton less than a week away, both
wet and dry forces are redoubling
their efforts to get out the vote as
Indiana is regarded as key state
by both sides.
Indiana will be one Of eight states
to cast its vote in June on the mo-
mentous question of prohibition re-
peal. Members of the high COM
mand of the dry forces have in
sisted that states already chalked
up as wet victories do not afford a
real indication of the eventual re-
suit and they are concentrating
their efforts here.
Vets see the date of the Indiana
election, June 6, a factor in their
favor because it comes the day after
Illinois votes and Illinois generally
is conceded likely to cast a wet vote
of staggering proportions.
Psychological effect of a wet
landslide in Illinois will be marked

BRAND CULVER
BANDIT CHICAGO
BEER CUNMAN
Man, Captured in Chase
Said to Be Notorious
Police Character.
United Press


SOUTH BEND, Ind, May 81
Identification of one of the bandits
who held up the State Exchange
bank of Culver, Ind, as Daniel Nc
GeOghegan, notorious Chicago beer
runner and gunman, was claimed
today by authorities.
One of the six bandits captured
after a spectacular chase by Culver
citizens gave his name as Joe Davis
and claimed he was a hitch-hikel
from Florida who inadvertently fell
in with the gang and was forced tC
join in the holdup
However, publication of Davis
photograph in Chicago newspapers
cast doubt on the bandits explana
ton
Detective Chief William Schoe-
maker said he recognized the mar
as McGeOghegan, one of the most
notorious figures of the gang era.
He once was convicted of murder
but won aquittal on a retrial.
Chicago police have sought him
y
indictment.
Shoemaker said he would like to
obtain McGeoghegan to answer to
the bank robbery charge, but ex-
pected that Indiana authorities
would wish to prosecute him in con-
nection with the Culver holdup.
One of the bandits, who gave his
name as Morris Cohen, was identi-
fed as Joseph Cohen, well-knoWn
Chicago police character, accused of
kidnapping two Chicago detectives
about year ago
The bandit who gave his name as
Jack Shay and T. C. TeSke and later
died of wounds received in a gun
battle with a posse was identified as
Jack Switalski, former Chicago po-
liceman and one-time chauffeur and
bodyguard for Joe Salts, notorious
beer baron"

in Indiana, many of the vets be-
lieve.
One of the most dwelt-on phases
Of the vets campaign plans is the
stressing OF the manner in which re-
peal proponents should vote.
Any one desiring to vote for
prohibitions end must mark his
ballot for ratification as the issue
is the ratification of the proposed
twenty-first amendment to the
federal Constitution. an amendment
to repeal the eighteenth amendment.
Although the Democratic party in
which he holds a high political office
is pledged to repeal, Earl Crawford,
Milton banker and Speaker of the
house Of representative, is the chief
oratorical weapon of the drys.
Monday night at TT. Wayne,
Crawford told a dry rally that Indi-
ana is sure to vote dry. Crawford
predicted Marion county's forty
two delegates are safe for the dry
side because of the vote given Con-
gresham Louis Ludlow in the ma
tional election last fall.
Crawford declared miSmanage-
ment of the state control act for
80 beer has reacted to the benefit
of the dry cause.
Although the constitutional con-
vention will be held at the state
house June 26. the question will be
decided definitely June 6. at the
election of delegates elected as vets
must vote wet at tine convention
and dry delegates must vote for re-
tention of prohibition.
Thus, the convention merely is a
formal ratification of the popular
vote

: It was on the trip up the coast that
Rita had her last and greatest adventure.
The San Gil ran into heavy weather.
The ship pitched and tossed, but Rita
was contemptuous of the spindrift and
the gale. Pausing now and then only
to shake the salt spray out of her fur,
she walked the decks as she had walked
them a year before. But as Rita made
her way forward on the fore well-deck,
. high comber swept onto the ship. It
carried Rita over the side and into the
eea.
THE quartermaster, braced against the
force of the wave, had seen 1t all.
He ran to the side, caught brief
glimpse Of Rita's head bobbing along
near the crest Of a wave and shouted
to the captain:
"Rita's overboard!"
Before the words were out of his mouth
there came faint, mournful "Meow!"
from near the stern. It was Rita. A
