REVOLT LOOMS
IN BEER RANKS
Mysterious Luncheon Is
Held by Wholesalers;
DiSCord Hinted.

A peerless luncheon, cloaked n
deep mystery, was attended by
twenty-five Indianapolis beer whole
Salers at the Lincoln Thursday.
The mystery was explained partly
following the luncheon, from which
the press was barred, but absence
of the wholesalers own product
from the table was not cleared.
Several of the wholesalers opined
that the price of the luncheon zone
buck was high enough, as it was,
without beer, now retailing in this
city at Is to 20 cents a pint.
The meeting, presumably intended
to organize indianapolis beer whole
salers and elect officers, was futile
IN that respect.
One wholesaler sent a representa-
tive to the luncheon to announce
that Falls City beer, handled by his
flrm, would sell wholesale at S2.25
for f1ve-case lots. The retail price to
private consumers still is $2.75 a
case, however.
This wholesaler, who insists on
remaining anonymous, due to an adj
mltted fear of possible retaliation by
the importers, declared that whole
Salers were losing on beer even if
beer in Indiana is higher priced than
IN most states where 80 brew has
been permitted.
"Prlce-cutting, lack of principle
and ignorance of the whole business
situation in regard to beer, is the
trouble here" he declared. THE
wholesaler isn't making a nickel. All
the profits, as far as I can see. are
going to the importers"

also that some other" investiga-
lions are being made.
These, it. is believed, are part of
sweeping series of inquiries to be
made by federal agencies of the in
come tax returns during the last
few years Of big taxpayers, indi-
vidual and corporate.
The pending federal court action
in New York against Charles E
Mitchell, former head of the Ma
tional City bank, is the first of such
proceedings, it is understood.
There are unconfrmed reports
that the Gulf Oil Company, Mel
Ion dominated corporation, also may
be investigated.
The practice of selling securities
in order to register losses for income
tax purposes was widespread in the
years before depression set in Sc

Moore lost a fight in the Marion
circuit court to declare the law in
valid. Judge Earl R. Cox stated
that his personal opinion was
against the skip election law, but
he was forced to rule against Moore
due to precedents of the law and the
state Constitution.
Since the ruling, Moore has been
hesitating on his decision whether
he should contribute more of his
funds to fighting the case, or aban-
don the effort.
If Moore should win the case after
a fight in the supreme court, and
the final decision came before No.
vember, it is possible that he would
be counted out by the G.. 0. P. ma
chine operated by George V. Coffin.
In this case, Moore would be I'M
able to carry his fight for the
mayoralty before the city central
committee when nominations are
made.
Under the law the city committees
of both parties nominate candidates
if the city primary is not held.
Moore, through his attorneys,
Clinton H. Givan and Fred Masters,
argued before Cox that the law
postponing the primary and election
until 1884 deprived citizens of con-
Stitutional right to seek public Offices
in regular elections.
Moore said today he believed the
majority of city and state politicians
are aligned against the new law, but
they are unable to cope with the
present state administration and
refuse to fight it on that basis.

LACUARDIA IS
MAYOR OF n. Y.
Little Flower" of N. Y,
Streets Has Record as
Political Fighter

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-(UP)-
Fiorello H. LaGuardia, elected to
be next mayor of the nations
largest city, has throughout his
colorful career been known as a
scrapper-a man who never hest
tated in attacking a problem or
project. no matter how great its
immensely.
The "ittle flower" of New
York's streets, during 10 years in
the house of representatives,
gained national reputation for
his great energy, his frequent
oratorical outbursts. and his will
lingness always to fight, even with
none standing at his side.
Called upon in the recent may
oral campaign to Buck Tammany,
on one hand, and the popular JOS
eph V. Mckee on the other, he
plunged into his task with char
acteristic zeal, exchanging blow
for blow with his opponents,
wearing out his secretaries and
associates by his restless personal
drive.
He will hold the highest eXecu-
tive post in the city which gave
him birth. He was born Il years
ago next month on Varick street
in downtown Manhattan, the son
of an Italian immigrant who be-
came an army bandmaster.
Fiorello. at the age of three,
was taken to the army posts OF
South Dakota and Arizona and
spent much of his boyhood among
soldiers. His father meant for
him to be musician and today
he is reputed to be a competent
cornetist.
AS a young man he became
U. S. consul at Fume, and on his
return to New York, he joined his
local Republican club. Almost by
accident he was picked to run for
congress, back in the early days
of the war. They thought a Re-
publican wouldn't have a chance
that year in the district, but La
Guardia made a door-to-door can
vass, and went to Washington.
He was an ardent pacifst, but
when the United States entered
the war, he enlisted. He was sent
to the Italian front, to take
charge of American aviators, hav-
ing learned to fly himself under
his friend Guiseppi Bellanca, the
