Fred Hoke, national emergency
relief commissioner for Indiana, has
resigned his post, effective Aug. Is,
it was learned today. He will re-
main on the relief board, however.
Mr.. Hoke's resignation was due
entirely to private demands upon
his time, it was indicated by Gov
ernor Paul v. McNutt, who voiced
regret at losing him.
Fred has done an outstanding
piece of work and his resignation is
a loss to the state" the Governor
said. The Governor asserted no
decision yet has been made as to
Mr.. Hoke'S successor.
A successor also is scheduled to
be appointed to William H. Book,
who has resigned as director Of the
Governors commission on unem-
ployment relief. The vacancy will
be filled Tuesday at a conference
between Governor McNutt and

FREE CARE FOR
LII ARTHUR HIT
Doctors Condemn Hospital
Service to Officials at
Public Cost.
BY DANIEL Nj. KIDNEY
Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Free
disqualification for highly paid gov
ernmental officials, such as that OBJ
tanned recently by Senator Arthur
r. Robinson CRep., Ind at Walter
Reed hospital here, was roundly
scored today by the District of Co.
lumbia Medical Society.
In a report by the society's COM
mittee On medical economics, it was
pointed out that senators and other
high-ranking and well-paid officials
of the federal government are
usurping hospital facilities, pro-
vided for poorly paid members of
the nations armed forces, to obtain
medical care.
Just before leaving for Indiana,
Senator Robinson spent about two
weeks at the hospital as an ex-
service man, getting himself in
physical shape for the fall cam
paign. The senator's salary is
$4,000 less a S per cent pay cut.
Here is what the medical society
committee report said about such
things:
These public servants are for the
most part adequately compensated
and their incomes are far above the
average for the American citizen
including the physician. Further
more, their duties entail no hazard
Gus service and their offices are
keenly sought by the aspiring citl-
zen.
1T would appear, therefore, that
the American people having elevated
one of its citizens to such an office
should not be required to pay the
personal expenses of the incum-
bent"
The report concludes with the
statement that such practices should
cease Immediately.

Secretary of State Regrets
Reich 'MiSConStrued'
Johnson Speech.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Gen-
eraI Hugh S. Johnson's remarks
on German Nad executors brought
an immediate protest today from
the Germany embassy and resulted
in the state department regret
ting" that General JohnSon's
Waterloo, Ia, speech had been
"misconStructed as official"
Mr.. Hull refused to amplify OIL
the statement event to the extent
of saying whether or not he con-
sidered that this closed the Incl
dent. If the incident is closed, it
will be one of the quickest ends to
such a diplomatic incident on rec
ord.
The incident became an interna-
tional affair today when DR.. Ru-
dolph Leitner, charge d'affaires of
the German embassy called on Mr..
Hull. Leitner, smiling and debo-
nair, as he went into Hulls Office
appeared somewhat agitated after
his conference.
Statement Is Issued
An hour later came a statement
of explanation. The statement
said:
1.-The German charge d'affaires
protested to the secretary of state
against remarks reported to have
been made by General Hugh S.
Johnson in a speech on July II,
1884, relative to recent events in
Germany.
THE secretary of state called Dr.
Leitner'S attention to the pub
lished statement of General john
son to the effect that he was
speaking an an individual and not
for the state department or for the
administration Mr.. Hull said it
was to be regretted that the posi-
ton in the government occupied by
the speaker made it possible for re-
marks uttered by him as an indi-
vidual to be misconstrued as Off
cial."
Johnson Stands Pat
In typical fashion General John
son refused today to back down
from his outspoken condemnation
of the German bloody weekend. "
IT meant everything said" said
johnson. II will not take anything
back and I do not expect to be
called down by the state depart
ment"
In his speech he said:
"a few days ago, in Germany,
events occurred which shocked the
world. I don't know how they may
have affected you but they made
me sick-not figuratively but physi-
cally and very actively sick. The
idea that adult responsible men
can be taken from their homes
stood up against a wall-backs to
the rifes-and shot to DEATHS
beyond expression. l have seen
something of that sort in Mexico
during the Villa rayages and among
semi-civilized people or SavageS
half drunk on Sotol and mara
juana-but that such thing should
happen in a country of supposed
culture, passes comprehension"

NAB HANRAHAN
AS VICTIM IN
BY-DR|Nk TEST.
Police Arrest Pennhoff Grill
Owner, Who Is Freed
in $500 Bail.

Michael j. Hanrahan, 46, of 523
West Fortieth street, proprietor OF
Hanrahan's Pennhoff Grill, %
North Pennsylvania street, was ar
rested there shortly before noon to-
day on a charge of selling spiritu-
Gus beverages.
Thus, after two and a half days
of warning, the police made their
test case under the recent inter-
probation of the attorney-generals
office that by-the-drink sales are
banned under Indiana's liquor law.
Both police and Mr.. Hanrahan
agreed that it was not a pre-
arranged arrest.
1T Just had to be me- he COM
mented at the police station. 1T
looks like I'm always selected"
Mr.. Hanrahan, a well-knoWn fig
ure in Indianapolis, was arrested by
Sergeant Ed Kruse and patrolman
Kenneth Downs.
Sergeant Kruse had been called
into conference this morning and
told to go out and make the ar
rest. This was the first official
action apparently, although Fred
Simon, acting, police chief, had been
insisting since Tuesday that the
entire department was working on
the case.
Big Moment Arrives
The police had instructions to
make the purchase themselves, Chief
Simon fearing that this might con-
stitute entrapment under the law.
Sergeant Kruse and Patrolman
Downs were enjoying beer and
sandwiches at the Pennhoff, pop
ular night spot, when the moment
for which they were waiting arrived.
Their story of what happened fol-
lows:
Charles Silk, 80, cambridge, Ind,
entered.
Give me a shot," he asked Mr..
who was behind the bar.
While the two policemen watched,
Ed Hunter, Is, of 518 Taft street,
entered and repeated Mr.. Silks Or
der. Again, Mr.. Hanrahan served
the drink, according to the police.
This time the policemen acted.
One seized the glass which Mr..
is said to have filled. The
other seized the bottle CT what APP
peared to be Old Ironsides whisky
from which Mr.. Hanrahan had
poured.
Bill Also Seized.
Then, one of them got the 81 bill
which Mr.. Hunter had laid down on
the bar. They had seen Mr.. Silk
lay down a piece and receive Is
cents in change, they said.
I'm sorry" Mr.. Hanrahan said
when they arrested him.
At headquarters he made bail of
$500 at once through Al Farb, pro-
fescsional bondsman, and was or
dered arraigned tomorrow morning
before Municipal Judge William H.
Sheaffer.
The arrest of Mr.. Hanrahan, &C
cording to Chief Simon, will end
police action until the case has
been carried through the courts
since it is the city's intention to
determine on how firm a legal
ground it stands on before whole
sale arrests are made.
This means, in effect, that all
restaurants and barrooms in town
can continue to. serve hard liquors
by the drink without fear of mo-
lestation.
Politics Are Denied
The places visited by Sergeant
Kruse's squad, which consumed
not inconsiderable amount OF beer
and sandwiches in the trip, were all
in the downtown district.
There was some comment in po-
litical circles over the fact that Mr..
Hanrahan has the reputation OF
having considerable influence with
the Republican party. The pres
ent city administration is Demo-
cratic.

The white man couldn't give the
Alississinewa river back to the In

smart
This seems an unacceptable cOncu-
sion after a close survey of the

which years ago was so beautiful
that it attracted the valiant Miami
Indians from another beautiful river

Now. however. the Indians would
not take the river back, even If the
state would throw in a fish hatch

And the Indians would need the

took from its waters are gone.
Playground for Scavengers
Waste from the Eaton strawboard

made the river Just another play
ground for carp and catfish, the
scavengers among fish.
Twenty-fOur hours a day the
Eaton plant sends into the river
a muSh which takes the oxygen
from the water. Game fish need
oxygen. The MisSisSineWa is shy

hunt for cleaner and clearer waters

The Miamis were good river

histories credit them with it, for
they say of the tribe:
