RAIL PROJECT,
vANNUYS SAYS
Senator Confers With Kern;
Expects Action by Con-
greSs Soon.
ELEVATION LONG SOUGHT
Indianapolis, Railroads to
Share in Cost, Present
Plans Provide.

Track elevation probably will
come to Indianapolis, Senator Fred
erick Van Mugs has promised Mayor
Kern.
Following an hours conference
with the Mayor late yesterday in
the Sphinx Arms, Senator VanNuys
predicted funds for South Side
track elevation would be available
as soon as Congress passes the
81 500 100000 appropriation bill
"Of course, we have little trou-
BILE getting money at times, but
when we get it the track elevation
program is going through. 1 ex-
pect the measure to come up before
Congress within 10 days" the Sen
ator said.
Planned Many Years
If Senator VanNuys' prediction
comes true, the South Side is to
share in a 100000 improvement
program that has been proposed for
many years.
Approximately 100000 of the
project cost would be provided by
the city and the railroads, while the
remainder would be a grant or long
time loan, according to present
plans.
Former proposals to secure the
improvement under the Federal
works program were thwarted by
Works Progress Administration
regulations and inability to obtain
a grant from the Public Works Ad-
ministration.

Battle lines for the coming

Indiana Republican party to-
day were more clearly drawn
following the annual meeting
and banquet of the Indiana
Republican Editorial Associa-

The issue within the party is a

Don B. Irwin, chairman; Burrell
Wright, treasurer, and Harry Fen

Elmer Sherwood, Hoosier Repub-

MINTON DEGREES
vANNUYS' CLAIM
Junior Senator Asserts WPA
Graft Charges Are
Politics.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Sena-
tor Frederick VanNuys' WPA coer-
cion allegations in Indiana are part
of political plan to gain the Dem
ocratic gubernatorial nomination for
E. Kirk Mckinney, Senator Sher-
man Minton charged today.
If there is anything but politics
connected with such allegations as
Senator VanNuys is making about
WPA, am sure would have heard
about it long time ago." Senator
Minton said.
My mail is constantly filled with
complaints of one kind or another
from Indiana he said, shut there
has been none whatever along that
line regarding WPA. a
ST just don't believe they are true.
! L think that Senator VanNuys went
back to indianapolis to try and elect
Mckinney and this is a part of the
campaign tactics. I do not believe
that sort of thing will make him
successful
Senator Frederick VanNuys, when
informed of the statement of SEN
ator Serman Mipton, that his VAN
Nuys) allegations were politics, .
said:
Il have absolutely no comment on
such telegram"
Mr.. VanNuys was busy today in
the Spink-Arms comforting with
Democratic chieftains.
Senator VanNuys said today he
had heard indirectly from Washing
ton that there is to be an investiga-
ton of his charges.
E. Kirk Mckinney, Democratic
gubernatorial candidate. and his
campaign managers could not be
reached on Senator Minton's charge
that VanNuys seeks merely to aid
Mr.. McKinney's candidacy.
1t was pointed out, however, by
observers that Senator Minton's
declaration contradicts the state
ment yesterday of Pleas Greenlee,
the candidate Minton is supporting.
Mr.. Greenlee yesterday said: HE
(Senator VanNuys) is to be COM
mended for bringing out into the
open the charges and rumors that
nave been going around about the
misuse of WPA patronage"
The former patronage secretary
OF Gov. McNutt then charged that
WPA employees friendly to him
either had been "coerced, intimi-
dated or discharged" by the In
diana WPA.

FUAD OF EGYPT
is NEAR DEATH
Physicians Despair of Life
of Key Figure in Brit
ish Fight.

Copyright 1886, by United Press
CAIRO, April 25.-King Fuad l.,
key figure in the fight of Egyptian
politicians over relations with
Great Britain, was sinking rapidly
today, so desperately ill that ply
sicians despaired of his life.
Unofficial reports that the King
had died brought an official bulle-
tin that he still was alive.
The bulletin said that q severe
hemorrhage had been stopped and
that the King passed quiet night,
but that his weakness continued.
Specialist Summoned
Prof. Cesare Fragoni one of
Italys most eminent specialists,
was summoned to Cairo by air.
plane and examined the King after
consulting with other physicians in
attendance.
King Fuad's illness was diagnosed
as stomatitis of necrotic character,
complicated by serious hemorrhage
last night which affected his general
conulClOn un1aVorably. (StomatitiS
is an inflammation of the mouth, in
this case complicated by the threat
of destruction of tissue.)
The kings health has not been
good since he suffered a severe at
tack of pleurisy in January, 1884.
This weakened his heart. He was
i'll seriously again in September, 1884,
when doctors advised him to cancel
plans for a visit to Greece.
At the time of the September
1880 illness, the government took
extraordinary measure to suppress
news of the kings condition and
prosecuted several newspapers that
mentioned it.
King Fuad is central figure in
the political situation in which fac
lions are torn between nationalism
and the argument that Egypt's
course is to continue relations with
Britain on something of the present
basis-which the nationalists hold
amounts to British domination over
a country whose independence, they
say, is merely nominal.

He used pillow of latest type

HALIFAX, NJ S., April 25.-Dr
D. E. Robertson and Alfred Scad
ding, imprisoned for 10 days in the
Moose River gold mine, progressed
satisfactorily today toward complete
recovery.
Physicians announced that Scad-
ding, whose condition was the more
serious, probably would not develop
gangrene in his infected feet. The
infection responded to treatment,
but not as well ss they had hoped.
Robertson was suffering from
little more than exhaustion.
Physicians expected rest to restore
him completely. He was taken to
the Victoria Hospital by plane from
Moose River yesterday. Scadding
was taken by the same means the
day before, few hours after their
rescue from the mine.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt invades the bailiwick
of Alfred E. Smith and Tammany
Hall tonight for what may be the
major speech of the pre-convention
phase of the New Deals campaign
for reelection
Mr.. Roosevelt addresses the Ma
tional Democratic Club. His voice
will be heard throughout the nation
on both radio networks. It was
reported that he had been advised
to make his speech specifically polit-
ical, and many believed he would
answer the sharp criticism of his
erstwhile political and personal
friend, AL Smith.
The Presidents speech signalized
a quickening of the New Deal cam

today to select a Keynote speaker
and permanent chairman for the
party's June convention. It has
been reported that Senator Alben

keynoter and Senator Joseph Rob-

chairman.

Although White House attaches
declined to give any hint of the ma

Democratic Chiefs Meet
Barley to Be Designated
Keynoter, Robinson as
Chairman, Belief.

BIZ United Press
PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-The
Democratic National Committee
meets today to select a keynote
speaker and a permanent chairman
for the nominating convention in
June.
Postmaster General James A. Far
ley, national chairman, who arrived
yesterday, predicted that the COM
mittee would select the keynoter
within half an hour" The COM
mittee also will arrive at recon-
mendation" for permanent chair
man within an equally short time,
he said.
The chairman nominally will be
elected by the convention. Actual
| ly, it was believed, the convention
will accept the committees recon-
mendation.
BsrkIey Is Hinted
Observers believed the commit
| tee would choose Senator Alben w
Barley Cd, KY as the keynoter
and Senator Joseph Robinson Cd,
Ark as permanent chairman.
Robinson was Alfred E. Smiths
running mate in the 1928 Demo-
cratic campaign and his elevation
would serve to depreciate the anti
cipated convention revolt of Smith
and other Democrats not in agree
ment with the Administration.
The committee will plan other
details of the convention, where
President Roosevelt's renomina-
ton is considered foregone con-
clusion
President Roosevelt will carry
Pennsylvania in November by a
larger majority than Senator Jo-
.serh Guffey did," Farley said upon
his arrival here. Guffey defeated
former Republican Senator David
A. Reed by $4,000 majority in
1884.
Terms F. d. r. Stronger
"At the present time Mr.. Roose-
welt is stronger than he was when
elected, and in my opinion, he will
receive more electoral votes than
he did in 1882" Farley continued.
IT am satisfied that this will be
the largest attended convention in
many years. Thousands of appli-
cations for tickets and reservations
already have been received. Phil
adelphia is assured of an extremely
busy week"
