INDIANA'S CAMPAIGN SHOWS MOST VOTERS TIRED OF EACH PARTY Beveridge and Ralston Fight Without Rancor for Senatorship. FORMER HAS THE EDGE Believed Democrats Will ? i mi ol_ capture inree 10 six Seats in House. TARIFF IS MAIN ISSUE Itepqblicau Registration Dro^s While That for Opponents Indicates Gain. Br LOCIS 8KIBOL.D. Special Dispatch to Tub Nbw.Yobk ITebald. Indianapolis, Oct. 11.?Rival Republican and Democratic professional leaders assert equal confidence and } display little moderation in their claims over the outcome of the Indiana Senate fight. In "selling" their candidates and is iies to the man on the street and the man on tlje farm they are inviting a comparison of the personal* qualities of former Senator Albert Jeremiah Beverldge, the Republican contender, and former Oovernor James M. Ralston, his Democratic opponent. The result of the vigorous and orderly battle between them will to a very largo extent turn on this comparison. In this respect any advantage would naturally favor Mr. Bcv eridge. Ho is acclaimed py most Hooslers as "the big man in Indiana" ? first, because of his keen intellectual qualities; second, for his skill as an orator, and of equal Importance, for his pronounced political prescience? his ability to read the trend of the popular mind. Koeman Worthy of Ills Steel* Mr. Ralston, sturdy, frank, ingenuous and less subtle in the arts of campaigning ?han his gifted rival, is nevertheless a foeman to be feared, not so much for personal reasons as for the forces he represents. If you ask an independent observer his opinion of tho contest between these two men who fight without rancor along normal political lines the answer Is that Mr. Heveridge will win, but that "he'll know he's been In a fieht?it's that close." An Impartial appraisement of the contest would bo that if tho rival party managers succeed In arousing greater popular interest than appears at present the normal balances between the two parties wjll be restored ?men and women voters who thought in Republican terms ten years ago will upport Mr. Beveridge, and those who 'lien entertained Democratic preferences will vote for Mr. Ralston. Most of the hysteria encouraged by war conditions seems to have been squeezed out of the Indiana political atmosphere and. in common with other States, has left the voters apathetic, wearied of the stock arguments, tricks and drives. If the private admissions of opposing managers are correct it requires a salesmanship of no mean order to "sell" political wares in Indiana. Little Difference Seen. The fact seems to be (hat a vast majority of the Hooslers are tired of both parties, and sec little actual difference between them. In the absence of some tiling ttior? promising the easy Influence of habit probably will prevail. The moat hopeful Republican partisan admits the probability of a "light vote.'fc He will be fully satisfied If Mr. ReverIdgo wins by from 20.000 to 50.000. The plurality of 1S5,000/nr Mr. Harding two years ago does not figure in their calculations this year. The Democrats assert they will he able to roll tip from 25,000 to 40,000 for Mr. Ralston. With only minor Ptate eanV dldates to engage attention the contest between Mr. Beverldge and Mr. Ralston and for the thirteen seats In the lower house of Congress monopolizes the professional Interest. One thing appears to be reasonably sure. There will be from three to six Democrats In the next Hou^e. There Is none at present. From thin the Democratic managers argue there Is certain to be a much larger vote for Mr. Ralston than the Republicans concede. The registration which Is now progressing has shown a slump In the old time normal Republican districts and an Increase in those that were Democratic before the war. Women citizens, who will probably contribute around 350 000 of the 1.000,000 polled, are expected to divide on "regular partisan lines." The managers and candidates are making Intense love to them, so to speak?and the women are coyly encouraging the nattering attentions. Fewer Pledges Given. The most Impressive feature of the campaigning by both parties Is that the two rsndldates for the Senate and the twenty-six contenders for the House are not so reckless in committing themselves to specific pledges as they were two years ago.

Orders Governmer Suits designed to test the validi foreign as well as American ships ai American ports were started yesterda Anchor lines. Their attorneys went bdlore Judg Court and applied for an order restra interfering with ships carrying alco use of passengers and crew. | The Judge refused to grant the o show cause why it should not be gi P. M. next Tuesday. John Holly Clar ney, argued against the application y< Members of the firm of Lord, Daj the Cunard company, went to Wash a friendly test case with Attorney-Ger tionality of the ruling regarding shi] quickly as possible. It was thought that American ship* owners also might decide to try for an injunction, but the executive committee, meeting yesterday at 11 Broadway, came to this conclusion: "The association feels that the question of meeting the situation produced by the Attorney-General's opinion is one which should be left to tlfe discretion of the individual companies." See Ship Subsidy Argument. Otherwise the committee found in the situation, another argument for the passage of the ship subsidy bill. Decision of the Cunard Line to seek an injunction is looked upon by officers of the Department of Justice as the first step in the fight of the foreign ship owners against the recent liquor ruling, the Associated Press learned in Washington last night. Notice that counsel for the Cunard company were on their way to Washington did not come as a surprise. Department officers said that they were ready to "meet the issue" both as regards an injunction and a test case, which, they said, undoubtedly would be brought whatever the action on the application already made. "Issuance of the injunction was forecast." says the Associated Press, "both by the Department of Justice and the Shipping Board. Under the ordinary Judicial procedure, it was said, an injunction usually issues if the petitioner can show to the court that the act complained of will operate to his injury in the period which I must intervene Defore he can obtain other relief. Order Expected at Once. "It was expected that an order to show cause would bo granted at once, returnable within a brief period, and that tho enjoining order might have effect before the termination of the ; time allowed by President Harding for tho foreign lines to put their affairs In order to conform with tho ruling. This period ends October 14 when, according to information g^en in official circles to-day, the Treasury Department is expected to issue its regulations to customs and prohibition agents for enforcement of the new ban. "Attorney-General Dougherty said to day it was tho hope of his department that those opposing the liquor ban would carctully select the case upon which they would make their real fight in order that a clear cut issue might be presented to the court of the first Instance and, eventually, to the United States Supreme Court for final determination." The complaint filed here yesterday by the Cunard and Anchor lines tills about twenty pages. It says that "irreparable injury" would be done to the 1 Investment of millions of dollars In 'he ships of the two companies should the Daugherty ruling be enforced. It points out lhat the laws of France and Italy require tho daily serving of a certain amount of wine to crews of ships making ports of those countries points of departure. It says that If j wine Is prohibited, particularly* on vessels calling at Italian ports, ships could not leavo those ports. Contravenes Treaty. The complaint contends further that the ruling of the Attorney-Oenersl contravenes the general commerc# treaty of 1815 and that the Volstead act Is unconstitutional. It says the Eighteenth Amendment declared transportation of liquor to be Illegal, but did not decree the possession of liquor to be Illegal aboard ship. When Judge Hand made the "show cause" order returnable on Tuesday, the attorneys for tho two steamship companies, f/ord. Pay ft Lord, asked for a temporary stay restraining the Oovcrnment. In the Interval, from seizing liquor on tho companies' ships. This motion was withdrawn after Mr. Clark noted that an the Government would not try to enforce the ruling until October 14 tho stay would bo unnecessary. In Its statement the American Steamship Owners Association said : "In the Judgment of the association It Is a foregone conclusion that If the Interpretation "of the Attorney-General Is ultimately sustained American ship# will ho plared at such a great disadvantage with foreign ships that national aid must Immediately be given If prl \ately owned American ships now operating ate to be maintained and the merchant and foreign trade developed.

PART IS IN DUNGEON Raiders Dig Through Floor to Enter Walled In Champagne Room. A tip that liquor was being carried into the five story building at 130 West Third street came recently to Ralph A. Day, prohibition director. The building is a warehouse and nat fni* /?-Am wViaPO fiivtll avenue loses itself in Greenwich Village. Yesterday fifteen of the raiders of John H. Appleby, zone chief, bounced into the place and found $250,000 worth of spirits. There were 1,000 cases of Melvale rye whisky. 300 eases of champagne, 150 gpllons of wine and 500 gallons of alcohol. Permits and bonding certificates were exhibited for everything but the champagne and the alcohol, worth about $40,000. They were seized. The champagne was hidden in a completely walled in room of the cellar. To reach it the raiders removed a three ton stamping machine and cut a hole in the floor. Tho whisky, wines and alcohol wer? on upper floors. The whole Italian quarter in addition to Greenwich Village, turned out to watch the Invasion and the carting away of the stuff, which took hours. Ir. the midst of the flurry an automobile truck In front of the building caught fire. What with the smoke and the firemen and everything even the most sophisticated villagers entertained something like a thrill. Exhibit Their Permits. Appleby's men had a search warrant from United States Commissioner Hitchcock. They made use of it at 11 A. M. John Holley Clark. Assistant United States Attorney, was with them. The building Is the headquarters of the Franz Trucking and Rigging Company ind, according to Appleby, the members of that firm, Feter Franz and Benjamin Strumpf, also own the building under the name of the Mlnuto Realty Company. Strumpf met the raiders and told them that whisky, alcohol and wine were stored on the premises by Arms holding the proper permits. The whlskv was found in a rear room on the third floor. The door was locked and sealed and labels indicating that liquor hid been stored there legitimately were tacked to tho door, Strumpf thought at first that the prohibition agents were robbers. They said he drew a revolver and prepared to protect the property. When they satisfied him of their identity he made no objection to the search. The 130 barrels of wine were found on the main and third floors. It was proved thst they were put there two >cara ngo Dy 11??? Knickerbocker Warehouse Company because the warehouse hadn't room to house all the beverages sent to It by the Government. The 500 gallons of alcohol. In five gallon cans, were on the fourth floor. Suspects Keaaler Interests. Some of the ^ralderr noticed that the cellar which they ha-' explored did not conform exactly to the measurements of the floor above. This led to the discovery of the walled In room and the 300 cases of champagne. Ktrumpf said that a short time ago one Jacob Rosenthal leased the space In widch the champagne was found and boarded It up himself without the owners of the building knowing anything about the eontents of the boxes he placed In the compartment. | Summonses were handed to Franz. Strumpf and Rosenthal. Appleby said there was a connect! >n between yester- ' day's raid and the one last Friday In the i Standard Carpet Company's storehouse. | at 319 East Forty-fourth street, where) liquors and alcohol appraised at 1750.- I 000, bootleg value, were seised. Truck* which carried booso to and from the: Korty-fourth street building were also seen In West Third street Appleby said i ho had reason to believe that Mannle Kessler, now under Indictment and charged with being a bootlegger, had an ' Interest In the champagne found In West J Third street. Prohibition agents nlso raided yesterday afternoon the Mlelielob restaurant, at 111 East Twenty eighth street, and got 150 hottlea of whisky, champagne, gin and other forbidden drinks, which they found In an Icebox In the cellar.

Special Cable to Tub N<- Turk 1'nu'P. Oopi/riffht, 1022, by The rw ' rk. Huami New Tork ITernld Bureau, ) Pnrl>. Oct 11. f Reports from .ton ot a now attempt to settle th< problem of v. debts elicited a new and explicit I statement of the French position today from one of the highest authori- j ties of the French Finance Ministry. It may he summarized as follows: First?The French Government, after long study of European conditions, does not believe there is the slightest possibility of France meeting any por- j tion of her debts or interest during j the next four years, as all available receipts for that period must be used in building up the devastated regions. Second?Franco for the moment cannot accept Senate Lodge's suggestion that her promises to "pay on demand'* be replaced by a new series of securities providing definite dates for payment and definite rates of interest. Third?The French Government is doing its utmost to find a new formula for the regulation of European debts and the reparations tangle, and probably will submit a detailed scheme ! by Premier Poincaro when the Interallied financial conference Is hold in Brussels about November 1. New AMHmnrnt of (irrman Debt. This plan will call for a new assessment of Germany's Indebtedness on a basis of actual reparations only, all charges for pensions and wartime allotments, Ac., to be wiped off the slate. I Tn France's case this would reduce the I French clafm nearly 25 per cent. This plan Is expected to arouse opposition In Great Britain, as the British share In reparations was originally demanded to cover pensions charges In the British dominions. "Much depends, of course, upon the nature of the settlements the British will make with the United States," the Government's financial spokesman told Till! New York Herald correspondent to-day. "From all Information we have received from England It Is very doubtful whether Britain herself Is able to make a settlement calling for thn full payment of her debt In twenty-five years. "So far as France Is concerned It Is generally conceded here to he absolutely out of the question for France to make any such arrangement. During the next four years France's entire Income must be devoted to meet ordinary budget requirements and to'build up ruined factories that pre-war conditions may be restored. It is getting moro difficult every year to obtain money of a public already burdened with heavy taxes, and It Is doubtful whether the present Issue of Treasury bonds at fi per cent, will bring In much more than enough to meet the budget deficit of 4,000.000.000 francs this year. "Added to this difficulty France must not forget the danger of political disturbances. as certainly If taxes are Increased there will be great popular opposition and a demand that Germany be made to pay all costs in the devastated res""" j "Another factor. which even America | financiers roongnlae. Is the danger in signing anything calling for the immo- i ; diate payment of Interest. Were this done immediately, an some political In- I I tcrests have suggested. It would mean a great rush to buy dollars, sending ex- ' | change to at least eighteen francs to j ! the dollar Inside another twelvemonth. ! ; or probably double that. Forecast Recovery In Four Years. ! "However. If we are allowed to work I slowly and surely, four yearn will see us on the way to recovery, with ' steadily Increasing sums ready to be oe1 voted to meeting the American debt. 1 Incidentally this was discussed In Now i York and Washington by M. Farmen1 tier, and though he was then unauthorj I zed to go further than to explain the I French impossibility of paying until the I devastation had been repaired he received the assurance of sympathetic treatment from the highest American authorities. Probably this explains the evident Inclination of the American flovernment not to deal so rigidly wIM) France as with Oreat Britain, which has regained pre-war capacity to meet her obligations." It was Insisted In official circles thai i there is no desire here to transfer the projected financial congress from Brussels to London unless specifically proposed by the United States. Although the date Is not definitely fixed It Is felt that It must be held In the middle of November. Just after the American elections. French. British and Belgian Finance Ministers virtually have agreed '.hat there must be some modification of Germany's Indebtedness to enable Geo many lo induce foreign Investors to lend her the cash to meet her war obligations.

Mr. Smith was elected Governor and took office on January 1. 1919. He hat been a member of the Constitutional Convention In 1915. He says I am now distorting figures to present an alibi for what he calls the destruction of the plan for renrgnnixing tno mate HovrnuMf He hegnn at the outset of his administration to provide an alibi for non-performance by asserting that nothing could he done without changing the organisation of the State government by constitutional amendment and by appointing a commission, styled a reconstruction commission. and for two years In office ho discussed that subject. "In the campaign two years ago he presented as his alibi for not having stoppeil the mounting cost of government and for having sent the cost higher than It had ever been In the history of the State, that It was Impossible for the Governor to operate the machinery of the S'ate government. "I promised that If I were elected I would stop the mounting cost of government without waiting for a constitutional amendment. I did It.

Widow Goes to Shore With Willie. DENY MINISTER WROTE Officials Contend They Know Only of Mrs. Mills's Letters to Him. Spuria I Divpatch to Tirr Nrw York alb. New Brunswick, N. J.. iV.. 71.?,-v potato knife is a new clew tn the mystery enveloping the murder of the Rev. Edward W. Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills on the night of September lb It succeeded to-night the bloody peach basket said to have been picked up near the spot at which the liodies were found and which mysteriously disappeared within an hour or so after its finding. The potato knife was found by a lad of years on the Sunday after tho bodies were discovered. It is In the bands, not r' . Tosecutor A--aria H. Bookman ot his colleague Joseph Strieker hut of the local police, who heretofore have been out of the easo entirely. There is a report about New Brunswick to-night that the police aro to take a hand in solving the murder and that their entry may be made within twenty-four hours in a rather sensational manner. Mrs. Hall, widow of the murdered rector, is to go to Atlantic Oty for a rest in a day or so. With her will go Jf W11I10 Stevens, her brother, and the household, Including Miss Salllc Peters, who has been her spokesman. How long their stay at the slK 111 he is undetermined. The shock ot the crime, her examination by the Prosecutors and the publicity-have, it is understood, quite unnerved Mrs. Hall. No Nearer a Dotation. Proaecutora Strieker and Bcekman, aa well as tho detectives who are active oil the case, now assert there are no letters In therr possesion from Hall to Mrs. Mills and that they have seen no such b<ters. All tho letters they have seen, they assert, were written by Mrs. Mills. Tills Is direct contradiction to Information obtained by The Newt York Herald front as high a source as the prosecutors themselves. The information referred to was to the effect that Bookman and Strieker had seen and handled two Utters from Hall to Mrs. Mills. Drawing herrings across the trail, which New Brunswick believes resulted in tite arrest of Clifford Hayes, charged with the murder, has brought Into the case the whole family of Nicholas Bah liter, saloonkeeper. But It has not brought the mystery one step nearer solution. The belief Is growing that there ure influences at work to prevent the clearing of Ihe case. The local newspaper to-night reprints an editorial from the Trenton 7'imea, which reads In part: "Whatever the motive behind the strange antics of the prosecuting officials in the New Brunswick murder case, they certainly are bringing the good name of New Jersey into disrepute all over the country. It will indeed be a sorry day If the latest arrest is merely a political gesture. "But Is It all politics? Or social Influence? Or Is It something more sinister? If Gov. Kdwards is honestly in earnest about clearing up the foul stench he might with propriety send the Attorney-General Into Middlesex county. "As the matter stands now It will not be easy to keep the scandal out of tha campaign." Tho knife the police have is a small affair. There are stains on it that will bo analyzed. It was found not very near .the place where the bodies lay by Johnnie Lyons, who took It to his mother. His mother, after looking the knife ove:. so site said, throw it away. It was retrieved. however, and to-day Thomas Lyons, the father, drove to pollco hoadquaiters and turned It over to Toltca Chief Michael O'Connell. Vestryman Owned Car. According to tho youngster, he found the knife about a quarter of a mile from Deruesys lane, toward Bound Brook. The police have been looking into tho case of a burned automobile, hut hav-t loun<l noimng to cunmci n ur hj- uwin with the tragedy. It was the property of Halph V. M. 'lorstlrie. vestryman ot Half's Chtirch of St. John the Evangelist. He Is the man who said Mra. Mills tried to win his affections some years niro and whose movements on the Thursday night of the murder the proseruto- s thought It worth while to Inquire Into. Oorsllnc was called to the Court House on Saturday and examined. Hi* automobile waa burned the next day. It was being driven, he said, by his chauffeur and the burning occurred about a mile and a half out of town. The car was an Apporson "Jackrabhlt." In which he drove about a good deal. On the evening of the murder Gorslln* took to her homo Miss Catharine Kastall, member of the choir of St. John's, according to the story he told Ut-ekman and Sfrlckrr. Oorsline's stsrv was that he left th? Y. M C. A. at 10:16 o'clock and met a member of the choir, lie took her home In his car. then went to hla own how. In this storv he is corroborated to-nigh-, by Miss Rastall. a very pretty girl. She said she left a moving picture house s . 10 o'clock and that Uorsllne saw and called to her, taking her home She arrived at about 10'UO o'clock, she said, and Oorsllnc told her he was going right home Oorsllnc was In bad luck.
