Lives on in Achievements. Hebrew
Congregation Is Told.
“Benjamin Franklin is a man who
did not die: he lives on in the
achievements he gave to America
ar.d the world,” declared Rabbi
Morris M. Feuerlicht in his ser
mon on Benjamin Franklin at the

out how many professional patriots
noted that today is the 224th anni
versary of the birth of Franklin,"
the Rabbi said.
"Franklin was a free-thinking
literal, denying the supernatural
aspects of religion while believing
in God, in providence and in im
morality.”

The lowest temperature in twelve years was recorded in Indianap

bureau sank to 15 degrees below zero.
Only once In the last eighteen years has the mercury sunk to a level

the worst blizzards this section of the United States has endured for
decades, a low temperature of 19 degrees below was reported.
The cold wave, which crept on
the midwest from western regions

However, the wave was believed

DRY REPEAL VOTE
SLATED IN SENATE
BY FAIL R. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Senate
wets and drys are ready to go on
record on repeal of the eighteenth
amendment, which is before them
in the Blaine resolution. It will be
the first test vote on the prohibition
amendment since it was ratified
eleven years ago.
Invitations for the test of strength
were issued today by representatives
of the opposing factions. Senator
Borah (Rep., Idaho*. outspoken dry
leader, announced his willingness for
a vote at any time, while Senator
Blaine (Rep.. Wis.), author of the
resolution, said he would expect a
vote as soon as the tariff bill is
out of the way. Chairman Norris 9 f
the judiciary committee lent his
encouragament to the movement by
promising the committee would re
port out the resolution—adversely—
and let the senate decide.

ders here with an intercity compact
between the New York and Chicago
underworlds.
The bit of lead was taken from
the body of Frank Yale, Brooklyn
racketeer who was slain more than
a year ago. Tests in Chicago, Police
Commissioner Whalen announced,
showed that it was fired from a sub
machine gun found in the Benton
Harbor (Mich.) home of Frederick
Burke. The same gun was used in
the St. Valentine's day massacre of
seven men in Chicago.
Burke is described as the “most
wanted” man in the country and
agents of Whalen's secret service
squad are working with Chicago de
tectives to apprehend him. Burke,
already charged with the piassacre
of the seven members of the Moran
gang last February, with the murder
of a Benton Harbor policeman and
with numerous bank robberies, is
characterized by Whalen as the
genius of the inter-city murder
system.
Scarface A1 Capone, notorious
underworld chieftain, also comes
into the picture. Weapons found in
Burke's Benton Harbor fortress and
some of those abandoned here at
the time of the Yale murder have
been traced to an arsenal which
Capone formerly maintained in
Chicago, according to Whalen.
FLIER HUNT SFURRED

posibility that Maury Graham, air

where his plane went down, suprred

Belief that the Western Air Ex
press flier still may be alive in the
winter-locked region between here
and Salt Lake City, Utah, his mail
route terminal, spurred the fo"e
seeking him. Assistance came from
the United States army, navy and

The augmented searching squad

aided by improved weather condi

an Issue when he comes up for
re-election in November.
Drys, stronger numerically than
they ever have been before, have
no worry about the result of a test.
While the senate is ready for a
vote, it U. by no means certain the
house will follow suit.
However, Republican Floor Lead
er Tilson said today he will not
stand in the way of a test vote on
prohibition there "if our members
desire to follow the lead of the
senate.” He said the judiciary com

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1930
SETTLE DOWN
FOR WORK ON
NAVAL PARITY
Entire U. S. Delegation to
Parley Is Received by
British Premier.
AWAIT MOVE ANXIOUSLY
Result of Stimson’s Talk
With MacDonald Is
Worry Source.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, Jan. 18.—Premier J.
Ramsay MacDonald received the
entire American delegation to the
London naval conference at his
residence. No. 10 Downing street, at
noon today.
The delegates, arrayed in custo
mary diplomatic style, wearing
morning coats and toppers, arrived
at Downing street at 11:55 a. m.,
shortly after Miss Ishbel MacDon
ald, the premier’s daughter, made
her entrance.
A small crowd was present, in the
historic street, as the Americans
approached the traditional home of
British premiers.
Before entering the building, the
delegation posed for a group photo
graph.
The silence of the United States
representatives, following their pre
liminary interviews with British
leaders, on the major issues which
will come before the conference,
has made them the chief figures
of speculation, and their pronounce
ment of policy is awaited eagerly
by diplomats of the other four
world powers.
Typically American
The energy with which Secretary
of State Stimson and his colleagues
plunged into • their pre-confercnce
tasks, interviews, private meetings
and presentations is considered
“typically American,’’ and expres
sive of the busines-like methods
with which the preliminary nego
tiations have been undertaken.
Today was given over to two im
portant affairs —“dressing up” for
the meeting of the entire delegation
with the premier, scheduled for
noon, and the business of “settling
down” in a city which for the most
part is unfamiliar to the scores of
men and women workers attached
to the delegates and advisers.
The leaders of America’s mission,
however, are thoroughly at home
here. Secretary Stimson has visited
London on numerous occasions.
Dwight W. Morrow, of course, was
a familiar figure in London during
the war, when he was here as one
of the fiscal agents for J. P. Morgan
& Cos.
Charles Francis Adams, secretary
of the navy, has had a long asso
ciation with England through Brit
ish relatives. Senators David A.
Reed and Joseph T. Robinson have
been frequent visitors, and Ambas
sador Hugh S. Gibson may be said
to have been almost a commuter.
Speculation Rife
Speculation as to the result of
Secretary Stimson’s first private
meeting with Premeir MacDonald
was heightened when Stimson de
clined, on the plea that he had gone
through a strenuous day, to say any
thing other than his “cup of tea”
with the English leader had been
“pleasant.”
For the rank and file of the Amer
ican group—exclusive of those who
were engaged on technical details
and work on important naval data—
the first two days were devoted to
getting adjusted to the ways of
London, to sightseeing, and to dodg
ing London’s "strange” left-hand
traffic.
The public houses from Piccadilly
to the Strand, quaint and to many
“thrilling,” were accorded some at
tention by the visitors.
To the young women accompany
ing the mission. London is “simply
marvelous.” With the heavy work
of the conference yet to begin, they
are having the time of their lifes,
and they are entranced by the "for
eignness” of the city.
Can’t Speak English
“It would be easy to answer the
questions we are asked,” said one of
the stenographers who had been
bombarded by a group of reporters,
“if they would just 6peak English.”
Upon his return from his confer
ence with Premier MacDonald, Sec
retary Stimson found himself await
ed by a large group of British and
American newspaper men, who had
been plentifully entertained at a
temporary bar, set up by the ob
liging management of the Ritz, in
the green room.
Repartee enlivened the secretary's
interview—an interview that pro
duced little information for the
press.
One of the English reporters sug
gested that Mr. Stimson’s motto
might be “Faith, Hope and Parity.”
“We are primed on all three,”
said the secretary.
“But the greatest of these is
parity," said an Australian, to
wnlch a colleague added: “Parity
covers a multitude of ships.”
West Is in the Saddle
2iEA WashitiQTbn Rurc&H
Senator Joseph Grundy of Pennsylvania recently branded the west
as a collection of “backward states," but that was before Senator
Grundy saw this picture. It proves conclusively that western states
men in Washington hold their share, or more, of the really important
senatorial committee chairmanships.
Young Bob L aPollette of Wisconsin, leader of the insurgents, is
chairman of the committee on manufactures (1); Borah of Idaho, for
eign relations (21; Norris of Nebraska, judiciary committee (3): Hiram
Johnson of California, commerce (4); Smoot of Idaho, finance (5);
Thomas of Idaho, irrigation‘and reclamation (6); McNary of Oregon,
agriculture (7); Wesley L. Jones of Washington, appropriations (8);
Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota, public lands (9); Frazier of North
Dakota, Indian affairs (10).
Not a bad record for statesmen from “backward states,” is it?
