Scandal in In
diana Inquiry
Doran Remains at South Bend
Conduct Investigation Into
Grave Charges.
to
South Bend, Ind., Sept. 2 6. Rum
blngs of an impending scandal which
may reach into the high realms of
government prohibition forces in In
diana and Chicago were heard here
today.
So serious did the situation appear
that Dr. James N. Doran, national
commissioner of prohibition, after
hearing the charges, abandoned his
announced plan to return at once to
Washington, D. C. Dr. Doran set out
at once in an automobile bound
for Chicako to consult with E.
O. Yellowley, prohibition administra
tor for Illinois.
Three other Washington officials,
leading members of the staff of At
torney General Mitchell, joined Dr.
Doran in a conference over the mat
ter. These men, who had come here
today to help carry through the fed
eral investigation in the alleged al
liance between gang lords and pub
lic officials in northern Indiana, are
Oscar Raymond Luhring, first assist
ant to Attorney General Mitchell, and
in direct charge of all criminal prose
cutions for the government; Oliver
Pagan, noted indictment expert, and
John S. Pratt, government prosecutor,
known for his prosecution for fraud
of Dr. Frederick Cook, arctic explor
er. Discuss Purported Conference.
Although Dr. Doran and the other
officials refuse to discuss the threat
of scandal involving the prohibition
department, it was learned that the
charges deal with a reported confer
ence between powerful Indiana poli
ticians and vice and bootleg over
lords, and the deal made thereia.
where, it was alleged, bootleggers
were promised protection. After
wards, it is reported, direct evidence
of corruption of northern Indiana of
ficials was pigeonholed by prohibition
officials for two years without any
action being taken.
The story as it has been unfolded
to agents of the department of Justice
during their investigation in Lake
county, and which, it is thought, has
been presented to the grand jury,
goe3 back to the national election in
1926. United States Senators James
E. Watson and Arthur E. Robinson,
both republicans, were re-elected to
the senate in that election.
County Went Wet.
Lake county went wet. Hundreds
of speakeasies v.-pre set up in the
communities populated by workmen
from the steel mills and the factories.
Warfare set up among some of the
gangsters engaged in supplying the
flow of moonshine, and one of them,
Urash Marvich was killed. "
Nick Marvich, a brother, was sent
to the federal penitentiary for viola
tion of the white slave act. He sent
word to federal prohibition officials
that he would confess his activities
as a booze and vice lord, and would
implicate officials in his confession.
He is said to have given a sworn
affidavit asserting that he had paid
regular tribute to police and other
officials, and giving the names of
those he accused. World-Herald.

Nebraska Ban
on Fireworks
Governor, in Fire Prevention Week
Statement, Asks for Prohibi
tion of Explosives
Lincoln. Sept. 27. Governor Wea
ver Friday ardently advocated the
rapidly growing movement to ban
fireworks and explosives.
In a proclamation asking for state
wide observance of Fire Prevention
week. Oct. 9 to 15, the governor de
voted a paragraph to the perils of
explosives and dire need for legis
lation by cities of the state and by
the legislature.
On that subject be said:
"I respectfully direct the at
tention of t he public to the
necessity for the pas;ag of
such laws by the state and lo
cal subdivisions as will conserve
human life and property by a
better control o. explosives such
as firecrackers r.n fireworks.
Frequently in the hands of chil
dren and inexperienced persons
they are a menace to th? Indi
vidual and the public."
On Fire Prevention week Gover
nor Weaver asked observance of this
annual event as a means of constant
ly reducing unnecessary loss of life
and property.
In 1928, he pointed out, fire
losses over thp nation ' dwindled to
$6,022,032 below those of 1927.
largely through a campaign cf edu
cation.
Losses in Nebraska, he, said, were
reduced to 140,000. Omaha Bee

Reply to Senator
Howell's Charges
Cannon Says Hoover Is Determined
to Investigate "Serious Facts"
Expect Enforcement
Washington, D. C. Sept. 26.
The hubbub over prohibition condi
tions in the District of Columbia
has prompted Bishop James Can
non, jr., chairman of the Board of
Temperance and Social Service of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, to express the conviction that
if additional enforcement legisla
tion is found necessary "the people
will expect it to be promptly forth
coming."
This opinion is contained in a re
port he is sending to the church
press concerning the work of the
several concerning religious confer
ences which he attended recently as
an official delegate. The report reads
in part:
"A striking example of the Hoover
method of handling important sub
jects is found in his reply to the
statement of Senator Howell on lack
of prohibition enofrcement in the
District of Columbia.
"In this statement, which should
receive the hearty, enthusiastic ap
proval and active surport not only
of all true friends of prohibition
but of all genuine supporters of con
stitutional government, the president
most signfieantly declares: "It is the
intention, not only to secure the full
est enforcement in the district pos
sible under the organization cf en-
agencies as provided by law. but to
make it a model in this country.
"This declaration is the climax
of a statement bristling with facts,
asserting that Senator Howell's
statement seriously impugns the good
faith and capacity of the district
officials, calling them by name; that
the president is glad the question
has been raised, expressing a na
tural confidence that such charger
would not be made on the floor of
the senate unless they were based
on facts, and declaring positively
that if such facts are forthcoming
the president himself will have the
matter thoroughly investigated."

Civil war. Being in the south and
having his sympathies with the peo
ple of that section, when the Civil
war came he went with the other
boys of the south, and fought for
k
what he believed to be the proper
thing. He was a member of the 8th
irgina cavelry and was comrade
of Samuel A. Farris. and J. W.
Thomason. the former the father of
John and Lee Farris of Murray and
Union and the latter having resided

troops and was held for some six
months. Following the war, Mr.
Copenhaver returned to the pursuits
of peace and continued to make his
home in the east until the wife
passed away some twenty-six years
ago. After some time he broke up
the home and has made his home
with the children during the years
following.
Uncle Copenhaver spent much of
his time in Murray at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. John H. Farris,
and was well known by many of the
people here. At the age of ninety
years and nearly tour monins, ne
passed away at the home of his son,
C. M. Copenhaver at Syracuse, Ne
braska, on last Saturday morning.
The funeral was held at the home of
the son in Syracuse early Sunday
afternoon and the funeral cortege
departed for the old home at Mar
ion, irginia, wnere tne Doay wm

has proceeded him over a quarter of
a century to the other and better
world. Uncle Copenhaver was never
a member of the church as we count
but a ff Mated with the Lutherans,
?nd was a very regular attendant to
the place of worship. The union of
this man and his excellent wife was
blessed by. five son3 and four daugh

Credit Plan
Say Regional Clearing Houses Will
Work for Safer Institutions in
State of Nebraska.
Lincoln, Sept. 27. Nebraska banks
will be districted into regional clear
ing house associations, each having
a credit bureau in the near future
In acccrdance with plans made by
committees of the state bankers' asso
ciation in session here Friday.
Meeting essentially to analyze the
banking situation, members of the
clearing house,' county organization
and credit bureau committees believe
they have a solution for stronger
banks by a system of more profitable
bank management. They feel the fi
nancial outlook is bright, creating a
spirit of confidence among the bank
ers who are now more than ever de
termined to have strong banks.
Meet on Oct. 18.
The clearing house committee will
submit plans at a meeting here on
Oct. 18, for creating the proposed
districts in the state. It is though!
that each regional clearing house will
include about three to six counties,
depending on the number of banks.
Lincoln and Omaha concerns, because
of their own clearing house systems,
will not be included in the proposed
organization.
Phil Hall, Greenwood, president of
the state bankers' association, said
the proposed regional associations
will possibly meet quarterly. Fre
mont has already organized a suc
cessful organization of the sort which
convenes four times a year. Mr. Hall
declared that such meetings will
bring about a closer contact among
bankers and will stop duplication of
borrowing.
Hughes Attends.
In other words, he asserted, they
will be schools in banking where
strengthening of the country banks
will be attempted.
Besides President Hall the commit
teemen present included: W. B.

REGIME STILL THREATENED
Hankow Latest dispatches receiv
ed here Friday from Nanking indi
cate that the revolting "ironsiders"
whose surrender had been reported.
are still in tne Held and are oner-
ing a serious threat to the nationalist
government.
During the past twenty-four hours
advices indicated that only a small
number of "ironsiders" had been dis
armed in North Hunan by the na
tionalists. The majority of the di
vision are marching .toward Kwangsi
to Join rebel forces there.
The Hunan provincial government
has been ordered to block the south
ward advance of the "ironsiders" un
der Gen. Chang FakWei. However, it
19 generally believed that the Hunan
governor will not attempt to hinder
the "ironsiders" whose fighting quali
ties are feared thruout China.
Observers here consider that the
