It was entitled “C alizing the News—or Justa Lotta Poppa Gandhi.” Miss Jane Rodgers, vaude ville and radio singer, sang hall a dozen songs of her own composition to popular tunes and written around current topics in the Capital One was a ballad concerning the re- cent brush between Secretary of War Hurley and a Senate committee regard- ing the Philippine Islands. The lines, to the tune of “Wearing of the Green,” included these: “Once an Irishman named Patrick, our histories relate, Freed the Emerald Island from evry kind of snake. That'’s the only independence that Ire- land ever had, And the credit goes to Patrick. He was sure a clever lad “Now another Irish Patrick has ap- peared upon the scenes. He is strong for independence—but not for the Philippines. And a dangerous combination—as Harry Hawes has seen— Is a man who's seeing red when he's a-wearin’ of the green.” At 9 o'clock there was a pause to per- mit. President Hoover to press a button, which formally opened the George ‘Washington Bicentennial historical loan exhibition at the Corcoran Art Gallery. Offer New “Old Song.” George O’Connor and Matt Horne, | ‘who have taken part in the association's dinner since the outset 10 years ago, introduced a new “old song” entitled “Little Tommy Murphy,” with O'Connor singing and Horne at the piano.

By the Assoclated Press | INDIANAPOLIS, March 5—George R. Dale, militant editor and mayor of Muncie, and several police officials of | Muncie and Anderson were arrested to- | day on indictments charging liquor-law violations. They were returned here | sterday by a Federal grand jury. Frank Massey, Muncie police chief, | was arrested shortly after Mayor Dale | had been taken into custody. Both were jailed, and friends began efforts to ar- | range their release on $10,000 bonds. Police Commissioner Fred Ellis and five The grand fury returned two liquor conspiracy indictments. one of which accused 28 Madison County persons and the other naming 13 Delaware County citizens. Dale is accused of having arranged with Chief Massey for the transporia- tion of liquor from Muncie to Indianap- olis on June 1, 1930, & short time prior to the Democratic State convention. Several other overt acts, Federal officers seid, are charged against the Muncic mayor. 1 i Dale gained nation-wide attention | several years ago when he was con- victed of contempt of court because of | articles published in his weekly news papers, the Post-Democrat, in which he criticized Circuit Judge Clarence W. Dearth. Dale had charged that the Ku Klux Klan controlled the court| and officials of Delaware County. When Dale’s 90-day sentence was affirmed by the Indiana Supreme Court the justice who wrote the opinion held that the | editor’s offer to prove his charges was | no defense. Sentence Commuted. The case was carried to the United States Supreme Court. The high court refused to review it but the penal farm sentence imposed on Daie was com- mutted by Ed Jackson, then governor. Chief Massey is acccused, among other things, of having promised pro- tection to three Muncie bootleggers if TWO CARS RUN WILD, DRIVERS LOSE CONTROL Two sutomobfles ran wild last night after their drivers had lost control, one of the machines coming to s stop in the grounds at Children’s Hospital and another one coming to a standstill after running over a lawn and into a porch of a private residence in Northeast ‘Washington. William F. Galliher, 32, a chief petty | officer attached to the Naval Air Sta- tion, the driver of one of the machines, was charged at No. 5 precinct with reckless driving when his automobile ran into the porch of Oliver Jones in the 1300 block of Kearney street north- east Police of No. 2 precinct were seeking a woman driver whose car last night hit_another machine parked in front of Children’s Hospital, knocked down a tree and plunged through a hedge be- fore coming to a stop on the hospital grounds. Police reported the woman had been taken from the scene in a taxicab. " PLANT NOW | A. L. Bowen, Irvin Bowen, J. S. Boyd, | Thomas W. Brahany. Selig C. Brez, Lou | Brown, Col. Thad H.
