If you want a cigar, cigarette or package of scafarlati, you must buy it from the government. The French tobacco business is bad, because the government, trusting to monopoly, hasn't done any advertising.

Lacking the enthusiasm that generally accompanies a state political convention during presidential years, the convention yesterday, in an off-year, made up for the lark of old-time flre-eatlng enthusiasm by Its harmony and Interest In selection of a strong ticket. Cheers burst forth frequently during the speeches and during gains made by favorite candidates during the balloting. The convention hall doors were thrown open at 9 o'clock and a long line of persons who had been waiting for some time rushed for the choice 'seats in the hall.

The assembly room In Tomllnson hall filled quickly, and a band concert entertained the huge crowd until 10 o'clock, when Chairman Walb officially called the convention to order. Entry of Senators Watson and Robinson and Governor Jackson called for cheers from the crowd and each was given an ovation. The Rev. Alfred II.

BEVERIDGE SPEAKS FOR ENDOWMENT Special to The Indianapolis Star. NEW YORK, May 27. A campaign for a $1,000,000 endowment fund lo be devoted to historical research was opened tonight by the American Historical Association at a dinner given in behalf of the- association at the University Club by Charles Evans Hughes, Dwight W.

Morrow of J. H. Morgan and Prof. Evarts B. Greene of Columbia university.

Mr. Morrow presided. Deploring the lack of interest shown by the American people in the work of the historian, Albert J. Beveridge, principal speaker, declared that the welfare and progress of the nation are closely bound up with an accurate knowledge of history and that no legislation In Congress or' the Legislatures of the several states can be wise or even intelligent without the proper historical background. "European statesmen, as a matter of skill, are able to outdo us any time because of their superior knowledge of history," Mr.

Beveridge said. In addition to the fact he was the speaker of the evening the presence of Ex-Senator Beveridge was particularly desired because he is Chairman of the national committee. "There Is not a single question affecting the public Interest which is before Us today that can be handled wisely, or even understood," he added, "without a thorough and accurate knowledge of the history of that question and of other questions associated with It." i Because of lack of financial means, he declared, historians find it difficult to gather the necessary material from first and unimpeachable sources and it is up to the American people to provide them with the' opportunities they lack for their work. The income from the proposed JLOOO.OOO fund, he explained, will be devoted to solving this problem. LIVES OF 63 SAVED BY MINE FOREMAN SCRAN'TON.

May 27. p) filxty-three men trapped In the eleven-foot vein of Mt. Lookout colliery of the Temple Anthracite Coal Company at Wyoming, near here, were saved from death of suffocation today by the quick wit and courage of Thomas Hlslop, assistant mine foreman. The fire broke out in the timbering about, twenty feet from the mouth of the shaft. Hlslop was outside and immediately went below.

His son Robert, employed at th4 foot of the shaft, was fighting the blaze when the father ran through the flames to give warning. The son followed tand aided In the rescue. Realizing that it would take -only a matter of minutes to fill the entire workings with the suffocating smoke, Hislop and his son battled their way through until they reached the doors leading from the main tunnel to the chambers. They threw open these doors, diverting the air current and causing it to carry the smoke back to the shaft. MOD RNISTSWIN PRESBYTERIAN W1DDERATDR HE POLAR EXPEDITION PICTURES APPEAR IN THE STAR TODAY Photographs of Byrd and Norge Preparations Left Kings Bay May 9.

Pictures from Kings nay, Spitsbergen, relating to preparations for the historic flights of Commander Richard E. Byrd and the Amundsen-Ellsworth-Noblle are printed on other pages of The Star this morning. The Star Is among the first papers in the interior United States to print these pictures. It has the exclusive publication in Indianapolis of the pictorial record of the epochal arctic flights. RECORD FOR SPEED.

The speed with which the pictures were brought to the United States establishes a new record in dispatching mail from Spltzbergen to this country. The pictures were taken In the few days prior to Sunday, May 0, the day on which Commander Byrd made his flight to the pole. Leaving Kings Bay on May 0, they made the first leg of the Journey In a small motor ship. From Kings Bay to Tromso, Norway, was a trip of more than 600 miles, across stretch of the Arctic ocean. The small bor.t which carried them passed through severe weather, which made It doubtful at one time whether they would ever reach Norway, LOADED ON PLANE.

From Tromso, the pictures traveled by rail to Mnlmo, Sweden. There they were loaded on an airplane which flew with them to Ixn-don, stopping em, route In Holland and elsewhere on the continent. Once In England they were rushed by automobile to the steamship Olympic for the traiw-Atlantle trip. They arrived in New York Tuesday night. They are printed in The Star on the nineteenth day after they were dispatched from Spltrbergen.

Declares That Success Polar Flight Was Due to Sun Compass. -f 01 (Copyright, J926, ly the New York Times Company and the St. Lovis Post-Dispatch.) Special Cable to the New York Times. GRAVESEND, England, May 27. Lieutenant Commander Byrd, the first to fly to the north pole, arrived at Gravesend aboard the Chantier at 10 o'clock tonight.

As soon as the vessel hove to Commander Byrd was interviewed in his cabin. He said he stayed around the north pole for fourteen minutes before beginning the return Journey. In view of the comments that have been made about the difficulty of taking accurate observations without a long stay at one spot, his particular attention was drawn to this point. He replied "It is not necessary, with modern aviation and navigation instruments, to stay at one spot for several hours in order to locate your position, espc- daily when the sun is shining and the weather conditions are favorable." DESIRABLE METHODS. Commander Byrd' described his methods of faking a continuous line of observation, and explained how he used the sun compass in order to keep an accurate check on his position.

"I couldn't have hit the pole with an ordinary, compass 'alone before I made this trip because I did not know the amount of variation," he continued, "and even now it would be very difficult, but as I now know the variation from experience, I could get very close to it by compass alone. "We were very fortunate in having the sun all the way, with the result that we could use the sun compass continuously and, as this is perfectly steady, I could always keep track of my position. When we had located the pole we flew a little distance beyond and then we flew around In 'i circle over the pole. There was no open water at the pole. "I had never doubted that Admiral Peary reached the pole and now that I've been there myself, I srrf more confirmed than ever in my opinion, as I found conditions there were as he described them." The commander had some Interesting statements to make on the weather conditions experienced in his flight to the pole and back.

He said the visibility at from 1,000 to 4.000 feet extended for from 100 to 150 miles. SEES 100,000 SQUARE MILES. "We could always see all over the circle within a radius of sixty miles and we saw from the airplane during our flight at leiist one hundred thousand square miles of Polar sea. On a conservative estimate we covered ten thousand square m)les of the unexplored regions. We saw no life anywhere.

The' temperature at the pole was Just zero, but the average of the flight was from 6 to 7 degrees below zero." Commander Byrd. was very anxious to give full credit to the arduous and unremitting work of his volunteer crew of army, navy and merchant marine office and the men who worked until they dropped in preparing the ground for his Fokker plane to take off.

A. M. Glossbrenner Protests Against Move to City Council Head. Opposition to the daylight saving ordinance, which will be Introduced at a special meeting of the city Council, tonight, was voiced yesterday by A. M.

Glossbrenner, in a letter i to Boynton J. Moore, president ofc. the Council. Mr. Glossbrenner wrote that he believed public sentiment, and particularly manufacturing Industries, were opposed to daylight saving.

He termed It an "Inconvenience," causing "confusion and general disturbance." The letter follows "In ylr-w of the special meeting of the city Council, to be held on Friday evening, I believe you will appreciate receiving some Information regarding the scheme known as daylight saving. Accordingly, I Inclose four articles that have appeared in my magazine, the Shield, upon this subject, which I hope you will find time to read before the city Council acts upon the proposed ordinance. "This printed matter will serve to rive vnn a hrtpf Mtorv of the several attempts made in Indianapolis in recent years to restore the wartime measure ofthe so-called daylight saving. I in vite your attention especially to the exhibit marked 'Stick to standard time In This article I prepared as a protest of the manufacturing Industries of Indianapolis in April, 1922, when the matter was up before the city Council, and I consider It Just as applicable today to our city Interests. "Daylight saving was a national wartime sacrifice to increase food production and save fuel.

It was cheerfully endured as a patriotic duty during the world war and the 111 effects were minimised by the fact thaW't was applied to the whole country. Since the war emergency has passed, the so-called daylight saving act was repealed by more than a two-thirds vote by both houses of Congress, overriding the veto of President Wilson, as a result of the nation-wide demand made from the agricultural and manufacturing Interests. "The war Is over now and the Inconvenience of daylight saving Is no longer necessary, to say nothing of the confusion and general disturbance which It will cause when adopted only In localities, in deference to public sentiment, the states of Delaware, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Connecticut all have enacted laws forbidding the unwise time tinkering known as daylight saving.

Artman, member of the public service commission, were the highlights of the Republican state convention In Tomllnson hall yesterday. Even though there were no fights In the convention on platform principles and the contests were not for major nominations, the biennial gathering was keenly alive with party spirit and was witnessed by crowded galleries. OKFICIAI.8 APPLAUDED. Enthusiasm ran high when opportunities came for the delegates and assembled Republicans to express themselves for Senators James E. Watson and Arthur R.

Robinson. Mention of President Coolirtge by Senator Robinson brought another burst uf enthusiasm. Governor Jackson was applauded when references were made to the financial record of thu state administration and cheering became riotous whenever blow was directed at the League of Nations. MAKES RECORD SPEED. The convention wss completed record time.

Instead of two days the G. O. P. completed Its entire program In eight hours. The speaking by Senator Robinson as keynoter and temporary chairman, Governor Jackson as permanent chairman and Senator Watson was brief when compared to the oratory In conventions of years past.

The reading of the platform by Arthur K. Remmel of Fort Wayne, chairman of the resolutions committee, was taken as a matter of course, and no attempts were made to change the document prepared Wednesday night. Northern Indiana carried off three of the five for state offices. The' three scores made by northern Indiana were the nominations of Mrs. Grace Banta Urbahns of Valparaiso, unopposed, for treasurer of state; Charles F.

Miller of Goshen, for state superintendent of public Instruction, and Charles L. Hlederwdf of Fort Wayne for clerk of the Supreme and Appellate courts. FOIGHT BY TRUSTEES.

El-cock of Bryan, when an airplane In which they were en rout to the 600-mile automobile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, skimmed to the ground at Huntington, ended when they learned the pilot had stopped to get a pair of pajamas at his home. The pilot, Russell A. Hosier, who is employed by the Woodson Engineering Company, Bryan, decided when nearlng his home town that, since he was to remain here for the race, he had better stop and get some clean clothing. He landed near his home and surprised his relatives. Mr.

OP) The State Bank of Winfield was robbed thts afternoon by three bandits who locked officials In a vault, scooped up about $2fl. 000 in currency and an unknown amount of bends and escaped In a motor car. The' robbers are believed to be the same Ljind that yesterday held up the Montgomery National bank of Cherryvale, taking In cash and securities.

Gentlemen of Wall street, who made up their minds that the usual "summer slump" was coming and sold United States values short, are now scrambling around "covering." Oils go up, rails go up, automobiles go up. It seems hard to make a mistake unless you sell short. Never gamble or speculate, you can't make it pay. But If you have money to invest, invest it in the United States. You may hear bad news of some European bonds soon.

Charles E. Russell, city editor of 'the Herald in the days of James Gordon Bennett, a firsti class newspaper man with harmless ideas about government, socialism, is not allowed to land in England. Russell ran for Governor of New York as a Socialist, but it Isn't for socialism that England excludes him. R8seH's articles on India and Egypt have. -been bitter against the British government.

It would have been wiser to let Russell land, and see for himself how the British have managed with 100,000 men in India to keep 300,000,000 Asiatics under their thumb. He would also observe that the British have stopped the custom of burning widows alive with the dead bodies of their husbands in India, and the other unpleasant Hindoo habit of marrying girls 8 to 9 years old, or even younger, to men past fifty. Sweet reasonableness would have done more with Russell than keeping him out. Poor Abd-El-Krim, hunted over the sands of Africa with his plucky comrades, French bombs and quick-firing guns sending death through the air, gives up after a courageous fight. And1 that strengthens the French government and calls forth talk of "peace with honor." Nothing pleases a people or strengthens monarchy or republic so much as news of victory over another country.

That's why so many wars have been started. Riley, president of a Pennsylvania bank, says too many laws burden the nation. They do, and It would be still worse if the nation, hadn't formed a habit of deciding for itself which particular laws to obey. Within a short tim? 4,000 new laws have been offered by different legislative bodies in the United States. If somebody could invent one law that would compel obedience to the old Ten Commandments that would be Prohibitionists plan to run an independent Republican candidate for senator in New York state.

Gifford Pinchot probably will run as an independent dry Republican in Pennsylvania. The wet and dry issue is evidently to become important in poliitcs from now until 1928. New York's- dry nomination is based upon the fact that Senator Wadsworth is supposed to be wet. Politicians who ought to know say that any independent would have a poor chance against Senator Wadsworth. Governor Pln-chot's chances in Pennsylvania would bef much better.

The car was driven by Mrs. Edna E.

In addition to the fractured skull, many other injuries were sustained tn the wild plunge of his car on the north turn of the Speedway. HAD COMPLETED LAP. Jones had completed his first qualifying lap at a speed of 105.67 miles an hour and was speeding around the north turn 'at a speed estimated to have been slightly more than one hundred miles when his machine skidded and went out of control.

Riding high around the turn, the machine slipped down to the Inside retaining wall when it skidded, the 'resulting crash smashing the left front wheel arid causing Jones to lose control completely. Still traveling at 'terrific speed, the machine bounded back from the retaining wall and turned completely over, skidding and' twisting Its way across the track until It crashed Into the outside wall.
