MOTHER SEEKS TO SAVE LIVES IN HAZINGS Own Son Taken: Dedicates Rest of Days to Abolishing •Rough Weeks.’ STOPPED AT INDIANA U. Youth Was True to School Until Death: Wouldn't Approve Probe. BY ARCH STEINEL (Copyright, 1323, by Indianapolis TimrM Out of an empty room at 2053 j Ashland avenue where death's fingers lingered long before taking a youth, comes the spirit of a mother to save other boys in Indiana from the college fraternity hazing that she says resulted in her own boy’s passing on. The mother. Mrs. George Stein- ! metz, has pledged herself to a life of educating parents and other ; youths of the end that may come j from heedless, thought less hazing in i “rough weeks” in state universities. j Her son, George ‘Bud’ Steinmetz ; .Jr., died May 2 from complications ; following a fraternity initiation dur- j ing "rough week” at the Indiana j university in February, 1928. Notebook Details ‘‘Hell” A notebook detailing hour by hour the inquisition her son underwent, and a paddle with inked names on it in the empty room are Mrs. Steinmetz’ battle gerdons to abolish university torture of frat neophytes. T have forgiven the boys who did it. "But the system that permits such cruelties—no! "I am going to spend my life trying to prevent a repetition of what happened to my Buddy-boy,” the mother says as she sits in a chair with the footstool her boy made at her feet and the notebook in her hand. This notebook, in her boy's handwriting, terms "rough week”—hell! "When Bud left Shortridge in 1926 and went to Indiana he wanted to .join a fraternity. My husband and j ' I asked him to wait a while. We j do not object to fraternities, but we wanted him to know what he was doing. ‘He was pledged to the Delta Chi's. He was a good student. He was planning to be an architect, to build homes, and buildings.” Hazed More Than Year Ago She eyed the electric lamp, the footstool, her Bud had made her. Outside birds chirped and sang from bird houses he had carved. "It was in February and the first of March of 1928 that he was hazed during ‘Rough week.’ He was sent j after rats—rats which he caught I with his bare hands—- • His health was weakened by lack j of sleep, heavy cathartics, and he caught cold. ‘ They made him count the windows in a courthouse of a neighboring county seat. " Rough week' ended and two weeks later he came home. "He was like a plant that had wilted away. The paddlings, the exposure— "He never went back to school. His weight dropped. "When he entered the university he weighed 148 pounds, but before his death, disease—his weakened lungs—had wasted him to but seventy pounds, just skin and bones.” “Bud was true, loyal to the last, to his fraternity and the upperclassmen who hazed him. As he grew worse we asked him who they were—he wouldn't tell us.” Loyal to the End "My husband and I wanted to go to university officials then and tell them of conditions, but Bud wouldn't have it. He didn't blame them. "Then he died "Would you like to see his room? I'm keeping it just as it always was, for Bud.” The vacant room carried the spirit of boydom. Drawings he had made hung on the walls. A Boy Scout rock chart hung on a side-wall. Near the right of the empty bed hung the paddle and around it tied by only a mother’s hands was a bow of black crepe paper. Mrs. Steinmetz glanced at. the paddle, the paddle that spelled ' initiation." "hazing,” and caused her boy’s death. The inked names on it—some of them boys who had been in her home to be entertained by Budseemed like deep cuts on the yellow wood. Working for Billy "I m leaving it hang there. Bud would want it that way.” she said. "After his death I heard that •Rough week* still was an institution at the university. "I visited officials and they promised it would be stopped. They say it is stopped now—" A door opened and an 11-year-old bov in knickers entered the house. •This is Billy—the only one that I have got left now—now that Bud’s passed on. __ ••It’s for Billy—for all the Billys growing up in the world—that I m going on, trying to stop the ‘Rough week.’ ** College Given $150,000 EVANSVILLE, Ind., June 12.

White, border customs agent, held here on a manslaughter charge in connection with the death of Henry Virkula, Big Falls confectioner. State and county officials agreed today with Henry L. Roberts, treasury department special agent, that the slaying of Henry Virkula by Customs Agent Emmett J. White was “wholly unjustified and unwarranted.” But they blamed the "system,” rather than White, for the tragedy which occurred along a lonely wooded road as Virkula. a confectioner of Big Falls, drove homeward from here with his wife and two small children. "The citizens here have been subjected to innumerable indignities at the hands of enforcement officers,” declared David Hurlburt, Koochiching county, state’s attorney.

DEATH CLAIMS W. D, BOYCE Former Times Publisher Passes in Chicago. W. D. Boyce, 70, former owner of the Indiana Daily Times, the man who brought the Boy Scout movement to America from England, died Tuesday night at his Chicago home of pneumonia. Mr. Boyce was widely known in Indianapolis, having taken an active part in business and civic affairs here while publisher of The Times, although he maintained his residence in Chicago. He invested heavily in Indianapolis real estate. Mr. Boyce changed the name of the paper to The Indiana Daily Times after he had purchased it as the Indianapolis Sun from Rudolph Leeds in 1912. He had been associated with Leeds in the Sun. He retained sole ownership of the paper until six years ago, when he sold it to the Scripps-Howard interests. From a lowly beginning, Mr. Boyce became a millionaire publisher, most of his fortune being built on the Saturday Blade and Chicago Ledger, a weekly newspaper and magazine with huge national circulations. Os late years he has published "Movie Romances” and “Extra Money.” He traveled extensively, hunted big game on frequent forays into far corners of the earth and wrote entertainingly of his adventures. The widow and two daughters survive him. A son, Ben Boyce, died a few months ago. N. Y. U. HONORS STIMSON Seccretary of State Is Given Doctor of Laws Degree. Bu United Press NEW YORK.

SNARL IN NEW INDIANA LAW FREESKILLER Judge Assails Author of Bill, Declaring Prison Is Place for Him. SLAYER IS REARRESTED Clay County Jurist Says Statute So Tangled as to Be Worthless. BY BEN STERN Times Staff Correspondent BRAZIL, Ind., June 12.—Legal entanglements growing out of the “life and death” emergency statute enacted by the'l929 Indiana general assembly today culminated in the dismissal of John Van Hook of Terre Haute, deputy constable, on a first degree murder charge, in connection with the slaying of Austin Sweet. Terre Haute attorney. Under the debated amendment, life imprisonment is provided in cases where the victim is wounded in commission of burglary, rape, banditry and highway robbery; the eeath penalty is mandatory when the victim is killed; and ten to twenty-five years’ imprisonment is provided for burglary and highway robbery. In scorching phrases, Judge Thomas W. Hutchinson of the Clay circuit court, where the act met its first test, recommended indictment and imprisonment for six months of Senator Lee Hartzell (Rep., Ft. Wayne) author of the bill. Judge Is Wrathy After listening to a three-hour debate by opposing counsel in the Van Hook case Tuesday, Judge Hutchinson took the matter under advisement, and this morning announced his decision. In his opinion, the jury must find the defendant guilty of the offense defined under the indictment and no lesser offense. “In the brief time I have had to form my opinion, I believe the author of this amendment has messed up the law of homicide in Indiana frightfully, and the results may be far reaching,” Judge Hutchinson said. "The new section will enure to the benefit of criminals and criminal lawyers alone. I am apprehensive as to what may happen to this tidbit amendment and for the apparently inherent chauvinism in most of our courts, and the enactment of this new section may be a calamity. Author Is Flayed "Science tells us that our thinking is done by about nine trillion nerve cells in the grey matter of the brain. Evidently about eight trillion of the author’s ‘think’ cells were not in working order at the time he drafted this bill. However, we have the consolation, if it be any, that oyr criminal procedure is not much worse than it was 1,000 thousand years ago.” Kenneth C. Miller, prosecutor of Clay county, recommended dismissal of the trial this morning, after a lengthy conference of state counsel. “This prosecution was instituted and the indictment in this cause was found upon the theory that the charge incorporated in said indictment was a charge of first degree murder and necessarily incorporated within the said charges a valid charge of murder in the second degree and a valid charge of manslaughter, Miller said. “And since the legal proposition has arisen in this cause, the state asks that the cause be dismissed.” Van Hook’s counsel vigorously protested. Following Hutchinson’s decision Van Hook was released by the sheriff of Clay county, but immediately was rearrested by a deputy sheriff from Vigo county on a charge of first degree murder. He will be bound over to the Vigo grand jury, where he probably wall be reindicted for first and seconddegree murder and manslaughter. Defense counsel today had not decided whether they again would appeal for a change of venue from Vigo county to Clay county.

BROOKHART URGES THIRD PARTY IN FARM RELIEF ROW Threat to Organize New Political Group If Bounty Plan Is Not Carried Hurled by lowa Senator; Compromise Bill to Pass. By United Press . .... . ~ WASHINGTON, June 12.—A threat to organize a third party if the debenture provision of the farm relief bill fails of enactment was raised in the senate today by Senator Smith W. Brookhart (Rep.. la ). Brookhart, one of President Hoover's strongest supporters during the campaign, proposed that the debenture be included in the tariff bill if eliminated from the farm bill, and that to insure its sucess progressive candidates immediately should be put up in every congressional district. Leaders of both political parties were speculating today on the extent of the breach between President Hoover and his leading campaigner, Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, as a result of Borah's opposition to the President on the debenture feature of the farm relief bill. Borah made his leading speech this week in advocacy of the debenture provision despite the fact Hoover has fought it vigorously. He contended the Republican party vrould not live up to its campaign promise unless

it enacted the bounty plan. In their speculations, how’ever, politicians took into account Borah’s theory of government under which he feels at liberty to vote according to his conscience in spite of party policies. Administration leaders now' predict the debentureless farm bill will be made a law by Saturday. In the senate w'here the debenture was originated and twice adopted, rumblings of discord were heard immediately in protest of the agreement wffiich President Herbert Hoover reached Tuesday night with his congressional leaders at the White House. The much-buffeted bill, minus the debenture feature, having been rejected by the senate late Tuesday, 46 to 43. was sent to the house at noon today with formal announcement that the senate had refused to agree. The house will vote directly on the debenture plan Thursday. Bickering between the senate and the house apparently w r as settled at a White House conference Tuesday night where President Herbert Hoover demanded that leaders of both houses quit arguing and give him a farm bill. Under this admonition house leaders said they would agree to give the senate the vote it wants on the debenture plan. They are confident the house will defeat the debenture. Receiving this assurance of a vote, the senate leaders said that regardless of whether the house eliminated the debenture feature from the bill there would be no further argument. The senate will adopt the bill without the debenture and send it to the President for signature w'hich will make it a law. The agreement would make it appear the bill speedily will be passed without the debenture clause, and providing for a federal farm board with a $500,000,000 revolving fund to stabilize farm prices as well as it can.

Lucky House Four Families Have Gone to Fortunes From Home of Derby Winner.

IF with a portion of his $84,780 return on a $1 investment in a British derby sweepstakes ticket Arthur Court moves his family to more pretentious quarters, to w r hom will, fall the next link in a chain of good fortune that encircles a ten-room farmhouse in New Augusta, northwest of Indianapolis? Pondering that, Emsley W. Johnson, attorney and member of the board of public works, who has w'atched a procession of four families emerge from the house richer than when they first crossed its threshold, says he is not certain that he’ll let chance determine the next recipient of its favors. Johnson owns the house. “I may move in myself,” he said. "But I don’t know whether it’s a large family or a horseshoe over the door that tempts fortune out there.” B b a MORE than thirty-five years ago neighbors built the present structure for Mrs. Phoebe Smelzer and her family after the original house burned. Later it was sold to David Brcw'rv, and his children disposed of it to Columbus Jones. Jones, a railroad man. with a large family, lived two years in the house before oil was found on western lands belonging to him, and he sold it to Johnson. William Berry was next in line, and his wife inherited an eightyacre farm upstate. Then Thomas O’Mahlie moved into the house and in two years an estate of more than $20,000 descended upon him. Finally Court became a tenant, and under the spell of the house, the horseshoe, or whatever lucky omen the place possesses, he purchased a ticket in the derby sweepstakes. "I suppose Court will be moving now,” Johnson declared. “So I guess I’ll have to advertise.” “For rent; fame and fortune.”

Superior Judge Dunlavy Sustains Demurrer to Keane Suit. RULED CONSTITUTIONAL Injunction Was Sought to Prevent Election Under New Plan. The city manager law was j declared constitutional today, by Superior Judge William 0. Dunlavy. The judge delivered the opinion in sustaining the demurrer of the Indianapolis city manager forces to the suit of Clifford H. Keane, associate of George V. Coffin, Republican city chairman. Keane sought an injunction to prohibit City Clerk William A. Boyce Jr., William H. Remy and Reginald Sullivan, city election commissioners, from holding the election to name the new city commission under the manager form Nov. 5. Keane, represented by Attorney Clinton H. Givan, another Coffin organization man, is expected to immediately appeal to state supreme court. Coffin Group to Appeal Attorney Clinton H. Givan, another Coffin organization man, an- | nounced he will immediately appeal to state supreme court not only from today's decision but that of Judge Dunlavy several weeks ago denying a temporary injunction. In the first case Keane sought an injunction against Boyce, Ira M. Holmes and Carl E. Wood, election commissioners under the federal form of government. He filed the second suit after the new election commission under the manager form had been named. Judge Dunlavy ruled in favor of the manager forces in each question raised by Givan which he took up in his opinion. Givan had attacked the manager law as unconstitutional upon thirty grounds. Not a Special Law In his fifteen-page opinion Judge Dunlavy ruled that the city manager law is not local or special for Indianapolis, that it is not unconstitutional because it prohibits city manager form officials from actively participating in politics because law now prohibits policemen and firemen from so doing. Dunlavy held that the commission can choose a city manager from another city, provided he becomes a resident of Indianapolis the day he takes office. He held all elections under the , manager form must be nonpartisan. Givan's contention that the 1927 election in which citizens adopted the manager form by a majority of five to one was illegal, and must be held over was valueless. He said such a question should have been raised before the election and that now that the election has been held and citizens have expressed themselves, question as to legality of the preliminary steps to the election is moot. Time to Perfect Law Dunlavy clarified the right of Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin to name one member of the new election commission. The judge closed with this declaration: “Perfection is never found in the beginning. It matters little whether it is in the writing of anew and important law, as this one is, or in the manufacture of an atuomobile, an airplane or a railroad engine, it takes time to perfect a real good law or a real good machine. It will take time to perfect this law if it is held constitutional by supreme court.” HALLS-MILLS KILLING ‘WITNESS' GETS JAIL Sentenced to Six Years; Story Believed False.
