The victory enambled Philadelphia, to take fifth place, a half a game ahead of Pittsburgh. lefty Gomez and the New York Yankees finally broke the winning streak of the Philadelphia Athletics after it had extended to 17 straight games, 6 to 2.

Live Toad Found in Rock Reno, Nev., — (UP)— Two Elko | prospectors assert that they recently found a living toad imbedded in a standstone slab at the bottom of a s(>> foot shaft in the old Bull Run mining district. The toad was very much alive and was apparently as surprised as his rescuers. Blinking his eyes he hopped from his bed and disappeared in a nearby crevice.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1931.

GRUDGE SCRAP IS SCHEDULED New York, May 27—(UP)—Jimmy McLarnln, the "baby face" bat- ' tier front Vancouver, has an opportunity to avenge one of the worst beating, of his ring career tonight ' when he meets Billy petrolic of Fargo, N, D. tn the ten-round bout at Madison Square Garden. It will mark McClarnin’s first tight since he broke his hand last ] November as Petrolle administered ] him one of the most decisive beatings in his career. That right hand ] is back in shape now McClarnin contends and with it he hopes to derail “The Fargor Express" tonight. As the courageous Irishman re- ( sumes his campaign for the world ( welterweight championship it had to be Petrolle or no one for McLarnin. He could have had Jack , Thompson the champion but Jimmy didn't want any title until he ' proved that he could beat any man 1 who had beaten him. Only three times in the last five ' years have decisions gone against ] Mt Lamin and two of them were de- < isively reversed. Sammy Mandell shaded him in a contest for the 1 lightweight title. Jimmy immediately obtained a return bout and defeated Mandell. Ray Miller beat the 1 ] Irishman at Detroit. He didn’t figh' ] I again until he got a return match I with Miller. He defeated Miller eas- ] ily. The third decision against him ] was chalked up by Petrolle and if Jimmy can avenge that defeat and he is certain he can then he wants ' a shot at Thompson. o STANDINGS NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L.

EMPLOYMENT PROBLEM TO BE SETTLED SOON (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONZ) the Decatur, Indiana, postofflce Keep us advised as to the results that may accrue." The contract for the building here was let to the Anderson Construction Company of Chicago, with the understanding, it is claimed, that the government's order for employment of local labor at prevailing wages, would lie strictly observed. This company sublet the brick and stone contract to Robert Baltes and his father, John Baltes, of Fort Wayne, who brought their workmen witli them. Local brick and stone workmen applied for jobs but were informed, according to their statements, that no additional men were needed. The local scale is $1.35 per hour and later the company holding the contract advertised for local men at 75c and SI.OO per hour. The local men say they are in no way trying to interfere and there have been no threats made but they are insisting upon their rights. Under present conditions they cannot secure work elsewhere because on all public jobs, preference is being given to local men and when they are not given that right here, they are forced out of employment. Anderson & Company, it is reported, also have contracts in Des Moines, lowa, and several other cities and the local difficulty may effect those contracts if the investigation continues. Lew Hammond is president of tiie Decatur branch of tiie Brick Layers and Plasterer's Union. No. 7, of the I. U. It was organized in 1915 when the Bluffton charter was given up and the territory includes Adams and Wells counties. Frank Aurand and Jesse Hurst of the arbitration committee hqve been looking after affairs for the local branch. The bill to force contractors to employ local labor at prevailing wages was introduced in congress by Mr. Hogg of Fort Wayne who is also giving attention to the evident condition here, in which that point is being ignored. Mr. Dynes is expected here today or tomorrow, when steps to further urge the employment of the local men will be taken. A committee from the Decatur Chamber of Commerce is assisting in efforts to straighten out tiie tangle. KIRKLAND GETS 1 TO 10 YEARS IN DRAVES CASE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) of the jurors did not know it, tins verdict specified the one to l()-year sentence. Kirkland, under life sentence since, tiie first trial in February, sobbed when he heard tiie new verdict. He smiled later when he realized its significance. His mother, awaiting in another room, rushed to embrace him. then fainted in ills arras. Spectators cheered. Efforts to restore order failed. During the demonstration. John Weaver rushed at defense Attorney Oscar B. Thiel, struck and almost knocked him down. Weaver is the father of Mrs. Bernice Elser, who attended the party which ended in Arlene's death. She testified for the state. Thiel had attacked her testimony, advancing a theory that she might have struck Arlene through jealousy and caused some of the head injuries Kirkland was accused of inflicting. “You’re a liar," shouted Weaver as he charged. Bailiffs overpowered him. When Hie demonstration was at its height, Bailiff John Hardesty appealed, excited, before tiie bench. “The jury was nil mixed up." he shouted to Judge Crninpacker above the uproar. He said Hugh H? Morrow and Claude Walters, jurors, had told him they became confused over the charges and thought they were sentencing Kirkland to die. Prosecutor John Underwood and his assistants immediately demanded the case lie declared a mistrial. Later they agreed that even if the jurors admitted in court they had erred, probably nothing could be done. "It is a travesty on justice," declared Underwood, who said he now would dismiss charges against four other youths indicted with Kirkland. r -n—win - . - .

I "On the basis of tills, I suppose | we should pin medals on the other , four," he declared angrily. Thiel, Oldham, and John Crumpacker of the defense said the ver i diet was “a great victory" for them. Crumpacker is a son of tiie judge. 1 Oldham's arrest followed closely another sensation when the court 1 was thrown Into un uproar over a ■ report that two of Miss Draves’ 1 brothers were carrying guns. They were searched, tint no guns were found. Judge Crumpacker ordered Kirkland to appear today for sentence. He considered tiie long case as definitely ended. Attorney General James M. Ogden at Indianapolis sent word the verdict must stand. "The jury’s duty was to pass on tiie guilt or innocence of the defendant,” he ruled, “and the verdict must stand regardless of whether they realized what the] punishment would be." Valparaiso, Ind., May 27. (U.R) 1 — Virgil Kirkland, 20-year- >ld Gary athlete, was sentenced today to one to 10 years in the reformatory, for tiie deatli of ills 18-year-old sweetheart, Arlene Draves, during the drinking party to which he escorted her last November. Judge Grant Crumpacker pro-1 nounced the sentence under the ver-. diet of tiie jury which convicted Kirkland last night oi assault ami battery, witli intent to commit rape. Kirkland probably will be taken to the reformatory 'at Pendleton tomorrow. He will become eligible for parole at the end of nine, months. Prosecutor Robert G. Estil of Gary announced that the state would oppose Kirkland's release before the maximum term of his sentence has expired.

Midi., May 27—(UP) — Michigan’s "Red Army of the unemployed"— a ragged, tattered, and j very peaceful “Urniy” about 300 strong—was encamped in the Lansing baseball stadium today, preparing to send a delegation to Gov ernor Wilbur M. Hracker in the state capitol. The "army,' journeyed from Detroit and other points in motor cars arrived last night and spent the eve-1 I ning declaiming against capitalism I in the spacious capital square. Squads of police kept order while ■ thousands of townspeople watched the demonstration, grinning toler-1 antly. The leaders of the “army” were] to go to Governor Bnicker today and present their demand for a $55. ■ 090,000 unemployment Insurance fund. The communists want a dole ' of $25 a week for every unemploy ; ed man. ' After considerable argument with | police, who refused to let the. “Army" bivouac on the Capitol lawn ' they marched to the baseball stadium where the demonstrators huddling in little groups to keep warm slept in tiie stands.
