DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT MONDAY, JUNE 1, 1931.

SPEEDWAY RACE IS PROTESTED Indianapolis, June I.— (U.R) —! Louie Schneider's victory in the 500-mile auto race held Saturday was being contested today by Harry Hartz, owner of the Duesenberg Special which Fred Framepiloted to second place. Schneider’s time was 44 seconds faster than Frame's, according to officials' announcement immediately after the race. In addition to Hartz’ protest, Louis Meyer contended that his Jadson Special, driven by Myron Stevens, finished third instead of Ralph Hepburn. Speedway authorities said that the two protests would be considered today when a recheck of tile times made by each driver, as recorded on the automatic timer, would be made. They said they did not expect the recheck to alter the original positions. Both Hartz and Meyer based their protests on alleged failure of drivers to hold their positions while the yellow warning flag was being displayed during a light rain. Although they did not contend that any pilots had passed others, they alleged that the autos had bunched up, holding relative positions, but at • loser distances. Hepburn beat Stevens to the finish line by 17 seconds, according to times announced Saturday. Meyer, whose own mount was disabled early in the contest, drove Stevens.’ auto a large part of the race. Russell Snowberger, who finished fifth, was 10 seconds behind Stevens. * ■ Indianapolis, June 1. — <U.R> — Billy Arnold will be forced to remain in a hospital two months as tlie result of injuries he suffered in the 500-mile auto race here Saturday when his machine plunged over "the southeast wall and burned.

The new corporation will be known as United Air Lines. Its general offices will be in Chicago. I’. 'G. Johnson will be president. . He recently was elected president of National Air Transport and Varney Air Lines and previously was president of the various Boeing companies. Each of the four lines now becomes, Rentschler said, a division of one big company with branches in practically all parts of the country ami all operated from one central office. < United Air Lincs.

LOCAL COUPLE OBSERVES FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) nlversary several years ago, were used at the places of the honored couples.

Members of the degree chib and others were seated at the speaker's table. Favors Education In outlining the program carried on by tlie Knights of Columbus in tlie interest of education, Mr. Carmody staled that tlie order had established a chair of American History in tlie Catholic University of America, had appropriated $500,000 for endowing 50 post graduate scholarships in .Catholic universities and had aided in sending boys to college. In 1926 the order founded the department of boy's guidance at the university of Notre Dame and up to the present time 85 young men have been graduated from this department and are now serving communities as playground directors and leaders of young manhood. Touching on the order’s service during the World War Mr. Carmody stated, “the soldiers returning from France have told of it better than 1 could tell the twice told tale.” In the Civil War the Catholic Sisterhood, before the time of Red Cross, performed their acts of mercy and any soldier will voucli for their deeds of mercy and acts of heroism, the supreme knight stated. Service Since War Tlie greatest chapter in our educational program has been written since the World War, Mr. Carmody stated. Following the Armistice, tlie K of C's were left with 12,000,000 of a $14,000,000 fund raised by popular subscriptions for war service and as trustees of tliis money, which could not lie returned to tlie donors, we used it in establishing 118 four-year scholarships abroad, 262 free night schools, having an attendance of 300.000 at one ime and in aiding the 48,000 wounded veterans in government hospitals This post war service was carried on for eight years until 1927 when all tlie money was expended and i asure you that trot one cent was spent except in the interest of tlie soldiers and the ex-service man. Mentioning the practical things of the order, the Supreme Knight told of the insurance department operated by the order. The order. Mr. Carmody stated was paying out about $2,000,000 yearly for death claims and since its organization had paid out more than than $28,000,000 to orphans and widows of deceased members. Our insurance department is 127% solvent and it Is rendering a great service to the dependents of the deceased members. Mentioned Mexican Situation Mr. Carmody touched on the Mexican situation and of the war made there against the Catholic church. As a layman's organization the Knights of Columbus investigated conditions there and found that tlie trouble there was given to the American people in a biased manner. A fund of $1,000,000 was spent in obtaining truthful facts and in presenting them before the American people. Mr. Carmody had an audience with President Coolidge and tlie President prevailed upon Dwight Morrow’ to go to Mexico as American Ambassador ami aided greatly tn clearing the •■ituation. Tlie supreme knight emphatically stated that “where the Catholic

church lives and functions Sovietism and Communism cannot exkt." The supreme knight was given a great ovation at the conclusion of his address. Members of Class The Decatur men who were initiated were Carl Klepper, Ed Bosso, Servino Schurger, Arthur Lengerich, Clarence Heimann, Herman Wolpert, Harold Smith. Attended Sunday Mass The Knights of Columbus, candidates and visitors attended mass at 8:30 o'clock at the St. Mary’s Catholic church Sunday morning. The Rev. Father Joseph A. Hennes, delivered an excellent Hermon during the mass. Tile Decatur Council, instituted February 26, 1905, with 47 members, now has a membership of more than 225. Vatican City, June I—(U.R1 —(U.R) —Edward L. Hearn of Boston, director of the Knights of Columbus in Europe, went to the United States emtsrssy this afternoon to protest against tlie closing of Knights of Columbus playgrounds in Rome by Fascist order. “1 am going to demand simple Yankee justice,” he said. “1 have not made an appointment with the ambassador, trusting that some one will receive me.” Meanwhile, strenuous efforts were undertaken to solve the grave crisis between the government and tlie Vatican. The Pope called an extraordinary meeting of tlie college of cardinals, and important conferences were held by government officials. The negotiations wtere understood to be taking a favorable turn and it was believed they might make possible an agreement; between the government and tlie Vatican shortly. Contrary to an earlier impression, the government decided to issue no communique today. Some Italian sources believed a part of the Fascist press might be suppressed immediately so as not to prejudice tlie negotiations. It was too early to predict a complete agreement, but the signs appeared promising. HEATHS OF 19 TO BE PROBED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE« showed several others died ‘‘mysteriously.” Mrs. Summers was accused of causing the four deaths to collect insurance money. Her husband, a nephew and two roomers at her home, were the victims named. They died within the last three years. Four other husbands, a lover, two brothers and a small daughter were among the 15 others who died mysteriously, according to a statement made to prosecutors by Mrs. William Meyers, Mrs. Summers’ stepmother of Effingham, 111. Brooks said he might subpoena Mrs. Meyers to tell her story before the grand jury. He also-indicated that some of the bodies might be exhumed and examined for traces of poisoning. The investigation today had extended over the past 25 years of Mrs. Summers’ life, starting witli tlie death of her first husband, James Lynch., and a three year-old daughter. Names of other persons believed to have been possible victims were found on a page torn from a Bible. Dates of death and ainbunts of insurance carried were listed with tlie names. Tlie list included the names of three of the husbands, of a street peddler who died in 1928; and tlie nephew, Thomas Meyers, who died two weeks ago.
