NAVY DAY I | Indianapolis, Oct. 27. —(U.R) — | Indiana today joined with the | remainder of the nation in ob- | servance of Navy Day. | A proclamation issued by Gov. | Harry G. Leslie, designating to- | day as Navy Day in the state, i read as follows: i "The navy has ever been the | front line defense against for- | eign aggression. Its traditions | are those ot the fighting man I whose patriotism impels him I to deeds of heroism and personj al sacrifice. The records of the navy, are replete with tales of ■ devotion to duty in the face of ! tremendous odds. From frozen i poles to sunny isles of tropic | seas, the Stars and Stripes are | the symbol of liberty and hu- | man happiness. On every sea ; and in every clime our navy has carried the doctrine of | equal rights for all “Oct. 27 is the birthday of j | Theodore Roosevelt, one of the ; j navy’s staunchest supporters. I It is also set aside as Navy i Day "Wherefore, I, Harry G. Lesi lie, by virtue of the authority | vested in me as Governor of j j the State of Indiana, proclaim j | Oct. 27 as Navy Day and urge j | its proper observance by dis- j | play of national colors and suit- > i able exercises iu all public ’ ' schools.” t « RULES AGAINST BANDITAPPEAL State Supreme Court Upholds Conviction in Jay County Circuit Court Indianapolis. Oct. 27. — (U.R) — Legality of forcing suspects to don masks and re-enact crimes in attempts to identify them with felonies was upheld in a ruling yesterday by the Indiana supreme court. The decision was written by Judge Walter E. Treanor in upholding the conviction of Charles O. Ross in Jay circuit court on bank banditry charges. Ross appealed to the supreme I court on the contention that fore ing him to wear a handkerchief as a mask and dress as one of the bank bandits had amounted to self incrimination. He was convicted, he charged, mostly upon the testimony of Miss Blanche Morrical, bank employe, who had identified him while wearing the mask. He pointed out that Miss Morrical previously had identified another suspect as the bank robber. "We do not think ttiat the rule against compulsory self incrimination properly applies to pre trial efforts to identify a suspect as the probable perpetrator of a crime, even though these efforts involved physical examination or observation of the suspect against his will," Treanor's opinion read. LESLIE GIVES LOAN APPROVAL Governor Approves Relief Loan of $250,000 to St. Joseph County Indianapolis, Oct. 27. — (U.R) Hopes ofl heavily burdened counties for relief loans from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation were materially brighter today as the result of Gov. Harry G. Leslie’s approval of a loan to St. Joseph county. The South Bend loan will be the first from the R. F. C. for relief in the state. In addition, it will set a precedent on handling of poor relief funds in Indiana. Governor Leslie granted his approval on condition that a committee named by himself, will supervise' distribution ot the funds. The governor demanded this provision in line with his policy of refusing other loans because he said he was not convinced the money would be spent wisely. Other counties which nhow that their local resources have been exhausted and which are unable to adequately provide for their indigent probably will obtain the governor’s approval of similar loans, it was pointed out, although prior CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT

INDIANA IS IN SPOTLIGHT OF POLITICIANS jlloover Prepares Invasion i of Middlewest; Roosevelt In New England HOOVER, RITCHIE AT INDIANAPOLIS (By the United Press) Two crucial battlegrounds of the . political campaign were in the spotlighit today as President Hoover I prepared for a fourth invasion of I the doubtful middle west and form >er Governor Alfred E. Smith advanced into New England where Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt will center his next offensive. Political activities, however, | stretched to Manila in the Philip- ‘ pine Islands, 6,000 miles away, as both parties geared for their final drives of the national campaign. Governor-General Theodore Roosevelt, son of the late President, ‘whose birthday is today, will make an overseas broadcast for the Re- ‘ publican national ticket. I Across the Mississippi river the battle was intensified as another ' piugil.-ssive Republican senator j Cutting of New Mexico, broke from party ranks. In a speech at Denver, Colo., last night he called on “all who believe that the common people of America have a right to share in the benefits ot our civilization” to vote for the Democratic 'nominee for President. President Hoover’s dramatic personal campaign will become more gruelling with the start of his trip |to Indianapolis today. | He plans a series of back platform speeches en route, and faces similar speech making on his trip to New York next Monday. Indianapolis tomorrow will be deluged witji political color. Governor Albert Ritchie of Maryland will be appealing for Democratic sup- • port at one end of the city, while the President speaks in the other. I Governor Smith will speak in Providence, R. 1., and Boston. Mass., (today. He carried both states as the Democratic presidential nominee in 1928. Republicans claim them this year. Monday night Governor Roosevelt will speak in BosIton, and possibly the same day in Portland, Me. Secretary of Treasury Mills continued his attack on the Democratic opposition at Toledo, Ohio, last night. He referred to some of the farm aid, tariff adjustment and economy proposals of Roosevelt as only “gittering promises.” At Philadelphia Norman Thomas, ’ the Socialist candidate for President predicted that Roosevelt would "win by a landslide if the election should take place tomorrow." Democratic national headquarters in New York cancelled nation-wide radio hookups that had been reserved for speeches by former Governor Alfred E. Smith at Bluffalo [on Saturday and atl Brooklyn next Tuesday. A hookup was retained, however, for his speech at Boston tonight. Mrs. Franklin D.
