spectacular because of the fact that he is handicapped by a wooden leg. His leg was amputated because of wounds inflicted when he, Gibberson and other members of the gang were rounded up at Erlanger, Ky. Mason was tried once on the murder charge but a Hamilton county jury disagreed. Sergeant Jones was killed when i he and a fellow officer interrupted a holdup at a bus company garage , in Indianapolis. ( As the officers approached, the bandits opened lire with machine guns, killing Jones instantly. Sheriff Hattery believes the prisoners worked most of the night to saw their way out. I "I made a careful inspection of : the jail at 11 ip. m. and 1 am convinced that there were no saws ■ there then. “It is possible that an accom- , plice outside put the saws on a string lowered from the window by Mason or one of the other prisoni era.” Vare gave Sheriff Hattery and , state police an. account of the escape. “For several days I had been aware that the other five prisonI ers were plotting something, but I I was unable to find out what they I were talking about. “ 'Go away old man'.' the others I told me whenever I tried to listen ito their conversation. 0 FORMULATE NEW RELIEF PLANS (CONTINUED Fl.'OM PAGE ONE), ' pose last year, but Hopkins and his laities were dr-appointed. I CWA. they explained, provided Lilly one substantial torm of employment nstruction work. The I new i ’.an. they tsaid, must place 'men n jobs for which they are fit. As the, first step in the new program, states will be urged to double work relief expenditures. Unless they cooperate and contribute more the administration probatbly will curtail its outlay. Many states still arc relying ICO .per cent cn the govI ornment f r relief. I The new program is divided into i six classifications. 1. Planning. 2. Work n public property in- | eluding street and .tower improvej menta, highway construction and inI sect pest control. 3. Housing and demolition. 4. Production. 5. Education. 6.

WIDE HUNT IS UNDERWAY FOR CRIMINAL BAND (CONTINUED FKOM PACK ONE) since, several of them plausible: 1 — A gang of criminals from outside New York City, probably the land which took ♦13(1,000 at the Penn Grove, i*u., bank earlier thia year, planned and executed the holdup. 2 — Bootleggers who have been in penury since repeal of prohibition plotted the raid with the aid of some directing genius -a former military man or a former policeman—and with the assistance of hoodlums of prohibition days. 3 A new underworld leader. Intelligent, daring, able to dominate his mob and gifted with the imagination of a stage director or nrchoetra leader plotted the robbery and directed its execution. The holdup plot involved several ingenius maneuvers to throw

police off the trail of the flcelnK automobiles and there was the poestbiltty that the switch to speed boats Was merely another blind intended to cover the backtracking of the outlaws to aome safe hideout not far from the acene of the holdup. The blaArre feature# of the crime, the symphony of its execution by a dozen gunmen, the minute details of its gcenarlo-Hko plot which were fitted together within a spate es eight minutes which the holdup required, all lent strength to the belief that police must cope with a criminal mind of ia rare type. — o DELAY PASSING BEER ORDINANCE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) priebtr of Chick's Place, south of Decatur appeared before the c tinell ani vol id objection t? a closing on Sunday m u ning.

He suggested, that for his own buaineaa, he would like to remain open until one o'clock on Sunday morning. The council informed the two men that the closing and opening hours hud -not been determined and a mot! n was made to bring up the ordinance at the next meetirJ«. EMPLOYERS AND UNION LEADERS AGREE ON TRUCE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE_ ONE) tile larger transfer companies was the moat ini, ortant qevel ipment. Scene of joyous pandemonium occurred at union headquarters as a count of the membership vote approving the settlement was an-

nounced, and later at the armory where youthful national guardsmen have Jived in cramped emergency quarters for almost a month. Terms of the settlement differed in only a few points from the plan advanced four weeks ago by the Rev. iFYancia J. Haas and E. H. Dunnigan, federal mediators, and rejected by the IM firms that were the backbone of union opposition. They provided that: The strike end Immediately. Employers submit to the national labor board within three days preferential list of employes as of June 16, the date of the walkout, from which men will be reemployed. New men are not to be hired until the preferential lists are exhausted. Employes will elect representatives by secret ballot. Tile union will represent all employes of market area firms except executives and outside saloaiiien. In other firms it will represent only drivers, helpers and in-

Within three days employes and employers will select two men ■for an arbitration board; they, in turn, will select a fifth niemiber. The board's decisions in disputes will be final. Union members, who wrangled in a closed meeting for more than two hours before voting, guarded tlie trend of their deliberations until the last minute. The United Press correspondent was thrown to the floor and mauled severely hy threxi men when he rapped on the door to request information. o Ns«d No Great Skill The six musicnl Instruments that are considered the easiest to play are the harmonica, ukulele, tenor bnnjo, mandolin, saxophone and guitar.
