On the contrary, the speech in the British house of commons of Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secretary, was welcomed as indicating a change toward realist policy which would bring British suppoi t of Italy’s claim to overlordship in Abyssinia.

CORONER FINDS - YOUTHFUL GIRL TOOK OWN LIFE Suicide Verdict Returned After Companions Maintain Stories Bedford. Ind., July 12 — <U.R> — | Frances Irene Prince, 15-year-old j grade school girl who left home i two months ago in search of i “more good times” and was shot i fatally Sunday in a “lover’s lane" committed suicide, Coroner Roland E. Wynne said today. The coroner returned the suicide verdict after four days of questioning failed to break down the stories of three companions lon the fatal automobile ride. The three companions. Glen Kinder, 26. George Hale, 26, and Miss Loretta Johnson. 15, had been suspected of manufacturing the suicide theory to save Kinder from a murder charge. Frances died with a bullei through her head. Her friends 1 said she had uhot herself while | I sitting in an automobile in a shady quarry lane. A skull fracture and evidence that she had been bea’en indicated a murder, however. Chemical tests showing gunpowder particles in the pores of Kinder’s hands and testimony that he ‘ was “terribly jealous” of Frances served further to incriminate the youth. Under long hours of grilling, during which they were subjec ed to a "lie detector.” the three maintained their story of suicide. They made only minor varia ions las they reiterated details of the amorous automobile ride The suicide verdict of the coroner cleared them today. Prosecutor David F. Long said they would be charged with minor crimes disclosed in investigation of the killing. They were to be taken before JC-ONTINFFTI’ ON PAGE TWO) COUNTY DEBTS SHOW DECREASE Despite Poor Relief Costs, Indiana Counties Show Decrease Indianapolis, July 12.—KU.R/ Despite heavy demands to finance poor relief, indebtedness of Indiana counties is decreasing at the rate of approximately $3,000,006 per year, the stale board of accounts announced today. The total county indebtedness in 1933 was $36,358,673 as compared with $39,549,806 for 1932, Albert Dickens, chief statistician of the board, announced. Dickens pointed out that the figure would have been further reduced almost $3,000,000 had the counties not been forced to issue poor relief bonds during the latter part | 1933. Highway bonds accounted for the major portion of the indebtedness with a total of $15,735,830 for the entire state. Bridge bonds tota’led $6,-57,95i,i county buildings, $8,965,952, and poor relief and other types of temporary loans. $3,856,071. Courthouse indebtedness for the year to'ailed $2,570,775. hospitals $2 190 950, and various penal and correctional units, $1,185,280. The balance was in funding and refunding bonds and miscellaneous purposes. j Os the 82 counties in the state, only six ha<l r.o indebtedness during 1933- They were Brown, Jennings, Hendricks, Johnson, Randolph and Union.

BEER DEALERS ARE ASSESSED Three Local Dealers Pay For Improper Tapping Os Kegs The individual may think there are as many different ways of tapping a keg of beer as individual choice might dictate the guzzling of the amber fluid. That impression is all wrong as far as the .Internal Revenue department is concerned. Local beer dealers had an official caller today in the person of Earl Stanley Martin of Chicago, who showed credentials that he , was an Internal Revenue collector. Mr. Martin took a look at the beer kegs and found that the stamps had not been punc'ured properly when the pump was inserted in the keg. According to information imparted by the government representative the stamp across the bung of the keg had to be punctured with the pump. It was not an intentional violation, but Mr. Martin explained that ignorance of the law in keg tapping and j stamp breaking did not excuse them. To settle the matter the internal revenue collector offered a compromise in lieu of a fine. The law granted him this right. Two of the dealers were charged S2O each and one got off with a $lO bill. Mr. Martin visited every place (CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX) O TO SEEK FUNDS FOR BUILDINGS Indiana Asks Federal Funds For Work At State Institutions __ — Indianapolis, July 12. (U.R) — Members of She state budget committee were expected to confer with Wayne Coy, state works administrator, today on a proposed program to use federal money in construction and improvements at Indiana’s correctional and benevolent institutions. Witii approximately $2,000,000 available from the state treasury budget committee members hope to negotiate federal grants enabling them to accomplish almost twice as much as could be done under the 1935 budget appropriations. Use of WPA funds for the institutional work appeared unlikely in view of the recent decision of President Roosevelt that in more than $25,000 would be allotted to any one project. Several of the Indiana projects, including work at the state prison, state penal farm, Fort Wayne school a,nd other institutions would require several times that amount, the budget committee pointed out. However, the committee sought information on a plan which would enable the state to obtain Joans from the public works administra(CONTINUED ON PAGE? SEVEN)

GENEVA SCHOOL PLAN UNCERTAIN Three Sites For New School Building Have Been Proposed The fate of the school children | at Geneva next fall and winter is ! still undetermined. Three sites have been proposed by taxpayers of Wabash township. One plan in to build the new building near the center of the township. Another group wishes the building in the south part of Geneva or in a location in Geneva not near U. S. highway 27 and which has more room for playgrounds than the present lot Others wish the building con structed on the site of the present school. Discussion has also been raised as to whether the old building should be rebuilt so that it would pass the approval of the sta’e school and fire inspectors who have condemned it or to build an entirely new building. Agitation has also been raised as to whether it would he better to sell the old building as it stands or to have 1t torn down bv FERA workers with the nnsslbili’y of salvaging some of the ma terial for a new building and sell- ■ ing the remainder. A work relief | project has been anproved for demolishing the old building. Tentative plans have been drawn ui> bv engineers which call for a SIOO,OOO building. The newbuilding would have a gymnasium and community center in the middle of 'he structure. Claes rooms would be built around the outside of the building.

LANDMUROERED AT REDDEST OF MOTHER-IN-LAW Evidence Indicates Killing Was Done By Murder Syndicate Chicago, July 12.-(U,R>— Evidence of a sinister murder syndicate ruled by a onetime burlesque queen and her Chinese lover emerged today from the murder of 28-year-old Erwin Lang. The S2O-a-week grocery clerk, led to his death by the JeaJousies of his mother-in-law. was dumped in the swampy wastes of a spot, long known as “gangland’s cemetery' I near Hammond, Ind. He had been gaiToted, beaten, and both legs were amputated. , Mrs. Blanche Dunkel, mother of Lang's deceased wife, confesesd. police said, that she made a deal with the buxom ex-burlesque queen, Evelyn Smith, to "bump off" Lang I for SSOO. The Smith woman, who had been hunted secretly in connection with the Saddle and Cycle club murder iof laouis K. Straub, was in custody of police. Investigators confronted her with the signed confession of Mrs. Dunkey in a secret grilling. The woman, pictured by police as bartering in crimes as ugly as : 'those of the women of the Syrian druses who butchered deserters of the French foreign legion, received SIOO from Mrs. Dunkel to get I-ang out of the way, according to the mother-in-law's confession. Four Chinese laundrymen were questioned by state's attorney s investigators as a search spread out for Harry Jung. Evelyns dapper, Americanized lover. Two of those held. Francis and George Jung, dliook their heads with bland indifference when police I tried to learn their brother’s , whereabouts.

Melvin Purvis, Man Who “Got” Dillinger, Quits Federal Job; Future Is Uncertain. GREAT RECORD Chicago, July 12 —(U.R)—Melvin H. Purvis, the man who got John Dillinger, resigned today as America’s No. 1 crime-flghter. Purvis laid aside the mantle of office without ceremony, leaving behind him a record unapproached in modern law enforcement history. He gave up his position as special agent in charge of the Chicago office of the department of justice bureau of investigation to "settle down in Chicago." "I’m going to get a pipe and sit on someone’s front porch,” Purvis said in his formal announcement of resignation which he said had been accepted by J. Edgar Hoovei in Washington Wednesday to be effective today. Further than that his plans are indefinite, Purvis said, but there were reports he planned to enter the law business. He will be succeeded in Chicago by Daniel M. Ladd who has run the local bureau intermlttenly while Purvis was working outside the office. The wiry little 127-pound Purvis arrived at his office on the 19th floor of the loop Bankers building this morning dressed in a white linen suit, blue cravat and white shoes. He went 'immediately to his private office where he framed his formal announcement of resignation. in that office the modern school of educated crime-fighters—-most of them young lawyers trained in the art of crime detection — have planned their battle against such gangs as that of Dillinger. A thick rug covers the floor. The panelled walls and mahogany furniture give no suggestion of police duty. No guns are in sight | and the top of Purvis’ big desk on which five telephones rest is immaculate. Around the room there are dictaphones to pick up the conversation of every visitor but they are cleverly hidden. Purvis, since he took over his perilous job in 1932 lias disposed of Dillinger, Roger Touhy, Verne Sankey, George (Baoy Face) Nelson. Charles Arthur (Pretty Boy) Floyd and dozens of other lesser lights in the post-prohibition gang era. He leaves to his successor as public enemy number 1 and his first assignment the capture of Alvin Karpis, co-leader of the Kar-pis-Barker gang. Purvis’ resignation long had been rumored. As he vanquished one public enemy after another a rich glamour became associated with his name. He became the mosttalked about of the federal agents. Such* a condition was at variance witii best department of justice (CONTTNUWD ON PAGE TWO) o______ 0 ______ WOMAN FLIER SETS RECORD Laura Ingalls First Woman To Fly Continent East-To-West Los Angeles, July 12. — (U.R) —• Laura Ingalls’ snub-nosed "Vendetta r lane,” in which the shunky woman flier set a non-stop New York-to-Los Angeles record, was being groomed today for an attempt to break Amelia Earhart Putnam’s west-to-east transcontinental mark. Although Miss Ingalls realized one of her aims last night when she brought the low-winged Lockheed to rest at union air terminal, •the curly-haired a.viatrix is not satisfied —she wants to break Amelia’s eastward cross-country mark of 17 hours, 7 minutes, 30 seconds. Miss Ingalls took off from Floyd Bennett airport, New York, at 5:30 a. m. (EDT). Throughout the day no word was received from her coal-black plane.
