said. “For the first time in more than ten years, Indiana practically is free of bank failures. Today there is not a single bank operating on a restricted basis. At one time there were 132 such banks, with more than $8,000,000 in frozen deposits. Half that amount has been released.’’ High praise for the 1933 bank ing act and its amendments passed by the 1935 state legislature i was voiced by the governor, who | said the act has been recognized 1 as a model by other states and by the federal government itself. The governor attached particular significance to the banking department figures showing increase in deposits of country and smalltown banks. He attributed that to better farming conditions. —„ o ■ — Auto Rouses Sleepers BOSTON (U.R>— The Enos Christies were awakened when James Kenny's automobile went on a midnight rampage.

YOUNG SLAYER DIES TONIGHT Gerald Thompson To Be Executed For Girl's Murder Joliet, 111 , Oct. 14.—<UR>—Gerald Thompson was moved today from I his lower tier cell in the state. penitentiary to an upper tier cell,' adjacent to the death chamber I where he will be electrocuted i shortly after midnight tonight. The move marked the beginning of the death march which will be ' resumed at midnight after religious rites have been said over the man an dthe death hood adjusted over his head. The hood will prevent his ever seeing the death chamber itself where he will pay | with his life for the sex-murder of Mildred Hallmark. Pressing close to the glass partition that separates the spectators from the execution chamber will be scores of newspapermen and the privileged curious. Inside the chamber will be six official! witnesses, three doctors, two ward-, ens, two guards, and the chaplain. In the control room off the exe-1 cution chamber will be the executioner whose I identity will remain secret. In Illinois an official executioner never is named and the guard who is designated by the prison warden to throw the death switch is sent to the control room before the death march begins. He does not leave until as- 1 ter the execution chamber has! been cleared. ' The execution will be in charge

of Joseph Hagen who takes over the duties as prison warden from Frank D. Whipp at midnight. I Whipp timed his resignation to 1 avoid the execution ordeal. ■ o— ——— NEW THREAT OF CONTINUED FROM 1 AWE ONE properly demarkated, and he again ! suggested that a permanent com- ' mission be empowered to tlx u , frontier. The foreign office said it knew lof only one clash, on October 6, i and asserted that on that occasion Russians invaded Manchukuo. Manchukuo authorities are said by the foreign office to have pro- ! tested twice recently against Russians crossing the border in the ' area. ASKUM, HOLY CITY CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE to precipitate dissension "for reasons quite different Ilian regard for authority of the League of Nations” as one high authority put it. The newspaper Voce D’ltalia charged editorially that "Great Britain is determined to create a 1 European war at all costs in order to defeat fascist Italy." Reports that British war vessels in the Mediterranean have refused to acknowledge courtesy salutes from ItaJian ships fanned a flame of resentment already burning high because of British suppression last week of a projected international broadcast by Baron Pompeo Alois!, Italian representative at Geneva. The I British broadcasting company, government monopoly, refused to

relay the address to America. British officials explained the action was in pursuance of the sanctions voted against Italy by the League of Nations. To Keep Peace Washington, Oct. 14—(UR)-The United States is determined to keep the peace, add will call upon the rest of the world to do like wise, Secretary of State Cordell Hull declared today in an address to a group of representatives of Latin American republics. Simultaneously he appealed, for a united front by all American nations to compel specific solutions of international disputes and observances of the world's peace machinery. Hull’s speech was made as a welcome to the second general assembly of the Pan American institute of geography and history which convened at the Pan-Ameri-can Union here today. o THREE PERSONS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE 24. Mr. and Mrs. East were slain. Rich suffered a critical head wound Secrist was said to be near death. Rutledge was arrested here soon after companions of Rich furnished officers with a description of the killer's car. He said he was driving through Utah from Cheyenne. Wyo. The suspect admitted, police said, that he was intoxicated when arrested. and had been drinking heavily earlier in the evening. “When I take one or two drinks I go cuckoo” police chief W. L. Payne quoted him. “I don’t know what 1 was doing. No motive for the shooting of the

woman police believed to have been Rutledge’s companion had been established. Officers theorized that after the original shooting the killer had gone into an insane frenzy and turned the gun on the other victims in fear of their evidence. ■ o AKSUM, HOLY CITY CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE the pitiable inability of his subects to realize that they face almost certain defeat in war with any modern military power. So confident is the populace of Addis Ababa that grinning men and wo- ■ men pred.ict on every street corn--ler that “before many weeks Ras Seyoum will reach the sea and we will be rid of the Italians forever.” i They have not heard, or refuse indignantly to believe, that the • Italians have pushed Ras Seyoum's Ifobcea back from Eritrea and have captured Aduwa, Adigrat, and Ak- , sum.LOCAL MAN IS — CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ' the platform had been crushed. ’, Mr. Witte, the only occupant, was j pinned beneadh the wreck. The car itself was rolled into a compact ball of steel, rubber , and glass. One rear wheel and part of the axel were twisted to I a point a few inches above the • front wheel. Hundreds of Decatur people examined the wrecked i automobile at a local wrecking . ; company Sunday. Conflicting stories were told r as to whether the flashers were working when the accident hap- ? pened. The flashers are connect

ed to the two trunk lines hut not to the switch track on which the accident happened. If part of the load had been on the trunk line the flashers would have operated. — "'0 —• Two Men Killed In Mine Cave-In Steubenville, 0.. Oct. 14 —(UP) Two men were killed and three others injured here today in a cavern at the High Shaft mine. o Issue Warning On Reckless Driving Indianapolis, Oct. 14. —The motorist who dashes wildly down the highway after a driver who has crowded him to the side of the road or is guilty of some other fault, may become a greater menace to traffic than the driver who aroused his ire, James D. Adams, chairman of the state highway commission, asserted today. Starting out after a motorist who has been careless in handling his car, with a chip on your shoulder is a good way to land up in a hospital, Mr. Adams said.

pointing out that it is a dangerous practice to try to settle grudges with an automobile. Several of the accidents occurring on the state highways in recent weeks have been due to one driver losing ills head over the action of another motorist and attempting to "get even." ■ ■ II ■■O'" Judge Smith To Give Huntington Ruling Huntington, Ind., Oct. 14. —(U.R) —Mayor Clare W. H. Bangs, of Huntington, will renew his hostilities with the Northern Indiana Power Company tomorrow before Judge David A. Smith in Huntington circuit court. Judge Smith will hear arguments on a motion for re hearing of evidence on which the power company was granted a permanent injunction against extension of the city’s “toy" electric plant. A denial of a rehearing will result in an immediate appeal to the state supreme court by Bangs. The power company will follow the same proceedure in event of an adverse ruling.
