J. GUY HAUGH DISAPPEARS WITH 2 SONS Takes Them From Orphans’ Home for Ride and Doesn’t Return. ECHOES DIVORCE TRIAL J. Guy Haugh. former local haberdasher and hotel owner, has disappeared with his two sons. Roland, 7, and Guy, Jr' 3. them from the Indianapolis home, 4107 East Washington street, where they were placed by court order, for an automobile ride, he apparently was in flight or concealment with them today. Mrs. Marguerite Haugh. his divorced wife, is frantically searching for the children. She appealed to authorities to institute a nation-wide search, even to watching steamship lines, fearing that her former hr.sband will seek to Keep the children by taking them out of the country. This climax of a long series of domestic difficulties between Haugh and bis divorced wife, who is a native of France, ociturred yesterday, when Haugh drove to the orphans’ asylum to visit his children. TOLD MATRON TO DRESS THEM WELL. Asking the matron to dress them in their best clothes, he sped away with them in his car. He had not returned this afternoon. At the Haugh hotel, where he has been living, it was said that he was out of the city and that his whereabouts were unknown. No word had been received from him, :t was claimed at the asylum. Mrs. Hangh, after vainly seeking aid from many sources in Indianapolis, went to Rushville to consult a lawyer. Judge Will M. Sparks of Rushville, who granted Haugh a divorce from his wife, issued an order last week making the children wards of Marion county. She will seek to have a warrant issued, charging her former husband with kidnaping, she said before she left. MOTHER NOT ALLOWED TO SEE CHILDREN. I/aura A. Beggs, superintendent of the Orphans’ home, said Haugh left the home with the children yesterday. “■.Many of the children here, have one or both parents living.” she said, -and the parents frequently come to see them. ‘•Mr. Haugh was allowed to take them for a ride, and has not returned. Mrs. Haugh was not allowed to see the children. T simply thought it best that she re not allowed to see them,” said the superintendent. POLICE TAKE NO ACTION IN CASE. After talking to Judge Sparks of Rushville on the long distance telephone, Mrs. Beggs said that the orphans' asylum would take no legal action to recover the children.

•'They -were simply placed in our care, r.nd if any action is to be taken it mint !>e"taken by the court or the authorities." she said. A dispatch from Rusbvllle aald Judge Sparks had left the matter entirely to the local authorities. No initiative had been taken by local authorities this afternoon to apprehend Haugh. Mrs. Haugh, who went to New York a few weeks ago after she was released in criminal court, returned to Indianapolis to continue her fight for the children. She has called at the orphans' horn* frequently, but has not seen the children at any time, it is said. When she called this morning she was tld they had disappeared with Mr. Haugh. HAI (iHS MET ON HKD STEAMER. Mr. Haugh and his former wife first met on a steamship on their way to France about ten years ago. Mrs. Haugh, who is said to come from a family of distinguished army officers and literary people in France, was then s-cretary to a literary man in New York. Her romance with Haugh quickly budded, resulting in their marriage. They returned to Indianapolis to live at Centra! avenue and Sixteenth street, in the Haugh home. Tt-eir domestic difficulties culminated in the granting of the divorce by Judge hparks of Rushville last year. Mrs. Haugh's plea for her children was refused. x On May 10, last year, Mrs. Haugh was arrested on a charge of attempting to shoot her husband in the Horace Wood garage on North Meridian street. CLI B WOMEN COME TO HER ASSISTANCE. She was arrested and, apparently being penniless, was released on bond furnished by Dr. Amelia Keller and Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson, prominent club women of the city. She was taken into Mrs. Jameson's home, but later to St. Vincent’s hospital, where she underwent a serious operation. Dr. Keller took one of the children into her home and Otto Keller, a brother, took the other. Mrs. Haugh became estranged from Dr. Amelia Keller after she was released from the hospital, and went to New York to earn a living teaching French. She returned to Indianapolis to face trial in criminal court. During the trial the state failed to produce the revolver with which she is said to'have tried to shoot her busband. - y Haugh freely admitted that he* took the revolver from Indianapolis to, Chicago, where be left it. The court, holding that the defendent ' had the right to be confronted with the alleged weapon, which her attorneys said was not loaded with bullets which would cause death, dismissed the case. BOTH APPARENTLY PLEASED AT OITCOME. Haugh smiled, contentedly. Mrs. Haugh, too, smiled and said: ‘Thank you, Guy.” After the trial Dr. Keller and Otto Keller asked to be relieved of the custody of the children. Judge Sparks, refusing to definitely award custody of the children to either of the parents, made them wards of Marion county. According to the order, Haugh was not required to pay anything for their support The order did not say whether either parent should be forbidden to see the children. Mrs. Haugh, after learning of the disappearance, first called on Juvenile court authorities to help her. She then called the police and was told she was required to file an affidavit Charging kidnaping before the police could seek out Haugh. DECLARES SHE’LL NEVER END FIGHT. Mrs. Haugh has declared she never will end her fight for the custody of her children. Some time ago she appealed to Haueh to allow her to take the children to France and rear them among her relatives. She wanted to go back to her own (Continued on Page Eight.)

Pllplp What’s What 1 In Indianapolis • >&■ ft) “Know Your Own Home Town" 1 £•_. —dhxjiu' Q'*■ (By the Reference Department, Indianapolis Public Library, C. E. Rush, Librarian) When and by whom was lndianapol% named? At th meeting of the legislature in January, 1821, Judge Jeremiah Sullivan of Jefferson gave the capital, hitherto unnamed on the records, the name of “Indianapolis.” At first much fun was made of the suggestion, but finally it was adopted through the support of Samuel Merrill, a member of the legislature. Are we a church-going city? Indianapolis has 221 churches of all denominations, with a membership and affiliated attendance of 120,000 people. How long did it take to erect the Soldiers' and Sailors’ Monument, and how much did it cost? It took fourteen years to erect the Monument, from 1887 to 1901, and it cost $600,000.

After Mr. Carroll had withdrawn, Mr. Taggart congratulated him before the meeting and complimented him highly on his willingness to forego his own am bitlons in the interests bf party harmony. The public withdrawal of Mr. Carroll was the result of negotiations which have been under way since Mr. Taggart expressed a desire to have the democrats of Marion county united for one candidate for chairman. Following the meeting supporters of Mr. Carroll expressed praise for Thorqgs E. Riley, member of the board of works, who, they said, was responsible for having brought Mr. Carroll to the point of being willing to give way for Mr. Sullivan.

Collins again continued proceedings in the contempt action started by Claris Ad ims, prosecutor, against James L. Ivilgnllen, as managing editor of The Times, today. The court received memoranda from Mr. Adams on motion of the defendant to be discharged, thus making it necessary to delay proceedings further. In this memoranda Mr. Adams took occasion to deny that Robert A. Butler was responsible for the publication of the article in question, regardless of the fact that it was shown in the memoranda accompanying the motion that the .preparation, and publication of the article was under the sole authority of Mr. Butler.

In his memoranda Mr. Adams sets out some testimony in connection with an attempted investigation of an article that was published In The Times on March 12, 1919, for which Mr. Ivilgalleu assumed responsibility, and attempts to argue from these premises that, having admitted having full authority over the publication of articles more than a year ago, Mr. Kilgallen can now be held responsible for all publication. Walter Myers of counsel for the de sense called the attention of the court to supreme court decisions showing that the answer of the defendant under oath was 1 conclusive and the facta therein binding on the court.

Munsey, publisher, before the senate committee investigating the print paper situation. WASHINGTON, M(fy I—“My personal opinion Is that the need for congressional action has passed and that the better sense of the publishers throughout the country is beginning to show itself," William Randolph Hearst stated (today, in a letter on the white paper shortage addressed to the senate subcommittee. “But if congress should see fit to take action to hasten this development, I would recommend that they take an average of the size of dally papers in the United States and not allow any one paper to exceed that average without the penalty of being excluded from the malls. "The same way with Sunday papers. “Then if any further reduction of consumption is necessary, reduce all papers proportionately. “in this way the conscientious publisher would not be punished for having been a considerate newspaper man and a conscientious citizen."

FATE DECEIVES ARCH SLAYER • I Bares Murder Secrets to Avoid ‘Death on Gallows.’ LOS ANGELES, May I.—lronical fate tricked Charles Newton Harvey into confessing the murder of four of his fifteen "wives,” it developed today In an interview with the modern "Bluebeard" and super-bigamist In his Iron-bound hospital cell. He believed capital pnnishmer.t existed In the state of Washington when he brained pretty Betty Pryor, near Olympia and it was to escape that erroneous fear of death on the gallows that he bargained with District Attorney Woolwlne here for life imprisonment as the price of full confession. But "Bluebeard" had escaped restoration of capita! punishment in Washington by a single day, and it would have been impossible there for him to hang While here, with the confesston of iNlna Lee Deloney's murder to confront, disregard by the court of the district attorney's recommendation of life im prtsonraent would mean death. And this seems not unlikely today, afficials agree. Harvey lay today In his Iron bed. hands manacled to prevent further attempts at suicide, an utterly broken man. "I must be insane," he moans: "I must be insane.” He refuses to answer questions: photographers are barred from his room. Only once did be show the slightest emotion and that was when a correspondent said this: “Didn't you know you could not hang in Washington when you Offered the confession to the murder here.” He propped himself up in bed, tugging at his hands. “My God, no," he exclaimed. "That's not so—not so.” But when assured that it was he fell back, buried his face in his pillow and sobbed. He seemed to fee! that, despite his promise from Woolwlne of recommendation of life Imprisonment, he is living under the shadow of death. His one hope pppears to be “insanity."
