FRANCIS IN NEW CONFESSION

‘TALKING BURG 1 4 R’ GIVESSTATEME T TO DISTRICT ATTORNEY Accused Man , Wife, Prosecutor and Louisville Chief Closeted With Van Nuys for Hour and Half. LX ITENTS ARE NOT MADE PUBLIC Frank Francis has made another confession. The burglar, who yesterday is understood to have told an astounding story before the Marion county grand jury involving two county officials, one city official with offices in the city hall and a number of policemen in liquor law violations, today made another signed statement before Frederick Van Nuys, United States district attorney. Francis, his wife, Chief of Police Jerry Kinney, Prosecutor William P. Evans and William H. DeForester, chief of the Louisville detective force, were closeted with Mr. Van Nuys for more than an hour and a half and when the conference broke up the district attorney announced he had a signed statement from the prisoner. Mr. Van Nuys, however, refused to make the revelations public. [

At 1 o'clock Francis ami his wife went before the Federal grand jury, it is understood to relate the ramifications of the widespread plot he has already mentioned in his original confession made in Louisville. The sudden turn of events which landed Francis and bis wife in Federal toils came as an unexpected l-low to those who have not been anxious to have him detail his connection with a rum running plot, Bor to expand on his operations with an auto theft gang. Francis, whose original confession connected and. Herbert Hartman. Republican nominee for city judge, with a scandal, was taken in custody by the Federal authorities, after be had been spirited into tbe city by Chief Kinney and Inspector of Detectives Herbert R. Fletcher, neither of whom has appeared r.nxiots to have too facts of Francis’ statoment concerning the police department aired. The confessed burglar and hi3 17-year-oKl wrfe, I.ura, were placed under arrest by Deputy United States Marshal Frank S. Ream on a warrant charging fcibeiu with Laving transported stolen auPtomobiles in interstate trail; -. Francis, in his original confession, admitted baring taken stolen ca-s from Indiana to • thio and Kentucky, and he also admitted having had a part nt liquor-running operations from Kentucky into this State, and said a quantity of the rum was used here in the primary last spriug. WIFE GIVES WAY TO TEAKS. As Francis and his wife wore escorted from the jail to tbe Federal building by Deputy Marshal Ream, Sergi.tut Dean and I‘atrolman McEiiracy they were recognized by curious crowds. Francis put on a bold front, but his pin! wife, worn cut by the long strain, entered tbe building in tears. The officers said it was the first time she has broken since ter husband's arrest. When the officers got the prisoner at the jail Mrs. Francis was sitting on his lap. A3 the party passed the Market House Francis asked his wife if she had any fruit. "No,” she replied. "Weil you might as well grab a l unch Lr you’re in jail and they can't do anything to you any how,” he said. In the afternoon when Franc's and his wife were taken back to the Federal building they were driven over la a patrol wagon to escape the curious gaze of the crowds who unfailingly Lava recognized the burglar. KENTUCKY COURTS WILE HAVE THE SAT. ‘ Francis will be taken before tbe Federal grand Jury,” Mr. Van Nuys said, "to testify to any violations of Federal srefutes o£ which he may have knowledge.

Because property owners did not heed the wishes of the beard of public works sometime ago the board was not disposed today to give much attention to a request of Robert R. Sloan, president of the Southeastern improvement association that bad crossings over the street car tracks in Shelby street be repaired. Recalling that the property owners twice have blocked resurfacing of Shelby street through remonstrances Mark 11. Miller, president of the board remarked. "Personally I would not favor wasting a penny on the street car pavement In Shelby street until Shelby street is resurfaced.” Mr. Sloan asked that if it is impossible to make the Indianapolis Street Railway Company repair ail the pavement hetween its Shelly street tracks it at least be required to eliminate the bumps which exist at street crossings and if the i ity cannot make the street car company do this that the city repair tbe crossings itself. He also asked if the board intruded to require the street railway company to resurface between its tracks in Virginia avenue, now that the property owners have start, '• paying for resurfacing the rest of ih-. street. Mr. Miller replied that in the second case the city contends that the company must pay for both resurfacing and original pavement, .but that the question will have to be |settlcd by the public service commission. He finally agreed to send somebody to look over the Shelby street crossings, “to see if they are any wortee than the rest of the pavement.” Mexican Gunboat to Investigate Craft MEXICO < ITY, Oct. 12. —A Mexican gunboat was touay ordered put to sea j and investigate a mysterious vessel which j has been sighted off lower California.

FRISCO RAMS SECOND ONLY TO NEW YORK Boasts Fine Harbor , and Commands Pacific. Special to Indiana Daily Times ai.J Philadelphia Public Ledgar. By RICHARD SPILLANE. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 12. Next to New York, Saa Francisco ranks perhaps as the most colorful and cosmopolitan city of the United States. It has various natural advantages, foremost of which is one of the finest harbors of the world. It commands a goodly share of the trans-Pacific commerce. The cosmopolitan character of its people and its. trade is illustrated by the titles of a few cf its many banks, such as the Yokoaoma Specie Bank, Sumitomo Bank, Ltd., Anglo and LondonParis National, the Bank of Italy, : Canadian Bank of Commerce, Canton Eank, French American Bank, Hong Kong and Shanghai, Italian American Bank, Portuguese American, Dono-hue-Kelly Banking Company, British American Bank, etc. To every one who comes to the Pacific coast—and the number increases each year—Van Francisco has a particular attraction. The tourist traffic has become a major industry, and as for hotels San Francisco probably has more to the acre j than any other city of America bur Atj' lantic City. j Os great manufacturing establishments | —big industries such as are common to I leading cities of the East—it has com- ; parativciy few.

NO BOND ISSUE FOR PLAZA THIS YEAR BY COUNTY The Marion County commissioners today \were considering postponing action in authorizing a $1,600,000 bond issue as the county's share of the war memorial plaza until next year. The three commissioners stated they were In favor of the memorial, but they did not deem it wise or expedient to increase the bonded indebtedness of the county at this time. President Carlin Shank said: “I feel we are adding a lot of indebtedness to the county and the city at this timo if we should authorize the bond issue. I feel next, year conditions probably will be better. I am not against the memorial, but I realize that for a year we have failed to soil $200,000 worth of bonds for iSunnyside. Those bonds still are unsold and are In the office of the county auditor. If we can't sell $200,000 for such charitable work ns is being done at Sunnyside, how are we going to dispose of $1,600,000 additional bonds?” Commissioner Ilarry Tutewiler said: "I believe that the country commissioners can take action.in this bond Issue nt any time they see tit. I feel it is not wise to hurry action at this time.'* Commissioner Lewis George said: "As time goes on. I think It is not wise to increase the indebtedness of the county this year.” The commissioners contend they are not opposed to the plaza, but do not believe the bonded indebtedness of the county should not be increased at this time. The city council already has authorized a similar Issue by the city, which is to cooperate with the State and county le creating the memorial building anil p aza.

J2.—New York's rival pennant winner!, the Giants and Yankees, met in the seventh game of the world's series here this afternoon before, the biggest crowd that has yet turned out to watch them do battle. One hour and fifteen minutes before game time the sale cf unreserved seats was stopped. The bleachers were packed to the gunwales and the upper grand stand was sold out. Crowds were battling with the cops outside trying to get up to the gates. Every unreserved ticket had been sold at 12:30 o'clock and the police threw lines around the park and permitted onlyticket holders through. inspector Cahalane in charge of the police estimated that 10,900 had been turnd away. The weather, which had been very raw and unfriendly throughout the morning, tempered off toward 1 o'clock. The sun came out strong and the breeze died down considerably. Victory in the seventh game means much to the winner. The team that gains the verdict will have a big edge. Tired and worn from six days of hard work which has gotten them no place, the Giants ami Yankees looked upon today'6 battle as the one that will decide it one way or the other. The bleacher fans, with nothing to do but voice their sentiments while waiting for hostilities to begin, razzed each other. The fans pelted each other with wadded up newspapers. Special policemen were powerless to stop the demonstration, but it was friendly for the most part. The big crowd gave the Giants a warm reception when they came on the field at 12 :35 p. m.
