DOCTOR IS HELD AT CHICAGO AS BANDIT SUSPECT War Veteran Also Sought— Police Say Loot Will Be Recovered Soon, By United Prex* CHICAGO, June 17.—Dr. Spencer Brown, recently convicted in connection with the $1,000,000 Warner warehouse robbery, is under arrest in connection with the $3,000,000 mail train robbery near here last Thursday. Police today also sent out descriptions of Carlos and Ernest Fontaina, brothers, and Anthony A. Kissane, war veteran recently acquitted of a murder charge. Chief of Police Collins has ordered that Brown be held incommunicado. One of Leaders Collins said he believed Brown was one of the leaders in the daring robbery of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul mail train, and that he dressed the wounds of the bandit shot down in mistake for a mail guard. The Fontaina brothers are under indictment for a previous robbery. They were released on bond and have been missing since the mail robbery. Kissane, it is believed by Collins, made and executed the warlike plans on the mail clerks and guards. Kissane is familiar with the use of the tear gas bombs hurled into the barricaded mail cars and with the gas masks used to penetrate the stifling vapor. Ten Others Arrested Collins, who has been predicting “imminent solution" of the affair, said today that he felt sure he would have the rest of the gang and the loot "within seventy-two hours." 1 In addition to Brown seven men and I three women are in custody. “It has been ascertained that the actual cash in the loot, totals $75,000," Collins said, “while the securities exceed $3,000,000.” HIGHWAYS COST U. $112,373,488 Federal Share in Indiana Road Building Shown, The Federal government has paid into Indiana for State highways since 1016 a total of 512.373.188, according to report issued by the j United States Department of Agriculture today.

HURLEY BOOMED FOR DEMOCRATIC VICE PRESIDENT Former Head of Shipping Board Mentioned for Place on Ticket, By ROBERT J. BENDER, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. June 17.—E. N. Hurley, chairman of the United States Shipping Board during the war, is being quietly boomed through State delegations as a possible Democratic vice presidential nominee. In some respects it is one of the most important political soundings that has occurred to date. It may have a far reaching effect both on the presidential nomination and on the party’s chances at the polls. Early arrivals here speak of him as the strongest possible candidate to match General Dawes. Manufacturre Hurley is a well-known manufacturer of the middle west, a business economist of wide repute, a J former chairman of the Federa 1 trade Commission under Woodrow Wilson. He commands the high re spect of the business world. Hurley also commands the warm friendship of labor. He started life as a railroad worker on the Burlington system. He was an engineer at the time of the famous Burlington strike of 1888 and, like a number of other men who were in the service then and later, became prominent in the business world, he "is srill out on strike.” Opposed to Dawes, he might well be expected to capture a big labor vote. Democratic leaders are giving as much pre-convention thought to the vice presidential nomination as they are to the head of the ticket. And, because of the extraordinary poliical situation brought about by tinindependent candidacy of Senator La Follette, the leaders are seeking a a man for the second place on thticket whose strength in every way matches that of the head of the ticket. Known in Illinois Furthermore, he is widely known throughout Illinois and with the possibility of the Bill Thompson Republican recalcitrants trekking to the polls under the banner of Senator La Follette, leaders believe that with Hurley on the ticket there might be a chance of carrying the State. His work with George Brennan in Cook County Democratic campaigns, incidentally, might be expected to find him persona grata to this party chieftain and the elements he controls.

ABOVE: THE STATUE THAT PRECIPITATED THE ROW. BELOW: ENRICO CERRACHIO, ITS SCULPTOR. Bp .V F. .4 Service OOUSTOX, Texas, June 17. Texans, who already have fought under six flags, are battling again—this time under the banner of art. A monument to be erected here to Gen. Sam Houston, the man who freed Texas from Mexican rule, is the cause of it all. The contract was awarded Enrico Cerrachio, sculptor, who readily admits he is a missionary for art to the people of the Lone Star State. His design, depicting Houston leading his men into battle at San Jacinto, is pure art, he contends. But some of Houston’s descendants declare it is just “pure bunk." “That statue ought never to go up," says Mrs. Robert Johns, a niece of the General. “The resemblance is so remote, the face is unrecognizable and the pose is awkward. “The General wore a plain black coat, fur cap and old boots at San Jacin-o. The statue shows him in a double-breasted Prince Albert, a campaign hat and polished boots. And .t makes him look too fresh from a barber shop.' ” Other descendants, however, de clare the statue is a perfect likeness. They agree with Cerrachio that his work is pure art.

BAYNES WOULD MARE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION DRV Booze Sleuth Talks About Absence of Liquor at Cleveland, By SEA Service WASHINGTON, June 17.—Roy Haynes, roly-poly prohibition commissioner, is a proud and happy man. Roy claims the honor of having made the Republican national convention at Cleveland the dyest national political gathering in the history of the U. S. A. When Roy says “dry,” he means it literally, not figuratively. He's referring to the absence of alcoholic beverages, not to the lack of enthusiasm which the correspondents had in mind when they described the convention as “dry.” Prepared Carefully Haynes attributes the alcoholic drought at Cleveland to careful preparation. He had special agenfs In Cleveland spotting likely cases for four weeks prior to the assembling of the delegates. Asa result, about the only supplies in evidence during the Coolidge convention were those carried to the town with them. His success in Cleveland has made Roy ambitious. He craves now to clamp the lid on New Tork during the Democratic sessions as effectively as he had it on at Cl< veland. Sleuths Read' Already he has had u., additional regiment of rum sleuths on the job there for weeks. New York, however, threatens to present difficulties not present at Cleveland. New York and New Jersey wets are just as determined to provide alcoholic hospitality on that occasion as Haynes and his agents are that liquors shall not flow. This rivalry between the prohibition officials and the boys who seek to anticipate a wet plank in the Democratic platform promises to provide a game of hide and seek for the delegates not less thrilling than the quest for the right man to run fur President.
