POLK ATTEMPT 10 TRACE IVES OF BANK BANDITS Clew te Identity of Three Who Got $3,000 at Acton Lacking,. Indianapolis .detectives today had no clew to the identity of three bandits who held up the Acton State Bank at Acton, Ind.. Monday and escaped with $3,000 in currency. The bandits, who were in a highpowered touring: car, executed the robbery in a manner that shewed the job was well planned. B T. AteCollum, cashier, was alone. Miss Velda Toon, bookkeeper, and E. H. Hamlin, vice president, were at lunch. According to McCollum, the men stopped the auto opposite the bank and sauntered in. The cashier was at work on the books in the rear of the room. In No Hurry — The driver of the car stopped at the door and the other two approached McCollum. While one pointed a gun at him 'with orders to “stick 'em up,” the other slowly sorted out the currency from the silver in the safe. He left about S4OO in silver. “When the men came in,” McCollum said,” the man the gun became peeved when I put up only one hand, but laughed when he dis covered that I had only one arm to put up.” After the bandits gathered up the money the man at the door was signaled to go. He walked out and started the auto. One of the others followed with the money. The man guarding McCullum left last, warning McCullum not to move until they weie out of sight. Traced to Five Points Charles Chapman, Big Four station agent, saw the car as MuCiyllum ran out. He said he grabbed a gun, but that before he could get to the door again the car was gone, headed toward Indianapolis. The bandits were traced to Five Points, five miles southeast of Indianapolis. It is thought the bandits may have taken to cover near there. A woman who operates a lunch stand at Beech Grove, Ind., told Motorcycle Officer Johnson that a man who answered the description of one of the bandits has been loitering about her Place for several days. ’* J. C. Schaf, Jr., 4001 X. Pennsylvania St., whose blue Wills St. Claire car was stolen from a downtown corner Monday, told detectives he thought it might have been taken by the Acton bandits.

HEALTH OFFICER ISSUESWARNING Close Watch Kept on Soda Fountains. Look out for impure ice in soft drinks. The city board of health has started a crusade against the practice at some sod* fountains of using ice cream packing ice for soft drinks. Three inspectors are working in the mile square Inspecting fountains and restaurants. “Some of these soda fountain experts use this packing ice because it is ready to servo,” said Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city sanitarian. 'lt is hard to Watch all of them.” City ordinances provide for using running hot water on all dishes at fountains. Some stores have turned to paper dishes to avoid this expense. ~ F'ood inspectors are busy examining restaurants for cleanliness and equipment. All employes are required to pass physical eaxminations. Dr. Morgan, pointed out that Indianapolis was one of the first cities in the country to adopt such measures. COOUDGE FAMILY BOWES 111 BRIEF (Continued From Page 1)

died, saw their struggle for compos- - ure. the solitude of the White House to which the boy's body was taken, the - Coolidges shut out a sympathizing world. John Coolidge. elder brother of Calvin, Jr., is with them. The still form in the east room had been the Coolidge family’s pride \ —An American boy of 16. It 'was only a week ago that septic poison- ; ing set in from a blister on Calvin, Jr.’s., foot. Courage Unavailing There followed an unparalleled effort to save the boy’s life, in which the most important factor was the indomitable courage the patient himself displayed. But without avail. It is sixty-two years since Tad Lincoln died in the arms of his father In the White House. Not since then has a President in office lost a son In death. There was a hush over the executive mansion Servants and I secret service men moved softly , about, talking only in whispers. The Coolidges were trying to show as little as possible of their grief, j From the very' first they have felt | the Joss of Calvin Jr. is a personal ! family affair. So it was not as President and first lady of the land that they mourned, but as a bereaved father and mother. And they wished to be alone. Doctors said today that Calvin Jr. lived hours longer than they had thought possible, sustained by his own courage when every one gave up hope. Blood transfusions, injections of saline solutions, all the knowledge and klll of medical science were brought to bear in vain. Sense of Death Monday night the sense of death enshrouded the great military hospital where 900 invalid soldiers lay in wards surrounding that of the son of their commander in chief. The corridors were empty and quiet, while outside a crowd of anxious watchers stood in the darkness with i>ale faces upturned toward the third floor windows of the room where President and the boy’s mother stood at his bedside. E. T. Clark, the President's personal secretary, was the intermediary ..between the sick room and the newspapermen who were sending the news to the anxious world. “The Boy Is Dying" At 7:55 he brought out word: “The boy is Oying.” But for nearly thre3 hours more young Calvin clung to j life. Then at 10:33 Clark, his face gray with the fatigue and sorrow of the long vigil he had kept at the elbow of his chief, appeared to nod his head and say, “It’s all over." A few minutes later the parents came down the hospital corridor. Nurses, doctors and orderlies stood by at military' attention, their faces mute with sympathy. The President looked straight before him, his face drawn and pale, his lips compressed,

hut betraying no other sign of his grief. Mrs. Coolidge leaned heavily on his arm, her head bowed. They entered the President's car and were followed by the White House automobile containing secret service men and members of the staff. The motor cars proceeded through the dark streets at a slow pace—like a funeral procession. By the time they reached the downtown section newsboys were shouting ex tras announcing the death. Leaving their automobile, the President and his wife walked slowly into the White House, Mrs. Coolidge supported by the President and I. N. Hoover, chief White House usher. AS they entered the mansion their son, John, met them. All Loved Him Secret service men, secretaries, all the White House attaches today were bowed in personal grief as much as in sympathy for the bereave'! parents and brother. Calvin had been a particular favorite with all who had known him. The tall, somewhat frail boy had an engaging personality which won friends. Throughout the last five days all had prayed he would win out. The President moved about today as if in a daze. Inarticulate as usual, unable apparently to give vent to his sorrow which might obtain him some measure of relief, he was at grips with his agony. He was known to have counted much upon his sons. Their training and, character building was his first thought. Throughout the illness of Calvin the President conducted hjmself with the fortitude of his New England temperament. On the Fourth of July, his own fifty-second birthday, he delivered an Address to the National Education convention with a rare courage that concealed the fact his son was already dangerously ill. But after that he made hardly a pretense of working 6ther than to attempt now and then to do something' to occupy his mind. When the time came to begin the vigil at the hospital he was constantly near his son, sustaining Mrs. and inspiring the boy to new efforts. Once on Saturday night watchers below' saw his form silhouetted against the light window of the room. He had just entered to see Calvin after an operation. He stood gazing down in silence at the form of his son. The blood poisoning from which Calvin died originated from a blister which he wore on the great toe of his right foot while playing tennis on the White House courts last Monday. The blister broke and the way was opened to infection. In boyish fashion the lad, even after the spot became reddened and angry, paid no attention to it. Thus neglected the poison worked its deadly way gradually into his system. Milliner Lists Debts A petition in bankruptcy was filed in Federal Court today <by Mrs. Alta Rummel Samuels, f( milliner, of Newcastle, Ind. Assets were listed as $525 and debts $2,2*8.61.

DOUBLE VOTING BY ELDERS PROPOSED V Englishman Would Allow Citizens Over 40 to Cast Two Because of Value of Mature Judgment,

By MILTON BRONNER XEA Serrice Writer LONDON, July 8— In Great Britain, 'all male citizens over 21 have the vote. Women over 30, possessing certain financial and residential qualifications, also have the vote. Parliament now is considering making all women over 21 voters. This has led to a quaint proposal. One man has written to members of Parliament that by all means the young people of both sexes should be given all Ihe responsibilities of citizenship. But he thinks the experience of age also should be recognized. * Therefore he thinks that every citizen 40 years old and over should have two votes. It is the old English idea of plural voting. * * In fairy books wizards make the desert blossom like the rose. The Prince of Wales possesses the gift of making dead, seaside resorts spring to magic life for a few short hours. For instance: Le Touquet Is a famous French seaside place on the English Channel.

Nobody loves to pay taxes, but Latin people seem to loathe the idea more than most.

Mussolini had named a royal commissioner to collect taxes, many of which were two years in arrears. I So one day the farmers came to town, beat up the commissioner, set fire to the town hall and endeavored to destroy the tax books. The Italian government was forced to send great numbers of troops to the district to restore order. * • * The London crowd is the most patient. the best-natured, the most considerate on earth.

SEVEN DEFEATED OFFICE SEEKERS. FREED IN COURT All Testify They Had No Expenses in Primary Campaign, Seven unsuccessful candidates in the May primary election Were found not guiltj of failure to file campaign expense statements by SpeciaJ Criminal Judge John W. Holtzman today. Seven other cases will be heard Tuesday, July 15, at 9 a. m. Rebuplican defendants were John L. Askard and John P. Fitzgerald, who ran for nomination for State Representative. Democrats were Mrs. Catherine DeMiller, 44 E. Thirtieth St.; Miss Merica Hoagland, 218 E. Nineteenth St., a clerk at the Diamond Chain Company; Louis C. Schwartz, labor leader and former Representative; George W. West, Buyer student, all candidates for State Representative, and John W. Losh for State Senator. All seven said they spent no money in the campaign, and all gave excuses of business or sickness. Motions to quash affidavits were filed by Frank C. Riley and Patrick E. Walsh, 331 R. E. Wyoming St., who will be tried next Tuesday. Riley, Republican, who sought the nomination as prosecuting attorney, avers the charges against him are faulty in calling Prosecutor William H. Uemy the "prosecutor of Marion County," and the Criminal Court the "Criminal Court of Marion County.” There is no such office, he insists, and no such court. Riley says it should be “Nineteenth judicial district." Walsh informed the court he didn't "remember filing as a candidate for Democratic nomination for coroner.” He didn’t want to .be a coroner, he said, and anyhow he is not a doctor. How his name came To be entered he did not know.

CONDITIONS IN BRAZIL BECOME ■ ALARMINGJEPORT Disturbances Spreading— Naval Squadron Sails - for Santos. By United Press Hit' DE JANEIRO, July B.—The situation in Brazil is becoming more critical. Disturbances are spreading and a naval squadron has sailed for Santos to attempt to re-establish order. The Jornal di Commercio says a section of the regular army, quartered in and about Sao Paulo, conspired with state troops to capture the government palace there. Acted in Time The Governor learned of the movement in time and took the necesary measures to prevent it being carried out according to the newspaper which says that the revolutionary activities are caused from lack of unit of commanding the army and adds that the movement is continuing. An official communique says the situation is “favorable” and that the battleship Minasgeraes has radioed from Santos that everything is calm there. Rigid censorship prevails an messages from Sao Paulo, the storm center, and the government realizing that the pressure upon the world created by the revo't will be decidedly unfavorable is naturally anxious to suppress both revolution and false reports concerning it as rapidly as possible. Unnecessary Alarm The Anotieia publishes an official note deprecating the movement and advises the populace that it is quite unnecessary to become alarmed. Last Saturday the chamber unanimously approved the president’s request jtbat; a state of siege be donors of all states telegraphed Presinors of all states telegrphed President Bernardes placing their state troops at his disposal to put down the rebellion.
