Mary Moore, Jack O'Xeal and Harry Smith of the accident prevention bureau were busy today overhauling a moving picture machine used to illustrate lectures at the various schools. Mrs. Moore said she is preparing a schedule of speakers for each school, but cannot make assignments until schools convene because their roll call periods are not yet learned. Police Chief Herman F.

DOLORES DIETZ, MRS. KATIE BAUER AND LIEUT. SAMUEL GEDDES.

STATE PARDONS BOARD 10 PASS ON 39 PETITIONS Clemency Sought by Two Marion County Persons. Thirty-nine petitions for clemency will be considered by the State board of pardons at its meeting Sept. 8 to 1? Only two Marion County cases were in the list. Thomas B. Dillon of Indianapolis, who is serving a six months sentence at the Indiana State Farm following conviction for gambling in Criminal Court, is named in one petition. "There was no doubt as to his guilt," the petition said. On Dillon’s behalf it was urged that he had reformed during his imprisonment. The other Marion County case was that of Weskey McGinnis, sentenced in Criminal Court to one to two years at the Indiana Reformatory for liquor lew violation March 12. 1924. Gene Wiliams, formerly prosecutor of Delaware County, serving a two to fourteen-year sentence or. charges of burglary, is among the petitioners. Williams claims he was convicted on perjured testimony. “Practically no one in Delaware County believes the defendant guilty,” the petition states. “Fries" Arc Stolen Chicken thieves are operating in Indianapolis. Henry Windhorst. 2135 E. ThirtyFourth St., told police sixty chickens—just the size to fry—were stolen from his coop Tuesday night, valued at SIOO.

A familiar figure to State Fair visitors and a comforting one to those in trouble —unless they caused the trouble —is Lieut. Samuel Geddes. He has been doing police work at the fair for ten years. It's easier now than it used to be. I.ost autos and lost children are the most serious worries, whereas years ago drunks and pickpockets made life at tiie fair an exciting one for the officers. Lieutenant Geddes stands outside the police headquarters in the horse barn at the fair ground frequently, with a smile and helpful word for any one who needs it. He was glad to direct Mrs. Katie Bauer. 1546 Ringgold Ave., and her granddaughter, Dolores Dietz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Dietz. 1548 Ringgold Ave., when they started out to make the rounds at the fair. THREE HELD IN ATTEMPT TO ROB Two Deputies Wounded in Gun Battle, It a l nit ed Press MEADE. Kan., Sept. 3.—Three Mexicans were under arrest here today in connection with thf attempted holdup of the Rock Island’s crack passenger train, the “Golden State Limited,” west-bound, here last night in which two deputy sheriffs were wounded in a revolver battle with the bandits. One of the Mexicans was captured last night as he attempted to escape and the other two were arrested this morning. The wounded deputies. Roy Lewis and L. V. Keeney, are not seriously hurt, physicians said today. The robbery of the mail cars, said to contain more than a quarter of a million dollars :n registered mail, was frustrated hy a sheriff s posse waiting here ween the train arrived. Railway officials had been “tipped” that the hold-up attempt would be staged. SEE PURCHASING AGENT, SAYS MIKE :Traffic Head Wants Machine to Paint Auto Lines, Recent changes in the traffic code made by the city council have caused widespread wailing among motorists who have become its vic- ; tims. Motorists who have returned I to their machines and found stickers [ on their windshield for alleged violations of the code declare they were I not properly informed about the changes. Changes in flat-to-the-curb parking and parking at an angle is resulting in many complaints. Traffic Inspector Michael Gleen said the reason parking places and lines were not marked on the streets was because the custodian has not a proper painting machine to do the work. He suggested that motorists take their complaints to the city purI chasing department where he placed an order six months ago for an adequate painting machine. Because of the changing in parking has necessitated many more miles of painting, he said. It is impossible to do this with the present shortage of labor in the custodian's department, he said. Injured Boy Improves Edgar Brooks, 14, of 1014 Southeastern Ave., is improved today from injuries received late Tuesday when he was struck by an automobile driven by Eugene Hamblin, 30, of 1103 N. Alabama St. The Brooks ] boy was taken home and Hamblin | was held on an assault and battery charge.

LEAGUE TARES U? DISCUSSION OF DISARMAMENT W, G, McAdoo Attends Meeting, Which Opens at Geneva, fiu United Prrss GENEVA. Sept. 3. —The fifth general assembly of the League of Nations today began whole-hearted discussion of international security and disarmament following the arrival of Premier Herriot of France and Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald of England. After MacDonald's arrival early today, the two premiers immediately went into conference with their respective delegations attempting to hit upon a scheme for national security agreeable to both countries. Both apparently have rejected the plan of Professor Shotwell, leader of the American group here. It seems certain that France will never accept England's demand for disarmament, the French feeling they need mil" r y guarantees against attack e disarming. The league's >ary, naval and aerial commission 1 ,s prepared a new project covering disarmament and security, which will be submitted to the two premiers today. This may form the basis for the common agreement. Both MacDonald and Herriot will address the assembly Thursday. William Gibbs McAdoo, former secretary of the United States treasury, arrived to attend the sessions.

TRANCE MAY TAKE HAND IN REVOLT IN NORTH AFRICA Failure of Spanish to Put Down Insurrection Is Cited. Ity L nited Press PARIS, Sept. 3. —The possibility of French intervention in Morocco Is seen here today as a result of the serious setback given Spanish armies which for two years have been waging unsuccessful warfare against the hostile Riff tribesmen. Diplomatic authorities aro frankly concerned over the situation in the Spanish Morroccoan domain. There is every indication that suppression of the native revolt will require a greater military effort than the Spanish people are prepared to support. French officials believe that in view of Spain’s failure to preserve order, revision of the treaties of 1906 and 1911. under which Spain occupied the country, might be the best solution. A French protectorate is contemplated. It is admitted, however, that France and England could hardly initiate negotiations. Such an action would be sure to cause friction in Madrid where the present government, headed by the dictator Primo Rivera, naturally would not admit responsibility since this would mean the end of its political life. Some sources, however, think it is not impossible that France may be forced to bring up the question, asking British support. France is directly interested in Spanish arms. If the Riff tribesmen eventually win a clean-cut victory, France believes the next step would be an effort to expel France from Africa. A Puzzle a Day Three gamblers.
