states that Anderson was the leader in two Indiana bank robberies, and that a third bank robbery attempt was frustrated by his detectives. Inspectors Doubt Government postal inspectors were incline dto. discredit the importance of the threat letter.- W. C. Ela, local i/.spector, and A. S. Kelley, of Winchester, Ind , who were Instrumental in capturing Chapman, are working on the case. John W- Welborn, Indianapolis inspector, said the threat letter had not been brought to their attention and the inspectors were working on the case in the usual manner. 1 WITNESES GUARDED Muncie Also Fears Vengance of Chapman Gang. Bu United Press MUNCIE, Ind.. Aug. 18.—Fear that vengeance of Gerald Chapman’s gang might strike down other victims in Muncie today caused authorities to exercise extreme precautions in investigating the murder of Ben Hance and his wife. George Aqderson, pal of Chapman, is hunted throughout the country and Charles (One Arm) Wolfe, Muncie police character, is held In default of SIOO,OOO bond as a suspect in the double killing. Great care was taken to protect witnesses appearing at the inquest into t e death of Hance and his wife from possible violence by the Chapman gang. Press Excluded Newspaper men were v excluded from the Inquest, and identity of the witnesses or the substance of their testimony was not revealed. It was known, however, that witnesses included three men from Yorktown. near Muncie. who said

they saw Wolfe and a man resembling t he* description of Anderson in Yorktown a short time after the murdgrs. * Police Chief Randolph said several new witnesses had strengthened the case against Wolfe. It was indicated a grand jury indictment against him would be sought after the inquest. Victims Buried
In a little country cemetery near their small farm home, Hance and .his wife were buried this afternoon. The mystery of the red car which stopped near the scene of the shooting has been solved to the satisfaction of local police who say it was occupied by an Indianapolis attorney and his two sons. The lawyer, police say, is afraid of vengeance of the gang and will not make known his identity. While .some of the investigators saiij Anderson still might be in Muncie, this belief was discredited because of the thorough manner in which the city has been searched. Numerous reports that Andercon has been sighted in Indiana cities or adjoining States have caused renewed excitement, but all failed to bring any tangible clew to the hiding place of the master murder. Another angle was injected when Harvey Wagoner, insurance man of Anderson, Ind., told authorities three men forced him at the point of a revolver to drive them to Cincinnati, Ohio, Saturday night. SCHOOL ISSUE DENIED State tax commissioners today denied a $31,000 bond issue for construction of two new school buildings in Clarksville, Clark County. SPEED BRINGS CRASHES In the past eight days there have been twelve serious accidents on Twenty-Fifth St., between Indianapolis Ave. and Dearborn St., according to Police Sergt. Mary Moore of the accident prevention bureau. Police have re9eived reports of speeding on the newly paved street. The word- cotton is derived from •an Arabic word, “kotun.”
POLICE TO KEEP STREETS CLEAN Patrolmen Asked to Enforce Sanitation Ordinance. Police today were requested to assume duty when Martin J. Hyland, street commissioner, wrote to Police Chief Rikhoff requesting that patrolmen be instructed to enforce the law that prohibits persons from defiling ,the streets with waste material. The law provides that police must make daily street inspections and that they may investigate insanitary conditions in homed. Hyland’s action is designed to insure that streets be spick and span during Greater Indianapolis Week. The law provides a $lO fine for scattering handbills, trash and refuse, while those who toss asire banana or orange peels are liable to a SSO fine.

The convention, according to its sponsor, Dr. - Hereward Carrington, is to stimulate interest in spiritcraft and eliminate fakers from the brotherhood. One of the delegates, 1 an Egyptian, actually guessed right several figures the United Press correspondent had written on a piece of paper.

AMERICAN GIRL ABANDONS SWIM % J (Coniinued From Page 1) last two hours she was buffeted by heavy seas and made progress only with the greatest difficulty. The American girl had been in the cold waters about eight hours and 48 minutes when she was taken aboard the tug La Morina on which her trainer and friends had accompanied her. When the swirling channel tides and choppy sea, coupled with the impossibility of completing her task forced the American girl to give up, she had covered a course of about thirty kilometers and was about twelve kilometers, or approximately seven miles off the English coast. At 1:30 p. m., when it was estimated that Miss Ederle was nine miles’ from Cape Gris Nez, whose cliffs had faded into the distance behind her, a strong southwest wind blew up at a rate of more than four yards per second. Breaks One Record Starting wjth a confident rush, her graceful body cleaving the water under the impetus of a powerful crawl stroke, the swimmer had broken a record for channel swimming before she had teen out half an hour from Cape Gris-Nex. Inside the first half-hour after her start from the rocks of northern France, she had covered a mile of her journey to the English coast. In the first hour Miss Ederle had covered three miles and her trainer, Jabez Wolfe, was cautioning her from the tug, “Not so fast, not so fast.” An airplane from Paris fluttered overhead and dropped a message of encouragement -to the swimmer to the deck of the official tug which was conveyed to her in the water. Now and then one of the party of swimmers aboard the tug would slide over the side to join her in the watqr. Miss Elsie Viets, the offic.al chaperon, led a three-piece jazz orchastra In gay tunes of which the swimmer is so fond. Departure Picturesque Once, after she had been swimming two hours she rested and accepted some beef broth. She was laughing and confident behind her goggles and coat of grease. Her departure, in high spirits to conquer the channel, was picturesque in the extreme. The sun rose at Cape Gris Nez over a channel extraordinarily calm, only the gentlest of swells lapping the sharp rocks on this northernmost tip of the coast. The wind was negligible and ex |

perts declared no swimmer ever set out under more auspicious conditions. Uses Lazy Crawl Stroke Shortly before 7 o’clock the tug arrived, flying thte Stars and Stripes from its masthead. Aboard the tug were Miss Ederle’s trainer and her chaperon and friends, musicians and men.Miss Ederle left the tug and entered a row boat In which she came ashore, towed by the United Press special speed boat, the Angus. The swimmer left her row boat, climbed up on one of the roeks an instant, then, laughing, slid down, feet first into the water and struck out, using a lazy crawl stroke. Spectators on the cliffs sent up a cheer which was picked up by those on the .tug.

shore, directing Miss Ederle as to how t° avoid the sharp rocks through which she was swimming. He had planned to start with her, but she had grown impatient and declined to wait for him. Music floated in from the tug, where a Jazz band had struck up a lively tune. Miss Ederle was making excellent progress, swimming taster than anyone had expected. At, 8:15 p. m. she was two miles from the coast and nearly everyone was predicting she would not only succeed but slash the record for the channel swim. DR.
