RAIDERS CALL ON VINCENNES (Continued From Page One) been in personal charge of a raid since he was assigned to the Indinna territory. Harris and his men left Indianapolis Tuesday night and spent the night here. Only Federal agents were to take a hand in the present round-up, It was understood, although in the other major liquor offensives over the State county and local authorities have cooperated with the Government men. The dry drive here today is the fourth large one staged In Indiana by Federal forces since December. In only one instance did the raiders meet with opposition. That occurred at the Robert Wilson roadhouse where the Federal men were mistaken for hi-jackers. It was necessary for the officers to threaten to draw their guns before Wilson and several others consented to arrest. At another place a bulldog was turned loose on the officers and it was necessary to kill the animal. Several of those arrested had recently finished serving liquor law violation sentences Imposed by the Federal Court in Indianapolis. SHUMAKER COMMENDED Indianapolis Ministers Support I)ry I;eague Head on Stand. Resolutions have been adopted by Methodist ministers of Indianapolis commending the stand of Dr. Edward S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, and other league officials toward some members of State Court and Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom, whom they charge with indifference to enforcement of the State dry laws The court has not acted on Gilliom’s request that Shu maker be cited for contempt, along with Ethan A. Miles and Jesse E. Martin, league attorneys. Shumaker's record was praised in the resolutions. Births Bovh Clyde and Gooryctte Dunn. 3026 Npwton. William and Florence Woodruff. 1158 Kentucky.

Fifteenth St., and Clifton Smith, 32, of 420 Smith St., Negroes, are held today on charges of vehicle taking and vagrancy, following their arrest late Tuesday by Motorcycle Officers Trernpe and C. F. Johnson. Negroes were arrested In possession of an auto belonging to Mrs. Laura Atkins, Bargersville, Ind., stolen from Illinois and Market Sts. Monday.

TEETH CLEW IN SKELETON CASE (Continued From Page One) Henry, 24, of Columbus, Ind., reported missing from home Juno 11, 1925, It was said. She had two gold fillings in front teeth, was 6 feet 4 inches high and weighed about 117. She had a 6-year-old child with her. There is no record here of her having been found. Coroner Investigates Coroner Paul R. Robinson and Dr, Cleon Nafe, city hospital superintendent, also examined the bones. They agreed in saying the woman was white, not under 25, about 6 feet 3 or 4 inches in height. The first molar on the left side was gold filled, while the canine tooth on the right side was filled. Dr. Robinson said. Dr. Cleon Nafe of city hospital agreed with Dr Robinson’s analysis. Seek Dentist Officers are hoping that some dentist, friend or member of the woman’s family will remember the fillings in the teeth, and give them some more definite information on which to work. Occupants for the last three or four years of the building where the remains were found were to be questioned. The body was placed there not more than three years ago. Dr. Robinson said. He based this on the fact that the bones were well preserved. Quicklime loses Its power in a short time. The skull was In good condition, according to the report. The skeleton was discovered Tuesday in a sitting position, in a round hole four feet below the floor level by Sam Baker. Negro, 324 Cora St , digging a cellar for the Patton Construction Company. Guy Buckley, a carpenter who tore up the flooring, said directly over the place where the body was found the flooring had been cut out In a three-foot square and replaced. A small mound of debris, containing hair pins, was found under the patched-up floor. Officers say that though several doctors In the past occupied rooms over the store, there have been none there recently. One doctor, who had offices there about twenty years ago. is serving a term at Federal prison, Atlanta, Ga., on a narcotic charge. No doctor would have taken such pains to conceal the hones if he hnd simply discarded a skeleton in his office, it was believed.

In Barrel Jt was believed that the body might have been put in a barrel with the quick lime, and dropped through the hole in the floor. The lime, it was said, would have eaten up the barrel. No case hits been discovered by officers which would fit in witli the murder of a woman in this vicinity. “We will treat this just as an unfinished case,” Dr. Robinson stated Detectives Sneed and Tralnie have been assigned to tiie case by Detective Captain Jerry Kinney. He has ordered a complete investigation. According to Corneiiu Holloway of the Charles E. Holloway & Son, Inc., rental agency, 140 N. Delaware St., the building was owned by C. E. Nordyke, address unknown, and W. B. Waddell, who now resides in Tampa, Fla. Last October the Columbia Securities Company, present owners, purchased the building from Waddell. Hollowuy said that when R. W. Smith, druggist, vacated the storeroom, in 1917, Harry Silver opened up a dry goods store there. He rented continuously until October, 1922, 'when he sold out to Phillip Chasman, who bperated the store until 1925. When Chasman vacated the room it stood vacant for several months, but during the latter months of 1925 Mrs. Susan Warfield, Negro, opened up and operated a restaurant for a short time. Moved to Chicago A check shows that Silver moved to Chicago, 111., where he is supposed to reside at this time. Chasman, a relative by marriage, is said to now reside in Beech Grove where he operated a dry goods store. Persons who have occupied the building probably will be questioned, but lt was pointed out the murder probably was committed while the building was vacant. / Holloway said he doubted that the skeleton could have been buried by a doctor. He said no doctors had access'to the storeroom of the building, and the opening in the floor is several feet from the stairs leading from the outside to the second floor, where the doctors had offices. It would have been impossible to dig the hole and place the body in the small space between the floor and the ground, while the floor was in place, Patton, the contractor, said. There was a basement under the buiuding. One is being dug now.* • Buckley, the carpenter who wrecked the building, said today that when he first looked for a place to remove the flooring he noticed a space between two of the floor boards and placed a bar in it. When he pried it a large section of the floor came up in one piece. He said it resembled a trap door. HOLD-UP INVESTIGATED Police investigated an alleged hold-up reported by Ernie Clark, 610 E. Market St.,- a taxi driver. Baker said he received a call to Pershing Ave„ and Tenth Sts. at 12:30 a. m. and his oustomers turned out to be two hold-up men. One was armed with a gun and the other searched him, Clark said. They took fS.4O.
