CHILDREN TRY PICKETING AT WHITE HOUSE Seek to Win Coolidge’s Support in Textile Strike. Hu United Tress WASHINGTON, April 15.—Six children representing the Passaic (N. J.) textile mill strikers today, were refused opportunity to present their case at the' White House. The children ranging from 4 to 7 years of ago bore banners, the first of which said: “Wo want to eat.’’ Another said: “Our mothers work nights; our fathers days; who can care for us?” A third asked the President to “come to Passaic and see how we live.” The children were allowed a moment in the executive offices, but only after they had been asked to remove their posters. ' Charles Trocola, in charge of the delegation, presented to Everett Sanders affidavits setting forth the numerous alleged violations of the Constitutional bill of.rights concerning free speech and assembly, and asked that they be laid before the President. Sanders said the President was indisposed and unable to see visitors, but accepted the affidavits. “The Passaic trouble is a State matter, Sanders said, “and I do not believe the Federal Government is concerned.” The children and their parents were typical of mill workers and presented a picturesque, ragged appearance in the White House grounds. They contrasted strangely with the well dressed callers waiting in the lobby to be guided through the White House. , It was the first real “picketing” attempt, since the famous suffrage picketing- of Woodrow Wilson, when police arrested many militant su liragists who subsequently staged long hunger strikes.

MAIL BANDITS STILL AT LARGE Value of Loot Alsa Undetermined. Bn United Press > INDIANA HARBOR, Ind.. April 15. —Despite thorough searches of northern Illinois conducted by posses the two men who on Wednesday held up and robbed a mail messenger here, are still at large today. The exact amount obtained in the robbery has not been determine*, but four packages which were being shipped ~from Baltimore, Youngstown, Ohio, Italy and Chicago, are thought to have contained most of the loot. " The package from Chicago contained '537,500 .In old bills being shipped from the Federal Reserve Bank to the Indiana Harbov bank. Frank Watson, driver of the mail *ruck, who was found in Joliet after being kidnaped by the robbers, is being questioned by Federal officials in Chicago.

CASE NUMBERS TOTRACE BOOZE (Continued From Page 1) will be turned over to the Department of Justice for Investigation. "I’m not making a personal Investigation,” he said. “I’m following the orders and restriction sent me by the attorney general, in which it was said that the facts a|;e to be reviewed if they warrant criminal action it should be taken. To Be Turned Over “The case will be turned over to the Department of Justice, which is the investigating department, and carried on in the usual manner. All I do.is order the review of facts and the investigation. “The Department of Justice, after tiie investigation is completed, will present a report to me on what has been found. If l think these facts warrant criminal action, { shall present ttieni to the grand Jury.” Ward said these was no way of determining whether the investigation will be completed in time to have the ca.->e presented to the grand jury, May 5, if he deemed it necessary. % No ‘Emergency Rush’ Ward also said that there will be no “emergency rush” in the investigation. • He said he did not know of the attorney general's instructions until he read of them in newspapers at Evansville. He said the instructions were awaiting him in the mall when he returned. It was indicated that the investigation will not be conducted by any one in this office of the Department of Justice, but that an agent or agents will work on the case incognito until the report of the findings is submitted to Ward. Before beginning the recount, Meredith said it was his personal opinion that the booze would not be destroyed until the investigation was completed and It was determined whether or not the case warranted presentation to the grand jury. Held at Office The mandate received from the Chicago court was held by the clerk's office* officials pending Judge Baltzell's arrival Friday. It Is understood that he will be informed of the arrival of the mandate and that if he does not take action to hold up/the order a copy of it will be certifl<*l to the marshal and the booze destroyed at once. Conflicting opinions as to whether the court will hold up the booze destruction o/ let the power of the mandate go untouched were heard at the Federal Bldg. Some officials declared it would be held up. while others asserted the serial number check was being made in order that the exact amount and description of the booze may be recorded for reference after the booze is destroyed. Yellowley arrived in Indianapolis and visited Deputy Administrator A. R. Harris at the Federal Bldg.

No Connection He emphatically said his visit had no connection with the booze Investigation and further said that Lincoln C. Andrews, assistant secretary of the treasury, and prnTtibition administrator, did not order him to cooperate with the Department of Justice in investigating the liquor disappearance. Word that this order had been issued by Andrews was received here unofficially soon after Representative La Guardia, New York, in Congress charged that 350 cases of the booze had -“mysteriously disappeared.” “I never received any word to that effect," Yellowley said. ”1 know nothing of this booze case because I was not in office when the liquor originally was confiscated and brought here. First Time Here “I am not here for the purpose of mingling in the investigation. I am merely here to visit. This is the first time I have been able to come to this office, although I have Intended to come hel-o several times. You know, things are pretty busy In Chicago.” He asserted that he did not have a copy of a report made by Giapt. Addison Townsend, prohibition investigator two years ago, which showed that 220 cases wfere gone then. That this check had been made was disclosed by Bert Morgan, former prohibition director, who said Townsend and Oscar Holman,

THE INDIANATULtIS TIMES

Students Don’t Go to Justice When Butler University students get married they go to someone other than the justice of the peace to “get the knot tied,” according to Justice J„ B. Mullane of Irvington. Though he has been a justice of the pace for seven years, and is the father of three former Butler football stars, Mullane has never performed the marriage . ceremony for any Butler students. This year has not been an active one, so far as marriages are concerned, in Irvingtot), the justice said.

prohibition agent, cheeked the liquor after Morgan had qeard that some of it had found its way Into bootleg channels. Officials said they did not recall that any of the booze had been captured by federal agents in raids sinefc it was stored here in January, 1923. The report of Townsend was said to have been submitted at Washington and a copy of it sent to the Chicago office. Townsend was released from the service shortly after making the report. . Yellowley expressed appreciation of the work Harris has been doing in Indiana. In speaking of the recent moves of the wets for dry law modification, he said, “The wets will never succeed in having the law modified — it is here to stay.” He was in Indianapolis all day and had lunch with Harris and M. Bert Thursman, collector of internal revenue. Figures Compared That the liquor had disappeared was announced at Washington a few days ago after a first count by bignaigo and Meredith, the last week of March, showed only 1.123 cases stored in the building. These figures, compared with those entered in the court docket July 28, 1923, over the signature of “Linus P. Meredith, United States marshal.” accounting for 1.445 full cases, six partly filled and two empty, showed the 330 missing. Clarence Nidhols, Indianapolis attorney, said that he and Thomas D. Slattery, attorney for the booze in the libel case in the local court here in 1923 when the court issued the order to have it destroyed, had reached an agreement whereby Nichols was to bo retained as defense counsel. - Nichols said it was his recollection that there were only about 1.200 cases of booze, but that in the court proceedings the amount was spoken of as ”1,500 cases more or less.”

Refused to Appear He refused to file appearance as attorney in the case after George Remus, bootleg king, came to his office and suggested procedure to be followed in handling the case, he said!? He stated that he refused to accept a check of SSOO as a retaining fee from Remus and Slattery, when he learned Remus had been in jail “for perjury and forgery.” "I thought the case was an ordinary seizure ease at first,” Nichols declared. When the IfbeJ case was being tried. Slattery refused to reveal his client. It was the belief though that Remus owned the Squibb liquor. * \ The booze was confiscated I>\\ D earl Kirn County at the dis tillery at Lawrenoeburg, In ttu> latter part of 1921, shortly after it lied ‘been bottled. It was held by the county until the last of 1922 when the Government issued an order for its confiscation by the United States marshal. During this time the distillery was padlocked, but was. broken Into once. No Heavy Thefts No large thefts took place at that time, It was believed. The liquor was brought to Indianapolis in freight cars, being shipped the night of Jan. 11, 1923, and arriving in the Big Four freight yards before noon Jan. 12. Railroad officials said a check was made when the liuqoF was unloaded from the cars into

United States mail trucks for shipment to the building. Meredith, however, denied any accurate check had been made before the one last month. The booze was stored in a basement room and in a second floor room adjoining the grand jury chamber. The basement room was broken Info twice and some of the liquor was thought to have been stolen. Immediately after the court issued the verbal order for. destruction at the conclusion of the libel case, Meredith declared he went to the basement room and destroyed about twenty-five cases before being told Slattery would appeal. Slattery did not perfect the appeal, so after waiting six months for him to do so, Ward appeared before the Circuit Court three weeks ago and asked that the be docketed and dismissed. The court agreed on this and the mandate was sent here Tuesday, arriving today. SHELLS MENACE U. S. CHILDREN Scores Hide in. Cellars During Chinese War.
