ASKS LIQUOR REPORTS Chief Orders Officers to Give Details in Writing. Police Chief Claude Johnson today did not reveal what motive he had for instructing officers to .report In writing details of liquor search warrants. Johnson ordered that all officers make thorough Investigation of complaints, get correct names and addresses and then apply to judges for warrants. > If they fail at this point the officers were instructed to file the written Information at his offire.

HAAG STATEMENT CLEWJNSEARCH (Continued From Page 1) to restore circulation. lie appeared to be about half frozen. "We turned east on Troy Ave., past Garfield Park and did not see the Chrysler again.” Haag’s visit to headquarters Monday was his second attempt to see Johnson, it was.disclosed. Friday he called and asked for the chief, leaving when he was told Johnson was not in. Before Noon Then Monday, shortly before noon and only a few hours before he fell fatally wounded by a bullet from the gun In the hands of one of the holdup men, ho called again and asked for Johnson. Jack O'Neal, elerjc, and Sergt. Rachael Schweir asked if anyone else would do. “No, it is a personal matter from which I fear something might happen,” Haag said. In the meantime Chief Johnson and Inspector Claude AVorley, who is in direct charge of the Investigation, planned to enact the slaying at the scene of the crime on Thirty-Eight St., with Earl McCormick, 25, of Lawrence, Ind., in the role of one of the bandits this afternoon. Ono explanation of Haag's visit to Johnson was seen in a conversation Haag had with Traffic Inspector Lester Jones about 11a. m., Monday. Jones said Haag had been seeking to get a pair of “no parking” standards to put in front of the Haag store at 114 N. Pennsylvania St. AVhen Jones told him they would cost S6O a year he objected and said ho would ”seo someone higher up,” according to the story. If that was his reason for wanting to see Johnson, however, it was believed he would have made some mention of it to O’Neal with whom lie was acquainted. Miss Jessie Murphy, with whom Haag had stopped to have lunch when the shooting occurred, and Martin Critchfield, 3215 E. Twentieth St., barbecus employe, will also witness the scene.

Arrested at Homo McCormick was arrested at his home late Wednesday night. He ' somewhat resembles one of • the Haag bandits, and drives a Chrysler auto of the color in which the i bandits fled, police said. McCormick fs held on vagrancy j charges under high bond. The shooting and hold-up was re- j enacted at police headquarters late J Wednesday with McCormick, who was arrested by Detectives Jordan, Reynolds and Rugenstein, playing the role of the taller of the two bandits. McCormick, who has a mustache, is said to resemble the slayer of Haag, according to police. Miss Murphy was present and nearly fainted when McCormick, playing the role of the bandit, demanded the largo diamond ring, as j did the -obber shortly before shoot- ! ing Haag. Haag's refusal to part j with the ring, a gift from his uncle valued at $3,500, resulted Jn his death, police say. It was said that immediately after McCormick’s arrest his wife went to the home of Miss Murphy and was later taken to headquarters for questioning. Mrs. McCormick said her husband was Innocent. A pair of glasses simlliar to ones used by the bandit was found at | McCormick's home, it. was said. Miss Murphy refused to say whether Ale- i Cormick was one of the bandits. j “He has oil the appearance of the man,” was all she would say. Police said that Tuesday a neighbor of McCormick spoke to him about the similarity of his car and his mustache with that of one of the two bandits. According to the story, police were told, McCormick turned/ to his wife and said. "Remember honey where we were Monday.” Checking Alibi The officers are checking his alibi, that he was at a show until 12:50 p. m. and then drove with his wife to a Ilaag drug store at Massachusetts and t'ollego Aves., purchased cigarets, and then drove to Twenty-Fifth and Station Sts., where he obtained a shoe at a repair shop j

for his mother-in-law. Going to his home at Lawrence, McCormick said he went flower picking with his wife and mother-in-law. Police say Green Alill Gardens is just north of Twenty-Fifth and Station Sts. Recall Attac ltCaso Police also plan to question McCormick about the mysterious attack on J. B. Steffey and his wife, 2928 N. Dearborn St., last summer. A burglar entered the Steffey home, beat both the Steffeys with e chunk of concrete and ran, with Steffey In pursuit. Police said Mrs. McCormick was divorced from Steffey before she married McCormick. Detectives also are investigating the hold-up of the Exeter garage, 2tel N. Illinois St., early today. Thomas ,Goodlow, Negro, of 1541 Northwestern Ave., night man, said that while ho was working two men, one of them carrying a tire, came into the garage. One of the men asked him to fix the tire and as he took it the otheg man pointed a large revolver at him. “You ought to have a good day and lots of money here,” one of the men said as his companion looted the cash drawer of nearly S7O. After taking the money the man tore the telephone from the wall and fled through the front door while his companion left through the hack door. Goodlow said he did not know if the men escaped in an auto. Description of the two garage bandits tallies in some details with the description of the Haag slayers. Police also continued their roundup of suspicious persons for questioning. ordered by Inspector AVorley. Thirteen were arrested late AA'ednesday. NINETEEN CARS STOLEN Auto thieves were active AVednesday night. Reports show nineteen autos, valued at $.720, were stolen. Fbur valued at sl.l no wore recovered.

EDITOR AND DRY AGENI SOUGHT (Continued From rage 1) the Federal agent to cooperate with him In a plan to permit Reid to pose as a newspaper reporter and purchase liquor from Evansville bootleggers. AVinkler said that would be satisfactory. loiter Sanders'appeared at the prohibition offices and was Introduced to Deputy Administrator Harris. It is understood that Sanders made the same request of Harris and that through E. C. Yellowley. Thirteenth district administrator. Rifford and another agent were sent to Evansville. Then the agents were called from the city and left several packages of booze, to he used as evidence, with a business man in the hotel where they were staying. This man's suite of room was raided by county authorities and the cached evidence taken. Called Before Jury The agents, Sanders and Joseph Huffington. Evansville politician, were called before the Federal grand jury here about ten days ago, but could produce no evidence. Since then RifTord has continued making arrests, but United States Commissioner Charles Harman will not arraign the men without affidavits, which Rifford cannot produce. The latest action of Rifford was the arrest of Clyde Reece, Evansville Press reporter. This has created quite a stir, because of Sanders’ moves, as editor of the opposition paper, with the Federal agents. Local United States Commissioner Fae A\\ Patrick, said to have issued “John Doe" warrants for the Evansville arrests, refused to comment on the warrants or the situation.

CHEVROLET Dour Sirs —I received the two Vaporizer Decarbonizers O. K. and am well pleased with them. On the Chevrolet. 1 made 79 miles on 2 gallons of gasoline. Very truly yours, GEO. W. ALLEN. OLDSMOBILE Dear Sirs—Yesterday morning we made a test on an Oldsmobile Sedan, securing 34% miles to a gallon, w hereas the former test was about 15ERB & THOMPSON.

CHRYSLER FOUR Gentlemen —After testing a “Stransky” gasoline saver and decarbonizer on my Chrysler 4, 1926, w-ill say I would not be without one. Increasing my mileage approximately 50 per cent per gallon is not the only reason I am satifled with it. After the gasoline mixture was made “leaner” by one full turn of the carburetor adjustment, I started my car in high gear from a dead stop and In one-half block was doing 36 miles. This device added pep, power and a quick getaway, yet using much less gasoline.JACK ROS3.
