‘LAZYBANDIT’HELD, CONFESSES HOLD-UPS

LATIMER DEEMS NICARAGUA PEACE OUTLOOK BETTER American Naval Officer Sees Gradual Trend Away From Strife. By William Philip Simms Scripps-Howard Staff Correspondent CORINTO, Nicaragua, Jan. :il.— (By Wireless.) —In what lie himself described as a “not pessimistic’’ mood, Admiral Latimer is today bound for Panama aboard the flagship Rochester. The commander of the American forces in these waters has just had three days of conferences in Managua, seat of the conservative Diaz government. He carried with him from Puerto Cabezas to Managua a complete statement of the peace terms of the liberal Sacasn government. "I'm oot given to prophecy, but 1 am convinced that the situation is slowly growing better,” he said today as he boarded a tender 1o go aboard ship. “I believe the country is gradually working toward peace.” Argues Against Using ‘Big Stick’ By William Philip Simms. (By mail from Puerto C'abezaa, Nicaragua > “United States leadership in Latin America can be maintained in only one of two ways—by friendship or by force. Which way will it .choose’/” Dr. Juan B. Sacasa, Liberal president of Nicaragua, now at war with the Conservative president, Diaz, at MaYtagita, was talking to me at ids headquarters. Tali, slender, dressed in a gray-brown Palm Beach suit, and wearing rimless eye glasses, he might easily have been taken for an American professor. The effect was enhanced by his close-cropped graying mustache and iron gray hair, parted on the side, lie looks the scholar. Expecting no answer to his question, he went on talking. “A parent can whip his child severely and often, arid through fear secure obedience. But buck of that obedience is resentment, very little love and sooner or later there Is trouble. Never is there any very ; profitable cooperation between such a parent and such a child, and the child gives a minimum of service. IBs real friendship goes to others. "On the other hand, if the parent cultivates the companionship of the child and by marks of affection win its respect and love, cooperation is j spontaneous and both profit accordingly. U. S. as “Big Brother" "The relationship between the limited States and Nicaragua—and all the other Latin-American countries, WBtt. as small—is, of course, jXfiiT.2}.filEo7iat of parent and child, bUC.'lt ils similar. Big brother, I believe, Is the term. But the illustration applies just 'the same.* The United States is powerful enougli to compel obedience, but in the long run the interests of all concerned would be'far better served by a policy of cooperation and friendship, all ! around. "I quite understand it is a matter even of national security for the 1 United States to be the dominant factor in the western hemisphere and how, under the circumstances, it would be dangerous were it to stand by and permit some other great, overseas power to take first place in this half of the world. "But I cannot admit that the only way to maintain .that leadership is with a big stick. “For instance, why' doesn't the United States send some of its bright, well-educated young men into all the Latin-American countries to live with them and study the psychology of the peoples, their susceptibilities, and the best means of getting on their good side? Ignorant “Expert" "As it is, a young secretary of'legation comes out , stays a few months or a couple of years, or to, at most, moves in official circles all the while, then returns to Washington an ’expert.’ He really knows nothing about the people or their political sentiment. "Why should we not change professors. Why should there not be scholarships, totaling several hundred annually, for Latin-American boys in American universities? "You see I know, for I myself graduated at Georgetown University at Washington. I was an Interne in a New York hospital. I boarded in a middle class American family, and as a secretary of legation at Washington I mixed with the official sets. I know Americans well. I know what Is being done now is the work of a mere handful, not the American people, so I do not hate America for it. I know the people do not know and I am sad, not angry. “Which is why I say intellectual intercourse between the countries should be fostered for all it is worth, and In time it will be productive of immense good." MAN ATTACKED AT HOME Victim Suffers Fractured Skull— Police Armed With Clew. A vicious attack on William Bailey, 29, of 716 S. Illinois St., was investigated by police today. Bailey was found unconscious by James Smallwool, of the same address, lying near the back door.

i DEMOCRATS MAY DEMAND REPORT ON PROBE BIEL Committee ‘Too Busy’ to Take Action, Says Chairman Harris. Democratic members of the Inin na House of Representatives may sk the House to vote with them on lie Saunders "probe” resolution inroduced Jan. 19. Referred to Judiciary A Committee, of which Glenn Harris (Rep.), ' .uke County, is chairman, the resoution asking for an investigation of barges agqinst the State highway tmmission and State board of acrounts (find of the Marion County ;rand jury which returned an unwfcual report, with no indictments, after an extended investigation of alleged “Stephensonism,” has quietly reposed in committee. Harris “Busy” Daily requests as to the probable time of reporting the committee's pleasure to the House have elicited the information from Harris that “my committee, is very busy, but will get to it soon.’” Supporters of the measure feel they have a right to discuss the matter in the open and want an opportunity to do so. Such an opening would come with the reporting of the resolution. Harris conferred with Atty. Gen. Arthur L. Gilliom in an effort to get an opinion as to how far the committee could go in the way of calling in witnesses. it is believed thgt the resolution will be reported with the recommendation that the investigating committee when and if appointed, hear only such evidence as would be competent in a court of law. This would preclude yie admission of any evidence tending to lead the way to any objective. Evidence Impounded Such a course would bar all testimony save that of those present at any of the alleged transactions. The evidence heard by the Marion County grand jury from early in October to the end of December, 1926, was impounded by Criminal Judge James A. Collins immediately after dismissal of the grand jury. In the final report of the grand jury, which it is reported stood four to two for returning indictments, reference was made to unusual conditions existing in the grand jury. ATTACK PAVING Expert Declares Asphalt Specifications Skimp. The plan under consideration by the board of Works to cut the top course of asphalt paving from one and one-half inches to one inch is unpractical Hugh D. Skidmore, Chicago paving Laboratories, Inc., held at a board meeting Monday. Skidmore, who represented the asphalt interests cited the experience of other cities, showing that specifications universally adopted call for one and one-half inch of asphalt with a one and one-half inch binder on a six-inch concrete base. He stated that the mixture of the concrete base should be one part of cement, three parts sand and three parts gravel. Walter J. Krjull, representing cement interests, said that this mixture would be too lean and not hold up under traffic. He urged that the board adopt one part cement, three parts sand and three and one-half parts gravel as a formula for the base. Concrete men will be heard Wednesday. A decision on the street specifications will be reached Friday, President Roy C. Shaneberger said.

Democratic Editors to Hear Reed

Senator James A Reed Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, wlio conducted the probe into Indiana politics, will be the guest of the Democratic editors of the State at a dinner at the Claypool Feb. 15. Announcement of his acceptance of an invitation to speak in Indiana was announced by Earl Peters, chairman of Die Democratic party. Senator Reed is now widely discussed as a possibility for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1928 and is heralded as the “last leader of liberty” by his admirers. FRANKFORT HEARS COMMISSION RAP Rucker Asks End of Machine Political Control. Bit Times Suer in l FRANKFORT, Ind., Feb. I.—Declaring that the public service commission should be abolished because it has become a commission /or operators of utilities, Alvah J. Rucker, former Indianapolis city corporation conusel, Monday night urged Frankfort citizens to help free the State “once and forever” from the Walb-Jackson machine control. Rucker addressed a large meeting in the Methodist Church community building and was highly applauded. Rucker told of his vain fight against the merger of the Merchants Heat and Light Company and the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company at Indianapolis; of how a commissioner stayed up all night rushing through an order authorizing the merger on a $40,000,000 basis. “This case' is but a sample of many that could be cited,” he declared. “Mergers are everywhere and the charges are as high as the traffic will bear. Unless the public throws off machine domination, it will never receive a square deal as long as the commission exists.” PRICE OFEGGS DROPS') CENTS Quoted From 45 to 50 a Dozen at Market.. Eggs dropped 5 cents at city market today. Graded according to size, eggs sold from 45 to 50 cents a dozen. There were no other changes in the price of foodstuffs today.

UTILITY LAWYER CUARGES DOGGING BY LEGISLATORS Moorhead Bill Likened to Attempt to Control Entire Universe. That Indiana legislators would be trying to “control the universe, next,” and that there is neither need nor excuse for such legislation as proposed in the hill of Senator Robert L. Moorhead, providing for election of members of the public service commission and incorporating many of the features of the hill of former Commissioner Samuel Altman, introduced two years ago, was the comment of William A. Melnerny, veteran utility lawyer and lobbyist, before Judiciary A Committee of the Sonato at a public hearing Monday night. Other utility men appeared against the measure, while the author and William Rosson, former city attorney, spoke in its favor. The Moorhead bill is one of a se. ries seeking to alter or abolish the public service commission. A utility man, Henry Barnhart, Rochester, Ind., Indiana Telephone Association head, proposed a middle course, such as the Ketchum bill, which would make a two-thirds Senate approval of commissioners' appointments necessary. Robert I. Marsh, bus operators’ attorney. and Arthur W. Brady, Anderson, Union Traction Company receiver. were among others appearing against the hill. March termed it “another mad ripper” measure. It was announced that Senator James J. Nejdl. Whiting, would introduce an amendment to the present law to provide sos court appeals. This will bring the total number to seven. The most far reaching is the Cann bill, calling for complete abolition of body. Which is ready for second reading whenever Senator Howard A. Cann, its author, so desires. SEND GENE BACK TO MOTHER,PLEA (Continued From Fage 1) killed John .1. Buchanan, the Negro traffleman, in self-defense: a lad scared to death because he had been shot in the leg while fleeing from illegal auwt. “Why 4 Eratf a prurwun I was a boy,” Smith declared, defending Alger's right to carry the pistol with which he shot Buchanan. “Why Will Remy did, too.” Reiny Shakes Head But Remy shook his head and the crowd laughed. “I don't know where the State got its story that Gene obtained the gun in a card game at Kllenberger park. - ’ "If Gene said It. he must have been in delirium. They don't play cards in Kllenberger Park. Gene took that gun ffom his younger brother, who got it for Fourth of July. He was on his way to pawn it,” Smith declared. The attorney blamed Alvin Ford, owner of the Chevrolet car, who apprehended Alger firfit “for fooling around his and Trdffleman John Mosbey, the officer who arrested him. “for starting the fireworks.” “Under the laws of Indiana, Ford had no right to arrest Alger,” Smith declared. He then charged that Mosebey did lay hands on the youth when Ford turned him over to him. “Alger had no reason or motive to steal that car. Witnesses have told you of his good name. Is it reasonable he would suddenly change to a life of crime in a few minutes. “I feel sorry for Ford. He got him*

But Ford had a detective’s commission. lie had never made an arrest. He thought it was about time to begin. So lie walked over to Gene and asked him what he- was doing to that car. And Gene said: ‘l’m not stealing this car. I'm not doing anything.' Record Crowd The greatest crowd in the history of tlie Hendricks County courtroom Monday afternoon heard Jndson L. Stark. Marion County chief deputy proseebtor open final arguments for the State. He dramatically re-cn-acted the fatal shooting of the officer at the Beyer House 225 ’ N. j Capitol Ave. He was followed by At- | torney John T. Huine of Dapville, who Is aiding the prosecution. “I am not thirsty for human blood,” Hume declared, “but human life in Indiana must be protected." “In the light of the crime wave that is almost sweeping us off our feet, a reform is needed. Warns Against Sympathy “Any fleeting sympathy you may I have for the defendant must be discounted: it seals the fountain of justice; it thwarts administration of the law.” “There will be pleas for mercy for Alger. Is he worthy of mercy? What pity or compassion did he have- for Buchanan? The mercy lie showed to Buchanan, show that mercy to him.” Hume went over the different of the youth's defense. He •-pomled out that the advantages I Gene had had in college and high school should have upude him inimunte to suggestions of crime; that his youth should not be considered as “that is apparently the right age for crime these days.” He t>oin,ed to the widow of Buchanan, who sat weeping in the courtroom, and after an eloquent tribute to the dead officer declared Mrs. Buchanan would “suffer all her days for this crime of Gene Alger's.” “Gene Alger on the morning of July 9 conducted himself in a way that Jesse James would have been ashamed of,” Hume declared. Stark pictured Alger as a youth who went out presumably to hunt work, yet armed to kill, who carried overalls, presumably to wear when he got the job, but more reasonably to wear in driving away from Indianapolis in a stolen auto; who. trapped in a closet, placed a revolver against a door and fired at somebody he almost knew was an officer; fired without warning. Stark told how Gene Alger shot another man while lying flat on his face, of sticking a gun in a woman’i back and telling her to drive like hell: a youth who stopped at nothing in his way. Stark began his opening statement after Judge Edgar Blessing overruled a motion of the State to reopen the case to permit a newly discovered eye-witness to the shooting t"> testify. Stark, in opening the argument, declared that if Gene Alger one moment before he fired the shot that killed Buchanan premeditated murder. he was guilty. “There is legal assumption, too, that he meant to kill when he carried this gun,” Stark said, waving the gun with which Alger shot the officer. “This young man was way past the line of accountability," he declared. “This young man with advantages, with high school and college training, was not in dire need of money. His father was working as a railroad man, at least for a reasonable wage; his mother was working. "This young man started on a quest for work with a revolver he had drawn in some sort of a game. It had also been said he got the gun from his younger brother. He knew that gun was loaded. He also knew he had cartridges. The defendant also had a small piece of steel with him necessary when he wanted to reload the gun. He knew what he had that piece of steel for. “With this gun, this piece of steel, he started >ut to hunt work. ®COLD Hftr' today —it may be the FLU tomorrow don’t trifle—don’t wait Sure Relief in a Few Hours PAPE’S COLD COMPOUND (LAXATIVE)
