Co-Ed Bank Bandit’s Sanity Questioned

Marion Meyers

Bn United Press _ . VERMILION, S. D., Feb. B.—The question of whether Miss Marian Meyers, coed who was captured while attempting to rob the First National Bank, will be held In the county jail or removed to the State hospital at Yankton "for observation" still was undecided today. The county Insanity commission late yesterday ordered the girl taken to the hospital, but State’s Attorney H. O. Perkins and the county sheriff both have expressed an unwillingness to permit the girl to leave the county jail. She is unable to make $1,500 ball on a third degree robbery charge. At the time of her capture Miss Meyers, who entered the University of South Dakota last fall, told officers she planned the hold-up in order to obtain money to enable her to complete her education. . REVEAL SOURCE OF MYSTERIOUS PITTENGER BILL Representative ‘Up a Tree’ on Whether or Not to Introduce Measure. Authorship of the so-called Pittenger bill, which would delay all legislative action on public utility matters for two years while five members spend slo,ooo'making a national survey. Was traced today to Lawrence Cartwright, Republican politician; Fred A. Simms, a utility tax expert, and Representative Lemuel A. Pittenger. Monday Pittenger made a statement that the bill liaVi been handed him by a “mysterious stranger” whose flame he could not remember. Makes Denial Later in the day he denied having made any statement that It had been given him by a lobbyist for utilities. Today his niemoag changed again. Then it was disclosed that. the msasip-e was drafted by Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom, who says he drew it at the request of Cartwright, Sinuns and Pittenger. In the line of his duties Gilliom draws many bills for members of the Legislature and he says that he is drafting many omitility subjects, diverse ill their nature. Ho does not pass upon their advisability, but limits his service to putting the suggestions into legal form. ‘Hip a Tree" Pittlnger ftiund himself in a dilemma, today. If lie fails to introduce the bills, he .fears that, he called cowardly by those who urged this action. If he does introduce it. his neighbors back home threaten t.o call his action something equally unpleasant. The activity of Cartwright, one of the inner group of the Clyde AValb machine, is interpreted ns representing the purpose of the dominant machine to avoid an action which would offend the utility lobby which is working to prevent any change in the public service commission or its powers.

COOLIDGE IS OUT OF 1928 RACE, BUTLER Common Sense Prevents Entry, University Head Asserts. STRESS ON WET ISSUE Predicts Winner Will Be Foe of Drys. Bn United, Press , NEW YORK, Feb. B.—Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, in an address before th 6 Riverside Republican Club last nigjit, predicted President Coolidge would not be a candidate for president in 1938. JiOne of the President’s strongest characteristics,” Butler said "is common sense, and common sense dictates this course.” He disavowed any inside information. but said that he, as a “working Republican who Is both a personal friend and political supporter of the President.” was taking it for granted that Coolidge would not risk having the third term issue raised. "The Republican party,” be said, "is going to nave a hard enough time in 1928 without inviting certain defeat” by injecting the third term issue into the campaign. The next successful candidate for the Presidency must take a stand against prohibition. Dr. B.utlcr added. "The Eighteenth amendment has no place in the Constitution,” he said. ’ "The notion that either Governor Smith or Governor Ritchie, should he be the Democratic candidate, can be defeated by a Republican who is not openly opposed to prohibition is quite groundless,” the Columbia president continued. “For the first time since 1884, it seems likely that the presidential election will be settled In 1928 by the vote of the city of New York.” Dr. Butler also spoke of farm relief and foreign affairs. . "It will not do simply to say that the farm-prob-lem will solve itself if left alone,” he said. "There is no sign that this is true. "The great agricultural States have in the past been almost uniformly Republican In national elections. There are pretty positive signs that this will not be the cafcc In 1928 if the Republican party has neither-Candidates nor platform with any appreciation of the gravity of these questions and of the large number of voting citizens who are profoundly affected by them.” In the matter of foreign affairs, he asked for “a quick and definite return to the traditional policies” of McKinley and Hay, Roosevelt and Root and Taft.

Southard, county engineer, appointed consulting engineer of the Morris St. White River $1,100,000 flood prevention project, was said today to be the basis for the split between the majority commissioners and George Snider, the minorityThe break came openly Monday after Snider learned that a letter written Friday to the board of works gave approval of the commissioners body to the bridge project. The letter was signed only by Hogle and Sutton. According to City Engineer Chester C. Oberleas, the majority commissioners approached him and asked for the appointment of Southard immediately on the heels of their approval of the plans.

‘‘Wonderful. It's wonderful to be back in Indianapolis.” Smiling and not embittered by his deportation and recent experiences at Ellis Island. Bernard Shulgasser, Butler University student, returned to Indianapolis today. He went directly to Irvington and reported to President Robert Aley at Butler, before noon. “I’m most anxious to get back to my studies,” he explained. Shulgasser a native of Lithuania, was taken in custody here Jan. 18, by immigration officers, who said that he had violated his student immigration permit, by engaging in lucrative employment teaching of the violin. He entered this country in July, 192|j. Takes Down Sign By bis teaching, Shulgasser was paying his expenses at the university and also sending home money for the support of liis mother. "I didn't have any idea I was Infringing on any ruling at the time," Shulgasser explained. “I have not yet found what the yules are by W’hich I must abide here, but you can be sure I shall not do anything—teaching or otherwise —that will again interfere. I’ll take that down right away,” and he pointed to a sign, “Violin Teacher,” by the door, t “It was all a harrowing experience. The day the officers called for me I was studying "Paradise Lost.” That as at 2 p. nnv. At 4 I was at the depot and rom then on I was under a terrific strain. At Ellis Island I was detained in a room with 102 other immigrants, all waiting deportation. On Jan. 22, from lack of sleep and the mental strain, I became ill, and in spite of the fact that I knew I was to be pardoned, I couldn’t recover myself. I was sick nine days there.” Letter From Mother Shulgasser explained that he will try to get his A. B. degree here. "Then it is my hope to become a doctor of --philosophy—a teacher, maybe,” he added. Shulgasser is 23 years old. When he was only 16 he enlisted in the World War and was a soldier for sixteen months. “That was scarcely a more nerve racking experience than this deportation thought," he ruminated. A letter from his mother from Kalvarija, Lithuania, awaited him at the home of C. M. Burkhart, 209 S. Butler Ave., where Shulgasser has made his homo while in Indianapolis. *■

“No. mother did not know about all (his when she wrote the letter,” he explained. "I wote her from Ellis Island and told her she might see me soon.* She'll be mighty happy though to know I have been permitted to return here.” Shulgasser says he is not sure how he will keep up his further school expenses, now that he will not be allowed to teach. “Perhaps I can arrange with some of my good friends, who have faith enough in mo to trust my future efforts,” he said.

U. S. BLDG. FEARED AS MORE ‘Don’t Want Repetition of Squißb Affair,’ Says Winkler. HE SENDS IT TO JAIL' Dry Chief Would Safeguard $30,000 Seizure. Deputy Federal Prohibition Administrator George L. Winkler stored a $30,000 liquor haul in the Marion County jail today because he feared the liquor might he stolen from the Federal building if it were stored there.' The liquor, “about 1,250 bottles,” of bonded whisky, imported from Canada, was seized by Winkler at the Nickel Plate freight yard* late Monday. Wallace Anstess, 40, Box 441, on the Noblesvillo Rd., was arrested by Winkler and Sheriff Omer Hawkins when he admitted that he was the "Joseph Moran” to whom the liquor was shipped. Takes No Chance Winkler said tflie liquor was taken to the county jail for storage because “facilities arc better for safeguarding the liquor there. Asa matter of fact I didn’t want to tako a chance on having it stolen. I don’t want to take a chance of a repetition of tho Squibb's affair.” Some $54,000 worth of W. P. Squibb distillery liquor disappeared from tho Federal Bldg, while in the custody of United States Marshal Linus P. Meredith. Three Negro Federal Bldg, employes, a Negro tailor and a delicatessen store proprietor wero convicted of the theft after the disappearance was aired in the United States House of Representatives and reported exclusively for several days in The Times. “It Shall Not Pass” “Every drop dP this liquor will be destroyed,” Winkler declared. “It will all be at the county jail and The Times can make a check of it at any time.” /Group Chief Oscar Holman listed the booze seized..Winkler said, but is in Lebanon, Ind., today on another liquor case. & Ai stess declared ip a written confession before the dry chief that lie had paid $7,000 cash end $3,000 in checks for the cargo. It was received from a. city on the Canadian hordes, Winkler sajd. investigation being made there today. Other local arrests in connection wyth the suspected ring are expected momentarily, Winkler said. ‘“.Secret” Tip Winkler refused to disclose where he received the “tip” the liquor was at the freight yard. With Sheriff Hawkins be went to the freight yards, obtained the bill of lading for the shipment, and went to an express office, where they found Anstess arranging to have the liquor taken to his farmhouse residence, nine miles from the city <sn the Noblesville Rd. Anstess said he was expecting 300 gallons of alcohol in the shipment, the dry chief said, but evidently that is to arrive in a separate shipment. The man said ho bought the whisky with the expectation of selling it to visitors in the city for the Indianapolis auto show next week, according to Winkler. List of Customers A list of seventy-five or 100 “customers” was found in Anstess' residence. The Federal grand jury and prohibition officers will make an extensive investigation, of the customers list, and any others who might be involved in the plot to sell ihe liquor, United States Attorney Ward said. Tho liquor was packed in piano boxes labeled “dry goods.” and consisted of quarts and points of “Old Log Cabin” whisky, and several other varities of gin and other liquors. ♦ Anstess said he paid S7O a case for the whisky and $8 a gallon for the alcohol according to Winkler. At present bootleg prices h eijguld have sold the booze for at least $30,000. and by mixing and cutting the whisky and alcohol probably could havo realized a much larger sum. Tho man is said to have admitted arranging to store the shipment in an auto top repair shop. Two truck drivers at the freight depot for the booze were queslioned and released by officers when they said they knew nothing of the liquor.

Tests Confessional for Protestants Bu United Press NEW YORK, Feb. B.—The idea of a confessional for Protestant churches to minister to “sick souls” has been advanced by the Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, pastor of the Park Avenue Baptist Church. Dr. Fosdick disclosed that for six years he has maintained such a confessional and has given “comfort, consolation and advice” to those who sought “relief for the spirit.” Lack of a confessional In Protestant Churches, he said, is driving great numbers of persons to psychoanalysis. Persons might be saved from suicide by confession, he added.
