GRAND JUR Y MEMBER, FOREMAN SELECTED ,

ARE YOU WILLING?

' Shall the future of Indianapolis be sacrificed that a few former county treasurers, powerful in State politics, may retain the interest they have drawn on Barr.ett law funds? That is the simple proposition as written into the measure now on its way toward passage in the State Senate and likely to pass. The Barrett funds are raised from assessments for special taxes. The county treasurers have pocketed the interest on them. In this county it is worth more than the salary of President Coolidge. There are suits brought by Alvali Rucker to force the regrn of this interest. While the treasurers have pocketed the interest, the fund itself has created a deficit. In this county it is anywhere from a half million to a million of dollars, so it is asserted. No one seems to know exactly. The politicians, hoping to retain the interest they have already permitted the treasurers to collect, if not to get it in the future, now propose that no one may pay for improvements in cash after once asking for time. They believe that many will want to do so. They propose to tax them for this privilege in the form of interest for the full ten-year period under which the Barrett law operates. They are naive enough to suggest that this additional’ tax on the people who want to pay will wipe out the deficit. That would, of course, imperil the growth and development of this city. It would be a hindrance to improvements. It would imperil the growth of the city. Are you willing to take this method of feeding the political machine and covering up the past? If not, see your Senator.

Big Needles and Pins Men Peeved WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—-Pro-tests by husbands an\j fathers agauist the Yankee maid’s devotion to shorn tresses and scanty garb are being echoed by the “big needles and pins men,’’ a Commerce Department biennial report indicated today. Hairpins, safety pins, snap fasteners and clasps, once a necessary part of feminine equipment, are not reaping the rewards they did in 1923, the report shows. Even the lowly toilet pin, oncebought in huge lots by milady, is falling in production, while hooks and eyes and knitting machine needles ar.e slightly on the upgrade. Taking all the above articles into consideration the 1925 figure shows a drop of 17.9 per cent from the 1923 total. The figure was $18,173,574.

BANK LOANS BOY $2 FOR DOG HOUSE Lad of 12 Plans to Work After School Is Out in Financing Kennel. Bu United Prow WEST ORANGE, N. J.. Feb. 28. —Having applied the principles of big, business to the task in hand, Otto N. Szant, 12, today awaited arrival from a mail order house of a kennel for “the best dog in the world.” Otto’s first “flier” was taken in the West Orange Trust Company. He entered the bank with his savings of several months and asked the cashier to it. “You have $3.89,” said the cashier. The boy’s face clouded. ‘“I need $5 to buy a kennel for the best dog in the world,” he said. “My folks won’t let me keep him if 1 don’t get it. I want a loan of $2.00.” The cashier referred the matter to President Walter D. Van Riper. Otto explained his project. “I want to give a—whaddyacallit—a promissory note for $2 at interest of 6 per cent,” he said. “What security?” asked Van Riper. “Well, I intend to work after school.” So the loan was made with “initiative, confidence and personality” as security, a cashier’s check for $5 was sent off to the mail order eonlpany and the little financier went home to tell his dog.

MURDER COMMON I AS CUBA FIGHTS ORGANIZED LABOR American Federation Official Depicts Bloody Methods of Machado. Editor’s Note: For more than two months protests fro mCubans have been lodged with representatives of the American labor movement and the Pan-Amer-ican labor movement. They have come from workers and from men holding high position in Cuba. Intimations of a serious situation have appeared over a period of several . months, in leading Spanish language newspapers outside of Cuba. Kindly, Chester M. Wright. English language secretary of the Pan-American Federation of Labor, formerly on the personal staff of Samuel Gompers and a labor writer of long standing, went to Cuba to investigate. He has returned with an amazing story of terrorism, as. Bassination. imprisonment and exile. His findings, tolowing a report to President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, are presented in a series of articles, of which this is the first. By Chester M. Wright English Language Secretary of the PauAmerican Federation of Labor. ' WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—A whispering terror spreads over the republic of Cuba today, the result of more than a year of despotic repression, assassination,- imprisonment, deportation and corruption. President Gerardo Machado, having proclaimed his ambition, first to crush and eradicate organized labor, and second, to make himself the Mussolini of the Island republic, Is making good both aspirations. How this condition has been kept from the knowledge of the world is a mystery only until conditions in Cuba are examined on the ground and the power* of the National Government seen as it is in operation. I am, I believe, the first American to follow the trail of murder and brutality that has been laid from Havana on through the rich Interior of the island, leaving homes desolate, and a population practically inarticulate. J 9 Voices Hushed For days I met men in secret, talked in undertones, went to outlying places to see those who would under no circumstances be seen with me in any public place, finding in all that time only three Cubans who dared sit in public and discuss the condition of things. I do not know how many men have been slain as the result of this war on labor unions during the past year, how rriany are missing nor how many have been exiled and deported. The number killed is variously fixed at from 250 to 400. The effort to throw fear Into workingmen has gone 4 beyond the destruction of unions, and the assassination of officers and leaders. t It h£!) measures Obviously designed to create mass fear. There have been wanton murders of workers who knew nothing of organization, the most amazing instance having betn in the slaughter of sixty plantation work ers—a matter of common knowledge in Cuba, which will be discussed furher later. In the same manner there have ben assassinations for political purposes. Lese majesty is one cf the high crimes in Cuba today. It is impossible to know how many murders there have been, or how many imprisonments and deportations. That there have been many is certain. The very terror itself piakes Inquiry difficult and definite totals impossible to secure. It is not possible to go to public officers and secure statistics. Facts must be obtained by seeking out individuals, one here, one there. To complete the story it would be necessary to get from town to town, throughout Cuba, seeing hundreds of men. learning from them who of their friends have gone, and how, and where. 100 Known Slayings To my own satisfaction I have established approximately 100 cases of assassination and disappearance, nearly all of these having been officers oY leaders of labor unions. I have the testimony of unusually reliable and credible witnesses that 214 former employes of the Cuba railroad, all union men, have dropped from sight and that money remains due them from the company in sums ranging from $5 to S3O per man. No worker in Cuba today leaves money uncollected voluntarily. These disappearances came In the month following the railroad-strike of a year ago. In addition, sixteen officers of the railroad brotherhoo i were imprisoned in the district, of which Camagugy is the center. A number of disappearances among these men I verified as undoubted assassinations. As far as labor unions are concerned, not a single union is functioning freely, fully and normally in Cuba today. Following an almost general proscription, unions are shadowy organizations, where they exist at all. Not a single organization dares make a demand of any kind. Union men told me that as recently as three weeks ago they were warned In the office of the secretary of gobernaeion (Interior) “Strike, and you die.” No one voices criticism publicly. FORMER SENATOR DEAD - Dr. George C. Woods, 75, formerly Senator from Tipton County about twelve years ago, died at 3:30 a. m. today at his home in Windfall, Ind. Dr. Woods was a practicing physician for several years,, but he recently retired and devoted his time to work on his farm in Tipton County. He was formerly superintendent of Tipton County schools and county auditor. The high school at Windfall is built on ground given by Dr. Woods and is named in his honor. He is survived by the widow and two daughters, Mrs. Howard Tate, Los Angeles, Cal., and Mrs. W. A. Barrett, 316 E. Forty-Ninth St. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge at -Windfall and the Baptist Church.

This exclusive NEA picture shows IJta, the artist. She is shown in the living room of the beauti fu| Chaplin mansion, working on a drawing.

But She Is Also Working on Novel Planned for Publication. Editor's Note: Lita Grey Chaplin—pretty actress and wife of the world s famous* comedian—that's the Lita the world has known heretofore. In this third article of an exclusive eerie*. Den Thomas reveals her as a very interesting young woman ol varied talents and ambitions. He alrcac y has pictured her as a remarkable mother. Tile series will conclude with a fourth article by Thomas tomorrow. By I)an Thonius Time* staff t'xrrett),indent (Copyright, 1927. NBA Service./Inc.) HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Feb. 28 —To fill some of the long, lonely hours she spends in the Chaplin mansion on Beverly Hills, Mrs. Charlie Chaplin is writing & novel. The hours are busy enough during the day when sons Charlie Jr. and Sydney are awake and must be bathed and dressed and fed and amused. But with lamplight come long, empty hours. It is then that Mrs. Chaplin gets to her desk and her novel. “It is a thrilling crook story based on a notorious criminal case in this country,” she explained to me. Mrs. Chaplin says she has already written 15,000 words. “It’s a lot of fun,” the 19-year-old wife said, "and if it's successful I’m going to try another book.” Being an author may lie Lita Grey Chaplin’s substitute job for that of being the wife of the world’s greatest comedy artist. “I would just love to be an author,” says she. "I have written several short stories just for my own amusement, and it never occurred to me to write for money until things happened and I needed money.” Writing Life Sfory Mrs. Chaplin is writing something else. too. “The Story of Lita Grey Chaplin’s Life.” It begins back in 1915 when, just a little girl of 7, she first met Charlie Chaplin. And it goes on, chapter after chapter, to tell the story of a girlhood colored by a girl's dreams of romance and ending with her marriage to the art world's “greatest catch,” Charlie Chaplin. But the very suggestion of selling these pages from her heart brings terror to her eyes. “Not. for any amount of money —not for all the money in the world —would I sell this book,” she says. “That is for just myself. lam Writing it for later years when I want a record of the perplexing years I spent as Mrs. Charlie Chaplin. I work on it every day. Sometimes I smile over it, and sometimes I cannot.” Mrs. Cfiarlie Chaplin loves to talk of her writing and her language study. Still rankles her husband’s summary of “a beautiful but dumb” wife. Paints and Draws Her story of her novels is capped by a childishly naive display of her drawings and water color paintings, many of them upon the tapestried walls of the mansion side by side with great masterpieces. “Charlie liked my paintings,” she confided to me. “He would often say, ‘Lita., you do remarkable work! Where do you get your ideas for such originality? And there is not a trace of the amateur in them!’ “I have always drawn; even before I could write I drew little pictures and I don’t know where I get my ideas. I generally sit by the west window of my room and thoughts just seem to come to me out of the air.” The mother of Charlie Chaplin's babies hopes her sons will have “the artistic temperament.” She makes it Very plain that this temperament could be bequeathed from her, the mother, as well as from their illustrious father. “I would love to have one paint and draw, and I hope that one will be a great actor like his father—” Mfs.

Likes Dogs More; They Don’t Golf Bu United Pres* NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—Mrs. Sidmon McHie always did like dogs because, as she put It, “I feel as If the only thing in the world which hasn’t bitten me is a dog.” Now she has anew reason for being fond of them—they don’t play golf. She made a will recently leaving all her money to the society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for a memorial hospital with a marble bust of herself to surmount an urn holding her ashes and her husband's, with the inscription: "The more I saw of Jiumans, the more I thought of dogs.” She admitted today she had made anew will, but the contents she refused to reveal. It’s (ill because McHie, broker, took up golf. After that, she saw him so seldom she decided not to see him at all. She said 3he planned to go to Asia and leave him to his links. She denied she would seek a divorce in Paris.

PHYSICIAN PIECES UP MEMORY FOR VICTIM Wife’s First Name and Home Phone Number Only Clews. ,fI NK\V N. J., Feb. 28.—Minus his automobile, wallet and watch and still suffering from amnesia, Rea Henry Dwyer, pharmacist, was to day sent back to his home at Huntington, W. Va., by a physician, who learned the name and address of the amnesia victim by piecing together a number, a first name and the address on a suit of clothes worn by the stranger. Dwyer walked into the office of Dr. W. Edgar Sherman, his mind a total blank. He repeated the number 24,130 over and over Dr. Sherman asked if he could remember anything else. “I can remember the number 24,130 and the name Holly, but nothing more,” he said. The physician called the Huntington telephone exchange and asked if they had any dial telephones there. They had, so he called the number "24,130.” “Is theue any one there by the name of Holly?” the physician asked. “Yes,” said the person at the phone, “that’s the name of Mrs. Dwyer.” “Is your name Dwyer?” asked Dr. Sherman. "Yes, that’s me,” said the struriger in his office. At St. Peter's hospital here, where he was taken by Dr. Sherman, Dwyer gradually recovered more of his memory, and today the phyiscian ordered that he be placed with an escort and taken 6ack to Huntington. “I think he was the victom of foul play,” Dr. Sherman told the United Press. “’He was apparently on the Lincoln highway Just outside of New Brunswick, when his automobile and his personal possessions were taken from him.’’

Collett Changes Reason for Resigning as Head of Probe Body. ILL HEALTH BLAMED Action Follows Conference of Collins, Remy. Charles Clark, 2514 Station St., a former railroad engineer, was named grand jury foreman by Criminal Court Judge James A. Collins this morning and J. F. Chamberlain, 1336 W. Thirtieth St., was appointed a jui’or. Chamberlain takes the place on the Jury of John D. Collett, retired attorney, 25 E. Thirty-Third St., who resigned last week giving as his reason that he was forced to devote his entire time to personal matters. Collett was jury foreman. Today, however, Collett changed his resignation to read that he resigned on account of ill health, Judge Collins said. Collins, Remy Confer This followed a conference earlier in the morning between Collins and Prosecutor William H. Remy and Deputy Prosecutor W. H. Sheaffer. Remy and Sheaffer pointed out to Collins that the reason Collett gave for resigning was not a legal one as the statutes provide only that firemen, ministers, persons in ill health or who have members of their family dead or in ill health, or persons over 60 who have personal reasons, can be excused from jury service. With Collett’s ‘‘business reasons” resignation On the record any indictments returned by the jury would be illegal. “I had Mr. Collett come In this morning and amend his resignation to read because of ill health. I did that to prevent any trouble.” Collins said later. ' j Relay in Inquiry Delay in resumption of the investigation of Indiana political corruption, involving D. C. Stephenson, begun by the last jury, which recommended It lie continued, was seen in the remark of Judge Collins to Deputy Prosecutor Sheaffer that he understood sixty-three persons were in the bounty jail waiting for the grand jury to act on their cases. Sheaffer said he had thirty or forty Indictments ready to be returned. Collett admitted that he resigned because of dissension in the Jury, but refused to say whether the dissension was on resumption of the corruption probe. It is known, however, that Sheaffer has been urging the jury to start on the graft probe. Several weeks ago Collett informed the judge the jury was ready to begin, but no further action was taken. Chamberlain was chosen to serve on the. Jury from a venire of eight who appeared In court.

EIRE PREVENTION CHIEF INSPECTS SITE FOR HOME ‘They Shall Not Move/ New Slogan in Detention Building Sight. "They shall not move." This was the battle slogan of the county council today in reference to attempts of majority faction County Commissioners Charles O. Suttofuand Cassius L. Hogle, to relocate the Detention Homo at the Holloway Apts., 225 E. Michigan St. The commissioners Dec. 29 leased the building for uso after rellngulshing the one at 1102 N. Capitol Ave., March 10, Council members based their statement on the fact that fire prevention chief Horace W. Carey today verbally declared the Michigan St., location a “fire hazard.” Visit Building Carey, Council President George N. Montgomery, Juvenile Court A Judgo Frank J. Lahr, and minority V Commissioner George Snider, Saturday visited tho place. Carey found tho building not to be ‘‘fireproof” as Commissioner Sutton had described it. He discovered the stairway in the building and the rear staircases were narrow, zigzag and constructed of wood. Saturday The Times pointed out the fact that two persons could not descfcnd the rear stairs at one time. Carey told Montgomery that the “tire hazard” of the stairs was "extremely great.” Carey said the matter would be taken up with the State fire marshal. He said facts discovered in the visit Saturday will be given tho prosecutor. “That place looks pretty bird.” Carey stated. “I do not think tho commission* ers oven will attempt to move to the new location,” Montgomery declared. “If Carey’s report doesn’t stop them, perhaps the fact that a lease made without an appropriation is illegal may do it.” Edwards Made Deal The commissioners contracted with James Edwards, council member and member of the real estate firm, Edwards & Edwards, to pay $350 a month rental for the building. At present the rental of the home is $325. Councllmen declared they ; "will not make the additional appropriation.” Members of the council also will resist any move of the commissioners to get appropriations for 11 • m pairing or altering the building tofl make it suitable for use. Following the visit Saturday, Judge Lahr declared the place was "unsuitable.” Ho pointed out that each of the apartments, containing six rooms, were not large enough to house the children. “There art no large rooms except front ones in each apartment,” he stated. "There is no room larger , enough for a dining hall that could be supervised by one person.” Snider said the proper move would * be to retain the present building un-. til anew structure is erected. Hogle and Sutton promised Judge Lahr that anew downtown detention!* home will be erected within a year. ? Man Prefers Death to Being a Father Bu United Pre** NYACK, N. Y..
