•Shortridge Mourns Four Girls Dead in Auto Crash

CREEDS JOIN IN UNION SERVICES IN CITY TONIGHT Bishop McConnell, Pittsburgh, to Address ‘Good Will’ Meeting. Congregations from Protestant. Catholic, Jewish and Negro churches will join in “Good Will Meeting” in the Armory, Pennsylvania arid Walnut Sts., at 7:30 this evening, when Bishop Franci% J. McConnell, eminent Methodist churchman and writer, will speak on "The Civic Values of Good Will." The meeting is under the auspices of groups from the Indianapolis federation of Churches, representing Protestant denominations, the Catholic churches, Jewish congregations and Negro churches. A half-hour's musical program by the Technical High School or- .< hestra will open the meeting. Babbi I.M. M. Feuerlicht, of the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, will offer the opening program. Bishop O'Connell will be introduced by Bishop H. 11. Pout, Indiana area, United Brethren Church. The Rev. 11. L. Herod, pastor Second Christian Church, Negro, will offer the closing prayer. Musical numbers will be interspersed by the Schola Cantorurn of SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral. Elmer Steffen, directing, and Frances B. Spencer, as accompaniest. Member of the various denominations joined in appeals today for a big attendance at the meeting. “The spirit of the divine Injunction to 'Love thy neighbor as thyself is essentially necessary in our beloved country in order to preserve unity of heart and purpose,” said Joseph A. McGowan, layman of the Roman Catholic Church. "Linked with such unity is the liberty guaranteed under our Constitution. It is as reprehensible in these days to try to divide communities by ignoble strife as it was sixty-seven years ago to have attempted to divide the North and South.” Rabbi Feuerlicht said: “In this meeting we will stand together, figuratively clasping hands, united in a spirit of good will and true religion. Religion unites men; it does not separate them. In matters of theology men may be divided and separated, but in matters of real religion men are united. The basis ,of genuine religion is good will. We k J more of it in our churches to* i lay. That is the object of tonight’s meeting. Dr. Ernest N. Evans, Church Federation secretary, said: "Bishop McConnell’s visit to Indianapolis is in the interest of good will among citizens of the city. Differences of opinion, business competition, political loyalties, can be most intense, yet brotherly. It is in this spirit only that difficult problems among people can be solved.”

IiraBUSILY (Continued From Page 1) the spelling program sponsored by The Times. it was Blanche who survived the strenuous spelling ordeal at Whittier school. It was a boy who pressed her to the limit. He Could Write It Bugale Mcßougal might have won the building championship had the contest been written for then certainly he would not have failed to capitalize the "R” in Russian. But the contest was oral and Bugale had been on the alert for all the tricks of words. He had come successfully through Jivo hours of oral spelling, in which ■>e had mastered all the words that had come his way, whether hard or easy. Then, off his guard for an instant, he was caught on “Russian.” Blanche Schoneker spelled it, capital and all. That crowned her queen. liorna Übell, seventh grade pupil, was the third member of the Whittier school trio who had perfect papers in the 50-word written bee Tuesday. She entered the oral bee, arranged by Principal Adda Wyrick, and remained for a long time before spelling “divide” with an extra “e,” “devide.” Stop Only to Eat When the oral spell-off contest began at 10:30 a. m. Tuesday, words were chosen from the eighth grade lists. Nothing there wou'd stop the trio. So, Principal Wyricl. dropped back to the seventh grade words. These failed to stop the spellers. Finally Lorna Übell stumbled and the contest simmered down to the boy and the girl. Finally sixth grade words were chosen. At noon the two determined youngsters had not weakened, so everyone went to lunch. At 1:15 p. m. the contest was resumed, but it was not until about 2 o’clock, while words were being called from the fourth grade pages, that Bugale Mcßougal dropped a capital and congratulated Miss Schoneker. The boy and girl who goes to Washington, at expense of the 'rimes, to compete in the national kantest must know his “caps and Slower case” just as they must be known by those who compete in the zone and State bees in May. Scotland’s greatest railway station, Waverley, Edinburgh, covers twenty acres and deals with more than 1,000 trainsa day. It’s largest platform is more than a mile in length.

Did You Ever Hear of Selling a Cemetery?

Even the dead can’t rest in peace when some politicians go after fees. Take the case of the seventy-five dead in the Hungarian Ohev Zedek cemetery, Kelley St. and Bluff Rd. The law says that church property from which no profit is derived is exempt from taxation. The cemetery is said by lawyers to fall within this category'. But when Mayor John L. Duvall was county treasurer in 1925, the records show that this cemetery was sold right off the dead bodies for the sum of $77.49, listed as “delinquent taxes.” The treasurer receives a percentage of delinquent taxes he collects. Two Other Attempts Furthermore, the records show, two other county treasurers tried in

years gone by to get away with the same thing but the sales were voided by county who would not stand for the sale of a tax free cemetery. Forty years ago a group of Hungarian Jews banded themselves together to worship their God. They wanted a place to bring their children up in the faith and a consecrated place In which to lay their dead to rest. They purchased the little plot on Bluff Rd. for the cemetery. And there, year after year, comforted in the thought that in free America this place would be inviolate, burled their children, fathers, mothers. Came the year 1913. Without the knowledge of the officers of the Hungarian church a tax title to thA cemetery ground was sold to Henry

ACHEY CONTEMPT TRIAL WITNESS (Continued From Page 1) me during Die first part of March,” Achey replied. "I met Armitage on N; Illinois St„ near the Brevort Hotel. I was going north and Mr. Armitage was coining south. He stopped and shook hands with me and asked me my name. I told him and he asked: ‘You’re a member of the Marion County grand jury aren’t you ?’ “I replied that I was and he said, ‘Well you ought to be in a position to make plenty of money.’ Achey said Armitage told l*im lie would like to get better acquainted with him and that lie might have "something interesting" for him later on. Near Poolroom At this point Remy attempted to bring out the proximity of the Winston poolroom on N. Illinois St., to the place whore Achey and Armitage met. Armitage spends much time around the poolroom. “I saw Armitage the next day In the same place,” Achey continued. “Armitage said he wasn’t interested in Bedford and Elliott, but was Interested in Duvall. He told me the proposition hadn't come to a point yet and lie couldn't say anything definite, but that there would be a change iit the city engineer's office in a few days and that there would be something good for ine then.” The men referred to. were Harvey Bedford, former traffic inspector, and Gforge S. Elliott, both of whom were active in Klan affairs and testified several times before the grand jury last fall and this spring. The change in the engineer's office referred to was made March 1 when Frank C. Lingenfelter succeeeded Chester C. Oberleas as city engineer. Achey told the court that “Armitage seemed to know what was going on in the grand jury room.” This was struck from the records on motion of Inman. Achey told of meeting Armitage at Missouri and New York Sts., by ai>poiptment. He said that Armitage drew up in a Lincoln automobile, and that he entered the car. “We drove out around Riverside park," Achey said. “He told me that he had a proposition to make. Remy asked the witness what Armitage had said. “Armitage told me that I could have a job at the city hall as inspector in the street department. He said the work wouldn't amount to much, three or four hours a day some days, and that it would pay $125 or $l5O a month. “What else did he say?” To “See Nothing” “He told me that I could make S6O or $75 a month on the side by seeing nothing and hearing nothing.” Coming back to the~original offer of the alleged bribe, Achey testified that Armitage told him that he would put $2,600 in the bank and that the deal would go through “unless he and his brother (William) both dropped dead at the same time, and if one of them died the other would go through.” “What did you have to do for this offer?” Remy asked. ‘‘Refuse to indict John I. Duvall,” Achey replied. Further conversation between

M. Hunt, Indianapolis, for $4.13, according to record. Not An Inkling Throughout all the strange proceedings which records show ensued the Hungarian churchmen say they never had an inkling of what was going on until Thursday when a great light dawned. The record shows that Henry M. Hunt failed to pay subsequent taxes upon the cemetery and again it was sold in a tax sale to persons listed as “Meek and Osborn.” The title then passed to W. C. Foster, Chicago, but the record shows the following entry: “Feb. 9. 1915. Void, used for Hebrew cemetery, W. T. Patten, auditor.” Thus ended the first raid upon the

By Eldora Field Less than twenty-four hours ago t in four Indianapolis homes, there | were bright hopes, the planning of j pretty graduation clothes, youth, happy laughter— In each of those homes today, relatives of the four Shortridge High School girls, Edith Jane Dyer, Elizabeth Ellis, Edith Mae Ellis and Mary Louise Jones, were sad \\ ith realization that the four young lives had been taken in tragedy. “It just can not be" —they say It over and over. Mother Is Prostrate. Prostration on the part of the mother of Mary Louise Jones has made- her friends fear for Mrs. Charles Jones of 2324 N. Pennsylvania St. “I'm afraid she will never get over this,” Mary's father said. “You see, Mary was her mother's idol. Our only daughter Mary has been especially dose and dear to ray wife.” Her mother already had the materials for Mary's graduation dollies. They had been planning and talking about it for weeks. “When I met my wife 'after the terrible news had come to me I tried to tell her that our daughter was injured. She never asked me what her injuries were. ‘I know. I know,’ she kept saying. ‘My little girl is dead. I can feel it. I know it.” I guess it was what you call a mother's intuition." Ring of Memory The father held a small gold ring, part of the gold gone and the stone crushed. “They took this off her finger.” he said, brokenly. "It was a. ring I

Achey and Armitage was narrated by the witness. Among other things he said that Armitage had predicted a change in the board of works. ‘‘Armitage said (hat two more of tlfe grand jurors would ’go along’ testified Achey, “and will play ball. You don’t need to worry about that.” A contractor was to sec one of the grand jurors, according to Aehey’s version of the conversation with Armitage, and someone whose name was not mentioned was to see another grand juror, according to the witness. Achey told of meeting Armitage several days later at Indiana Ave. and Illinois St., and arranging for a meeting at 3 p. m. that afternoon in Military Park. According to Achey “a fellow named Goza went along.” Armilage's car was said to have been parked at Ohio and West Sts., near the park. While Goza sat on a bench “I went way over to tlie other end near the canal,” said Achey. Tilings Going Wrong “Things are going against me,” was said by Achey to have been Armitage’s statement of greeting. The witness testified that Armitage said, “we are not going to get our appointment on the board of works. William H. Freeman (former member of the works board) talked too much in the grand jury room.” Armitage, according to the witness. seemed to krtow what Freeman had testified to and seemed convinced that the appointment would not go through. Throughout the questioning of Achey, Armitage sat with his arms folded, occasionally rocking back and forth in his chair with a satirical smile. The following day after the meeting in the park, they again met near

city of the dead. Another attack soon followed. The books show the cemetery sold for delinquent taxes to J. H. Hilgenberg for $46.80. The prioe was going up. Fesler Blocks Sale This, however, came to naught when on Dec. 7, 1923, Leo Jv. Fesler, then auditor, made this entry: “Void sale on account pf being church property and never taxable.” Despite these two voided sales with written explanation that the property was not taxable the records show that in 1925 the title in another tax sale passed to W. C. Foster. Chicago, for $77.49. This was during the regime of Duvall, the treasurer. On Feb. 10, this year, Foster as-

had given her when she was graduated from grade school. I was going to have a bigger stone put in it, but now she will never wear it.” Miss Jones was engaged to be married. “Because of her youth it would have been some time yet.” her 1 father observed. “But she was always so happy. Graduation, her coming marriage—so much to look forward to. llow can we ever bear it? We're thankful, though, that she I didn’t have time to suffer. That is our only consolation.” j In the home of the girl who was driving the fatal car—Miss Edith j Jane Dyer—the mother only moans 1 and is scarcely able to talk. # The girl’s brother, Thomas Dyer, a freshman at Indiana University, said that his sister was an excellent driver and had been for years. Birthday Party “We think though, mother and I, that Edith was driving faster than usual, to get back to a birthday dinner party for our small cousin, Gloria Miller. Gloria was 2 years old , yesterday and was to have a birthnay cake, 'i n be back by 6:30. I want to see what Gloria says when she sees the two randies on the : cake.’ she said. She was crazy ' about Gloria.” In the home of Elizabeth Ellis, the parents walk through rooms that had recently redecorated and refurnished in accordance with their beloved daughter’s ideas. Miss Ellis had planned a bridge party for next week and it been her mother’s pleasure to help her. Ir that home now the bright furnishings, the prettydraperies—all that their daughter ad--1 mired so much —seem a mockery. At the home of Editli Mae MesI sick, the relatives and friends gather |in hushed groups. “How can such I things be?” they- ask each other.

the Indiana Ave. barber shop previously referred to, Achey said. Asked Questions “He wanted to know if he and his brother were to be called before the grand jury,” said Achey. “He told me further that things looked bad and when 1 asked him what things he said ‘Our appointment on the board o.f works.’ ” James Armitage said he went to the home of Mayor Duvall with his brother, William, according to Achey, but Duvall refused to talk to him. Without going into detail, Achey said that Armitage told him that Freeman had donated money to Duvall's campaign fund and expectejl to be rewarded for it. Achey claimed that Armitage called his home three or four times on the afternoon of April 10. His mother told him of the calls when he reached home at 5:40 p. m. and in a few moments he was called to the telephone and recognized James Armitage's voice, he said. “He asked me to come up town right away” testified the grand juror. “But I told him that I had company and could not do so.” Met Near Home By agreement, Armitage drove out to Aehey’s house, parked his car fifty feet from Aehey's home, and the witness said he went out to talk to the defendant. He said that his mother saw the car. Armitage, according to Achey, seemed to be greatly concerned as to whether or not he or his brother was to be called before the grand jury. The wdtness then told of communicating the facts of the alleged conversation to Deputy Prosecutor Sheaffer, on April 8. Assertions that Armitage approached Achey were first made public when Achey, in a sworn affidavit

signed the cemetery to Leroy B. Miller, 127 N. Delaware St. Miller, ignorant that he had bought a cemetery' with seventy-five bodies in it, later had his attorney, E. E. McFerren, 1003 National City Bank Bldg., write to the Hungarian Ohev Zedek congregation, serving notice that unless $161.82 was paid, suit would be instituted to dispossess. The $161.82 represents the principal plus a 20 per cent penalty and certain fees. Letter Is Found This letter was delivered to the cemetery ten days ago, and laid there until Wednesday evening when a passerby found it. He took it to William B. Miller, 502 Lemcke Bldg., attorney for the congregation, Thursday. This started the Investigation

dated April 9, declared the defend- ' ant offered him $2,600 and a city hall job if he would vote against indictment of Mayor Duvall. Prosecutor Remy presented a mo- ! tion to discharge the grand jury to Judge Collins April 14, basing the request on Aehey's affidavit. Achey, in his statement, said Armitage told him he “had” two other members of the jury but needed a third, Achey swore to the fact that ArmfTage said he was representing Duvall in (she transaction. Citation Recommended Judge Collins delayed hearing on the motion until the following Monday. Then he read a statement in which lie recommended citation of Armitage for contempt of court as the proper manner for handling the alleged bribery situation. Collins appointed Holtzman and : Johnson special deputy prosecutors i i to assist Remy and Deputy William j ;H. Sheaffer. Remy then filed the j information on which the court cited i Armitage. Last week, when Armitage was brought into court to answer as to j whether or not he was guilty for I contempt of court, he pleaded not i guilty and his attorney, Eph Inman, , immediately filed n petition asking dismissal of the case on the grounds that all statements were falsehoods. Collins overruled the motion. Politicians Subpoenaed Wednesday, Inman tried again to have the case dismissed on the grounds that the statements made by j Achey were untrue, but Collins re- j fused to consider the answer to the I information. In the list of seventy-three witi nesses the defense has called several ] ! present and former politicians of Indianapolis, including two former I I mayors, the former police and fire chief, the grand jurors and others. With the trial under way, persons who have followed the situation since the probe originally went into the hands of an inactive grand jury last fall, are fearful the statute of limitaj tions will run out on many of the alj leged crimes. The statute provides ! that unless the case is prosecuted within two years after the alleged I irregularities are said to have occurred it automatically dies. Iregularities Rumored According to rumors at the courthouse, many events connected with the primaries of May, 1925 has been considered by the jury. Possible prosecution of these irregularities will fade within the next month. When the motion to discharge the jury was before the court and nothing had been done in the matter by Collins, The Times revealed that Aehey’s name and that of Juror James F. Chamberlain did not api pear on the tax and assessor's lists

which disclosed the strange legal career of the cemetery. McFerren, shocked when Miller laid the facte before him, said: “My client, Mr. Miller, did not know that this lot w’as a burial ground. On being advised of it today he is filing a claim for $91.63 with the auditor to be collected from the county treasurer. This sum represents the original $77.49 with interest at 6 per cent and certain deed costs. “Under the law my client is entitled to 20 per cent penalty after two years, but we are waiving that.” The Hungarian congregation recently was merged with Beth El Temple, but will continue to use the cemetery for families of the original members.
