REMUS READY TO PAY WITH LIFEJiE SAYS Any Penalty Is Better Than Torture He Has Endured, Slayer Declares. • LEAVES FATE TO JURY Wants It Over as Soon as Possible; Inquest Is Set for Today. Bn United Press CINCINNATI, Oct. B.—George Remus, one-time millionaire, declared he is ready to pay with his life, if necessary, for killing his estranged wife, Mrs. Imogene Holmes Remus. “If it should cost me my life, I would pay the penalty rather than go on the way I have felt the last two and a half years,” Remus said in an interview today, discussing the events of Thursday, when he shot down his wife after pursuing her in a taxicab. “Now at least it is over,” Remus added, with a sign of finality. Remus drummed the table in the visitors’ room of the city prison as he talked of his feelings since the first break in his marital life. Assails United States Agent The one-time powerful bootlegger, who organized a rum-running business with ramifications throughout the Middle West and which poured in profits estimated at more than $6,000,000 dollars, vigorously denounced Franklin Dodge, a former department of justice agent, who also was named as co-respondent in ‘Remus’ answer to his wife’s divorce petition. “I have thought of it night and day,” Remus said as he talked of his wife and of Dodge. “It came between me and business conferences —important things I should say and do. It was the pretense, the hypocrisy. “I have had to follow them here and there, driven by this compulsion, this feeling of outrage.” As he spoke, Remus, dressed neatly in a blue serge suit, apparently was attempting to control himself and speak calmly. Leaves It to Jury Remus, who has announced he will rely on his own wits in his defense of the charge of murder placed against him, refused to offer any explanation of what tactics he will pursue in court. His only comment is that he will leave his fate to “a jury of my peers” and that he is eager “to get is over with as quickly as possible. Inquest into the killing of Mrs. Remus probably will be held today, Coroner F. C. Swing said. All witnesses, including Charles Klug, who drove Remus’ ear in pursuit of Mrs. Remus Thursday, will-testify, and Ruth.Etemus # who was with her mother when the fatal shot took place, will be on the stand. The grand jury will take up the case either Monday or Tuesday and. a speedy indictment is expected. AIR MAH. TO AUSTRALIA Government to Permit 1,500 Letters) to Be Carried in Flight.

Click, Click One turn in His Own Lock and Charles Rauh Gets Rowed and Roughed,

SHIS is the story of the prophet who was without honor, away from his own home town. Charles Rauh, executive vice president of the Belt Railroad and the Indianapolis Union stock yards,* also is vice president and treasurer of the American Sanitary Lock Corporation, a concern which owns the exclusive rights to all pay comfort station door locks in the s United States. The company offers a reward of $25 for arrest and SSO for conviction of any one caught tampering with one of its locks. Company officials carry master keys. Wednesday about midnight, Rauh rushed into the lavatory at the Chicago Union station and started to use his key. Up stepped a Union station detective, elated at the prospects of winning the SSO reward. “Watcha doin’ there?” inquired the detective gruffly. “Going in here,” replied Rauh. “Howdya get that way! You’re cornin’ with me,” ejaculated the detective. “Say, I own these things,” declared Rauh, tartly. “Thassa good one,” replied the law and roughly propelled the protesting official to the Union Station police chief. SHE chief was all for sending Rauh to jail immediately, but finally the Hoosier’s indignant pleas induced him to telephone Leo Kahn, president of the company, in Indianapolis.. Kahn dragged himself out of bed—it was midnight, remember—and answered the phone. “ ‘Lo,” said the chief. ‘‘Say, we’ve got a bird up here we caught tampering with one of your locks, says he’s Charley Rough, or Ross or something like that,” and, turning to Rauh, he inquired, sarcastically: “Just what did you say your name was?” “My God,” interposed Kahn. “You don’t mean Charley Rauh?” “Rauh, Rauh, yeh, that’s the name,” said the cop. Kahn finally convinced the police they had bagged the wrong man and the two detectives despondently watched SSO walk anerily out the door. The midnight train had gone. Rauh got back to Indianapolis Thursday afternoon, vowing that the next time he traveled he’d make Kahn issue him some giltedged credentials. ■

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CALIFORNIA IS SUICIDELEADER Rate More Than Twice That of United States. Bn Times Svecial SACRAMENTO, Oct. B.—California, land of flowers and sunshine, is also a land of suicides. Figures compiled by the State board of health reveal that the California suicide rate is more than twice that of the United States, that two California cities, Sacramento and San Diego, are world record holders for suicides, that last year 1,118 people destroyed themselves in the “land where life is better.” Two Causes are cited. The first is migration of invalids, pinning their last hope on California climate. Second is the migration of unskilled casual laborers past middle life. The inevitable disappointment that awaits poor families with a few dollars in savings as they arrive in their flivvers is behind many of these tragedies. Suicide rate for the United States is 12.1 to the 100,000; for Hungary, 22.8; Switzerland, 21.9; Austria, 21.2; Japan, 19.3; Sweden, 14.0; Denmark, 13.9; New Zealand, 12.3; England and Wales, 9.7; Italy, 7.9; Scotland, 6.0, and Spain, 3.9. During the last five years the rate in California has ranged from 25.5 in 1922 to 27.7 in 1926. Dr. Louis I. Dublin, statistician, has found that the general trend of suicides has been downward in America since 1909, especially among the young. MAN, 80, IS SUICIDE Despondent at Moving From Old Home; Inhales Gas. Theodore M. Meixner, 80, of 1223 N. Temple Ave., committed suicide Friday afternoon by inhaling gas. He' was despondent because the family was to move from the home they have occupied for several years. jCoroner C. H. Keever investigated. '

0, S. IS FIRM IN RADIO POSITION Insists Private Companies Must Be Protected. Jtu United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. B.—Fifty countries jockeyed for position at the international radio conference here today, following this Nation’s warning that its private radio companies must be protected. American delegates let it be known the United States would refuse to ratify any conference agreement making it necessary for Congress continually to legislate concerning such companies, which have created and increased the efficiency of radio. The European system of each country operating its own radio service is not applicable in this country, Stephen Davis, vice chairman, told the conference. European resistance to the American position was reported to be stiffening. Although French private communication interests represented here indicated the French delegation inclined more to the American than the European viewpoint, informed observers declared that when the test came France would probably be found supporting the British and European attitude.

WET SPRINGS SHOCK East Tennessee Candidate is Volstead Law Foe. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. B. East Tennessee has an anti-prohibi-tion candidate for public office, its first in history. Announcement of Lon Taylor Williams, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress, that he favors modification of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead law, has provided the first rift in the solid prohibition sentiment of this bone-dry region. Williams hasn’t a chance to be elected. East Tennessee is as solidly Republican as its neighbors are Democratic. But he has raised the issue as none before him has dared to do, and has proved that Volsteadism isn’t as popular here as always has been supposed.
