SLACK’S VOTE HOLDS MILNOR AS PM HEAD Mayor Keeps Republican in Board Presidency by Breaking Tie. DEMOCRATS BACK G. 0. P. Foley Gets Two Supporters Despite Announcement Barring Self. Mayor L. Ert Slack’s presence at the park board meeting Thursday afternoon rendered the event a nonpartisan affair. The business in hand was that of reorganization, and when the voting got under way it was found that the Democratic members were split in favor of a Republican board president and Republicans split in favor of a Democratic. To cap the climax of this unusual I situation, the Democratic mayor voted for Republican John E. Milnor. breaking the tie, and keeping Milnor in the chair. Mayor Breaks Tie Here is how the vote for board i president stood. Milnor and Mich- I ael E. Foley, Democrat, voted to re- j tain Milnor as president, a position he has held for the last two years. Adolph G. Emhardt, Democrat, and Mis. Mary Hoss, Republican, voted for Foley for president. The tie was then broken by the mayor’s ballot. Foley had announced previously that he did not choose to be president. Emhardt moved that the voting be by ballot and he and Mrs. Hoss voted for Foley, despite his declaration. Emhardt raised the question of the legality of making Milnor board president since his term of office expired on Dec. 31, 1927, and he has not been reappointed by Slack. Ruling was requested from Edward R. Raub Jr., park board attorney and son of Councilman Raub. He declared that the statute provided that board members hold over until reappointed or a successor named. Emhardt Is Vice President Although Slack has not reappointed Milnor, he never has named a successor. Emhardt accepted the Raub ruling, but requested that his question be recorded in the board records. Foley took the chair while the mayor cast the deciding vote for Milnor. Voting was then continued for the office of vice president. Emhardt was chosen on the fourth ballot. On the first three ballots, Foley voted for Emhardt, Emhardt for Foley, Mrs. Hoss for Emahrdt and Milnor for Foley. On the fourth ballot Milnor voted for Emhardt. In appearing at the board session, the first he has attended, the mayor asserted that he was there as part of his administrative duties. He made no reference to the fact that he formerly requested both Mrs. Hoss and Emhardt to resign, which they have refused to do up to this time. It was considered that the mayor has sought a berth on the board for Emsley W. Johnson, special political corruption prosecutor, a Republican and former member of the board under the regime of the late Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank. BRIDGE SOUNDING MADE Seek Proper Location for Span at Evansville. Soundings of the Indiana banks of the Ohio river near Evansville to ascertain the proper location for the proposed bridge across the river are progressing as rapidly as the weather permits, a State Highway official said today.

INSANE FROM FEAR

Bravest Cop Is Trembling Wreck

By United Press HOBOKEN, N. J., Feb. 3.—A few months ago Sergt. William Delaney was known as a cop who feared nothing. Time and again his courage had been tested. About that time he came across a gang of silk robbers, in the act of holding up the driver of a silk truck. He gave battle without hesitation; shot it out with the gangsters; killed two of them; regained the truck; and made .he robbery a sorry fizzle. For his bravery he received an award of $1,400 from the Silk Association of America, honors from the police department and civic organizations, and much acclaim. Then he went back to his work, apparently the same Sergt. Bill Delaney he always was. But gradually, fear began to creep into his thoughts. He heard other officers tell stories of vengeance by gunmen. He read of such things in the paper. He began to express a feeling that vengeance would be meted out to him. About a week ago he heard at the widow of Frenchy Genese, one of the silk robbers he had killed, had come to Hoboken, announcing she wanted to see the man who killed her husband. He went home and doctors said it was nervous collapse. But rest didn’t help and this morning he began babbling incoherently and finally became violent, smashing furniture and bric-a-brac. Physicians pronounced his condition serious. Late yesterday a squad of officers and a physician left for a sanitarium, taking with them Sergt Bill Delaney, the bravest cop in Hoboken—gone insane from fear.

Beauty Stretch

“It can't be clone, but it's beneficial,” said Miss Louise Noble, Y. W. C. A. physical instructor, viewing Miss Ruth Oeftering, 630 Parkway Ave., as she went through the motions of the new “spine-stretching” exercise. That’s all you can do in this exercise, according to local physical culture experts, go through the motions because it is impossible to “stretch the spine.” The argument started when an Eastern beauty expert said that “spine-stretching” was one of the greatest aids to beauty.

HOPE IS FADING FORNAVY BILL Little Possibility of Action TViis Session. By United Press , WASHINGTON. Feb. 3—Possibility of action at this session of Congress on President Cooiirige's SBOO,000,000 program on any other sizable naval building program appeared today to be fading. Technical legislative difficulties have arisen in addition to the opposition already created by the size of the proposed program. Further, those who will have charge of the legislation in the House have become convinced by recent testimony that the proposal merely is a gesture, as some said at first. On top of President Coolidge’s intention to build warships only as Treasury surpluses warrant, they now have the expressed hope of Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones, retired. that it will not be necessary to carry out the program because of possible fleet reductions at the five-power conference in 1931. Jones was head of the naval board which drafted the program, and his statement was regarded as significant.

Ripping, What? English Baby Cared for by Phone in Evansville Hotel.

llu Times Sin-l int EVANSVILLE, Ind., Feb. 3. “Minding the baby by telephone” was arranged by an Englishman and his wife who with their infant son were guests at a leading hotel here. The parents had a night social engagement, so they had to leave the baby behind. But what to do in taking care of him was a problem. Finally the father had a bright idea. He would have the night telephone operator at the hotel serve as nursemaid. The operator consented to keep on the alert for the baby’s cries, and.the receiver was left off the hook of a phone near the infant. “The kid is a topping sleeper—a ripping snoozer,” the father said, explaining that if he did wake up a bottle of milk would keep him quiet. The operator agreed she would have a bell boy arrange for the bottle if the baby woke up. At 2 a. m. the parents returned. “What ho.” remarked the father, “did the bally lad requirt his sustenance?” “He slept right on thi jugh,” the phone operator reported.

DRYS TO USE MAILED FISTS ’ IH BOOZE WAR ♦ _____ Winkler Prepares to Hit Bootleggers With Every Weapon in ‘Armory/ PUSH PADLOCK DRIVE Property Owners Warned; Heavy Fines to Strike Tax Evaders. George L. Winkler, deputy dry administrator, today announced plans for a drastic campaign against Indiana bootleggers, whereby every available legal weapon will be used by Federal enforcement officers. Two means of making life miserable for bootleggers are Increased use of padlock orders and adding heavy revnue penalties for liquor tax evasion. "We are going to padlock every place where we find sufficient evidence of liquor sales,” Winkler said. “This is one of the most effective means we have of crowding out the bootlegger. This policy should make property owners exert caution as to the character of their renters. Ignorance No Excuse “Ignorance that tenants are violating the liquor law is no excuse for owners of property. It is the owner's legal duty to know what is going on. “The prohibition department Is willing to co-operate with responsible owners who seek to keep lawabiding tenants in their property.” Padlock orders were issued against fourteen places last month by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell and several times as many permanent injunctions were issued. In the past, padlock proceedings have been instituted against only places where the most flagrant violations have taken place, Winkler said. “In the future we are going to prepare padlock reports against every place where such proceedings are lawful,” he added. Confers on Enforcement Winkler went to Columbus, Ohio, Friday to confer with Administrator W H. Walker in regard to enforcing internal revenue tax penalties. In addition to a fine and sentence for violation, the bootlegger convicted of manufacturing liquor can be made defendant In a civil suit and judgment obtained against him, amounting, in many instances, to more than $2,000. Besides doubling the $6.40 a gallon tax, officials can enforce a SI,OOO fine for evasion of the tax and a special SI,OOO fine in prohibited territory. Smilar, although less drastic, penalties are provided for “illegal” liquor sales and possession of an unregistered still.

MISSING GIRLS OLD STORY FOR POLICE

Heiress May Cause Stir as She Vanishes, But It’s No Novelty Here. A freshman at Smith College, Mass., disappeared mysteriously arid in a week a nation-wid 3 hunt had been stirred up by the publicity given the affair. Yet last month In Indianapolis, twenty-six girls were reported missing and no one but friends and relatives and the police missing persons bureau was much concerned. The reason was not alone the fact that the eastern college student was an heiress and the daughter of socially prominent persons, acco’ ding to Miss Leona Foppiano, head of the police missing persons bureau. Indianapolis girls just don’t disappear for long enough. Already twenty-one of the girls reported missing last month have returned to their homes or have been located. And there is little "mystery” in most of the disappearances. Freedom Lures Tire lure of independence, seldom found, is what leads most of the girls to shake off the family ties, said Miss Foppiano. Dissatisfied at home, seeking adventure and thrills, or enraged at discipline they consider too strict, they seek relief In other settings Usually they turn to some friend or relative. A number of the missing girl cases also result from failure of girls to return home at the scheduled time from visits to friends. Instead of checking with the friends, parents report the girls are missing to police. Some of the girls leave for their visits without notifying their parents, because they know they would not be allowed to go if they did, and thus results more missing person reports to police. “Best Beau” One Reason Perhaps ten per cent of the girls who disappear do so because of a “best beau,” Miss Foppiano said. The parents object to the “best beau,” but the girl is determined and moves to some other city, to which the boy is to follow, or gets a room in some other part of Indianapolis and continues at work, so she may see the “boy friend” when and as often as she wishes. Then there quite occasionally Is the triangle case, a wife or husband, forgetting his or her mate in a love for a third person. But even those affairs contain more of sordidness than of mystery, and the public seldom knows.

Six on Indianapolis Force Tell How It Helps in Police Work. Yes, there are college men on the Indianapolis police force. Six of them. Butler University students didn't seem to think so last week when they suggested in The Butler Collegian: “A squad of Indianapolis policemen made up of college graduates (if there are any on the force), flaunting fraternity pins, wearing knickers and Blue and White letter sweaters might add collegiate zip and zest to a Butler dance.” Ran Mile at Earlham The six college trained Indianapolis “coppers” perhaps wouldn’t care for that job, but they all agree that they don’t regret they went to institutions of higher learning, scholastic and otherwise. The principal benefit is that it gives an ability to meet and understand people and a wider outlook on life, they all agree. “And it's a pleasure in your private life to know yourself educated and on an equal footing with others you meet,” said Detective Sergeant Herbert Fletcher. Fletcher, who was a captain until th 4 recent police department shakeup, attended Earlham College two years. He won honors as a mile runner. “The friends I made while at Butler a year are helping me more than anything else. It also helps me to approach people,” said Detective Sergeant Emmett Staggs. Two Are ‘Frat* Members “Sure it’s a great help to have been to college,” said Patrolmen Alberti C. Magenheimer. “It helps me to be more diplomatic in settling differences among people on my district.” Magen. eimer was at Indiana University two years. He was a member of Alpha Tau Omega, and was on the freshman football and wrestling teams. Patrolmen Bertram Walker took a philosophical course during his three years at De Pauw University. He was intercollegiate tennis champion in 1893 and played football. He is a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. College Helps Them “College work will help anybody in this kind of work,” said Walker. “By having your intellect sharpened by reading books and by social contact with the other students and the teachers, you are better able to understand individuals and their lines of thought.” Patrolman Charles Clemens was graduated. from Culver Military Academy and attended the Central Business College and the Lain Business College. Detective Sergeant Edward Moore attended St. Mary’s College, St. Mary’s Ky., two years. He starred there on the basketball team.

It was the second day of the Premier’s speech defending his finance policies.

there is a discrepancy in his statement. He said he had been given to understand by Dr. Zaph that Dr. Schireson performed the operation, Dr. Zaph merely assisting. He maintained he had placed Dr. Zaph completely in charge of the operation while he had performed another to remove scares from Miss Holland’s shoulders. Dr. Schireson protested against the whole affair. He asserted he has made Chicago a "capital of beauty” and that professional jealousy is causing all the furore. Meantime attorneys for Dr. Schireson filed the praecipe of a $250,000 damage suit naming Dr. and Mrs. Henry Millstone and Archie Cohen, cousin of Mrs. Millstone, for remarks made about the doctor. Cohen is counsel for Miss Holland.

EMPIRE BOWS IN GRIEF FOR MARSHAL HAIG Great Britain and Allies of World War Tender Last Tribute. BODY TO SCOTCH TOMB Hundreds of Thousands Jam Route of Procession in London. BY CLIFFORD L. DAY United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Feb. 3.—Resting in a flag-draped coffin beside the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey, the body of Field Marshal Earl Haig, war-time com-mander-in-chief of the British army in France, was accorded the last tribute of a sorrowing nation today. Hundreds of thousands jammed the route by which the funeral procession, one and one-half miles long, reached the historic Abbey from St. Columba’s church, where the body of Great Britain’s most famous and most loved soldier had lain in state for two days. The procession passed the cenotaph in Whitehall, the simple white monument to the million British Empire soldiers and sailors killed In the World War. Allies Join in Tribute Not only the whole British Empire, but the allied countries with whose army leaders Earl Haig had gone through the war, joined in the funeral ceremony. French and Belgian troops were among the 6,500 soldiers in the funeral procession. Representatives of the United States and of other allied countries wera among the distinguished congregation at the Abbey. An impressive service was closed with the singing by the entire congregation of “Onward, Christian Soldiers” and “God Save the King,” an dwhile guns placed in St. James Park, near the Abbey and across bird cage walk from the bar acks of the famous foot guards, boomed a nineteen-gun salute, the body was taken to Waterloo railway station, to be sent to Scotland for burial irf the Haig family vault. The sun was shining brightly when the last twenty-minute relay of guards had taken posts this morning around the bier on which Earl Haig’s body rested in St. Columba’s church. Private Rites Held There was a private funeral ceremony at St. Coluinba’s, but in addition to members of the field marshal’s family and their relatives and friends, many soldiers were invited. Some of them were disabled men from hospitals scattered about the London suburbs, and policemen carried them in the church. Forty thousand people had filed past the coffin during the two days it remained in state. During the service at St. Columba’s the funeral procession was forming outside, with the massed bands of the foot guards at its head. It became cloudy, and there was threat of rain as the band moved off, its muffled, black-draped drums beating weirdly. The long line of troops followed in the impressive slow-march time, their rifles carried with muzzles pointed toward the ground. Coffin in Gun Carriage Earl Haig’s coffin reposed on th® gun carriage used for the burial of the Unknown Warrior—the one that bore the gun which fired the first British shell in the World War. Following the coffin was Earl Haig’s war charger, which he had ridden also in the great peace procession in which he led his victorious troops through London. The horse had been kept in Kmg George's Buckingham palace stable, awaiting the procession. The troops proceeded to West* minster Abbey by way of Hyd® Park corner, past the artillery memorial that consists of a plain, squat army howitzer carved in stone, down Constitution Hill, besid® Buckingham palace, along the Mall, where Earl Haig had marched so many times in parades, and through Whitehall where the cenotaph stands. * Nearly every one of the thousands of people along *he rout® wore a poppy, the blood-red symbol in Great Britain of fnen who had died in war. Only Poppies Used The base of the cenotaph itself was obscured by poppy wreaths. Lady Haig had asked that only poppies be used in connection with the funeral. A distinguished congregation, made up principally of members ox the nobility, high army and navy officers, and members of the diplomatic corps, attended the ceremony at the Abbey. Pallbearers were Marshals Foch and Petain of France, Lieut. Gen, Baron de Couninck, representing the Belgian army; Field Marshal Lord Methuen, Field Marshal Sir Claud Jacob, Sir Hugh Trenchard, royal air marshal; Admiral Er.rl Beatty, Admiral Earl Jellicoe, General the Earl of Cavan, General Lord Horne, General Sir Hugh Gough, General Sir Herbert Lawrence and General Viscount Byng. The Prince of Wales represented King George, and Wales’ younger brothers, the Duke of York and Prince Henry, were present.
