CHIEF STARTS PROBE OF BULLET DRIVE’AGAINST POLICE

SECOND COP AHACK STIRS WORLEY’S IRE Passenger With Patrolman Shot Through Head From Ambush. HAT ADDS TO MYSTERY Doubts That Shooting Has Close Connection With Schoen Killing. The second ambushing of Indianapolis policemen within a week today commanded the personal attention of Police Chief Claude M. Worley. Patrolman Norman Schoen was killed in Irvington Tuesday night. An automobile in which Patrolman Martin Fahey, partner of Schoen, was riding in E. Minnesota St. was fired at, Sunday morning. Harry Trumble, 34, of the Emily Apts., Senate Ave. and Vermont Sts., a passenger in the car, was wounded dangerously in the head. The car was driven by Patrolman Murl R. Pollock, who owns it. Negro Is Accused One of three Negroes hiding behind trees did the shooting, Fahey declared. The two policemen took Trumble to city hospital, where his condition is serious. One of the mysterious circumstances of the shooting was the finding of Trumble’s bullet-pierced and blood-stained hat at Massachusetts and Cornell Aves., four miles from the scene of the shooting. Trumble identified the hat, but gave no explanation as to how it got where it was found. Worley declared he believes one of the Negroes connected with the shooting affair is a man now under arrest. Following “Scarface” Tip Fahey told him he was following a tip which he thought might lead to the capture of the “Scarface” bandit who has staged several holdups here recently, Worley said. Worley declared he did not believe the shooting had any connection with the fatal shooting of Patrolman Schoen. Fahey and Schoen had been working a “beat” together. March 1 they arrested a Negro in the 600 block, W. Washington St. They said they caught the Negro trying to get in a parked car. Another Negro fled. The captured Negro attempted to pull a knife from his pocket and the arresting officers beat him with their maces. Negro Is Held The Negro's wounds were dressed at city hospital and he still is held in city prison on charges of carrying and drawing deadly weapons and resisting an officer. Chief Worley, however, said he had information which caused him to discount the possibility that the bullet which hit Trumble was intended for Fahey and was fired by someone seeking revenge for the arrest of the alleged Negro car thief.

Intelligence Democracy’s Chief Need, Says Angel l

FORDS CONSIDER MAKINGBLIMPS Edsel Admits Investigation for Ocean Trips. Ry United Press ATLANTA, Ga., March 12.—Edsel Ford, president of the Ford Motor Company, is investigating metal dirigibles and their availability for trans-oceanic service, according to an interview with Ford in the Atlanta Journal. The Journal story said that although Ford was reluctant to discuss the investigation, he let it be known that he and his father were investigating larger dirigibles, which would eliminate fire hazards. “I am told that the efficiency of dirigibles is increased as their size is increased, while the opposite holds true of airplanes,” Ford was quoted as saying. He made it plain, the story said, that the Fords were making the investigation rather than the Ford Motor Company. Young Ford also / said that the Ford Motor Company never had considered going into mass production of “Flivver” airplanes. He said there were too few people who knew how to fly.

English Economist Speaks at Kirshbaum Center Open Forum. Democracy is inevitable. Let us make the most of it by the application of intelligence. This was the thesis of Norman Angell, English publicist and economist. developed before an audience that filled the auditorium at Kirshbaum Community Center Sunday night. Angell came as one of the lecturers on the Jewish Community Center Association Open Forum series. Although a believer in democracy, Angell does not believe that the voice of the people is the voice of God. “The voice of the people is more apt to be the voice so Satan,” he said. “Our modern education has made the trivial interesting,” he declared, and cited newspaper space devoted to movie stars and wanderings of royalty as cases in point. “We have sufficient knowledge to make democratic government successful, but we have failed to apply it. Our education should lay less stress on the purely informational idea and more on the proper methods of thought and application.” Angell recommended extension of the city manager idea from city to larger governmental units as one of the ways to apply “modern tools” to the government of democracy. In the questioning that followed the address he refused to state whether or not he thought the United States should enter the League of Nations, but pointed out that any nation that believes in peace must be willing to surrender some national sovereignity, thus making arbitration possible.

WTE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BACK HOOVER AS ‘NEW DEAL’ IN STATE RACE ‘Opportunity for Indiana’ to ' Be Campaign Slogan; Name Managers. Herbert Hoover’s presidential candidacy was given a “new deal” aspect for Indiana when it was announced that the motto for Hoover-for-President clubs throughout the State would be: “Hoover, not merely a candidate; but an opportunity for Indiana.” Plans for Hoover's Indiana campaign against Senator James E. Watson were being formulated at conferences at the Claypool called by Oscar G. Foellinger, publisher of the Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel and State manager for Hoover. See State Opportunity Foellinger, who filed Hoover’s name for the presidential preference vote of the State last Thursday, said he had received a sheaf of congratulatory letters and telegrams from throughout the State, indorsing Hoover’s entry and regarding it as an opportunity to wrest Indiana from the control of Watson and the much criticised Republican-organization control. Foellinger announced Will Willinar. Auburn, Ind., banker, had accepted management of Hoover's campaign in the Twelfth district, and George Eberhardt, former circuit court judge of Huntington, the Eleventh district management. Lloyd Hartzler, Ft. Wayne attorney, abandoned aspirations for the Republican nomination for Allen County prosecutor and accepted the Hoover management post for Allen County, declaring he believed he could be of greater service devoting his time to Hoover's cause than in his own behalf, Foellinger said. Hoover Club Formed The Allen County chapter of the Indiana Hoover-for-President Club, was organized at Ft. Wayne. Saturday night, with Arthur Hall, president of the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, and prominent civic leader, accepting the presidency. Attorneys, business men and farm and labor leaders accepted posts on the executive board, Foellinger said. Watson forces today buckled down to organizing the senior Senator’s campaign against Hoover. M. Bert Thurman, Watson's national manager, announced the appointment of a woman’s State manager and three district managers. Mrs. Eleanor Barker Snodgrass, Indianapolis attorney, was named woman’s State manager. A woman manager will be named in each district and county. Charles B. Enloe of Evansville will act as First District Watson chairman. State Senator Edward J. O'Rourke of Ft. Wayne is Twelfth District chairman. Thurman aims to rebuild Watson's primary organization of 1926.

Plan Huge Machine “That organization was so thorough that our task involves, for the most part, simply a ’re-checking' of the old organization,” he said. “In each of Indiana’s 3,600 precincts we will have a man’s captain with ten workers and a woman’s captain with an equal number, giving us twenty-two organized workers in each precinct—or about 80,000 precinct workers throughout the State.” Senator Watson and Tenrh District Congressman Will R. Wood returned to Washington Saturday night. ‘COME BACK,’ IS PLEA TO MISSING HUSBAND "I Cannot Live Without You,” Mrs. Simon J. Ryder’s Message. "Come back, I cannot live without you,” Mrs. Smon J.

[Uj United Press BERLIN, March 12.—RussianGerman relations were clouded today by the arrest of six German engineers as alleged accomplices in a conspiracy to destroy mines in the Donetz Basin of Russia.

Newspapers declare that unless Russia releases the men, Germany will send no more engineers there. It was even charged that Russians had engineered the "conspiracy” revelation so foreigners could be blamed for inefficiency of Russian engineers that had brought trouble to industry.

LAUDS COURAGE i OF MINERS IN STRIKE Senate Sub-Committeei Scores Company Police; Urges Severe Action. ] B,ii United Press WASHINGTON. March 12—Tha courage of striking Pennsylvania miners and their families in fighting for "an American wage and an American standard of living” was praised by the Senate Coal Investigating sub-Committee in its report to the full committee today. “Your committee was impressed with the courage and determination: of the miners to stand up for what: they believed was their due,” the report stated. “We found little complajnt about living conditions the miners have been forced to attempt. The splendid courage of the women was especially noticeable.” Condemn Coal Police The report condemned activities of the coal and iron police hired by mine operators and the actions of the Ohio and Pennsylvania Relief Society, which. It said was “preaching a doctrine of disloyalty” to the United Mine Workers and to the Government. "Everywhere your committee visited it found victims of the coal and iron police, who had been beaten up and were still scarred on their faces and heads from the rough treatment they had received,” the report said. “We found more or less evidence of bootlegging and in one community especially it seemed as if the morals had been broken down entirely. “The slimy trail of an organization known as the Ohio and Pennsylvania Relief Society was everywhere evident. The more suffering and distress we found the more certain we were to find the society active offering food and clothing to the miners, breaking the injunctions by mass picketing and preaching disloyalty." Believe Conditions Serious The report set forth in detail the activities of the sub-committee from the time it arrived in Pittsburgh on Feb. 23, until its return to Washington on Feb. 28. No effort was made, it explained, to investigate economic aspects of the situation, the sub-committee confining itself to the human side of the problem. "Your committee believes conditions existing in the Pittsburgh district and other coal fields are of the most serious nature and dangerous to the best interests of our citzenship,” it concluded. “The urge that the investigation of the full committee be searching and severe, looking forward to some legislation that will put the coal industry on a resonably profitable basis." The full committee continued hearings . today, with mine operators, subpoenaed at request of the United Mine Workers, on the witness stand.
