IAMMOND BOMB PLOTS SOLUTION BELIEVED NEAR Deputy Fire Marshal, Police Quiz Trio for Key to Calumet Blasts. Solution of the mysterious destruction by bombing of the $1,700,000 State Theater in Hammond last November was believed by the State fire marshal’s office to be near today. Arrest of three men on bombing charges in Hammond as the result of three months of investigation by Deputy Fire Marshal Earner Vrooman and Hammond police and detectives may lead to the “higher ups” whom authorities believe responsible for the theater outrage and the wrecking of a dozen homes and buildings in the Calumet district within the last two years, Bert Fowler, chief of the arson division said. Those captured in simultaneous movements by five detectives at Hammond Thursday are: Harvey Ames, 35, business agent for the Laborers’ Union; Marwood Williams, 30, and Dean Malloy, 36, taxi driver. Evidence in possession of investigators, which includes long hours of interviews with six witnesses in the Indianapolis office, indicates that Ames was driver, Williams the

FEWER OUT OF JOBS AS SPRING WORK BEGINS Employment Situation in City Reported Greatly Improved. The Indianapolis unemployment situation has been greatly relieved by the advent of spring weather and improvement in general business conditions, according to employers and employment bureau managers. Andrew J. Allen. Associated. Employers secretary, declared Indianapolis has not had the serious unemployment problem of several other cities the past, winter. “Our employment situation has been greatly exaggerated because it is a political year. Much misinformation has been distributed over the United States,” Allen said. Allen pointed out that the United States Labor Department issued statements contradicting exaggerated reports of unemployment. “Indianapolis has been better off than other industrial centers because our industries here are diversified. No particular field dominates in this section as in some other sections. Steady increase in employment is shown by the monthly survey of fifty-seven representative firms under Associated Tmployers auspices. Allen believes 1928 conditions will be better than 1927 as a result of the actual increased employment and the prevalent optimism. Factory expansion, public improvements. residential construction, street paving and railroad activity, which have “opened up” with advent of spring, have been responsible for employment of many who were without work during winter months. Ed Williams, State employment bureau manager, Room 7 City Hall, reported general conditions are better than a few weeks ago. Williams said the free employment bureau placed 102 persons last week, the largest number given work for several weeks. The first part of this week there were 105 pieced, indicating a steady gain, Williams said. ,f Outside work is picking up and there is a general improvement in factory conditions.” Fred Kleinsmith, Brown Efficiency Bureau secretary, 306 Guaranty Bldg., said the bureau had been "a lot busier” the past few weeks. “There is an increasing demand for expert office help and trained executives which shows that conditions arc better,” Kleinsmith said. Named as Fraternity Delegate Paul Simpson, Shortridge High School graduate, has been elected delegate of the Indiana University chapter of Sigma Gamma Epsilon, professional geology fraternity, to the national convention at Lincoln, Neb., April 6-7.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Veterans Pay Chairman John J. Brown of the State tax board today settled the question as to whether ex-service men are exempt from payment of poll tax. They are not. The Times has had numerous inquiries regarding this matter and county officials held various opinions. The township assessor’s office had declared exservice men were exempt, but 'Auditor Harry Dunn was right. He stated that men in actual service, such as the regular Army, Navy, marine corps or national guard are exempt, but not former service men, Brown said. He pointed out that the law governing exemptions for former service men was passed by the 1927 Legislature and is under Chapter 175 of the acts of that year. It provides SI,OOO exemption on property not over $5,000 for totally disabled veterans, and includes men over 62 in this classification.
