POLICE NAB THREE BANDIT SUSPECTS IN 25-MILE RUN AND BATTLE OF BULLETS <* One Fugitive Shot Through Head, Another I Captured Unwounded; Woman With Pair in Chase Across City. % NIGHT RIDER SQUAD MAKES CATCH Trio Flees in Auto at Breakneck Speed, Exchange Fire With Officers in Wild Early Morning Affray. Two bandit suspects and a woman companion were captured by three policemen at 3 o’clock this morning after a twenty-five-mile chase across the west and south sides, in which approximately twenty-five shots were exchanged. One of the alleged bandits, Wilbur Allen, 22, of 1705 Naomi St., is in city hospital in critical condition, a bullet wound above the right temple. Police were not touched by the bandits’ shots. The other alleged bandit, held in city prison under SIO,OOO bond, is Everett Perry, 20, of 1611 Harlan St. The woman who rode with them gave her name as Mrs. Belle Dobbs, 33, of 2210 W. McCarty St.

Officers who made the capture were Lieut. Patrick O'Connor and Patrolman Lelioy Bartlett and Arthur Hueber, forming one of the night rider squads. Cruising south on Tibbs Ave.. on the lookout for stolen automobiles, the squad sighted anew Auburn car parked on Morris St. As the squad turned to investigate the parked car, it suddenly was started and shot south into Tibbs Ave. Wild Chase Starts With the police car in hot pursuit, the fugitives’ car was driven south as far as Maywood, then back todawrd the city on Kentucky Ave. | The chase continued east on Raymond St. to Garfield Park and through the park drives. The bandits fired two shots at the police in the park. The officers responded, puncturing the other car's gasoline tank. The fugitives’ gas supply, however, lasted long enough for the car to be driven to Beech Gl'ove and 'then back to an alley in the rear of 2433 Shelby St., where the two men and the woman leaped out. Throughout the chase the woman was frantically motioning at police, who tried in vain to force it to the curbing. Each officer picked his victim as the trio jumped out of the car. O'Connor caught the woman after a short chase. Hueber caught Perry. Bandit Shot in Head Allen had a forty-foot lead on Bartlett. He turned, paused and fired six times at the officer, mising him. He jumped over a fence, crouched, and was reloading as Bartlett stole toward him. As Allen straightened up and fired twice mroe, Bartlett fired the last shot in his gun and struck Allen in the head. Mrs. Dobbs told police that Allen, flourishing a gun, forced her into the car as she left a drug store at Morris St. and Pershing Ave. She said they drove around until they met Perry, who took the wheel. Then, she said, Allen attempted to attack her. About this time the police squad arrived. Ties Declare Store Loot Police found a bunch of neckties at Allen’s house, which, his wife, Pearl, 18, said he brought home about three weeks ago. Police said the ties were from Paul M. Phillip's department , store,. Rushville, Ind„ which was robbed of several thousands dollars’ worth of merchandise about three weeks ago. Part of the loot was found a few day safter the robbery in suitcases in White River. Detectives planned to have a score of druggists and drug clerks, held up recently, view Perry and Allen. Both have served prison sentences for burglary and vehicle taking, detectives say. 1

MOORE GIVEN WEEK’S DELAY IN SENTENCE Attorney Granted Time to Prepare Motion for New Trial. OTHERS STILL DICKER Remy Waits Assurance of Capable Successors Being Chosen. Special Judge Paul C. Davis today postponed sentencing of City Councilman Boynton J. Moore on the bribery charge on which he was found guilty last week and granted Ira M. Holmes, Moore’s attorney, a week to prepare a motion for anew trial. The statute under which Moore was found guilty provides a two to fourteen year prison sentence. in the meantime, negotiations of other indicted city councilmen with Prosecutor William H Remy and Special Prosecutor Emsley W. Johnson to escape possible prison sentences by pleading guilty to malfeasance charges, punishable only by fine, were at a standstill. Prosecutor Remy awaited assurances from the councilmen that they would elect as their successors high caliber men selected by a representative group of citizens before agreeing to let them escape with fines in return for their resignations. Moore late Friday changed his resignation, filed with City Clerk William A. Boyce, Jr., to be effective immediately. Committees Named Two civic bodies Friday decided to name committees to recommend candidates from the various councilmanic districts for the seats of the indicted councilmen who already have resigned and those seeking Prosecutor Remy's agreement that they will escape the bribery charges with fines if they do resign. At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce civic affairs committee, called by William Fortune, this committee was named to confer with a similar committee from the City Manager League and suggest candidates: Chairman. F. B. Fowler; John E. Smith. Frank H. Sparks, Dr. Marie B. Kast and H. B. West. Prosecutor Remy attended the Chamber of Commeroe meeting and declared that all the councilmen under indictment and not yet tried, except Claude E. Negley, have indicated they would get out of counicl if he would accept guilty pleas to malfeasance charges instead of to the indictments they now face and on which they would serve prison sentences if found guilty.

Esterline,i City Manager League executive chairman was to name a committee today to meet with the chamber committee.

In the Stock Market (By Thomson iz McKinnon > NEW YORK. March 31.—There is a wide contrast between stock market and trade conditions. In trade gains have not been so vigorous, but reflect conservative operations and a gradual broadening of prosperity. One outstanding condition is the better business found among retailers which indicates moving of stocks. This of course requires replenishments whic liin turn should improve conditions in both manufacturing aand jobbing trades.

In the stock market continued activity and strength is bewildering. Money is plentiful supply. despite higher rates, while optimism prevails. Due to the great amount of concentration of trading on the market, leaders of many securities enjoying high asset value and a stabilized earning power have shown little or no activity.

SENATOR FRANK B. WILLIS. DIES SUDDENLY, AS 3,000 WAIT TO PAY HIM HONOR Ohio’s Favorite Son Stricken, in His Home City of Delaware as Glee Club Sings Prelude to His Address. END COMES AFTER GREAT OVATION Throng Stunned by Tragedy; Wife, Near By, Called in Last Moment; Arrangements for Funeral Are Pending.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. March 61. —The death oi' United States Senator Frank li. Willis has plunged Ohio political circles into turmoil. At first incredulous, then stunned, political leaders were shocked into silence by the death of the senior Ohio Senator. Armed with the endorsement of the Republican State Central committee and supported by some of the strongest factions in the State, Senator Willis was at the height of his “favorite son" campaign for the Republican presidential nomination when he was stricken. The Senator had been waging a battle against the candidacy of Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, who. as a presidential candidate, had entered the State to contest with Willis for popular endorsement and for control of the State's Republican National convention delegation. WASHINGTON, March 31. Death of Senator Frank B. Willis, at Delaware. Ohio. Friday night has changed the entire political lineup, inasmuch as he was a favorite son candidate in Ohio, for the Republican presidential nomination against Herbert S. Hoover. Washington observers believed two policies are open lor the Willis delegates in Ohio: First, that they might be chosen by anti-Koover voters; or. second, that they might be swung to Hoover, if Willis leaders in Ohio choose to make such a switch. Responding to reports that the Hoover campaign in Ohio has been dropped because of Willis’ death, a representative of Secretary Hoover said today the Ohio situation had not yet been discussed by Hoover. Observers regarded it as conceivable that Hoover's backers might refrain from open political activity temporarily in Ohio, but believed there would be no withdrawal of his fight for Ohio delegates. Bn 1 tilted Press NEW YORK, March 31.—Herbert Hoover, who became the only Republican presidential candidate for the Ohio primaries as result oi the death of Senator Frank P Willis, issued the following statement upon being advised of Willis’ death: “Mr. Willis, as a school teacher, Governor and Senator, has given his life to honest, upright public service. The passing of so conscientious a public servant is a matter of deep regret to every citizen.” Hoover, who had been here to visit with friends, returned to Washington after issuing the statement.

i:,t I uilrtl Pu ss DELAWARE. Ohio, March :JL —Ohio, “ihc mother of Presidents,” today embraced in death its favorite son for the 1928 .Republican presidential nomination —Senator Frank IJ. Willis. Willis died last night as a great crowd gathered in a home-coming at his home city to listen to his address, aimed to aid his own presidential candidacy. "I feel ill,” Willis said, as the Columbus Republican Glee Club sang “At the End of a Perfect Day." A few minutes later he was dead. It had been a great demonstration for Willis during the evening. The Kiwanis club banqueted him. Later he stood at a reviewing stand—silhouetted against a sky. reddened by torches reminiscent ot political campaigns of the ’9os, and watched his townspeople parade in his honor. Complains of Illness For mere than thirty minutes lie watched the parade and once or twice complained, in an undertone, that he had inhaled some of the smoke from the red flares. Then he went to the Gray chapel of Ohio Wesleyan University, which was filling rapidly with admirers to hear him speak. He was led to the place of honor on the platform and the .leading citizens of Delaware joined him there. Many well-known Ohio Republicans also were on the speakers’ program. A glee club furnished the musics I part of the program. It was a varied program and the singers were just in the midst of Carrie Jacobs Bond's melody when Willis complained of feeling ill. Mrs. Willis was at his side. She did not realize the seriousness of her husband's illness and did not accompany him out of the hall, re maining behind to hear ihe glee club finish “A Perfect Day" and commence “How Can I Leave Thee?” Faints, Then Dies Outside the chapel Willis fainted. He was carried into the President’s office and Dr. James Donance was called from the audience. The doctor arrived just as the Senator died. Death was attributed to cerebral hemorrhage. Mrs.' Willis meanwhile had been called from the platform. Bruce Burgess, president of the Delaware-Willis-for-President Club, with eyes moist, went back into the chapel and there announced that Ohio's favorite son and Delaware's first citizen, was dead. The 3,000 or more persons, who had come to cheer Willis, were stunned. There was a hush over the room. Many of the audience had chatted with the Senator during the day, or had seen him on the streets They seemed almost incredulous that death had robbed the Senator of his greatest political ambition. Wait Brothers’ Arrival The body later was taken to an undertaking parlor and will be held pending arrival of the Senator's two brothers, Dr. Lloyd Willis of Chicago and Buell Willis of Lewis Center, Ohio. Mrs. Willis was taken to her home at Galena, Ohio. A daughter, a teacher at Ohio Northern University at Ada, was advised of her father’s death. Funeral arrangements will not be announced until the brothers arrive. Born in Ohio Senator Willis was born at Lewis Center, Ohio. Dec. 28, 1871, the son of Jay B. and Lavinia Willis. He was educated in the Ohio schools and received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Ohio Northern University, Ada, Ohio, in 1893, and a Master’s degree a year later. He then attended Ohio Wesleyan. Miami and Ohio Universities and received the degree of Bachelor of Law. He married Miss Allie Dustin ai Galena, Ohio, July 19, 1894. He attended school and at the same time taught, holding a professorship in history and economics and later law. He was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1906. Elected to the State Legislature he served in the lower House two terms, 1900-1904. He then became Congressman and represented the Eighth Ohio district in the House from 1911-1915, when he was elected Governor of Ohio.
