THEFTS OF TIRES DROP Thefts of tires from automobiles dropped off 60 per cent in the last fifteen months of low tire prices, according to information reaching the General Tire and Rubber Company from a score of insurance companies handling automobile business. It was the belief of insurance officials the low selling price of tires in 1927 cut the thieves’ margin of • profit'’ to a point where the operation was unprofitable. Twice as many thefts of spares were reported as those in which thieves removed tires from wheels.

80-MILE LONG PARK PLANNED Mass Meeting Will Be Held at Plymouth Tonight. A mass meeting will be held at Plymouth tonight to awaken inter-' est in the eight-mile State park along the Tippecanoe River. Charles Biederwolf, Supreme Court Clerk and president of Indiana division of the Izaak Walton League, will be the principal speaker. Efforts to establish the huge park in the five northern Indiana counties—Fulton, Pulaski, Marshall, Kosciusko and White—are being met with success and public opinion has been crystallized in its favor. Plans now call for the starting of the park at the muoth of the river at Lake Tippecanoe, then north to Warsaw and terminating at Lake Shafer near Monticello in White County. As this park, taking in several feet of marginal timber, would be too large to fence, land owners with property contingent to the river see in the project a splendid opportunity to plat their river front property and sell the lots for summer cottages. Such a would soon assume national importance, Biederwolf said, as it is easily accessible to Federal highways.

SLAIN BANDITS RECORD BARED Peter Meyer Escaped From Reformatory. By Times Special SHELBYVILLE. Ind., April 4. The man found dead of a bulletj wound- in an automobile near hero Monday has been identified as Peter Meyer, who escaped from the Indiana Reformatory at Pendleton March 22. Chaunce.v Manning and Forest C. Huntington of the State criminal investigation bureau fixed the identity. Meyer, a son of Jonah Meyer, Vera Cruz, Ind., was sentenced from Bluffton for forgery in 1917, and was also sentenced in 1918 and 1921. While serving a sentence imposed at Indianapolis for liquor law violation, he escaped, was captured and given five years at the reformatory. He fled shortly afterward, using the auto of A. F. Miles, reformatory superintendent, in the escape. Authorities today disclosed anew angle in Meyer’s death when it was found a bullet in his body was of 38-caliber, apparently exploding a theory that F. O. Hillis, Milroy garage owner, fired the fatal shot during a hold-up by Meyer and another man who escaped. Hillis used a 32-caliber weapon.
