FOUR YOUTHS CONVICTED AS ‘GAS HAWKS’ Joseph Alstatf, 18, to Get Life Sentence in Attack Case. THREE GIVEN ‘5 TO 21’ Remy to Press Campaign Against Kidnapers, He Announces. Joseph Alstatt, 18, of 522 Highland Ave,, will be sentenced to life imprisonment for attack on a girl, and three other gas hawks were sentenced to shorter terms for similar assaults today. Alstatt was found guilty Tuesday and the punishment must be for life, because the girl is under 12. The three others sentenced today were: Albert Kennedy, 21, of 1805 Olive St., five to twenty-one years in the reformatory. Robert Turner, 22, of 1871 Shelby St., five to twenty-one years in the reformatory. \ Harold Van Walters, 22, of the Shelby St. address, five to twentyone years in the reformatory. One Case Continued Case of Clifford Wicks, 22, of 1214 Naomi St., charged with a similar crime, was continued until Thursday morning, to be heard by Special Judge Fremont Alford, who presided at the Alstatt trial. The two girls in the cases involved today were 1 3and 14 years old, causing the crimes to come under the statute setting extreme penalty at five to twenty-one years as the punishment. Alstatt was to be sentenced today if his attorney, Miss Bess Robbins, could get her papers pertaining to appeal arranged. No date has been set, but it is believed he will be sentenced formally this week. Remy to Rush Cases “I Kaye ewljt-Jbegun to fight,” said Prosecdtbr William H. Remy, who is handling the gas hawk cases personally, when sentence was pronounced today. “Arrangements are being made to rush similar cases pending in criminal as well as municipal courts. “These men tried to plead guilty to a lesser charge and escape with one to ten-year sentences,” Remy said, discussing his announced efforts to prosecute vigorously and seek the extreme penalties in cases of outrages on young girls. * Another gas hawk case, that of Francis Jones, 19, was continued in Juvenile Court today l”' Judge Frank J. Lahr. Jones is charged with contributing to delinquency, in connection with an assault on an 18-year-old girl, after a trip into the country in his automobile. Clemency Recommended Alstatt was found guilty by a jury, which recommended clemency, while the trio today was tried by Judge Collins. Special Judge Alford was to pass on whether a plea for clemency, signed !:y the jury and returned with its verdict, is to be forwarded to prison with the commitment. Miss Robbins, attorney for Alstatt, announced she will appeal. If is possible that young Alstatt will be released on bond pending appeal, since convictions for all except capital crimes are bailable during appeal. Prosecutor William H. Remy also will direct personally the prosecution of Van Walters, as he did the Alstatt case. He was assisted by Chief Deputy Judson L. Stark and Deputy Vincent H. Manifold. Warning Is Sounded "Our streets and parks must be cleared of this type of criminal,” said Remy, “and I will make every effort to get the extreme penalty in each of these attack cases. When the girl is over 12, the punishment is from five to twenty-one years.” It is Alstatt’s second conviction. He had been free only a few months after serving a sentence on the State penal farm for stealing, when 'the attack took place May 8. Two companions, named in a confession introduced by the State, still are at large. LUNCHEON CLUB CRITICS HELD ‘BELOW NOTICE’ Slap at Satiric Thrusts Is Taken at Lions’ Club Parley. Bu United Press DES MOINES, July 11.—Critics who make satiric thrusts at American luncheon clubs were described at the annual International Lions’ Club convention today as “unworthy of notice.” “Such men as H. L. Mencken and Sinclair Lewis do not merit our consideration,” Irving L. Camp, retiring international president, said. "They are at all times destructive If they can suggest a manner in which we can improve ourselves, then we’ll be glad to listen, but until then we cannot be bothered.” President Camp, in opening the convention, outlined the aims of the organization and declared the Lions . were in favor of the universal draft ' law as proposed by the American Legion.

This Is No Flop Bu United Press NEW YORK, July 11.—The art of flopping has become a profession in New York for which the most talented can make a maximum of SSO a week. The profession was exposed in Supreme Court at a hearing against ambulance - chasing lawyers. Several witnesses admitted they made a livelihood out of being able to fall at the proper time and place without incurring an injury. The flopper approaches a building Insured against personal injury suits. A crowd approaches. He falls and groans. An ambulance is called. Doctors working with the ambulance lawyers, bandage the flopper’s alleged wounds. The flopper disappears after a lawyer has taken his name. In the subway the flopper removes the bandages and starts seeking anew building to flop in. The lawer presses a claim against the building, pays the doctor, and the flopper and the case is settled.

Municipal court records today carried two more gaming device case judgments in which unsuspended jail sentences were given defendants. Judges Paul C. Wetter and Clifton R. Cameron shared the honors, each levying a ten-day sentence. Mike Lalioff, 1397 Kentucky Ave., was fined $25 and sentenced ten days by Wetter. Police said he threw pool ticket books under a safe. The books, however, did not contain tickets for sale, but duplicate tickets were repasted on the folders with notations setting out that “this ticket won $25.” Wetter held this to be evidence of gaming. Evidence of five sales was introduced in the case against Joe Mitchell, 410 Indiana Ave. Cameron fined him $25 along with the tenday sentence. Both cases will be appealed to Criminal Court. Robert Elder, 546 W. Maryland St., was discharged for keeping a gaming device when police testified they found pool ticket books in a drawer but had no search warrant. Child, 5, Struck by Car.

Mother and Daughter Fight, Make Pact of Peace, Then Tattle to Keep It

There’s only one way to make Mrs. Laura Davis; 56, and her mother, Mrs. Emma Poorman, 81, both of 739 Fletcher Ave., get along together, Municipal Judge Paul C. Wetter decided today. The womeen stood before Wetter at 10 this morning, the daughter charged with backing her aged mother up against a tree and jerking a shawl away from her last week. “Let there be harmony and

RUSSIAN FLIER LOCATES LOST ARCTjCPARTY Circles Over Position of Malgrem and Two Others of Nobile Crew. MISSING SINCE MAY 30 Two Arctic Ships Near Camp of Four Starving Men Held by Ice. Bu United Press KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, July 11.—A Russian aviator, Chuckhovsky. unknown to the world, sent news today that he had located three men of the dirigible Italia, who had been given up for lost. Their survival, in a forty-two-day fight for life against terrible arctic weather must be regarded as one of the high spots in this epic of the north. On May 30, Prof. Finn Malmgren, physicist of Sweden, and Capts. Adalberto Mariano and Filipino Zappi of the royal Italian Navy, joint navigators, started out with a farewell wave of their arms from the ice floe encampment of the Nobille party off Northeastland. Refused to Wait They refused to wait, as they thought, for an inexorable d*ith lo overtake them, but preferred tc meet it halfway in a gallant effort to reach land over the broken ice floes, Jagged and treacherous, and take aid to their companions. They had not been heard of sinc6. Chukhovsky, it was stated, sighted the Malmgren party in latitude 80.42 north, longitude 25.45 east, 20 miles eastward of the Krassin. Two men of the group, it was said were standing and signalling to the plane, while a third was lying on the ice. Ice, fog and a magnetic storm today combined to hamper communication between the ice breakers Maligin and Krassin and the dirigible Italia ice camp, where four survivors of the Nobile party are nearing death. Both ships,were held fast by ice barriers. General Umberto Nobile, crippled from injuries he received when the dirigible, Italia, crashed, wishes now to be back at the little ice encampment with four members of his crew—an encampment from which he was rescued by Lieut. Einar-PaaJ Lundborg. The Italian explorer said he left the ice encampment because Lieutenant Lundborg insisted the others would be rescued immediately. One of the group left there has died The other four are despairing of rescue. Nobile says he is sorry he ever left them behind. Goes Mad on Floe , BY ERIK BERNDSEN United Press Staff Correspondent VIRGO BAY, Spitzbergen, July 11.—Four haggard, unkempt and disconsolate men remained on an ice floe off Northeastland today—the floe on which they were stranded when the dirigible Italia crashed May 25—as all northern radio stations were tuned to catch signals that might indicate their fate. Radio calls from the ice encampment have been few in the last twenty-four hours. Among the last was the one from Giuseppe Biagi which had a most disconsolate note: “Rescue is so near and yet so far.” Since then there have been few direct messages save one from the Russian ice breaker Krassin which indicated that one of the men had become insane and walked away from his three ‘comrades. The long hours have told on the men. Lieutenant Einar-Paal Lundborg, who was trapped with these men for several days, told that one of their greatest temptations had been to walk to the Northeastland shore which glistened enticingly only a few kilometers from their encampment. The shore could be seen distinctly. The men had little or no chance to make the shore as was shown by the disappearance of Finn Malmgren and two aids and of Captain Sora, but the thought that walk might turn out advantageously preyed on the minds of the group. This may have affected the mind of the one man the Krassin reports walking away from the encampment.

peace in this household. Go back home and let’s see if some of this mother and daughter love can’t find itself,” said the judge, generously taking the case under advisement. Mother and daughter vowed that henceforth there would be a unity such as is found seldom outside the Kingdom of Heaven, and departed arm in arm. At 10:45 they were back before

Mrs. Myrtle Mock (left) and Mrs. Rose Hudson

A little thing like a temporary shortage of funds won’t keep loving wives from their husbands these days—at least not Mrs. Rose Hudson, 23, and Mrs. Myrtle Mock, 16. Three weeks ago the husbands of the two girls, both World War veterans, went to Toledo to work. Then the Fourth of July came and Rose and Myrtle wanted to make a little holiday visit to their spouses. Carfare costs money, so they just hiked. It took twenty-four hours to make the 250 miles with the help of a few automobile rides. The next Monday they hiked back to the homes of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Phillips, 252 Oakland Ave., here. Today they started back to Toledo for a longer visit.

HIT AT OIL STATIONS Lower Zone Classification to Ban Use of Choice Sites. Lloyd D. Claycombe, city plan commission attorney, today prepared amendments to the board of zoning appeal ordinance to provide a lower building classification for filling stations. Mayor L. Ert Slack’s suggestion that the filling stations be classified as first industrial properties instead of in the business classification with banks, office buildings and telephone exchanges, will prevent oil companies from using many choice sites. The first industrial group includes chiefly wholesale houses. Claycombe said the amendment will provide that gravel pits be listed in the classification requiring special permission from the commission because of the hazard. The commission at present .has no direct jurisdiction over gravel pits. PARK BOARD TO VIEW TRACT ON DELAWARE Consider Slack’s Proposal to Buy Bridge Approach Land. The Jose-Baltz Realty Company tract north of Delaware St. bridge, will be viewed Thursday by the park board before the weekly meeting. Mayor L.

Mrs. Poorman told the judge her daughter jerked the front door key out of her hand and would not let her enter. So the judge gave Mrs. Davis until Saturday to move her furniture out.

‘High Time to Provide Safeguard for Voters,’ Says Collins. The July Marion County grand jury was completed by Criminal Judge James A. Collins today and the jury sworn in and ordered tc make a thorough investigation of the county primary, May 8. These three persons were added to the jury today: John J. Maher, 617 N. fiast St.; William H. Madinger, 434 N. Rural St., and Albert J. Mannfeld, 2244 Broadway. These three previously had been selected: Eli J. Radibaugh, New Augusta; •Joseph C. Karle, 2625 Ashland Ave.. and Oscar M. Kaelin, 35 E. ThirtySecond. Mannfeld, who served on the grand jury which indicted Warren T. McCray when he,was Governor of Indiana, was appointed foreman by Judge Collins. The new Jury met immediately after receiving the Judge’s instructions and conferred with Grand Jury Deputy Prosecutor William H. Sheaffer. 3,000 Disfranchised Judge Collins reviewed charges of failure of election clerks to affix their signatures to poll books, failure of clerks to deliver mutilated ballots to electon commissioners and cited precincts where many persons were listed as voting who had not lived In the precinct. Approximately 3,000 persons were disfranchised by failure of clerks of both parties to sign ballots, which demands “that a thorough investigation be made to determine the fact as to whether or not it was carelessness or design on the part of such clerk and election officials,” he said. He also cited that "on investigation it was discovered that in a single precinct eighty-five persons had been recorded as voting who had not lived in t*e precinct within the year, and in some instances .the persons so listed were dead. Time for Safeguards After pointing out that the primary law was passed as a safeguard for the people’s rights, Judge Collins said: "If the charges made in the public press with reference to the recent primary is an indication of the progress we have made under this new system, it is high time that either the present primary law be repealed or real safeguards be established that will be beyond the manipulation of unscrupulous politicians.”

Entered as Second-Class Matter at Postoffice, Indianapolis

ROZELLE QUIZ ISSUE EVADED BY ROBINSON Senator’s Letter Hints He Will Do Nothing to Aid Marshal Probe. HICKS SCORES METHODS Intimates That Inquiry Is Being Hampered by U. S. Official. Senator Arthur R. Robinson, evading a direct answer to letters asking nim to act in the investigation of charges against Frank Rozelle, nwely appointed United States marshal for northern Indiana, apparently will do nothing in the matter. This was indicated by his reply to Robert E. Hicks, editor of the Specialty Salesman, South Whitley, Ind., made public today. Hicks repeatedly has demanded that a thorough investigation be made of the activities of Rozelle in operating the Omaha Tapestry Paint Company, La Grange, Ind., which Hicks declares have beeen fraudulent, fleecing hundreds of poor people in this and other States. Reply Made Public Hicks today made public his reply to Robinson’s letter. Hioks says in his letter: "The question in my mind is whether that effort (the effort to really investigate Rozelle’s activities) is being helped or hampered by your very evident attitude toward the investigation. Robinson was one of Rozelle’s backers for appointment to the marshal’s office. Replying to Hicks’ first letter, Robinson wrote: “Ours is a Government of law and order and every man is entitled to his day in court. I shall not attempt to whitewash anybody as you seenr to feel. “If Rozelle Is guilty, I shall be the first to demand his punishment. On the other hand, if he is innocent, as he claims, a very great injustice has been done him.” Wants Justice Done Hicks replied in part: “I am in thorough accord with at least one statement in your reply of June 9. . . . “It is my sincere belief that everyone is entitled to his day in court, and among those especially entitled to their day in court are the poor needy women, cripples and children to whom such concerns as the Omaha Tapestry Paint Company of LaGrange, Ind., sell their supplies, on the assurances that the buyers thus will be enabled to earn money at home.” Hicks wrote that he was ready to believe Robinson did not know the true nature of Rozelle’s activities, but—- “ The tone of your letter to me is however, that of one who does not intend to be convinced, if there is any possibility of evading conviction as to the facts. .. . Robinson Is- Scored “This is the type of letter I frequently have received from those who were guilty of conducting fraudulent businesses when I attacked their methods, but It Is not the tone of any letter I ever before have received from a public official, supposedly Interested not only in making laws for the protection of the public, but also in seeing that those laws are enforced.”

Mayor in Jam Attacked by Millionaire for Rebuke; Both Sued for Crash.

Bu United Press Milwaukee, July li.—a mayor and a millionaire were maneuvering their automobiles through the tangled traffic of a busy Milwaukee intersection. The mayor, Louis Fuhrman of North Milwaukee, didn’t like the millionaire’s driving. He pulled up beside the millionaire to tell him about it.

DEMOCRATS PICK RASKOB AS CHAIRMAN General Motors Finance Director Will Guide j Smith Campaign. POWERFUL IN BUSINESS Governor in Long Sessiorf yVith Jim Reed, Before Seeing Party Heads. u BY PERCY SCOTT ] United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 11.—John 3. Raskob, who rose from a $7.50 week stenographer to the status of a giant in the world of finance, wai selected today to direct the presidential campaign of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, former newsboy. The chairman of the finance committee of the General Motors Corporation, was Smith’s own choice for the chairmanship of the Democratic national committee, which ratified his selection at its meeting here. Raskob’s election marked a climax in the organization for the campaign by leaders of the Democratic party. They met here with Smith and his running mate, Senator Joseph Robinson of Arkansas, and Senator James A. Reed of Missouri* who oposed Smith for the presidential nomination at Houston. Parallel in Careers There is a striking parallel in th# careers of Smith and Raskob, although they did not become close friends until two years ago. Both rose from humble beginnings to positions of leadership in their respective fields; both are bora leaders; both are Catholics; and both believe that the prohibition laws should be changed. While Smith was working his way through the Tammany school of politics and selling fish in the Fulton market, Raskob was working as a stenographer in Lockport, N. Y. ■ In 1900, Raskob asked his employer for more money and was turned down. He then heard of a man named P. S. Dupont in Lorain, Chlo, who wanted a secretary and applied for the job, asking for a salary of SI,OOO a year. He got the Job and the salary. Worked With Duponts Thus began Raskob’s relationship with the Duponts, who now own such large blocks of stock in the General Motors Corporation. He became a believer in General Motors when it was organized by William C. Durant in 1908 and induced the Duponts to invest. The Governor’s first conference of the day was with Senator James A. Reed, who campaigned against Smith for the nomination at Houston, but who now has agreed to use his political acumen and his lashing tongue to promote the interests of the party’s candidate. Senator Reed was called into the Governor’s suite at the Biltmore Hotel for a breakfast conference before any of the national committeemen or other leaders had left their room3. Smith and Reed Confer Smith and Reed were together for nearly two hours. They went to the Democratic Club for the national committee meeting. It was learned that a sub-committee had been named to confer with Smith and Robinson with a view to setting a date for their notifications. The dates probably will be announced, late today. Among the callers at Smith’! suite today was Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, who told the Governor that he would do all in his power to promote Smith's election in the South.
