RUSSIAN SHIP RESCUES THIRD ARCTICPARTY Picks Up Two Dog Sled Men Missing in Attempt to Find Italia Camp. ONE GROUP STILL LOST Saved Nobile Aids Wander About Decks as If in Dream. By EUGENE LYONS United Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW, July 13.—0n the last short stage of the most triumphant voyage of resoue in modem history, the Russian icebreaker Krassin radioed today that she had picked up two dogsled men off Northeastland and was proceeding to rescue five men stranded on the coast with their damaged airplane. In her last brief message, the Krassin wirelessed that she had rescued Captain Sora and Sefj Van Dongen, who with a dogsled team had gone in search of survivors from the wrecked dirigible Italia. At almost the same moment, an unconfirmed report from Virgo Bay said that Ludvig M. Vanning, third member of the little expedition, had been picked up with the dogsled team where Sora and Van Dongen had left him, near Cape Brun. Only One Party Left The only other party of known survivors now on the arctic ice that fought such a long, bitter and for a time winning battle to prevent rescue is that of Aviator Chukhnovsky, off Cape Platen. Chukhnovsky and four companions crashed after they had flashed back w-ord that they had located Capt. Filippo Zappi and Capt. Adalberto Mariano, of the Italia. As it pushed its way along the coast to the rescue of the Sora and Chukhnovsky parties, the Krassin radioed she had aboard seven men brought back from death to life after the wrecking of the Italia. In business-like manner, the ship added that after effecting rescues of all survivors, she would proceed to Advent bay to re-coal. Within two days the Krassin had rescued two groups from the Italiaone given up as lost and listed the dead; the other the men hvho day by day since June 9 had from their ice camp off Foyn island their desperate conditions. Pick Up Two Groups In the first group were Capt. Zappi and Capt. Adalberto navigators of the Italia, pidked up off a twenty-four-foot ice fje off Cape Platen Thursday jnorning. They had left the ice camp May 30 with Prof. Finn Malmgren, the Swedish meterologist of the Italia, to try to walk to land. The Krassin radioed Thursday that Malmgren had been dead for a month. Magnetic storms that have interrupted all radio communication throughout the North caused barbling Thursday of subsequent messages from the Krassin. The messages were interpreted as saying that Malmgren’s body had been found. Today further messages from the Krassin left this, and even the question whether Malmgren actually was known to be dead, a matter of uncertainty. In the second group she picked up —at the Italia ice camp off Foyn island—the Krassin reported that there were five men. They were: Lieut. Alfredo Viglieri, joint navigator of the Italia, in command; Professor F. Behounek of Czechoslovakia, radiologist; Felice Troiani, aeronautical engineer; Gieuseppe Biago, radio operator, and Natale Cecioni, chief engineer. Cecioni’s Fate Uncertain Cecioni had been desperately wounded when the Italia crashed to The ice May 25. A thigh had been broken and he had suffered other injuries. Last Saturday, the report was published generally that Cecioni had died. The Krassin radioed today that Cecioni, like the others, was aboard her. All seven rescued men aboard the Krassin are under the care of physicians, who are feeding them cautiously until they have beecme used to ordinary food after weeks of trying to masticate, with swollen mouths, the frozen pemmican that was almost their only food. Zappi, Viglieri, behounek, Troiani and Biagi are wandering about the ship as in a dream, the Krassin radioed. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say, as if awakened kto a wonderful world after a forty-"two-day nightmare. ROB CHURCH POOR BOX Third Similar Burglary in Two Nights Is Reported.

‘SPARK OF DECENCY’ WINS GAS HAWK JUDGE’S MERCY

Because Special Judge Fremont Alford declared that he found “at least a spark of decency” in him, Clifford Wicks, 22, of 1214 Naomi St., received a suspended sentence of from one to ten years at Indiana State Reformatory today. He had been found guilty of assault with intent to attack a young girl. The case was heard in Criminal Court, Thursday. Evidence disclosed that Wicks had a change of heart and later saved the girl from attack by his companion,

Rate Is Fair and Proper, Public Service Body Statement Says. The 10-cent far charged by the People’s Motor Coach Cos. was upheld as “fair an dreasonable” today in an order of the Public Service Commission, denying the petition of Joseph H. Schaub, Jr., and others asking for a lower rate. The Schaub petition, filed Nov. 22, 1927, also asked for appraisal and investigation of the motor coachcompany, to ascertain a “fair and proper rate.” In the order written by Commissioner Howell Ellis and handed down today, the commission declares that the petition was filed after No. 5, 1927, when the commission, by order of the Marion Circuit Court, authorized the Indianapolis Street Railway Company, to purchase the bus company for $500,000 and the commission “failed to see how it could in the reduction proceeding find a lower value at this time for' the property.” It must be borne in mind, the order says, that the sale was ordered by the court on the basis of levenues derived from a ten-cent fare, which is complained against in the petition. The record, the order said, “did not show that the ten-cent fare was unreasonable for this type of transportation and that there is any dissatisfaction on the part of the patrons with the service furnished. Oral testimony touched but lightly upon the Issues involved, the order states; and continues th&t “It Is significant that at the various hearings held in this matter, none of the petitioners appeared in person and not a single patron of the motor coach company was present at any hearings making any complaint against existing rates.” The commission in the order reminded the petitioners that the commission had jurisdiction over the rates, which will be "continued until further order of the commission."

WOUNDED BOY AT DEATH DOOR Mother Returns to Help Boy Fight for Life. Butler Diamond, 10, shot through the abdomen Thursday by his brother while they were playing with a revolver at t'uelr home, 807 River Ave., fought away delirium this afternoon at city hospital and puckered up his lips to give his mother what probably may be her last kiss from him. The mother was on her way to Elgin, Tenn., by automobile with relatives when the accident occurred. Word of the shooting reached her last night and she rushed back, arriving shortly before noon. Taken at once to city hospital she went to the bedside of her son. Although he had been delirious most of the night and morning, a faint smile flickered across his blue eyes when nurses told him his mother was home. The mother went into an adjoining room to comfort the brother Clifton, 13, while doctors again took the younger boy to the surgery in a desperate attempt to save his life. The bullet passed through the abdomen and the boy is so weak from loss of blood it is impossible to try transfusion, doctors said. If he gains strength, his sister, Mrs. Jessie Wilson, will give her blood for a transfusion. Mrs. Wilson was to have celebrated her twentieth birthday Saturday.

RENEW JjOURT FIGHT New Battle Is Launched on Appellate Body. Despite an opinion of the Supreme Court handed down Thursday, upholding the constitutionality of the Appellate Court, anew attack on the legality of this body was begun by William V. Rooker, attorney for the Pivot City Realty Company. Creation of the Appellate Court in 1891 was unconstitutional because it endows the Appellate Court with jurisdiction in appeals which the Constitution places solely within the powers of the Supreme Court, Rooker contends. He asks that his clients’ case against the State Savings and Trust Company be transferred from the lesser court to the Supreme Court. PEEVED OVER ARREST; THROWS MONEY AWAY Harry Burgess Fined $lO on Intoxication Charge. Harry Burgess, 1701 N. Illinois St., was so enraged when they arrested him Thursday night on an intoxication charge that he threw a SI,OOO bill and SB7 in smaller bills away, Deputy Sheriffs Reagan and Shipp said today. Burgess was fined $lO in municipal court today on an intoxication charge. The deputy sheriffs said they found Burgess’ Lincoln car parked beside the road on E. Thirty-Eighth St., near the Green Mill barbecue, without lights. His wife and a girl were in the car, they said, and Burgess was roaming about a field When they stopped Burgess came over and cursed them. Arrested on a drunkenness charge he threw the money from his poegets into the air, they said. They picked it up and took it to city prison with Burgess. Burgess provided a cash bond from the sum to secure his release when he had- spent the required four hours behind the bars. Burgess apologized to the officers today.

DRAFT ORDINANCE TO BAR AUTOS PARKING ON CIRCLE

Elimination of automobile parking on Monument Circle and flat-to-curb parking on Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and Massachusetts Aves. will be provided in an ordinance which Councilman Robert E. Springsteen today requested Assistant City Attorney Sipiley Chambers to draw for introduction in council. The ordinance probably will not be ready for Monday night’s session. Springsteen said he would not include flat-to-curb parking on Washington St., as informally suggested by traffic officers in connection with the new pedestrian regulations at Illinois, Meridian and Pennsylvania St. intersections. It was expected the council would remove angle parking on Washington St. to allow two traffic

CENTRAL AVE. BANK HOLDUP IS THWARTED BY CASHIER; ROUTS BANDIT IN SUN DUEL Robber Put to Flight After His Revolver; , Misfires; Escapes in Motor With • Single Confederate. DETECTIVES QUESTION SUSPECT! Fearing Early Morning Visitor, Employe Grabs Weapon When Thug Shouts ‘Stick ’Em Up’ Command. . \ Bravery of Orville Denbo, assistant cashier of the Central State Bank, 2962 Central Ave., frustrated a holdup attempt at 7:55 this morning. Looking into the muzzle of a bandit’s revolver, Denbo disregarded a command to “stick ’em up.” He reached for his own revolver. The bandit pulled the trigger of his gun, but the shell failed to explode. Grabbing his gun, Denbo chased the -man from the bank, firing four shots at him. One is believed to have struck tho bandit.

COURT PONDERS MAYORBATTLE Array of Notables Called for Testimony. One Indianapolis mayor, two would-be Indianapolis mayors, and an array of legal talent, including a former Supreme Court chief justice and the Democratic candidate for Governor, appeared before the Supreme Court today in oral argument. The argument was in regard to the claims of Ira M. Holmes to ;he mayorship, opposed by attorneys for Mayor L. Ert Slack and Joseph L. Hogue, other contender for the mayor’s office. Slack, Holmes and Hogue were all on hand. Former Justice Louis B. Ewbank made one new point in the case, that since one-time Mayor John L. Duvall received SIO,OOO rather than paid it out, it really was not bribery, according to statute. Duvall was found guilty of violation of the corrupt practice act and his case is pending in the Supreme Court. Holmes’ claim to the mayorship is based on Duvall’s inheritance, handed down through a series of city controllers. Frank C. Dailey, Slack attorney and gubernatorial candidate, con tended that the city controllers cannot will the office and it was up to the council to select the mayor. The council selected Slack. Hogue’s attorneys contended that neither Duvall nor Slack have any tattle to the office and Hogue has a Tase pending to that effect. They claim it for Hogue on the ground that Duvall never legally held the mayorship and the jury verdict said so. The court is pondering over the oratory and studying the briefs. ITALY ILOSES FRONTIER TO AUSTRIAN SUBJECTS Tyrolese Criticism of Unveiling Monument Results in Deere. Bu United Press 1 LONDON, July 13.—The entile Austro-Italian frontier has been closed by Italian authorities against entrance of Austrians —with even local Tyrolese passports invalidated —a Vienna dispatch to the Daily Express said today. The measure was started on Wednesday night and will be applicable until further notice. The reason given for the action is that the Tyrolese had taken objections to Italy’s unveiling a victory monument Thursday on the site where the Tyrolese had intended to unveil a monument to deceased Austrian imperial sharpshooters.

lines in the downtown area. Police said cars entering and leaving parking places greatly delay motorists. Merchants are understood to be opposed to the proposed change. Removal of parking on the Circle is contemplated in conformity with a request of Col. Oran Perry, Monument superintendent, who contends the use of the Circle for parking is contrary to State law. Perry promised anew lighting system for the memorial when the city council kills the traffic ordinance permitting parking. Springsteen said the ordinance also will provide angle parking on Ohio St. between Delaware and East Sts., to permit persons desiring to visit city market to find a parking space. Angle parking will handle a larger number of cars.

HOME

TWO CENTS

The bandit jumped on the running board of an automobile, in which another maa waited at the wheel and they; drove east on Twenty-Ninth St. Suspect Is Questioned Detectives Golder, Dugan, Whita and Glenn arrested a man in north side home late this morning and took him to headquarters for questioning as a suspect in the attempted robbery. The man was found in bed and a car answering the description of that used in the get-away was found in a garage in the rear. The suspect had a brown hatband over the original green band of his straw hat. Padding of the left shoulder of his coat was pierced, as if by a bullet. A crude attempt to sew the holes in the cloth had been made. Denbo entered the bank alone shortly before 8 to open for the day’s business. As he unlocked the front door and walked in, the bandit followed. “I had a hunch something was wrong,” Denbo said. Hurries Into Cage As soon as he had entered the door he hurried back of the cage. When he turned to look at the intruder, he faced the man’s revolver. “Stick ’em up,” the bandit shouted. Denbo hesitated. “Stick ’em up. Stick ’em up, you the gunman said again. Denbo reached for his revolver in the cage and the bandit snapped his gun. Failure of the cartridge to explode probably saved Dendo’a life. Denbo grabbed his gun and fired twice as he ran around the end of the cage. One bullet went through the front door glass and the other into the door frame. In the meantime, the bandit was running out the door to the car, about fifty feet south of the Dank. Near Accident in Flight Denbo followed, firing two shots at the man as he ran. One of tnese is believed to have taken effect, as witnesses said the bandit limped and had difficulty getting on the running board of the car. The car drove south to TwentyNinth St. and then east. The man at the wheel had the engine running as the frustrated bandit came out of the bank. He nearly struck a parked machine twisting away from the curb. Fred Reed, attendant at a Pure Oil filling station across from the bank, gave police the best description of the bandit. The man is about 6 feet tall, weighs about 165 pounds, and wore a brown suit and straw hat, Reed said. The car was a dark-colored Chevrolet with a red stripe. Four police squads cruised the north section of the city to hunt the pair. All Money in Vault The bandit could have obtained no loot even if he had been successful in overpowering Denbo, bank officials said. All the money was locked in the vault and the time lock on the strong box would have prevented opening it for some time. On May 26, 1927, two youthful bandits held up Denbo and one customer at 10:30 in the morning and escaped with $4,067. In November, 1924, bandits obtained $5,000 in a hold-up there. Denbo als was in the bank when the 1924 holdup attempt took place. In both the holdups the bandits climbed over the cage to reach the vault. “I noticed the man loitering in front of the bank when I parked my car this morning,” Denbo said, “tJjjh I had a queer feeling. “When he followed me into bank I had a hunch I was in stickup. I knew if I got back cage I had him beat, but if his gun on me first he'd have^^H “I jumped back of the cauff| away. Then he yelled at to ‘stieken ’em up.' 1 ■ click and then 1 commenJ&SSj^Jl
