Federal agents are understood to have in custody the man who supervised the shipping of the ears to Europe. The ring culled from its loot the newest of the stolen Packards C.adillacs, La Salles, Lincolns and other expensive cars, glossed them up to appear as if they just had come from the factory and shipped them across the Atlantic. Sold in Europe They were taken over by agents in various European countries, who sold them at reduced prices, just as the ring worked in Indiana. State investigators today turned their attention to several machine gun raids by rum runners in and near Terre Haute, to ascertain whether they are linked with the motor theft ring and allied liquor cliques. Federal authorities interviewed a number of persons, but declared they expected no arrests nor important new developments today. •> Prosecutor William H.

INDIANAPOLIS KEY CITY ON AIR-RAIL LINE Transport Officials Here to Aid in Selection of Municipal Port. START SERVICE APRIL 1 Lanphier Is Surprised at Delay; Coast-to-Coast Trip in Four Days. Indianapolis is to be one of the six key cities in the new Transcontinental Air Transport concern which will begin its task of carrying passengers by train and plane from coast to coast in four days on April 1, it was revealed today by officials of the new aviation company, here to aid in selection of a municipal airport. The visiting air company officials gave impetus to the move to obtain anew city airport, inauguicted by the Chamber of Commerce. Narrowed to nine sites, the list of forty-two suggested locations is expected to shrink again when the report of the visiting officials is made to the municipal airport committee. Major H.amphicr Here Officials making the inspection tour of the new airplane are Maj. T. G. Lamphier, in charge of flying operations, and H. C. Ferguson, aviation consultant. Both are enthuiastic about possibilities of Indianapolis in the “air era.” But both are eager to see a site chosen and work begun to assure inauguration of the new air line, the first of its kind in America, on schedule time. “Indianapolis is the only one of our planned key cities that does not have an adequate air field for our operations,” said Major Lanphier. .“Delay in the selection of a site puzzles me, for the city has several splendid sites.” Both are ager to obtain a landing field near the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and both spoke enthusiastically of three proposed sites in the southwest section of the city which adjoin the railroad company’s tracks. Need Hard Runway “We must have a hard-surfaced runway In the four direction. This means at least two strips 3.500 feet long, each 100 feet wide. We must have an adequate hangar. If the city builds the hangar we will rent it or we will build our own,” said Lanphier. The four-day journey includes two days of flying and two night of riding on trains. At Columbus, the farthest east key city,—eastbound passengers will board trains for an overnight journey to their New York destination, and the trip from Clovis. N. M.. to Los Angeles will be made by rail. Tire key cities are Indianapolis, Columbus, St. Louis, Kansas City, Wichita and Clovis. The day trip from St. Louis to Columbus and vice versa will be by air, with each plane stopping in Indianapolis to take on and discharge passengers ond rest through passengers. The company eventually expects to have local plane sendee from Indianapolis to Columbus and St. Louis. North and South Junction Indianapolis will be the junction point of the north and south crosscountry line and the east and west line, eventually, Lanphier definitely stated. The north and south line will be started when east-west service is operating smoothly. In event cf "thick” werther here, air passengers may take trains from Indianapolis to the next key city on the route. The new company will use four-teen-passenger, tri-motored Ford planes. Ten have been ordered for ‘delivery in February and trial cross country flights will begin early in 1929. The air company officials left today for Chicago and will return soon to survey the chosen site and aid in plans for development.

Cops in Drill Show How Rookie a, Rookie Can Be

Hi, r ■■ m —— m—m—m wi To be SUI'P. the blll= uniforms:

On parade Indianapolis coppers are trying desperately to learn to be soldiers and so far are having a hard time of it. Speaking of rookies, take a look—at the upper left is the prize squad. Jim Carey, at the left, is the only one in step. And just look at the prize “sojer” of the outfit, Sergt. Clifford Richter, who is getting a few choice pointers on the art of soldiering from Maj. Lewis Johnson. The “recruits” are drawn up at salute in the other photo. That's one thing they can do.

Herman Marsh and Miss Ruth Jay each receive $175 for remaining in the long grind twenty-six days, nine hours. Bennett and his partner, Miss Goldie Richey, each get SSO for second place.

SCHOOLS GET $600,000 SHORT TIME LOAN Amount Borrowed Annually Pending Tax Collection. Board of s>hool comissioners today borrowed $600,000 from the Indiana Trust Company and the Merchants National Bank on a bid of 5.5 per cent interest on the loan which will run approximately sixty days. The loan is required annually to tide the board over until November taxes are collected. It was for the relief of the bird’s special, library and tuition funds. The bid, setting 5.85 per cent as the interest charge, was the only one submitted. Commissioners remarked that this rate was higher than usually paid, but not out of line with current rates on short loans. On money borrowed by the school board last January, 3.65 per cent was paid.

gine weighed approximately the same as a gasoline type engine developing the same horse power. If subsequent tests prove as successful as the first flight, proponents of lighter than air crafts, hope to use the new engine in dirigibles. Woolson said that production of the new engine would begin immediately after further testing air and ground have been completed.

Got Away After Giving $lO to Trusty, Fugitive Held Here Charges. Harry Hedley. 45, of 526'i W. Washington St., held at the county jail as a fugitive, today charged he bought his escape from the Indiana State Farm at Putnamville from a trusty employed in the office for S3O, of which he only paid $lO. Hedley escaped after State Farm and the charity board officials had discovered more than a dozen others had gone free by alteration of prison records and were investigating to correct conditions. Alertness of Sergt. Thomas Bledsoe and Charles Quack, led to Hedley’s arrest here Wednesday. They saw the man on the street and knew he had been sentenced to sixty days at the farm and fined SSO and costs on a driving while drunk charge and fined $lO on a drunkenness charge at Greenfield, Ind., folowing an accident Aug. 13. A trusty approached him, told him eighteen others had gotten out and that he (the trusty) could wipe things clean so Hedley could leave, for S3O, said Hedley. Hedley says he paid $lO and promised to pay S2O more when the trusty obtained for him his suit of clothes. Warned not to leave the farm during the day, Hedley said he waited until night, and, still wearing the farm overall uniform, walked along the road toward Indianapolis. He slept in a field all night, and the next day caught a truck ride to Vincennes, where he left his penal institution clothes at the home of his wife’s relatives. The civilian suit in which he entered the farm still is at the farm and he never has paid the trusty the additional S2O, Hedley said. Hedley is to be taken back to the institution Friday to serve the remainder of his term. HOOVER CLUB TO OPEN Headquarters to Be Established in English Hotel Friday.

WERE you there, and tell me, did you notice— They were all out of step but Jim. That paragraph, taken from a song popular in wartime training camps, accurately describes the first police drill sessions inaugurated Wednesday at Pennsy Park. It is the painful duty of this reporter to record that the cops were terrible. Worse, they were awful. To be sure, the blue uniforms and the Sam Browne belts were snappy, but inside them—wow! There were two drill sessions Wednesday at which 260 policemen demonstrated just how rookie a rookie can be. The men in the first section learned much more about military drill and courtesy than those in the second, for after an hour and a half of shouting. demonstrating, coaxing and pleading, the drillmasters were worn completely out. • Barrett ball and Ed Bali, motorcycle officers in charge of the drills, were given two weeks off in which to recuperate, but both declined, declaring weakly, albeit firmly, “We ll make soldiers of these gumps if it takes forever.” Major Lewis Johnson, almost exhausted, paused in his hoarse pleadings long enough to pose for a Times photographer. "We'd like to take a close up of a rookie squad Major, will you help us arrange it.” he was asked. "slbZ —Z&s —he replied. “Just line up any squad and tell ’em to act natural.” But the cops are determined. They are going to learn how to salute properly and to keep step. Hope gleamed brightly for almost half a minutes Wednesday when one entire squad got the step and marc.ied proudly, looking disdainfully on their comrades. The military drills are to be held twice weekly in the future. Hourly Temperatures 7 a. m.... 51 11 a. m..,. 60 8 a. m.... 51 12 (noon). 63 9 a. m.... 55 1 p, m.... 64 10 a. m.... 59

‘PRODIGAL’RETURNS

Father Vanderbilt ‘Slays Calf

BY SAM LOVE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 20. —Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., newspaper man, is prevented by motives of delicacy from writing his greatest human interest story and must leave it to other hands. It is nothing less than the reception back to the parental bosom of Cornelius Vanderbilt, stem brigadier general and father of Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., a prodigal son, who took a share of his inheritance and went forth into the world of journalism.

And the hard days came, as everybody knows, and the son squandered his gold upon gaudy linotype operators and perfumed rolls of paper and dazzling Hoe presses. And the son was reduced to writing husks for the syndicates, and he was visited by ill health, unhappy affairs of the heart, deceitful friends and every sort of affliction. And he bore it all bravely: but his father hardened his heart against him.

THESE details, it may be said, are purely Imaginary. Seen today at Mayfair house, Park Ave. and Sixty-Fifth St., Cornelius was reticent about filling them in. But the essential facts are true, and the fatted calf was killed with rejoicing and feasting that extended over seven days and night. With young Vanderbilt at Mayfair house was his bride, the former Mrs. Mary Weir Logan whom he married July 3. a half hour after she had obtained a divorce from Waldo Hancock Logan, a Chicago broker, and nine months after Vanderbilt’s divorce from Mrs. Rachel Littleton Vanderbilt.

The Vanderbilts just had returned from Newport and were leaving to take a train his ranch yin Nevada. Vanderbilt seemed happy that the estrangement from his father and mother, resulting from his insistence no being a tabloid newspaper owner, was ended. “I wish that I had “me to talk to you more fully,” he said. “But you can say that I’m happier now than ‘l’ve been in years. That the reconciliation with my parents is complete. And you can also add that they no longer oppose my career as a journalist.” Vanderbilt and his stockholders

JACKSON TO AID KEEPING GHERE Promises Help to Prevent Prisoner’s Removal. Governor Ed Jackson will do everything in Ills power to keep Lawrence Ghere and Rupert McDonald, charged with the murder of Wilkinson Haag, local drugstore owner, safely locked up in Marion County jail. This announcement was made by Criminal Judge James A. Collins, who came from the Courthouse to the Statehouse this morning to secure an executive order from the Governor retaining Ghere here. Earlier the judge had granted the petition of Ghere lor change of venue, sending the case to Shelby Circuit Court. Both Ghere and McDonald are alleged members of a nation-wide jewel theft ring and Marion County authorities are loath to turn them over to Shelby County jail, from which escapes have been effected at various times. Judge Collins recalled one such case where a notorious criminal made a key from a spoon, unlooked his cell and then escaped on a bicycle. Ghere or McDonald were captured in California, two years after Haag was shot at the Green Mill barbecue stand. G, A, R.JETTO VOTE Two Veterans in Race for National Post, By United Press DENVER, Colo., Sept- 20.—Turning to business after five days of play, the Grand Army of the Reoublic prepared today to elect national officers and sound the retreat call. John Rees, Broken Bow, Neb., and Samuel P. Young. Philadelphia, will test their voting strength in a central assembly of the encampment. Town appeared early today to be virtually assured by election as commander-in-chief, although Rees was gathering additional following.

Four years passed, and then Brigadier General Vanderbilt on a morning as sofetly fair as only a September morning can be at Newport, R. 1., stepped out on the marble stoop of his palace. What could that be approaching afar off? A taxicab? Apd turning into the Vanderbilt driveway? Indeed, yes, And from it emerged not only the prodigal son, to be held close to the stem old father’s breast, but a companion, in fact, a bride.

lost heavily in his tabloid ing ventures in Los Angeles, Miami and San Francisco. The ami and San Francisco papers now are defunct, being forced into bankruptcy, but Vanderbilt announced in July of this year that he expected to pay off the claims of the 3,000 stockholders by executing a trust fund from his inheritance. The Los Angeles paper was taken over by stockholders. When asked today if he had recevied his $3,000,000 inheritance, he replied, “Really I cannot go into details at present. I wish you would excuse me.”

Life Toll Is Estimated Near 800 After Survey of Region. EPIDEMICS ARE FEARED Military Aid Is Asked to Keep Victims of Gale in Order. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Sept. JO.~ As relief workers hurried bodies underground to prevent an epidemic and while rioting by Negroes was reported to Red Cross officials here as having occurred in Pahokee, Fla., death lists lengthened today in Porto Rico and parts of Florida lashed by the West Indian hurricane. Death estimates in Florida ranged as high as 800. Police reports from forty-six of the seventy-seven towns of Porto Rico today raised the number of dead to 174 with expectation that other bodies would be found. From the village of Pahokee on the southern shore of Lake Okeechobee. Fla., a Red Cross worker reported a riot among Negroes and a request for military aid, presumably to the Florida National Guard. Pahokee is listed as a mere hamlet but Its population may have been increased by refugees from adjacent areas. Health Conditions Bad Sanitary conditions in the interior of Porto Rico, in Palm Beach and Okeechobee counties, Florida, were reported serious and it was necessary in some Instances to bury bodies without identification. Chlorine with which to treat water in Porto Rico was supplied by the United States public health service. Relief workers believed they would be able to prevent pestilence. Meantime, the United States weather bureau ordered coastal storm warnings down except for small craft warnings in New England, as the remnants of the storm centered over westeyi Pennsylvania with every sign of further abatement. /-■ Dr. A.

Town Is Devastated The area between Okechobee City and Canal Point was in good shape but the town Pahokee was devastated. “Out of a population of 3.000,” Eide said, “twenty-five hundred are homeless. Six hundred are being sheltered in a school house. The area south to Miami locks, Including Kramers Island, was devastated and the loss of life was considerable but cannot be estimated although it probably will mount to several hundred.” 1,200 Are Missing By United Press WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 20.—A complete survey of the hur-ricane-stricken area around Okeechobee and Miami lock has revealed that there are about 800 dead.
