Stanley Baldwin. Conservative pr me minister for the last, four and me-half years, called on the ailing kmg today and submitted his res-k-ration, which was accepted, as a natter of course. .1 Ramsay MacDonald, the dour, Socialist Scotsman, who led his party to victory in last Thursday’s general election, will call on the p-.r.g Wednesday and accept the erown's invitation to form a government. . Baldwin was received by the king . his bedside in Windsor castle, tiaditional seat, ot the Windsor line, and officially informed the sovereign that the Tory government lost its majority in the election. Acting on prreeden*. the king accented the premier's resignation and vas prepared to call on MacDonald to take over the government.

Install New Cabinet Soon The Labor cabinet probably will be installed before the week-end. It will include Philip Snowden, financial genius of the Labor party, as chancellor of the exchequer; Arthur Henderson, who was home secretary in t he* first labor government. J. H. Thomas.-the former railway worker who watfcolonial socretaii in the first Labor government; Commander J M Kenworthy, the Laboi exper on naval affairs, and other leaders of the party.

Th- canny 'Welshman can affotd to wait until he catches Labor government in a weak position, w here a defeat would be accepted by the country as justified. Foreign Policy Ticklish That probably will come on forr. ' rjojjcv a ticklish subject on winch' labor has pronounced viewer The labor party has a compre hensive plan for anew orientation n' British foreign policy, with alter a i ions on many important points affecting international relations. MacSnald strongly favors a more active and assertive foreign polic particularly concerning the Lm ed States and Russia. In view of the powerful conservative and liberal opposition, however, it is doubtful how far he will be able to proceed with his plans. During the election campaign MacDonald said that one of his first moves would be to propose a formal conference with the United States on the whole question of reduction in naval armaments and settlement of the question of freedom of the The latter is regarded by labor as the crux of Angle-Amencan relations and the most vital of foreign problems. Committed to Tolicies The most radical point of the entireforeigr program of labor is its declared willingness to renounce, by International agreement. Englano s tradtional claim to the right of bjoekad* in war time as a private weapon T r is highly controversial and certain to arouse bitter oppostion. Labor is committed to a policy of renewing diplomatic and commercial relations with Russia and withdrawal of *he British forces of occupation from the Rhineland.

June 4.—Mrs. Blanche Thomas stands accused today of administering poison to her son Ralph. 7. and upon her suspicion is cast in the deaths of two persons. The charge is made by her divorced husband, Loren Thomas, in a suti filed in Oven circuit court here seeking modification of a decree giving him custody of the chi’ i, in which he asks the mother be prevented from having the boy for visits. The complaint filed by Thomas alleges that after the boy returns from visits to his mother, who makes her home with her parents, Mr. and Mrs..

BLAST IS SET OFF IN NEW APARTMENT Nearly Completed 3-Story North Meridian St. Structure Damaged SSOO. WORLEY OPENS PROBE Children in Nearby Library in Peril; Labor Trouble is Denied.

An unsuccessful attempt to wreck j a nearly completed eight-story apart- j me-nt building at 3056 North Merid- j ian street by a charge of dynamite I at 3:15 Monday evening remained a mystery to contractor, owner and police today. The building and surrounding property was damaged about SSOO by the blast which injured two unim- j portant portions of the concrete and j steel skeleton on the first floor, j wrecked two partitions and dam-! aged several square yards of ceiling. Loss is insured.

Police Chief Claude M. Worley personally is directing the investigation with the idea thta if there is the slightest indication that the explosion represents an attempt of racketeers to gain a foothold here they shall be crushed at the start. Labor Trouble Denied There was no evidence, however, to indicate that the dynamite was set by a racketeer or that there was any labor trouble. Workmen and employers insisted that there never had been a word between them. Arthur Baynham. president of the Arthur Baynham Construction Company which is building the structure and who also is the principal owner, pointed out that he had gone so far toward meeting the desires of his workers as to give plasterers the five day week. All workers on the job are union men excepting hod-carriers and lathers and there has been no hint that there was dissension on that score. William Hurd, city building commissioner. and two inspectors checked the building from basement to attic this morning and announced that there was not the slightest damage to the structural strength of the building and that the slight breaks on the first floor easily and safely could be repaired. Children Are Periled Despite this announcement twen-ty-three plasterers showed up for work at the regular hour this morning and decided they would not work today. They indicated that they wanted to be sure no one meant the dynamite for them. The charge is believed to have been placed under about twenty inches of plaster in a six-foot square closet in one of the apartments. All street lights on Meridian from Fall Creek to Thirty-Eighth street were blown out. Nine plate glass windows and a door in the home of G. A. Schnull. 3050 North Meriidan street, were broken. A score of children in the Rauli Memorial Library’, 3024 North Meridian street, dashed out when the blast shook the building. Police guarded the Baynham building through the night and also another apartment at 947 North Pennsylvania street the same company is building. James Meyers. 51, Negro. 510 Agnes street, nightwatehman, said he noticed no one around the apartment between the time workmen left and the moment of the blast.

Thereupon the Belgian delegation indicated its willingness to sign the new plan in which Owen D. Young, chairman of the conference, was the master mind.

FLOOD NERO HANGS SELF Worry Over Running Down Boy Leads to Suicide. Bn Times Speeial PITTSBURGH. June 4.—A man who faced death in one of its most terrifying forms and saved nineteen persons from their doom is dead here today by his own hand — a suicide who could face death undaunted, but could not face life with its bitter memories. Swinging from a rafter in his garage, the body of Michael Sabel, 65, one of the outstanding heroes of the Johnstown flood, was found this morning by a neighbor. Forty years ago last Friday, a roaring wall of- water, forty feet high and a half mile wide, swept down a narrow valley in western Pennsylvania. In fifteen minutes it had traveled a. dozen miles or more, and in its wake 2.200 people were dead and property damage totalled $10,000,000. Seven small towns and the gerater part of Johnstown were wiped out. Risked Lives for Others When the massive dam broke at the outlet of Conemaugh lake, Michael Sabel was i his home. Aroused by theterrified shouts for help from the scores of doomed neighbors who saw the tremendous flood bearing down on them at race horse speed, Sabel rushed to the rescue. Oue of the flood he save dnineteen persons, and for years afterward lived in this section of the state, honored for his exceptional deed of bravery. A week ago. this hero drove ins automobile into Raymond Poppi, who darted across a street in front of the machine. Though Sabel was innocent even of carelessness, the matter preyed on his mind. Through sleepless nights, he heard the grind of brakes, the frightened cries of the child's playmates, and the boy’s shriek of agony as the car struck him. Good News Too Late For seven days Sabel was melancholy. He called many times at the hospital to learn the condition of his little victim. Repeatedly physicians reported that Raymond could not live. The world was not the same for the flood hero, who was awarded many medals. Today reports came from the hospital that the 8-year-old victim would recover. It was the reassuring message that Michael Sabel had awaited for a week—but it came too late. Rising this morning after another night that had been only a horror to him, Sabel, unnoticed by members of the household, stole out to his garage. A few hours later his body was found —the body fcf a hero who could brave death with all its terrors, but not life with accusing memories.

bandit confesses three BANK ROBBERIES IN INDIANA

Bit United Press FT. WAYNE. Ind.. June 4. Stanley Canfield, 28. was arrested in a hotel here today and according to police admitted participation in two robberies of the State Bank at Hobbs, and one at Cutler. A man giving his name as Paul Edlew, 28. *id his address as Terre Haute, also was arrested with Canfield. He denied connection with the robberies which Canfield admitted. Both men were placed in jail and their bonds fixed at $20,000 each. Local police announced that Kokomo authorities, where Canfield formerly lived, would arrive later in the day to aid them in an investigation.

DRY SLAYER FACES JURY Tale of ‘Easy Blood Money’ to Be Bared at Hearing. Bn Tima pin rial ABINGDON. Va.. June 4.—Prohibition terrorism went on trial in Washington comity circuit court here today, when selection of a jury to try Deputy Sheriff James Crotve on a charge of murdering J. M. Kendriclf, 17-year-old college student, was completed. Out of this trial is expected to come a lurid tale of Volsteadism lawlessness, with its lure of ‘‘easy blod money’ for those sworn to uphold the dry act in southwestern Virginia. Crowe, a forbidding-looking mountaineer. pleaded not. guilty to the murder charge. Places Fees Above Lives Woven into the testimony of thsi case, which has fanned the rage of residents of this section of the state against dry snoopers, will be the story of enforcement officers who placed the high fees they receive for arrests and convictions above the lives of those w hom they track down. Kendrick, a stuoent at Emory and Henry college, was slain the nigh: of May 6. about a mile outside of Abingdon, when shots were fired from the car in which Crowe rode with Deputy Sheriff James Mcßeynolds and City Policeman W. H. Worley. The youth fell dying, a bullet in Ms head, succumbing several hours later in the Abingdon hospital. The officers claimed that they had ordered the driver of the car, Paul Phelps, a friend of Kendrick, to halt and that he had disregarded their command. Another youth, named Dutton, also was in the death car. Fee System Assailed The fee system of making arrests in this district was bitterly assailed by Prosecutor Fred Parks. It was shown that, under the law. the officers are allowed $lO for every case in which conviction is obtained, while the prosecuting attorney receives $5 and the magistrate $2.50. Worley, formerly a gypsum mine foreman, and Crowe, a mountain farmer, went into the lucrative business of liquor snooping, and. according to common report, averaged more than sls 0a week each in fees. Virtually every arrest meant charges of driving while drunk, illegal transportation of liquor—thee separate charges, carrying separate fees for each of the offenses—and dry law case acquittals in Washington county have been fed and far betweep.

Canfield said that two men he knew as Walker and Kentucky Joe aided him in one of the Hobbs robberies. and that a youth he “picked up” in Terre Haute helped him in the other. The Hobbs bank first was robbed April 5 when three unmasked bandits obtained $1,500 from the institution after herding employes into a cage. On April 15 the bank again was robbed by two men who entered firing their revolvers into the air and shouting We left part of it and we came back to get it!” They obtained $2,000. April 26 the bank of Cutler was robbed of $2,000. Canfield had been charged with complicity in all three.

“But all I want judge is just to paint—a job of painting.” a a a JUDGE WETTER drummed his fingers on top of the bench. The turnkey called Blease to “come along.” It seemed as if the courtroom was a motley gang of women porine over old portraits, signboards beckoning their wares, “raised” bills dancing on strings with an old man tottering in their midst, paint-brush in hand. Judge Wetter shook his head and then called: “Tell the boys over at the jail —that he can paint.’’

Porter County Coroner Leads Trip to Place Where Body Was Found. % HUSBAND VOICES FEAR Tm a Goner If She Gets Out,' Philanderer Tells Valparaiso Authorities. Bn United Press VALPARAISO. Ind.. June 4. Down River road, the theoretical trail over which the body of Cameola Soutar. "butterfly” dancer and skater, was carried to its grave in i the w’eeds and muck of a northern ; Indiana swamp. Mrs. Catherine j Gassier was led today by detectives {who seek to link her with Porter | county's swamp murder, i The body of Miss Soutar, a bullet i through the heart, was found by I frog hunters in swamp last j Thursday near Hebron, a mile and ; a half from the farm where Catherine Gassier and her stocky husband lived before Mrs. Cassler was arrested for an insurance murder and sentenced to be hanged. Trip on Coroner's Order „ j The visit to the swamp was or- | dered by Coroner Ebbo H. Miller, | who has heard statements of witnesses fixing the date of Miss Soutar's murder as a week ago Monday. the day she went to the Cassler home to “fix things up” with Mrs. Cassler, w’ho escaped hanging to return to her dome only a month ago. Chester Johnson, who was to have married Cammie later this month, and Truman Cassler, the husband, have accused the stolid housewife of killing the 24-year-old divorcee who stole the love of her husband ; while she lived under the shadow j of the noose in Cook county Jail, : Chicago. With Mrs. Cassler today was her ; adopted son. Edward, 18, who has ! given contradictory explanations oi 1 the automobile trip which he and ; his mother made Monday afternoon | after Cameola came to their home.. Attempts of Mrs. Cassler's attor- : neys to /aim her freedom on a writ, | of habeas corpus were unsuccessful, | Judge Grant Crumpacker ruling the ! attorneys had not shown author - [ ity to apply for the writ in behalf | of Mrs. Cassler. Auto Plates Changed Shortly before the coroner and his witnesses set out for the jouri ney to the swamp, detectives disj closed new evidence which tended to j tighten the net of circumstantial ev- | idence about Mrs. Cassler. HerI man Strawbarger of Chicago admitted that he had loaned the Cass- | iers a set of Michigan license plates I which neighbors of Mrs. Cassler identified as the plates they saw T on the small sedan in which Mrs. Cassler drove away from her home Monday, accompanied by a girl resembling Miss Soutar. Coroner Miller already has examined several minor witnesses whose statements, together with that iof Truman Cassler, accuses Mrs. i Cassler. Cassler. before he was excused by I the coroner Monday night, admitted that he had lived with the young woman while bis wife w r as in jail and said that on one occasion u r hen Mrs. Cassler returned from jail she threatened Cammie with a, revolver. Bitter Letter Revealed Mrs. Cassler's bitterness toward Miss Soutar w as revealed in the letter, written apparently to be opened after her execution and found in her home in Chicago. “At 14 I was married to this man and God only knows w’hat my life has been with him. . . Women have always meant more or less in his life. . . . Many times I paid his fine when he was arrested with another woman. . Then just tw’o days after I was arrested he took a woman into my house and gave her my victuals, also a diamond ring. Then she had the to come te the jail and tell me all this with two feet of screen between us. Then she left him and he took in another woman and threw Edward out. . . The last woman’s name is Camille.’’ A letter written by Mrs. Cassler when the hangman’s nose appeared certain to end her life, reappearing after mortths to add another bit to the accumulation of evidence in the hands of authorities here. The husband again repeated his accusations that led to Mrs. Cassler being implicated in the murder. He said his wife knew of his love affair with “Cammie'’ when the former was in jail and that the girl had gone to her cell and taunted the womal. When she was released, he said, Mrs. Cassler “beat up” her rival. Cassler appeared nervous and said he feared for his life. “I’ll be the next one sure,” he said. “Shell get me. If she gets out of this mess, I’m a goner. She’ll never forgive me for what I've said in this case.” MOTHER-IN-LAW B?ATEN Illinois Attorney to Be Tried for Alleged Attack. B't Unite.d Press , .
