LAKE CO. TRUE BILLS MAY HIT HIGH FIGURES Big Politicians Are Hinted Named in 53 Remaining Unannounced. 120 ARE UNDER'ARREST Officials at East Chicago Held: Action Promised in Vote Frauds. flu Time* Special SOUTH BEND. Oct. s.—With the names of only 120 persons revealed ot the 300 named *in 181 indictments returned by the United States grand jury Friday afternoon. Calumet political circles show concern today as reports gain credence that the names of high political figures of northern Indiana would be revealed in fifty-three secret true bills accusing sixty persons. Surfeited by a long series of reports and rumors of spectacular developments ever since the start of the grand jury investigation five weeks ago. Lake County found grounds for support of a belief that sensational developments will follow In the tactics of federal prosecuting officers. District Attorney Oliver M. Loomis announced only the identities of those indicted who already have been placed under arrest. These included East Chicago's mayor, chief of police and detective chief, and numerous policemen, drug peddlers, bootleggers and vice resort operators of the northern half of the state. A lieutenant of the A1 Capone liquor machine also was indicted. Most of Force Involved Mayor Raleigh P. Hale, arrested ; in* the East Chicago raids two months ago must face trial on charges of conspiracy to import j Canadian liquor into Lake county. | with him on the indictment charg- j ing thirteen overt acts are four members of his police department —Chief James Regan, Detective Chief Martin Zarkovich and Detective Sergeant Pat Ramey. Lester Ottenheimer an East Chicago attorney was indicted for obstructing justice. He is charged with having attempted to take some papers from department of justice agents. Arrest of defendants named in the bill will be started Monday. Before the grand jury'reported, John S. Pratt, special United States attorney-general, announced that the election fraud angle of the case j would be put over until the new j grand jury is called about Dec. 1. Promise Diligence “All new leads which the government now has, and all new leads which may be uncovered, will be diligently followed up,” Pratt declared. Thus the election frauds investigation is deferred until more than a year after the conspiracy is alleged to have taken place. First charges of election law violation were heard by the regular grand jury session here in June. The jurors found insufficient evidence for indictments, but recommended a continuance of the investigation. The jury again was summoned in September, but was overwhelmed soon in a maze of liquor and vice conspiracy evidence, upon which the report Friday was based.

JURY SOBS AS EUNICE TELLS ATTACK STORY Pantages Defense Hints of Extortion Plot Fail to Break Testimony; Young Dancer to Wear Red Dress Monday. BY' GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES. Oct. s.—The the People vs. Alexander Pantages stood adjourned today, but the pitiful story of 17-year-old Eunice Pringle, who claims the millionaire theatrical magnate assaulted her, still echeod in the ears of urors and spectators. Clad in a flaming red dress instead of the quiet blue she has worn since the beginning of the trial, Miss Pringle will return to the witness stand Monday to toermit Pantages’ attorneys, who are seeking to save him from a one to fifty-year sentence in San Quentin, to resume their efforts to break down her accusations. Prospect of a grand Jury investigation of alleged tampering with witnesses in the case was subordinated in interest to the slim school girl's testimony, which several times during Friday’s session had members of the jury in tears.

WOUNDED YOUTH BLAMES BANDIT John Ebert Is Near Death . With Bullet in Lung. Critically wounded, John Ebert, 19, of 330 Roena avenue, today was unable or refused to name the man ; who shot him through the lung Friday night. To police he contends his assailant was a bandit, who whirled on him with a gun, on Taft streft near his home, and^commanded: “Stick ’em up!” Before he could raise his hands, Ebert said, the man fired twice. The youth ran to Harvest and Taft streets, where he fell unconscious. Guy West. 21, of 1127 South Denison street, a neighbor, saw the wounded boy, and took him home, from where he was removed to city hospital. Physicians said today there was tlitle chance for his recovery. Ebert gave no description of the gunman. West, questioned by police, is said to have accounted for his movements aftar having previdusly taken the boy from his home to Washington and Taft streets, near where the shooting occurred. Ebert also exonerated West. Despite belief of police that Ebert could name, or otherwise identify his assailant, when faced today with the knowledge that he probably will die, the youth said only: “I want to get the man that shot me.” LLOYD GEORGE ILL Britain Disturbed by News From Sick Bed. flu T’nited Pren NOTTINGHAM. England, OctT 5. —News that Lloyd George was confined to his bed with a high temperature and abnormal pulse provoked great anxiety here today.

Using soft answers to turn away wrathy defense questions, the University of California co-ed who wanted to become a great actress spent six hours on the witness stand Friday telling and retelling the story which may convict Pantages of assault on a minor. Extortion Hinted For three of those hours she was subjected to a merciless cross-ex-amination by Jerry Giesler, who sought by innuendo, implication and almost direct charges to indicate she was a pawn in an attempt to extort from the theater magnate some of his reputed $50,000,000. But despite this grilling her story was not changed in any substantial fact. She broke down frequently, almost became hysterical at times, but she clung to her declaration that Alexander Pantages forcibly assaulted her in his private office on Aug. 9. Even when in tears she was polite always. “No, sir,” and "Yes, sir,” she answered, or "Why, I could not do that, sir. 1 ' She never forgot the "Sir.” She appeared about to break down when she recited the events said took place in Pantages’ conference room. She told in every detail the manner in which she claims she was assaulted. She sobbed throughout the recital—and so did two members of the jury. She claimed that Pantages promised her stage work and then used violence to attack her after he lured her to his office. The narration was unprintable at many points. May Draw Comparison She seemed about, to break again when the defense insisted that she put on the red dress in which she went to Pantages’ office in search of work that afternoon. The defense made no revelation concerning its move, but it was presumed it later would draw* a contrast between the flaming red of that gown and the somber clothing she has w*orn in court. One of the highlights of the afternoon was the meeting between Pantages. one-time gold miner and bartender in the Klondike, and Kate Rockwell, former queen of one of Dawson City’s dance halls. After long friendship, the pair parted bitterly years ago. Pantages, walking out of the courtroom at a recess, went over to Kate Rockwell. “Hello. Kate,” he said. “How are you, Alex,” she answered. He talked to her in an undertone as she wiped away the tears. “Alex speaking to me that wray Just bowled me over,” she told newspapermen later. Kate Rockwell was i summoned here as a witness against Pantages.

FRANKNESS TO MARK MEETING OF STATESMEN Informal Conversations of Hoover and Premier Confined to Peace. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.—A1l w ready today for one of the most important conference between w*orld statesmen held since the World war. Provided the weather permits Herber Hoover and Ramsay MacDonald. heads of the two most powerful governments in the world, will sit around the blazing hearth of the presidential camp on the Rapidan river. Should rain spoil that program, the two will talk in the President’s "upstairs den in the White House. Though their conversations will be unrecorded and unofficial, they may be all the more important for that very reason. The problem of world peace, In its wider aspects, wall be the principal

topic, it was made clear by spokesmen for both participants. Various matters which will contribute to improved relations between Great Britain and the United States, as well as to closer accord among other nations of the world, will be discussed frankly. The coming disarmament conference will occupy attention, though no technical matters will come up. In the strongest terms, Hoover will assure MacDonald the American attitude is one of extreme simplicity. This country, Hoover will tell the premier, is ready to reduce its fleet to any size Great Britain decides she can accept. The personal nature of the conversations is counted to lead to a frank and undiplomatic exchange of views on matters that otherwise might be barred. There will be no diplomats or statesmen at the camp when Hoover and MacDonald talk. Only MacDonald and his daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Hoover, and a few others will be in the camp. It is conceivable the American President may ask his guest’s thoughts on recognition of Russia. MacDonald recognized the Soviet during his first premiership, and there are indications he may do so again. There are rumors Hoover has been studying this problem intensively. Hoover also may inquire about MacDonald’s reaction to the proposal of a United States of Europe, as suggested by Premier Briand of France. Despite reports to the contrary, there will be no discussion of the pending tariff bill. There will be no talk of reparations or debts. There will, it can be stated authoritatively, be no mention of “alliances or agreements,” even in the form of pacts for preserving world peace. It was pointed out, in connection with MacDonald's visit, that the United States enters alliance with nobody. Negotiation of the preliminary Hcover-MacDonald naval accord has aroused some fears on this subject among other parley powers. America's entry into the League of Nations or even the world court will not be brought up. FORD PLANES HOP OFF Thirty Entrants in Air Tour Leave Detroit for Windsor. Rti f vital Prrsg DETROIT, Oct, s.—Thirty entrants in the 5,000-mile Ford reliability air tour were ready to take off early today on the first hop to Windsor, Ontario.

MA’ CHIDED PASTOR AS ‘TOO SLOW,’ HE TESTIFIES

Bu United Frees SEATTLE, Oct. 5.—A bashful lover, so backward that Ma Kennedy chided him for being "too slow,” was Ihe picture the Rev. Harry H. ,Clark drew of himself while giggles and chuckles swept the audience hearing his $50,000 heart balm suit against the mother of Aimee Semple McPherson Friday. It was a hard day for the minister, what with the giggling and the searching questions of attorneys cross-examining him. There was the possibility also of a non-suit being declared. Superior Judge Ronald took under advisement a motion by Mrs. Minnie E. Kennedy’s counsel for dismissal or non-suit, charging Clark instituted his action after attempts at blackmail had failed. The motion came as a surprise immediately after attorneys for Clark had rested their case. The giggles got on the nerves of the \ovelom pastor. "Make them stop laughing at me,” he demanded of Judge Ronald. But the Judge couldn’t. The droll testimony of Clark was too much. “I was slower than she to respond,” he declared, “and she

She encouraged me and that helped fan the spark of love.” “Yout mean to say you were slow when you met her in a motion picture theater and seven days later were with her in a hotel room?” asked John S. Robinson, counsel for Mrs. Kennedy. The minister was stumped for an answer. Many times during the session he appeared not to hear questions and at others he remarked: "I don’t remember. It is difficult for me to reconstruct those things now.” Once he turned to Judge Ronald and said: ’’l'm tired. I'm so tired I can hardly remember things." When he stepped off the witness stand he hack withstood days of questioning and the ordeal had left him pale and shaky. Judge Ronald announced he would give his decision on the non-suit motion when court resumed Monday morning. He cautioned counsel for the plaintiff that admission of blackmail prior to the asserted breach of promise would result in dismissal of the case.

After sweeping all serious opposition from the field, George V. Coffin, Republican city chairman, was prepared to place his ticket of proposed nominees for mayor, city clerk and councilmen before precinct leaders this afternoon. Precinct committeemen and women from 241 precincts were to throng the auditorium of the K. of P. building at 2 this afternoon to do Coffin’s bidding.

Gay Quits Field Withdrawal of Elmer F. Gay, of the Pettis Dry Goods Company from the mayoralty nomination race late Friday, marked the end of Coffin opposition. Gay said he was withdrawing for the best interest of Indianapolis. Inner-organization troubles continued to irritate Coffin this morning as many precinct workers grumbled about Samps'ell’s name being carried as city clerk nomination candiate. Reports were current Sampsell might not be on the ticket this afternoon. After long conferences Friday, Coffin prevailed on Roy T. Combs, deputy sheriff and president of the Marion County Good Government Club, to abandon his race for the Sixth district councilmanic nomination. During the ward chairmen’s meeting Friday afternoon the Rev. U. S. Johnson, Fountain Square l Christian church pastor, was introduced as the Sixth district candidate, but today Coffin announced Denker, Fountain Square clothier, as his candidate.

CITY MANAGER WILL CONTINUE 'IN OFFICE Ogden Rules Government Is Legal Pending Next Election. City manager government will remain intact in Michigan City until councilmen to be elected Nov. 5, assume office Jan. 1. This was the substance of a ruling made public late Friday by Attorney General James M. Ogden. The ruling had been asked by Governor Harry G. Leslie, upon request of Michigan City authorities. Ogden conferred with A. R. Couden, city manager; Louis H. Krueger, city attorney; and Walter C. Williams, former city attorney of Michigan City, before announcing his decision. Michigan City had the only city manager government in the state and it was overthrown when the supreme court declared the city manager law unconstitutional. It has been functioning there since 1921.
