EMPLOYERS SAY ‘AGITATION’ IS AIM OF LEAGUE Association Assails Union Labor Movement in City Election. Asserting that the issue of the city election, Nov. 5, is that of "clean, economical and efficient city government," directors of the Associated Employers of Indianapolis, today, in letters to manufacturers, merchants and employers, asked that citizens vote for "their own candidates." The assertion was brought about, according to the letters, by the issuance of statements by the Workers' Nonpolitical Action Leacue, Inc., in which, it is said. Alfred M. Glossbrenner. Republican mayoralty candidate, was attacked because of his connections with "various associations, Including the employers’ organization." "We regret this fictitious question of 'unionism’ has arisen under such adverse conditions,” the letters stated. Ascoriation Is Nonpartisan “The Associated Employers of Indianapolis is a strictly nonpartisan organization, which includes employers of different political beliefs in its membership. Our association had no part in creating the issue of ‘unionism’ in the present election campaign and it is not attempting to dictate the choice of candidates or parties. “Since the city manager statute was declared invalid, the leaders of the alleged union labor ‘Political Action League.’ have injected themselves into the present city election campaign, not so much to promote the success or defeat of some particular candidate, but to agitate and mislead laboring people and other citizens, in furtherance of the unionizing scheme union leaders formulated several weeks ago, when they inaugurated a city-wide campaign, undertaking to unionize the businesses, industries and working people of the city.” Danger in Apathy The letter said that the "danger lies not in the assumed strength of union labor, but in the apathetic and doubtful attitude among thousands of other voters. ‘ Every member of our association should, as a matter of business policy, confer with his employes to make sure their minds are set .clear on the important fact that, in the present city election campaign, the fundamental issue at stake is that of clean, efficient, economical, honest and impartial city government, administered on the basis of merit and business management in all public affairs, so that the city's working people may all the more clearly vote for candidates of their own choosing at the polls Nov. 5, which is ‘citizens’ day.” ORDINANCE ON BOND ISSUE IS CORRECTED Council Fcpasses Measure for Addition at Hospital. The amended ordinance authorizing an $875,000 bond issue for city hospital building program was passed Friday night at a special session of council. The original ordinance passed Monday night was amended after Mayor L. Ert Slack vetoed it because the date for beginning of the interest period fell on Sunday, Dec. 1. It was changed to Dec. 10. The health board hopes to award con- | tracts before expiration of the coun- j oil’s term Jan. 6. Edward B. Raub, council presi- i dent, said no steps will be taken to amend the city traffic ordinance : unless an amendment is submitted by the board of safety. Police Chief Claude M. Worley has urged tightening the section of minor traffic offenses to permit police to make arrests on sight, instead of giving stickers.

By Vnited Press LONDON, Oct. 26.—Americans are returning to the life of the Red Indians and are going back to “feathers,” George Bernard Shaw believes.

Your complexions are getting redder and redder. You treat your women like squaws. You are going back to feathers.” A spokesman for the visiting students expressed the hope that Shaw might learn differently about Americans if he were to visit the United States. His comment brought the following reply: "AH Americans worthy of anything come to see me.” Church Has Tag Day Mt.

I LAKE DISASTER HOPE RENEWED, FOLLOWING FIND One of Sailors in Small Boat Lived Until Friday, Belief. By I nitrd Press CHICAGO, Oct. 26.—Hope that some of the fifty-two sailors missing since the Grand Trunk car ferry went down in Lake Michigan during the storm Tuesday night might still be alive flared up today and sped searchers by boat and airplane. Four bodies were found Friday night lashed to a nearly submerged lifeboat. Twenty-five miles northwest of St. Joseph, Mich. The men had died of exposure and not di owning. coast guardsmen said, and they expressed the belief one was alive until Friday. The discovery indicated at least some of the crew of the ferry had i time to take to lifeboats and tended to discount the prevalent theory the big craft dived suddenly under the water when its cargo of twentysewn loaded freight cars shifted to one side. This brought to nine the bodies recovered. Five victims, all of whom had perished by drowning, were found off Kenosha, Wis., near where the ferry went down. Coast guardsmen said they found the lifeboat bearing the four bodies in the midst of wreckage, planks, hatch covers ad a part of the Milwaukee’s pilot house. They took the corpses to St. Joseph to await identification. Flags on public buildings flew at half-mast at Grand Haven, Mich., where eight homes were saddened by loss of fathers, brothers and sons. Public funeral cervices probably will be held in churches there ' Sunday for the victims. START CREDIT UNION New Organization Limits Membership to Jews.

He leaned forward in his chair syddenly. his eyes glowing. “A detective!” he explained. I know just the right man. What s the matter with my head? Why didn't I think of that long ago? Frank Sheridan, of course!” “Frank Sheridan?” Wilber repeated. The only Frank Sheridan I know of is a lawyer. Not much of a lawyer, either; I never heard of his trying a case. More of an idler, I should surmise, and certainly no detective.” “That’s the fellow,” said Smedley “but you’ve got him wrong. He is no idler and he is a mighty good lawyer, though he does not practice. He is immensely wealthy and is kept fairly busy managing his investments. He has offices in the Hume-Mansur building and he is on the Job every day. Let me tell you about h m ” “Go ahead,” said Wilber, "but I can’t see ” "You will in a moment,” Smedley interrupted. “Frank Sheridan is i about my age, 28 or 29. We were J classmates in Indiana university law school and became close friends. He is a whimsical sort of fellow, intensely alive and interested in every phase of life. ! "Sheridan has a keen, analytical mind, with almost uncanny power to go to the bottom of a knotty problem. A mystery, a puzzling situation is a challenge to his mind; he can not rest until he has probed it. "His hobby is the Psychology of crime. He is intrigued by the queer I twists in the brains of men that lead them to break the rules of society, “In his leisure hours he haunts the police courts and attends the major criminal trials at the courthouse. This has thrown him in close touch with me and my work. He often sits with me during the progress of a trial and his whispered suggestions in cross-examination many times have given me the cues to important evidence hidden in the minds oi stubborn witnesses. “The processes of the human mind seem to be an open book to him. I have consulted him with great profit in the preparation of difficult criminal cases, and sometimes he has voluntarily made personal subrosa investigations which have changed the whole trend of a case. “Frank Sheridan either could be a great trial lawyer or a great detective if necessity ever should compel him to earn a living. As it is, he plays the game only as he chooses and only for the fun of it; he never accepts a fee. “But present to him a problem that strikes his fancy and he is off like a hound on the trail, barking joyously. x , “With it all, he has an extremely attractive personality, a rare sense of humor and a violent dislike for personal publicity. He is the soul of honor, a man you could trust with your most carefully guarded S€crct< “If we can interest him in the recovery of the lost diary, your worries on that score soon will be at an end. If there is any way of unmasking the burglar, Sheridan will find that way.” “You have made out a good case, but would Sheridan be interested in such a commonplace burglary?” Wilber asked. “Commonplace!” Smedley exclaimed, “you don’t call the story you have told me commonplace! Frank will eat it up. Let me call him.” His hand went out to the extension phone on the desk. “Trust me in this, Mr. Wilber,” he said gravely, “you will never regret it."

SHEILA had no more returned to the living room from the laboratory than a small coupe swung into the driveway and came to a stop at the veranda entrance. A pair of shapely, silk-clad legs, supporting a lissome body in a smare summer fiock, backed out of the car, and a bareheaded girl ran lightly up the steps. “Lo, Bheila, old thing!” she called, banging the screen door and catapulting herself into the room. She pounced upon Sheila and planted a vigorous kiss upon her cheek. “That’s just like you, Edna,” said Sheila with a laugh. “No iflonder, Andy calls you the ‘whirlwind.’ By the way, are you trailing Andy?” “Andy, who said anything about Andy? For the love of Pete, is he here ?” “Uh-huh, he's upstairs now. repairing the damage to a lacerated heart . . . well, not that, exactly . . . but just wait till you see him,” Sheila said darkly and continued in mock alarm, “I think I hear stealthy footsteps approaching.” Andy, his cheek sporting a wad of cotton held in place by a Jong strip of adhesive plaster, came down the slairs, three steps at a time. “I hear thy enchanting voice, Edna, my love, and the wings of my ardor wafted me gently to thee,” he declaimed, striking an attitude. “No, no!” he continued as he noted a startled expression on Edna's face; "don’t you dare ask who hit me. ’Tis nothing! I walked Into a door in the dark.” “Y£s, and I suppose you beat up the door,” retorted Edna. “Sarcastic one, I refuse to explain, but have no fear. Sheila will give you an earful. And I must be on my way, much as I long to bask in thy charms. “A rapacious garage man, not to mention the police, are awaiting me, Sheila. Where's my hootch? Ah, there you are, come to papa, baby.” Andy lifted the Gladstone bag from the floor and was out of the door in a flash. “Poor Andy,” Sheila said, gazing after his retreating figure. “I wish he would settle down. It is all right to be modern, but Andy overdoes it.” “Oh, Andy’ll be all right when he grows up,” Edna replied. “He’s all right now when he’s sober, but give him a few highballs and . . Her voice trailed off. “Nevertheless,” she continued slowly, “I do like that boy.” “I’ll say you do,” remarked Sheila significantly. u n n EDNA ROGERS was Sheila’s closest friend. They had been chums through high school and at the university, though not In the same classes. Edna, barely 20, was two years younger than her friend. She lived with her widowed mother

in a fine old home on Pennsylvania street. Her father, a business man, had been dead a number of years, but he had left his widow and only child in more than comfortable circumstances. There was a striking likeness in the two chums, despite Edna's brunet coloring and smaller stature. “They have been so much together, they have grown to look alike,” Edna’s mother often said. After Andy’s departure the girls settled down for a chat. Sheila detailed the exciting news of Andy’s accident and the laboratory safe robbery. “But you mustn't say anything about the burglary,” Sheila cautioned. “For some unfathomable reason, papa wants it kept quiet. He hasn't even notified the police. And he won't tell me a thing! Though he says nothing valuable was stolen he Is deeply worried. "When he was so long in the laboratory this morning I went to look for him. He was sitting in a chair near the safe, with his head in his hands, and as I stepped to the door I heard him say, in the strangest voice: ‘ "Frances, Frances, can you forgive me?’ "You know.
