BOMB OUTRAGE IS GANG REPLY IN CRIME WAR Counter Offensive Started by Citizens’ Army Commander. BY RAY BLACK. United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—The roar of a "Big Bertha” bomb that had blown a near north side laundry into wreckage and Injured two bystanders, was the ominous echo on which a tall, gray-eyed engineer began his battle today to rid Chicago of gang menace. With a secret group of industrial and commercial leaders as his council of war and an apparently unlimited reserve of gold on which to draw, Robert Isham Randolph, who learned what fighting means with *he American army overseas, ma, _ and out his campaign with the coolness of a World war general. Mast of the near north side was rocked by Tuesday night’s explosion. Residents were hurled from their beds in the district surrounding the two-story building housing the Northwestern Laundry Company, and ran to the streets in terror. Patients Terrorized Darkness added to the confusion as switches in the nearby plant of the Commonwealth Edison Company were thrown out. Patients at the Ciucago General nospital were terrorized by the roar, followed by tremors and failing lights. Mrs. Elsi Foreman, walking in the street with her husband, was struck on the head by flying glass and taken to a hospital. Randolph, the generalissimo of big business’ war against the racketeers, was expected to call his stall together at once to plan a counterattack. More than 2.000 arrests already have been made. Gangsters Leave Who his aids are only Randolph and a few other leading figures in the Chicago Association of Commerce know. Their plans are secret. But out of the daily conferences of the generalissimo and the business leaders are expected to come a succession of offtnsives with a gangless Chicago as the ultimate objective. Already the exodus of gunmen from the city has brought complaints from other cities, including points throughout Illinois and adjoining states. Indictments returned here against nineteen gunmen Tuesday impressed gangland that big business means business when it says this is to be war without quarter. With the exception of Tuesday night’s bombing, police records showed fewer Crimes than in weeks. POLICE SEEK NEGROES Two Face Drunk Charges Following Series of Auto Accidents.

GEMS OF HUMANITY

Just Waiting for Mothers* Anns

BY ARCH STEINEL SHE is a curly-head. Divorced parents have put her in an Indiana county home to say her “lay-me-down-to-sleeps” nightly with a prayer’s end. “Bring me a make-believe mama and papa, dear God.” He is all boy. Death orphaned him and he, too, prays for a "sureenough pop what’s got a dog and pony,” just as 200 other dependent ennaren in the state pray by their Institutional beds. For the board of charities announced today that Indiana has 200 children like “Curly-Locks” and “All-Boy” who are ready to go into foster homes if that number of substitutes will come to bat in the Parental League.

“We have 2,300 dependent children in county homes of the state and of those 2,300, several hundred are waiting for someone who’ll just pretend they’re their mothers and fathers,” declared j. A. Brown, secretary of the board of charieties. a a a AND If you want a child, one of the 200, you can get him just like trying on anew pair of shoes, dress or jewelry. For instance, say you want a red-haired lad, a big noise-maker; or, maybe “All-Boy” and his dreams of a pony and dog hit your eye; or, mayhaps, it’s “Cur-ly-Locks” and her winsome ways —then you apply in writing Room 416, children's department of the board of charities, at the statehouse. Six field agents of the board scoure the county homes of the state in a search for the exact replica of temperament, character, physique, that you desire. When they’ve found your “AllBoy” or “Curly-Locks,” they’ll let you see their selection. If he or she doesn’t suit you maybe some one else will, and so like a department store you can exchange for a different pattern of humanity. But is isn’t all shopping on your part, for the board of charities does a bit of private shopping for parents on their own account and for “All-boy” and “CurlyLocks.” If you don’t suit as a mother or “dad.” then “Curly-Locks” and “All-Boy” go back to their institutional beds and their institutional prayers of “Bring me another papa and mama, dear God.” Seeks State Office SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 12. Herman J. Weinke, South Bend, announces he will seek the Democratic nomination for secretary of state. Weinke served as state representative from St. Joseph county in the 1927 session of the legislature.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SOVIET STAND ON RELIGION IS BRITON TARGET Archbishop of Canterbury Denounces ‘Persecutions’ in Russia. Bv United Press LONDON, Feb. 12.—The archbishop of Canterbury, primate of all England, joined with Pope Pius and the archbishop of York today in denouncing “religious persecutions” in Soviet Russia. The upoer house of convocation, consisting of diocesan bishops in the church province of Canterbury, unanimously adopted the archbishop’s motion protesting against the anti-religious movement in Russia. The motion asked all members of the church to join in prayer in behalf of church followers in Russia and expressed the conviction that the Soviet must change its policy toward religion if it expects to maintain cordial relations with England. The arGhbishop, presiding at the meeting at church house, also read a message from King George, which said the king “fervently joined in prayer to the Almighty God for Increase of the influence of religion by renewal of faith and strengthening of the spiritual consciousness of members of the church.” Suicide Buried Bv Times Roecial BROOKSTON, Ind., Feb. 12.

EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL STATEMENT To the Policy-holders! I wonder if you know how important you with other Policy-holders have collectively become in the economic life of the world. You think of your life insurance as an important factor in your plans for yourself and your families but I doubt whether you yet comprehend what you are actually doing for the world at large. I am speaking to you now as a part of the 70,000,000 people insured in all companies in the United States and Canada. I am speaking to you as part owner of the $19,000,000,000 which has actually been assembled for the protection of beneficiaries under the $110,000,000,000 of coverage which now exists. Never before in the history of the world have individuals voluntarily, privately and cooperatively pledged such a sum for mutual protection or for any purpose. The coverage exceeds the total resources of all the hanks in the United States and Canada, including savings banks, by about $34,000,000,000. It is equal to all the resources of all our Foundations and Endowments for Education and Research, multiplied many times. Our educational, medical, scientific and charitable institutions are in the hands of trustees whose powers are wisely limited by the terms of the instruments on which the trusts rest. The Trustees of these foundations seldom have any very wide discretion as to how funds under their control shall be distributed. Neither have we. Outstanding life insurance ($110,000,000,000) is the greatest trust ever created. It, too, is managed by Trustees. The Trustees are the Directors of the various companies with whom continuously sit certain familiar figures. They are Life, Death, Disability, Necessity and Old Age. Death has heretofore been a terrible figure because life was not organized against him. Now life is so organized. Death will ultimately come to all of us. Nobody doubts that and nobody can change it. The terror of Death (I am not now considering any religious question) lies in his cruel, remorseless and uncertain stroke. In that has been his victory. Life Insurance faces Death not as a Terror but as a fact and deals with him just as it deals with bonds or real estate mortgages. Let me show you how vital those $110,000,000,000 are. Back of these pledged billions lie three great forces. First—the $19,000,000,000 in cash and securities in hand; Second—the seventy million people who have contracted, directly or indirectly, to pay future premiums; Third—the power of compound interest. Together they make that $110,000,000,000 the most vital and useful force in all sociology. Now try to visualize what is coming. Outstanding Insurance will become $200,000,000,000, $300,000,000,000, possibly much more, but it will always have those three great forces, the first two correspondingly increased, behind it. Because of its peculiar relation to the weaknesses and needs of human life it is and always will be worth more than a like sum in cash. To illustrate— Death sits with this great Board of Trustees and Death still strikes hut, in your case, not as of old. Life also sits with the Board and by quickly translating individual productive power into cash it despoils Death of his old and faithful servitor, Poverty. Disability, crueler than Death, also sits with that Board and demands and receives stipulated sums when the bread winner fails and becomes a burden. Necessity and Old Age also sit with that Board and are covered by the underlying instruments. All these benefits are specified in the Great Deed of Trust: the policies in force. Some of you, most I hope, will agree when I say that Life Insurance has come to be the most important beneficial enterprise in the manifold problems of living. My main point is that you, beginning with your individual needs and obligations, have not only minimized the terrors of Death, Disability and Old Age but you have come, as a group, to be one of the largest holders of useful securities in the world. You are the only group that ever existed having the courage and sanity in the current problems of living to rob Death of his terrors by dealing with him as an ultimate fact. Asa group you are not capitalists, yet you have become the greatest of capitalists. Following your impulse of self-protection you have created the greatest of all beneficial institutions. Seeking to banish the need of charity from your own household, you have shown how the need of charity may be completely banished from every household. New York, January 27, 1930. DARWIN P.
