- V TIffINCOP'S MURDER SOUGHT Two-Year Hunt for Trio Is Ended in Man’s Arrest in California. The state’s legal machinery was in motion today to return to Indianapolis two of three alleged gunmen who are to be accused of the murder of Motor Policeman Paul Miller, in Brightwood, July 17. 1928. Two-year hunt for the trio was ended Monday with the arrest in Los Angeles of Carl Champion, 26. Thomas J. McKnight, 27, said to have fired shots that wounded Miller fatally, was arrested in Tulsa, Okla., Saturday night. With Champion’s arrest, detectives here revealed that the third member of the baud, and the source of their information as to identity of the other two, Is Sanford Satterfield, convict hr McAlester (Okla.) prison. Returned Murder Bills Following Satterfield's confession last December to Detective Sergeant William Miller, at the Oklahoma prison, where the convict is serving a term for grand larceny, Marion county grand jury returned indictments against Champion, McKnight and Satterfield. Sergeant Miller left for Tulsa today to extradite McKnight and Satterfield. Detective Jess McCarty left for Los Angeles today for extradition of Champion, Police Chief Jerry E. Kinney said. Miller was wounded mortally by one of two suspicious characters whom he approached in front of a grocery at Twenty-fifth and Station streets, having been sent there to investigate their prowling about a group of neighborhood stores. According to Satterfield’s confession, he was lookout for the others, who were planning a robbery or holdup. Grilling Is Failure Several days after the murder, all three were arrested together with more than twenty other suspects, but released when grilling by detectives failed to attach any evidence on them. Claim for a SI,OOO reward for arrest and conviction of the policemans murderer will be made by W. R. Odom, Tulsa deputy sheriff, he indicated today in a telegram to Chief Kinney. Champion, a carpenter, married, and father of two small girls, denied complicity in the crime, stating he never had been in Indianapolis, according to word from a Las Angeles sheriff. Fred Simon, chief of detectives, said a telegraphed description of Champion tallied well with that of the man sought for the murder. RUNS FOR STATE POST Gr.rritt M.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CENSUS TAKERS TOE LINE READY TO START TASK ‘Question and Answer Men’ to Begin House Tour Here Wednesday. The big “question and answer men” of the United States toed the starting line today, prepared to dash into the job of compiling the fifteenth decennial census in Indianapolis and Marion county Wednesday. Under the direction of Delbert O. Wilmeth, Eighth district supervisor, 325 enumerators were armed with question and answer sheets and will start rapping on front doors to query housewives. The workers were given final instructions at 2 p. m. today when they met at the federal building. For the next thirty days, at least, the census workers will be at it. They will spend their eight-hour days going from one house to another asking questions and getting answers, if housewives aren’t too busy with cooking and housework. In addition to the individual census, enumerators have the job of gathering data on Indianapolis industries while the out-county group will query farmers. Questions this year include information on the family “castle,” whether it is paid for or rented; ownership of a radio; ages at last birthdays; ages at first marriage, and “marital condition.” In addition, the questions of employment and whether or not householders are veterans of service in wars also will be asked. In referring to employment, enumerators will want to know how long persons have been working on present jobs, and in case the per-

Taxing the Railroads The taxes placed upon the railroads of the United States for 1929 exceeded 400 million dollars. Railway taxes first exceeded 100 million dollars in 1911. In 1917 they exceeded 200 million. Tn 1922 they exceeded 300 million. Now they are more than 400 million. In eighteen years they have increased from $280,000 a day to $1,100,000 a day. Everyone uses railway service in some form and thus helps to pay the taxes that are collected from the railroads. In 1913 the average dollar paid to the railroads for freight and passenger service bought 96.2 cents of transportation, the tax collectors taking 3.8 cents. In 1929 the average dollar paid for railway service bought only 93.7 cents of transportation, because the tax collectors took 6.3 cents. On the average, railway employes to the number of 377,500, with 54,200 miles of railroad, 12,700 locomotives, 11,600 passenger-train cars, 506,700 freight cars and other railway facilities to a total value of $6,000,000,000, worked all last years not for the owners of the railroads but to earn the money to pay railway taxes. This statement is made in order to give the real payers of railway taxes information to which we believe they are entitled. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. L. A.
