$175,000 WILL BE SPENT TO EQUIP PLANT Indiana Service Company at Marion Announces Program. $8,000,000 GGAL SET Showers Furniture Plant Officials Plan for Greater Volume. BY CHARLES C. STONE State Editor, The Times Among outstanding developments of the week in Indiana industry was announcement that $175,000 will be spent at Marion in equipping the new $75,000 building of the Indiana General Service Company, producer of electricity. This work will complete the third and final stage of placing all electric service in Marion under automatic control. The improvements will increase the output of the plant from a capacity of 12,000 kilowatts to 15,000. Stockholders of the Showers Brothers Furniture Company, meeting at Bloomington, were told by officials that it is probable the company will be on a basis of capacity production by June 30, with anticipated sales for the year set at $8,000,000, an increase of $1,000,000 over 1929. All Factories Working Industry at Anderson shows a marked improvement, with every plant except one, which is working four to five days, running on a full schedule and two small factories using extra shifts. The only unemployment problem affects men engaged in construction w r ork, as little of that is being done in the city this season. Aladdin Industries, Inc., Alexandria, has awarded a contract for a plant addition 90 by 160 feet. When the structure is completed, the corporation's shipping department, now in Chicago, will be moved to Alexandria. The unit will be of fireproof construction. Coincident with announcement that the Indiana Limeston. Company, operating in the BloomingtonBedford field, had received a thirty-six-car load order for use in construction of the Potomac Power and Light Company building at Washington. stone company officials said that limestone now constitutes 57 per cent of all building stone shipped in the United States. The Greenfield Chamber of Commerce, aided by more than 200 residents of the city, financed building of a factory structure with floor , space of 12,000 square feet to be oc- j cupied by a garment making con- i cern headed by Max Friedman. New' ! York. The building cost $19,000, and constitutes part of the chamber’s plan for industrial expansion in , Greenfield. Railroad to Be Improved Forty car loads of steel rails have j arrived for use in improving the j Central Indiana railroad line between Anderson and Lebanon, through Noblesville. When track replacing is completed, three new locomotives will be put into use. With completion of rebuilding a stack at the Gary works of the Illinois Steel Company, preparations were made for the same work on another stack. One rebuilt furnace now has a capacity of 1,000 tons of pig iron daily. Nine of the twelve furnaces comprising the works are in operation. A SIO,OOO addition is being built at the plant of the E. B. Lanman Company, East Chicago, manufacturer of bolts, nuts and washers. At South Bend, excavation has been started for the tw'elve-story Hoffman hotel which is to be connected with Hotel La Salle by a bridge. Manufacture of baby carriages will be added to the activities of the Watters & Portman factory at Kendallville. necessitating an increase of twenty-five in the working force. Officials of several Elkhart, industries express a belief that the business slump of the past several months is at an end and cite a gradual increase in orders in the past few weeks as the basis for their opinions. Leaders Optimistic Among officials subscribing to the optimistic outlook are those of the Chicago Telephone Supply Company, which has increased its force 300 in the last three weeks; Henry Weis Manufacturing Company, Metal Forming Corporation. Elcar Motor Company, Buescher Band Instrument Company. American Coating Mills. Dr. Miles Medical Company and the Elkhart Packing Company. Building in South Bend during April shows a gain of 66 per cent over March, on the basis of permits issued. The April total was $534,000. A new high gravity oil field is to be developed in the Terre Haute section, according to Lucky Jim Thomas, who, with associates, operates more than four hundred producing oil and gas wells in Kentucky and Illinois. The section to be developed is in Sullivan and Vigo counties. •FATHErTeEDS a BATH; SEND SOME POLICE OUT!’ And City Cops Wonder if It’s so or Just “Boogey” Story.

CHURCH MOVES TO ROUT LOAN SHARKS

St. Roch’s Members Form Credit Union to Boost Thrift, Curb Usury. Members of St. Roch’s Catholic church are planning to beat the loan sharks by organization of a co-operative credit union. Thursday night, 250 members of the church, led by their pastor, the Rev. Peter Pfeifer, formed a cooperative society for the two-fold purpose of supplying the members with a plan of systematic saving and of making it possible for them to take care of their own credit problems at a legitimate rate of interest. This is the first parish in the state to combine into a credit union, which is becoming popular among

Young Mother Will Be Queen of Tiny Isles , With Reptiles as Her Subjects

BY PAUL W. WHITE United Press Staff Correspondent YORK, May 9.—Lenore Andrews, 26, married, and the mother of two children, soon will undertake the establishment of a business that most women—and most men, too, for that matter—would abhor. Mrs. Andrews is going to raise reptiles. Mrs. Andrews sat today in her apartment not far from peaceful Central park and told the United Press of her plans to purchase three or four islands near southern Burma and use their jungle areas for the breeding of such fauna as pythons, lizards and king cobra. Furthermore, it does not strike Mrs. Andrews as odd that a woman should choose such an occupation. In the first place, she. says, there is much money to be made in reptiles, and in the second place she is deeply interested in herpetology', which you may or may not know, is the branch of zoology dealing with snakes. a a a DANGER? Mrs. Andrews insists there is no more danger in the jungle than in Fifth avenue. if as much. “When you see a street thronged with motor cars.” she said in explanation. “you do not stop to think that any of them could DANCE WILL BE GIVEN Phi Sigma Chi Fraternity Ball to Be on Roof of Severin.

Perhaps her chief point of difference from most girls is that she rather would fly than be a musical comedy star. In fact, she turned down a stage career after touring for a lew months with Fred Stone. “The theater is a grind,” she says. “The work is too hard.

A credit union operates through a board of directors, a credit committee and a supervisory committee chosen by the members, and is governed by state banking laws. All deposits are put in the regular checking department of some bank and loaned out to members. It is not a substitute nor a competitor of the bank, but merely a facility for bringing normal credit benefits to the masses of people, its advocates declare. Latest official reports indicate that the credit unions of postal employes along already have 25,397 members and savings of $1,770,952 and have made loans aggregating $6,329,736. Other churches in Indiana are considering following the example of St. Roch’s church.

That is the black spitting cobra, which flings its poison yards away and with Annie Oakley accuracy can hit an eye at a distance of fifteen feet. The enemy thus becomes blinded and is easy prey for the reptilian sharpshooters.

RUSH TROOPS TO SCENE OF HINDURIOTING Report 50 Slain in Fierce Outbreak; Six Police Are Killed. FEAR FOR EUROPEANS British Regiment Rushed to Aid in Curbing Violent Indian Uprising. BY FRANCIS LOW United Press Staff Correspondent BOMBAY. May 9.—The most stringent precautions for the protection of Europeans in India were taken by ;he government today as rumors of impending attacks by independence seekers were receive*} in Bombay. The center of the disturbed area appeared to be in the vicinity of Poona, where Mahatma Gandhi was imprisoned after his arrest near Surat last Monday. Ail European inhabitants of Talegaon, thirty miles from Poona, were warned to evacuate the city before noon today, reports received here said. The warning was issued by authorities after they learned an Indian mob planned a raid of a glass factory. Fifty Are Reported Killed Two trainloads of European women and children arrived at Poona today from Sholapur, where the most serious rioting since Mahatma Gandhi began his passive resistance drive for Indian independence, broke out Thursday. They reported fifty persons were killed in the Sholapur riots, at least six of whom were police who were beaten to death and burned in the public square by the angry, roving bands of Indians. Between 300 and 400 were injured. Police prepared to evacuate all missionaries at Talegon. Troops Rushed to Scene The government, redoubling its efforts to keep peace in India, ordered the duke of Wellington’s regiment to rush to Sholapur from Ahmednagar, a distance of 125 miles. The regiment was to assist Sholapur police in coping with a situation that rapidly was getting out of hand. Thousands of angry Indians composed the mob that raged through Sholapur, burning and murdering. They set fire to the district courthouse and burned several liquor shops.

MRS. ANDREWS has been here for eight monjhs obtaining backing for her venture and arranging commercial outlets. Her British husband, Dennis Andrews, will leave soon for Calcutta to engage natives for the expedition.

The commercial possibilities of the enterprise, Mrs. Andrews told her interviewers, are enormous.

ST. LOUIS has suffered from tornadoes more than any other American city, not because the storms prefer St. Louis to other places, but because that city happens to be the biggest target in their territory and they naturally hit it often. In May. 1896, one of these “twisters” killed 255 people in the Missouri city and again in September, 1927, eightyfive people were killed, 1.300 injured and $15,000,000 worth of damage was done. , In spite of the great havoc wrought, the tornado’s career is brief. The entire storm seldom lasts longer than an hour and not

To begin with, there is a vast market among shoe manufacturers for reptile skins because of their long-wearing qualities. Second, museums seek reptiles for scientific study.

Majority of Hollywood’s Actresses Keep Their Children Well Hidden From Public Gaze. BY DAN THOMAS NEA Fashion Writer HOLLYWOOD, Cal., May 9. Every day is Mothers’ day for some of Hollywood’s best known movie actresses. More than one charming screen beauty is the adoring young mother of an attractive child. Surprisingly enough, in view of the tremendously powerful spotlight of fame in which these actresses bask, little is known of their children. Most of them prefer to keep the children in the background, believing that they will grow into better citizens if they are brought up as normal kiddies instead of sons and daughters of the famous. Gloria Sw'anson is one of our most brilliant actresses who is a proud mother. Her husband is the Marquise de la Coudraye, a Frenchman. Gloria always knows that on Mother’s day she will receive two bouquets of flowers from her little daughter, Gloria, and her adopted son, Joseph. For the first time Dolores Costello, Mrs. John Barrymore, knows the joys of a mother on Mother’s day, although her month-old baby daughter, Dolores Ethel, is much too young to appreciate its significance. None but her closest friends know Nancy Carroll’s 4-year-old daughter, Patricia, by sight as Nancy refuses to let the child appear in the public eye either personally or in print. Her husband is Jack Kirkland, a playwright. Lila Lee seldom sees her son, James Kirkwood Jr., aged 5, since she and her husband are separated and Kirkwood has the boy. But Mother’s day is always the biggest day in the year for her because it is one day she has little Jim with her. To Lina Basquette, however. Mother’s day is just another touch of irony. Her 3-year-old daughter by her first husband, the late Sam Warner, is in the custody of her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Harry M. Warner, who are living in New York. Lita Grey Chaplin has gone into retirement with her two sons, Charlie Jr. and Sidney. Mildred Davis (Mrs. Harold Lloyd) spends her entire time managing the pretentious Lloyd mansion and caring for 6-year-old Gloria. Mrs. Fred Niblo, who was Enid Bennett on the screen, has her hands full with her three children, Doris, Peter and Judith, a.ged 8, 4. and 18 months respectively. Mary Akin, divorced wife of Edwin Carewe, is another member of the film mothers’ clan, having a baby daughter, Sally Anne. Leatrice Joy’s daughter, Leatrice Jr., is 5 years old. Claire Windsor has a son, Billy, age 12. Irene Rich has two daughter, Frances, 17, and Jane, 15. Florence Vidor has a daughter, Suzanne, 9.

‘WHIM’ KILLER DIES IN CHAIR Pays With Life, Absolving Brother in Confession. Bu T'liited Press CHICAGO, May 9.—Absolving his brother by a last hour confession,- 1 August Vogel, 27, paid with his life in the electric chair early todav for the “whim” killing of Lyle Perrenoud, salesman, during a gincrazed robbery. “At last I can die like a man,” Vogel said when he was told of a confession by his brother, George, serving a term in Joliet penitentiary on a robbery charge. George's confession was revealed as a last desperate attempt to save August from execution. “It was not a ‘whim killing,’ ” Vogel said. “I had planned a robbery and Perrenoud was the first wealthy looking prospect. But I wasn’t accustomed to an automatic revolver, and it discharged accidentally.” The collegiate appearing youth revoked an earlier statement in which he said he killed the salesman in a fit of anger after his automobile was scraped by the fender of Perrenoud’s car. He had blamed the killing on liquor and disgust over his small salary. “I was just a gin-soaked kid telling the world to go to hell,” he said. “I wouldn’t have robbed if I could make a living otherwise.” JUICE TO BE SEIZED Intent to Make Wine Must Be Shown. Bu t niter] Press WASHINGTON, May 9.—Unfermented grape juice may be seized by government dry agents, if it can be shown there is intent on the part of the seller or buyer to use it in making an intoxicating beve-age.

ROBINSON PUT FORWARD FOR 6.0. P. LEADER County Treasurer Boomed for Chairman Berth by Party Workers. DEMOCRATS IN CAUCUS Attorney Nathan Swaim to Be Recommended for Leadership. BY BEN STERN While the word was being passed down the line to the “boys in the trenches,” that Clyde E. Robinson was to be elected county chairman at the G. O. P. convention Saturday afternoon, successful candidates caucused in the courthouse at noon, and Martin M. Hugg, incumbent county chairman, met with ward chairmen in headquarters in the State Savings and Trust building. Democratic nominees in caucus this morning decided unanimously to recommend for their county chairman Nathan Swaim, attorney and one of the candidates drafted for city commissioner by the city manager group. The proposed Republican county and district committee, as drafted this morning at a conference of party heads in the office of Schuyler Haas, m the Lemcke building, includes Hugg. district attorney, succeeding William L. Taylor; Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson, district vicechairman, succeeding Mrs. Arthur R. Robinson; Clyde E. Robinson, county chairman; Mrs. Bloomfield H. Moore, vice-chairman, and Wayne Emmelmar., re-elected, as secretary. No candidate for treasurer has been selected. Democrats Draft Slate Democrats are considering the following lineup: Swaim for county chairman; a woman, as yet not selected, as county vice-chairman; Howard Bates, secretary, and Thomas Sheerin, treasurer. No recommendations were made for the Democratic district chairman and vice-chairman, it being decided to leave that to the convention itself. At present there is no district chairman. Robert Springsteen also was considered for county chairman, but he has refused to become a candidate because of failing health. There is possibility that Leroy , 3, Keac i, present county chairman, who has refused to be a candidate for re-election, may accept the district chairmanship. However, Reach always held to the theory that the Marion county chairman also should be district chairman. Robinson in Doubt Robinson, who is countty treasurer, and also treasurer of the Republican county committee, today said he had not been approached and was undecided as to whether he would accept the post of chairman. The caucus of Republican nominees was called by Frank Cones, a successful candidate for county treasurer, and the names of Harry Dunn, county auditor, and Harry Yockey, attorney and chairman of the speakers’ bureau in the municipal campaign, were advanced. Hugg is expecting to be renamed as county chairman, and the conference of the ward chairmen was called, it was understood, to see how far they would support him. Many representatives of the insurgent group, the Citizens Republican league, which claims eighty of 331 committeemen, declare they will be for Hugg against any Coffin candidate advanced, inasmuch as they can not elect their own choice. Two Have Great Power The two ward chairman who will have the greatest power in the convention will be Sheriff George Winkler, who has forty-five employes, the majority of whom are precinct committeemen; and Alfred Meloy, United States marshal, who is Wayne towmship chairman and has thirty-five committeemen. William L. Taylor, Republican district chairman, today declined reelection for the coming campaign. MRS. PALMER’S SUIT SETTLED OUT OF COURT $50,000 Case Against Former Husband Comes to End.
