ROSARY FOUND IN DEATH CAR IS NEW CLEW Cops Scan Articles Taken From Under Seat of Flaming Auto. MURDER IS ESTABLISHED Post-Mortem Shows Small Wound: Dig Into Life of Harold Schroeder. While the law reached 800 miles Into the southland this afternoon in search of information which may solve the High School road “torch murder’’ mystery, city detectives here scanned new clews from the ashes of the automobile which was the murder victim's funeral pyre. Beneath the front seat on which a man’s charred body was found in the blazing automobile on High School road near Rockville road last Saturday morning. Detectives John Stump and Robbin Taylor today found these blackened clews: A resary, the blackened metal crucifix being about an inch long. The beads, evidently of clay or bone composition, still bere the faint colors of pale pink and pearl. The chain was short, not in the form of a necklace, but such as women commonly carry in their purse. A pocket-knife, about three inches long, the sides burned away, but the two blades still intact between their metal bindings. A Pittsburgh Railway Company street car token. Bent by Heat A long metal shoe spoon, bent by the intense heat. A burnt coin, about the size of a 5-cent piece. Small pieces of bone, evidently from the murder victim, and splinters of glass. Detectives disclosed that a rosary corresponding almost exactly with the one they found today in the ruins of the car in the Market street garage, was found Saturday under the car before it was moved from the scene of the murder. They were busy this afternoon piecing together bits of paper that Ernest W. Schroeder. Evanston, 111., brother of the missing man, say were were a letter written by his brother. The pieces of the letter were found beneath a piece of auto tire near where the blazing car was discovered. He says handwriting on the pieces of paper is that of the missing brother. Reaching Mobile. Ala., this afternoon after an all-night drive by automobile from Indianapolis, Sheriff George Winkler, Coroner Charles F. Keever and Indianapolis newspapermen were to investigate a quarrel in w'hich Harold Herbert Schroeder, 35, business man of that city, engaged there with two men and a woman. May 20, shortly before his departure for this city. It was believed the quarrel may have a bearing on Schroeder’s disappearance here and the finding of the murder victim's charred body in Schroeder s blazing auomobile.
Discredit Schroeder Theory Authorities here discredit the theory the body is that of Schroeder. Meanwhile Dr. Lawrence Lewis, deputy coroner, announced following a post mortem of the burned body here today that the man whose body was found in the car died of violence, the victim of a knife or bullet wound in his right lung. Dispatches from Mobile today indicated Schroeder engaged in a heated argument with tw r o men and a woman the day before he left Mobile to drive to Indianapolis, where he attended the Speedway races last Friday. The post-mortem proved. Dr. Lewis declared, that the victim was alive a few hours before being found in the blazing car. Murder, Is Verdict He declared his report would show murder. The victim was a man of about 140 to !45 pounds. Deputy Coroner Lewis said, and had red or sandy hair. The man was not old, Lewis said. He could not determine whether the man was white or a Negro. He said the body never had been embalmed and dismissed a theory that the body found in the car had been obtained from a morgue or cemetery. “The man was alive a tew hours before his body was found in the car.” Dr. Lewis said. He found a large blood clot on the right lung and evidence of a wound there. The body had been soaked in some liquid, probably gasoline or naphtha, before being set afire, Dr. Lewis declared. Both arms and the left leg had been burned away, he declared. He said ths right leg may have been dismembered below the knee before the body was burned. Reported Seen Alive Schroeder was alive after the fire, the officials declare, having been given a ride into the city by Jack Allen of Clayton and Miss Ruby Blue of 715 North Delaware street, who discovered the blazing automobile while driving early Saturday morning. The nan alighted at Create avenue and Washington street and hurried north, the two say. His description tallies with that of Schroeder as given by five persons who were in a c%r parked next to his machine at the Speedway races Friday. A gasoline can seen by them in his car corresponds with that found of a mile from the ly^edfWnobiie.

Latest tabulation with 1.809 of lowa’s precincts gave: For United States senator, Dickinson, 149.563; Hammill, 84,759; Lund, 30,105; Payne, 8,924. Dickinson based his primary campaign for the seat, now occupied by Democratic Senator Daniel F. Steck, on support of the tariff measure for which he voted in Congress. • His principal opponent.

In the contest for the Republican gubernatorial nomination there likewise was a wide margin between Dan W. Turner, the leader, and Ed M. Smith, his closest rival. In the minor races Gilbert N. Haugen, whose three decades of service in the house have rendered him one of the oldest legislators in tne nation, provided the most interesting contest. Haugen was leading C. A.

Senate Warned 111 Will Abroad Sure Result if Tariff Bill Passes
Foes of Measure Refuse to Be Stampeded to Support of Bill. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Colrespondent WASHINGTON. June 3.—ln face of a growing demand for speedy action on the tariff bill. Democratic and progressive leaders of the senate declared today they would not be stampeded into support of the new rates or administrative provisions of the Hawley-Smoot measure. In fact, opponents of the bill in its present form charged that, the Republican leadership had stimulated protests against inaction in an effort to force vhe senate.to abandon its proposed debate over changes in the flexible provision n.ade by the G. O. P. bosses. Senator Harrison of Mississippi, Democratic conferee, answered statements that uncertainty over the measure’s rate is hurting business recovery, with the reminder that congress already has spent sixteen months on the subject. Enemies of the bill count on delay to gain them support in the final drive. It is their belief that the growing volume of protests from the country eventually will swing several senators to their side, and they say they have basis for this feeling in reported changes of heart on the part of Copeland of New York and Dill of Washington. These two Democrats had been counted for the bill by Majority Leader Watson, but they are understood to be wavering. They will not vote for the measure, it is understood. if power to change rates is vested in the President in the bill s final iorm.

HOOVER’S VETO BAnEREDDOWN President Insists Legislation Is 111-Advised. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, June 3.—President Hoover, commenting today on the action of congress in overriding his veto of the Spanish-American w r ar pension bill, said he had not changed his view that the legislation was “ill-advised.” Mr. Hoover -declared at his noon press conference that he felt Spanish war veteran pensions should be libefaiized and thought the matter should be forked otlt in such a way that rich men should not draw pensions from the government. Hooter’s failure to obtain more than thirty-two votes in congress to sustain his veto marked .the first major cleavage to develop between the White House ’and congress as a whole. The house always has stood by the President, refusing to let the senate have its way. However, late Monday only fourteen representa-. tives stood by Hoover while 298 were against him. Congressional historians were unable to recollect a time when a President fell so far short of support from his own party in congress, even in the unusual reconstruction days after the Civil war. A similar situation w'as shown in the senate vote, which was 61 to 18 to override the President. Thus, out of 359 votes cast in both houses Hoover received 32.

Diplomats Say Enmity, as Well as Retaliatory Duties, Looms. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, June 3.—Protesting against the pending tariff and its sky-high schedules, foreign diplomats here have warned the state department that retaliatory duties are not the only evils that can befall the United States as a result of the bill’s passage. The memorandum of Minister Ferdinand Ververka of Czecho-Slo-vakla furnishes an inkling of what may be expected. He declares that not the least Important will be the psychological effect the tariff will have on the respect and high esteem of the people of his country for all things American. That a tremendous amount of ill will will be engendered by the passage of the measure, the senate now no longer doubts. Reams of protests from some thirty-three different nations already havj been laid before it and more still are coming in. What international ill will can do to foreign trade recently has been illustrated by the case of China and Japan. Objecting to Japan’s China policy, the Chinese simply refused to buy Japanese goods and Japanese trade with the celestial republic went glimmering. It was as simple as that. A similar movement is beginning to get under way throughout the rest of the world against goods made in the United States. The effect which passage of the billiondollar tariff would have in Czechoslovakia, mentioned by Minister Ververka, will be duplicated in thirty or forty other countries in a way very damaging to our foreign trade. ftp
ARMED GANG OF MADMEN FLEEPRISON Alarmed Countryside Locks Its Doors With Eleven Maniacs at Large. SEVERAL ARE KILLERS Only Two of Original Group Are Nabbed; Others in Hiding. Bn United Pres* lONIA, Mich., June 3.—With eleven madmen, some of them known killers—all of them desperate—at large after their escape today from the state hospital for the criminal insane here, an alarmed countryside this afternoon locked the doors of its homes, armed itself when possible and eyed all strangers with suspicion. Armed with crude weapons fashioned from table ware and whetted to a razor-like sharpness, the eleven inmates were believed hiding near lonia. State troopers, deputy sheriffs, prison, and hospital guards and private citizens searched the countryside, but as the hours went by and only two of the original thirteen who escaped were recaptured, it was feared some would make good their flight for liberty. Trains Are Checked Searchers say the men probably have split into small groups and are trying to remain hidden until night. Then, it is thought, they will seek to make their way out of the immediate vicinity. All roads are guarded, however, and outgoing trains are being checked carefully. Should the man be forped to remain in close hiding in this section for long it ! is thought hungeV eventually will diive them into the open. It is then they will be most dangerous, officials believe, Teady to stake everything on a chance m break through the cordon of searchers. Tile break from the state hospital would have been much worse had other inmat'es chosen to follow the example of the thirteen leaders. Pass Up Liberty Chance After overpowering two guards and capturing Eugene Owen, night superintendent, the thirteen secured cell keys from the guards and opened cells in which 131 other criminals were held. The others, however, passed up their chance for liberty. They later explained they feared to be in company with such desperate characters as the ring leaders. Threats to kill Owen unless the outer gates were opened enabled the thirteen • to • pass • the .last outpost when the guard complied with their demands. Owen was released unhurt and the men walked out into the darkness.

Shoemaker, former pastor of the Edwards Street Pentecostal church, charged with abducting a girl member of his choir, brought many women but fewer babies into the courtroom today. Judge Levi Yager, exasperated by the crying of several infants Monday, told the mothers, “Dear women, if you must come to this courtroom, please leave your babies at home.” Miss Bernice Ford testified Shoemaker induced her to make a trip to Missouri with him, two years ago.

CANNON DEFIES SENATE6ROUP Flatly Refuses to Answer Probers’ Queries. Bn United Pres* WASHINGTON, June 3.—Claiming he was persecuted, Bishop James Cannon Jr. of the,Methodist Episcopal church south, today flatly declined to tell the senate lobby committee of his anti-Smith activities in the 1928 presidential campaign. Even after being warned by the committee that he must “take the consequences of his act,” Cannon asserted he must decline to answer, thereby opening the issue of possible contempt proceedings similar to those which resulted in Harry F. Sinclair, the oil magnate, going to jail. For more than an hour Senator Thomas J. Walsh (Dem., Mont.), acting chairman, laid the groundwork for possible contempt proceedings. He developed that Cannon had used $303 of the funds of the Methodist board of Presbyteries and social service, of which he was chairman, tor the purpose of calling the Asheville (N. C.) conference in 1928 to plan the campaign, in the south against the Democratic presidential nominee, Alfred E. Smith, of New York.

REFUSED TO‘PLAY BALL’ ON CEMENT, DENIED STATE HIGHWAY POST, IS CHARGE Fifth District Democratic Chairman Says ‘No’ to Telephone Query Drops Him From Commission Contender List. SUPPORTED BY BOTH PARTIES Albert Clark Up Until Time of Discard Was Thought of by Political Leaders as Successor to Boren. BY BEN STERN Charges that he was dropped out of the picture as a contender for membership on the state highway commission because he “would not play ball with the cement interests,” were made today by Albert Clark, Cayuga, Fifth district Democratic chairman. Clark asserts that when he answered “no” to the question: “WILL YOU PLAY BALL?” put to him by Chicago executive of the cement interests over the telephone, he went into the discard, although up to that time it generally was believed by political leaders he would be named to succeed Robert D. Boren of Fountain City. The fact that his candidacy was supported by chairmen of both parties; ai\d by State Senator Alonzo Lindley, Re-
publican, Kingman; Walter Chambers, Democrat, Newcastle publisher, and Mark Nebeker, Clinton, Fifth district Republican chairman, gave indications that if Boren had a successor it would be Clark. From Feb. 13, when Clark’s name appeared as a possible successor to
Boren, until April 17, when the latter was reappointed, the cement interests tried to obtain a pledge from Clark that nc would be kind to their particular brand of paving material, he declares. And while these cement represgnt- ■ atives made personal visits and called Clark over the telephone, Leslie considered both

out of the picture because his answer to the question, “Will you play ball?” was “No.” On Feb. 13 Clark was visited, he said, by Forrest Kaufman, former Vermillion county Democratic chairman, now r the head of the cement operations in ten states, with headquarters at Kansas City. In the conversation which occurred at that visit, Clark says i Kaufman asked him if he wanted the post. , “Well, now that my name has come up for consicieraiton, I would like to have the place on the commission,” Clark said he answered. Kaufman left after protestations of friendship, according to Clark. Several weeks later, Kaufman called from Kansas City to say that Clark’s name had been presented to ! the Chicago executive office, Clark related. Wtihiji a few days Clark was called by a Chicago representative of the cement people, he said. The conversation’had a witness. “Are you interested in any cement company?” was the first question, according to Clark. “No,” was the answer. “WILL YOU PLAY BALL?” as the next question, Clark said, Knew What He Meant "I knew, of course, what he meant,” said Clark, “and I answered ‘No.’ ” “The conversation closed right there. “This conversation occurred on Tuesday. Boren was named on Thursday. “I had been informed by Senator Lindley, who had interested himself deeply in my behalf, that Governor Leslie had informed him the appointment would not be made until after the primary, May 6,” Clark said. “I had hoped to be of service to Indiana and especially to my part of the state, which the people feel has been neglected in the matter of roads. “But I did not want the job by end with the consent of the cement interests and under a pledge which they demanded that ‘I play ball’.” Little Support to Boren Very little support was given the renomination of Boren by leaders of either party, but there was a general movement toward Clark, who long has held the respect of the rank arid file of both parties. Clark also relates a conversation between Chambers and Governor Leslie. “Toward the close of this conversation, according to what Chambers told me,” Clark said, “the Governor asked Chambers whom he favored for the highway berth.” Chambers asked who was being considered. “Boren and Clark,” was the reply, “Are you sure that Clark will take it?” Chambers said he asked. Thought He Would “I think he will,’’ the Governor is said to have answered. “Well, then, call him right away, for he is too good a man to let go,' was Chamber’s rejoinder. Governor Leslie today said the cement interests neither opposed nor recommended Boren. “I received no communication from them and they did not come out into the light on this appointment," Leslie said. He also declared neither disapproval nor commendation was voiced by the cement interests regarding Clark. COP POOR AT SPARRING Ends Up in Hospital After Attempt to Arrest Ex-Pugilist.
