THREE BANDITS BIND SIX AND ROBGROCERY Employes and Customers of A. & P. Store Herded Into Back Room. TIE SACKS OVER FACES Escape in Stolen Car and Stage Second Holdup Making Getaway. Binding employes and customers alike, covering their faces with potato sacks and aprons, three bandits who have preyed upon groceries here for more than three weeks, staged a daring holdup at an A. & P. store at 823 North East street this morning. Five men and a boy were bound by the bandits who robbed the cash register of $32, and who got $3 from one customer, and sl3 from another. Stealing a car in this holdup, the three staged a second holdup a few minutes later, police say. The bandits stopped in their flight through the eastern part of the city and robbed Lawrence Jones, manager of the Standard Grocery Company store at 2308 East Tenth street, of $27 and stole sls from the cash register. One of the thugs remained in the car, Jones told police, while the others robbed him. The car last was seen speeding east toward the city limits on East Michigan street. Herded Into Rear Room At the North East street A. & P. store, the bandits entered the store while Frank Nullen, 35, Lebanon, manager, ahd Orville Garrity, 16, of 1959 North Pope street, clerk, were serving two customers, Roy Long, 856 North East street, and John Griffin, 921 Park avenue. “Stick ’em up; we mean business,’’ was the command of one of the bandit trio as all three flashed automatics. The four w'ere herded into a rear room. One of the bandits locked the front door of the store, while his two companions, after searching four men, tied them with cord. Ernest Karsch, 44, of 37 North Temple avenue, a salesman, reached the grocery and found the front door locked. He knocked. “Let him in,” one of the men in the rear room ordered, and the guard at the door opened it. “What’s going on here?” Karsch asked. ‘We’re Taking Inventory “We’re taking inventory,” the j bandit replied. “Where’s Mullen?” Karsch asked. “In the back room. Get in there too,” was the reply and Karsch was menaced with a gun. William Conder of 823 Park avenue, drove up at the same time and also was admitted and was taken to the rear room, robbed and bound. The bandits took $32 from the cash register, $3 from Conder and sl3 from Karsch. Griffin carried S4O, but saved it by thrushing it inside the waist band of his trousers. Leaving, the bandits stole a car owned by Mrs. Elsie Karwick, 833 Park avenue, which Conder had parked in the alley. Snips Free From Bonds “Don’t look at me,” was the order cf one of the bandits to Karsch while the latter was being bound in the rear room. It was then that the bandits covered faces of their prisoners with potato sacks and aprons. After the bandit trio left, Garrity rolled to where a pair of tin snips were on the floor, and, with them behind his back, succeeded in cutting the bonds from Karsch, who released the others. During progress of the holdup Theodore Dronston, Negro, 439 East Pratt street, tried the ront door. “We’re invoicing buddy,” the bandit guard called to him. “Come back in half an hour and we’ll wait on you.” Holding up C. Doreghen, manager, and Edward Cutz, clerk, in a Standard grocery at 2644 North Harding street, early today, two white bandits escaped with S2O, police were told. The bandits forced the employes to reveal hiding place of a money bag In a rear room when the store opened its doors, the two being the first “customers.”

CRIAIfc AGAINST TfMKRANCt SUAMEfA.REED U.S. SENATOR / FROM MISSOURI

ARTICLE ONE The Anti-Saloon League—Born of God IN view of the importance of the Anti-Saloon League in the great ■ reformatory work of prohibition, it is desirable to inquire into its origin. Whence comes this deus ex machina, this agency for the eleventh-hour saving of mankind? The Rev. Francis Scott Mcßride, its general superintendent, already has provided a birth certificate. Hear him: “The league was bom of God. It has been led by Him and will fight on while He leads. The one thing that stands out is that those things in the way of progress of the kingdom of God must get out of the way.” Bom of God! Apostolic delegate of the Almighty! A divine institution! Omnipartisan! Omnipotent! Obmipresent! Such the Anti-Saloon League, in tablets of stone and bronze, proclaims itself to be. With a diadem of divinity upon its brow, it substitutes the policeman’s club, the prison and the scourge, for the teachings of Christ. By the felon’s stripe, by the dungeon, men are to be redeemed from their sins. Away with the old theology of salvation by repentance and faith! Up with the new theocracy of redemption by force! The divine right of kings has passed to the Anti-Saloon League of America. It sits enthroned upon the pedestal of intolerance in Washington. It boasts of its usurpation of the power of representative government. It seizes the scales of justice and makes itself inquisitor, prosecutor, judge and jury to deprive citizens of their liberty, to confiscate their citizenship, and their property, to consign them to durance vile for the sale of a pint. It fills the land with swarms of spies and snoopers to plague the people, pry into their homes, to entrap them, to jam them in- jail. > nan THE widow, earning a mite to feed her starving children, by the sale of a little liquor, is sentenced to penitentiary for life. The wife calling for help to protect a husband knocked insensible by a blow on the head with the butt of an enforcement officer’s pistol, is shot dead in her own home. Thus moves forward the divine plan of the Anti-Saloon League, under divine guidance, in the execution of its apostolic task of destroying the beverage liquor traffic. "The consummation of such a mission,” it exclaims, “is one of the greatest moral achievements of a self-governing people.” There is no doubt of the AntiSaloon League’s divine origin, nor that it was born of God. By solemn resolution it has established its divinity. It has inserted its divine conception and birth in the Congressional Record- where wicked, wet-drinking, dry-voting congressmen may read as they run for reelection on an Anti-Saloon League platform. There are other proofs. At the great "Crisis convention” of the Anti-Saloon League in Chicago, on Nov. 5, 1925, the league placed the crown of divinity upon the head of its founder and resolved itself to be a divine institution. Let us read from the resolution, written by the great Wheeler: Every leader of a religious or moral movement has been prepared by Almighty God for that one task. The leader in the divine plan to unite the churches of America in the Anti-Saioon League for the destruction of the beverage liquor traffic was Howard Hyde Russell. To him, under God, is traceable the conception and execution of that plan. Every step in his career has been evidenced by divine guidance in preparation for this apostolic task. an n SO you see the Anti-Saloon League scheme to “pry” open the churches by the use of money, to use their pulpits as rostrums for its propaganda, and agencies for the collection of money, was a "divine plan.” The resolution says so. But read ->n: Obedient to his divine vision, he led the representatives of the churches of America to the organization of an interdenomina- ! tional omnipartisan Anti-Saloon League at Oberlin, 0., May 24, 1593. . . . Supported and directed by the churches, this league has educated public sentiment against the beverage liquor traffic, crystallized the public conscience in law, and now promises fulfillment of the last and most difficult task—law enforcement and law obedience. The consummation of such mission is one of the greatest moral achievements of a self-govern-ing people. So it is a divine institution. Its task is apostolic. It has flourished under divine guidance and inspiration. Every step has been in tune with divinity. It is proved by the documents in the case. It is true that a senate committee had to use the power of a subpena to find the evidence, but we found it. The revelation of the divinity of the league is in its own language. So, with nis steps guided by the (Turn to Page 3)

SENATE MAY SPURN HOOVER PENSION STAND Veterans’ Measure Up for Vole Finds Republican Groups Split. WARNING TO BE IGNORED Substitute Proposals More to President’s Liking Frowned Upon. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, June 23.—Senate Republicans in conference today were unable to agree on the question of supporting President Hoover in his opposition to the pending World war veterans’ pension bill, which was expressed in a vigorous statement. The measure was to be voted upon in the senate this afternoon under a unanimous consent agreement. Twenty-five rpresentatives of various Republican groups, including both the old regular leaders and the so-called young guard, were split three ways at today’s meeting. Republican Floor Leader Watson indicated the bill would pass in its present form despite the President’s warning that it might mean an increase in taxes in the fall. Watson Is Doubtful Watson also was doubtful about his ability to prevent the measure from being passed later by a twothirds majority over the veto which Mr. Hoover has indicated he would administer. Two substitute proposals more to the President’s liking were offered in the conference by Senators Reed (Rep., Pa.) and Bingham (Rep., Conn.). Both would lower the estimated $181,000,000 annual cost of the pending senate bill to around $35,000,000. They also would eliminate the feature the President found objectionable, the provision allowing veterans to get pensions for any ailment developed prior to January, 1930. Neither found general favor. Senators Rise in Protest Scenes of confusion attended the reading of the President’s message at the opening of the senate today. Despite Vice-President Curtis’ poundings of the gavel, Senator Shortridge (Rep., Cal.) interposed to shout that “the President has been misled in saying the American Legion does not approve this bill.” Democratic floor leader Robinson likewise protested against what he called Mr. Hoover’s “belated objections.” Hospital Problem Up IS i/ Times Special WASHINGTON. D. C„ June 23. The federal hospitalization board today began preparation of its formal recommendation to President Hoover relative to the location of the new $500,000 veterans hospital assigned to Indiana in the general hospitalization bill approved last December. Although Indianapolis is understood in informed quarters to have been approved by the board, the actual award will not be announced until the recommendation is approved by the White House, probably this week. A bitter struggle, in which politics played a large part, delayed selection of the sorely needed hospital for six months, while Indiana Republicans in congress sought to locate the project at some less favorable spot. Approve Sea Pact Bu United Press WASHINGTON, June 23.—The London naval treaty moved a step neared ratification today when the senate foreign relations committee voted a favorable report on the document. The vote was 16 to 4 for the treaty. Today’s vote ended a six weeks’ fight by a handful of committee opponents who sought to forestall favorable action. The treaty was reporW! formally to the senate shortly after the meeting to await the extra session at which it will be considered. Senators Johnson (Cal.), Moses (N. H.), and Robinson (Ind.), all Republicans, and Shipstead, (Farm-er-Labor, Minn.), voted against the favorable report.

The thermometer started its upward climb at 7 a. m. today with 74 and jumped twenty degrees in six hours. With the increase in the temperature, Miss Josephine Ahearn, Apartment 10, Stout block, was overcome with the heat at Meridian and New York streets. She was taken to city hospital. Weather bureau officials were positive in their prediction Tuesday will dawn cloudy and insuring showers will crack the heat. The new high thermometer reading shattered the previous top temperature for Indianapolis which was established April 11, when the mercury stood at 89. Sunday the highest temperature was 88.9. Although the heat wave probably will not break the standing record for Indianapolis in 1901 when it was 106, the temperature now is twenty-one degrees above normal and has passed the 93-degree mark that established last year’s record, July 28.

Entered as Seecnd-Cla*a Matter at Postoffice. Indianapolis. Ind.

Mrs. Anne Morrow Lindbergh gave birth to the child at 3:15 p. m. Sunday, her 24th birthday, in the Morrow home here, a white house on a hill, where she herself was bom. One wing of the mansion had been converted into a hospital where the nurse and two specialists who attended Mrs. Lindbergh found every facility available. Today Mrs. Lindbergh and the child were reported to be doing nicely. Seldom has the birth of a child been surrounded by such secrecy. Reporters who waited at the gate of the Morrow home were unaware of the arrival of the boy until more than two hours after the event. Inside the home, however, the news was being broadcast. A “friend of the family” called the United Press and gave the hews, refusing, however, to supply anything except the fact that the child was a boy, that it had been born at 3:15 p. m., and that it weighed something more than seven pounds. Morrow Reported Jubilant Dwight W. Morrow, Mrs. Lindbergh’s father, who went through his successful campaign for the Republican nomination for senator from New Jersey without once losing his calm, judicious nearing, was reported to be jubilant and excited over the birth of his first grandchild. Lindbergh, however, apparently retained his customary calmness, and found time in the midst of the excitement to send a telegram to the New York office of the United Press, congratulating Colonel Roberto Fierro, Mexican aviator, on his nonstop flight from New York to Mexico City. Morrow declined to comment on the birth of the child other than to say that “I am the happiest grandfather in the world.” He declared he would make a statement today, at which time it was expected the official weight of the child at birth and its name would be revealed. Refuses to Comment All through the night and into the morning messenger boys were bearing telegrams of congratulation to the Morrow home. The messages began arriving soon after news of the baby’s birth became known. Lindbergh refused to comment. While it has been generally known for some time that Mrs. Lindbergh was an expectant mother, the date of the birth could not be predicted because of the secrecy with which the event has been surrounded. It was understood that the Lindberghs at first engaged a room in a New York hospital and then canceled it when they decided to go to the Morrow home. There elaborate preparations were made. One wing of the house was fitted out to resemble a hospital. Morrow was reported to have forbidden servants to use the telephone without permission and to have engaged a special operator to stay at the telephone exchange and handle calls to his home.

ALABAMA GOVERNOR SIGNS PAPERS IN EXTRADITION OF TORCH CAR OWNER TO CITY Sheriff Winkler Returns to Mobile With Custody Order After Visit to Capital; Captor Receives Threat. CHECK ON CAPONE RUM RING LINK Authorities Here Question Underworld Characters in Pursuit of Clew to Fire Victim’s Identity.

Alleged connection of H. .’old Herbert Schroeder, 35, Mobile (Ala.) radiator repair business owner, with a Ca-pone-allied liquor running ring was being investigated in Mobile today. Evidence, given here by underworld characters, that Schroeder was connected with the liquor runners and that he was the “big boy” in Mobile, gained weight. Authorities were tracing down the underworld “grapevine” report that the torch car victim was Victor Raymond, 35, formerly of Philadelphia. Harry Bendel, chief deputy sheriff here, questioned three underworld characters Sunday afternoon and gained from them facts bearing out the information previously gathered by The Times. Sent by Air Mail Bendel sent facts he had gathered to his chief, Sheriff George Winkler, at Mobile in an air mail letter. Sheriff Winkler today began an investigation at Mobile to learn, if possible, any Schroeder connections with the liquor ring which has been bringing liquor into the country through Miami, Fla., Schroeder’s former home, and through Mobile. Beginning consideration of the torch car mystery, with a view to possible indictment of Schroeder on murder charges, the Marion county grand jury this morning heard evidence of Dr. Lawrence Lewis, deputy coroner, who performed the autopsy on the charred body of a man found in Schroeder’s blazing car. Tom A. Reilly, private investigator for an insurance company, and George Eggleston, deputy prosecutor, who has been in Mobile on the case, also appeared before the Jury. Deputy Prosecutor Eggleston declared before he entered the grand jury room that no new facts have been developed in the case at Mobile and that Schroeder has not been cross-questioned as to his story of the accident in which his hitch-hiking companion was killed. This investigation may turn to the underworld for some facts before it is completed, it was indicated today, although officials admitted the evidence that the body was that of Raymond is not complete. Hijacker Long Time Raymond, according to underworld evidence, had engaged in hijacking activities in and near Indianapolis for a long period of time. It is claimed that he and a companion, known as “the Wop,” hijacked a load of liquor, sold to the Caponeallied ring by Schroeder, and that, when trapped by two Chicago Heights members of the gang, declared Schroeder, after selling the liquor, had informed the hijackers of the shipment so they could intercept the load. Schroeder, coming here for the races, is alleged to have met the Chicago Heights gangster and to have been told of orders coming from Chicago that Raymond was to be “given a ride.” The underworld informants claim Schroeder’s car bore Raymond when it left a downtown hotel on the night of the torch car burning. It was said to have been followed by a large sedan bearing the two Chicago Heights gunmen, who are alleged to have killed Raymond. Burning of the car by Schroeder merely was incidental to the gang revenge upon Raymond, it is alleged. Angles Borne Out Many angles of the evidence were supported by the three questioned by Deputy Sheriff Bendel Sunday. The evidence gained such weight that Bendel informed Sheriff Winkler at Mobile of the new facts in order that Mobile ends of the case can be gathered. Among those questioned Sunday was Victor Wray, whose name at first caused authorities to discount the story coming from the underworld. Wray denied he ever used the name Raymond. Other witnesses told Deputy Sheriff Bendel, “do not confuse Wray with Raymond. Raymond is the dead man.” Efforts to locate Raymond’s former wife, said to be living in Indianapolis, were being made today. At the same time efforts were under way to trace Raymond in Philadelphia, where he formerly lived. Intense interest in the facts, as presented by The Times Saturday, caused many calls for information from underworld characters Sunday. The interest led authorities to j believe the clew was a “hot” one.

Bu Times Special MOBILE, Ala., June 23. Indiana’s request for extradition of Harold Herbert Schroeder on arson charges in the Indianapolis torch car mystery, was granted today by Governor Bibb Graves at Montgomery. Governor Graves signed the papers when they were presented by Sheriff George Winkler of Indianapolis and Sheriff Winkler was to reach Mobile this afternoon to ask an immediate court hearing on th extradition. Fear Rescue Attempt The action was taken when th Indiana authorities here became suspicious that Schroeder’s continued delay in signing extradition waivers was a p’ay for time in order to permit friends to organize • rescue, either by legal means or by actual force. After Fchroeder promised Friday night to sign extradition waivers at noon Saturday, he refused to do so. He promised anew to sign waivers during the afternoon and again balked. He did not demand exaradition hearings, but merely delayed his consent, declaring “I have business I believe I should stay here awhile to take care of.” He dickered with Sheriff George Winkler at noon Saturday, promising to sign the waivers if permitted to remain in Mobile until Monday. Again Fails on Promise Again he failed to carry out his promise and Indianapolis investigators, planning to return Schroeder to Indianapolis by automobile, today took precautions against hisr rescue by friends during the trip north. Extradition hearings will be held this afternoon or Tuesday morning. Schroeder’s object in seeking the delays was a puzzle to authorities* At all times he has expressed willingness to return to Indianapolis, but has broken repeated promises ta sign extradition waivers. That Schroeder has friends who might attempt his rescue has been indicated by several facts. A garage man who captured Schroeder hiding in weeds in a vacant lot at Mobile Friday afternoon was threatened with violence over the telephone tor his act. The man speaking gave the name “MacMahon.” R. A. MacMahon, Schroeder’s radiator shop foreman, whose former activities in Detroit are being investigated, denied making the call. Schroeder, after his arrest, claimed he returned to Mobile to protect his wife from mistreatment at the hands of investigators of the torch car mystery” even if I had to use violence.” Belief that the torch car victim might be Jack Sanders of Pritchard, Ala., were discarded over the weekend when it was learned Sartf'' ,r had written home from New “That’s My Story” tZ "That’s my story and I’ll sticJ ” it,” Schroeder told questioners wh'u his claims that he picked up a hitch hiker near Indianapolis, and that the man was killed when Schroeder’s automobile went into a ditch west of Terre Haute the night of May 30, was questioned. He claims he drove back toward Indianapolis with the body at his side, stopped his car on the High School road and fired it, making his way into Indianapolis where he remained a day. He then hitch hiked back to Mobile, he claims. FAMILY, WIPED OUT BY FATHER, TO BE BURIED Parents, Four Children Die on Rocks by Mad Whim. Bp United Press NEW HAVEN. Conn.. June 23.
