Hot Stuff! Even Weather Man Bakes as Torrid Sun Keeps City Gaping for Even Slightest of Breezes.
IF you’re hot under the collar today and would like to sit by the shade of a creek bank with a bottle of lager by your side you’re not so lonesome. Take the weather man, J. H. Armington, he can’t press a button and bring a snowstorm into his office in the Consolidated building. "What are we doing this hot weather? Why, sweating, Just like you are,” proclaims Armington as he denies any special divine dispensation from Old Man Heat. a u BUT here’s manna for you hayfever sufferers who pray for the first frost-bite in Thursday weather forecast. "Tonight and Thursday cooler; showers,” avers Armington. a a u IT was a "d-ripping” day for city icemen. "Sweat, brow and back, and you can’t tell which is perspiration and
which is melting ice,” exclaimed one of the overworked “toters” of the tons, as he carried another “fifty” into a north side home. a a a Restaurants saw the seasonal return of the coatless fad Soda fountains did a land office business. Swimming pools resembled anthills from an airplane. Photographers poured forth unholy blessings trying to develop pictures in lukewarm hypo. Ties askew, rolled sleeves, was the uniform of the day for males. While women gave the other sex the “ha! ha!” with silken skirt, scanties and shorts. Oh! it was a great day—for—for —South Sea islanders. a a a NOW is the time for all good goldfish to go to heaven. That is they’ll be ready for the sardine factory, you owners of bowls of golden fins, unless their water is kept at a temperature of 70 degrees.
“They die like flies in the present ninety degree temperature,” warned R. B. Ward, 147 North Pennsylvania street, expert in household pets. "Cool the water slowly in bowls. If you don’t the beat will cause the oxygen to disappear and the goldfish will come to the surface gasping for air—and die,” he said. a a a GIVE Fido a break! Concretely, this was the advice of Dr. Elizabeth Conger, pound master, today in weathering your favorite hound through the present torrid spell. “Plenty of water, plenty of shade and go light on the meat,” the doctor urged as a means of keeping Fido frigid. a a m WITH the sun for “Colonel Bogey,” feminine golfers’ approach and finger-hooks in jars of face creams formed the outstanding plays on city golf courses as they sought to beat “some-tan.”
“The only tee we like is the kind you spell iwth an ‘a’ and put ice in it,” shouted one Riverside golfer as she sliced into a trap.

OCEAN FLIERS FORCED DOWN OUTOF FUEL Southern Cross Landed in Newfoundland After Spanning Sea. FOG, WINDS CONQUERED Airmen Rest to Prepare for Renewal of Hop to New York. Bu United Prcus HARBOR GRACE, Newfoundland, June 25.—The Southern Cross, landed at Harbor Grace flying field at 5 a. m. (central standard time). The crew is sleeping today, recuperating before they start for New York to complete their flight from Ireland. Captain Charles E. KingsfordSmith and his three companions left word to be called at 4 p. m. when they will have had about seven hours sleep. They were expected to start early Thursday morning in their monoplane, refueled and replenished with supplies which awa ted them here. The four fliers, although completely done in by the terrific strain they had undergone during the night, when they flew blind for hours in the vicinity of Newfoundland, unable to get their bearings, otherwise were in good physical shape. Too Tired to Talk They were too tired to talk much, however, and after preliminary congratulations at the landing field, were taken at once to the hotel and to ix and. Rooms were awaiting Captam Kingsford-Smith and his companions, Evert Van Dyk, copilot; J. Patrick Saul, navigator, and John Stannage, radio operator. The Southern Cross made a safe landing after 31 hours 35 minutes in the air, having traversed, 2,190 miles from Port Marnock beach, near Dublin. Twenty hours of the Southern Cross flight across the Atlantic was through fog. Only their wellequipped radio, which got, until near the end, directions from ships, keeping the plane on its course. Strong headwinds bothered the fliers for a great part of the journey. _ Only Stars Visible
Nothing was visible all the way icross the Atlantic except two stars sighted early Tuesday night. Heavy clouds obscured the sky and the ships with which the avieto.-s talked were obscured by fog ar and clouds. When about five hundred miles off Newfoundland the fliers found their compass failing, which previously had corresponded with the directional course given by wireless. Then they were lost, and believed that they flew in circles for hours, their only guidance being such directional instructions as they received from Cape Race. 100 Miles Off Coast The fliers thought they were over land during four hours of blind flying. When daylight broke, they discovered they were about 100 miles from the Newfoundland coast without knowledge of their position. They headed for land, with only occasional glimpses of headlands through breaks in the fog. Heading blindly inland, they tried to find Harbor Grace, which they actually passed over without seeing, flew westward and circled for an hour. Returning, with hope almost abandoned, they sighted the port and descended. Flier’s Father Dying Bn United Press LONDON, June 25.—A Dublin dispatch to the Evening News said today that the father of Captain J. Patrick Saul, navigator of the Southern Cross, was seriously ill and was sinking.

POPE PIUS ILLNESS RUMOR IS DENIED
Pontiff Is Busy and Alert, Refuting Report He’s in Bad Health. Tv United Press VATICAN CITY, Junee 25.—Pope Pius continued today the busy program which started with the canonization ceremonies last Sunday and will terminate with the canonization of eight Nopth American martyrs next Sunday. Vitality of the pope in continuing his program, despite the summer heat, was shown by the fact that he received 400 pilgrims in audience today, in addition to private callers. A semi-official note issued at the Vatican said that the pope did not show “the slightest sign of fatigue” after the Sunday ceremony. The note said he “looked as fresh and alert as before starting the program.” The note was issued in connection with rumors circulated in Italy and abroad that the pope was in bad health. The rumors were described as “wholly groundless.” Monday Pope Pius received 2,000 pilgrims and Tuesday he received 800 more. It was pointed out that the pope has had an unusually heavy summer program, granting many audiences in connection with the last ceremonies of his jubilee years. Although the pope appears in good health despite his 72 years, it has been known for more than a year that he is not too robust and suffers somewhat from the heat.

THE LOVES AND SCANDALS OF A GAY ROYAL PLAYBOY
IN his hectic career of flaming romance he has had two wives and mistress, each among the most beaut’ful women in Europe. He was baffled in his first love affair with a pretty commoner, bored with his second marriage to a royal princess whom he never loved, and, apparently, disappointed with his third romance, in which he eloped with a charming mistress and renounced a crown. Such is the colorful story of “The Prodigal King,” Carol nos Rumania, now a prominent figure in the world’s news since his recent dramatic return to his native country to recover the throne he once tossed away for the embrace of a beautiful courtesan. It isn’t the plot of a gay operetta ... it isn’t a movie scenario from Hollywood . . . it’s Balkan history. As much Balkan history as was the ill-starred morganatic romance of his father. King Ferdinand, with the beautiful Mile. Helen Vacaresco, the queen’s lady-in-waiting, a generation ago ... as much as the strange friendship that existed for years bet weep Carol’s

PASS PENSION BILL; EXPECT QUICK VETO
House Democrats Accuse Hoover of Trying to Browbeat Congress. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, June 25.—Without a moment of consideration the house unanimously accepted today the disputed World war veterans’ pension bill, and directed that it be sent to President Hoover for his anticipated veto. Speaker Longworth signed the bill and it was sent to the senate, where Vice-President Curtis affixed his signature. A messenger then took the measure to the White House. The President may veto it today. Speaker Longsworth already has the promise of 154 Republicans to voce against passage of the senate bill over the veto, which is a sufficient number to prevent' overruling of the veto. Sought Vote on Measure Chairman Johnson of the house veterans’ committee submitted a unanimous consent proposal to the house to accept the bill in the exact form in which it was received from the senate. Representative Rankin (Dem., Miss.) sought to get a vote on the measure. He asked Republican Floor Leader Tilson if this course of procedure had been agreed upon in the Republican caucus Tuesday night. Tilson replied that he had not been authorized to make any statement regarding the action of the caucus and Republicans throughout the chamber shouted for “the regular order.” “Oh, all right,” he finally said, “all of us over here on the Democratic side are in favor of the bill anyway.” “Mussolini Take Notice”
Longworth then announced that the house unanimously accepted the bill. Ranklin issued a statement to the press changing “the President’s attempt to browbeat the Republican members of the house into voting to sustain his veto on the flimsy pretext that some denatured measure will be brought forward, is one of the most high-handed attempts to interfere with the prerogatives of congress ever undertaken, by any chief executive of this nation.” “Mussolini should take notice,” he declared. Oppose Substitute Officials of the American Legion, in a formal statement, today stated the organization’s attitude on the pending legislation for disabled veterans. “The legion is supporting the measure as passed by the senate and is in favor of the house approving the amendments which the senate has incorporated in the bill,” the statement said. “The legion is not interested in a substitute measure, because the present measure, as passed by the senate, contains most of the mandates expressed at the national convention in Louisville last fall.” James F. Barton, national adjutant, said individuals in the organization had not been authorized to ask the President to veto the bill.

SCHROEDER CALMLY GOES THROUGH STERN GRILLING; SUTCD ON MORDER CHARGE Poker-Faced ‘Torch Man’ Spars Deftly With’ Battery of Cross-Examiners, Baffling Inquisitors at Every Turn. CLINGS TO FIRST STORY OF DEATH Ira Holmes, Engaged to Defend Mobile Man* ,Wins Victory of State by Securing Bond Reduction on Arson Allegation. A bespectacled, poker-faced prisoner, whose life the state of Indiana will demand, sparred deftly with a battery of cross-examiners in the office of Prosecutor Judson Stark early this afternoon and baffled them at every turn. With questions volleyed at him by his inquisitors, Harold Herbert Schroeder, suspect in the High School road torch car mystery, which resulted in the death of an unidentified man May 31, clung to his story of the tragedy. Cornered, he took refuge, time after time, behind one answer: “I refer you to my former statement.” During a morning in court, Attorney Ira Holmes, engaged to defend the Mobile (Ala.) business man on arson and murder charges, gained a victory over the state by securing reduction of Schroeder’s bond on the arson charge from SIO,OOO to $2,000.
ming innumerable cigarets, Schroeder faced questioning by Stark, detective John Stump, detective Clarence Golder, Deputy Sheriff Roland Snider and Deputy Prosecutor George Eggleston, calmly. He retold, in some parts, the story given to Mobile authorities, that he picked up a hitch higher in leaving the Speedway races, that the hitch higher died when Schroeder fell asleep at the wheel of the car west of Terre Haute and the car went into a ditch, and that he burned the car after driving back toward Indianapolis because he feared accusation of murder. When questions came too fast, Schroeder took refuge in the reply “I refer you to my former statement.” During the morning, in the court of Justice of the Peace Edward L. Dietz, Schroeder’s attorney fought dismissal of arson charges against his client and indicated that, when Schroeder is arraigned in municipal court three Thursday morning on the murder charge, which was filed against him today, he will waive arraignment and then petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Thousands Watch for Prisoner Intense public interest in the torch car mystery was manifested as Schroeder was led from the county jail to the Justice of peace court. Two thousand persons blocked the alley and clambered on to automobiles and poles for a glimp >e at the Mobile (Ala.) business man, who has admitted firing his automobile with its cargo of the body of a man he claims was a hitch-hiker killed in an automobile accident in which Schroeder’s car figured. Mounted police were called to clear a lane through which Schroeder and his guards passed. Schroeder was calm throughout the morning, manifesting interest in the court proceedings and joking with officers and officials.
Jokes With Officers “You know you remind me of a friend of mine in lowa,” he said to Prosecutor Stark after the hearing in the court, and as he was being taken to Stark's office for grilling to break down his story. Advised by Attorney Holmes not to “say a word unless I am there,” Schroeder was expected by officials to prove a difficult, subject to cross examine. Attorney Holmes, engaged by Schroeder’s sisters, Mrs. Feme Sams of Elkhart and Mrs. Faye Speight of Clarion, la., whom Schroeder embraced as he met them in the courtTAPES LIPS, ENDS LIFE Nurse Seals Mouth With Adhesive in Lake Michigan Suicide. Bu United Press CHICAGO, June 25.—Fastidious even in death, Mrs. Ida May Galbraith, 63-year-old nurse, sealed her lips with adhesive tape, and leaped into Lake Michigan Tuesday night to end her life. To make certain identification would be positive and swift, Mrs. Galbraith taped her pure; to her body before committting suicide. The body was taken from the lake early today. SUSPECT GETS FREEDOM Terre Haute Woman, Held as Vagrant, Out on Habeas Corpus. Held by police on a vargrancy charge, suspected of auto theft, Miss Thelma Cole, 30, Terre Haute, was freed today on habeas corpus proceedings haerd before Superior Judge William S. McMasters. The petition was granted by McMasters on agreement of defense attorneys and George Eggleston, deputy prosecutor.

room, announced he would waive arraignment on the murder charge, filed in municipal court three this morning, and would seek a writ of habeas corpus to release Schroeder on this charge, when the arraignment is held Thursday morning. Delay in bringing Schroeder into Justice Dietz’s court this morning aroused the ire of the justice. He threatened at one time to issue contempt of court citations against Sheriff George Winkler and police officials unless Schroeder was produced immediately for arraignment. Shaves Off Mustache During the interval Schroeder was taken to the police Bertillon department and was photographed and measured. He objected to being photographed and to signing his name to the fingerprint chart card after it was completed. He submitted after long argument with police. Scheoeder’s weight had been given in descriptions as 175 to 180 pounds. Police figures today proved he weighs 156 pounds. He had shaved off the mustache he wore when captured in Mobile. Schroeder was led from the jail to police headquarters by Winkler. Newspaper men, with cameras hidden behind parked cars, took several “shots” at Schroeder, who ducked whenever he was aware he was in line with the camera’s range. Defense Being Organized That a defense is being organized intensively at Mobile to protect him in his fight against the arson charge and his probable battle against a murder charge for alleged slaying of the man whose charred body was found in Schroeder’s blazing car here, was evidenced by activities today. While Attorney T. Ernest Maholm waited in an outer room at the county jail to see Schroeder, John Ruckelshaus of the law firm of Ryan, Ruckelshaus & Ryan, asked for a conference with Schroeder. Maholm declared he had been called by long distance telephone by R. A. McMahon, foreman of Schroeder’s Mobile radiator shop, and was told to confer with Schroeder. Meanwhile, Schroeder, awake in his cell, paced it leisurely, facing, later in the day, intensive grilling to break down his story. He clings to the assertion the charred body found in his blazing car on the High School road, May 31, is that of a hitch hiker, who was killed accidentally when Schroeder, falling asleep at the wheel west of Terre Haute, permitted the car to go into a ditch. Schroeder declares he fired the car to bum the body, fearing accusation of murder.
The county grand Jury today resumed consideration of the torch car mystery case with a view to a possible indictment of Schroeder on murder charges. Identity of the torch car victim has not been determined. Wants to See Sheriff Schroeder was placed in the Marion county jail at 1:25 this morning when Sheriff Winkler, Detective Jack Stump and Deputy Sheriff Fred Fox arrived after a forced drive from the south. “I want to see you tomorrow morning,” Schroeder told Sheriff Winkler as he entered the Jail. “You'll see me, 1 live here,” the sheriff replied. Schroeder slept fitfully after leaving Hodgenville, Ky., at 6:45 Tues- | day night. He needed a hair cut | badly when he arrived here and ! Sheriff Winkler declared a hair cut and shave would be provided today. They’re ‘Satisfied’ “I’d rather be in my shoes than his,” was the comment of Henry Davis, 26, of 1210 Union street, in Bertillon headquarters at police headquarters today as Harold Herbert Schmeder, High School road torch car mystery prisoner, was led in for finger printing, photographing and measurements. • "Me. too," replied Gard McNeece, 18, of 910 South New Jersey street, who, with Davis and John E. Mutter, 19, have confessed, police say, ten grocery holdups and who are looked upon as “tough boys” by police. Schroeder heard the words, but paid no heed, smiling and nodding (to the twsuafi fie was room after records
