BOARD HEEDS BATHING POOL FEESPROTEST Use of Checkrooms Is Optional for Adults, Chiefs Declare. MARSH IS CRITICISED Drastic Modification of Rules Is Ordered by City Heads. Charges that check-room concessionaires at municipal bathing pools and beaches have been “hoggish and avaricious" in compelling bathers to pay checking fees provoked condemnation by the city park board today and resulted in drastic modification of the rules. Bathers, hereafter—men, women or children—may- go to the pools in their bathing suits if they choose, thus avoiding the payment of checking fees. Children under 14, at all hours when the pools are open, may use the checkroom facilities without charge. Use of the checkrooms will be optional with adults. If they wish to change clothes at the pool, then they must pay the 10-cent fee for checking. That’s Their Privilege And if men want to drive to the pools in bathing suits, or want to wear a pair of trousers over their 6uits and slip off their trousers and leave them in their autos near the pool, that’s all right, the park board ruled. Women may do the same with a dress over their suits; but no one is to leave clothing lying around in the parks surrounding the pools or transform automobiles into unsightly impromptu dressing rooms. Severe and widespread criticism directed against the manner check and dressing room concessions were being managed this season was given a thorough airing at the board meeting. * Marsh Is Target William Harrison Marsh, holding the concessions at Garfield and Ellenberger pools, was the target for much of the censure. Marsh is a close friend of Paul Rathert, member of the park board. Marsh was charged with enforcing •ptional interpretations of park board bathing regulations to his own benefit, requiring the 10-cent checking fee of virtually every one and strictly forbidding any one coming to the pool in bathing suits. Marsh has been making S2OO a day with his checking privilege ylone,” David Ki’gort, recreation director, told the board. “If the system isn't changed, he will make $20,000 out of it this season.” “Don’t Go Near Water” Jackiel W. Joseph, board member, questioned concessionaire’s right to charge checking fees at public pools. Locan Scholl, another member of the board, asserted: “Every one should be permitted to walk to the pool in their suit if they desire. They shouldn’t bar crossing the parks in their suits. Why, they run all over Miami, Fla., in bathing suits and don’t go near the water!” When objection arose to the erection of hooks by wh‘-h children might hang their clothes and escape the checking fee. Kilgore last week arranged for them to be given free checking service three hours daily. Now, the board ruled, they may check their clothes without cost at any time. Charles Sallee, park superintendent suggested free checking service for every one without cost, with city employes in charge, but the board pointed out that the city would be assuming “too much responsibility.” “Hoggish and Avaricious” On the subject of “decency,” Joseph remarked that “the majority of people are moie presentable in bating suits than in other clothes.” He took a rap at the fad of men appearing in “shorts" to back up his point. “These concession people have been hoggish and avaricious and should lose their contracts if they don't abide by the new rules,” Joseph declared. Kilgore said he anticipated some objection might arise to the rule permitting persons to stroll to the beaches in their suits. “Some churches objected to it last season,” he said.

DAD MUST HAVE THAT RAISE WHEN BABY COMES

$12.50 a Week Boost in Pay Held Necessary With Each Addition to the Family

BY H. ALLEN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. June 26.—That venerable and admirable custom of giving rattier a raise whenever anew baby arrives practically has vanished from the land, but it may have to be revived if we expect to continue as a growing country. The statistical department of the New York Federation of Women’s clubs, which figures out by ratiocination just how many licks are needed to whip up a batch of pancake batter, has applied its mathematical microscope to the subject of cost and upkeep of babies and the deduc-

tions are such that many employers, if they take these figures seriously, are due to break in a cold sweat. Whn the fin aby arrives in the household of a young married couple it is migh important that the father be given a raise of no less than $12.50 a week, according to the federation’s report. If the stork fetches twins, the raise should be $25 a week. A further raise of $12.50 is necessary for eacn and every addition to the family if the family expects to maintain its usual and customary standard cf living. No baby, say the statisticians, can be fed properly on less than $5 a week. Going out in the front yard and digging dandelion greens as

FIREARMS EXPERTS MAKE ‘PERFECT CRIME’ ALMOST AN IMPOSSIBILITY

IT is well-nigh impossible to do murder by gunfire 'without leaving a host of clews, as clear as a printed page to the modem firearms expert, writes John F. Coggswell in the current Popular Mechanics Magazine, An old man, with his son and his son-in-law lived in a mansion on a lonely suburban estate. Behind the estate, in a wooded hollow, a cottage was occupied by a man of all work. On account of numerous trespasses, there had been much trouble between the workman and the occupants of the big house. Bad blood was especiallv strong between the laborer ’d the son-in-law.

City Banker’s Wife Passes While on Vacation Trip in Maine. Mrs. Jessie S. Landon/ 60, wife of Hugh McK. Landon, vice-president and chairman of the executive committee of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, died of heart disease today at Seal Harbor, Me., where the Landons had gone for a vacation, dispatches received by friends related. The Landons left Indianapolis Monday, Mr. Landon intending to return to Indianapolis early in July and leave Mrs. Landon in Seal Harbor for the summer. Mrs. Landon formerly was Mrs. Henry H. Walker. She married Landon about ten years ago, several years after the death of Mr. Walker. She was the daughter of J. L. Spaulding, wealthy lumber dealer of Chicago. Known for Philanthropies Mrs. Landon had no children and is survived by a sister in Chicago. Mrs. Landon had been ill for the last two years, but, apparently, was improved when she and her husband departed for Seal Harbor. Mrs. Landon was known throughout the middle west for her interest in soical and civic activities. She made large gifts to colleges and hospitals, including St. Lukes’ hospital at Chicago. After coming to Indianapolis, she was one of the leaders in social work at the Riley hospital for children. Injured in Naples She suffered a severe ankle injury in Naples when touring Europe two years ago and recently suffered a recurrence of the injury at her home. Mrs. Landon was interested in horticulture, and the conservatory at the family estate, Oldfield, on Woodstock drive, was one of the show places of Indianapolis. Mrs. Landon’s body will be returned from Seal Harbor Friday afternoon, arriving here Sunday morning. Funeral services will be held at the Indianapolis residence Sunday afternoon at 2, with the Rev. Floyd Van Keuren, pastor of Christ church, officiating. The body will be taken to Chicago Sunday night for burial there Monday. Landon was president of the Indianapolis Community Fund in 1928-1929, relinquishing the post last February. He now is a director of the fund and has been active in the organization since it was organized ten years ago.

On the floor of the hall, lay the huddled body of the son-in-law, a gaping wound in the back of the head. The old man heard moans and then a cry for help from the basement. He rushed down the stairs and found his son lying in a pool of blood flowing from a half-dozen wounds—deep knife slashes. The fatal bullet had hit the son-in-law squarely between the eyes, emerged through the back of the skull, at a slightly upward angle, and buried itself deep in the woodwork of the doorway. Below an open basement window stood a barrel, bottom up. Beside it lay & blood-stained knife. It proved barren of legible fingerprints and did not become important evidence.

Chris Was Dry Columbus Had Freckles and a Dimple, Never Used Oaths.

BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, June 26.—Christopher Columbus had freckles and a dimple in his chin, was a strict vegetarian, a 100 per cent dry, who drank only water flavored with sugar and orange-flowers, and had the habit of sprinkling himself with perfumer, particularly attar of roses and odor of black currants. That is the picture Dr. Jean Charcot of the Institute of France, famed as an explorer in polar waters, has drawn of the hardy navigator after nearly a lifetime study of the history of Columbus. In the opinion of Charcot, Columbus was not an explorer, but a traveling salesman, who had been

sent often by the government to buy sugar in African isles and to sell Spanish and Portugueses goods. Dr. Charcot pictures Columbus as a kind father and perfect gentleman, almost saintly in character. He never swore, beyond an occasional oath “By San Fernando,” and he knew nothing of the traditional vocabulary of seamen. “After four and a half centuries we are just beginning to be able to draw a picture of what Columbus looked like,” said Charcot. “We know now that he was taller than average, had a long face and a long aquiline nose. His dimpled chin portrayed strength of character. His cheeks Columbus had freckles and a eyes were wells of emotion. His whole face was freckled, and by 30, his hair was gray, “Even if he had not discovered America, he would have gone down into history as the admiral who had given the hammock to ships, and ever since his day seamen have slept at night in that sort of bed.”

He jumped from his chair and saw a figure just disappearing through the door to the cellar stairs. He pursued the fugitive and grappled with him in the basement. However, he had been felled by a fierce attack with a knife. The fleeing man had dived through the open window and vanished into the night. Search of the workman’s premises revealed a .32-special rifle, hidden in the woodpile, a recently discharged shell in the barrel. He was arrested and charged with the crime.

AGED CITY MAN IS SHOT DOWN BY MARAUDER Wounded Twice by Prowler Who Breaks Into Chicken House. Charging upon a chicken house at his home at 3 this morning, while a man fired revolver shots at him, John F. Robinson, 73, of 1408 South Sherman drive, was wounded twice. One shot struck Robinson in the groin and the second in the left heel. He was treated % at city hospital and then was returned to his home. A buzzer in his bedroom warned Robinson that a prowler was in his chicken house. Armed with a singleshot rifle he went to investigate. As he approached the chicken house a man appeared and aimed a revolver at Robinson. Despite the threat Robinson advanced and the man fired, wounding him in the groin. Robinson fired the single charge from his rifle and turned to the house to get more cartridges. The chicken house prowler fired again and the shot struck Robinson in the heel. His condition is not serious. Fires at Burglar When Sergeant Walter Coleman and a police squad arrived no trace of Robinson’s assailant was found. Evan Stackhouse, 65, of 520 North Gladstone avenue, fired two shots at a burglar in his grocery at 4115 East Michigan street early today, the man escaping. Later Edward Barclay, 42, was arrested on burglary charges.

Had the shot been fired from the rear of the hallway the bullet would have gone nearly straight into the wood, after traversing the victim’s skull.

It is the opinion of statisticians at the federation’s home-making center in New York that the rapid decline in the national birth rate, as shown in the interior department's recent report, is due to financial restrictions. Reluctance on the part of women to bear children has nothing to do with it, the report states.

‘I’LL TRY HARD,’ IS DRY BOSS’ PLEDGE

‘Prohibition Law Will Be Enforced Honestly and Fairly.’ Bu Scrivus-H award Newsuaner Alliance BALTIMORE, June 26.—Colonel Amos W. W. Woodcock, discussing plans for his new job as national prohibition director, makes only one definite promise. “The prohibition law,” Colonel Woodcock said today, “will be enforced honestly, decently and fairly. There will be no underhand maneuvering. “And that,” said he, “is as much as any citizen can ask and no more than he should desire.” The Maryland United States attorney, whose record caused him to be selected for this nation-wide office, doesn’t attempt to predict how successful he will be in trying to enforce the prohibition law. He doesn’t say that the liquor traffic will stop or all bootlegging places will be closed. He simply says he will get into the job and do the best he can. “I was chosen, I suppose, because I am a lawyer who has had considerable contact with the problems of prohibition enforcement," he said. Would he make a drive on rum runners across the borders? Would he go after the big bootleggers? Would he try to wipe out the liquor racketeers? To all these questions Colonel Woodcock said merely, “It is a little early to be talking about definite plans. Just say for me that I am going to take up all the problems of en "orcement the best way I know how, and my one promise is fchat the bill of rights will be observed.” On the general question of prohibition Woodcock was even more silent. “Do you think you can eliminate bootlegging in the nation?” he was asked. Woodcock smiled. “That is something I will be able to answer later,” he said.

RALPH CAPONE IS MILLIONAIRE; BEEp IT Brother of Chicago’s Gang Czar Piled Up Annual Haul of $300,000. THRIVED FOR 6 % YEARS Income Tax Probe Reveals Fortune; Draws Term in Leavenworth. BY BRUCE CATTON, NBA Serriee Writer CHICAGO, June 26.—How much money can a Chicago gangster make in a year? A definite answer to that absorbing question is available for the first time. Federal court records show that a gangster can take in at least $300,000 a year—with the probability that it will be a good deal more. This is approximately four times the annual salary of the President of the United States. This figure is available because of the recent conviction of Ralph Capone, brother of the famous Scarface Al, on charges of violating the law relating to the filing of income tax returns and the paying of income taxes thereon. $1,800,000 in Six Years Three other gangsters Terry Druggan, Frankie Lake and Frank Nitto are also under indictment for fake income tax returns. Ralph Capone, who is under sentence of three years in Leavenworth, and who will be one of the few Chicago gangsteri actually to go to pris'-n if the higher court- do not reverse his conviction. banked $1,800,000 in the six years from 1923 to 1929. Thus he was convicted not for bootlegging, but for the profits he made thereby. Dwight H. Green, assistant United States attorney who handled the case against him, doesn’t think that that is the whole story, either. “His total income,” says Mr. Green, “probably was a good deal higher than that, but if we were called on to prove it in court, our evidence would be rather meager. However, the indications were that it was substantially more.” Not a ‘Big Shot’ Now Ralph Capone isn’t one of gangland’s big shots. He has a famous and powerful brother, and he had a good racket of his own, but he never was one of the real headliners. But Ralph Capone was able to bank $300,000 a year; and if you ever wonder how Chicago’s gang got that way, you might ponder over the size of that income for a while —remembering, as you ponder, that Ralph Capone was only one of many. The Capone inr-ne tax investigation took time between six and eight months. Meanwhile, the investigators checked up to see if Capor.e had made any tax returns. They found that in 1926 he had filed returns for the years 1922, 1923, 1924 and 1925. His returns showed net incomes of $15,000 for 1922 and $20,000 for each of the other years, and said that the money was made in “speculations.” The $4,000 tax due on this money, however, never had been paid. Fortune In Beer “We also got evidence to show how his money had been made,” says Green. “At the trial we had testimony from men who had operated saloons. Many of the deposits on Capone’s various dummy acocunts were checks given him by these people—and they testified that the checks were in payment for “Originally they were paying $35 a barrel for the stuff. Then the price went to S4O, then to SSO and finally to $55, -'hich I understand is the price now.” So Ralph Capone, convicted, faces a trip to Leavenworth. But when I asked Mr. Green if it might not be possible for the government to send some more gang leaders to prison in the same way, seeing that Chicago seems unable to put them there for murder or robbery or bootlegging, he shock his head doubtfully. C wry Their Rolls “The trouble is,” he said, “that they don’t have bank accounts any more. The gangsters won’t take checks now—nothing but cash. And they don’t deposit their money in banks. They carry it around with the n.” “Then,” I said, “the average gangster must have a pretty sizable roll of money on hi* hip all the time?” Green nodded. “He does.” TEN SUE TO GET JOBS Muncie Firemen Declare They Were Dismissed on Political Grounds.
