HOOVER HALTS QUIZ OF STOCK PRICE SMASH Senate Probe of Market Crashes Demanded by Arthur Robinson. WATSON FEARS HARM Brokers Are Alarmed by Threat of Sweeping Investigation. &\ BY LEO R. SACK (Copyright, 1930, by S. H. N. A.) WASHINGTON. July 2.—President Hoover has Intervened to prevent a sweping senate investigation of the New’ York Stock Exchange, with particular reference to “short” selling in the October and November crashes last year and the collapse in June. The President, in conversations with the senate leaders, took the position, it is understood, that any probe now would be like throwing a lighted match in to a keg of dynamite. in so far as the present economic and industrial situation is concerned. His view’ was shared by Senator James E. Watson of Indiana, Republican leader of the senate, wTro also felt that a probe would prove more harmful than beneficial. Other senators thought, too, that a senate inquiry would cause a further depression of stock by scaring big Investors. Club Over Brokers Prospect of a senate Investigation of the Stock Exchange by a. select committee with unlimited powers to subpena books and persons and to force testimony, is not over yet, however. Anxious New York brokers, fearful of a probe, have been informed that another selling wave such as ten days ago will be certain to precipitate senate action. They have been told, also, that the senate will continue in session for several weeks longer because of the pending London naval treaty and that under senate rules this, or any other proposal, can be considered. There is discussion, too, of the possibility of the introduction and passage of a resolution directing such a probe and the appointment of a special committee for the purpose, but with the understanding that no actual inquiry will be made during the recess of the senate unless there comes another crash and senators are then of the opinion that this crash is the result of manipulation. This, in effect, would be a senate club over the Stock Exchange. Robinson Urges Move The proposed investigation which President Hoover has postponed w T as sponsored by a group of socalled “young guard” Republicans, including Senators Glenn of Illinois, Hatfield of West Virginia, and Arthur Robinson of Indiana. They believe that the steady decline in stock prices during June, which reached its culmination shortly after passage of the tariff bill, when levels lower than last November 13 were recorded by many securities, was forced by brokers and large operators who took advantage of nation-wide unemployment and opposition to the tariff to create an artificial situation. It is likely that the next congress will make a serious effort to regulate security trading. The interstate commerce powers of the congress may be invoked to provide such regulation, in the hope of preventing future stock market panics.

WANTS ARSON SQUAD Hogston Plans to Name Boards in State. Plans to create arson squads of five members in all towns of 5.000 or more have been made by State Fire Marshal Alfred E. Hogston. The squads will be similar to those organized two years ago by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, he explained. They will consist of the chiefs of police and fire departments, or members of the force, the sheriff or a deputy and two civilians. These latter will not be deputized. but will work at volunteer investigators in arson cases under the plan. Hogston said. Arson cases are on the increase, according to the fire marshal, and there have been 500 fires of suspicious origin reported to his office during the last six months.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1930

MEURER WINS COURT WAR ON PARKING LAW Circuit Judge Holds Zones at Business Houses Are Illegal. COPS SHORN OF POWER Talk of Complete Ban in Downtown District Is Revived. “No-parking” zones in front of commercial and industrial buildings, as allowed by the city safety board, are unlawful, by ruling of Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin. Judge Chamberlain so held late Tuesday in the case of Albert F. Meurer, former city councilman, who for months has fought against the “no-parking” rule. After arrest for violation cf the ordinance, he carried his fight on the section of the present model city cede to circuit court. The Chamberlain decision today revived the discussion of a ban on all downtown parking as a solution of the traffic problem. The decision practically robs police of authority to designate any no-parking area which is not ordered by council. It was the contention of Meurer and his attorney that no council authority for the “no parking police order” signs existed. Easy to Amend City Attorney James E. Deery expressed the belief that there would be no difficulty in amending the present ordinance to make the designation of such zones by the city council legal. City lawyers and safety officials were studying the opinion with the view of working out a satisfactory and early solution to the tangle. “There must be some regulation of traffic so as to provide facilities for entrance to property,” said Deery. “Every property owner is entitled to ingress and egress to his property and it is only a detail to work out some legal way that can be governed.” “It appears that the day is not far off when the city will prohibit all parking in a certain downtown district as a solution to the traffic problem,” Deery suggested. Fear Protest Storm Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and several other city officials have expressed a desire to try the ban on all downtown parking, but it has been indicated that a storm of protest would rise because of the added business which would be thrown to downtown parking garages and lots. Herbert Spencer, former city prosecutor, who represented the city in the appeal to Chamberlin’s court, expressed belief the case should be appealed to restore the board’s right to designate the zones. Since Meurer’s arrest several months ago, police have made little effort to enforce the section of the measure under question. Little Money Accepted Charles R. Myers, safety board president, pointed out that although a number of applications had been received for restricted parking zones, little money had been accepted by the city pending the final decision. Money paid for such zones can not be recovered from the city, attorneys said. Howard M. Meyer was retained by Meurer to carry the appeal from municipal court to test the ordinance’s validity. The ruling applies only to the private zones for business houses and does not include other noparking zones designated by the board.

DEATH DRIVER WILL APPEAL Youth Will Fight to Avert Prison Sentence. Convicted by a criminal court jury of involuntary manslaughter, Robert Lewark, 21, of 2162 Station street, is held in jail today while his attorneys contemplate filing motion for anew trial from the one-to-ten-year prison sentence carried in the jury’s verdict. The jury’s finding was reached after less than a hour of deliberation late Tuesday, pronouncing Lewark guilty of being drunk when his auto careened over a sidewalk near his home in June, 1929, fatally injuring Dilma McAfee, 9, as it crushed her against the porch of her home at 2309 Station street. Paul Rhoadarmer, deputy prosecutor, in closing arguments to the jury, characterized the child’s death as the “most brutal in court history.” He pictured Lewark as a drink-crazed killler, asserting that the drunken driver is society’s greatest menace. Defense attorneys attempted to prove that Lewark was not drunk when the crash occurred. The defendant had testified he drank “a pint of beer” a few moments prior to the crash. Trial Judge James A.

CHICAGO GANG INVADES LOOP FOR GUN DUEL State Street Is Scene of Bullet Battle With Cop and Foes. MOTORMAN IS KILLED Theater Crowds in Panic as Volleys Peril Lives of Hundreds. July 2.—State street, the world's most brilliantly lighted thoroughfare, was marked today as the battle ground of one of the Chicago underworld's most daring outbreaks. Under the glare of thousand candle-power lamps on a corner only one block from the postoffice, flashily dressed gangsters opened fire upon an automobile in which a police lieutenant was escorting a notorious gang leader and three of his followers back to “safe territory.” In the exchange of shots between the lieutenant and the assailants, a motorman was killed, another bystander was wounded in the arm, home-going theater crowds hid behind lamp posts and metal refuse boxes, and the three gangsters who were the original targets in the outbreak fled on foot to doubtful safety. Then the attacking gangsters employed a method of escape that has been used but seldom in the long and bloody history of organized crime. From the exhaust of their big blue sedan they released a cloud of smoke that choked State street from wall to wall, obscured the vision of their pursuers and enabled them to escape.

Believed Gang Plot Police believe that gangsters plotted the attack before knowing their rivals were to ride up State street with a police escort, but decided to go through with it anyhow after seeing the men they had “put on the spot” in a sedan with a widely known police lieutenant. Jack Zuta, notorious member of the Moran-Aiello north side gang, apparently was the target of the two men who started the gun battle. Zuta and three companions, one of them a girl, just had been released on bonds after being held for twenty-four hours for questioning in the case of Alfred (Jake) Lingle, Chicago Tribune reporter, who was rturdered in a subway three weeks a;v' last Monday. When Zuta, Solly Vision, Albert Bratz and Leona Berstein, all arrested in a raid on Moran gang headquarters, were released from jail, Zuta asked for a police escort across the Loop, explaining that once he and his companions reached their own north side they would be safe, but that he feared he never could get across the Loop alive if they went alone. Fired at Close Range Lieutenant George Barker offered to act as escort. The four got into his sedan, Vision sitting beside Barker, while Zuta huddled between Bratz and the girl in the rear seat. As the car rolled along State street at about fifteen miles an hour, a dark blue sedan swung from behind, drew alongside, and a tall man stepped to the running board, drew a pistol from a shoulder holster and began firing. Seven bullets imbedded themselves in Barker’s car before he could stop it, jump to the street, draw his gun and begin returning the gangster’s fire. The gunmen’s car stopped also and several volleys of shots were exchanged at close range. Elbert Lusader, 38, a street car motorman, stood at the controls of his car, stalled by the Barker machine which was on the tracks. Astounded by the almost unbelievable sight before him, Lusader stood gaping. Watchman W’ounded A bullet from the tall gangster’s gun pierced his neck and he fell, mortally wounded, dying early today in St. Luke’s hospital. Another bullet hit Olaf Svenste, 69, a watchman who was hurrying to his work in a nearby skyscraper. It ripped through the muscles of his left arm. His gun emptied, Lieutenant Barker jumped back into his car, from which Zuta and his companions mysteriously had disappeared during-the fight. Barker started in pursuit of the gangsters, who were speeding down State street toward the north side. At Madison and State, one of the world’s busiest comers, a dense cloud of smoke shot from the exhaust of the gangsters’ auto or from a bomb thrown into the street, refunds - ™ be made Farmers to Divide SIOB,OOO Saved in Fertilizer Purchasing.
