REWARD PAID FOR DISCOVERY OF MACDONALD John Taeuber of Baltimore Ready to Spend SSOO Three Ways. •FELT SORRY FOR MAC’ •Often Said He Wished He Could Sleep and Never Wake Up.’ Pi Scrippi-Howord Ketcnpnprr Alliance BALTIMORE, July 16 —Just fourteen years ago next Tuesday there began a man-hunt in the mass murder of the San Francisco Preparedness day parade. A reward of $17,500 for catpure of the bombers was offered. This drew into Prosecutor Fickert's camp a motley crew of informers, eager to swear away 1 lives for dollars. Mooney and Billings were “identified” by the Fickert perjurers and. but for the intervention of a President. Mooney would have been hanged. Not one of the group—Oxman, Estelle Smith, the Edeaus. John MacDonald—ever received his pieces of silver. Turned Over to Police Recently another manhunt was atarted. for the one man who could open the prison doors for Mooney and Billings. “Get John MacDonald” was the word sent forth. The San Francisco News offered a reward of SSOO for information leading to the location of the key witness needed to clinch the frameup proof. Pictures and descriptions were broadcast. Last Friday night John C. Taeuber. saw the picture in another Scripp6-Howard newspaper, the Baltimore Post, identified it as that of a former roomer, MacDonald, sought him out and turned him over to the police. To Spend It Three Ways Today Taeuber officially was named by State's Attorney Herbert O'Connor as the man entitled to the reward. Editor W. N. Burkhart of the News wired the money, and presentation was made by his representative. “I'm going to spend it three ways," said Taeuber, gas company collector and father of three children. “Part of it goes to fill up the old coal bin, another part goes for some back debts and the rest goes into the savings bank.” The Taeubers live in a red brick row house. In the back room lived “Mr. Mac” | for eight months, paying $3.50 a week "as regular as clock work." It was his cough, his nervous walking up and down, his melancholia, that finally so upset Mrs. Taeuber that three months ago she asked him to leave. Baltimore Is Shocked “I felt sorry for the old man,” she said. “I knew' he was carrying something awful around on his mind. He used to talk with me when he came home from work. Often he said he wished he could sleep and if he got to sleep never wake up." The MacDonald affair drags here as arrangements for taking the witness coastward shape themselves. Baltimore, for three days shocked by the revelation of the MooneyBillings frameup as told in the MacDonald affidavits and other stories. is tired of washing San Francisco's dirty linen. Everybody connected with the affair hopes that by that time MacDonald. acompanied by somebody, whether his own fee-less lawyers or by Mooney's Frank Walsh, will be on his way to make it right with justice and with his own tormented toul.

Marion Man Silent After Confessing Framing of Evidence. ! Bu Timex Special MARION, Ind., July 16.—Clayton j Heavilin 36, is refusing to affirm or deny repot ts that he will repudiate a confession signed Saturday in the presence of Sheriff Jacob Campbell and George Coogan, deputy state fire marsha*. In the confession it was asserted evidence against several suspects <n bombings here, which cost five 'lves, was framed. “I w’on't tell you anything,” or "see my lawyer,” Heavilin replies to all questions. He is at liberty on SSOO bond signed by his father. Charged With Perjury The alleged informer was arrested after Mrs. Frma Legos, widow of one of the bomb victims, filed an affidavit charging him with perjury. Mayor Jack Edwards, who promised to make a statement as soon as he had an opportunity to examine the confession made by Heavilin, refuses to say “anything for publication.” The mayor and Police Chief Lewis Lindenmuth are said to have held a conference at Anderson with Ora Slater, chief investigator for the Cal Crim Detective Agency, who was in charge of an investigation of the bombing. Detective Accused A private detective, who was sent here by the Crim agency, was implicated in an alleged plot to frame the evidence against the bombing suspects in the confession made by Heavilin. Prosecutor Harley Hardin to whom the officers presented a copy of the confession states that he has not decided if charges will be filed against the detective. “If the charges can be proved, the detective is guilty of subornation of perjury,” the prosecutor declared.

station at Capitol avenue and Twen-ty-second street and at a similarly operated station owned by the Peoples Nugas, Inc., at Cambridge City, Ind. From Chicago today, T. B. Jenkins, president of the Hoosier Petroleum Company and of Peoples Nugas, Inc., voiced this protest of the ruling: “The fire marshal’s recently published rule forbidding common car- j riers from delivering gasoline to any ; filling station serving directly or in- | directly a serve-self filling station 1 is intolerable and if enforceable; without a court ruling would confiscate our property without recourse to law. “We’re breaking no low in operating serve-self filling stations. We will violate no rules that do not deprive us of our rights. “The fire marshall is vested under the law with ample means to enforce his rules with a court order if he can do so. We repeatedly have requested him to issue an order against us and secure a court ruling. We, of course, would abide by a court’s decue. “The railroads are no more a party to this situation than the refiners who make the gas. We are providing safe and convenient means for a car owner to fill his j tank with gas and we only desire the public to know that we are not law breakers.” ASK FIRE HOUSES REPAIR South Side Civic League Presents Request to Officials. Rehabilitation of Engine House 19, Morris and Harding streets, was asked today of city officials by the Enterprise Civic League.

WOMAN DARRED THOMPSON AID IN SENATE RACE Mrs. McCormick ‘Would Rather Lose Than Be Ousted Like Smith.’ TURNED DOWN FACTION Quiz Reveals Fact Candidate Refused to Contribute to Big Group.

Bii United Press FEDERAL BUILDING, Chicago, July 16.—Ruth Hanna McCormick took the questioning of witnesses into her own hands at the senate campaign funds inquiry today and sought to prove that she did not solicit the support of Mayor William Hale Thompson when she won the Republican senatorial nomination in Illinois against Senator Charles S. Deneen last April. Since her return from Washington Mrs. McCormick has been busy replying to charges that she won her big vote in Chicago by casting her lot with "Big Bill” Thompson and others of the city hall Republican organization. Some of her opponents even made veiled allusions to an alleged political alliance between Mrs. McCormick and “Scarface” A1 Capone, the gang czar. Today Mrs. McCormick took an opportunity to put her denial of these reports into the record Qf the senate campaign funds committee. Cross-Examines Chairman Mrs. McCormick was given an opportunity to cross-examine B. W. Snow, chairman of the Cook county Republican central committee, after Senator Nye had completed questioning him. Snow had testified that his committee indorsed Mrs. McCormick s candidacy. To Mrs. McCormick’s questions, Snow replied: “I took responsibility in marking tthe organization’s ballots for Mrs. McCormick. I did that, not because of any particular interest in her candidacy, but because of personal contact with the voters and my political workers showed me there was a wave of sentiment running very high in her behalf. I felt we would benefit our local ticket by indorsing her.” Turned Down Harding Senator Nye read a letter from George Harding, county treasurer and a power in the city hall organization, in which Harding said Mrs. McCormick had declined to contribute funds to his group, saying she rather would lose the election than win and “be ousted as were Vare and Frank L. Smith.” Four checks, totaling $17,500, which represented his contributions to Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick's campaign for the Republican senatorial nomination in Illinois, were produced at the opening of today’s session by Colonel Robert R- McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune and brother-in-law of Mrs. McCormick. Colonel McCormick's contributions made no increase in the grand total of known campaign expenditures—s326,ooo—since his checks were given to volunteer organizations, hose expenses had been reported previously by Mrs. McCormick.

SLAIN GANGSTER IS INDIANA MAN, CHECK REVEALS One of Two Murder Victims Found in Illinois Is Former Convict. Bn United Press SPRINGFIELD, 111., July 16. Identification of the two murdered men whose bodies were found east of here several days ago as rum runners, was believed to be complete today following a checkup of fingerprints taken cf one of the victims. Prints taken from the fingers of the first victim whose body was found near Rochester, seven miles east of here last Friday, were identified by Chicago police as those of R. C. Tincher, 45-year-old ex-con-vict of Terre Haute, Ind., according to word received here. The prints of the other victim have not been identified as yet, but local police have expressed the belief that the man is Elmer Stover, 27, of Rome, Ga„ and companion of Tincher in rum running and racketeering. Served Sentence With the identification of the two men, solution of the double murder moved a step nearer completion today. Tincher was known to have had a police record and to have served a sentence in Vermilion county for violating the national prohibition law. Police here have expressed the opinion that the two men were killed by Chicago gunmen, after they had “cut in” on Cook county bootlegger’s territory and liquof traffic. They are convinced, they said, that the men also engaged in hijacking. Ran Booze Route The men are believed to have operated out of Springfield and to have run booze from Evansville, Ind., to Chicago and from Chicago to Louisville. Stover, although he has no local police record, is wanted in Clinton, Ind., where authorities are seeking him on a prohibition law violation charge. The bodies of the two men were found in the same locality east of here several days ago. Tincher’s body was found Friday, while the body of Stover was found Monday. Both bodies indicated that the victims had been subjected to torture before being put to death.

Destruction of this town’s old grain mill by fire removed one of the landmarks of this section of Indiana and was the fourth fire loss suffered by the Thrasher family in eight years, three believed due to incendiarism. Fred Thrasher, who owned the mill, and some other citizens here also are inclined to believe the latest fire was set. The loss is estimated at $3,500. Eight years ago a livery stable owned by Fred Thrasher, his father, J. W., and orother, Wayne Thrasher, was burned. Three years ago a residence owned by Fred, but occupied by another family, was destroyed by fire. The Thrasher general store vas among structures destroyed cere April 24 this year, and in which the Odd Fellows hall and two residences also were razed. A year ago a fire in the mill was extinguished. Evidence that kerosene had ceen sprinkled about the old structure was found. The mill was built during Civil war period by Jack Strain.

Two rivals were reported still in the branches this morning in the city, while from all over the nation came challenges of other boys determined to outsit even the legendary early Christian monks of the Thebaid, one of whom is said to have perched atop a column of a ruined desert temple for seven years. They were: Cleo Biggs, 1848 East Tenth street, who went aloft at noon Tuesday, and Warren Wingenread, 12, of 3123 North Sherman drive, who went up into his tree at 8 p. m., Tuesday. With life well organized in his bower, Palmer today had but one worry, the approaching week-end, when he must descend to go on a vacation with his parents. Whether, if he sits until then, he will have achieved a record unapproachable by the myriad other boys after the honor, he doubts.

‘RED MCE’ GROWING AS WORLD FEAR Revolutions, Unemployment Add to Terror Roused by Communism. POPE ISSUES WARNING Boss Stalin, Moscow Gang Believe Time Is Ripe for Bolshevism. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripns-Howard Fot dan Editor WASHINGTON. July 16 —Whether it be only an ugly bugaboo or an actual and pressing menace, the fact remains that once again the “red peril” has become almost a world-wide, and growing obsession. Behind this well nigh universal uneasiness are two fundamental reasons. First, virtually every nation on the globe either is a state of actual or potential revolution, or else is in the grip of an alarming economic depression, plus unemployment and, perhaps, political complications. Second, the “watchful waiting” faction of Communists in doscow just has been forced to rec nt and eat humble pie before the party convention, while Boss Stalin and his followers, who believe the world situation is ripe for Bolshevist action, now have taken over the reins quite definitely. Pope Is Warning The Pope has seen fit to issue a warning from the Vatican City, and there hardly is a government in the world that either is not anxiously on the watch, or taking active steps to head off what, rightly or wrongly, it believes to be a grave danger. China and India, together containing almost half the total population of the earth, actually are in revolution, and nervous observers have not forgotten the Lenin doctrine that “through the east will the west be conquered.” The French just have put down a bloody insurrection in Indo-China, which, according to Minister of Colonies Pietri, was instigated by known agents of Moscow whose avowed aim was to oust the French and set. up a Communist state. Trouble in Latin Nations Communist clashes in Mexico, Honduras and other Latin American republics recently have been reported. Bolivia and Brazil have had revolutionary uprisings; Paraguay is reported in a state of siege - an* martial law has been set up in a part of Honduras. Egypt, says Makram Bey, former cabinet minister of that country, “is in a very grave and indeed, critical situation” as w r hat he claims to bo 95 per cent of the people line up against the government. Turks and Persian Kurds are fighting along the border in tho shadow of Ararat where Noah's ark landed after the flood, and there is friction in Palestine between Zionist and Arab. Poland’s long drawout crisis, due to the quarrel between dictator and president, continues. Rumania is in the throes of important dynastic changes and Hungary faces trouble, perhaps invasion, if she attempts to place a crown upon the head of the 17-year-old Archduke Otto, the Hapsburg. Balkans Are Restless Throughout the Balkans there is restlessness as talk proceeds for and against revision of the Versailles treaty, and while, for the moment, France and Italy have declared a truce, their quarrels are by no means settled. England, Germany and the United States have serious unemployment problems on their hands, and Japan similarly is stricken. An economic depression has hit the whole world. It was this unhappy situation which the rulers of Moscow had in mind when they observed that events were working in their favor. And it is this that forms the background as capitalist nations talk of the Communist danger. TWO MEN LOSE LIVES AS SEWER CAVES IN Several Tons of Earth Fall on Trio; One Brought Out Alive. Bn United Press CHICAGO, July 16. Three workmen were trapped in a sewer today, and before rescuers could reach them two were smothered and the third was injuried seriously. The men were caught under several tons of earth when a weakened section of the sewer collapsed. Rescue workers brought out one of the three alive. The two others were dead when reached. The cavein occurred in a remote section of Chicago's west side and the men were not identified immediately. DOG OWNERS WARNED July 25 Final Day, Deputy Controller Coleman Announces. Dogs without license on July 25 will be impounded by the city, Deputy Controller Francis Coleman announced today. The new license tags are on sale at the city controller’s office and owners will be given a period ot grace to obtain the license, Coleman said. 30 CHICKENS STOLEN Complete Raid Is Made of Ona, Neighborhood, Police Are Told. Thirty chickens were stolen from one neighborhood Tuesday night, according to reports to police today. The losses: Albert Grleb, 936 Ewing street, $10; Mrs. Harry Grieb, 934 Ewing street, $4; Mrs. D.
