COPS SCANDAL HERE STUDIED IN WASHINGTON Two Federal Departments Obtain Reports on Dry Indictments. POLITICAL MOVE DENIED Hoover Enforcement Group May Send Observer to Jndianapolis. BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN Tfmfs Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. I. Two federal government departs today interested themselves in the indictment of eighteen Indianapolis policemen for conspiracy to violate national liquor laws. With receipt of a detailed report covering federal operatives’ activities in Indianapolis, Amos W. , Woodcock, prohibition commis- ■ sioner, transmitted a summery to f O. Aaron Youngquist, assistant atI torney-general, in charge of prohi- * hibition prosecutions. This was believed a forecast of assignment from Washington to assist in prosecution of the policemen when they are tried Nov. 12. Assistance Usually Sent However, subordinates of the prohibition prosecution staff explained that special attorneys usually are sent from Washington only on request of the United States attorney in charge. United States Attorney George j Jeffrey has not, and will not ask for assistance in the prosecutions. At the same time, the division of j police administration of the Wickersham law enforcement commission asked the prohibition bureau for a copy of the federal report. Although this does not mean the commission will take part in the prosecution, it may send an obesrver to Indianapolis to determine just ■where administrative machinery broke down, for incorporation in its own report. Woodcock’s assistants declined to make public the report. Reports Kept Secret • ‘ Reports of our field operatives j doubtless will form an important part of the government’s case in court. To make them public now would be to try the cases in the newspapers before they reached the judge and jury,” Howard T. Jones, assistant prohibition commissioner, pointed out. He said a copy of the report also had been transmitted to the United States attorney in Indianapolis. Interest of the Wickersham com- i mission in the case arises from Its ! early decision that the problem of ! municipal police administration j probably would be a pivotal point. in its final report on prohibition j enforcement. August Vollmer, Berkeley ‘Cal.) police chief, was named to conduct this phase of the inquiry, and he began operations here a year ago, * when at an International Police Chiefs Association meeting it was ; agreed he would be supplied with detailed reports of all cases Involving police corruption.

Aids Assemble Data Police Chief Jerry E. Kinney, Indianapolis, has not yet forwarded such a report to Vollmer's office, but attaches said they anticipated some -ort of a report. Vollmer is now in California, and his aids are assembling data on the Indianapolis case. A principal objective of Vollmer's investigations is to track down conditions which make political considerations a factor in municipal police administration. However, the fact that the Indianapolis case is being studied does not mean that the commission has concluded it is a case in point. It indicates that it bears earmarks of a case which might be productive of material shedding light on the whole problem of police administration, a hope stimulated by the fact that the Democratic city administration in Indianapolis finds itself in the center of a national scandal a month before congressional elections. prohibition officials declared the Indianapolis roundup came as in the natural course of enforcement work, and denied that political considerations motivated the drive. Police Chief Jerry Kinney has filed no report to Vollmer's office, and will not unless so requested, he declared today, stating that he was ignorant of any stipulation to supply Vollmer with information. Further, he is unable to make 'such a report at present, unaware of exact charges against his men: and still ignorant of all circumstances of the case. He files a monthly report to the I department of Justice on general Lrime, he said. That was agreed l.yn at the police chiefs’ conference HLir ago, Kinney declared. rHfflllfr' <w eTor—Rii-h in color— Kicb In |E{*l mineral nails—fresh Ten-Mlo->uce iinule from V-.almor |Herr<M is just rljrlit to please |gjg arxi aid digestion—Advcrti^p

I.—Following questioning in Chicago this morning, South Bend authorities were re aiming a man who probably will lace a charge of murdering Alice Woltman, 17-year-old high school girl, slain in bed several weeks ago. He is Harry Siwinski, one of the girl’s former sweethearts, who is alleged to have stood over her coffin as it lay in state in her parents’ home, and muttered: “Next time you’ll know’ better!" Siwinski, said to have lain low 7 after the murder, and to have disappeared after the funeral ,was arrested Tuesday night in a rooming house on the south side of Chicago. He told police he had been working in a grocery. Joseph Woltman. brother of the slain girl, said his sister and Siwinski were together the day before her throat was slashed as she she slept in a room with Joseph and tw'o sisters. The boy accompanied Prosecutor Harry Taylor, Police Chief Samuel Lenon and Decetive Capt. Horace Hamilton to Chicago Tuesday night. Chicago police identified Siwinski as having been' arrested by them several years ago on a statutory charge.

DALE MOVES TO OUST DR. KING Impeaching of Health Board Secretary Suggested. Bu Tiwrg Soecial MUNCIE, Ind., Oct. I.—lmpeachment of Dr. William H. King, secretary of the Indiana state board of health, now is proposed by Mayor George R. Dale of Muncie. The mayor said today that he would take steps to remove Dr. King by impeachment or some other method, charging the health board secretary has assumed dictatorial power. The attack was made on Dr. King after announcement was made that Muncie officials would be called to appear before the health /oard Oct. 8 to explain why steps have not been taken to clean up White river. Dale said he would ignore any summons from the board, although other officials announced their willingness to appear. Two health officers are on duty today, Dr. H. D. Fair, who was discharged by Dale, and Dr. John Williams, appointed to succeed Fair. Dr. Fair awaited instructions from the state board as to whether he should quit or retain his office. Under state law, it is understood, the mayor can not remove a health officer except by filing formal charges in a county court. Dale has not intimated that he would take such action, as he considers the Incident closed.

STATE BRANDS POOR FARM AS ‘FIREHAZARD’ Marshal's Order Will Force County Officials to Act for Relief. PROMISES ARE DODGED ‘Welshing’ on Pledges to Afford Prompt Aid for Aged.BY EDWARD C. FULKE Condemnation papers ordering abandonment of the ramshackle men’s building at the Marion comity infirmary were being drawn up by the state fire marshal today as county officials, confronted with the necessity of remedying conditions, inspected the matter through political glasses. Fire Marshal Alfred E. Hogston’s order, expected to be completed Thursday, will compel county officials to act for the relief of 370 men packed and jammed into a firetrap structure with a capacity of not more than two hundred. Backtracking on a public statement made Tuesday that the county council would be called upon to issue about $195,000 bonds to give inmates new and decent living quarters, County Auditor Harry, Dunn told The Times today that "matters are all gummed up,” and indicated the emergency meeting may not be called. Shearer Remains “Mum” Investigation of condition at the institution by Times reporters Monday bared facts that about 370 male inmates are living in conditions scarcely fit for animals. Today John E. Shearer, president of commissioners, and henchmen in Coffin politics, remained “mum,” promising no relief. Although Harry M. Styner, deputy fire marshal, recommended “forthwith abandonment” of the men’s building after an inspection Tuesday, Hogston said today he would order the abandonment in sixty or possibly 120 days. Only the lack of legal description of the property deferred immediate issuance of the order, he said.

“I’ll Allow 60 Days’’ “Although my deputy describes the building as ‘uninhabitable,’ the inmates can not be removed without some provision being made for them,” Hogston said. “For that reason I’ll allow at least sixty days for their removal. “One hundred and twenty days may be needed, but it would be better to construct temporary dormitories for the men than to leave them crowded together in the firetrap all winter, awaiting a permanent new building.” The fire marshal’s order will be served personally on all county commissioners and county councilmen, Hogston declared. With matters at such a state that private businesses are offering aid, Byron Carter, in charge of the poor farm, told The Times condemnation will cripple the county’s poor facilities to an alarming extent. “Charity” Is Accepted Carter told The Times twelve beds have been accepted as “charity” from the White Furniture Company. Inmates have been sleeping on straw “ticks” in hallways most of the summer, The Times survey disclosed. Dunn today inferred “politics” in Republican ranks brought the poor farm problem to a standstill. Asked if his pledge of Tuesday to call a council meeting still is “good,” he said he'd probably be able to answer the question “next whiter.” Dunn is not a candidate for reelection, and his term of office expires in another year. Commissioners, his political constituents, are up for re-election with the exception of George Snider, who heartily boosts an improvement program at the poor farm. Dire condition of inmates as revealed by The Times has been seized upon by the Democratic county committee as "political ammunition.” It is said Dunn and commissioners intend to “close up” because the poor farm question may become an important issue in the November election.

The lane of maples at the Marion county poor farm from which they don’t always come back

BY ARCH STEINEL THERE’S a lane of maple trees in Marion county that men, old men with baggy trousers, hitched up with matches or nails, wander down and don’t come back—sometimes. It’s a beauty spot in the Hoosier fall It meanders its dusty way past the front door of the Marion county poor farm. The maples quit abruptly. The lane climbs a hillock on to the Big Four railroad tracks and loafs on westward to shady trees, places to 1011. Uncle Tom Jones, inmate of the poor farm, went west on that lane Tuesday. He went like many of the baggy-trousered ones do at the v farm, to find a spot on the other side of the tracks where he could sit and think, alone.

LYNCH NEGRO POLICE KILLER 100 Masked Men Storm Georgia Jail. Bi.’ United Prexs CARTERSVILLE. Ga.. Oct. I. John Willie Clark. Negro, confessed slayer of Joe Ben Jenkins, police chief, was lynched today by a mob that stormed Bartow county jail. Approximately one hundred men, all wearing masks, descended upon the jail, seized Clark, took him to a telephone pole less than a mile from the jail and hanged him. “They were orderly and quiet, but descended upon us with the swiftness of a cyclone,” Sheriff G. W. Gaddis said. “They were in the jail before I was awake, overpowered the turnkey, got their man and were off.” The Negro, who had been confined to Fulton county tower in Atlanta for safe keeping, was brought here for trial Tuesday, but because of previous threats of mob violence his attorneys applied for a change of venue, holding up the trial. The delay provided the mob its opportunity. Chief Jenkins was wounded mortally in a scuffle with Clafk for possession of the chief’s pistol when Jenkins attempted to arrest the Negro for making a disturbance on the night of Sept. 5. Clark escaped, but was captured Sept. 14. Threats of violence led to his transfer to Atlanta.

GAS TAX FEES DROP State Reports Decrease of $99,923 for Month.

Fishback, state gasoline tax collector, disclosed. The report, it was pointed out, proved the wisdom of State Auditor Archie Bobbitt and Mrs. Grace Banta Reynolds, state treasurer, in opposing Governor Harry G. Leslie’s finance board advocacy of making further loans to the state highway department, based on anticipated gasoline revenues.

Uncle Tom didn’t come back. He’s the fifth in the last five years that’s left a bed vacant. a a a A BIG FOUR passenger train killed Uncle Tom as the four others have been killed. The engineer said the old man tried to beat the train as he walked up the lane's divide and back to the overcrowded poor farm. But his buddies in poverty think different. They feel that Uncle Tom walked w#st across the tracks and that he sat in a shady nook and thought it all out thus: “I’m 66. Life’s over for me. 'No one wants me. I’ve got nothing to look forward to but a straw pallet. They need the room for others like me.. I’ve been here off and on since 1924. It’s no use going on. It’s due at 3:05.” And his buddies visualize him trudging back toward the poor farm. A train thunders down the track. It’s 3:05 p. m. The train fascinates him in the glistening sun. Why! Didn’t “Brownie” go a year or two ago like that? Didn’t he wave bood-by to the engineer as he plunged under the grinding trucks? J a a a AND the train glistens so in the sun, while ahead are the maple trees, a firetrap of a home, a straw pallet on a floor, no friends except the friendless like himself. Sirens screech down the maple lane. An ambulance hits a chicken. A young man runs to pick it up. He’s going to wring it’s neck. A buddy of Uncle Tom’s picks the chicken up and shoves the younger man out of the way. “Get the hell out of my way. There’s been enough done this afternoon, ’ and he w 7 alks away defiant, with the injured chicken under lis arm. “There goes Uncle Tom,” exclaims a baggy-trousered pal as the hearse kicks up a dusty trial toward the city. Old men hanging on the lane's fence, trousers hanging on, too, file one by one into the antiquated brick building with its tinder floors. They sleep head to head, feet to feet, bed to bed, mattress to mattress. While the lane, from which they don’t always come back, stills, except in dreams. It stills until another day, another “Uncle Tom” w r alks west upon it. YOUTH FLIES TO TEXAS Buck Heads for Amarillo in CrossCountry Journey. WICHITA, Kan., Oct.

33,000 FANS IN STANDS AS RIVALS MATCH PROWESS IN ANNUAL BASEBALL CLASSIC Cardinals • • 002 Athletics • 01 BY FRANK GETTY United Press Snorts Editor SHI.BE PARK, PHILADELPHIA. Oct. L—Dashing challengers in field gray, brisk moving defenders in white, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Athletics went into action in the opening game of the 1930 world series today before 33,000 fans, including President Hoover and celebrities from far and near. A brisk breeze from the northeast swept across the velvet green of Shibe park and fleecy white clouds moved majestically across the blue sky of an otherwise perfect baseball day. Robert Moses (Lefty) Grove, southpaw ace, was Connie Mack’s choice to open the series for the Athletics. Burleigh Grimes, veteran spitball pitcher and righthander, drew the pitching assignment for the Cardinals.

With Grove on the mound, the Cards made one shift in their lineup, sending - Ray Blades to right field in place of George Watkins. Girmes was the center of interest when the grey-clad Missourians took the field for practice. Grimes took his turn in the batting practice and announced himself ready to hurl the game of his life. If ever a pitcher went into a world series game confident of success, it was the veteran spitball artist. Cardinals’ Cripples Act The Cardinals’ cripples. Frankie Frisch and Ray Blades, moved spiritedly through practice, showing no sign of the trouble which threatened to keep them from the lineup. Frisch, key man of the Red Bird defense, did not appear to be troubled by the lumbago which kept him in bed Tuesday. Blades' ankle was taped heavily. As for the defending champions, they were one and all in the best of shape for the contest. In addition to Grove, Earnshaw and Shores took their turn at bat during the A’s practice. A1 Simmons, who is by way of being the spdhr-head of the Athletics’ attack, delighted the home fans by poling two balls into the lower left field bleachers. Hoover and Party Arrive President Hoover and his party, including five cabinet officers, arrived at ten minutes past 1. The crowd stood and applauded. A cordon of police in blue uniforms and bright white caps was drawn up before the presidential box. Babe Ruth, wearing a brown suit and a long tan overcoat, posed for pictures in front of the Athletics’ dugout. The pictures over, the Babe drew a long black cigar from his pocket, lit it and became the center of an admiring group, while all eyes in the stands seemed to be npgm him. Kid Gleason of the Athletics came up. Babe gathered him up in a big embrace. While the teams waited for the attendants to drag the diamond and put fresh lime around the batters box and along the base lines, Al Schacht and Nick Altrock entertained the crowd with anew act in which Altrock took the part of a Buddha priest and Schacht the part of a snake dancer. The antics of this pair had the crowd in an uproar.

Gabby Street Is Called The crowd was still arriving when j the umpires gathered at home plate for a final consultation with the managers. Eddie Collins, Connie Mack’s first j lieutenant, brought out the A’s i batting order. The umpires had to j wait for Gabby Stret to be called j back on the field from the player’s j dressing room. The umpires and managers discussed the ground rules particularly those hits which bounced off the stands. It was ruled that a ball striking fair and bounding into the stands on fair ground would be a home run. If a ball hits the amplifiers into right field and bounces back into the field of play the runner > will get as many bases as he makes, j Twice during the regular playing j season, Babe Ruth was robbed of home runs when he drove balls against the amplifiers. Grimes Almost Bald Grimes continued to warm up after Grove had prepared himself | to take the box. The national j anthem was played and the players, umpires and crowd stood with bared head. Burleigh Grimes revealed he was, almost bald when he took off his hat. The Athletics took the field as the crowd let out a defeaning roar.; President Hoover tossed out the first ball, rolling it out to the pitcher's box from his position in a box behind the Athletics’ dugout.* Grove warmed up with a few quick pitches to Cochran anr’ Umpire Mo- i riarty brushed . off the plate and \ called play ball at 1:33 p. m.
