GIANT HOTEL COMPANY MAY BUILDjN CITY Corporation Admits Studying Sites in Indianpolis. MOVE IS NOT DEFINITE Chain Chief to Include Indiana Capital in His Tour. BY JAMES L. lIOLTOX /!CJ| Instate Editor. Nw York Telrjrr.im NEW YORK, Oct. 22.--The Bow-man-Biltmore Hotels Coproration admittedly is considering Indianapolis as the site for anew hotel in its extensive chain, but has made no definite plans to locate there. To reports emnating from Indianapolis that large hotel interests in New York are seeking location in the Hoosier capital, Russell H. Armstrong, vice-president of the Bow-man-Biltmore Corporation, said here today that his company “is interested in Indianapolis, but beyond that has no concrete proposition in mind. “In the past two months real estate interests in many cities have offered to us a number of sites and these are being considered,” Armstrong said. “As for Indianapolis, I frankly can state that the corporation has made no definite plans. However, it is true we have considered Indianapolis for the Bowman-Baltimorc system. All that we have done is a little shopping around, listening to propositions put before us by real estate interests in several cities,” he added. Armstrong declared he is planning a trip through the southwest to look over several hotel sites. He will make this inspection visit within the next two to four weeks, and expects to make Indianapolis a part of his itinerary. “I no doubt will be able to give you more definite details concerning our plans for the next year in new units to the Bowman-Biltmore group when I return from this trip,” the hotel executive promised. Rumors Are Denied Rumors pointing to the triangular tract between Illinois street and Kentucky avenue St Washington street as the site sought by eastern hotel interests for a giant new hostelry here today brought denials from the property’s owners that any negotiations are under way for sale of the tract. Conrad and Mary S. Jennings of the Jennings Brothers Realty Company. 28 South Illinois street, are owners of the site which has a frontage of 189 feet on Illinois street and 340 feet on Kentucky avenue. They declared hotel interests have made no recent advances toward purchase of the property, now occupied by old one and two-story structures.

Uncle Sam's F-air Aid

Lucky Robbery Shamed Amateur Bandit Is Aided by Victim of Holdup.

Bit United Press C CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—1 t was J nearing midnight as A. C. Mayerle approached his home, walking and alone. The street was dimly lighted. It was cold. He complied quickly when a man stepped into his path, pointa gun at him and ordered him to put up his hands. The robber's hands trembled as he reached into Maye.'le’s coat pocket and withdrew a wallet. Mayerle spoke to him. “There’s $35 in the wallet,” he said. “It’s my week’s pay. If you take it all it’s going to be pretty hard on the wife and kids. Could you let me have part of it back?” The bandit’s hand trembled more violently. “This—this is all new to me,” he stammered. “I’ve got a wife, too. She's sick. There's four kids and I can't find a job. We’ve got no coal and no groceries. I’ve simply got to have part of this money. I’ll take $lO and give you back the rest.” “Maybe,” Mayerle told the bandit, as he returned the $25 to his pocket; “‘if you’ll put that gun away we can talk a little. I’ve still got a job, and maybe I can help you out.” The man, still trembling and thoroughly ashamed, gave his name and address and agreed to meet Mayerle the next day. They met as agreed. Having investigated and learned the truth of the amateur holdup man's story, Mayerle then told the truth himself—that he is a wealthy manufacturing jeweler. Mayerle had the man's sick wife taken to a hospital, bought food and coal for the family and raised a fund among his friends to aid them further. Today he was looking for a permanent job for the man.

LESLIE PROBING MINE WARFARE Secret Agent Investigating Sullivan Reports. Governor Harry G. Leslie's office today sent an undercover man into Sullivan county to investigate the alleged mine warfare there and report back to the chief executive. This action was decided upon following a conference Tuesday afternoon between L. O. Chasey, secretary to Leslie, and a delegation of nonunion miners from Sullivan county. They were accompanied to the statehouse by Roy Price, president of the Hoosier Coal Sales Company here, agen for the nonunion mined coal. The miners told Chasey they were being coerced into quitting work by union miners who surrounded the shafts in mobs. They also alleged threats had been made against them. Deputy Sheriff H. H. Harvey of Sullivan county told The Times Monday that danger of mob violence at the mines was “all bunk” and that members of the United Mine Workers of America merely were engaged in “peaceful picketing.” Chasey said today that the militia could not be called out unless there was some overt act and he was not expecting any to occur.

Camera Never Lies, But Picture Can Start Wars Bu United Press Evanston, lit., oct. 22. — Thomas Turpin had some pictures taken of himself just to keep on the piano or leave to his relatives in case of an untimely death. “Why, you, you,’ Turpin stammered to Bernard J. Bemie, photographer, when he returned to the studio several days later. “Do you mean to insinuate those ugly pictures you sent me look anything like my face?” “The camera.” Photographer Bernie quoted firmly, “never lies. Pay me my S6O fee.” Turpin went away, but he returned nightly, the photographer reported in court, to ring Bernie’s doorbell and berate him in a loud voice, so the neighbors could hear. Magistrate Harry Porter listened sympathetically. “But look at these pictures, your honor,” Turpin shouted in selfdefense. The judge looked, blanched and handed the prints to Bernie without a word. “Oh! It's all a terrible mistake!” The photographer cried. “These pictures were taken of Bull Montana; the movie ugly man. They must have been sent to Mr. Turpin by mistake.”

60,000 WIPED OUT BY REDS IN MASSACRE Chinese Raiders Reported to Have Stacked Bodies in Huge Piles. ROVING HORDES BANDED Communist Forces Launch Bitter Attack in Kianzsi Province. Bu United Press SHANGHAI, Oct. 22.—Reports received from apparently reliable sources here today estimated 60,000 persons were massacred when the fourth and fifth Red armies captured Kiang, Kiangsi province, on Oct. 6. The reports said the Kan-Kiang river was red with the blood of the victims. Corpses, it was said, were stacked in huge piles. The attack occurred in the province where bandits and communists recently have been making exorbitant demands for the release of foreigners captured by them. The latest demand, and the highest received so far, is for $10,000,000. Missionary officers were advised today that such a sum would be necessary for the release of six nuns and four priests kidnaped in the provinces of Kiangsi and Kianfu. American Held for $300,000 An American, Bert Nelson of Minneapolis, is another being held for a ransom—s3oo,ooo in this case. A rescue expedition of Nationalist troops was reported nearing headquarters of the Communist bandits holding Nelson today. He is a member of the United Lutheran mission. Roving armies of Chinese Communists and bandits .have become, in recent weeks, a major problem threatening to overshadow the civil w r arfare from which the country has suffered for many years. They have changed from looselinked hordes of raiding parties to an apparently organized force numbering at least 10,000 men. Red Propaganda Is Found The main force of the army appears to have been employed in the recent capture and looting of Changsha, provincipal capital of hunan province. General Peng Teh-Hui is leader of the so-called Fifth Red army which figured in that affair. Joined with his name is that of Huang Kung-Lueh. Peng and Huang have signed Communistic propaganda handbills found at Yochow and elsewhere. The army is well organized and equipped with up-to-date arms. That actual Communism and not mere banditry is a part of the new army’s scheme seems borne out by reports that there have been wholesale confiscations of private properties in areas inundated by the latest red wave, together with persecution of landlords, shop proprietors and others classed as “capitalists.”

Squads Work in Relays to Free Men Entombed by German Disaster. Bit United Press AACHEN, Germany, Oct. 22. Hope of rescuing coal miners trapped in the darkness of the lower depth of the Wilhelm pit, where 231 persons were killed, was revived today when unmistakable signals from the entombed men again were heard by rescuers. The miners, believed to number about fifty-three, but possibly including a score of others still alive, have been entombed for a day and a half about 1,300 feet below the surface. While rescue squads recruited from neighboring mines, working in relays, slowly penetrated to the region in which the men were trapped, removal of bodies continued. The exact cause of the disaster still remained uncertain, the theory that a store of dynamite exploded having been eliminated by the finding of the cache undamaged. N

Labor Secretary Advises Quiz Board to Determine Machines ’ Effect in Creating Job Crisis

Davis’ Suggestion May Be Taken Up by Hoover Inquiry Group. BY LYLE C. WILSON L'nited Press Staff Corresoondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—Tire need for a thorough inquiry into effects of time-saving industrial machines upon unemployment was emphasized today by James J. Davis, secretary of labor, at the opening sessions of the advisory committee on employment statistics. Davis described the march of the machines at a meeting attended by labor leaders, economists and manufacturers, who assembled with the secretary in accordance with President Hoover’s call of Aug. 12. The committee will advise the labor department’s statistical bureau on ways of adding to the government’s knowledge of unemployment. At the same time “General” Jacob S. Coxey, who in 1894 led a march of the unemployed on Washington, called upon Secretary of Commerce Lamont, chairman of the President’s cabinet unemployment council, with a proposal of an eighteen-month moratorium and payment of SIOO a month to all unemployed adults as a measure of relief. Coxey Flays Wall Street His crusading fire undimmed, Coxey emerged with word that Lamont had countered his proposals by stating they would be in violation of the administration’s policies. Coxey denounced the Wall Street banks, which he said had drained the country of its credit resources. He said bank credit had collapsed and that his moratorium proposal was to relieve installment buyers and prevent foreclosure of mortgages. Meanwhile, work of setting up administration machinery to deal with unemployment awaited the arrival of Colonel Arthur Woods, former New York police commissioner, who was selected for this task by Mr. Hoover. Woods is expeted to arrive here later in the day. Davis Interested in Machines Davis, in addressing his committee, asserted he was interested particularly in prospective surveys which would show the extent to which machines were displacing manual labor. The tracklayer and railroad section hand are being replaced by mechanical devices that do their work much quicker, and the longshoremen, steel-puddler, glass-blow-er and scores of other skilled workers are being replaced by machines, he pointed out. “Just how far are these changes responsible for our present unemployment,” he asked, “can this question be answered and, if so, how are we to answer it?'* Edge Returns to Cast Vote 81l l nitcd Press NEW YORK Oct. 22.—Walter E.

Then followed the tale of her lave for the youth named “Carol.” In the middle of the second page was a short paragraph: “There are only eight cigarets now.” The story of the romance—its quarrels, joys and sorrows—went on, with several later references to the cigarets. Each time there were less. Finally, at the end of the sixth page, was written, “I’m smoking my last one now.” The house in which the girl took her life is next door to the “Little Green House or. K Street,” which attained notoriety during the Teapot Dome revelations.

Taffy Daffy Cop Nearly Driven Mad by Woman Who Fails to Talk.

Bn United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—Mrs. John A. McPherson drove her automobile into Fountain square in Evanston, steered it along side of a parked machine, and stopped. “Don’t you know it's against the law to park double?” policeman Henry Miller asked her politely.
