FATHER KILLS GIRL SHOOTS SELF

Distraught because she wrote a $l5O worthless check to buy clothes, Richard Guiry, 61, of 4916 Caroline street, this morning murdered his daughter Isabelle Fern Guiry, 22, in front of their home, and then fired four shots into his own body.

LANDSLIDE IS FORECAST FOR DEMOCRATS County to Smash Coffinism Tuesday, Straw Votes Indicate. G. 0. P. CHIEFS IN PANIC Efforts Concentrated on “Big Five’: Rest of Ticket 'Ditched.’ BY BEN STERN Overwhelming victory for the I>emocratic ticket is presaged today in the returns from straw votes taken in eight sections of the city in the last three days. Three Democratic candidates who appear far in the lead on these returns are Louis Ludlow, candidate for .re-election for representative in congress; Herbert Wilson, candidate for prosecutor, and Charles Sumner, candidate for sheriff. Os the 110 who declared themselves Republican, forty scratched for Ludlow; 12 for Sumner, and 10 for Wilson. One voter scratched the Republican state ticket and Judson Stark. Only One Scratch Three hundred forty declared themselves Democratic, with but. one scratch, and that for Walter O. Pritchard, Coffin candidate for criminal court judge. The polls were taken at Illinois and Washington streets, Fountain Square, Board of Trade building Century building, Indiana avenue, Massachusetts avenue and St. Clair street, and Forty-second street and College avenue. Results of the poll are believed by Democratic leaders to indicate accurately the trend in the closing days of the campaign. Similar results and impressions are thought to have been received by Coffin leaders, who have reverted to their old stand-by appeals, religious and racial prejudices, it was declared today. Thousands of circulars purporting to give information concerning the religious leanings of Democratic candidates in comparison with those of the Republicans already have been widely circulated, and thousands of others attempting to incite to religious and racial intolerance are being prepared for circulation the night before the election. Seen as Weakness Evidence < Democratic leaders hailed this attempt to instill religion in the campaign as a definite admission of weakness by the Republicans. It was recalled that in the closing days of the 1928 campaign the Coffin forces, feeling they were losing ground, made the same appeal in a vain attempt to re-elect Ralph Updike to congress. The situation is paralleled today, with the campaign approaching its closing hours and discord, factional quarrels, and a wholesale feeling of pessimism pervading Republican headquarters. The most noticeable feature of this year's campaign is the absence of Republican candidates from county headquarters. So apparent Is this that G. O. P. party workers are discussing it themselves. Shift for Selves The only explanation offered is that many of the candidates feel they can not trust the county organization to exert much effort in their behalf and so are conducting what amounts to independent campaigns. Recriminations for the 'apparent desertion of the remainder of the ticket by the organization to exert all efforts in behalf of the “big five'’ are being heard everywhere. Republican candidates for judicial and minor county posts are frankly despondent and one manager of a candidate for township trustee today declared that “it is all over and the Democrats are in.” Facionalism is bitter —candidate; against candidate. Kill Own Cause On the eve of the election it appears highly probable Coffinism will go down to a defeat brought about by the very thing of its own creation —factionalism and double-crossing. Preparations for the election Tuesday were being completed by both parties today. An army of approximately 1.000 inspectors, judges and clerks will be sworn in Sunday afternoon for their duties, in three county courtrooms. They will be instructed by George Denny, election commission chairman; Harry Toner, commissioner, and George O. Hutsell, county clerk.

Notre Dame Football Army Ready for Clash With Page’s Hoosiers. Although the national collegiate football schedule today lacks the numerous colorful tilts of recent week-ends, Hoosier fans have their choice of at least four contests that promise action aplenty. Pat Page’s I. U. warriors, still seeking their first major victory of the season, invade South Bend to battle Notre Dame's unbeaten champions, and although the Crimson eleven is given only an outside chance for victory, the intense rivalry insures a good battle. A rivalry as keen as any in the midwest flares up again at Crawfordsville, where Wabash will attempt to get back in the win column against Harry Bell’s Butler Bull-, degs. The Scarlet eleven has beaten the Blue but once since 1920, in 1926. Vaughan’s crew is the under dog again today, but the veteran mentor has his squad keyed for an upset win. It will be home-coming day for the Little Giants. De Pauw Opposes Baptists Purdue's Big Ten champions will meet another serious threat at Champaign, -where they tackle Bob Zuppke's fighting Illini. The Boilermakers, by virtue of their experience and early season record, are the favorites, but a close battle looms. After two weeks of idleness, De Pauw will swing into action again, meeting a much-improved Franklin eleven in the Old Gold day feature at Greencastle. Two undefeated leaders in the Western Conference title chase clash in the Big Ten feature at Minneapolis, where Northwestern’s highly touted Wildcats meet Minnesota. The Purple machine, with Hank Bruder back in the line-up for the first time since the season’s opener, is the expert’s choice, but may find some trouble with the Gophers’ stubborn defense. Ohio State's young team will test Wisconsin's powerful crew at Columbus, and. although a second choice with the dopester’s, has a strong chance to tip the bucket. Ball State Is Undefeated Another secondary tilt of unusual interest to Hoosier followers is the battle between Ball State and Manchester. Ball State is undefeated, while the Chesters lost one earlyseason contest and have improved considerably since then. In other state tilts, Indiana Central meets Earlham, State Normal opposes Eastern Illinois Normal, Oakland City tackles Rose Poly and Valparaiso plays Concordia at Ft. Wayne. In two tilts of national importance. Dartmouth's unbeaten Indians match ability with Albie Booth and his Yale buddies, and Alabama, unbeaten, meets Kentucky. its undefeated southern rival.

Rickenbacker, Ace of Aces, Will Tell War Story in The Times

APT AIN EDDIE RICKENBACKER and his famous "Hat-in-the-Ring - ’ squadron were to America what Baron von Richthofen and his celebrated "Flying Circus" were to Germany. Twelve years ago the daring deeds of this greatest of America’s war aces, now president of the Indianapolis Speedway, thrilled the world. A celebrated auto racer, he went to France as General Pershing's chauffeur. He begged and inveigled his way into the air service. He learned to fly a plane in three weeks—and then began one of the most colorful careers in America’s military history. Ace of aces, he shot down twenty-six enemy aircraft from April to October, 1918. He participated in some of the most thrilling air battles when the sky was thick with fighting planes. He ground-strafed German troops in their trenches, bier, up ammunition depots far behind the lines, "busted'' German observation balloons by diving straight at them, shooting a stream of flaming iracer bullets as he came, and raised havoc with the enemy in general, gpermans feared him as much as the allies felted Von Richthofen^,

The revolver bullet pierced the girl’s heart. Guiry fired two bullets into his head and two into his chest. He staggered to the ground and was dying as a police emergency squad under Sergeant Clifford Richter roared up to the curb.

FLAMES PERIL MOVIE STARS’ REACH HOMES Raging Brush Fire Sweeps Along Sea Coast to Rich Colony. Bu United Press % LOS ANGELES, Nov. I.—The Malibu Beach homes of many prominent motion picture actors were threatened today when a brush fire raced uncontrolled along the sea coast in a direct line for the exclusive colony. Only a narrow firebreak, less than a mile from the front of the blaze, remained to protect the millions of dollars’ worth of beach estates. Anew force of 100 men was recruited hastily from downtown JuOS Angeles and sent to line the firebreak in the new emergency. Road Closed to Traffic Even the city of Los Angeles may be endangered if the flames pass the firebreak and reach Malibu, Supervisor John Quinn of Los Angeles county, W’ho worked all night in the front lines, said. The firebreak is in Renera Canyon, about ten miles north of the movie colony. It became the last stand of the 1.000 fire-fighters w’hen the fire turned from an easterly course and started following the coast line to the south. The highway w r as closed to traffic and steps were taken to protect homes immediately in the path of the flames. The firemen lost their first major fight at the Decker Ranch road early today when flames leaped the gap and continued toward the Seminole Hot Springs resort and Malibu lake, a few miles beyond. Ordered to Backfire Fire officials had hoped the road, serving as a break, would curb the fire, but when this failed orders were issued to backfield along the twenty-mile front. The second serious fire in southern California, burning fiercely near the Montebello oil fields in Ventura county, leaped the Grimes Canyon road and blew toward Oak Ridge oil fields, four miles distant. The Montebello field, surrounded on three sides, was saved from serious damage when the blaze swept away toward Oak Ridge. CUBANS AT POLLS Country Is Calm as First Votes Are Cast. Bn United Press HAVANA, Nov. I.—Elections were held in Cuba today for twenty-four senators and fifty-eight members of the House of Representatives. The country was calm as the first voters reached the polls. The objection of Nationalists to holding the election, and the powers given President Gerardo Machado to suspend constitutional guarantees if he deemed such action necessary, created an unusual interest in the voting. In the Air Weather conditions in the air at 9 a. m.: Southwest wind, 6 miles an hour; barometric pressure. 30.65 at sea level; temperature, 37; ceiling unlimited; visibility, 5 miles; field, good.

npHROUGH it all, he seemed to bear a charmed life. Time and again -*■ he gave his tiny plane the gun and sailed straight at the gates of death—but never once In all his fighting career did Captain Rickenbacker permit an enemy pilot to wound or injure him. High in the heavens, he flirted with death in a hundred battles that saw bullet-riddled, flaming planes on both sides fall shrieking from the skies with a dead man’s hand on the stick—and he came out of the war with only a ruptured eardrum, caused by a sudden descent at 300 miles an hour to get out of a tight place. He distinguished himself not only as America's Ace of Aces, but as a commander as well. His "Hat-in-the-Ring" squadron (so called because its planes bore the insignia of an Uncle Sam hat, encircled by a ring) ended the war with the greatest number of victories won by any American squadron. It was the first to go over the enemy’s lines—it was the first to destroy an enemy machine—it brought down the last German airplane to f%ll in the World f?ar. Veteran of 400 battles in the skies 1

a 0. P. REIGN KILLS HOPE OF INFIRMARY AID Neglect of County’s Poor Is Laid at Door of Coffin Clique. WINTER TO BRING CRISIS Inmates Increase Expected to Add to Suffering at Institution. BY EDWARD C. FULKE Chaotic state of the county’s government under Republican rule was blamed today for the squelching of any possibilities of relief for the indigent poor at the Marion county infirmary. To Coffin’s henchmen, who spend thirty million of dollars of taxpayers’ money annually, the poor farm is just another political plaything—but to more than helpless, aged and infirm this chaos means an end t hope for spending their declining years in decent surroundings. Buffeted between warring factions of Coffin’s puppets for eight months, the infirmary remains today what is has been for fourteen years—“a politically managed institution.” Ordinance Eliminated “They can sleep in tents for all I care,” an assertion of George Snider, Republican county commissioner, stands as the motto of the present county administration. A county council, long subjected to policies of Boss Coffin, “yessed” Snider less than a month ago and eliminated abruptly an ordinance calling for $200,000 relief funds. The verdict of twenty-eight grand juries, consecutively branding tire poor farm a “public disgrace,” marks the past on which two members of the board of county commissioners ask to be re-elected. Inmates List Grows Avowed instruments of the dominant clique, these candidates are John E. Shearer and Charles O. Sutton, the former a one-time night squad road patroller—the latter, a life-long township politician. Exposed by The Times several weeks ago to be in a deplorable condition, the poor farm this winter faces a crisis. Every day the list of inmates swells. In quax-ters large enough to hold only 250 persons, the Republican i-.dministration has herded 525 helple>s, crippled, sick and unfortunate poor. Slept on Straw Pallets Five weeks ago a score of male inmates slept on straw pallets on the floors of dark, ill-ventilated hallways. Today those hallways have been put to heavier service, and thirty-five more male inmates have been jammed into other corners. The Republican administration, including Shearer and Sutton, who this spring rushed through an SBOO,OOO road program with their re-election in view, has replaced those pallets with metal cots. “I can’t see how we’ll accommodate any more, but I guess we’ll have to,” Byron Carter, assistant superintendent stated. “We’ve jammed them in wherever we can, and all I can do is keep them warm and fed,” he said. Carter estimated 700 inmates may be living in these quarters before another month. New Cookers Installed It was learned today, Shearer and Sutton quietly have attempted to make several reforms at the institution, following up The Time’s disclosures that the monotonous round of food handed the poor is causing an illness which attendants “can not explain.” Three new steam cookers are being installed, one for preparing “side dishes,” something hitherto unknown at the institution. Two other cookers far preparing of vegetables and meat, bringing the total to five, have been installed Two more attendants have been hired, one as a laundryman and another as “night attendant,” it w T as learned. No others improvements are in sight, Carter admitted. Hourly Temperatures 6 a. m 30 8 a. m 33 7 a. m 30 9 a. m 37

SAFETY OF METROPOLIS AT STAKE IN FIGHT TO TAME WILD OIL GUSHER One-Eighth of Oklahoma City Is Declared Fire Hazard as Well Continues to Spray Inflammable Rain Over Region. TROOPS ARE GUARDING DANGER DISTRICT £ Business Houses and State Capitol Building Are Coated With Petroleum; Battle to Be Waged Night and Day. BY GEORGE B. ROSCOE United Press Staff Correspondent OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 1. —Safety of a metropolis was at stake today as a spectacular fight was waged in the Oklahoma City oil field between man and one of the natural resources that yields him riches. An eighth of the city’s entire area was declared a fire hazard as the wild Morgan company gusher at the city’s limits roared on in its unrestrained flow. Preparations were made for a long seige believed necessary before the gusher could be brought under control and its product marketed. More than five hundred men, including 200 national guards, patrolled the district to enforce stringent fire precaution measures. Everything was in readiness to cap the gusher which blasted its ponderous connections Friday and sprayed the city and surrounding oil fields with crude petroleum and highly inflammable gas. Military, state and oil field officials, however, believed they faced a prolonged struggle.

How the Market Opened

Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. I.—Uniied States Steel and Radio Corporation advanced fractionally on the stock exchange today, while the majority of other issues sagged off. Trading was fairly active. Steel opened at 144(4 and then advanced to 144%. Radio opened 5,000 shares at 19, up (4, and held around that level. Western Union opened at 136, off 1* Montgomery Ward 19, off %; Chrysler, 1%. off %, equaling its low; Bethlehem Steel 69, off %; Vanadium 47%, off Gold Dust 33 off %; Case 109%, off 1; RadioKeith 21%, off %, and International Telephone 28%, off %. During the early trading Steel forged ahead fractionally, and other industrial leaders steadied around the opening levels. General Motors held unchanged following publication of its report for the third quarter showing of 53 cents a share on the 43,500,000 common shares, outstanding. This compared with dividend requirement of 75 cents a Baltimore & Ohio w’as a feature of the rails, rising 1%, to 81%. Oils were easier as were coppers. Utilities were mixed. Eastman Kodak continued its decline, selling down to 169%, off 2%. GIRL KILLED BY GAR Unidentified Victim Blinded by Halloween Mask. Partially blinded by a Halloween mask, an unidentified Negro girl ran in front of an auto at Indiana avenue and North street Friday night and was injured fatally. Hershall Kirk, 23, Negro, 520 West Sixteenth street, driver, was held on an assault and battery charge. Police sent the girl to city hospital where she died with a skull fracture, crushed chest and leg fracture. William Snapp, 61, patient in Thomas Sines sanitarium, 1427 North Delaware street,- died in city hospital Friday night of bums suffered when he dropped a lighted match that ignited his dressing gown. Lighting his pipe Mr. Snapp let the match fall. He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Charles McClenon, 5710 North Pennsylvania street.

HIS buddies, his companions in his frequent trysts with death, included such heroic figures as Frank Luke, the “balloon buster"; Captain James Norman Hall, who was shot down behind the lines; Major Raoul Lufbery, whose sudden death put an end to his career as America's leading ace; Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, noble son of a great father, who died a hero’s death when one of Baron von Richthofen's red-nosed Fokkers “got on his tail.” Such were the men—almost boys, then—whose deeds thrilled the world twelve years ago.' Towering above them as their squadron commander, and their greatest individual hero as well, was the ever-smiling, boyish Eddie Rickenbacker. His crowning act in his blood-red drama of thrills was his singlehanded attack on a fleet of seven enemy planes in which he shot down two of them and stampeded the rest. For this feat—regarded as the most daring in the history of American military aviation—President Hoover is personally to decorate Rickenbacker with his belated reward of the Congressional Medal of Honor next Thursday, Nov. 6. Behind this award lies a nerve-tingling story of adventure, which wm be told in The Indianapolis Times, starting Thursday. 4

Two triple searchlights, each of 350-watt power, were ready to erect on tall beams south of the well. With these casting a light on seventy-five square yards about the well, crews planned to continue their struggle night and day. A heavy device, resembling a Christmas tree in shape and known by that name, was rolled to the location at daybreak today. A crew of fifty men, clothed in slickers and trench helmets to protect them from the hail of rocks which increased the danger of fire from friction, began the day’s work. The wind became stronger today, carrying the golden mist farther into the heart of the residential district.

Clouds of oil were wafted toward the business district. Every automobile that ventured within a mile of the raging gusher became thinly coated with the inflammable fluid. All night the well roared with undiniinished intensity, throwing its oil column, estimated from 25,000 to 100,000 barrels daily and a gas volume of 65.000,000 cubic feet over the city. An era of two square miles were sprayed, including the state capitol building and the main business and residential sections. Workmen refrained from running electric lines to the field last night for fear of a short circuit igniting gas pockets that clung to the ground. Threatens to Destroy City Persons living near the well sought shelter provided by the Red Cross What few remained spent the chilly night without heat as all fires were ordered extinguished. Officials said today that oil, which they had nutured, had become a frankenstein that threatened to destroy their city J. Berry King, attorney-general, expected today to hand an opinion to C. R. O’Neal, tsate fire marshal, on the legality of declaring an oil well a fire hazard and thereby condemning it the same as an unsafe building. If such procedure can be taken, many large gushers at the city limits may be condemmed, O’Neal said. State officials exonerated the company of blame. They reported all required precautions had been taken. Toops Patrol District Troops today patroled an area of fifty square blocks, stopping all smokers, diverting automobile traffic and warning citizens not to light fires in their stoves. The well blew in Thursday night with an explosion of sand which cut

Apprehension became greater when the well started to coughing up stones which rattled like hail against surrounding wholesale houses and factories.
