WILSON SLATED TO ‘INHERIT’ 24 MAJOR CASES New Prosecutor to Serve in Trial of Schroeder, Alleged Slayer. When Herbert Wilson. Democratic county prosecutor-elect, takes office Jan. 1. he will “inherit - ’ twen-ty-four Important criminal cases which Judson L. Stark. Republican incumbent, failed to try in the last two years. Four of these cases, involving murder charges, have drifted aimlessly along on the monthly criminal court calendar because of legal technicalities, and will be received by Wilson as cases of first importance. Three other cases, all of which have been before the public's eye for as long as four years, will be handed to Wilson for prosecution during his tenure. Probably most important of these “carry-over” cases is that of Harold Herbert Schroeder, Mobile < Ala.) business man held in the county jail since June 20. for the first degree murder of an unknown man. May 31. in the High School road uto-pyrc mystery. Faces Death Penalty Facing the death penalty if convicted, Schroeder will go to trial -ome time this winter with the delense the unknown man died of a broken neck for which Schroeder . ays he is not responsible. Wilson will receive the murder , ase of William C. Hill, former Indianapolis policeman accused of lulling, during a robbery, Charles Zeller, lottery operator. Hill’s case ias been venued to Noblesville, while Ihc defendant awaits trial as prisoner in the Tndiana state rcormatory. Case of Ernest Pryor, Marlinsille, confessed wife-poisoner, held ior murder, probably will shift to Wilson. Poor’s case was venued out of Morgan circuit court to Marion county after the defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge, although he allegedly signed a concssion to the crime.

Got Little Attention Case of William Secrist, alleged sambler, held by Stark to be responsible for the death of Victor Lockwood, following a drunken brawl in Maywood in 1928, will be handed to Wilson for possible grand mry action. Secrist’s case is said to have a political aspect, and has received little attention under Stark. Another widely discussed case, that of Lyle T. Laub, fc*mer president of the defunct Realty Finance and Building Company, Indianapolis, indicted for the alleged emoezzlement of thousands of dollars from private investors, will be placed under Wilson’s prosecution Scharffin Case Pending Echo of the fire and explosion at the Edward Traugott & Cos. clothing store two years ago is the longdelayed case of Paul Scharffin, attorney, charged in an indictment as result of the fire with conspiring to commit a felony and transporting liquor. Efforts of attorneys to quash the case have failed, although Stark never urged immediate trial. Further still, arc the untried cases of three alleged loan sharks arrested under Stark for preying on borrowers by charging 240 per cent interest a year on loans. These men are Amos G. Haines, Jesse A. Haines and Hansford E. Pool. Recent cases relegated by Stark to Wilson's care are those of twelve of the city's most prominent gamblers indicted by the grand jury a week ago as result of a. probe into corrupt conditions in the police department. Tommy Dillcn Named Named in the indictments are Denny Rush. 228 South Illinois street; Emil Rahke. 14 North East street: Tommy Dillon. 742 South Capitol avenue .and nine others. Wilson also will have charge of three important political cases which have been tried and now are on appeal to higher courts. Outstanding in this group is the case of Paul Dunn, ex-county councilman, tried and found not guilty of alleged shady deals in being elected :o the office. Stark sought to reopen the case by a supreme court appeal. Case of Irving Webster, Indianapolis publisher found guilty of blackmail, also has been appealed. Primary election fraud cases, ini luding John L. Bienz, 78-year-old precinct committeeman, and E. W. Hoover, poll inspector, will go to Wilson's care. Hoover has not been tried.

AT EIGHTY, WARDE MAKES A DISCOVERY Great Actor in City for a Lecture Talks of Youth, Drama, Life and the Days Never to Return Again. £Y WALTER D. HICKMAN WITH the evening of his life well advanced, Frederick Warde, an actor for sixty-three years and who will be 80 next February, has made a great discovery. With only kindness in his active eyes, Mr. Warde told me yesterday in an interview at the Claypool that he had made a great discovery. “I have been one of the most fortunate of men,” he said as he spoke cf the “evening of his years.” After speaking ever so tenderly of the more than fifty years that Mrs. Warde remained at his side-before “being called away,” he said, “My name is respected and by Lord Harry, what more would you want?”

Then he told me Ms big discovery with much feeling when he said, | “The three things which make life worth living arc health, love and work and I have had all three. Smoking his pipe with evident j satisfaction and with his tobacco pouch on the table before him, the actor told me that he had been off and on the Claypool site for more than forty-five years. “I can remember back forty-five years ago when the Bates House was here,” he said. “I remember one time about forty years ago. I was playing here State Fair week. “This amusing incident happened one evening in the dining room. A country gentleman and his girl were at one "table. And he was very much country, honest and all of that. “The Bates management, desiring to get more class, had the menu written in French and the Negro waiter beaming with mirth handed the country gentleman the menu. “He blushed and became confused and the scamp actually handed the menu to the girl. The waiter beamed more and more. Fir ’ly the boy said, ‘Damit all, bring u. some food.’ Just An Incident “Isn’t it funny how some of the littlest things of life clings to our memory. I will never forger that incident.” The last time Mr. Ward.e acted in this city was many, many years ago as Nobody in “Everywoman.” A letter from his grandson was before him when I asked him his opinion about youth today. “The youths of today have mare self-reliance and esteem than years ago. I have seven grandchildren and I effti speak as a family man. “Talking of the folly of youth, I ran away from home and went on the stage and it was the darnedest stupidest thing for a boy to do. Fortunately, I was partly successful. “When we look at the younger generation today, we better look back to our own youth.” I told him that all famous men were announcing their ten greatest list. He smiled and told me that would take some thinking. “I have always considered Edwin Booth the greatest actor I have ever been asociated with or seen on the stage. For a practical scientist, I would put Edison in the list. “Bernard Shaw is a question mark. At times he impresses one with his philosophy and then at times you think he is shaking the cap and bells at you. “Roosevelt is a greater man dead than alive,” he said in giving up thinking about the ten best list. Some of Ills Wisdom Some of his punch lines in his interview were: “Youth of today is born to the automobile, not the horse and buggy. I doubt if you could get a lady today in a buggy. “The radio is to my mind the miracle of the age. “The movies is very interesting modern entertainment as long as they are clean and wholesome. “Many pictures are wonderful examples of scientific photography but nothing can take the place of the magnetism of two human beings, I mean the actor and the actress. “The drama is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, form of popular entertainment. It will continue as long as the world will‘last but its nature and its greatness will depend upon the people.” I told him that many critics were contending that Mrs. Fiske was the greatest living actress. He thought seriously for a minute and said, “I would hardly say that.

I have known Mrs. Fiske from her childhood. I have no hesitation in saying that I think the finest actor on the stage today is George Arliss.” We talked of many things for a ! long time. At 80 he smiles, travels j and lectures all over the country I and gives a series of lectures at a I great university each winter. This afternoon, Mr. Warde will | appear before the Woman's Departj ment Club to give a lecture on his ; sixty-three years of being an actor. When he shook hands with me | and gave me a fine smile and a firm handshake, I understood that he was the most fortunate of men because out of life he had found health, love and work. tt n Hans Barth will appear in recital |at Caleb Mills hall tonight.

GEN. DU PONT IS DEAD AFTER LONGJLLNESS Former Head of Famous Powder Firm Served in U. S. Senate, 1 Bu United Press WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 12. | General T. Coleman Du Pont, 66, former United States senator from j Delaware and one of the leading | financiers of the country, died at j his home here Tuesday. He had been ill several years. General Du Pont retired from politfes and active control of the E. I. Du Pont De Nemours Company, of which he was president, some time ago.

Mr. Du Pont was not brought up in luxury. Bidermann Du Pont, his father, sent him to the public schools of Louisville, Ky. Later he went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, where he studied engineering. Starting w T ork as a miner with pick and shovel in Central City, Kan., Mr. Du Pont worked up to become superintendent of the mine. The Johnstown Steel Company then offered him a position of high responsibility. While with that concern, he built street car lines in Johnstown, Pa., and then in New York and New Jersey. After building railroads in Alabama he became president of the powder concern owned by his family, at a time when the business was in a critical condition. As its head he built it up from a small concern to a commanding position. In 1915 he sold out his interests in the powder concern and later bought the Equitable Life Assurance Company. In 1899 he married his cousin, Alice Du Pont, by whom he had five children.
