CLEAR GERMANS OF EXPLOSIONS PRIOR TO WAR Claims Commission Rules Secret Agents Didn't Set Blasts. J?w United Pri •.♦ WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.—After years of investigation and hearings, the mixed claims commission has cleared Germany of responsibility for the Black Tom and Kingsland explosions prior to Americaentrance in the World war. In a decision made public Friday night by the state department it ■was said the commission, composed of two Americans and one German, was unable to prove German agents had destroyed the properties. American interests had asked damages of $40,000,000. The Black Tom explosion occurred at a Lehigh Valley railroad terminal lfi New York harbor, July 29-30, 1916. The Kingsland <N. J.) plant of the agency of Canadian Car and Foundry Company. Ltd., was burned Jan. 1!, 1917. The commission was composed of Roland W. Boyden as umpire and Chandler P. Anderson and Wilhelm Kiesselbach. commissioners. The decision said: ••In the Kingland case we find upon the evidence that the fire was not caused by any German agent. “In the Black Tom case we are not convinced that the fire was not attributable to Hinsch and Knstoff (German agents), though we are convinced that it was not attributable to Witzke or Jahnke (also German agents), but we are quite a long way from being convinced that the fire was caused by any German agent. We therefore decide both cases in favor of Germany." The commission, which began the consideration of some 10.000 American claims against Germany shortly after the war. virtually has completed its work, only three minor cases still remaining.

BY VERN BOXELL GHOSTS of football's dark ages will stalk the chalk-marked field at Lafayette today when Butler and Purdue renew the oldest rivalry in the state and one of the oldest in the midwest, after twenty-eight years of dormancy. It started back in 1387, two years after Butler had introduced the grid sport to Hoosierdom. But the battle the old-timers replay and argue about when they get together to “chew the fat’’ is that historical championship battle of 1890 which marked Butler's last victory over the Boilermakers. . .. That game was packed with as many thrills as any of the modern classics, and was witnessed by more than 15,000 fans (as many as will witness today’s game), who braved chill winds and snow to stand about on the sidelines. , . Even at that early date there were charges of “proselyting when Purdue engaged Clint Hare, Butler coach, who had coached Butler to championships with victories over the Boilermakers in 1887 and 1899. There was no game in 1888 due to the presidential election. W. R. Crawford, a Yale star, was signed to direct the Butlerites.

The rivals were undefeated wnen they trotted on to the old Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. field at Oriental street, Thanksgiving day, 1890, clad in uniforms purchased with their own money. They didn't have athletic departments with overflowing coffers in those days. The uniforms consisted of tight-fitting jackets, pants padded only at the knees and cleated shoes. There wasn t a shin guard, shoulder pad or helmet in the bunch. “That big Purdue team just swept us off our feet in the first half,” a member of the Butler champions said, reviewing the battle. “They had such stars as Stephenson, later an all-American center; Lackey, Speedy Baker, Jack Thompson and a host of others. Two touchdowns and a kick for extra points gave them a 10-to-O edge. Too Tough for Studebaker “In those days, touchdowns counted four points and kicks two apiece, and the kicks were attempted from the point where the ball crossed the goal line. Studebaker, who later became an automobile manufacturer at South Bend, was the Purdue kicker, and he converted on his first attempt. But Purdue's second touchdown was made in a far corner of the field, and Studie’s attempt from the difficult angle missed by inches. "Between halves we stalked about the field to keep warm. We all were pretty well battered and discouraged. Purdue kept up fit powerful attack in the third quarter, and pushed us back to our 10-yard line. Then they attempted a long lateral pass. Forward passes were barred, but backward tosses were legal. It was a daring play in those days. Runs 90 Yards for Touchdown • Out of the steaming mass of players piled up on the line shot Frank Davidson, our 160-pound end. He clutched the ball and ran ninety yards for a touchodwn. The twentyone other players arrrive simultaneously and proceeded to pile up on the exhausted Davidson. Ray Meeker, our full back, kicked the extra point. “Butler than began a march that Purdue could not stop. The flying wedge, with the players formed in a V-shape and the ball carrier in the center, was brought into use with Charlie Baker carrying the ball. He carried the ball, foot by foot, from our goal line to a touchdown. The crowd on the side ’ines was making so much noise we couldn’t hear the signals, so George Collum. cur quarter, would say, ‘Can you carry it once more, Charley?' “After he had made his last plunge across the goal line. Baker was carried from the field more dead than alive. And Ray Meeker added the two extra points needed so a 12-10 victory with a perfect kick. And the Bulldogs Held! ! “But the game wasn’t over yet. Purdue came back, fighting mad, and plowed through our line to the 1-yard stripe, first down and goal to go. In four plays they gained three feet, and we kicked out of danger as the game ended.” Purdue, with one of the outstanding teams in the country, is a topheavy favorite to cop today's decision, extending the list of victories they started in 1891. 1892, 1893 and 1902. But after the game, if you'll listen close enough, you'll probably here some of the Butler boys” recounting that 1890 triumph. Other Hoosier college games today include: Drake vs. Notre Dame at South Bend Manchester vs. De Pauw at Greeccast'e. Franklin vs. Wabash at Crawtordsville. Indiana Central vs. Ball Teachers at Muncie. Bethel <Kv.> vs. Evansville at Evansville.

AL’S SOUP LINE DRAWS THRONGS Capone’s Charity Kitchen Gains ‘Popularity.’ Bu United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 15.—The line of down-and-outers before Scarface A1 Capone's soup kitchen, operated on part of gangdom’s thousands of dollars monthly profits, lengthened today after hundreds of unemployed learned its address through neswpaper advertisements. “Let ’em come,” said one of the six attendants who dish out soup, bread and coffee. “Mr. Capone is glad to take care of them. “Sure, Mr. Capone really does run this place.

REDS CHARGED WITH INCITING HAVANA RIOTS Arms Seizure Lends Weight to Government Theory; Conciliate Students. Bu United Press HAVANA. Nov. 15.—Demands of Cuban students for administration reforms and charges that Communist agitators were responsible for rioting in Havana, in which seven persons were killed, were investigated today by government authorities. The discovery by secret police of twenty-five pistols, 250 revolvers and 150 rifles and much ammunition hidden in the central part of the capital was announced by officials, who said the discovery bore out the government's belief that Communist elements had augmented the students in creating disorder. Police charged the arms were part of a plan to foment an uprising. They started .making arrests in connection with the alleged plot. The arms were found hidden in baskets which police said were covered wit hthe flags of the Republic of Ecuador, a ruse of the plotters. The problem of quieting the student unrest was given close attention by the government of President Gerardo Machado, who named Senator Alberto Barreras as mediator between the university students and the government.

NEW MUNCIE VOTE FRAUDS ARECHARGED •Cheating’ on Wide Scale Is Alleged After Probe by Democrats. PERILS VESTAL VICTORY Burning of Ballots Alleged; Contest Papers Soon to Be Filed. By Times Staff Correspondent MUNCIE, Nov. 15.—An amazing recital of improper balloting in the Nov. 4 election loomed today as the next* sensation in this vote-embat-tled city. On it may hinge the next speakership of the national house, the leadership of many important congressional committees, and all the perquisites. Brimful of charges, countercharges and political dynamite, it grows out of the contest between Albert H. Vestal, Republican whip, and Claude C. Ball, Democratic contender, for election as congressman from the Eighth district of Indiana. Vestal and Ball, however, are more or less on the sidelines; they have been replaced by state and national committees. This contest, in which the Republican has but a nine-vote lead over his opponent, is pregnant with legislative possibilities. Democrats Investigate Under the leadership of R. Earl Peters, chairman, and Marshall Williams, secretary, of the Democratic state committee, local adherents of the party quietly have been gathering evidence and testimony of alleged irregularities since election day. When the first official moves are made early next week, among the charges scheduled for investigation and development are: 1. That in Precinct 24 (Muncie), where Vestal was given a vote of 803 to 497 for Ball, the precinct election commissioners never were sworn in. 2. That in Precinct 24, more than j 150 voters were allowed to ballot j after 6 p. m., the time specified for closing of the polls. 3. That in the last rush of from 150 to 200 voters in Precinct 24, no names or. addresses were taken and no attempt was made to verify j whether the voters were legitimate. More Votes Than Voters 4. That the vote of several con--1 testants in Precinct 24 exceeded the* i number of voters in the precinct, j notably so in the Snodgrass-Puckett battle for sheriff. Here, it is charged, the total vote was 1,483, or 132 votes more than the precinct poll of 1,351. 5. That many names on the pollbooks of Precinct 24 were those of students at Ball State Normal college, who were ineligible to vote. 6. That in Precinct 24 mutilated ballots later were counted as genuine ballots in certain contests.. 7. That in Precinct 12 (Muncie) irregularities resulting in later finding of twenty-seven ballots in a waste basket in the Longfellow schoolhouse also are said to have resulted in the burning or disappearance of other genuine but uncounted votes. 8. That in one precinct in Muncie whisky was used as a lure for votes, and that in another a woman watcher reported she had been paid $1 for every vote she secured. Recount May Be Justified 9. That sufficient doubt remains as to the already contested Twentysecond and Thirty-first precincts, where errors in tallying occurred, j to justify an actual recount of the ! ballots. 10. That in one precinct in Jay county ninety-two Democratic votes were destroyed to prevent a Democratic majority, and that in another precinct in thy same county a similar “mishap” occurred. Muncie, inured as it is to political scandal, is in an uproar over the whole affair. The public, generally speaking, has an idea that it's another old story retold, and that there’s been some shenanigan somewhere—but where it does not know. Candidate Ball is confident that the contest will assure his election, and says so. Candidate Vestal, who already has received his certificate of election from the secretary of state, is saying nothing. Papers in the official contest are expected to be filed in Washington early next week, and it is possible that before the time limit expires Monday, at least one local contest will be filed here.

Downey Financial Company, today was appointed receiver of the Washington Bank and Trust Company by Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin. Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin today will appoint a receiver for the Washington Bank and Trust Company, closed voluntarily Oct. 23. Chamberlin held the institution to be insolvent following a hearing Friday afternoon on a receivership petition of Luther F. Symons, state banking commissioner. The receiver will be paid “unusually reasonable” fees for his services in order to realize every cent possible for depositors, Chamberlin stated. Directors of the institution and bank examiners expressed hope that the trust company will be able to refund a large per cent of deposit accounts. Reviews Bank’s Books William Rider, Waynetown, state bank examiner, testified a review of the bank’s books after the closing showed assets to be $3,127,975, and liabilities $3,127,975. Deposits amounted to $1,374,251, including demand deposits of $631,821, and time deposits totaling $376,764. Largest liabilities, according to Rider, are: Lien savings certificates, $647,751; mortgage certificates, $303,300, and bills payable, $222,800. A building debt of $111,500 is listed as a liability. Under assets were listed real estate loans, $709,907; personal loans, $623,141; mortgage notes, $300,705; lien certificates, $473,421, and first lien certificates, $229,184. Cash on hand at the time of closing, $114,280, Rider testified. Rider said the institution has reached the limit of its borrowing power, lacking cash to meet demands, and that all cash reserve had been borrowed. Defends State’s Right Earlier Friday, Superior Judge James M. Leathers threw out of court a receivership petition of a depositor of the Washington Bank and Trust Company. The depositor, Iva P. Leeb, filed his petition three days before Symons, bank commissioner, filed the state’s petition. Leathers held that the bank commissioner has exclusive right in petitioning for receivership of a bank or trust company under a 1929 amendment to a 1907 statute regulating bank receiverships. W. C.
