ENTIRE STATE ORGANIZED TO PROVIDE JOBS Chairman of Governor’s Commission Says Work Is in Full Swing. RUSH PUBLIC PROJECTS Suggestions for Creating Work Flood Hewitt, He Reports. Indiana now is organized 100 per cent to fight unemployment and a hard winter, it was announced today by John W. Hewitt, secretary of the Governor's unemployment relief commission. "Every county now has a chairman and committee organization is being completed in the local units,” Hewitt asserted. ‘‘There has not been a single instance where county chairman have refused appointment in this service.” Hewitt reported that his office at the statehouse is being deluged with letters of suggestion, showing an interested citizenry. Marion Is Example Many of these urge that married women and girls who are not required to work for a livelihood surrender their positions, in factories, stores and offices, to men who are unemployed and have dependents, he said. “This movement is arousing the community spirit in many places to a pitch that has not been reached since the war,” Hewitt declared. “Projects that long have been pending at last are getting under way as part of the program to provide jobs this winter. ‘‘The city of Marion is an outstanding example of this. For years there has been debate about construction of a levee there. But now a bond issue has been authorized and five prominent civic minded citizens have put up SIO,OOO to start the work now, while the bonds are being approved by the state tax board and sold. Paving Work Begun “Dozens of paving jobs in cities and towns, county and township road projects are under way with differences settled. In many cases the money has been available but the work not done because of disagreements. “It is expected that at least 200 men will be employed on the Marion jcb.” Where the county committees handle charity cases, no new machinery will be set-up when organized welfare work now is being done, the secretary explained. But county, chairmen will get the official and unofficial organizations together to avoid duplication of effort. Today a letter was received from Mrs. Edwin F. Miller, president of the Indiana Federation of Clubs, offering any aid that can be given by the Hcosier club women in supporting the program. Railroad Aid Asked Hewitt also announced that President Harry Currie of the Monon railroad had written heads of all railroads operating in the state, asking that work be divided as much as possible to give as many jobs as can be given and construction programs planned for the spring be launched now. Similar letters were sent to electric railway and utilities chiefs by Robert M. Feustel, Ft. Wayne, Instill utilities Indiana chief, and members of the unemployment commission.

WINTER STORM SWERVES; CITY OUT Or PATH Blizzard Cuts to North, Saving Midwest From Freezing Threat. TRAINS HALTED IN WEST Trinidad, Colo., Is Isolated With Giant Drifts Blocking Roads. Bn l nil at Press Nov. 20.—An erratic blizzard, that isolated Trinidad, Colo., with thirty-two inches of snow, blew east and northward today into Nebraska and the Dakotas, en route back to the northland, where it originated. The storm, heralded as a threat to Indian summer in the middle west, swerved, after it left Colorado and cut a path across western Nebraska, into the Dakotas, and whistled along the western border of Minnesota. M. P. Day, Chicago weather expert, tracing the blizzard's route, assured Chicagoan’s and mid-west-erners east of the Mississippi that they may leave their overcoats home for a few days. While temperatures will be lower overnight and Friday, the cold wave lost its threat when the blizzard swerved, he said. Three Trains Are Stalled Trinidad was hardest hit in the wide storm swept area. Throe transcontinental trains, filled with passengers from California and the southwest, reached Trinidad through the heavy snow, but remained today with every railroad and highway blocked with drifts that reached the dept of twenty feet in many places. Railroad officials could not estimate how long it would be before the tracks will be cleared, but felt certain it would not be today. North and south traffic also was stopped. Trains were rerouted at Newton, Kan., westward through Amarillo, Tex., and Albuquerque, to avoid the huge drifts. Business Is at Standstill Business was at a standstill in Trinidad. Streets were so deep with snow that automobiles were unable to move. Highway snow plows bucked the drifts in vain. Telephone and telegraph service, however, into Trinidad was maintained. Virtually all direct wires between Kansas City and Denver, nevertheless, were down and United Press communications were rerouted through the southwest into Denver. It was snowing heavily in western Nebraska today as the storm cut northward. South Dakota also received its first taste of real winter as the forerunners of the blizzard headed toward Canada.

BORGLUM would say no more about the Coolidge history, or just how he changed its context. “I already have said more than I ever have said publicly before,” Borglum added. He said that the face of Washington, carved in herculean size on the natural granite wall, was well advanced.

JURY AWARDS $20,000 TO LATTA’S FIANCEE IN SUIT TO COLLECT ON INSURANCE Only One Ballot Is Taken to Decide Case After Deliberation of 35 Minutes; Attorney for Defense Says Appeal Likely. INTEREST ALSO MUST BE PAID Decision Will Affect Other Policies Issued to City Man Who Was Killed When Train Struck Auto Near Carmel. BY ARCH STEINEL Times Staff Correspondent • DANVILLE, Ind., Nov. 20.—Deliberating thirty-five minutes, a Hendricks circuit court jury today granted the claim of Miss Emma Margaret Sanders, Ft. Wayne music teacher, to a $20,000 accident insurance policy in which she was named beneficiary by the late Will H. Latta, Indianapolis corporation attorney. The jury took only one ballot, according to Charles B. Worrell, Clayton, foreman. To the $20,000, it added interest from the date of Mr. Latta's death, June 12, 1929, and the total judgment was $21,703.33. Although Albert Ward, chief counsel for defense of the United States Casualty Company, which issued the policy, was not in court when the jury returned its verdict, E.

bridge game in her rented home in Primrose Meadows. Even after the broad sleekness of Sheridan road stretched before him he could do little more than try to realize the shock which had numbed him. “Lovely Nita,” as the society editor of The Morning News had called her, was—dead! How, w’ ~ he did not know. He had asked no details of Penny Crain. . . . Funny, thorny little Penny! “Judge Marshall has telephoned police headquarters,” she had told him breathlessly over the telephone, “but I made him let me call you as soon as he had hung up. I wanted our office to be in on this right from the first.” Beautiful, seductive Nita Selim, almost cuddling under his arm, within three minutes of meeting him—dead! A vision of her black eyes, so wide and luminous and, wistful as they had looked sideways and upward to his, pleading for him to join her after-bridge cocktail party, nearly made him crash into a lumbering furniture van. Those eyes were luminous no longer, never again could snap the padlocks of slave chains upon any man—as Penny had expressed it. . . . Dead! And she had been so warmly alive, even as she had retreated from him at his mention of the fact that he was attached to the office of the district attorney as a special investigator. What had she feared then? Was her death a payment for some recent or long-standing crime? Or was she simply withdrawing from the contamination of a “flat-foot?” No! She had been afraid—horribly afraid of some ulterior purpose behind his innocent courtesy in driving Penelope Crain to Breakaway inn. Well, speculation now’ was idle.

TWO CENTS

The decision probably will have bearing on another j >30,000 accident policy which Mr. Latta took out, together with the $20,000 policy, only a few month before his auto was struck by a Monon train north of Carmel. A third in- | surance company paid 60 per 1 cent of another $30,000 pol- ! icy. A portion of the other policies, | with a $5,000 policy which he held • many years before death, was bequeathed to two nephews, and the | remainder was placed in a trust j tun'd to accumulate two hundred i years. Takes News Calmly Then it was to be used to estabi lish a memorial university to him in | his former home at Ligonier, Ind., and to endow an Indianapolis Conservatory of Music. The fund at the end of two centuries would amount to many millions. Miss Sanders took news of the verdict in her favor calmly. “I have nothing to say. Please let me alone,” she pleaded with newspaper reporters. As the jury, led by Worrell, filed out of the courtroom she rose, half-smiling and half-weeping, to shake each juror by the hand, and thank him. She also thanked her counsel, headed by Frank C. Dailey of Indianapolis, and then left the courtroom. Suicide Was Alleged The only question considered by the jury, according to Worrell, was that of allegations of suicide made by the defense. In that consideration, Worrell said, the burden of proof rested on the defense, and attorneys for the insurance company failed to prove conclusively to the jurors that Mr. Latta drove the car on the tracks and waited for the train to crush him to death. Testimony indicating suicide was introduced by the defense, who brought the train crew on the stand to relate that when the train rounded the curve half a mile away, Mr. Latta’s auto, lights extinguished, was on the tracks. There it remained, with a white face reflecting the locomotive's headlight, until the fatal crash, they said. Love Letters Read W. J. Krieg. Indianapolis, former business associate of Mr. Latta, said his friend several times had threatened suicide because of financial worries. The plaintiff introduced forty-one love letters to show that Mr. Latta was ardent in wooing of Miss Sanders, to whom he was to have been married a few days after the date of the crash, and to prove that suicide had not entered his plans. Closing arguments were made Wednesday afternoon, and this morning Judge Z. E. Dougan gave instructions to the jury, and they were closeted at 10:04 a. m. At 10:39 a. m., the foreman bangetj on the door, and the court reconvened. Jury Is Instructed Judge Dougan's instructions to the jury stressed the importance of the need for motive of suicide before it could find that Latta had voided his policy by self-destruction. The jury was instructed that its verdict could not be a compromise, but must find tnat the $20,000 policy is to be paid in full or rule that it should not be paid at all. The Times erroneously said Tuesday that testimony of Louis Rosenberg, Indianapolis lawyer, was stricken out of the Latta trial record, because of a “slanderous tinge.” The testimony was stricken out for irrevelency. Rosenberg was brought to the stand to impeach evidence given by Krieg. DOX ARRIVES IN SPAIN Big German Seaplane Makes Flight to Santander From Bordeanx. By l nited Prctt SANTANDER. Spain. Nov. 29.
