BOARD CHOSEN TO SUPERVISE GOLF COURSES Four Experts Selected to Serve as Advisers, With Links Director. . BEST IN U. S., IS AIM Improvements on Large Scale Included in Sallee's Plans. BY DICK MILLER Four Indianapolis golf architecture and maintenance experts today were named by the park board as a municipal golf advisory board. They will serve without pay, and will supplement a city golf director, to be selected by the advisory and park boards, together with A. C. Sallee, parks superintendent. The director will supplant the system of employing a manager for each of the city links. He will be named probably within a few weeks. Four Men on Board Advisory board members announced today arc: Ralph A. Young. 923 East Filtyseventh street, real estate dealer and golf course builder, for whose work Highland Golf and Country Club awarded him a life membership. William H. Diddel, 4114 Carrollton avenue, former state amateur champion, golf architect, course builder and maintenance expert. Edwin L. Lennox, 2845 North Illinois street, president of the Indianapolis District Golf Association. Samuel Mueller, 3702 North Delaware street, director of Broadmoor Country Club, and a maintenance expert. Plan Great Improvement Plans for development of local public courses call for improvements that will place several of the six courses in the city among the foremost in the nation. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan is cherishing hope of attracting the national public links tournament to Indianapolis during his administration. At. a luncheon meeting recently, Sallee outlined his plans to the park board and Young, Diddel, Mueller and Lennox, declaring he wished the latter to serve on the advisory board to bring about more economic and efficient operation of the four eighteen-hole and two ninehole courses here. Politics Is Banned The quartet said they would serve on the advisory board, but demanded they be allowed to proceed without political interference or becoming involved in politics. Their operations will begin, they said, by building up the courses rather than by reconstruction. However. one of the most pressing needs at present is rebuilding of Coffin course, formerly the Highland links, on which the new United States veterans’ hospital is to be constructed. The golf director or superintendent, yet to be named, will supervise all links and have direct charge of working personnel of each. electrkYknifTTs - NEW SURGICAL AID Heat From Recently Invented Blade Sterilizes Wound. By United Pres* LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4.—An electric knife that cuts with a “cutting current electrode,” sterilizing and sealing a wound as it progresses, is replacing the surgeon's scapel. Dr. George A. Wyeth told delegates to the sixteenth annual convention of the Radiological Society of North America. He described a tiny blade connected to an electric cabinet that cuts through flesh by the heat of electricity. The heat. Dr. Wyeth said, sterilizes the wound and prevents spread of infection. “The knife is valuable particularly in performing operations on cancerous growths, he said. Sealing the wounds, or lympathics as it passes, the knife avoids the danger of mechanical transplantation of cancer cells, he declared.

A ruling made by the United States supreme court Tuesday may checkmate the Insull proposal to have a service-at-cost street railway system in Indianapolis under jurisdiction of municipal authorities, it was pointed out today by Commissioner Frank Singleton, long-time member of the public sendee commission.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1930

STATE ACTS FOR CURB ON CITYCOURTS Judges Make It Difficult in Cases of Fugitives, Osborne Says. OGDEN GIVES OPINION Extradition Rendered Hard for Other Officers by Practice. City courts in Indianapolis have been overzealous of the rights of fugitives arrested here and wanted in other counties of the state, it was charged today by E. L. Osborne, chief .of the Indiana criminal bureau, in explaining the purpose behind an opinion received from Attorney-General James M. Ogden. The opinion sets out that when a fugitive is arrested in on<L county, upon request of authorities where the crime was committed, he shall be surrendered at once to the county authorities where wanted, upon those authorities appearing with proper warrants. “Authorities from other counties and men of my bureau hav§ had great difficulty in getting the courts here to surrender jurisdiction after arrest of a fugitive,” Osborne explained. “They conduct a regular trial about the matter, “The attorney-general's opinion clarifies the law' on this point and shows that, these delays and checkmater; are not proper procedure.” It was explained at the attorneygeneral's office that in making the request it was pointed out that very often a man is indicted for a crime in an Indiana county and then flees to Indianapolis. Here he is arrested and held on a fugitive warrant. But instead of surrendering the prisoner and substituting the fugitive warrant for the one brought by the sheriff ol the county where the crime was committed, and which sets out a specific charge, the city court judges have held long trials about the matter. They require witneses and go into the whole crime, making extradition to the proper county difficult and sometimes unsuccessful, it was said. The ruling, written by Joseph Hutchinson, deputy attorney-gener-al, holds for prompt surrender of the prisoner and quashing of the fugitive charges. JUDGE HELD ON MAYOR’SORDER George R. Dale Admits Part in Muncie Episode. B-y Times Special MUNCIE, Ind., Dec. 4.—Arrest of City Judge Frank .Mann this week was ordered by Mayor George R. Dale, the latter admits. The arrest followed an attempt by Judge Mann to remove furnishings of the city employment bureau from a room which had been allotted. to him for use as an office. “The judge elected to maintain his office in another building,” the mayor said, “and the city is paying his telephone charges for that office. He has never used the city hall office excepting to hang his hat there. The room was needed by the employment bufeau.” Throughout part of a day a policeman was stationed in the employment bureau, apparently with orders to resist a further attempt by the judge to move in.

Mere Matter of $1,700 Clothes Girl for Year BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 4.—These movie folk sometimes get strange ideas regarding - “moderate incomes.'’ So accustomed have they become to their four-figure weekly pay checks that they

look upon the normal income of an average person as. even less than starvation wages. Wc got an insight into this the other night by listening to Natalie Moorhead give her idea of the kind of wardrobe a woman of “moderate income” should have. The total cost of the items she mentioned would be $1,700 —which means that a girl earning $l5O a month would have to spend her entire salary every year on clothes. And we know’ a good many girls who consider $l5O a month a big salary, not a “moderate income.” Here is the list as compiled by the blonde actress. Two simple dresses at sls each, one tailored suit at $75, three afternoon dresses at SSO each, three street dresses for $125, two dinner dresses at $75 each, three evening gowuis at SIOO each,

one sport coat at $65, one dress coat for $125, one fur cot for $250, wraps for the three evenings gowns, S2OO, six hats for SSO, ten pairs of shoes for $lO5 and incidentals, $65.

PRESS BARRED BY LESLIE AT G. O.JLCAUCUS Attitude Is Regarded as Fear of Expression of Insurgency. BY BEN STERN Apparently fearing that an expression of insurgency on the part of Republican state senators might indicate serious objection to his reappointment program, Governor Harry G. Leslie today prevailed upon the senatorial caucus at the Severin to bar newspaper men from the meeting. “We may have ( some things to discuss which will be contrary to the Democratic program and which we wouldn't want the people to hear,” the Governor said. The conference of the G. O. P. senators—who hold twenty-nine of the fifty seats—was attended both by the Governor and LieutenantGovernor Edgar Bush. Rogers Is Tied Up Elza O. Rogers, Republican state chairman, was not present. He sent a message that he was tied up by a law suit in Lebanon. It was believed, however, that he did not want to come here and lay dow’n a program which would be opposed by the Governor, inasmuch as Governor Leslie at a recent meeting had urged Rogers to approve a bipartisan committee on reapportionment. Many of Governor Leslie’s remarks during the morning w ere devoted to praise of the state highway commission and criticism of its opponents, it was learned. This w r as interpreted as an effort to stave off any coalition of Republican and Democratic senators toward an investigation of the commission. Singles Out Strey He singled out State Senator Charles Strey of Wabash, naming him as one of the most bitter critics of the commission s activities. Strey w 7 as present at the conference. Senators who are candidates for president pro tern, of the organization were busy building fetices in the caucus. James J. Nejdl of Whiting announced his candidacy and said he had seventeen pledges, two more than necessary. Others who show strength, however, are French Clements of Evansville, I. Floyd Garrott of Battle Ground and J. Clyde Hoffman of Indianapolis. Among those seeking senate staff appointments are Leland Fishback of Indianapolis, w r ho wishes again to be secretary; Wilson Dailey of Indianapolis, who wishes reappointment as assistant secretary, and Jerome Brown of Anderson, who would return as chief doorkeeper.

arrested the accused man until they j obtained warrants. Deputy Prosecutor Harry Gause, ' objecting to the court's finding, was 1 threatened with punishment for contempt of court. Collins termed Wiggins’ case "the worst case of prosecution I ever saw.” After Collins made his finding, Prosecutor Judson L. Stark ordered j Sergeant Leo Troutman to rearrest 1 \ Wiggins in the courtroom. Collins interfered. ‘‘This defendant has a right to j ! walk out of this building," he said. | Wiggins, defended by Attorney John Royse, left the courtroom while Collins called Troutman into a private conference, j Collins’ finding was made on the | contention that Wiggins’ arrest was ; unlawful. Despite testimony of Austin Har- ! lan, 442 Conrad street, station attendant at North street and Cap- | itol avenue, a victim, that Wiggins was the bandit who held him up, i Collins stated that “there is no evidence connecting this defendant with the crime.” j Stark indicated the state will attempt to file additional charges | against the alleged bandit, and will ask for trial before a jury. "Well try Wiggins on the other thirteen jobs before a jury and not before Collins,” he s^d.

CLEWS FEW IN BANK ROBBERY AT FRANKFORT Police Chief Thinks $67,500 Holdup Was Work of Chicago Gang. $15,000 LOOT IN GOLD Seven Men and One Woman Believed to Have Been in Raid. By United Press FRANKFORT. Ind , Dec. 4.—Police Chief H. L. Moore said today he believed a Chicago bandit gang perpetrated the $67,500 robbery of the Farmers’ Trust Company here on Wednesday afternoon. Chief Moore and three of his staff were working with bank offficials today, obtaining descriptions of the robbers and other information to be used in the search for the bandits. Also working on the case was Ollie Wright of the state bureau of criminal investigation and identification, and James Riesner, state police captain. They were sent to Frankfort Wednesday by E. L. Osborne, head of the bureau. Holdup Staged Skilfully Chief Moore said the holdup had been staged so smoothly and quietly that police had little tangible information to lead them in investigation. It was believed that seven men and one woman were in the gang, five of them working inside the building and two men and a woman remaining on guard outside and at the auto used in escape. Moore said it had been regarded as useless to send out posses to search for the robbers and, instead, authorities were, for the present, confining their efforts to questioning of the dozen customers and seven employes in the bank at the time. Business was bring conducted as usual at the institution, Chief Moore said. Os the total amount taken, $15,000 was in gold. Robbers Well Dressed The robbers were described as being middle aged and well dressed. Witnesses said they were driving a Buick sedan. Officers in surrounding towns and cities were asked to be on the lookout for the men, but no report concerning them had been received today. Tlae loss is covered by insurance. Approximately a dozen customers were in the bank when the robbers entered. Clerks, together with customers, were herded into a rear room and forced to lie face down on the floor. The bandits then scooped up cash from various cages and currency, gold and negotiable bonds from the vault. They left the bank by a rear dcor and escaped into an alley.
