BRILLIANT LAW r EXPERT HEADS GOTHAM PROBE Kresel, Wily Prosecution Ace, Pushes Five N. Y. Judges Off Seats. ThU U the first of series of articles on New York Investigation* of political fraud and office bovine In the coarts. By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. I.—A small, quiet ipan who likes to fish and play golf has assumed command in New York’s latest investigation into charges of political graft on a scale unknown since the days of the Boss Tweed scandals. He is Isidor J. Kresel, 52, Austrian born and a former United States assistant attorney-general, who has a record for digging up evidence which various embarrassed individuals had hoped would remain hidden. A former law partner of William Travers Jerome, Kresel has become special counsel to Referee Samuel Seabury in the investigation of minor courts, particularly charges of the purchaseof judgeships, from the Bronx to Battery park. Investigations Have Extended For three years the headlines of New York newspapers have shouted their story of political and judicial investigations in a dozen major scandals, involving bribes amounting to more than SIOO,OOO and defrauding of taxpayers to the extent of from $5,000,000 to three times that sum. Since the Queens sewer case, which resulted in ihc sentencing of Maurice E. Connolly, president of the borough, to a year's imprisonment on charges of graft in the construction of sewers, the investigations have extended to a shortage of county clerk fees, padding of the street cleaning department pay roll and now the magistrates and other courts. Two Judges Leave Posts Asa result — Five judges have resigned or been removed. They are Albert H. Vitale, who was removed from the bench on charges of borrowing $20,000 from the late Arnold Rothstein, gambler and gangster, killed in the Park Central hotel, and of discharging a burglar friend of Rothetein arraigned on robbery charges. George F. Ewald, who resigned after an investigation had revealed his connection with a practically worthless mine investment concern, and also that his wife had given SIO,OOO to Martin J. Healy, Tammany Hall leader, as a loan. wkW, Bernard Vause, county judge, igfho was found guilty of using the avails to defraud and sentenced to Hx years in Atlanta penitentiary. m Mancuso Forced to Retire ■ Francis X, Mancuso, general sesBons judge, who was forced to reHre because of his connection with Hie City Trust scandal, in which ■Yank H. Warder, state banking suHerintendent, was convicted of reHlving almost SIOO,OOO in bribes. ■ Francis X. McQuade, who resigned Ks magistrate, because, he anInounced, of his connection with the [New York Giants baseball club, at la time when an Investigation was 'being made Into his political activities. County Judge George W. Martin virtually relieved himself from further service pending outcome of an investigation for evidence of mail fraud in three companies in which he was interested. Three Under Investigation Three judges have .been under Investigation. They are Joseph Force Crater, whose mysterious disappearance on Aug. 6 has not been solved; Amedeo A. Bertini, general sessions judge, whose nomination has been investigated, and Magistrate Abraham Rosenbluth. Charges that members of the police vice squad framed many girls, who were forced to pay fees to attorneys to secure their release on bond, having involved eighteen policemen who were brought to trial, chiefly on the evidence of a “stool pigeon” Chile Mapocha Acuna, a suave South American who said he had been employed by police. Acuna, under the guidance of Kresel, has piled up testimony directly accusing the vice squad members of framing victims, and a vigorous cross-examination failed to shake him, INDIANA IS FACED BY NEW FINANCIAL CRISIS Funds to Be Exhausted Before June Tax Money Is Received. Indiana will face another financial crisis early in the year 1931, with the probability that state .funds will be exhausted long before the new tax moneys begin to pour into the treasury in the middle of June, William H. Cosgrove, deputy state auditor, predicted Joday. I* probably will be necessary once more to ask counties to advance payments on taxes, Cosgrove said, as was done the middle of last November. A telephone appeal was made to twelve county treasurers, Including Marion, today to turn over the remainder of their tax money for this year. The Dee. 31 balance will not be available for several days, Cosgrove said, but the Dec. 1 balance of $7,215,687.16 for all departments, Indicated clearly that there soon would be a shortage. There is sufficient money to take care of the demands for the next few weeks, however, Cosgrove said. Aviator’s Body Arrives By Time* Special FT. 'WAYNE, Ind., Jan. I. After more than a month in transit, the body of Paul Baer, Ft. Wayne aviator, who was an ace during the World war, has arrived here for funeral services and burial, to be held Saturday. He was killed in China when the mail plane he was piloting struck a Junk in a river at Shanghai. Sailor Buried By Timet Special TUNN ELTON, Ind., Jan. 1— Funeral services with military rites were held here today for Hugh McAvoy. who died Dec. 20 of peritonitis aboard a United States naval submarine off the coast ol California. He had served fair years in the navy and six in the army.

Aged Magnate Fights to Build Long-Dreamed-Of Rail Project

Transportation Executives Oppose Plan to Erect a Short Connecting Link Through Pennsylvania. BY DON SUTTON NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Jan. I.—The shaggy gray beard and towering might of Leonor Fresnel Loree have intruded themselves again, probably unpleasantly, upon the dreamt of America’s other railroad moguls. For the “Harriman Short Line,” the railroad that never was, threatens once more to disturb the eastern transportation picture. In Washington today, members of the interstate commerce commission are furrowing their brows over hundreds of pages of closely typewritten copy which give reasons why two ribbons of shiny steel should or should not be stretched across the gently rolling hills and level plateaus of the 283 miles between Easton, Pa., and Pittsburgh. Those pages contain the testimony upon which a twenty-year-old vision of Loree, aged veteran of inter-railroad warfare, will live or die. Began in 1911 They are the arguments pro and con on the practicability of the plan of the New York, Pittsburgh and Chicago railroad to pierce the formidable Appalachian range at its lowest point, opening up anew short route between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Seaboard. Loree, 72 years old, is fighting his greatest fight, and his opponents are all the mighty railroads in the east. Since about 1911 Loree, who is president of the Delaware and Hudson railroad, has kept alive the vision of puffing locomotives and rumbling trains roaring through this stretch of quiet hill country, forming anew short link between other eastern and western lines that will bring the Pittsburgh district seventy-five miles closer to New York and cut off 10 per cent of the distance from New York to Chicago. Harriman’s Legacy f It was a plan that he conceived with the late E. H. Harriman, great railroad builder. A last message to “see the project through” was Harriman’s legacy to Loree. For twenty years the plan has failed of realization, either because of economic factors, the World war or the opposition of other railroads. But Loree has clung to his dream of constructing “the most economical railroad in America” through the shortest cut between east and west. Lined up against the lone Loree in this newest railroad battle are the executives of the Pennsylvania, New York Central, Baltimore & Ohio, Readmg and other roads. They have argued before the I. C. C. that there is no guarantee that the projected short line would secure a supporting business, that there is no financial plan for putting it over, that there are not sufficient terminal facilities, and that the difficulty of constructing the line would be tremendous because it would have to pass over numerous valleys, necessitating the erection of many viaducts. Economical Road Loree and his associates counter by contending that the territory through which the road would pass is a coat district of great potential wealth, and that the time and money saving effected by transportation over this short cut would alone make the lirte pay. The estimated cost of building and operating the line for five years is $177,000,000. The Harriman estate bought charters on the 5,000 acres of land through which the short line would run. Easy grades and curves, it Is pointed out, would permit operation at the lowest cost. And, important in a time of business depression, the railroad would give employment to 20,000 men. The role of a fighter isn’t anew one to L. F. Loree. His career has been punctuated with struggles and victory, duels of money and power, ever since he rose from a $35-a----month job as a surveyor's assistant to bceome president of three railroads. Always Fighter He has acted as a super-doctor to manv run-down, ineflective railroads. By sheer efficiency of management., he has made them successful. , Many times his interests have been aligned with those, of the other great railroad executives of the country, many times they have been in opposition. Always he has acted independently, fearlessly in what he has believed to be the best demonstration of service to the public. If he is known as a fighter, it is because circumstances have given him the part of a fighter in many great railroad dramas. To his loyal employes, he is a kindly, almost shy man. He is immensely wealthy. By consistently refusing to gamble in rail stocks, he has emerged from a position perhaps somewhat less eminent than he once held with many millions of dollars, another factor which undoubtedly annoys less prosperous rivals who are at the head of more important roads.

The great railraods of the country are opposing the plan of L. F. Loree (above), aged transportation magnate, to inaugurate a fifth east-w r est system by building a short line through Pennsylvania. The map shows the route of the projected 283-mile road, between Pittsburgh and Easton, Pa., which would form an important continental railoard link.

‘CHICAGO’ GETS A START AT THE CIVIC

‘Viennese Nights,’ With Walter Pidgeon, Vivienne Segal and Alexander Gray, Is Booked at Apollo. THE CIVIC THEATER production of “Chicago” opened last night at the Playhouse for a week’s run. This is the first appearance in Indianapolis of this well-known play, which was originally produced by Sam Harris in New York, with Francine Larrimore in the leading role. Dorothy Robinson, the English comedienne, takes the part originally portrayed by Miss Larrimore and leads a large cast. The story, which was written by Maurine Watkins, an Indiana girl, broadly burlesques the events preceding and during the trial of a gay young lady who has murdered her paramour, but is much too beautiful, according to her attorney, to be hung in Cook county.

The tabloid newspapers, reporters and photographers proceed to make a heroine of her as a result, she “acts” her way through her stay in the county jail and through her trial in a most amusing manner. In the end, she is, of course, acquitted by a male jury and as a brief bit of poetic justice, is shorn of her glory and notoriety when another murderess steals her stuff in the very courtroom at the final curtain. The cast is as follows: Roxie Hart Dorothy Robinson Fred Casely J. Harrison Callender Amos Hart Alan Miller Billy Flynn Sherwood Blue Martin S. Harison Thomas Leonard Charles E. Murdock George Bryant Jake Charles Robinson Babe Stanley Josephs Mary Sunshine Field Richards Mrs. Morton Elizabeth Schofield Velma Dorothy Goodrich Liz Lulu Kanagy Moonshine Maggie.. Mary Florence Fletcher Go-To-Hell Kitty Helen Dodds Machine-Gun Rosie.. . .Mildred Stiltz Cain Judge. Jury. Bailiffs. Clerk. Photographers, Reporters. The play is in three acts and six scenes. Most of the action takes place in the Cook county jail. tt St tt OPERETTA SOON TO OPEN AT APOLLO “Viennese Nights, the Warner Brothers and Vitaphone romance which comes to the Apollo Saturday, proves that Keats was right and that a thing of beauty is a joy forever. In “Viennese Nights” it takes three generations to complete a symphony, and to unite in marriage the grandchildren of the boy and girl whose romance shared the fate of the music. This is a theme that Sigmund Romberg and Oscar Hammerstein II had long contemplated before they were asked to write the original story for the screen, it is said. With this thought in mind, that true beautiy is indestructible, and knows no age, no death, no end, the story and the music for “Viennese Nights” grew almost overnight into something Romberg and Hammerstein are justly proud. The cast includes Walter Pidgeon, Jean Hersholt, Vivienne Segal, Alexander Gray, Louise Fazenda, Alice Day, Bert Roach, June Purcell and Milton Douglas. Vivienne Segal and Alexander Gray play the boy and girl whose love was so great that it carried through three generations while the symphony was begun, lost and found again. Vitaphone Varieties, “I’ll Fix It,” Ripley's “Believe It or Not” series and Movietone News are included on the program. Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Just Imagine” at the Apollo; “The Lash” at the Circle; “The Silver

FIvTeCUPSES DUE FOR 1931 None Will Be Visible From United States. By Science Service WASHINGTON, Jan. I.—Five eclipses are on the 1931 celestial program, but none will be seen from the United States. Three are of the sun, but all are partial, so the corona and other features that appear when the moon (Completely covers the sun will be absent. Therefore, astronomers will make no efforts to observe them. If they did. they would have to do some traveling, for the first, on April 18, is visible from Siberia and and the north pole. The second, on Sept. 12, will be seen from Alaska; while the third will be seen on Oct. 11, from the southern tip of South America and the south pole. The eclipses of the moon are total, that is, the moon completely will enter the shadow of the earth. The first will occur on April 2, the second on Sept. 26. Both will be seen mainly from the eastern hemisphere. However, eclipses of the moon are of little scientific value, though of considerable popular interest as a spectacle. COAL MINERS STRIKE 150,000 Drop Their Picks in South Wales. By United Press LONDON, Jan. I.—A strike of 150,000 coal miners in South Wales was called today, after negotiations between mine owners and workers collapsed. The “spread-over” system of working hours, which sent some 75,000 Scottish miners on strike a few weeks ago, and almost caused a national coal stoppage, was responsible for the strike today. The mine owners demanded wage cuts under the spread-over system, under which the hours of work vary, instead of providing for a regular seven and one-half hour day. The executive committee of the South Wales Miners’ Federation sent a message to all districts late last night, ordering them to cease work today. Train Injuries Fatal By Times Special WARSAW, lad., Jan. I.—Loss of blood after a leg had been severed by a train, coupled with exposure, caused the death in a hospital here of Andrew McCarthy, 33, Syracuse, N. y. He fell from the train on which he was stealing a ride and lay helpless in the cold more than five hours before being found. Among the shortest races in the world are Australian Bushmen, Laplanders and Burmese. Among the tallest are the Scots, Scandinavians, Iroquois Indians and of the South Sea islands,

INDIANA FARM LEVELS LOWER IN PAST YEAR Drought and Depression Hit Agriculture, Purdue Director Says. BY T. R. JOHNSTON Publicity Director. Purdue University (Written for the United Press) LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. I. Drought combined with economic depression served to lower agricultural levels in Indiana during 1930, according to J. H. Skinner, director of the Purdue university department of agrcultural extension. The number of sheep during the past year was the greatest of the last ten years, and prices were low. a cycular liquidation in the sheep business may be expected to continue, making the outlook none too favorable. The demand for both lambs and wool was affected greatly by the depression of the past year. During the year, the number of beef cattle was 2 per cent below the ten-year average. The reason for the drop in cattle prices must be explained in terms of demand, rather than supply, and should not be construed as indicating a longtime drop in prices. Pig Iron Below 1929 As long as the general industrial depression continues, the decreased demand for meat associated with it will continue to influence depression of cattle prices. The spring pig crop in Indiana was about 12 per cent below that of 1929. The succession of unfavorable corn crops harvested in Indiana in recent years has resulted in considerable curtailment in hog production. Although hog prices are not as sensitive to changes in industrial conditions as prices for other classes of livestock, the depression has brought on lower hog prices than would be expected normally. Indiana dairy products producers, particularly those in the southern part of the state, are somewhat discouraged as result of a year of low butter-fat prices, a small hay crop in 1930, an almost complete pasture failure during the latter part of the summer, and a very small com crop. In northern Indiana the outlook is more optimistic. Butterfat Prices Lower Low prices of butterfat in 1930 have been the result, partly of low demand accompanying the depression, and partly of large production. The drought has curtailed production of dairy products In recent months and will be a depressing influence on production until new feed supplies are available in 1931. The number of milk cows was slightly larger at the beginning of 1930 than a year earlier. In June, 1930, production of milk per cow was higher than at any corresponding season in recent years. The drought, however, together with low prices which discouraged heavy feeding, decreased the production per cow late in the summer. Less milk was produced in July than in any July of the three years preceding. Butter production in June, July and August was considerably lower than in the corresponding months of 1929. Egg Production Less The number of laying chickens in Indiana farm flocks increased 6 per cent from Jan. 1, 1929, to Jan. 1, 1930. By Sept. 1, 1930, the number of laying hens in Indiana had decreased to 1 per cent below Sept. 1,192 P. Hot weather reduced egg production to a point where it was 6 per cent less per farm flock on Sept. 1, 1930, than on Sept. 1, 1929. The average weighted price drop in the state from 1929 to 1930 was 9.6 cents per dozen, or 33 per cent. Tiie prices of eggs and poultry will tend to rise w’hen business shows signs of improving.

SLOW GAIN IN STATE INDUSTRY SEENJOR 1931 No Basis for High Optimism or Extreme Pessimism Now in Sight, BY CHARLES C. STONE State Editor. The Times With the beginning of the new year, summing up of industrial and business conditions in Indiana during 1930, and some predictions for the year which started today, will round out another twelve months of the writer’s weekly surveys of the state. Hope rather than forecast expresses the attitude of business and industrial leaders of Indiana as new year begins. While there are some signs of revival in certain lines, there is mi denying that in general the present curtailment of activity will continue at least several months. However, there will be lines in which improvement is assured and it is possible that during the year there may be a return to a condition bearing at least some resemblance to normalcy. Numerous Bank Failure The year 1930 was one of numerous bank failures. Mergers and reorganizations were effected in many instances as a means of strengthening the weakened business fabric. Out of it all. there doubtless will result a better alignment. Those concerns which survive will be fit—that explains their existence today. > Typical of conditions prevailing in manufacture is the situation affecting furniture factories, constituting one of the great, fields of Indiana industry. In the past few months there have been some indications of a revival in furniture making, from which it can be deduced that stocks are becoming depleted and that gradually manufacturing will be increased. This is a situation likely to develop in many other lines of manufacure. Good Canning Year In the coal mining field, winter brought the usual improvement, but even now, practically the middle of the season, many miners are still out of work. Use of Indiana coal in Indiana on a larger scale than ever before has been urged for some time, but much of the effort was doubtless lost as a result of the general depression, curtailing the demand for coal for industrial use. Canning factories, comprising one of the state’s leading seasonal industries, had a good year, with resultant profit to growers of tomatoes, corn, beans and similar products. Several large orders were booked for Indiana limestone during the year, and the industry so far has probably weathered the depression better than any other in the state. No Basis for Extreme Pessimism Artificial stimulation of employment through public works and other means has added somewhat to the volume of retail business. From all indications there is no basis for a highly optimistic forecast for 1931, or for extreme pessimism. The progress toward normalcy naturally will be slow’. Not the least of the obstacles is the depression Qomplex—a frame of mind that slows down buying with all the attendant hardships.
