Prince to Cabbies Akerson’s Departure to Film Job Grieves Taxi Drivers of Capital.

George Akcrson

BV RAY TUCKER lime* Staff Corrranondrnt WASHINGTON, Jan. s.—When George Akerson quit secreta'rying for President Hoover last week to accept a reported $20,000 offer from Paramount Pictures, he caused great sorrow among the capital's taxicab drivers. Though their vehicles serve officialdom till they crack up like the one-hoss shay, the boys behind the wheel will never forget Akerson’s nonchalance in the face of a meter reading that resembled a problem in mountainous mathematics. Midnights still unborn will find the cabbies munching late lunches at a white-front restaurant on Pennsylvania avenue, and telling tales in which George moves as a legendary and bountiful figure. With them the thought of this big, blonde, bustling and careless ' Norseman will live as long as any hoary and heroic saga of his own Norscland. For it was George's curious custom, when visiting friends of an evening, to order the cab to waft. He might entertain a party far into the night with his booming stories or his amazing skill at the piano, which ranges from a •‘Cheerful Little Earful” to Handel’s “Messiah,” but there waited the taxi at the curb like a faithful body servant. His host’s suggestions that it be dismissed always were met . with an airy wave of the hand. George liked to hear the chugging cab fratside the door. a a a THIS is the most illuminating incident in Akerson’s brief career here. It is as characteristic of him as his insistence on having a uniformed chauffeur even though his automobile was no more than a four-cylinder, S6OO Chevrolet coach. Since he became secretary to the President, he has rated a monogrammed, custom-built PierceArrow, but it is often suspected that he pines for the lowly taxi outside the door. Nor was this affection. The “grand manner” comes naturally to “gorgeous George.” He always moved through his days—and nights—as if on a grand tour of life. A huge figure, he strode about like a juggernaut. It is little wonder that they nicknamed him “the great Nordic monsoon” when he landed here in 1921 to cover the arms conference lor the Minneapolis Tribune. a a a HIS manner and—even more important—his music gave him his first big start in official Washington. Fellow correspondents took him to their hearts and homes when they learned of his talent. Their typewriters and their “inside dope” were his to command. Thus he never had to pass through the hard apprenticeship that faces most newspaper cubs at the capital. But, as a correspondent, George was good. He was earlier known as the most acute political observer in the northwest. In the 1922 primary campaign for the senate nomination between Frank B. Kellogg and August Lindbergh, father of the aviator, Akerson handled Kellogg’s publicity. And the things he and Kellogg said about the older Lindbergh, then regarded as a “Bolshevik” for his economic views, have left scars to this day in Minnesota politics. The rest of the climb was easy. His breeziness impressed Hoover when, as secretary of commerce, he had charge of federal participation in the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial. Though that affair wtu a disastrous failure, no blame accrued with Hoover. He was closely connected with the publicity phase of the President’s campaign for nomination. a a a AKERSON was then an invaluable ally. By contrast with him. most of the men around the seeker after the presidency were grim and amateurish fellows. Akerson knew practical politics, whereas they did not. Moreover, he furnished a muchjieeded glad hand in the Hoover entourage. George provided just what Hoover's political cupboard lacked—“applesauce.” As secretary. Akerson has been more of a buffer against importunate politicians and press than a presidential confidant.

HOUSE PASSES MEASURE FOR DROUGHT AID Joint Resolution Giving $45,000,000 for Loans Goes to Senate. 0 MARINE ISSUE IS UP King’s Proposal to Bring Troops From Nicaragua Is Tabled. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. s.—Congress reconvened at noon today after its Christmas recess, and in a little more than an hour, the house finally had disposed of the administration relief program. It passed the joint resolution appropriating $45,00,000 for loans to drought-stricken farmers, and the measure now goes to the senate. The $45,000,000 appropriation was authorized just before the holiday recess, but the resolution adopted by the house today was necessary to provide funds. Marines Made Issue Taking cognizance of the killing of eight marines and the wounding of two others in Nicaragua on Dec. 31, Senator King (Dem., Utah) introduced a resolution in the senate calling for imififediate withdrawal of marines from that country. The resolution was tabled. Immediately afterward the senate, however, adopted a resolution by Senator Johnson (Rep., Cal.) calling on Secretary of State Stimson to send to the senate all communications since 1924 relative to the landing and maintenance of marines in Nicaragua. Johnson’s resolution also called for copies or originals of all communications, documents, reports or agreements relating to the holding of elections in Nicaragua under United States supervision. It also called for similar information regarding pay and duties of marines serving with the native constabulary. Senate Gets Drought Biil A resolution by Senator Ashurst (Dem., Ariz,) asking the President to enter • fhtb 'negotiations with Mexico for the purchase of Lower California and of 10,000 square miles in the state of Sonora was tabled. The senate began consideration of the joint resolution apppropriating $45,000,000 for drought relief immediately after the measure was adopted by the house. Senator Caraway, following out the intent of his resolution introduced earlier, moved to amend the measure to provide an additional $15,000,000 for loans providing human food. set Tor long flight Italian Seaplanes to Start Tonight Across South Atlantic. By United Press ROME, Jan. s.—Twelve Italian seaplanes led by General Italo Balbo, minister of air, were expected to leave Bolama, Portuguese Guinea, tonight on the long and dangerous flight across the South Atlantic to Natal, Brazil.

LITTLE CAESAR

CHAPTER ONE gAM VETTORI sat staring down into Halstead street. He was a big man, fat as a hog, with a dark, oily complexion, kinky black hair and a fat aquiline face. In repose he had an air of lethargic good nature, due entirely to his bulk; but in reality he was sullen, bad tempered and cunning. From time to time he dragged out a huge gold watch and looked at it with raised eyebrows and pursed lips. Near him at a round table sat Otero, called the Greek; Tony Passa and Sam Vettori’s lieutenant, Rico, playing stud for small stakes. Under the green-shaded lamp Otero’s dark face looked livid and cavernous. He sat immobile and said nothing, win or lose. Tony, robust and rosy, scarcely 20 years old, watched each turn of the cards intently, shouting with joy when his luck was good, cursing wheri it was bad, more out of excitement than interest in the stakes. Rico sat with his hat tilted over his eyes, his pale, thin face slightly drawn, his fingers tapping. Rico also played to win.

Vettori, puffing, pulled himself to his feet and began to walk up and down. “Where you suppose he is?” he asked the ceiling. “I told him 8 o’clock. It is half past.” “Joe never knows what time it is.” said Tony. “Joe’s no good.” said Rico without taking his eyes off the cards. “He’s soft.” “Well.” said Vettori, stopping to watch the game out of boredom, “maybe so. But we can’t do without him. Rico. I tell you, Rico, he can go anywhere. A front is what he’s got. Swell hotels? What does It mean to that boy? He says to the clerk, I would like please a suite. A suite! You see. Rico. Wc can't do without him.” a m m RICO tapped on the table, flushing slightly. “AlUiright. Sam,” he said, “some day hall turn yellow. Hear what

Ropkey Is Re-Elected by Council Named President by Vote of 5 to 3 in Revival of ‘Harmony.’ City council’s highly advertised “harmony” wavered a bit today, but rallied in time to bring about reelection of Ernest C. Ropkey as president on a vote of 5 to 3. Leo F. Welch was elected vicepresident. Moves by George A. Henry, Republican councilman, to gather enough votes to oust Ropkey failed, and Henry declined to vote in the election of the president. Clareni.v I. Wheatley was nominated as Ropkey’s opponent by the Rev. C. A. Hildebrand, retiring vice-president. Fred C. Gardner nominated Ropkey for re-election. Those behind Wheatley, with the lack of Henry’s vote, were Hildebrand and Charles Morgan. Welch defeated Hildebrand for vice-president by a five-to-four vote. In addition to the HildebrandWelch votes of courtesy, Hildebrand had the support of Henry Morgan ar and Wheatley. Ropkey is expected to name 1931 committees tonight at the regular business session. finFabductor OF BUSCH HEIR Newspaper Refuses to Tell Negro’s Hiding Place. By United Press ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. s.—The St. Louis Star, in a copyright story today, said it had found Charles Y. Abernathy, Negro kidnaper of 13-year-old Adolphus Busch Othwein, heir to the Busch brewing millions, who was returned to his home Jan. 1, after being held captive twenty hours. Abernathy made a signed confession, the Star said, denied that the kidnaping was premeditated, and said he had left his home on New Year’s eve with the intention of holding “some rich folks up” because “I needed money to feed my children.” Abernathy has been sought by St. Louis county authorities on a warrant charging kidnaping, but the Star did not reveal his hiding place. The story was signed by Harry T. Brundige, Star reporter. $30,000,000 DISPLAYED Ancient Art Relics Are Exhibited at London Royal Academy.

I say. He’s not right. What's all this dancing? A man don’t dance for money.” Sam laughed. “Oh, Rico! You don’t know Joe.” Tony stared at Rico. “Rico,” he said, “Joe's right. I know what I’m saying. All that dancing is a front. He's smart. Have they ever got him once?” Rico slammed down his cards. He hated Joe and he knew that Tony and Vettori knew it. “All right,” he said, “hear what I say. Hell turn yellow some day. A man don’t take money for dancing.” Tou've read part of the first instalment of "Little Caesar,” hailed by critics as the greatest gangland story ever written.

INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 1931

PROPOSES TO BLOCK LOSSES IN TEXT COSTS Hines Advances Plan to to Save Parents Thousands of Dollars. URGES ADOPTION DELAY Tells Board Slashes in School Book Prices / Can Be Made. Putting forth bluntly a program whereby Hoosier parents can not lose, but in addition stand a chance of saving thousands of dollars in textbook expenditures, President L. N. Hines of the Indiana State Normal school at Terre Haute and text book commissioners, argued today to delay the five-year textbook adoption until May. The Hines proposal in brief is this: Hold off the adbption, with any eye to readoption of present texts in use at a cut under the present so-called “war time” prices. Asserting that such price cuts can be made, Hines pointed out that books by publishers not holding contracts now are under the adopted text prices. To give the present contractors a chance to cut ‘the price, Hines will introduce another motion to readvertise for bids if delay until May is accepted. Vote to Table Study The state education board, sitting as the textbook commission, recessed at noon and voted to table consideration of the Hines’ motion until after luncheon. So the swarm of textbook company salesmen and “contractors,” which filled the statehouse hallways, also went out to eat. Because the scheduled readoption several months in advance of the usual date had aroused statewide debate and emphatic expressions from Governor Harry G. Leslie, the press was admitted to the commission’s executive session. At the outset of the meeting, Hines moved that only texts printed in Indiana be adopted, but his motion was accorded only his own vote, other members arguing such a step would bring retaliatory measures from other states, reacting harmfully to Indiana publishers. Adopt Wirt’s Proposal But the commssion did adopt the proposal of W. A. Wirt, Gary school superintendent, that effort be made to have contract-winning publishers insure printing and binding of the books in Indiana, “so far as practicable.” ► L. L. Needier, secretary of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, said he wanted to explain that the federation has altered its position of unqualified opposition to textbook adoption at this time to the position of favoring new adption if price reductions can be obtained. Bids opened last week showed publishers now holding state textbook contracts did not lower their prices, while publishers not holding contracts offered lower prices on comparable texts. Move for immediate adoption or readoption had the support of Lemuel A. Pittenger, Beryl Holland and Mrs. Martha Whitacre. Talks Against “Stampeding” Mrs. Whitacre contended the board should not be “stampeded” into any sort of action by popular clamor, but “should make its selections governed by what is best from educational and economical standpoints.” To readvertise for bids, she argued, would be unfair to publishers who offered lower prices. Hines’ reply was that “the matter of being fair to school patrons and parents comes before fairness to the publishers.” Texts in the program include geography, history, English, spelling and home economics. KILL BOY IN MAD RITES 8-Year-Old Child Slain by Negro Voodoo Worshipers. By United Press HAVANA, Jan. s.—Martin Perez, 8-year-old boy missing for ten days, was killed by voodoo worshipers who used his blood in an alleged curing potion, secret police said today. Jose Caridad Dounny and Gregerio Fuentes, Negroes, confessed to the murder, police who arrested them said.

DRY AMENDMENT IS VALID RULES U. S. CIRCUIT COURT

Pi) Times Special NEW YORK, Jan. s.—Validity of the eighteenth amendment was sustained by the United States circuit'court of appeals today in a case virtually identical with the one under which Federal Judge William Clark of Newark declared prohibition invalid. The conviction of Louis Thibeault, sentenced to the Ohio federal reformatory for selling two pints of whisky was affirmed in a decision read by Judge Manton. Judges Hand and Chase concurred. The case was appealed from Vermont. Selden Bacon and Daniel 1* Cohalan, counsel in the cast that was presented to Judge Clark and subsequently appealed to the supreme court by the government, also were attorneys for Thiebault. In both actions their contention was that the eighteenth amendment was invalid, -Judge Clark’s opinion supported

Trail Negro Murderer of Carl W. Heckman; One Man Is Held. Police, aided by law enforcement agencies throughout the midwest, today conducted a hunt for the Negro bandit who Saturday night murdered Carl W. Heckman, 28, detective sergeant, in a gun battle in the 3500 block North Pennsylvania street. The slayer, police say, is Richard Cobb, alias Perkins, of 624 Fayette street, who also is sought for several holdups of laundry wagon drivers in Indianapolis in the last two weeks. Inquest Set Wednesday Floyd Boa. Negro, 26, of 880 Torbett street, confessed companion of the alleged slayer, who is -held on a murder charge, broke down after strenuous questioning by detectives several hours after the shooting and named Cobb as the actual slayer of the detective, police said. Reward of S3OO for arrest and conviction?! of Parkins was offered today by the police emergency Lund, according to Police Chief Jerry E. Kinney. Inquest on the slaying will be held Wednesday morning by Coroner Fred W. Vehling. The shooting occurred after Heckman and Philip Miller, detective sergeant, detailed to guard laundry wagons on the north side after the recent wave of robberies, halted a few yards behind a laundry truck driven by J. A. Newman, employe of the Excelsior Laundry Company, who was making a delivery at 3525 North Pennsylvania street. Detective Challenges Pair The detectives saw the Negroes walk from the north and one of them started to enter the laundry wagon. When they saw the police car they continued walking. When they neared the police car Miller leaped to the sidewalk with his revolver drawn and commanded them to put up their hands. Both Negroes drew revolvers as Heckman came from the car. One of the Negroes started shooting and Board threw away his weapon. One of the bullets from the slayer’s gun struck Heckman in the forehead. He continued shooting as he fell dying on the sidewalk. Miller grabbed Board and held him. On Force Since 1929 The slayer fled between apartment houses and had escaped when police emergency squads arrived. Belief that Cobb fled to Chicago was expressed by police after they learned a Negro answering Cobb’s description had used a phone in a parking lot in the 500 block South Meridian street two hours after the murder. He called another man, saying he was going to Chicago. He jumped a fence around the parking lot and fled in a large coupe. Heckman was appointed to the force in February, 1929. He is survived by the widow, Mrs. Alice Heckman, and three .children, Maurice, 6; Mary Alice, 3, and Dale Edward, 17 months, and his father, Edward Heckman, all of Indianapolis . He lived at 1981 Sugar Grove avenue. Funeral services will be held at the home at 1.30 p. m. Tuesday and at the Riverside Park M. E. church at 2.

that contention on the grounds that the fifth article of the Constitution —the i mending provision—stipulated that amendments could be ratified either by three-fourths of the state legislatures or threefourths of the constitutional conventions in the various state. Judge Clark contended the latter means had been ignored. “The only issue in this case.” Judge Manton’s opinion today said, “is the validity of the eighteenth amendment.” “In the national prohibition cases the supreme court squarely held that the eighteenth amendment was within the power to amend as reserved by the fifth article: that the amendment had been lawfully composed and ratified, and that it had become a part of the Constitution. "The supreme court cases refer: A to are authoritative and bindfifl on us.” s

COURT FAVORS MEAT PACKERS Modified Consent Decree Permits Foods Sale. By United Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 5. The packers consent decree of 1920 was modified today by Justice Jennings Bailey in District of Columbia supreme court so as to permit packers to deal in all classes of food in wholesale trade, but prohibits the retail sale of food. The decision, regarded by packers as a victory, removes restrictions of the 1920 decree which limited the packers from selling any commodities other than meat at wholesale. The decree denied the packers the right to enter the retail meat business, as well as other forms of retail trade, and it also refused them the right to own stock in stock yards. The court failed to find any evidence of violation of the Sherman anti-trust law on the part of the packers or any proof that they now are doing business in violation of the original decree. The opinion of Justice Bailey gives the packers the right not only to engage in wholesale dealings in foods—including meat, groceries, dairy products, fruits, vegetables and all such commodities —but torise their distribution and transportation facilities such as freight and refrigerator cars and branch plans in so doing.

PLAYING with a mechanical toy hoist on a floor of a home at 1218 East Market street today was Little Man. A toy motorcycle policeman lay neglected by his foot. Little Man pointed to the toy, blue-coated rider. “My Daddy was a policeman but he’s dead now. Someone shot him. They hadn’t ought to of done it, had they? She don’t know he won’t come back. But I’ll never let her forget him. Never.” And that's the promise Little Man —Maurice Heckman, 6. son of Detective Sergeant Carl W.
