STATE SUPREME COURT MA YACT IN DOOMED MAN’S CASE

NEW EVIDENCE AROUSES HOPE FOR REPRIEVE Frank Scott to Die in Chair Next Thursday Unless Leslie Intervenes. GOVERNOR ON VACATION Attorneys Take First Steps to Perfect Appeal of South Bend Man. Hope of Frank Scott, Negro, Gary, to have his death sentence reviewed by the supreme court appeared brighter today, with the finding of evidence upon which appeal may be based. But Scott is doomed to die in the electric chair at the Indiana state prison at Michigan City next Thursday at midnight, unless stay of execution is granted by Governor Harry G, Leslie. Should the stay be granted, every effort will be made to perfect an appeal of the case, his attorneys here declared today. Death sentence seldom has been carried out in Indiana without the case having been passed upon by the high court, Scott was defended h ya pauper attorney and had no funds for appeal. Attorneys Come to Aid During the last week, however, hd uas enlisted the interest of two In-t dianapolis Negro attorneys in his behalf. They are R. L. Bailey and R. L. Brockenburr, law partners at +6 North Pennsylvania stret. Bailey went to Michigan City Friday and interviewed the prisoner in his death cell. He then went tc South Bend and conferred with Edwin Sommer, the pauper defense attorney in the case, who now is a lustice of peace. Sommer had told The Times that he would be In the Governor's office today with petition for commutation of sentence to life imprisonment. Brockenburr reported, however, that this plan has been abandoned und Sommer will co-operate with he Indianapolis attorneys in seeking stay of execution and perfecting an appeal. Divorce Is Denied Scott was convicted of the murder of Isham Hampton, South Bend Negro, whom, Scott claims, stole his wife. Prosecution was based on the grounds that the couple had been divorced. In the Friday interview, Scott denied any divorce and Brockenburr declared the dates between separation of Scott and his wife and the shooting July 16, 1930, indicate that Scott's story is true. Since the time for appeal has elapsed. new evidence must be found to have the case reconsidered, Brockenburr pointed out. He •aid that Bailey belifcved that he has discovered this entering wedge in the failure of Judge Orlo R. Deahl of st. Joseph county superior court to sign the death sentence and records in the case. Bailey is in South Bend today, developing this angle with Attorney Sommer, he said. Petition for stay of execution will be filed in the Governor's office, and L. O. Chasey, secretary to Leslie, has promised to try to get in touch with the chief executive. Leslie is vacationing in Florida.

Politics Is Favorite Dish of Jimmy Walker ; Playboy Mayor

Gotham’s Chief Executive Is De luxe Product of Tammany Hall. This is th# second of a scries of three articles dealing: with the colorful career of Mayor James J. Walker of New York, whose office and administration now are jacinr an investigation. BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, March 21. —Jimmy Walker is a politician, and proud ol ii. Virtually every step in the career of New York’s amazing mayor represents a personal victory, some of them won by attributes entirely contradictory to the impressions and legends surrounding him. Most of the world by now knows Gotham’s mayor-at-large for his personal charm, his talent for friendship, his ready wit and brilliance as a speaker, his sartorial elegance and playboy penchants, and his gift for winning support from the most unlikely quarters. But it is the practical picture that makes Jimmy Walker a paradox. Even his enemies credit him with the alert intelligence, the civic sagacity and the potential driving energy necessary for good government. His disposition, sincerity and motives are what they question. Product of Tammany Walker the politician is a de luxe product of Tammany hall. There were no fishmarkets in his early life, nor a very intimate association with the sidewalks of New York. He ment Into politics because nothing, including parental influence, was able to stop him. He went into Tammany politics because he had been reared under its influence. He was born June 19, 1881, the son of an Irish immigrant and an Irish mother. But the Walker home was a comfortable one in Greenwich Village, then a staid and respectable residential section occupied almost entirely by Irish C&tholics. William H. Walker, the father, ‘ was a prosperous lumber dealer by ; vocation, and a politician thorough- | ly trained in Tammany traditions. He served as leader of an assembly : district, as a member of the board i of aldermen, and later for two terms ' as an assemblyman at Albany.

Lived in Luxury Young Jim Walker—it was not until he entered politics that he was called Jimmy—knew no hardships in his boyhood. He went to private schools, and in the summers was sent to a resort in the Catskills, with a group of cronies. Jim was a mediocre scholar, distinguished mostly by his indifference to discipline and an eagerness to make speeches. He was a star athlete for his slight size, and a clever boxer with any one in his weight. But because he was a member of the “White Collar" gang of Leroy street, and probably something of a loquacious little smartalec, he was the target of many a bigger fist. Particularly was his nose the target. for he was known as a “bleeder" who spouted crimson in every encounter. Became Night Owl At an early age he developed a tendency to stay out late at night, and about the only parental wallopings he received were for stealing over to the vaudeville house on Union Square, where he usually remained for the performance to be repeated at midnight. He was a strikingly handsome boy, and from all accounts, he seldom missed a social function. It was when Jim Walker was 15 that he began a friendship which was to have an important influence on his later life. A young man named Alfred Smith, 23-year-old clerk in the office of the commissioner of jurors, and already a politician of promise, called at the Walker home on New Year’s day of 1895. He was fiattered and attracted by the boy’s eager questions on politics. The senior Walker, hoping Jim would become a business man, sent him to La Salle college for a business course. But he left this and entered New York university, where he rather casually studied law. Tries Several Jobs It was not until 1912 that he took , his bar examination, but before that

he had tried his hand at several other jobs. He worked for a time at a west side banking house, attempted to promote a subway construction company, played one season with a semi-professional baseball team, and dabbled in song writing. The last venture was the most successful. In 1910 he collected $7,500 for the lyrics of the ballad which has been dinned into his unwilling ears ever since: “Will You Love Me in December as You Do in May?” It was while tlus song was at its height that Jimmy Walker met Janet Allen, a young woman from Omaha, Neb., who had come to New York to seek a stage career. Jimmy was engaged in pepping up a musical show being produced by a friend, and selected Janet Allen to lead the chorus for his DecemberMay song. The romance there begun led to a society wedding at St. Joseph’s church in 1912. The bridegroom was two hours late. In 1910, Walker had been elected to the state assembly, there to find Alfred E. Smith, a veteran of six sessions, and Robert F. Wagner among his old Tammany colleagues. He and Smith, who roomed together for a time, and Wagner soon

CHURCH APPROVAL TO BIRTH CONTROL

(Continued from Page One) well as religious, regarding use of contraceptives. But whatever the views, it was emphasized, there should be no effort to impose restrictions legally or by other means of coercion against the use of contraceptives or the dissemination of information regarding them. City Pastors Differ Divergent views on birth control were voiced by Indianapolis protestant clergymen when The Times sought their opinion on the divided report of the committee of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America.

Favors Birth Control DR. FRANK S. C. WICKS (All] Souls Unitarian church)—l feel very strongly that birth control is a fundamental reform and I heartily indorse birth control. The health of women may suffer if birth control is not practiced, and then, too, it has an economic aspect. Every child should be a child of love. It should be the right of mothers to choose when they shall have children. In fact, I'd prefer if birth control were known rather as “voluntary parenthood" rather than under its present name. THE REV. L. C. E. FACKLER, (St. Matthew’s Evangelical Luth-* eran) —It is wrong for a religious organization to take such a stand (favoring birth control), because the Lord has instituted marriage for the express purpose of procreation' in a noble way. From a moral standpoint it is wrong for a church organization to take such a stand, because it only encourages the great excesses which now are rampant. Not Common Sense THE REV. L. B. MOSELEY (Emerson Avenue Baptist)—Personally, I believe birth control is the sensible thing. The minority report is not common sense. (The minority report upheld abstinence as the only justified means of birth control.) THE REV„ R. M. DODRILL (College Avenue Baptist)—l favor the majority report. (The majority report approved birth control.) THE REV. WILLIAM F. ROTHENBURGER (Third Christian)— It’s wholly a personal matter and a problem for decision in the home. THE REV. ISOM FERRIS (Calvary Baptist)—l think the majority report is best not only from the standpoint of the clergy but also from that of medical men. THE REV. FOREST A. REED (Brookside Park United Brethren)— I believe in the minority report. Too much stress is laid on birth control. It’s very much a family matter. THE REV. ORIEN W. FIFER (District Superintendent Methodist Episcopal Church)—All I can say is

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

began to be known as the particular favorites of Boss Murphy of Tammany Hall. They were regularly denounced by the “better element,” and just as regularly reelected with increased majorities. While Smith became, in 1918, Governor of the state, and Wagner went to the supreme court and later to the United States senate, Jimmy Walker flourished in the legislature. After five years in the lower house he was promoted to the senate, there to serve ten years more. He became the party leader, and fought many a battle which added to the prestige of-Smith. In 1925 he walked into a group of newspaper men and said: “If anybody’s got a cracked lip, he’d better not listen to this. I’ve just been told that I’m to be the next mayor of New York.” In the primaries he easily defeated the colorless, deadly-serious John F. Hylan. Against Frank L. Waterman, the strongest candidate the Republicans could offer, Walker’s plurality was more than 400,000. After eight years of the dreary Hylan, even the Republican newspapers welcomed this dynamic, picturesque young chief executive. Next: Jimmy the Playboy.

that I approve the expression of the majority report. Attitude of Best Types THE REV. T. W. GRAFTON (Northwood Christian church) — This report is the attitude of the best type of Christians. That is my opinion; although I haven’t given the problem much thought. THE REV. JOSEPH A. MEARS '(First United Presbyterian)—Personally, I favor birth control. Abstinence is the ideal way, but that may involve in many instances an unnatural restraint that may reshit in marital dissatisfaction and divorce. On the other hand, marriage is not legalized prostitution. As to children, every child should have an equal opportunity, and heredity and existing conditions render this afcnost an impossibility. Birth control, when practiced for the welfare of the oncoming generation, is wise. There would seem to be no immediate danger of race suicide. Man was not created to spawn offspring as lower animals. St. Paul says, “Love your wife as your own body.” Suggests Examinations DR. R. H. BENTING (president Indiana synod United Lutheran church, pastor St. Mark’s United Lutheran, I do believe in birth control. Every woman should have the privilege of obtaining the best information obtainable from reputable physicians concerning the limitation of offspring, I would indorse laws in which a physical examination by doctors was a requisite toward obtaining marriage license. The county issuing the license should bear the cost of the examinations. The rich and the educated extensively practice birth control, but many of these would profess to be horrified at the suggestion that such information be made universally procurable. Why should people refuse to share this knowledge with the poorer and less educated? Let information on birth control be universally disseminated until it ceases to possess news value. Let the churches take that which science offers and sanctify it by the inculcation of moral and ethical princip es. The normal desire for offspring will not be eradicated by knowledge of birth control methods. The sole problem involved for the churches is the old problem of selfishness. The churches could not approve birth control practiced for selfish purposes. The ideals of those marrying will determine the spirit of birth control. Let the churches be satisfied to guide enlightened people and to attack roots of any evil; namely, selfishness in motives. SWEETS LOSING FAVOR WASHINGTON, Mar. 20.—Americans are losing their love for sweets. Last year a decrease of eighttenths of 1 per cent was reported by the bureau of census in the value of confectionary manufactured in 1929 as compared with that made in 1927.

WALKER TO DE VINDICATED, SAY MACHINE HEADS Governor Roosevelt Silent; New Charges Filed Against Mayor. By United Press NEW YORK, March 21.—The belief among Tammany leaders grew stronger today that Mayor James J. Walker would be vindicated by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of the charges of incompetency and misfeasance filed against him by the city affairs committee. There was no apparent basis for the belief, however, for Governor Roosevelt continued his policy of silence, and announced at Albany that there would be no development before Monday. It was revealed Friday that Charles C. Burlingham, president of the Bar Association, drafted the charges against District Attorney Thomas C. T. Crain which now are being investigated by Judge Samuel Seabury as special commissioner of Governor Roosevelt. This was taken as explaining in part the recent charges by Charles F. Kerrigan, assistant to Mayor Walker, that the charges against Crain were made to divert attention from the inquiry into the closed Bank of United States, for it was learned that the Crain charges were prepared in the law office of Emory R. Buckner. Buckner is attorney for Saul Singer, executive vice-president of the defunct bank. It was asserted that John M. Harlan, member of Buckner’s law firm, had a hand in preparing the charges, at Burlingham’s request. The charges against Mayor Walker were supplemented Friday by new ones, also alleging inefficiency, filed with the Governor by William H. Allen, director of the Institute for Public Service. Allen said his document was designed to supplement rather than to duplicate the charges already under consideration.

WOMAN REMOVED FROM POORHOUSE

Generosity of Chum in Days of Girlhood Includes Child. By Times Special DANVILLE, Ind., March 21.—Mrs. William Prichett, widowed mother of two children, Charles, 18, and Susan, 15, has been removed from the Hendricks county poorhouse through the generosity of a girlhood chum who lives at Indianapolis. The son is self-supporting. The dependent daughter will go with the mother to the friend’s home and continue her high school studies. A few years ago the husband and father was a fairly well-to-do Union township farmer. At his death the widow, burdened with two children, was unable to meet her financial obligations and a mortgage on the farm, held by an insurance company, was foreclosed. An ejectment order was served by Sheriff Pounds. The household goods were removed from the home and sheep and cows turned out in a road. Mrs. Pritchett was taken to the poorhouse. Homer Kennedy, a neighbor, provided quarters for the household effects and rounded up the livestock to hold until Mrs. Pritchett arranges to dispose of it.

Suit Involves Roadhouse of Bullet Victim By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., March 21. After hearing part of the evidence in the suit of William Welker, who claims a half interest in a roadhouse where Lee Skinner was found shot to death Feb. 7 and seeks partition of the real estate, Judge Bartlett H. Campbell sustained a motion of the defense to set aside the submission of the evidence.

HOOVER WORKS. EVEN THOUGH HE'S JESTING' Takes Time Out From His Vacation to Prepare Porto Rico Speech. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Prets Staff Corresoonflent ABOARD U. S. S. ARIZONA, AT SEA, March 21.—President Hoover took time out today from his holiday routine of sleeping, playing medicine ball, and generally getting a good rest, to give consideration to the speech he will make In Ponce, Porto Rico, Monday. Although Secretary of War Hurley brought along much data for the President’s use. Mr. Hoover hopes to make his visit one of observation rather than decisions. From the first, he has insisted that his tenday vacation cruise to Porto Rico and the American Virgin islands be strictly devoted to getting a rest from official cares. Administration officials regard Theodore Roosevelt, Governor-Gen-eral of Porto Rico, as the best in the history of the island. It is believed the President's visit will strengthen Roosevelt's position and also inspire confidence in the natives that Washington is interested in their Welfare and problems Officials believe federal aid to the island has been more than generous. The $10,0p0,000 hurricane relief fund was more in proportion to population than the money appropriated for domestic drought relief. The government also allows the Porto Ricans to keep the income and customs taxes collected under federal laws, and the island receives the same protection under the tariff act as do the states.
